The alliance between Moore and
myself is purely a business one.
L am a publisher with an outfit
of printers tools, and it is in my
line to print papers, as a job.
In regard to the Blade, I will
do more than merely print it. l
will look to the advertising and
extension interests.
Moore has not time to do this.
and if he had the time, he
couldn't, or wouldn't, do it right;
that is, after approved presidents.
He is not built that way.
To edit the paper and dodge
the shot gun constituency will
keep him busy. Then 1 hope
soon to get him in the right shape
to take the stump during the
campaign. l feel satisfied that he
is capable of a style of oratory
that will reach and win the votes
of the masses.
1 will simply claim a little bust
ness department in the paper
every once in a while. l edit a
paper of my own-We Worker
and help edit, on the cooperative
plan, quite a number of others.
In fact with what 1 now have IN
hand and at hand, I can soon
count eighteen others, and ''more
to follow" So l haven't the time,
if L had the desire, to help
Moore edit the Blade.
Then too he is such a prolific
genius, that the Blade now can't
hold half he could write if you
would wake him up right good.
Already we have had a gentle
lock horns about advertising

"The Whale" or "Balanm's ASS y
l would rice versa. l want to, and

to put it on a solid business foun-

Admiral Farragut arose and protested

Mr.. Gladstone began by assuring the

Lord Palmerston, who said: Better a

quent Grafton. He had read the works
Of the American poet, and quoted pas
sages from several of his poems, and
concluded by paying a splendid tribute
to Mr.. Longfellow's attachments. The
subject of this superb panegyric was

Columbus allied himself by marriage
with an Italo-Portuguese family. She
whom he was to choose and take to
wife was named Felipa Muniz Pere'
trello.
she belonged to a noble house asso
ciated with Dom Henry, Of Ariz, in his
explorations and discoveries as well be

grace of the infante.
Laws like those which in chemistry
govern the affinity of combining atoms,
in social intercourse produce personal
affinities. The greatest OF all discover
ers was himself destined to wed the
daughter of a discoverer.
Columbus often went to mass on Sun
days and other obligatory days. His
residence in Lisbon being near the con-
vent of All Saints, he resorted thither
to perform his devotions, and in his as
siduous attendance there it was his
fate to be attracted by Dona Felipa
Muniz until he sought and obtained
her in marriage.

In connection with this subject q
Madrid periodical says:
"a great deal Of data Of very varied
character has been obtained, but moth
ing that would give the exact details
sought, because, doubtless, the vessels
of that time varied greatly, not only in
the form of their hulls, but also in their
rigging, as will be seen by an examine
ton of the engravings and paintings Of
the fifteenth century, and as there was
no ship that could bear TIE generic
name of 'caravel,' great confusion was
caused when the attempt was made to
state, with scientific certainty, what
the caravels WERE"
The word "caravel" comes from the
Italian car a bella; and with this
ethnology it is safe to suppose that the
name was applied to those vessels on
account of the grace and beauty OF their
form, and finally was applied to the
light vessels which went ahead OF the
fleets as dispatch boats. Nevertheless
we think we have very authentic data,
perhaps all that is reliable, in the letter

COLUMBUS VESSELS.
fhe Flagship Santa Maria-How She Was
Built and Equipped.


Built and Equipped.
The Santa Maria was the largest of
the three vessels in the little feet Of
Columbus. A reproduction of this YES
sci was launched at Carraca, Spain,
June %, 1892, and her appearance at
the time is shown in the accompanying
cut.
This vessel was built at the expense
Of the Spanish government at the ar
senal of Csrraca, siXty-three days be-
ing taken for the construction of the
vessel, under the direction of Engineer
Leopold Puente, of Wilke. Her length
between perpendiculars is 22.6O meters;
length over all, 10 meters; extreme
beam, 9.S6 meters. The hull weighs
1917 tons; it has five decks and main
mast, foremost, mizzenmast and bow.
spirit. The armament consists of six
falconets and two lombards, the latter
being ON the main deck.
The Spanish committee having the
matter in charge made careful exami-
nations of all obtainable data to insure
that the three vessels reproduced by
them should be in every detail which
could be definitely determined exact
copies of the original Columbus vessels.

There would be poetic Justice in
placing the tomb of Colum bus in Sar

greatest activity as a discoverer is as
ISOLATED, and the place where with the
timbers of his wrecked flagship he
built the first European habitation in
America. The chains placed on him by
Bobadilla during his Imprisonment
and which he declared should be re-
moved by no less authority than that

The same lateens serve for this double

had bands of canvas called bowlnes,
