found hero almost any day playing
whist or talking over the old times.
Worden is, perhaps, the most con-
spicuous figure of the late war re-
manning in Washington today. Over
there in the corner is Admiral Hughes,
bluff and hearty old fellow, full of
"reminiscences and fun, who first sailed
in the grand old Constitution, ffty-three
years ago. He sailed all over the world
in the Constitution, which was at that
time the pride of the navy, and billet
aboard her was as eagerly sought by
officers as is assignment to the crack
cruisers of the white squadron in these
days. Admiral Hughes still retains an
affection for the Constitution, and every
summer he journeys to Portsmouth, N.
H., where the old ship lies in the navy
yard, that he may again walk the decks
which he proudly trod half century ago.
"There are, all told, on the retired list
Of the navy" continued the lieutenant,
"about 500 men. Perhaps one-third Of
these live in Washington, and majority
of them drop in here nearly every day.
1t seems to be impossible for many Of
these old salts to tear themselves away
from the capital, where there is gay So
ciety and congenial club life. OF thirty
seven rear admirals on the retired list
fully thirty live in or near Washington.
1t is interesting to note how long some
Of these old sea dogs have been in the
service Selfridge, as told you, started
as a MILDLY on New Years day, 1918. Ad-
miral Taylor and Admiral Leo entered
the service i'll 1925, Admiral Smith in
1926 and Admiral Green in 1927.
Another peculiar thing" concluded
the lieutenant, lis that this old hero of
the Monitor who sits before us has lived
long enough to see the naval construc-
ton of the world swing back to the very
type whose utility he so nobly demon
strated in Hampton Roads. The Moni-
tor of his day was an experiment, but its
success was so great that for time the
world was crazy after vessels built after
that model Subsequently naval con-
structors have tried everything else that
ingenuity could devise, wasting untold
millions of public money in their expert
ments. Today the best battle ships of
the world are built in greater or less
modification of the Yankee cheese
box. The low freeboard, the ramlike
bow and the heavily armored tur-
ret are features of nearly all the
great battle ships of modern construc-
ton. In our own new navy the Man
tonomoh, the Monadnock, the Amphi-
trite and the other double turreted
monitors are Use very highest class Of
coast defense battle ships of which we
can boast, and no nation can boast bet
ter And here sits the man with the
powder burned face who ushered in the
prototype thirty years ago and who has
lived to see naval construction revolu-
tionized twice over-go from the extreme
of wooden mcn-of-war to vast floating
fortresses of iron and steel, and then
swing back again to the immortal idea

A friend recently called attention TO Il
case which he thought subverted our
view that the ivy growing on walls
tended to make them dry rather than
damp. On looking at the case we find
that the wall was covered with the
Ampelopsis veitchii, or, rs it is called
Japan ivy, and that the vines had been
suffered to grow over the shingle roof OF
the house some four or five feet from
the gable end, and that the spouts aud
other water conduit We're completely
choked by this growth Of vine and fill
ing up with leaves.
Ii is no wonder that Il house should be
damp under such circumstances. II
should not be forgotten that the vines
on walls must never be allowed to reach
the roof or Chamber in the cutters, but
must be confined entirely to the vertical
surface of the walls on which they grow
The innumerable number Of small root
lets absorbing moisture continually gen.
orally make walls so dry and hard that
it has been found ut times in the Old
World, when necessary TO take down II
building, almost impossible to do SO on
account of the extreme hardness of the
mortar. which has been kept dry for 80
many years through the agency of these
roots. The case we have referred to
shows how often good idea may be
spoiled by reason of the thoughtless
manner in which the idea is carried out.

The Jews on tho MaIabar Coast.

The house of the British resident at

of Balghatty, in the midst of the lagoon,

native and the British town The most
curious thing in the former is the very
ancient Jewish settlement, which goes
back far beyond all authentic record,
and is in possession of deed engraved
on metal which may well be MS old AS

that is, than any existing manuscript of

Platt's Manifesto.

