ident's jawbone, an unimportant sur
gical procedure that was exaggerated
and made much of in the press at the
time.
Mr.. Benedict made the bulk Of his
money not long ago in the great Chica-
60 Gas trust, which he and his asso-
ciates organized. For time the venture
looked perilous, as the Standard Oil
company was doing its best to make it
a failure, but finally Benedict and his
associates doomed the stock until it
reached high figure and cleared mil
lions out of the enterprise.
For many years he has been a very
enthusiastic yachtsman. The Oneida
is always among the first yachts in
commission in the spring and one of the
last to go into winter quarters Since
Mr.. Benedict has owned her she has
steamed about rs, 900 miles and is we'll
known along the Atlantic coast from
Labrador to South America. Last year
Mr.. Benedict was vice commodore Of
the Seawanhaka Yacht club, and on
Jan. of the present year he was pro-
noted to the office. of Commodore.

THE BIGGEST CRANE.

It Was Constructed for the Mare Island
e.. Navy Yard by a St. Paul Firm.
ST.. PAUL, March 4.-This city can
claim the credit Of producing the largest
and finest jib crane ever seen in Amer.
lea or elsewhere.
It is the forty-to locomotive jib crane
constructed by the American Hoist and
Derrick company for the United States
navy yard at Mare Island, California.
As required by the government contract
the crane has proved its ability to lift
forty gross tons, travelling along its
track while its load. is suspended and
and also revolving while d travelling.
When first tested it accomplished this
feat, and few changes in the machinery
were found necessary. ,
The contract price of the construction
is $4s,20o, including freight charges of
5000 on it's transportation on ten flat
cars from st. Paul to it's destination.

FREDERICK v1LLIERs nearly o dozen
wars in different parts Of the globe.
Villiers was born in London about AZ
years ago and became an art student. At
the age Of 26 he was such a prey to dys-
pepsia that when war was declared be-
tween Servia and Turkey he went to the
front for the London Graphic. This was
In 1875, and year or two later he was
in the midst Of the Russo. Turkish war.
He followed the Russian army, and like
MacGahan, the famous American cor
respondent who died Of the black fever
in Constantinople, was great friend
of Skobeleff, the Russian general.
Villiers speedily made reputation
by his fearlessness and his excellent
sketches. Archibald Forbes says that
during the Servo-Turkish war he we'll
remembers the soolding the Russian gen.
eral DochtouroR gave Villiers for sit
ting on a hillock and sketching COM

saw the bombardment Of Alexandria
from the deck of the British ship Con-
dor, which ran up under the very guns
Of the forts. The war in the Sudan
next claimed his attention, and in
1886 he went with the Nile expedi-
ton that was to relieve General Cor
don, but arrived too late. The war be-
tween Servia and Bulgaria, the Bur
mese war and the Chinese. Japanese war
were the occasion Of his latest CAM
paigns.
He sketches with great rapidity on the
field, using small books that he can
carry in the palm Of his hand. At times
when to be unobserved was very impor-
tant he has even made sketches upon
his thumb and finger nails. When an
important engagement begins, he uses
q larger book, for then the soldiers
about him are too busy to bother him.
When his time IL limited. he sends his
sketches in crude form to the Office Of his
paper, when they are elaborated by art
lists who follow his lines and his mar
Rinal instructions.

The Naming of tho Dolphin.

An old story, but not bad one, was
told the other day by an officer OF the
navy who heard the argument repeated In
it. While General Arthur was president,
and during one of the summers Of his ad-
ministration, he was on board Of the Dis
patch at Newport, and Secretary OF the
Navy Chandler was Fostering him to con-
sent to naming the new dispatch boat,
afterward the Dolphin, the Concord, afte,
the first battle of the Revolution. General
Arthur was disposed to quiz Chandler
about his proposed name. He preferred
the name Dolphin as being more suggest
tive of speed at sea. When Chandler ar
gued the Importance Of keeping in mind

tia and the brilliant opposition offered to
Pitcairn's men, General Arthur asked
him: .5tj E#

What Are We Coming To?

Senator Morgan Of Alabama has pre-.
pared bill for the reconstruction of
the United States consular service It
is severe blow, this bill, to the good
old doctrine that a public Office is a
private snap. Senator Morgan actually
proposes that our consuls shall DO put
through an examination for all the world
like college students or letter. carriers
He thinks that the time has come when
the United States consular service will
have to make a strenuous effort, and
that steady one, not to be outdone by
the consular service Of other nations
and not to show Of shamefully and
scandalously In comparison with that
Our commercial interests demand this,
and we shall be oriminally negligent IN.

Can no old political heller who has been
voting the boys straight for 40 years
any longer get the small recognition OF
a foreign oonsulship? What are we
coming to?
The last indignity, however, the
feather that breaks the cancels back, SO
to speak, will be the requirement that q
candidate for consul must know at least
one foreign language and pass examina-
ton therein. If tho day has come when
an appointee to foreign consulship
must actually be required to understand
the language Of the land he is going to
