COLUMBUS CARAvELS,
Tho Vessels In Which the Great Adnirnl's
Expedition Sailed.

The Vessels In Which the Great Adniral's
Expedition Sailed.
Some research has been given in re-
cent times to the question of the size
and equipment of the vessels command
ed by Columbus when he discovered
America. A hypothetical restoration of
the caravels has been made for tho
Columbus exposition in Spain. All &C
cessible information with regard to the
building and fittings of such vessels as
those Columbus commanded was col
lected. Some points are still uncertain,
but it is doubtful if more will ever be
known about tho vessels than is now
known.
This picture shows the longitudinal
section of the Santa Maria as recon-
structed. The Santa Maria was the
flagship of the expedition. Though she
was considerably larger than the other
vessels they were all built on about the
same model The smaller vessels, how
ever, were only partly decked, and their
rigging differed from that of the larger
caraveL In this sectional view the
cooking galley is seen in the forecastle
just abaft the foremost. The hold for
the cargo is divided into compartments.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-There will be
five sets of presidential electors voted for
next Tuesday in Observation-Disclosures
by the Republican, Democratic, Prohibi-

Pennsylvania also elects two judges of the
supreme court, two congressmen-at large

noveIsts prove successful dramatists
that there is an extra risk in producing
their plays (which is the truth in a
nutshell). On the other hand, the in
centive for novelist to turn dramatist
is the larger reward.
Young Mccarthy, in the new paper,
The Player, bluntly declares that nov
elists can't write plays because they
are ignorant of the methods of the
playwright, which can only be ac-
quired by practical experience behind
the scenes, which all the standard
dramatists have had.
This discussion, started by the Pail
Mall Gazette, has engaged Ouida, Miss
Braddon and all the popular novelists.

cepting possibly Henry Arthur Jones,

good work, and George Sims, whose
work is ephemeral. can be relied on.

THE WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-Tbe weekly BAN
statement shows the following changes:

denly rose to it's feet and furiously charged
the prime minister. Mr.. Gladstone, taken
completely by surprise, was unable even
to step aside, and he was knocked down
and trampled upon. Fortunately, after
standing over him for few seconds, as
though it would gore him, the beast
trotted off, and Mr.. Gladstone, retaining
his presence of mind and seizing the first
favorable opportunity, regained his feet
and succeeded in getting behind an ad-
jacent tree. In this position he would
have been fairly safe in any event, but as
it happened the animal made no further
attack, and finally ran off at top speed.
Luckily for Mr.. Gladstone the beasts
horns were turned in such a way that gor
ing was next to impossible, and the pre-
mier escaped uninjured. But naturally he
was alarmed and shaken. He drove out
later in the evening, however, apparently
none the worse for his adventure, and dur
ing the day attended church The COW was
shot by Mr.. Tom Bailey, of Hawarden. A
report to the effect that the cow had also
attacked another member of parliament
turns out to be incorrect. The person at
tackled was local resident.
1t was obvious that the above mentioned
COW was destined to become historic Ac-
cordingly an enterprising artist of The
Pail Mall Budget took an early train to
Hawarden. "Alasr' he writes, 'short as
the interval had been, the COW had already
been shot and picked. Arriving in Ha-
warden at dusk explored the one narrow
street that winds through the charming
old village in search of tavern, finally
pitching upon the Fox inn, as quaint and
old fashioned place, both inside and out,
as any Yankee tourist could desire. Satur-
day isn't the right day to land in Ha-
warden, for the limited accommodations of
Los Angeles herald., 1892-10-16

the taverns are tried by numbers of visitors
who run down from Chester and Liverpool
to attend service at the church where Mr..
Gladstone usually reads the lesson. Mr..
Bailey, who shot the beast, was not aware
at the time that it had attacked Mr.. Glad
stone-much to his subsequent SORROW
for not until it had been skinned and cut
up and sent to Chester did he learn from
the papers, with the rest of the village,
what treasure he had parted with"
He had been sent for to shoot the animal
because it was reported by the game
keeper in the park to be quite mad and
unapproachable, having during the day
knocked down and badly used up some one
crossing the park, this being the individual
who got into the newspaper accounts as
an M. P.
1t was nearly dark when the animal was
discovered lying in patch of tall ferns,
with only the top of it's head visible. A
bullet high in the forehead stunned it, and
then another behind the shoulder settled
it. 1t was hauled away, and butcher
who had purchased it from the owner,
Paul Jones, sent it up to Chester. AS
soon as Bailey discovered the inner facts
concerning the COW he made for Chester
post haste to secure the horns. which had
been promised him. He was SO lucky as
Los Angeles herald., 1892-10-16

