There was an old negro floating in a
skiff on the headwaters of the Licking.
He was fshing-fish mighty fine down
that way. He had boy in the boat with
him who kept looking into the water
until he lost his balance and disappeared
in the water. Quicker than I could tell
you the old man had his coat off and dove
for the boy. He brought him up all right,
then rowed for the bank. When they got
out, dripping, OF course, white man,
who had seen the whole business, COM
plimented the old man on his heroic act.
"He must be son Of yours" said the
white man.
"No; no, sah; no son O. mine"
"Nephew, then?"
ono; no, sab; no nephew"
"Cousin?"
"No; no cousin"

for saving his life.'

A. SUCCESSFUL SUBMARINE BOAT.
The Dream OF Jules Verne Has Been
Realized at Last. 81

Realized at Last. 81
The dream of Jules Verne has been real.
lied. A submarine boat such as he drew
from his vivid imagination has been suc-
cessfully tried at Detroit.
George @. Baker, of Chicago, inventor
OF this nameless submarine boat, first
conceived the idea of his invention in
San Francisco, and has been three years
having this first boat built. The hull OF
the boat is 40 feet long, IA feet deep and
feet wide; is built in perfect curves, ana
horizontal cross section shows perfect
ellipse. The hull is constructed OF oak
sections, six inches thick, laid with
broken joints. This skeleton work is
covered with waterproof cloth, and is
then planked lengthwise with one-1nch
oak, the structure being capable OF stand
ing pressure OF seventy-fve pounds TO
the square inch.
On top of the hull and directly in the
centre is the coming tower, fifteen inches
nigh, supplied with thick glass lights.
The tower Is fitted with q watertight COW
er, through which entrance to the inside
OF the boat is obtained. In the rear OF
the coming tower is the movable smoke
stack OF telescope structure. About the
same distance forward of the centre is an
air pipe through which the air is drawn
by means OF a powerful electric fan. The
smokestack, coming tower and air pipe
are surrounded by a light iron railing
several inches above the water line at
which the boat usually floats.
On entering the boat through the con-
ming tower one finds directly under the
coming tower platform for the pilot,
who controls the wheel that steers the
boat and also the levers by which is
manipulated the machinery that causes
the boat to descend or ascend. The deck
proper is three feet from the bottom. The
space beneath the deck is fitted with
bulkheads, separating it into compart-
ments which can be filled with water.
There also is slowed the necessary bal
last. Water is let in from the bottom
when the boat is to be submerged. On
this deck are the boiler, engine, dynamo
and batteries.

Seized Rum in Sanford
After Many Days.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 5.-The
British ship Knight Commander arrived
here yesterday, one year and so days
from Antwerp, with a cargo of cement.
While she was Oh her way the price OF
the article she carried had risen and fall
en- several times. The charter lapsed
nearly a year ago.
She sailed from this port in January
and the. following July put into the
Falkland Islands, having been disman-
tied by gale.
Shortly after she sailed from there the
crew mutinied and, after a hard fight,
tain Murdoch put into Port Stanley and
the ringleaders were tried, convicted and
sentenced to two years at hard labor.
At Montevideo fresh crew was OBJ
tanned after much difficulty, 5000 being
paid for each man.

SECTION OF THE SUBMERGED BOAT.
The Roberts marine boiler OF $50 horse
power is located astern of the coming
tower, oil being used as fuel The engine
is of a common marine build, of sixty
horse power. The motor, placed directly
unde. the coming tower platform, was
especially constructed by the Jenney Com
pany. When not being used to run the
boat it can be utilized as a dynamo to
charge the Woodward batteries. There
are 234 cells, divided into four series, ca
pable of giving a force of fifty horse
power for four consecutive hours. The
boat is thus equipped with double mo-
tive power. When on the surface steam
power is used. In submarine navigation,
however, electricity is brought into SER
vice. The same cells that furnish the
power also supply the incandescsntlights
and by means of powerful search-light
even the surrounding water can be illu-
minated.
The general shape of the boat is Mr..
Bakers own idea, but its unique feature
lies in the propeller5 and the propeller.
shafts. The propellers are on cross shafts
and are connected with the engine shafts
by nlitred gears. The whole works in a
movable sleeve controlled by worm gear
by which the pilot can defect the pro-
peller shafts from the horizontal to the
perpendicular at will. Mr.. Bakers inven-
tion lies in the general construction Of the
propeilers, which are situated exactly
amidships at the sides of the boat.
When the propeller shaft is hori-
zontal the revolving wheels send
the boat forward or backward. AS the
angle Of the shaft IS elevated or depressed
the propellers carry the boat down or up
at an angle corresponding to the angle Of
the shaft. At the same time, the peculiar
shape of the boats hull keeps it perfectly
horizontal and prevents its nose from run
ming into the bottom.
In the first trial of this boat on the De.
treitriyer it was found that it was posi-.
BILE to propel it under water at the rate Of
ten miles an hour, and that the pilot
could steer 1t up or down, or in any direc-
ton, with perfect ease.

A Boys Essay.

