FLAG FOR OCEAN STEAMERS.

tending our foreign commerce, upbuild-
ing our merchant marine and securing
a fleet of fast ocean steamers for con-
version into wi:rships in case of need
by the payment of subsidies for carry
ing the mails. The subsidized vessels
employed must be American in every
sense.
The vessels are divid ed into four
classes. The first, second and third
classes must be of iron or steel, and the
fourth class may be of either iron, steel
or wood. The first class must have a
speed of twenty knots an hour and a
tonnage of not less than 5000 tons; the
second speed % sixteen knots an
hour and q tonnage of at least 5000
tons; the third a speed of fourteen
knots and a tonnage of at least $500
tons; the fourth speed of twelve
knots an hour and a tonnage of not
less than 1,5o0 tons.
First-class ships carrying the mails
by contract received under the subsidy
act s4 per mile fer each outgoing voy-
age. Second-ciass ships receive 50 per
mile, third class 81 and fourth class 66
cents per mile. Each vessel must take
as cadets or apprentices one American
born boy for every 1000 tons register
and one for every majority fraction
thereof, to be educated in seamanship
and ranked as petty officers.
The first subsidized routes put in
operation under the subsidy act were
from New York to La Guayra, New
York to Colon, San Francisco to Pana-
ma and San Francisco to Hong Kong,
beginning in February and March,
1892. Service on two other subsidized
routes-from New York to Tuxpan and
intermediate ports and New York to
Havana-was begun in November, 1892,
and on two raore-from New York to
Rio de Janeiro and New York to Bue-
nos Ayres-in December, 1892 These
last two were stopped in January, 1898,
by reason of the failure of the con-
tractors, and tire contract service from
San Francisco to Panama was discon-
tinued in September, 1898, and likewise
upon two additional routes, from New
York to Colon and from San Francisco
to IIong-Kong, in March, 1894, at the
desire of the contractors upon the ex-
piration of their two years contract,
because of their Inability to furnish in
creased service.
Contracts were also entered into in
1892 for subsidized route from New
York to Antwerp, the service to begin
in October, 1895, and for route from
Galveston to La Guayra, but last year
they were annulled at the request of
the contractors.
The subsidized routes now remaining
are those from New York to La Guayra,
Havana and TuXpan. The La Guayra
service costs sSl, ,2SS year, the Havana
service ss73,476 and the Tuxpan s130, 1O4
The new Southampton route will cost
S750, 704 year.

ing yet the scars of combat. He was
with Thomas at Nashville. His com
mand fought as infantry in nearly all
the battles of that campaign. He was
also in the Alabama campaign, known
as the Wilson raid, and assisted in the
capture of Selma. Returning home,
Mr.. Babb resumed his collegiate
studies and graduated in the class of

music and art at DePauw university.
For fifteen years she was professor of
history and English literature at Mount
Pleasant.
Mr.. Babb began the study of law i'm
mediately after graduation, and was
admitted to the bar at his home, Mount
Pleasant, in 1868. In 1891 Mr.. Babb
was elected judge in republican dis
trict, overcoming u republican majority
of over 1,500 in the district. He was
defeated for reelection, being caught in
the republican landslide of 1895 He
served as n member of the lower house
in the Twentieth general assembly,
demonstrating his political sprinting
qualities by defea ting NJ. L. Crew, a
stanch republican farmer, in the fall of
1888, overcoming republican majority
of 600 in his county. Two years later
he was defeated by his present law
partner, w. S. Withrow. Outside of
his one term in the legislature and one
term as Judge he has never held office.
He is in no sense a politician, and has
never made more than half dozen po-
litical speeches in his life. He is n
Iowan Wesleyan at Mount Pleasant,
and is a close personal friend of SEN
ator Harlan of the same place, who
was defeated in the recent republican
convention.
He has a beautiful home and
charming family. His wife was Miss
Alice Bird, graduate of the alma
mater of the judge, and was the
foNnder of the famous p. e. o. society,
which has strong membership in
Iowa and other states. Three children
have blessed their hnion-Max, bright
young man of 81, who has just grad

One for Bloomers.

