 young man, living home, he often would
 get up in his sleep and go about the house calling loudly for some one. At last his mother cured him by taking q sheet, wetting it in water and placing 1t on the mat beside his bed where he slept. When he got out of bed he would step On l the cold sheet and wake up.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
The ConstitutionalIty of Governors Ap-
poIntmenr Under Certain Conditions.


polntment Under Certain Conditions.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 26.-The
indications are that this week the Sen
ate will undertake the discussion aud
perhaps the decision Of one of the i'm
portant constitutional questions that has
arisen in that body in late years, name
ly: The right of Governor Of State
70 fill a vacancy in the United States
Senate which occurred while the Legis-
lature was In session.
The reports Of the two factions OF the
committee will be presented tomorrow,
and as the disposition is, when once
these cases are before the Senate, TO
push them TO conclusion as rapidly as
is consistent with the proper expression
OF the views OF all Senators who have
examined the questions involved and
desire TO make their sentiments known.
IL is probable that instead Of taking a
three days recess, the Senate will sit
almost daily.
The unknown quantity In the calcula-
tion OF the weeks work is the disposi-
tion OF the leaders on either side touch
ing the matter Of reOrganiz zttion. II is
expected that the Democrats through
Mr. German will present caucus nomi-
nations for Senatorial offices early in
week, probably in executive session,
and, il a serious controversy threatens
70 follow, the matter may be brought
before the public through proceedings
In omen session.

WASHINGTON. March 26.--The ques-
tIon OF sheathlng our naval vessels Is
one TO which Secretary Herbert, II 10
said. propose 10 give some earnest con-
sideration.
Naval Constructor Hltchborn has pre-
pared some important data on the sub
ject. He shows that the Atlanta on her
trial trip, with a clean bottom, attained
a speed OF 1876 knots an hour, with 3, 3f5
horse power, while the Boston, her eI-
act duplicate, with a com mparatively foul
bottom, made but 1873 knots on 3.7SO
horse power.
Constructor HIcbborn holds that the
Importance Of the preservation OF the
bottoms OF steel vessels from corrOsion
and foUling can hardly be over-esti-
mated, and is continually emphasized
by the reports Of loss Of speed and In
creased coal consumption received from
our new unsheathed steel vessels now In
commission.
Adyices received by the Bureau OF
Construction from abroad, show that
France, England, Italy, Russia and
Germany favor sheathing OF naval yeS-
sells, and do so extensively.
Captain Hichborn recommends that
all cruising vessels intended for general
service in foreign waters be sheathed, II
above ! 600 tons displacement, and that
vessels OF less than 1000 tons dIsplace-
ment intended for general service as
cruising gunbosts, etc, be OF q com
position construction with steel fran
ing, wood outside, plsDking and copper
sheathing.

hood Held at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, March 26.-An i'm
portant meeting OF the United Brother
hood OF Switchmen was held here this
afternoon, behind closed doors and only
known and accredited representatives
OF the order we're admitted.
The meeting was in session four hours
and all information Ia regard to its
proceedings was refused. Nevertheless
a slight general idea Of the business
that came before the meeting was
learned. The purpose of the meeting
was 10 discuss the question OF a strike
upon the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
the roads entering Chicago during the
Worlds Fair, or just prior 10 its opening.
Delegates were present from various
points along the line Of the Pennsylva-
MIA and from the local branches Of the
Brotherhood in Chicago. A number Of
letters were read, and the general SEN
timent was against strike. The
feelings of the switchmen at the
meeting, however, were somewhat
more pronounced than those OF the
writer's OF the letters, and strong
sentiment seemed to prevail in favor OF
taking advantage Of the coming rush OF
business on the railroad lines 70 state

