CLEAR SHIP FOR ACTIoNl"
What IU Means on Board Modern
Man-Of-W War.

"Clear ship for action and be handy, OH!

Jack still sings of the glorious victory
OF the Constitution over the Guerrero in
the old II war, and veritable clearing

or the sharp rattle of drum, mingling
with the Shrin whistles and rough voices
OF the boatswain's mates and tire noisy

and brisk work it is, stirring ana ex-
citing even in piping peace limes, and
the decks throb with the rush OF hurry
Ing feet. as the men, swarmlng mp out OF
the matches, hasten to their stations. The
gun crews cast loose the great guns, the
murderous rapid-tire and revolving cam
non, hastily donnlDg equipments, nIllng
sponge buckets, and, in many cases,
stripping themselves of all supertluouS
clothing, laying bare braWny torsos,
often tattOoed all over with devices dear
to the heart of man -o'-war Jack. Hatches
are covered, hose laid and pumps rugged.
ladders torn away, and the decks turned
topsy-turvy III the twinkling OF an eye.
Rifles, cut!asses aud reVoIvers are served
out from the arnory, the marine guard
falls in, and topmon scramble nlmbly
alOft to secure anything which, hit by an
enemy's shot, might tall and lnJure those
on deck below.
Down come the rails; out come davits
and awning stanchions; everything NOV
abla-lockers, chain, anything and every
thing that might interfere with the work
of battle-is slowed away or secured.
The magazines are opened, and stewards,
wardroom boys, cooks and yoemen rig
the tackle over the ammunition matches
ready to hoist shot ana shell for the guns,
while the water-tight doors are closed
and bilge pumps made ready for use in
case OF blow below the water-line. The
doctor and his assistants prepare Tor their
work OF suecor for the wOunded-lint,
bandages, anesthetics, and all the dread
paraphernalia of surgery are laid out in
the sick-bay, most incOnvemiently situ-
ated way forward in the very eyes OF the
ship, there having been seemingly but
little attention paid by the designers of
our new ships to Improvement in quar-
ters for the sick. On the New York, for
instance, when she cleared for action in
Rio harbor last year, temporary operaL-

Diogenes Could Put Little Tartuess

4 man was seen standing in front of
the tub of DiOgenes, talking earnestly
with the philosopher, and very shortly
went away. A half-hour later friend
met Diogenes some distance from his tub.
"Ah," ne said. "Good-morning. You
seem to be going somewhere"
~ am," responded the philosopher,
curtly.
But you haven't your lantern with
your"
mo. There's no use taking it along
on this trip"
"Where are you going?"
Down TO see the people in the gas
office. They've sent a man up with a
bill for 81 70 for the last month, and l
want to find out when they put meter
on my lantern"
On another occasion friend met Dio-
genes going toward the Capitol with only
a staff in his hand.
"Ah, old man" he said to the philoso-
pher, where's your lantern to-day?"
Locked up III my tub" responded the
philosopher.
why haven't you got it with you?'
''Oh, Pm going up to pay visit to
Congress, and | don't want to lose that
lantern yet awhile" and the philosopher
smiled serenely and trotted along.
4 Roman lawyer on business trip TO
Athens for the first time met Diogenes
on the street.

him, may l inquire why you are wan

piled the cynic, eyeing him sharply.

Mayor Steinman Gives Orders to Ell
force the Curfew Ordinance.
Mayor Steinman took action yesterday
which will doubtless be commended by
the citizens who have nightly heard the
curfew ring and seen the boys pay no at
tention to it.
He has instructed Chief of Police Drew
to see that the ordinance providing for the
arrest of all the boys under Is years OF
age who are found Oh the street after 1t is
rung is enforced. Hereafter when boys
are arrested. they can only be released
for the night on their parents giving
bonds for their appearance in court .he
next day, and it behooves parents who do
not wish to be put to that trouble to keep
their boys off the street.
By the way, as the object of ringing the
bell is to give the boys notice that they
must get Oft the streets, why not ring it
fifteen minutes or half-hour earlier, in
order to allow them to get there before
the time that they are liable to arrest?

In a lengthy editorial, bristling with

depreciation of silver upon realty values
i'll this State. 1t says some of the best
farming property in the valley counties
OF the Sacramento is being fOreclosed
upon by the banks to satisfy mortgages
which were taken at less than 80 per cent.
of their value five years ago. The face Of
the mortgage has not declined but the
value Of all the products OF the land has
gone down steadily with the increase in
the purchasing power of gold. 1t adds
that unless the craftsmanship of America
Is equal to the problem of arresting the
constant Increase in the purchasing
power of money, and the consequent con-
stantly diminishing value of property,
universal bankruptcy Will be the result.
Inat Is not pleasing outlook, but
there Is no question that if this country
does not soon make a radical departure

steadily trending, and that is that none of
the disasters the enemies of free coinage
have predicted can possibly be as utterly
destructive OF prosperity as the present
condition. We are rapidly reaching a
condition whore no change could by any

This state Of things has brought about al
most continual warfare between the

ana the accidental killing of human be-
iDgs and cattle contribute to the feeling
OF hostility. MeXicans dislike being hur-

The Hawaiian oligarchy is represented

by the United States. The Dole Govern
menJ has even gone so far as to declare
that Thurston had right 10 talk as much
as he pleased, and that be has not been
guilty of anything of an undiplomatic
nature.
Now, at the time of the occurrence of
which Secretary Gresham complained,
and when Thurston was guilty of giving
out to the newspapers information that
should first have been communicated to
the Secretary of State, there was not a
lingo organ in the United States bold
enough to contend that Thurston had not
