the most important qualifications of the

back to an exhibition of skill in an Ohio

was a murder and a ross-roads lawyer
was retained for his reputed skill in crimi-

Once More the Polly.

The schooner Polly again bobs up Sc
renely-this time as a line Of battle Ship.
On Monday certain innocent papers pro
dnced this startling bit Of information
dated at Boothbay Harbor
1.-The American privateer schooner Poi
ly, during the war of 1872 carrying ~
guns, and built in 1904, is now harboring
here with a cargo Of granite for Boston. .
Bad grammar is responsible for most of
the blood in this story, a vivid imagination
has conjured up about forty of the guns.
The Polly wasn't much Of privateer, in
fact. She might, in gale of wind make
six knots an hour, but forty-two guns, if
they were any bigger than muskets, would
sink her. She is about as big as pollywog
and is now engaged in Juggling freights
along shore and furnishing new yarns for
fresh reporters. Bangor Daily News.

Railway Speed at Sea

Far back in the year 1894, Captain John
Ericsson, whom we all remember as the
builder of tile first ironclad 'tMonitor ;"
applied for patent on screw propeller
to be used in driving ships through the
water. Ten years later the secretary Of
the British Admiralty persuaded that
body to make trial Of the new machine
i'll the frigate ''Arrogant
The device was a success. The irigate
went faster than others Of her size using
sails alone; she could move about in the
water when there was no wind and when
other ships were motionless or at anch-
| OF; and although her speed, even with
the wind was but little increased and the
sailors growled at having the ships hold
filled up with ''tea- kettles and b'ilers,
they had to admit that she was safer in a
gale, and could 60 better than before.
Popular feeling was against the propeller,
however, and it was not until 1892 that il
was placed i'll the larger ships u war
| All great Inventions nave to tight then

and one tow boat valued at $4,000 were
wiped out Of existence. Tho gorge began
to move ut 9 o'clock this afternoon. Re-
peated cracks In the ice, each as loud NJ
musket shot. gave warning Of impending
danger, and the river men who have been
on the boats night and day since the
forming OF the gorge. were given warning
OF the impending danger. Twelve large
river packets and q number OF towboats
were fully exposed to the weight of tho
sea of ice which came grind ng down the
river at tho rate Of six miles an hour. All
were saved with the exception OF the tow
boat Mattheson. II was narrow escape
for some Of the packets, and some OF their
chains parted, but prompt action on tho
part Of their crews made good the damage
and all save tho Mattheson were saved
with the loss of nothing but tho paint on
their huils.
There was no salvation for the coal
barges, however. There was not Q cent
insurance on any OF the property de-
stroyed. Bridges werc shaken, hut m
capped without material injury. Ats p. rps
the ice is still floating down the river. but

decision which, IL sustained by the SUI
preme court, will deprive the city of from
100000 10 Sl50.0O0 which was intended for
o public library and other public charities.
He decidcd that tho Ballingall will Is void
and that tho Ballingall hotel and other
property, instead of going to the city,
shall go to the heirs. Tho city library
gets valuable lot, however, that clause
OF the will being sustained. The heirs
arc Mrs. Won Holtzschuherr, wife OF Count
Oscar Won Holtxschuhcrr, David Hodge
and Mrs. Martha Thomas. The latter
disappeared some years ago and nothing
Is known as to her whereabouts. She has
a son Bert, u years of nge, living In this
city, who will fall heir to her fortune.
There werc two clauses Of the will. the
eighth and ninth. which were attacked.
The first bequeathed to the library asso-
citation a valuable lot and 500 annually.
This is held valid by the Judge. The other
bequeathed the Ballingall hotel aud other
property to the city to be held In trust.
The city council appoints trustees, and
the accumulated proceeds were to go to q
sinking fund Of s.o.0O TO be used ss an

HONOLULU, Jan. s.-The Legislature will
meet again on the third inst. and IL Ii ex-
pectod that there will he definite move
to show tho policy of tho opposition In the
house. An extra night session was held
last week to complete the reading OF the
appropriation bill for the period ending
March 81, 1894. The work was finished as
far as the legislature is concerned and the
bill was forwarded TO the queen for her
signature. II was supposed she would
sign IL SO that the governments employees
could receive their salary for December,
but the bill yet remains unsigned and the
employees arc without pay. The queens
failure to sign the bill is thought to be .
forerunncr OF another political move in
which the complexion Of the cabinet Is TO
be again changed.
The lottery bill is expected to como up
for consideration next week. Homers 8

ton of fractional paper currency has been
killed. Opium license has been adopted

mated Mt S2,0D.0Oo per year. The total
footing of the budget for the period end

He soon after. however, relapsod Into .
stupor. Suddenly ut 5 o'clock this morn.
ing he opened his eyes, which were -
clear as ever, and seoinR tho physician,
exclaimed: doctor, am glad you
come" His tones OF voice were remarka-
bly, clear and strong for man almost In
the extremes. Five minutes later be
sank again into q stupor. and 10 minutes
later ho had another attack OF heart fail
urc. Strange to relate. he again rallied,
only to be scised third time, three hours
later.
Al midnight Blaine's physicians issued
the following bulletin: "Blainc's condi-
ton was moro favorable this afternoon.
He is now. at midnight, sleeping quietly
and shows fair degree Of strength. The
probabilities are no change for the worse
will take place tonight. although no posi-
tive assurance can be given on this point.
Az compared with last night and this
morning he Is better"
Both physicians will remain through the
night and the family will probably renew
their vigil Of last night, or at least remain
accessible at o moments call. In
view OF tho conflicting statements
which have been made concerning Blains's
religious sentiment. that Rev. I. 5. Ham
lin. pastor Of tho Presbyterian Church OF
the Covenant, was called to the bedside OF
the dying man, has moro than usual In
terest. At 6 o'clock this morning whom
the family feared Blaine was dying, Dr..
Hamlin went to the house by request and
prayed by Mr.. Blaine's bedside.
From the time of the issuance Of thc
midnight bulletin, no one has left or en-
tered the Blaine house, and every indica'
tion points to some hours Of tranquility.
