Admiral Walker Left in Charge of the
Consolidated Squadrons.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Rear Admiral
Gherardi's flag was hauled down from the
main truck Of the Philadelphia at noon Fri
day and the admiral left the ship with
his personal staff and several of his servants,
who have been with him during his com
mand OF the North Atlantic squadron tie
past three years.
They are all to accompany the admiral
across the continent, where be goes in few
days to gather into one squadron all the
modern ships in commission and bring them
| around to this COST In time to participate
In the grand naval review in the spring.
Admiral Gherardi has been in command
ahoa considerably more than three years,
! a term in itself longer than that granted
the average flag officer. He has been prom
| ised the important position of commander
! in chief during the naval review, and In
order that he may hold a rank equal to that
of the senior foreign admirals who will
come here, he will probably be made an
acting vice admiral title that has not

The vessel was suddenly ordered to leave
Newport, and after most hasty prepara-
tions and to the great mystery of her Of
tcers she left the anchorage at 2 O'Clock
Friday morning, coming through the sound
with all possible haste.
Upon arriving here Admiral Walker
! found that his hopes and expectations were
fully realized, and that as Admiral
Gherardis flag came down he was left in
command of the consolidated squadron
the North Atlantic aud the squadron Of
evolutiou-s combination of which he was
virtually promised the command seme lit
tie time ago.
The makeup of the squadron is as fol-
lows: Chicago, flagship; Philadelphia,
Miantonomoh. Atlanta. Concord, Kear-
| sarge Vesuvius, Cushing and the Benning-
ton, upon her return from Europe, where
she is at present cruising in company with
the Newark.
The title of the squadron will probably be
the North Atlantic squadron. but the plans
and drills scheduled for the squadron Of
evolution will be put in force and the YES
sells will, as far as practicable, lie a squad

eyes and ears. The cutting away OF that
canvas suit could not have taken more than
a few seconds, but 1t seemed like a lifetime.
The ripping of the threads sounded like the

It Enabled a Woman to Avoid Testi-
flying in San Francisco.

~ Ah& AL Gah EEhllCl6COs
FSont the San Francisco Chronicle.
Minnie Gerth transferred her troubles
from the Justices court to the police court,
and she is sorry for It. Miss Gerth is the
woman who won little notoriety some
time ago, when abe sued John Gibeau, a
carriagemaker, who lives at 1908 Church
street, to recover IS that she claimed was
| due her for nursing Gibeau through his
| sickness Justice Low dismissed the suit
| when Glbeau testified that he had paid the
amount to DR.. Louis Mathe for Miss Gerth.
| Then the nurse had Gibeau arrested on a
| charge OF perjury.
After several continuanees, made at the
request Of Miss Gerth, the case came up be-
| fore Judge Rix yesterday morning. DIR.
| Mathe was present to testify that the money
had been paid to him. as claimed by Gibeau.
Miss Gerth was also present, but she re-
fused to testify when called.
Your honor, I'm 80 sick that can't stay
here. she said, when called to the witness
box.
"You don't look sick. What's the mat
terfn asked Judge Rix.
'Its my heart; 1t goes like this-"and
she pounded the judges bench with the
regularity and noise OF triphammer.
well, you are here, and 1 guess you are
able to tell what you know about the case.

Thea the nurse-the sick woman-stood
up before the judge and began TO shout like
a California street auctioneer. She was
sick and she was going home, and she did
not care a continental what became of Mr.
Gibeau or the charge against him. Judge
Rix declared that she must testify, and or
dered the bailiff to see that she sat down.
She relied upon woman's last resort.
Both arms went up into the air and she
uttered shrek that a Comauche buck
might have been proud of. Before the
rAfters had done shivering a second a
louder yell went up, and the witness dropped
In a heap on the floor. But she continued
to scream uttering SHREK after shrek, and
people began to run toward the city ball
from all directions. Those eager to get into
the court room were tumbled over by a
dozen or more who were in a hurry to
get out, and the officers and the
| prisoners in the dock were completely
demorahsed. Two balliffs dragged the
cutting Attorney Nicholson, who knows
something about Mysteries, had dashed hall
| a bucket OF water into her face.
When Miss Gerth had been carried 10 the
receiving hospital, followed by a big crowd
DIR. Mathe was called. He told bis story
and the charge OF perjury was dismissed.
Miss Gerth made things lively in the hos
pital for nearly an hour, shrieking, erwin,
and denounoing everybody between hel
outbursts. But when the mRtron's back WA
turned she quietly slipped out into the stree
and disappeared. She did not testify.

Without his knowledge
from the Youths Companion.
The Rev. H. W. Pierson, D. D., was for
many years a travelling agent Of the Amer
Ican Bible Society in the southwest. For a
part of that time he rode horse Of which
he was Justly proud and OF which he speaks
again and again, always In terms OF eulogy,
in his volume Of "reminiscences, I'm
the Brush" One night he arrived
at a celebrated watering place. A
4-horse stage coach drove up at the same
time, and DR.. PierSon noticed the eyes Of
the driver and the passengers fixed admir-
inRly upon his Jenny" The colporteur
entered the hotel. registered his name
without prefx-and went TO the wash room.
As he finished his ablutions and stood wip-
ing his face, the stage driver burst into the
room in great excitement,
Mr.. Person." be said, twill you allow
your horse to RUM The money is up and
we'll have 8 race if you'll only say the
word"
As be spoke he shook in the agents face a
mass of bank bills drawn through his fin
gers after the manner of gamblers in those
parts.
Mr. Pierson was startled to hear his name
pronounced in this way by a stranger, but
bethought himself at ones Of the Motel reg
lister; then a servant appeared with his sad
room, and with an abrupt, emphatic mo.
sir !" he turned away.
In due time the supper bell rang, and Mr..
Pierson stepped out Of his room upon the
piazza. There he encountered a gentleman,
who at once approached him pleasantly, and
said:
Il hope. sir, you will reconsider your de-
cision and allow you mare to run. 1 have
made bet that she can outrun anything
here and the money is No. Allow me to say
that l am an old Virginian and Judge OF
horses, and If you will let her run am sure
to win"
By.this time the Bible sooiety's agent had
recovered his self-possession. He bowed po-
litely to his Virginia friend and said:
Do you think, sir, it will do for a Presby-
terrain clergyman to commence horse racing
50 soon after reaching the springsr
Now 1T was the other mans turn to be
t1ustered. He did not say a word, and Dr.
Person went in 60 supper. When he came
out again, the stranger made up to him in
the most respectful manner
ALLOW me to speak to you again, sir.
wish to apologize. beg your pardon. sir.
| assure you, sir, that nothing would in
duce me knowingly to insult clergyman. VI
DR.. Pierson made some good natured re-
ply and thought nothing more about the
matter.
The next winter in passing through an
other part OF the county, he stopped at q
| blacksmith's shop to get shoe frightened.
Wasn't you at the Springs last summer
with this maref' said the blacksmith.
The doctor answered in the affirmative.

mares neck and looking into vacancy with
pleased expression, as if he were living
over again some pleasant scene, "they got
her out, preacher. and run her anyway"
| Then, as if to make the matter all right
with the owner, he looked up into his face
with a smile and an emphatic nod as he
added: And, preacher, she beat, she did
he won his money"
