The Navy Department 10 determined to en-
courage the naval militia In the different states
that have shown sufficient interest in this i'm
portant branch OF the defensive service to pass
tho necessary laws to warrant the extension Of
federal aid. Today an order was made trans
ferring the old monitor Nantucket to the naval
militia Of North Carolina. The monitor is vet
eran Of the war, and was under heavy Are at
the bombardment Of Charleston defenses. She
is now at the New York navy yard, and as soon
few repairs are made she will be sent to
Wilmington and be turned over to the North
Carolina state authorities
The Massachusetts, naval militia officials have
applied 70 the Navy Department to have ex-
tensive repairs made upon the monitor Passaic,
which was placed at the disposal Of the state
for naval militia purposes, but the department
has informed them that it has no fund avail
able for the repairs. which can, however, be
made by the Navy Department il the state Of
Massachusetts, pays the expenses.
A complete equipment of text books,
pamphlets and instructions is now being pre-
pared at the department for shipment to
Michigan. which state has recently passed a
law providing for the organization OF naval
militia, to the great qualification Of the naval
authorities, who have long desired better
element Of naval protection Of the exposed
northern frontier Of the United States.

SPEED OF ELECTRIC cans.
The following letter from Mr.. A. S. Cay
wood relative to the speed OF care on New York
avenue was received by the Commissioners to-
day:
I beg to call your attention to the very high
rate Of speed of the electric cars on New York
avenue from LIST to 4th streets northwest. When
they leave LIST street there In q down
grade to 4th street. and between these
two points they cross NJ street, New Jersey
| avenue and Sd street which intersect New York
avenue at that point The car runs at such a
rate OF speed that ii is often 200 or more feet
before they can stop for passengers to get on,
and At the junction Of these streets
have mentioned it is very danger
GUS for both teams and people walking
think this matter should have immediate at
tention, it is very hard to stop the car on the
down grade when ii is running at any ordinary
rate Of speed, and still harder when il runs at
the rate OF a mile a minute. I understand that
there WAS gentleman run over there vodny
and very badly injured, if not killed. live on
the side OF this grade. between the two points
and this is continued after dark up TO mid,
night, and il seems as il they run faster then
than during the daytime, which is still more dan
gerous. The jumping Of the cars from the high
rate Of speed jars buildings and dwellings a
hundred feet from the street. This has been
attributed to the bad track, but think il due
more to the high rate Of speed than 20 the
track. BY giving this matter your immediate
attention you will greatly oblige

Miss Fletcher Who Studies Anthropology
Among the Indians.
A woman of rare genius and modesty
is Alice G. Fletcher, the only woman
ever honored with afe1lowship by Har-
yard university. Miss Fletcher is regu-
larly attached to the Peabody museum
of archaeology and ethnology at Har-
ward and has for many years devoted
herself to the study of the Indian race in
America. She has done great deal of
original investigation and made many
long visits to the Sioux, Winnebago, Nez
Perce and other tribes, living in their
camps and studying their language, Gus
toms, music, traditions and philosophy.
1t is probably within bounds to say that
there is no other person on earth whose
knowledge of the subject equals hers.
But Miss Fletcher's work among the
Indians has d benevolent as well as sci
entific side. She is as much interest
ed in the improvement of their condi-
ton as in the study of their peculiari-
ties. The Indians regard her as their
friend and treat her with respect APP

Charles G. Davis, senior member Of
the firm of Charles G., Davis 6 Co. of
New Brunswick, N. j., manufacturers of
the famous Payson Tucker cigars, is in
town for few days looking after the in
terests of his house. In speaking of the
house he said: "When starting the
brand of Payson Tucker cigars we used
what we believed at that time to be the
tobacco most desired by Eastern smok-
ers. We learned, however, in short
time, that in order to be able to supplant
the old established brands of cigars we
would be not only obliged to make SUI
perior cigar but to make one far superior
to any now on the market. This we
have done by using exclusively the to-
bacco from The celebrated Vuelta Abajo
district of Cuba, acknowledged by all
good judges to be the finest tobacco
grown on the globe. We challenge any
mandatory to produce superior cigar
to the 'Payson Tucker as it is made
since the beginning of 1898. If you will
smoke 'Payson Tucker we know you
will agree with us.

