PRAISE FOR THE KEARsARGE.
A British View of the Famous Battle
with the Alabama.

The Old Kearsarge, which sank tba
Alabama, has herself come to violent
end. She was wrecked a few DAYS u.-J
in the Caribbean sea-. happily without
loss of life. 1t is all but thirty years
says the London News, since she fought
her great fight off Cherbourg, so she
has kept the seas long time. She
deserved an honored place on the re-
tired list of the American navy. for she
nad claims on national gratitude only
second to those of the Constitution.
Her night with the Alabama was a duel
conducted very much on the model of
the old personal contests in the age of
chivalry. After a hot pursuit she had
at last cornered the confederate
cruiser which had wrought so much
ruin to American commerce, and it was
we'll understood that pursuer or pur-
sued must perish. She watched the
mouth of Cherbourg harbor, which her
enemy was under short notice to leave,
and the fight was inevitable. The
steamers in port come out to see it.
and some of them carried excursion
parties from Paris. The Kearsarge
won by superior artillery, superior dis
cipline, superior patriotism. Her crew
had nobler idea to fight for than the
medley Of mercenaries that crowded
the privateer. These were a desperate
gang. and they had given their of
ficers endless trouble before the Kear-
sarge took the reformation of their
manners in hand. As the Alabama
steamed out of harbor at 10 o'clock on
Sunday morning, June 10, she found
her antagonist waiting for her and the
two approached each other in ever-nar-
rowing circles, firing all the time. The
kearsarge was better prepared for de-
Tense, as well as for attack. Her com
mander had roughly aFmoured her in
the most vulnerable parts by laying al
his spare chain cables in folds over the
sides. The Alabama opened fire at a
distance of about mile, and when the
ships had made seven complete circles
she suddenly turned and headed fol-
the land. She was sinking, for both
shot and shell had reached her with
fearful effect on ship and crew. A
British yacht, the Deerhound, which
had come out to see the fight, came UT
in time to save about forty Of the
crew as they jumped for their lives
The last shot was fired as she went
down. 1t was a glorious victory. We
can say so with a clear conscience now
as the Daily News was among the few
metropolitan journals that said so wher
it was won.

Did you know that a woman-a mere
woman-made the wonderful anatomical
discovery of the reason why a woman
has a soprano voice and a man sings

Common tells the story-it is a German
one, says the Chicago Post. 1t seems
that Mrs. Emma Seller, a native of
Wurtzburg, when left widow with two
children to support, resolved to become
a teacher of singing, but suddenly lost
her voice.
Then she determined to find out why;
also to discover, if possible, the correct
method of singing, 50 that others might
not lose their voices. For this purpose
she studied anatomy. Surrounded, how
ever, as she was, by the idiots and big
OTIS who would cut off all intellectual
pursuits from women, she was obliged
to study in secret.
She dissected larnyx after larnyx and
spent years in her search, trying to find
for one thing why women's head tones
could reach high G, while men had no
soprano tones.
At length her search was rewarded.
She discovered under the microscope
one day two small wedge-shaped carti-
lagos, whose action produces the high
est tones of the human voice She
made her discovery public.
1t excited great attention among scien-
lists. But so cruel was the prejudice of
her time that she did not dare let the
world know a woman made the discov-

the Laws.
Washington, May 9.-Bronson How
ard, the president of the Aneri-
can Dramatic club; Charles Bernard,
J. T. Clarke, David Belasco and Har-
rlson Gray Fiske, and other persons
interested in the drama, are actively at
work in the interest of all bills now
pending in Congress for the protection
of playwrights and theatrical managers.
The object sought by the congressional
bills is the extension of the jurisdiction
Of the United States circuit courts so as
to provide that when an injunction is
granted by a United States circuit
Judge restraining the production OF any
dramatic or operate organization, the
injunction shall operate on all other
circuits of the United States, unless set
aside after proper notice and hearing.
The bills are before the Senate and
House committee on patents.
In a statement made to the Senate
committee today, Mr.. Howard de-
clared the evil of piratlng plays has
grown, in defiance of the copyright
laws. to suchsan extent that writers
and managers who pay large prices for
the writing Of plays for the past ten
years have given up copyrigrting

Mr. Howard pointed out that in

it was obtained would move out of the

business interests involved in this pi-
rating, he declared, were enormous and
the legislation sought to be obtained

Howard read numerous letters from
theatre managers and playwrights say
ing it was impossible to secure any pro-
lection under existing laws.
Mr.. Howard received assurances that
