INLAND SHIPBUILDING.
The Lesson of Disastrous Season on the
Great lakes.
fSnecial Correspondcnce.1

CLEVELAND. Dec. 12.-The season OF 1892
will long be memorable on the great lakes
for it's terrible disasters. Never in the his
tory of lake shipping have so many lives
been lost and so much property destroyed
IN SINGLE summer. In the first week OF
November the insurance companies sui
fered losses aggregating $450,OOO, and the
total for the season will wipe out all profits
for the companies, while not less than sew
entv-five lives have been lost, of which for
tv-four were in two great disasters.
These two-the laundering Of the Western
Reserve on Lake Superior in September and
Of the w. II. Gilcher on Lake Michigan in
October-are perhaps the most sensational
wrecks that ever occurred on the lakes.
Both vessels were steel steamers, built on
the same model, and neither was over three
wears old. Both were built by the Cleve-
land Shipbuilding company and were du-
plicates of the Pontiac. They were 3OO feet
long and Al feet beam, and ranked with
the first steamers on these fresh water
seas. Yet both these fine vessels went down
in storms that were weathered by many
wooden steamers and much older craft.
It was terrible shock to lake vessel
owners and shipbuilders. Every one felt
such perfect confidence in the steel steamer
that the disasters seemed impossible. Nat
urally discussion followed, and the con-
clusion is likely to be drawn in a meeting
of INSURANCE representatives soon TO de-
eide upon a proper method of strengthen
ing some Of the steel steamers. 1t is now
generally admitted by vessel men that the
record breaking fever has been carried too
far, and that the desire to have boats that
carried unusually heavy cargoes upon

matches is being built double, and double
plates are being placed on the sides in the
upper or shear streaks, and butt straps in
side and out. This gives increased strength
at the points where the greatest weakness
is shown.
These facts must not be taken to mean
that all the steel vessels of the lakes are
not stanch Some mistakes in construc-
ton have been made, but the great major
lty of the vessels are as seaworthy as any
In the world. Such boats as the Mariposa
are just source of pride. She is one of
the largest vessels on the lakes, being 800
feet in length and 45 feet beam, with a
carrying capacity of nearly 1000 tons, and
Us beautiful and substantial as she is large.

not ALWAYS q more harmonious name 1ney
select the most distinguished names they
can hear Of. and often name themselves Ior
cities Several are named Grover CleYe-
land and Benjamin Harrison, the names OF
these "great fathers" being very popular
with them. To these names are added the
name of their tribe-for instance, Grover
Cleveland Maiore, Benjamin Harrison
Pima, Mathew Quay Apache, John W.
Noble Isleta, and one young man calls
himself Chicago Apache.
The girls and women select more fastldl-
Gus names those of pretty rivers, ancient
cities, empires etc.-such rs Nile Laguna,
Egypt Iseta and Mediterranean Naneon
Moiave. Attached to the school is a garden
of several acres, where the pupils put in
their extra time cultivating supplies for
the school. They also do shoe and boot
making, harness making, sewing, etc. The
women do the scrubbing, cleaning and
keeping the houses in order, and detach-
ment of men and boys do the cooking.
A corps of cadets have the supervision
of the grounds and attend to the corporal
punishment Of the pupils. When pupil
runs away the cadets pursue him and cap
fix the punishment-usually ten or twenty
lashes. The government uperintendent,
Mr.. Crueger, suggests a birch SWITCH but
the cadets prefer the cowhide, and they
infiict the punishment in the presence of
the entire school. The culprit stands stolid-
ly and takes his whipping without a muir
muir. 1t would be considered womanish TO
cry.
The superintendent cannot prescribe the
punishment nor increase it, but he can
diminish or remit it, This is done as Il
a matter of policy, so that the superin-
tendent can exercise mercy and gain the
good will Of his pupils, whereas, if he
were given the power of punishment, the
hatred of race would ripen into a rebellion.
The boys wear a uniform, and the girls
wear the ordinary female dress. When
visited by their parents from the surround
ing Indian villages there is striking con-
trast in costume-the father in his Indian
costume greeting his son IN an American
cadet uniform; the mother in her buck

few pupils become dissatisfied. But when
they do and their parents consent they are
permitted TO leave.
The superintendent states that as rule
the boys are brighter than the girls
and learn much quicker, though the per-
ceptive qualities of both are rather dull,
and il takes a great deal of explanation,
illustration and object teaching TO make
them grasp the simplest ideas. OF course
the younger children progress more rapidly
than those aged twenty or twenty-five
years.
A Sunday school is also connected with
the government school. Few of the pupils
are so far advanced as TO read the Bible,
but they are given oral instruction. The
Lords Prayer, the Ten Commandments
and the story Of the creation is repeated to
them, which they commit 10 memory, or,
rather, the substantial meaning. In re-
peating these to their teachers they give
what might he styled "garbled extracts"
and express great surprise at the manu-
facture Of woman from the rib of man.

he was a Democrat, as the last ac-
count we had Taos county elected

in the case are that the propagation
of the false reports of the advance

whose whole aim is to secure or retain