Causing a COmmotion at Middletown,

MTDDLETowN, o., March 26.-Some
years ago plat of ground just south
of the lower end of Fifth street
was used as burial ground, but for
years has been abandoned, and at
almost every rise in the Miami
river this graveyard is gradually being
washed away, and it is no uncommon
thing during low water 10 pass along

posed TO the view, rain and sun. While
many have long since removed the re-
mains Of friends TO the new cemeteries,
numbers are still sleeping in unmarked
graves, only to await the ravageS Of
Old Miamis waters and the blowing Of
Gabrel's horn TO call them forth.
But Of late tits Of the CHASTITY ghost
that seems to hold nightly revels In and
about this deserted home of the dead.
and Of late his ghostship has appeared
10 many prominent citizens residing on
Fifth and adjacent streets, and many
stories are told and explanations offered
as to who, what and from whence it
comes and whittier it goeth. AT first it
appeared TO Mrs. Storms in the shape
Of large black horse, but on her at
tempting TO approach, it glided over the
ground as il on wings, and soon vanished
in a mist.
The next night Mrs. Kaufman,
Mrs. Kreiger and another lady
residing in that vicinity were
startled by the appearance Of the same
apparitlon, but on this occasion the
supernatural being approached them
until within a certain distance and then
vanished into thin air, followed by a
faint cry at first, but which finally grew
lounder until it ended In loud wall Of
apparent anguish. To say that those
ladies were frightened would be putting
it quite mild. Others claim 10 have
seen his ghostship, but that IL would
depart without making the slightest
sound. Excitement is running quite
high in that part Of the city, and now
organized parties are nightly watching
and waiting for its visits.

PHILADELPHIA PA, March 20
With the proud distinction OF having
broken the secord OF all preliminary
trials, and the satisfaction OF being the
fastest armored vessel in the world, the
cruiser New York returned 10 Cramps
ship yards this morning. From the
hour she steamed down the Delaware
until her arrival to-day. the naval ex-
perts have awaited with deep interest
the result Of the great war ships initial
performance.
Despite heavy rain squalls and BIT
ing wind from the southeast, fully five
thousand patriotic Philadelphians were
present to wish the warship Godspeed
as she backed out into the stream and
stood down the river on her trial trip.
The maximum pressure OF steam car
red was one hundred and twenty
pounds 10 the square inch. Starting
with forty-fve revolutions, q speed OF
ten knots was attained and held u0tll
Greenwich Point was we'll abaft the
beam. After this the new vessel SEEM
ed TO warm up TO her work, the throttle
was thrown open, nInety-hve reVolu-
tions reached and the speed Increased
to I7.5 knots. The vessel seemed 20
glide through the water as noiselessly
as yacht, however, and there was
scarcely any vibration throug hout the
ship.
The race was TO be between Five
Fathom Bank Lightshlp and the North
east End Lightship, distance OF 9.SS
nautical miles, the depth Of water being
l2 fathoms.
The following table tells the story OF
the two trials:

erage for the two trials 1895 miles.
In the afternoon the cruiser was
headed 20 the eastward In search OF
deeper water. In run OF four consec-

2O.3s knots per hour, reaching as high
as 2O57 as the water deepened
With these satisfactory results the
New York anchored for the night and
steamed up to the ship yard this morn

AZ WOMAN's NERVE.
She walks Over Two Hundred Miles on
SNOW shoes.


ST. JoHNs, n. f., March 26.-Mrs.
Burgess, the wife of a member OF the
Newfoundland Assembly, has accom-
plished a feat second only 10 that Of
Mrs. Peary. She accompanied her
husband to the session at ST.
Johns, walking 230 miles over
snow and ice on snow-shOes. They
had a guide, sledge and three
dogs carrying baggage and provisions.
During the first portion of their jour-
uey, 1O3' miles from Little Bay, their
home, along the coast they frequently
travelled many miles over ice on the
bays aud inlets. Three niChts were
spent without good shelter. They made
a temporary shelter of bra lches Of trees
and warmed themselves at fires. Sleep
was impossible, owing to the cold.
On one occasion it was necessary TO
cross an arm of the sea, eleven miles
wide. in q boat. The boat was leaky.
Four rowers, Mr.. Burgess and his wife,
the guide, dogs aud sledges were all in
the boat. They had TO unravel a rope
10 I'll the seams Of the boat and to pre-
vent her from sinking. They were
caught in the running ice and nearly
carried out to sea. The men gave
themselves up for lost, but they gained
an isolated rock and finally got TO the
mainland. The rest of the journey, 127
miles, was through the interior, cross
ing rivers by means Of trees lying
across them. Several snow-storms were
encountered, and sixteen days were oc-
cupied In the journey. Mrs. Burgess
is the first woman in Newfoundland to
make such journey.
