Septimus Winner, another very popu-
lar song writer, was born in Philadelphia
in 1927 and began his musical career as
teacher of instrumental music and in
preparing the well known instruction
books. He gives the following interest
ing account of his most popular song:
About this time there was a street character
In Philadelphia known as Whistling Dick, an
accomplishment in which he excelled, really
making some beautiful music, to which he
Btrummed an Indifferent accompaniment on
the guitar. One of his specialties was the i'm
itation of a knocking bird, which suggested to
me the composition of a ballad of that charac-
ter, and Listen to the Mocking Bird" was the
result. 1t was written to suit the small COM
pass OF Dicks whistle, to whom taught it. and
this whistling genius did much to start the song
On Its successful career. The song won its
greatest popularity in the southern states,
where it was taken up by the colored people
and sung far and, wide. There are numerous
young ladies in the United States today bear
ing the name Of Halle" which was first used
In this ballad. AS the song was first published
In the year 1855, it will be seen that it is now
nearly 40 years old.
He also wrote e'What Is Home With
put a Motherp' GLOW Sweet Are the
Roses, ''I'll Sail the Seas Over" tTen
Little Injuns' and many others, and yet
for all his songs he has received less than
$4,000. Of the song writers very few
possess any knowledge of musical nota-
ton; hence the writer often gets very
poor pay, but Will S. Hayes has never
got less than 500 for a song, and often
much more. Other song writers are

According to the Hawaiian custom Of
tracing rank by the mothers side, Prince
Albert is a grand nephew of the old orig
inal Kamehameha, but he claims to be
even more directly descended from the
old king, alleging that he is son Of
Kamehameha III and not Of his mothers
legitimate husband. He is said to exhibit
with much pride picture of himself as
an infant in the arms of the queen Of his
putative father and claims that this
showed desire on the part of her mai
esty, who had no children of her own,
to recognize her husbands nAtwsal son.

elected Lunalilo, a chief of another
house, who reigned but year and was
succeeded by Kalakaua, who was also
elected by the legislature in spite of the
general wish Of Hawaiians to have Queen
Emma for their monarch. Kamehameha
V is said to have accorded Prince Albert
all the consideration due his rank as q
prince of the blood, and he was en-
ployed in the Hawaiian foreign Office
during that monarch's incumbency. Luz
nalilo, however, showed him no courtesy,
and Kalakaua declined to favor scions
of the Kamehameha blood.
The prince is one Of the handsomest
men in Honolulu. He is well educated
and has Travelled in the United States
and Europe. He has lately erected a
beautiful mansion for. himself in the
outskirts of Hawaii's capital.

SWIFT DESTROYERS.
Fascinating Figures on the Newest

How Our New Navy Has Been Built Up.
The Detroit Is Pleasing surprise-.Ar-
gentina's Crack Cruiser. the Nueve de
Julio, Eclipses All Records.
The recent growth of the United States
navy is justly a matter Of pride and joy
to all of us, and since the recent oppor-
tunity for comparison with other nations
in New York harbor-our pleasure is
by no means lessened. At the great naval
review the Argentine Republic rather as
tonished the rest Of mankind by appear
ing with cruiser that can make 23s
knots an hour and is therefore claimed
to be the fastest afoat. The United
States, however, held her own hand
somely in the general exhibit, but for a
full appreciation Of the comparisons to
follow few words of history must be
prefaced.
When the civil war was officially de-
clared at an end, the government had 469
vessels, Of which 191 were originally
merchant vessels and were soon restored
to that service. Many others were sold
and reftted for the merchant service,
and so rapid was the decay as well as
the change in naval warfare that nearly
all the others were soon reduced to the
value of old junk. In truth, the navy
was got rid of only little less rapidly
than the army, and all at once the ceun-
try woke up to the fact that it was prac-
tlcally without a modern navy.

THE NUEvE DE JULIO,

In 1881 a naval advisory board was
created, which reported that for proper
defense in time Of war this nation abso-
lutely needed 81 armored vessels, 70 I'M
armored cruisers, 5 rams, 5 torpedo gun
boats and 20 torpedo boats. On March
8, 1888, the act was passed ordering three
cruisers and one dispatch boat. The
contract was awarded to John Roach &
Sons, and so the reconstruction of the
navy began. These three cruisers were
the Boston, Atlanta and Chicago, and
the greatest speed averaged by any of
them was ISL knots.
Secretary Whitney then took control
in the Cleveland administration and was
confronted at the start with the fact
that complete revolution had taken
place even while the Roach vessels were
being finished. Compound engines had
given place to twin screws, and twin
screws were fast giving place to triple
expansion engines. The first result was
the Newark, built by the Cramps at a
cost of 81 ,248,0o0, with triple expansion
engines which maintained 1911 knots per
hour for four hours. Then came the
Baltimore, at cost of 1895, 900, with
engines which outdid those Of the New
ark by very slight fraction And so
the improvement went on till the San
Francisco was put afoat with horse
power Of 10,400 and speed of 20.17
knots. And now we are promised three
more at an early date which will main
tain speed Of 81 knots for some hours,
and after that still further advances.
In the meantime, here is the Nueve de
Julio, which can go at the rate of 23a
knots per hour and slipped across the
Atlantic SO quietly that her arrival at
New York was q complete surprise.
Though an Argentine ship, she is Eng
lish built and came fresh from the IA
nous yards of Sir William Armstrong,
Mitchell & Co., Newcastle. Her name
means 9th Of July, which is independ-
ence day to the Argentines. She went
first to the Azores, and her trip thence
to New York eclipsed, for continuous
run, the best showing of the fastest At
lantic liners. No other cruiser in the
world can compare with her on long
run, but Italy and Spain have gunboats
WHICH, Call OutOO LEE LOT a SQOTG DISTANCE.
Sheis large steel unprotected cruiser,
driven by triple expansion engines which
revolve twin screws. The speed guaran-
teed by her builders was 227 knots. She
has $500 tons displacement, a horse
power of 14,500 and carries 10 long and
"a quick firing guns. At first view it
seems incredible that such bulk on SO
yielding surface as that Of salt water
could go at almost the average speed of
passenger train, but what is seen must
be believed.
About the time of the Nueve de Julio's
arrival the new United States cruiser
Detroit made her trial trip in front of
New London, Conn, and was at once
pronounced tho fastest in the world of
her class. Her contractors, the Column
bian Iron Works and Drydock company
of Baltimore, had guaranteed II knots
per hour, and she made nearly 10, SO
they will receive a premium of about
$500, 900, the largest ever paid by any
government on the completion of vessel.

Americans should Learn This Art.

The Indians on the Missouri river tread
water just as the dog treads it. Among
the natives Of Joanna, an island on the
coast of Madagascar, young persons
walk the water, carrying fruit and vege-
tables to ships becalmed or, it may be,
lying in the ofing miles away. At Ma
dras, watching their opportunity, mes
sengers, with letters secured in an oil
skin cap, plunge into the boiling surf
and make their way to the vessels out
side, treading the water through sea in
which no ordinary boat could live. AT
the cape of Good Hope men used to pro-
coed to the vessel in the off1ng through
mountain pillows, treading the water as
they went with the utmost security.

the hottest and most famous of the few
