There have been instances where mill
tary chieftains assumed responsibility
tor momentous events that brought dis
aster to the cause they We're accredited
TO represent, thereby shielding suba!-
terms from the censure they deserved.
A notable instance was that of General
Lee at Gettysburg. After the disastrous
repulse his troops sustained at Little
Round Top and along the ridge. and they
had fallen back N disorder, Lee assisted
the line officers in person in raliying his
men, assuring them the while that the
fault was his, not theirs. The case OF
General Beauregard, who now assumes
responsibility for precipitating the con-
fiict by firing the first shot at Sumter in
1861, is of different sort. Evidently
the latter means to claim for his act
great honor, but in the eyes OF the world
it is OF very cheap kind.

IS YOUR HOME COSY7

1t May BE Elegant, But II 1t Comfort
able:
There are many so-called homes that
do not deserve the name at all. Home
means comfort. but when we have it
fixed up so deliberately that we must
either sit in the garnet or the back yard
to genuinely enjoy ourselves then it is
high time we made a change and
turned out the too-good-to-use articles
and substitute for them real homeiy
things that we could enjoy every day
of the year and every moment of the
day.
Men like a pretty home-maker, no
mistake there. They can appreciate
beauty as we'll as the next one, but
they want that beauty to be OF an order
that appeals to their sense OF home
comfort OF what good are cushions so
deliberately embroidered that no head
can ever repose on them? What sense
is there in easy chairs of such rich ma
terial that they are quite the reverse OF
the name given them?
Is there any satisfaction in a room
the furnishings of which cost hundreds
of dollars, when it is only open at rare
intervals, while the owner. perhaps,
sits by the kitchen Are or in some dingy
sitting-room, where he can smoke If he
wants to, put his feet on the fender,
and as great indulgence tilt back in
his chair?
Let the sunshine into the gloomy
rooms, have a couch to lie on, piano
to play on; in fact, home TO live in;
one wherein sense of hospitality and
good cheer exudes from the very tables
and chairs, instead of a msusoleum OF
gloomy elegance, wherein everything
is for show and nothing TO be used

HoNoRs FOR CAPTAIN ANDREWS.
The Stanch Little Dory Sapolio a Center
Of Attraction in England.

A dispatch from London announces
the arrival there of Captain William A.
Andrews with his little dory, the Sa
polio. in which he recently crossed the
ocean from Atlantic City, n. j., to
Huelva, Spain. The captain intends to
exhibit his boat through the streets of
London. He has crossed the ocean
three times in the smallest boats that
ever made the passage. The Sapolio is
only fourteen feet MX inches in length,
with breadth of beam of only five feet
five inches. Her depth is only three
feet.
Fore and aft the boat tapers to point
and resembles gunner's ''sneak box"
1t is dccked all over with half-inch
cedar. The sides and bottom are made
Of the same thin material, and the
whole is covered with canvas drawn as
tight as a drum head, oiled and painted.
The deck is a whaleback. There is an
opening in it about two by three feet, in
which there is hardly room for one per-
son to sit comfortably. Under the deck
are compartments for provisions.
Tie mast rises eight feet shove the
deck and the boom Is thirteen feet Ions.
The amount of sail carried is less than
fifteen square yards.
The captains main diet during his
trip was oyster crackers and water. He
carried forty pounds of the crackers and
thirty gallons Of water. He had canned
goods and baked beans, condensed milk,
whisky and tobacco.
Captain Andrews is Yankee all the
way through. By trade he is piano
maker. He is 40 years old, tall and
OIL lot in
blond hair. He is of venturesome
spirit, and deep-sea boating is a passion
with him. He was sixty-three days in
crossing the last time, but his tiny craft
was spoken by faster vessels at various
stages of the trip, SO that the captains
friends were kept fairly we'll informed
as to his progress. He is going to exhibit
his boat at the worlds fair in Chicago.

Junior Ed Murphy of New York
seems to have the call on the United
States senatorship from that state, de-
spite the preference OF Mr.. Cleveland for
w. {. Whitney for that position. Tie
president-elect can very easily elucidate
the problem if he really wishes to see
Murphy rewarded. There are eight cab;-
net positions 10 fill, either one of which
he would no doubt as ably discharge as
any Clevelan is likely to call to them.
l. may be that Cleveland regards Murphy
as dangerous rival TO his hext friend
Whitney and would like to have him

The Dyrenforth system of rain making
IS very similar to the Chinese reform
method practiced by Roosevelt. 1t is all
noise. BY the way, that reminds us:
Will Cleveland pursue the policy he did
during his other term in the White
House IN relation to the SWIVEL service :?
Ii he undertakes it he will become, right
away, the most unpopular president
this country ever had. Republicans
don't like him at any time, and his own
party will hate him if he doesn't give
the spoils to the victors.