to get the hide as WELL and with his booty
in bag he dropped into saloon.
There were couple of cattle dealers in
there at the time. When he told them
what he had one of them asked what he
would take for the hide. AS he had only
just given two guineas he said he would
take fiver. Done" said the other party
instantly, and he was minus the hoofs and
hide, it dawning upon him at that instant
what there might have been in the animal
as a speculation. While they were talk
ing another old party who had heard the
conversation slipped out, and running to
the butchers shop near by bought the jaw
bone and lower teeth. This was followed
by a general stampede, and in an incredibly
short time every pound of meat and bone
in that heifer had been bought and held
for speculation. Mr. Thompson, cattle
dealer living at DENLY, the purchaser of
the hide, bought out the others, and is now
the proud possessor of the hoofs, tail, skin
and the calf which the heifer left to inherit
her fame. He desired to have the animal
stuffed to send to the Worlds fair along
with her calf, but as no offer of filthy lucre
will induce Mr.. Bailey to part with the
horns and the skin Of the face it is proba-
BILE that the calf will be obliged to go with
out his mammals stuffed remains
Says visitor to the scene of the trouble:
Accompanied by Mr.. Herbert Gladstone
crossed bridge over the little stream
which for centuries has turned the wheels
of the historic old Glynne mill, and climb
ing the slope beyond came out upon an
open hilltop covered with high and dense
clumps of furze. The path here skirted
the furze on one side and the hill inclined
sharply on the other, the boughs of the
great oak behind which Mr.. Gladstone
took shelter nearly touching the ground
close by. There was deep swath tram
pied in the furze where the beast had lain
some four or five feet from the path.
"Mr. Gladstone explained that his father
shook his stick at the animal after look
ing at her a moment, when she jumped to
her feet with a snort and charged him be-
fore he could take step toward escaping
or defending himself. The ground just
here was of soft, rich mold, and it is to
this fact that the premier owes largely his
escape from injury through the shock of
his knockdown. All about were the deep
hoof marks of the mad creature, and frag-
ments of turf that it had dislodged lay
upon the path.
''It seemed a veritable miracle, looking
at the marks left of the scrimmage, that
the affair had the ending it did. The tree

TOM BAILEY.

In these later days every child is familiar
with the story of the "cow with the
erumpled horn" and the older children
and grown people know how the COW fig
ures in railroad history. Said the doubt
ing capitalists to Inventor Stephenson
"But suppose cow gets on the track in
front of this engine you want to build,
what will happen?"
"'Twull be mighty bad for the co.," he
responded in his broad northland dialect.
1t is, by the way, to a COW from the dis
trict which bred Stephenson that we owe
the practical immunity from smallpox
with which the present generation is
blessed The famous DIR. Jenner-he
wasn't famous then-noticed that the
milkmaids were contagion proof and in
quired the cause. The result was study
of cowpox, test of vaccination and con-
sequent triumph over one of the worlds
greatest pests.
Again, there is the famous Chicago COW
that lived ON the West Side, belonged to
Mrs. O'Leary and objected to being milked
after dark to the extent of kicking over
lamp. The great fire of Oct. 9-12, 1871, fol-
lowed, and the COW and her owner are as
secure of fame as the man who "fired the
Ephesian DOME"
The latest bovine to figure in permanent
history possibly meant no harm, but has
lost her life because she fooled with
prime minister. Near Hawarden, the resi-
dence of Mr.. Gladstone, lives farmer
named Paul Jones. At recent fair he
purchased COW, which proved to be a very
wild animal The beast escaped from it's
owners land and made its way into the
woods of Hawarden park. Mr.. and Mrs
Gladstone went for a drive in the park.
and in accordance with not unusual
practice Mr.. Gladstone alighted from the
carriage with the intention of walking
back, Mrs. Gladstone driving home alone
The premier, who was unattended, then
strolled along one of the carriage drives,
and had not proceeded far when he came
across the escaped COW, which was lying
quite near the roadway. Mr.. Gladstone
stopped to look at the animal, which sud