Miss Fletcher was sent to Alaska by
Commissioner Eaton in 1885 to investi-
gate the educational needs of the Indi-

the subject was of such merit as to be-
come classic in its line and ran through
several editions. Its usefulness has not
yet ceased, and it is still considered gu

said to radiate from the national capital,

time insure himself many gratuitous adj

that rhymes to one of the many words
in common use that have very few

The reform of the passport system is
about to be undertaken in Russia. At
present nobody can change his dwelling
even in the same street without sending
bis passport twice to be vised by the po-
lice-hrst on quitting the old house and
secondly on entering the new one. This
is aggravated by the slowness of the Rus

Hil:..g Hand Organs.

The music OF the great Italian COM
poser, Verdi, enjoys a high degree of
popularity. One form which its popu-
larity takes is it's frequent application to
hand organs and piano organs, which
grind upon Verdi's music until the COM
poser himself is almost compelled to re-
gret that he ever wrote it.
One summer not many years ago Verdi
went for season Of rest to the noun
tain resort of Montecaliere. Here a
friend called upon him and noticed be-
fore he entered that Verdi had taken a
rather pretentious apartment.
But when he entered the house he was
astonished to find that the composer was
using single room of the flat" as sit
ting room, dining room and bedroom.
The visitors looks expressed his sur
prise at this arrangement.
''Oh," said Verdi, 81 have two more
large rooms here, but they are just now
occupied with some objects which have
hired for the season"
He opened the doors of these rooms
and revealed to the visitor great pile
of hand organs-apparently 100 of them
at least.
1'These organs" said Verdi, contain
in their repertories music Of my own.
wanted rest here, but when I arrived it
seemed as if all the hand organs in Italy
had come before me. They came under
my windows in the morning and played
a hideous cacophony Of 'Rigoletto, 'Tro-
vatore' and 'Traviata.' So hired all
these organs for the season, and all that
were likely to find their way here. and
here I have them all nicely piled up.
Oh, can take some rest noww-Youth's

PALESTINE TODAY.
Her Condition Described by Young Man
from East of Lebanon.

Last evening the congregation at High
street church had the pleasure of listen
ing to young man, Mr.. Sayyidah, from
Eastern Palestine. He is now student
in Bangor Theological seminary, and he
told his hearers that he had not before
since coming to this country appeared
before an audience in his native costume.
A very pretty costume it was, with dark
trousers, cut in the baggy, Turkish style
and secured by a bright belt at the waist,
and short Jacket. Mr.. Sayyidah speaks
very good English indeed, and his de-
scription of his land and it's people was
interesting. He sketched briefly the
physical characteristics and history of
the country. Although Palestine has
been under many masters, and is now
under the Turk, worst of all, yet many
OF the customs are the same as in the
days of Sarah and Rachael The birth
of boy in family is an occasion of
great rejoicing, there being many con
CALCULATIONS and much noise of cymbals.
On the other hand the birth of girl is
considered very unimportant event, or
even misfortunate. Barrenness is con-
sidered reproach. The boys are edu-
Gated as we'll as the facilities of the
country will allow, while the girls are
kept rigidly secluded at home. Mr..
Sayyidah said that in his native place
there were but two educated women, his
sister being one of them. The women
go closely yelled, and marriages are ar
ranged without the groom previously
seeing his bride. In religious matters,
the women are not given the privileges
| in the Mosques that the men have, relig
| ion being considered something for men
alone Mr.. Sayyidah said that from
what he had seen in the congregations in
that religion here was chiefly for women.
He thought that neither idea was
right.
| The missionaries are doing their work
by means of education. They have the
Syrian Protestant college where youth
of both sexes are educated on equal
terms. This education is breaking down
the barriers of sect and custom. The
people are very bigoted, as Mr.. Sayyidah
| illustrated from his own experience. His
father and mother, both illiterate, but of
good sense. determined that their son
Should be educated and sent him to the
Protestant college at Bevreut. although
| all the neiohbors protested that the COL
lege was nest of heretics. The first
term Mr.. Sayyidab stndied Enoiish and

gathered to ascertain what he had
| learned. He told them that he had
learned that the earth was round. that h
