A DOUBLE ENDED BOAT.

opposite end being called the bow. A
double ended boat, one that is sharp at
the bow and the stern, may be rowed
stern first, provided the rudder is re-
moved from its place. The seats on
which the oarsmen sit are called thwarts.
There are two kinds of oars, spoon shaped
and fiat bladed ones. The former are
preferable for light pleasure boats or
racing shells, while the latter are better
adapted to heavier and to working boats.
The pieces of iron and brass that fit in
sockets on the rail of the boat are called
oarlocks. The extreme edge or toprail,
is called "gunwale" or "gunn'l," in a
sailors vernacular.
When entering boat one should
never step on the gunwale, as by so do,
ing the craft is liable to capsize. Jump
ing into a boat is also very bad habit
The proper way of getting on board is
to put the right foot down firmly either
in the middle of thwart or in the. bot
tom of the boat The rope which Ii
found in the bow is named painter.
It should always be kept clear and ready
to be thrown out at any moment Il
you are alone sit always in the middle o.
| the middle thwart. Then get your oar
out and begin slowly to row. The blades
should be dipped just deep enough t.
become covered with water; they als'
should be brought forward as far as pos
sible, and then while they are immersed
throw your weight upon them. 1t take
indeed very little practice to becom
accustomed to the stroke. After yo'
have acquired an even stroke begin prac
ticing to trn your little craft. This l
done by holding one oar motionles
while pulling with the other. The quick
est way of turning boat is of cours
to push with one and pull with the othe
oar, but only persons who have acquire,
some proficiency can safely do this. AL
ways keep a sharp lookout and max
sure there are no obstacles in your way
Collisions on the water are always dan
gerous. To tomfool in boats is the wors
thing young people can do, and many
Young life has been lost in that way
With ordinary precautions, however
people are safer in a boat than In cal
riage or on horseback.

A HOUSE WITH A HISTORY.
The Home of Samuel Slater, the Father
of American Manufactures.
TSnecial Correspondence1

OF American ManuIacIuress
Especial Correspondence.l
PAwTUCKET, R. l., June 30.-This
city, which for a long time claimed the
honor of being the largest town in the
United States, will always occupy
prominent place in Rhode Island history
as the home of Samuel Slater, the father
of American manufactures and of the
first cotton mill in America. Until re-
Gently the house occupied by Samuel
Slater has been used as private dwell
ing. 1t stands upon one Of the princi-
pal business streets, large, square,
brick building, with door in the CEN
ter of the front and large parlor on
either side. The quaint, old fashioned
wall paper ON these two rooms has al
ways been an object of interest to visit
ors and has quite a history. 1t represents
romantic landscape with trees half
the height of the room, and tradition
has it that this identical paper was de-
signed and made for European mon
arch, whose fastidious taste was not
pleased at the completion of the work
and it was refused. The manufacturer
was of course ruined by this unhappy
transaction, and Samuel Slater hearing
of ofit-whether prompted by philanthropy
or self glorifcation is not stated-imme-
diately purchased it.
Another object of interest about the
old Slater mansion some forty or fifty
years ago was the family coach, around
which hung an air of genteel antiquity
and memories of some famous general,
who was said to have ridden in it some
time away back in colonial days. 1t
was the great delight of the boys of
those days to make surreptitious visits
to the barn in the rear of the house,
climb up on the high seat of the old
vehicle and lounge in the capacious in
terror.
None of the incidents connected with
Samuel Slater are more interesting than
one given in the records of the Provi-
dence plantations. This little account
credits woman with being the origi.
nator Of that most useful article, cotton
thread: shortly before 1900 young
lady in Pawtucket made a suggestion
which gave rise to another industry
Miss Marcy Wilkinson, whose sister
| afterward married Samuel Slater, who
established the first cotton mill in the
United States, asked the latter if he
could not make thread from cotton
since linen was so uneven that it was
hard to use. In reply he gave her some
cotton, which she herself spun intt
thread, probably the first ever made IL
America. She wound it upon larg'
spool and many years later presented i
to the Rhode Island Society for the En-
couragement of Domestic Industry, a
whose rooms it now is"
The Willlinsons were an old Paw
tucket family, and in st. Paul's Episco
pal church, the oldest in the city and al
ugly but unique old frame building, ar'

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 6. = A
bloody battle between Pinkerton de-
tectives and the lock ed-out employees
of the Carnegie mills, began here this
morning and is still in progress.
Three hundred detectives arrived
in Pittshurg this morning from
the East and were at once
loaded on barges and started for
Homestead. The news of their ar
rival preceded them, and when they
arrived at the wharf at least 5000
people were there to meet them.
The detectives attempted TO land,
but met with II determined
resistance, and the first engage
ment followed. The Pinkerton
men opened fire and at the
first volley two workmen fell. This
enraged the mob and they charged
the detectives and the firing became
general. AT the first the strikers re.
treated, but soon rallied. AT this
point q band of 600 detectives at
tempted to leave the boat, but the
strikers met the m with a sharp volley,
which forced them to retreat to the
shelter of the boats. In this sally
the captain of the Pink kertons was
seriously wounded. This bloody
spectacle aroused the dropping spir-
It's of the crowd, and with a hoarse
cheer half dozen men rushed to the
place. They picked up the bodies
and carried them behind the trestle
