from him. Ashburn refused to deliver
them until he proved ownership.

HIM to turn over the property. which he
still refused to do. saying that he
should keep them till Daug htrey estab

HE GREW OF THE RALEIGH.
What Capt. Merrill Miller Has to
Say About Them.
BY Southern Associate Press.

BosTON, 26.-Capt. Merrill Miller, of
the United States steamship RaleIgh,
when interviewed to-day, said that
there was no truth in the stories pub
lished to the effect that he had refused
to allow his crew any of tho privileges
which arc usually granted to the sail
ors of man.of-war uhIio in port and
that he had refused to give the Grew
their pay whom it was duo.
Capt. Miller said: Gas to refusing to
give the men their liberty can sny
this, that. since January the Raleigh
has been cruising In tho West Indies
and in hot climates, whero sick sss.
such as yellow fever. was apt to become Q
epidemic at any moment. Under such
circumstances it was obviously unwise
to allow men unrestricted liberty on
ahore.
l am responsible to the Govern men t
not only for the condition Of my ship
but slso for the health and physical
condition OF the crew. Everything
possible was done while We we're In hot
climates both by myself and tho other
officers to make the crew comfortable
and contentod.
As to the men not receiving their
wages when due. that is nonsense.
According to the regulations the crow
arc entitled to draw their pay only once
month. The men on the Raleigh re
ceived their last months pay on the
last day of June. They are therefore
not entitled to further payment until
the lest day of July"

Colonel Henry Watterson tells story
of an old compositor whose life had

was that tho human race slept too
much. He had several theories to ad-
vance in support Of his idea. One Of
them was to cut down the usual num-
Der Of sleeping hours by graduation and
finally arrive at q state where, by prac-
tice, one would be satisfied with much
smaller amount Of sleep than one was
getting.
To show his confidence in his theory
he began to practice the new idea al
follows: He usually slept nine hours.
He explained that he would cut this
down to So hours for each week that
passed until he had reduced his numbeT
Of sleeping hours to two, which, he
claimed, was all that was needed by
any one.
The time went by, and the old fellow
had kept to his rule laid down and
finally reached the two hour time.