An Allegheny clergyman thinks he
has found Scriptural arraignment of
the bloomer costume in the text from
Deuteronomy, which reads: "There
shall not be the garment of man
upon a woman, and man shall not
wear the garments of woman, for an
abomination to Jehovah, thy God, is
every one doing these things" There is
nothing In this contention, maintains
a Philadelphia exchange, for boomers
were never worn by men. They We're
invented by woman, and are dis
tinctively feminine vestment. More
than this, great many things were
set forth in the Mosaic age as abomina-
.tions to the Lord which were entirely
beneath even the unfriendly notice of
the Deity. When the old Bible heroes
took slant" against any person or
things they were pretty certain to con-
strue them as objects of Divine wrath.
so the Allegheny preachers argument
against boomers doesn't hold together.
He has simply made the mistake of
confusing an offense against GOOD
taste with violation of morals.

quickest passage ever made-the record

previous performances, seems to
show:
First-That she is one of the feetest

Second-That she could chase and
catch any merchant vessel afloat, with
two or three possible, but not certain,
exceptions
Third-That she can easily run away
from any battleship ever built or any
other craft too strong for her to fight.
This, says the New York World, is
rather more than she was intended to

OUR OCEAN MAIL FLAG.
The Beautiful Pennant Now
Flown by a Dozen Vessels.
All of Them Are Subsidized by Uncle Sam
The Famous American Line
Flyers Soon to BE Added
to the List.

An official government flag is seen in
this country nowhere but in the port
of New York, and on the high seas
only between that port and the cities
of La Guayra, Venezuela, Havana,
Cuba and Tuxpan, Mexico. It is the
pennant of the ocean mail service, and
flies upon the mizzen masts of twelve
subsidized American vessels carrying
the United States mails by contract,
says the New York World.
1t consists of a red flag with a blue
border, having the American eagle in
blue and the words: Omitted States
Mail" in white letters. 1t measures fif-
teen feet long and has been in use a
little over two years. Last year it
was seen also in San Francisco and
along the Pacific route to Panama and
Hong Kong, but the contract with the
steamship lines that bore it was dis
continued.
Next month another vessel, the st.
Louis, will be tested preparatory to
adding it the list of subsidized con-
tract steamers flying the ocean mail
pennant, and in October following, this
ship, together with the New York and
the'Paris, also of the American line, and
already carrying the mails, but not
under contract, will begin service an
der contract at Southampton, Eng
land. Later the st. Paul, of the same
line, will be added to the contract list,
making in all sixteen vessels flying

tins and other celebrated players, who
first defeated him and then were
beaten by him.
For many years Wyllie went about
the country pcddling watches as reg
ular business and playing checkers for
money against all comers. For more
than twenty years he has been travel
ing about the world, charging e. "shul
len" for every game played with him,
and occasionally contesting matches
for stakes, which he usually has won.
He came to this country in 1873, and
played over 1000 games of checkers,
of which he lost less than so. In 1881
he again visited America, and won H.
654 out of 1887 games, drawing 1,754
and losing only 100. AS he charged
Americans 25 cents game for the
privilege of playing with him, he must
have earned fair income. In this
country he played matches with c. r.
Barker, of Boston. c. A. Freeman, of
Providence, and the late r. d. Yates,
of Brooklyn, winning from Barker and
losing to the others. AS Wyllie has
had highly successful tours in England
and in Australia, it is believed that he
has acquired a snug fortune.
Wyllic claimed the title of "cham-
pion draughts player of the world" un-
til last year, when he was beaten by
James Ferrie, a much younger Scotch
player, in match of ninety games, of
which Ferrie won thirteen and Wyllie
six, the remaining games being drawn.
After the match the old man said, de-
spairingly: 81 doot I'm too old for
draughts," but since then he has played
thousands of games, and has made re-
markable scores in many places in
Scotland. He has often been called
"close" and "canny," and he has sell
dom failed to win matches on which
has been stal1cd much "siller." In late
years his hearing has been extremely
dull, but his eyes are still keen. He
talks with broad Scotch accent when
he has anything to say, but, like many
other experts in the silent game he
is inclined to be taciturn. He has been
temperate and careful in his habits
during his long life, although he has
been rowing from place to place almost
continually.

A Novel Jail Escape.

A slxteen-year-old boy who for some
months had been confined in Jail In
Brownsville, Ky, made his escape tho
other day. In the morning he got a
letter from his home in the country,
saying his father was very i'll. He sent
word that he would be there by supper
time. Dinner at the Jail consisted of
corn bread corn field beans and bacon,
and at the boys request the jailer gave
him big hunk of bacon. The youngs-
ter ate the beans and bread, but as
soon as the jailer left to work in the
field near by, the boy took off all his
clothes, threw them outside through
the hole in the door through which
the prisoners meals were passed and,
greasing himself from head to foot,
squeezed his body through the six by
ten hole, put on his clothes and went
home. He left word for the jailer that
he would be found at home, and at
night the jailer found him at the bed
side of his father bathing the old mans
head. The jailer allowed the boy to
stay until bedtime, when he took him
back to prison. His diet hereafter, very
likely, will be anything but bacon.

and the value, at $50 per ounce, was
$2s, ,740. The question being asked why
tho gold is cast into such large and I'M

that if it were run into small ingots for
