Take courage, my lad. What if
you are but a humble, obscure ap-
prentice poor, neglected orphan
"a scoff and a by-word for the
thoughtless and gay, who despise
virtue in rags. because of its tatters2
Have you an intelligent mind un-
tutored though it be? Have you a
virtuous aim, pure desire, and an
honest heart? Depend upon 1t, some
of these days you will be wanted,
The time may be long deferred
you may be grown into manhood,
and you may even reach your prime
ere the call is made; but virtuous
aims, pure desires, and honest hearts
are too few not to be wanted. Your
virtue shall not always hide you as
a mantle-obscurity shall not al
ways veil you from the multitude.
Be chivalric in your combat with
circumstances. Be active, however
small your sphere of action. 1t will
surely enlarge with every moment,
and you will have continued in

HOW Our Ships Are Named.

The system of nomenclature in
the United States Navy is very
simple. The great ships are
named after States, and the first
class cruisers after large cities. The
latter are represented by the Phila-
delphia, the Chicago, the Newark,
the Atlanta, the Baltimore and the
San Francisco. The gunboats are
christened after smaller towns,
where celebrated battles have been
fought. The Bennington and the
Concord are the instances of the
naming of this class of vessels.

II TROUBLE

Secretary Of State UTTER, OF Rhode
Island, discussing the political situation
10 that State, remarked to a New York
Times correspondent:
The most dangerous element in our cleo
tive system is the mau who has acquired a
Compstence or who is so thoroughly en-
wrapped In business as TO be Indifferent 70
the responsibilities OF the elective fran
chisc and 90 the political abuses going on
al, around Us. IL is EOt only almost lmpOs-
sible to persuade this class Of men 70 so 70
the registry place, but next to impossible
20 induce them to got0 the polls on election
day.
Mr.. UrrEE hits the political nail
souaroly on the head and drives it
home.
II every voter would express himself
at the polls there would be no difficulty
in any State in reforming abuses that
are apparent to the majority.
Rhode Island and Connecticut have
long been trying TO get rid Of political
absurdities in their constitutions; the
great States Of New York and Pennsyl-
vania have been striving for a longer
period to rid themselves of "bOss" rule.
It is not TO be supposed that the ma
jority in these States does not see the
evils and appreciate the necessity for
reform. That would be a sad reflection
On popular intelligence. Then why don't
they eufore reformP Simply because
the average business man hasn't time
20 monkey with politics." During a
resiaential.campaign, when business is
unsettled and the whole country ex-
cited by orators. brass bands and parades
he will exhibit some interest and come
out Of his shell and vote, which
is a fortunate thing for our
national welfare. But in elections in
his own State, even in his own city,
which most directly and personally in
terest him, he will take little or nc In
terest az all, giving his Own private
business affairs the preference every
time over his public duty as a citizen.
Tax him with his negligence and he
will tell you, "Oh. politics is a wretchsd
business. Both sides are alike! My
vote would make no difference"
But who is responsible for this cOndi-
ton but himself?
Everywhere in the United States the
government is In the hands Of the peo-
pie. II the governments Of Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York and
Pennsylvania are in a bad way no n
is TO blame but the intelligent majority,
which is so wrapped % IL It's i ividual,

THEY Will REBUILD.
CALDWELL & PETERSON TO ERECT A FOUR
STORY BUILDING
On the Site Of the Plant Recently Destroyed By
Firs-The Deal For One Hundred Acres
in Bridgeport Fails.