A boy in Wichita (Kansas), school
has been suspended for reading the fol-
lowing essay on "pants:' Pants are
made for men, and not men for pants.
Women are made for men, and not pants.
When man pants for q woman, or a
woman pants for man, they are pair of
pants. Such pants don't last. Pants are
like moiasses, thinner in hot weather, and
thicker in cold. The man in the moon
changes his pants during an eclipse. Men
are often mistaken in pants. Such mis-
takes make bteeches of promise. There
has been much discussion as to whether
pants is singular or plural. Seems to US
when men wear pants they are plural, and
when they don't wear any it is singular.
Men get on tear in their pants and it is
all right; but when the pants get on a
tear it is all wrong"

Not Likely to be Transferred to Balti-

A REGISTER reporter had an enter
tanning talk with RI. Rev. Bishop Kahn
relative to the Provincial Council now
going on in the city.
These Councils are held once year
and the places Of meeting are generally
selected in regular order according
to the seniority of the Bishop. For in
stance last year it was held In Savan-
nah, and as come next in point OF
seniority, il is held here this year. Next
year it will be held in St. Augustine,
Fla. These Councils, apart from the
purely business relations, afford an OPP
portunity for a pleasant social inter
change. and these Councils, wherever
they are TO be held are awaited with
agreeable expectancy.
Are the deliberations Of these coun-
ellis usually. published" asked the re-
porter.
"Oh, no. They are matters that
would be of no special interest TO the
people generally. The business is large
" OF routine and informal nature, and
consists mainly of executive matters
pertaining TO the respective dioceses
and churches. Occasionally matters
come up for consideration that are OF
national importance, and. In this case
the report is submitted TO the Arch
Bishops, OF whom there are thirteen in
this country, and they form a commit
tee that decides all questions, and their
decisions are final, so far as this coun-
try is concerned. They meet every year
at such See as they shall decide. and
dispose OF all the various reports sub

"Will there be any speech making at
the reception tomorrow evening at
Convent Hall?" asked the reporter.
NO, it will simply be an informal re-
ception, with no addresses or stated
programme Of any kind. The reception
will merely be held to allow all who de-
sire to pay their respects TO Cardinal GiS-

CARDINAL GIBBONS TALKS.
\ Register" Reporter Enjoys an Inter-
esting Chat With His EminenCe.

eSIlug CudL WIN ms GhlihOhSC'
The presence in Wheeling of the high
est dignitary in the Roman Church in
the United States, and with the excep-
ton of the Pope, among the highest
dignitaries in the world, naturally eS-
cites con siderable interest, not alone
among the members of the church, but
among all classes OF people generally,
and all day yesterday hundreds express
| ed an earnest desire to see His Emil
nence. Occupying as he does such a
foremost position in the Church, there
has naturally appeared from time to
| time 10 the various newspapers and
periodicals much concerning his life and
travels, all of which has heen read,
especially among the members of the
Church. with the deepest concern, and
his movements about the country are
ever closely followed by thousands Of
adherentS.
Believing that few words from His
Eminence would be eagerly read, a
REGISTER reporter, at the close OF the
May devotion at the Cathedral last
evening, called at the Episcopal resi-
dence, where he was kindly and
courteously received by Right Reverend
Bishop Kahn, with whom he had most
pleasant conversation. After a short
talk on matters pertaining to the Pro-
vincia meeting, Bishop kain escorted
into the parlors Cardinal Gibbons, who
was quietly resting in an adjoining
apartment preparatory 10 retiring.
After being formally introduced and
a preliminary exchange of greeting,
Cardinal Gibbons comfortably seated
himself in a large arm chair, and
readily answered, and al times expatia-
ted, on such questions as the reporter
advanced. The Cardinal is rather spare
of frame, thin viSage, yet has face OF
rare intelligence, and eyes that are
sharp aud penetrating and full OF mean
ing. His thorough composure, ease OF
manner. courteous demeanor, huency OF
soeech. and command Of language are
readily noticeable. Upon his head was
the small red cap that Innocent Nv or
dained that Cardinals should wear, to
show that they ought to expose them
selves to the shedding OF their blood in
the cause of the Church.

Rt. Rev. Bishop Kain.
Regularly speaking, the Provincial
Councils are held every year, but as
there is really not enough business to
make it necessary to go through all the
formaities of such meetings, a substl-
tute has been found in the yearly in
formal meetings OF the Bishops OF the
Province, in which the condition and
urogress of the church, and minor mat
ters relating to it, in the different
dioceses, are discussed. Church matters
exclusively are considered.
The Province of Baltimore comprises
the dioceseS of Baltimore, Charleston,

Wilmington, Del, and Wilmington. n.
c. BY an agreement among the differ
emit Bishops, the meetings are held
each wear at the different Episcopal
cities. in turn. This is the first time In
2 number OF years that Wheeling has
been honored with the conference.
Cardinal Gibbons arrived in the city
over the Baltimore 81 Ohio railroad,
Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock. He
occupied the private car Delaware,
of First Vice President Lord, OF the b.

by his Secretary, Rev. Father w. 5.

party was met at the depot by Bishop
Kahn and Mgr. J. T. Sullivan, and were

at st. Charles College with Cardinal
Gibbons. and has known him ever since
he was seventeen years of age.
