Tinkering the War Ships.

The great cruiser New York that has
just been released from the ship yard of
the Cramps has been ordered to the navy
yard at Brooklyn to have defects of some
sort remedied. The story is that the
hoisting apparatus for proiectiles has
been found to be absolutely useless. The
apparatus was designed by the ordnance
bureau of the navy. The statement that
has appeared in print is that the defect
i've work will have to be removed and
replaced by appliances that will do the
work required.
The Secretary of the Navy is having a
good deal of trouble to get the vessels of
the new navy in working order. Some
thing appears to be the matter with about
all of them. The reports show they are
all right until they are needed, and then
it is discovered that they are not fit for
duty.
What is the matter with the ordnance
bureau anyway, that it cannot design a
hosting apparatus that will do the work
required of it? Is the bureau
loaded up with incompetent men?
If so it is about time the
head of the navy department was made
aware of the fact and took steps to re
place the incompetents with men who can
render efficient service. What's the
use of going ahead building cruisers and
and battleships and gunboats that are
found to be defective whenever ordered
to post of duty2 1t will be several
weeks probably before the New York will
be pronounced fit for service. In the
meantime the emergency for which she
was so urgently needed will have passed
away

Danger in the Public squars.

The killing Of the boy Barney Bluestein
I'm Liberty square the other day by an
electric car, calls attention strongly TO the
danger from tho cars there is i'm the use Of
the squares as Fairgrounds by children.
II has been suggested that the tracks
in the squares be fenced in, and also that
the cars be provided with guards that
would prevent persons from falling under
the wheels if struck and knocked down.
But would il not be wiser plan TO pro
hibit the boys and girls from using the
squares as Fairgrounds II is all
well enough for little children
attended by nurses to visit
the squares and play on
the grass because they do no harm, but
well-grown boys and girls playing games
of one kind and another trample the grass
and make it about impossible to keep the
squares in presentable condition.
The city is spending thousands of dol
lars year upon the squares and great
improvement has been made in them, but
much Of their beauty is destroyed by per-
hitting them to be used as Fairgrounds
There are plenty of places for the boys to
play without using the squares Tor
that purpose. If the city council
would take hold of this matter
and decide that the boys and girls should
not use the squares for their games the
squares would be made prettier than
they are and there would be no such ac-
cidents as that which occurred in Liberty
square the other day. 1t does seem
little remarkabl that the city will go on
spending money improving and cleaning
up the squares and yet will take no steps
to preserve the improvements. The idea
that because the boys have always made
Fairgrounds of the squares they ought
still to have that privilege is hard to get
rid Of Eventually, however, public sen
timent viii insist upon some such rules
for the preservation of the squares as
prevail in most other cities that take
pride in having beautiful parks and
streets.

A heart-sicl1 traveller in this vale of
tears stood on Pier IL, East river New
York, at $3.50 Sunday night He was
weary of the pleasures of life; there was
no new sensation for him to experience
except death-so he thought-so he de-
termined to die. He gazed for a moment
at the beaming moon, swept farewell
glance at the earth, shut his eyes and
dropped head-6rst into the dark waters.
The New York Tribune concludes the
story; He struggled for a few mo
ments in the water in conscientious en-
deavor to drown himself Then, with a
look of absolute disgust on his face. he
swan back and climbed up on the pier.
He put on his coat and hat with chatter
ING teeth, only remarking to a policeman
who stood near watching him, as he set off
at brisk pace up South street: Gee

Apple Song.

o the sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples;
And the apples, hanging mellow
Red and yellow,
All down the orchard seen
Make glory in the green.
She sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples;
And the hollow barrels wait
BY the gate.
The cider presses drip
With nectar for the lip
The sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples;
And the yellow mlles Of grain
Forget the rain.
The happy gardens yet
The winters light forget.
The sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples.
Ger the marsh the cattle spread,
White and red.

AS gentian in the dew.
The sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples;
And the naples are ablaZe
Through the haze.

Fife the fruiting song of earth

Kissed the apples.
Now with flocking call and stir
Birds confer,
AS if their hearts were crost
By fear of coming frost.

Kissed the apples;
And the harvest air is sweet
On the wheat
Delight is not for long

The Briggs controversy has had the
effect of lessening the number of students
applying for admission to the Union Theo-
logical Seminary for the term beginning
last Wednesday. The number of applica-
tions is about twenty less than the num-
Der admitted last year. The secretary
of the seminary says the decrease is a
matter of no consequence-that what the
seminary wants is quality, not quantity.
1t is inferred that the standard
of scholarship is higher this year than
last.

How Senator Stewart Fights.


Senator Stewart Is very loud in his charges
OF corruption until somebody demands the
facts. Yesterday he compared the President
10 Charles l., who trampled on the peoples
rights and nullihed the laws. When he was
rebuked for the discouTtesy Of his remarks,
he said; Let the Presidents friends deny
that he has used patronage to control leSisla-
ton.' But when Mr. Palmer SAID: "Will
the senator himself indicate single instance
in which the President has employed his pat
mage to control a senator or a member OF
the House, senator Stewart roared as
gently as a sucking dove: Il decline to be in
terrupted by such questions. "

When it reached an altitude of
five hundred feet it was caught by

When about three miles from the

her up, but she was in terribly
exhausted condition. Although
much shaken up, she announced
her intention of continuing her, as