Some time ago the REGISTER pub
lished exclusively the fact that the firm
of Caldwell s. Peterson, of this city,
was negotiating for the purchase OF the
Bridenstein property, comprising near
ly 100 acres, in the vicinity Of the Etna
and Standard mills. Several confer
ences were held after the publication,
but all proved fruitless, as the parties
failed to agree upon the price. Had
the deal been c-onsummated, MessrS.
Caldwell and Peterson would have re-
moved their larger plant to Bridgeport,
where they would have had better IA
~cilieies for securing the metal required
for their line of manufacture. 1t Is
understood that 500, 600 is the price at
which the property was held.
The failure TO secure the property has
neceSsitated a change of plans on the
part OF the firm, and it has been de-
cided to erect a large four-story build
ing on the site Of the plant recently
destroyed by fire. An architect is now
at work upon the plans. The building
will be OF brick, the dimensions 67x19O
feet. Some idea of its size may be
formed when it is stated that the
dimensions are about the same az
the Baer grocery building The south
wall will extend some feet over the
creek, as far as the B. q o. bridge
pier, and it will be necessary to con-
suruct a retainiAg wall, at a cost OF
about $1,000. The plant will be equipped
with the latest improved machinery,
and the former capacity will be con-
siderably increased. The firm will also
try TO secure a Z. 81 o. switch across
the creek, into the rear part OF the
building. The roofing department will
be continued near sthe Htna-Standard
mill, between Bridgeport and Atna-
vile.
The success Of the firm Of Caldwell &
Peterson is an example Of what can be
accomplished by energy and enterprise.
The firm started modestly about six
years ago, occupying but one room in
the building recently destroyed by ire,
and employing but five hands. The
metal roofing, which was manufactured
exclusively at that time, found a ready
sale, and the capacity Of the plant
was steadily increased. Later the
firm engaged In the manu-
facture Of the metal ceiling, which
now has a reputation as wide as the
continent. The force of workmen was
increased, and soon the entire building
was in use.
At present SO hands are employed
in the temporary structure on South
street, and the firm is unable to keep
I'D with it's orders. When the new
building Is finished and the plant in
operation, upwards OF 125 men will be
employed. Work upon the founda-
ton cannot. be started until there is a
low stage OF water in the creek.

R POLITICAL AFFAIRS.

jority in Favor of the Army Bill.
BERLIN, May 2O.-Though 1t would
still be rash and premature to attempt
to predict the fate Of the diverse groups
at the coming elections for members OF
the Reichstag, it can safely be said that
IL the Government will offer a slight
concession In the army bill regarding
the the two years service with the
hope it will get a majority In the next
house to support the bill. As the con-
testants range themselves for the APP
preaching battle. it becomes evil
dent that the split in the Freisslnge
party is widening, and a larger faction
of that political group than was 1rst
expected will be sent toward the side OF
the government. A somewhat similar
condition of affairs exists in the Centre
party. In the absence of any authorized
party manifesto many staunch Center
lists celebrates will not bind their can
didates to vote against the army bill.
The representatives Of the party In
these districts will be left 4 free choice
as to their attitude TO the bill, and this,
In most cases, will mean that the sue
cessful candidates will support the gov
eminent. Another factor promising
well for the government is the growing
tendency of the National Liberals TO act
in concert with the moderate section Of
the Freissinige party.
A notable feature Of the situation Is
the conservative agitation against Chan
celior Won Caprivi. While supporting
the army bill the Conservative papers
support any candidate who gives his
assent to protectionism, bi-metallism
and anti-semitism. Conservative can
didates proclaim that the Chancellor's
commercial policy is running the en-
pire and they demand that he be re-
placed by a man who is better versod
in economic and financial questions.

the Chinese Minister, attended by the
official interpreter Of the legation,

they were Immediately shown TO the

tation ensued, lasting nearly half an
hour.
When Secretary Gresham was asked
for Information upon the subject, he
said that of course he could not repeat
what passed between the Chinese min
ter and himself, but that he did feel
that he could say that there was now
mo reason TO fear any trouble or out
break either in the United States or
tn China, growing out OF the Chinese
law.
From this statement by Secretary
Gresham ii may be inferred that the
Minister has set at rest any doubts be
NAV have entertained as TO formal re-
taliaion by China, or the danger OF
layle.s outbreaks and mob violence
directed against the American mission
aries ard other American residents Ia
China. Later In the day Chief Justice
Fuller, Of the United States Supreme
Court, who has shown much interest in
the legal aspect Of the present Chinese
situatioul had an interview with Secre-
tary Gresham.
Secretary Carlisle said to-day that be
would enforce the law as to deporting

sal would permit. He intends TO begin
