The efforts 10 Amerlcanize the United
States navy seem 10 be meeting with
success, and the proportion Of foreign
element in the naval service 70 be grow
ing less with. each succeeding year. On
several new cruisers. the commanding
officers boast of from 81 to 10 per cent.
of Americans in their crews. and il was
given out recently that one Of the large
vessels Of the new navy had 50 per
cent. of her crew native or naturalizad
Americans. IL is said that when the
American war ship Shenandoah sailed
some fifteen years ago from Boston fyr
Europe twenty-One different LANGUAGES
were spoken among the men forward.
The Shenandoah is believed 20 have had
q crew Of about 80. IL Is known that
the practice ship Constellation. in the
INST haif Of the eighties, carried in a
crew OF l75 not more than twenty-ohe
rative-bOrn or naturalized Americans.
When the American war ship Lancas-
ter was flagship Of the European sta

can sailors, taking their cue from the
familiar shop-window signs IN Aiediter-
rauean ports, reading "Ici on parle Fran
cafs." were accustomed 10 hang out on
a board on a line inclosing the two
guns a sign OF their own, which read:
american spoken here" So that there
could be no possible mistake. this sign
was translated into the various Ian
guages spoken aboard the Lancaster.

It's members must know that the dump
ing of garbage anywhere near the city
limits will be prohibited Just as soon as
an appeal is made TO the courts They
must know that such an an appeal will
be made just as soon as the warm weather
causes the garbage to ferment. No person
will permit himself and his family to be
poisoned by the vile eXhalations Of
garbage pit while he can appeal to the
law for protection. 1t is therefore useless
and silly to wait until such an appeal IS
made before taking any steps to burn the
garbage. y move should be made ut
once, and thus save the trouble and eX-
pense of a lawsuit. as well as the good
name OF the city and county. \ garbage
crematCry will not cost very much, and
even if it did, il will be found TO be an
absolute necessity before long, and it is
stupid to wait until valuable human lives
have been sacrificed before taking action.
Some years ago, when the garbage was
dumped near Park avenue, the whole
was scourged by diph-
liberia. In almost every family the dread
full disease made its appearance, and be-
fore il could he subdued between twenty
and thirty little children were lost. In
one family four out of five little ones
were lost, and in another two out of
three, until dread and despair reigned In
almost every household. But for several
weeks after the disease broke out the city
continued the dumping of the
garbage, and it was not until the drivers
of the wagons were confronted with re-
yolvers in the hands ofdesperate parents
that another dumping-place was found.

A SOLITARY EXILE
Yet He Has Travelled Twenty-Or
Thousand Miles.

Yet He Has Travelled Twenty-Ore
Thousand Miles.
There is a remarkable recluse on the
top floor of the big siX-story building 81
Gold street. For nine years he has not
left his quarters, OF gone down flight Of
stairs even. All his food is carried up to
him, and he rounds out the years in un-
eventful solitude.
The hermit is big gray horse, Il years
old, and weighing over 1900 pounds, and
he earns his keep by going ceaselessly
round and round tanbark ring pushing
sweep, and furnishing power for hoist
ing bales of leather to different floors.
Few busy New Workers know that
few years ago horsepower was almost
entirely used for hosting purposes in the
leather district popularity known as ''the
swamp" The story goes that a short
time back gentleman who lived at an
uptown hotel, and who was chiefly noted
Tor his conviviality, found himself by
some unaccountable means on Spruce
street at an early hour on Sunday
morning. Looking up at the sky, through
which the dawn was just breaking, he
saw, or thought he saw, a horse's head
projecting through an upper window of a
tall building, lie could hardly believe
there was horse there, and he looked
again and saw white equine head clearly
outlined against the sky. Thoroughly
alarmed as TO his condition, he hurried to
a cab, drove to his hotel, and hastily
rousing some friends who worshipped
Bacchus only to moderate degree, re-
turned with them to Spruce street. Much
to his relief, his friends too soon saw the
horses head, and the party returned up
town, one of them at least in much better
spirits than he came.
The horse at 81 Gold street is the only
remaining equine elevator in the swamp
Nine years ago he was hoisted to the top
floor, and every working day since then
he has earned his daily oats by walking
round and round his tan-bark ring. He
has never left the top floor, and he proba-
bly, never will till his body is taken
away for burial He hears the neighs
ana winnies of other horses far below
him i'll the busy streets, but he cannot
respond; he cannot rub noses with other
horses, and he has forgotten what 1t is
like to be turned out to pasture and feed
on fresh green grass.
His owners estimate that he travels
nine miles day on an average. Accord
ing to this estimate he has covered u 900
miles around his ring, and if he lasts
eight years more, as is expected, he will
at the end of his service have covered
10000 miles in round bers.-Harper's
Weekly.