New YORK, June 3.-The Morn
ing Advertiser says: "The mani
festo Of Thomas G. Platt has created
a sensation among Republican poll
ticiaus. 1t is believed to be nothing
more than declaration of war by
the Blaine forces against the Harri,
son. The significant utterances OF
Platt Immediately after his return
from Washington causes the general
belief that the attack on Harrison
was inspired by Blaine. The inti-
mate knowledge of administration
affairs displayed in the manifesto
causes the impression that Blaine
supplied the information.
"Platt is noted for his consistent
policy of never talking for publica-
ton unless he has an object and is
sure that the ground underneath
him Is firm. The fact that Platt so
vigorously attempted to cut from
under the feet of Harrison every
claim for consideration at the hands
of the Republican party, is taken as
proof positive that he has assurance
from Blaine that he will accept the
nomination. Platts caution, which
is notable, would have otherwise
restrained him from placing him
self In a position which would cause
his retirement as leader if Mr..
Harrison should be nominated

TWO HUNDRED SHOTS.
The Messengers Done All They
Could.

GUTHRIE, o. r., June g. Details
of the robbery Of Wells, Fargo Il
Co.'S express car, on the Santa Fe
train, makes a story of unexampled
outlawry on the part Of the bandits
and brave resistance on the part of
the custodians of the company's
property. The robbers were at work
nearly one hour attempting to in
timidate the messengers into sub
mission, and during the battle be-
tween the messengers and the ban
dts fully 200 shots were fired, and
not a man was wounded. The rob
berry was doubtless committed by the
notorious Dalton gang, for whom
large rewards are still standing.
Two masked men jumped into
the engineers cab from the tender,
aud covering the engineer and fire
man, commanded them to run the
train to the stockyaros aud stop
there at given signal. The engi-
neer and fireman obeyed, as to have
resisted would mean death. When
the train stopped, the two robbers
were joined by five masked com
paniuns. The leader commanded
the engineer and fireman to walk
back to the express car and COM
manded the fireman to break open
he door f. G. Whittlesey, mes
senger, aud J. Fl. Reihl, guard, an
ticipsting what was going on, had
blown out the light, and refused to
allow anyone to enter. The bandits
opened fire upon the car from all
,ides, but the two men within re
-ponded promptly, aiming all shots
at the doors. The highwaymen shot
into the car from all quarters, firing,
however, to no effect, for the mes
sengers stood their ground. In the
meanwhile the robbers chopped "a
hole in the door large enough to
admit body, and the fireman was
told to crawl into the car. Thi-
placed him between two fires, and
Engineer Mack, seeing it meant
death to his companion, explained
the situation to the messengers and
told them to cease firing. The rob,
bers then entered the express car,
covered the inmates with a gun,
and with sledge and chisel broke
open two safes and robbed them of
everything valuable.
The robbers are described by pas
sengers as being well dressed and of
gentlemanly bearing. The leader
apologized to the engineer for a
rough remark made by one of his
men. The amount secured by the
robbers is unknown, as the express
company has made no statement.

Public Execution.

KALAMA, Wn., June 8. 3.-RObert
Thompson was hanged here today
in the court house yard for the muir
der of Thomas Clinton Beebe last
October. The execution was public
and was witnessed by about two
hundred people. Day walked to
the scaffold unsupported and
with firm step. After the reading
of the death warrant by Sheriff
Holmes, Day was asked if he
had anything TO say. He
replied he had, and spoke for ten
minutes, eviewing his life. He de-
MED the charge Of being a vicious
and desperate character, He spoke
in loud and distinct voice, without
tremnr, until he came to
speak of his wife and children
when he was visibly affected.
He recovered himself in a few
moments and was as firm rs at the
beginning. He expressed no regret
at the killing of Beebe who he said
had abused himself and family. At
11:l0 the sheriff sprung the trap and
Day was dropped six feet. Death
was instantaneous. After hanging
thirteen minutes the body was cut
down and given over for burial.
