The Co.umba's Captain Accepts the
Blame for the Dry Dock Accident

Standardization.
The court of inquiry at the navy yard
investigating the question OF responsibil
ity for the recent injury to the cruiser
Columbia while in dry dock in South
ampton, adjourned yesterday Afternoon
after listening to a confession of fault on
the part Of Capt. George w. Sumner
commander of the ship.
As was stated in yesterdays Stand
ard-Union, the testimony before the cap
tain took the stand clearly indicated that
he was In error in docking the vesse,
before the dry dock had been examined
as to its fitness. and ne bore out the
testimony by manfully acknowledging
that the damage to the vessel was due
to his own neglect
IL sent no officers to examine the dock
and it's appliances before docking my
ship" he said. "and this was serious
oversight on my part, and one that I
deeply regret"
At this point Captain Summers emo
tions overcame him and he wept like a
child
Rear Admiral Walker and the members
OF tine court regarded their captain with
astonlshment and waited for him to re-
cover before questioning him further.
Finally Admlra. Walker said;
"In the face OF these facts. why did
you pay the Southampton people?'
For three reasons" answered the cap
tain. First, had received no orders to
do otherwise, the company disclaimed
liability for the injuries. and / feared
they mlght libel my ship"
"They Couldn't do that; she belongs to
the United States" observed the ad-
miral.
Judge-Advocate Draper finished reading
the captains statement and then an
nounced that the court could make it's
report TO the department at Washington.
The outcome remains in the hands OF
Secretary Herbert.
The Columbia was fioatcd yesterday,
and after taking ON coal will, leave TO
join the North Atlantic squadron.

The problem OF dealing with sensitive
girls is a most difficult one for parents
or guardians. II is necessary that such
girls should be most judeously managed.
The sensitive temperament is, of ais
others, that which makes most unhap-
pines and troIS;es for It's possessor.
until he Tor she) has trained himself to
govern 1t, and not allow 1t to govern him.
The chief obstacle to helping people OF
sensitive temperament. whether such peo-
pie are young or old, is the idea which
dominates most of them that their sen,
sitiveness Is a merit. and not to be ac>
counted a defect or a fault, or to be
contro%ed by the laws OF com non sense.
Sensitive people usually feel proud of the
sufferings which proceed from the deli
cate condition of their feelings. and very
scornful Of those phlegmatic folks who
show little feeling. but work along ZAP
PLY among rAde and unsympathetic sur
roundings. This belief Is shared by young
girls. who are half proud, half unhappy.

Ladies' Auxiliary of the 1-1o-aoth.

In the winter Of 1894, the president,
Mrs. FL. P. ingalls,, conceived the idea of
a building in which the ladies auxiliary
of the 1-10-29th Regiment association,
which has always met with the comrades,
could hold it's meetings and also furnish
pleasant quarters for its members for
their summer outings. Meetings were
called, the matter thoroughly discussed
and the refusal of lot of land adjoining
the regimental lot was obtained, but be-
fore the ladies had fully decided to pur-
chase, Major e M. Shaw OF Nashua, N.
H., offered to present them lot of land
which he then owned on the opposite side
of the street short distance beyond the
associations grounds and the generous
offer was most gratefully accepted. A
building committee was then appointed,
and the work of raising funds began In
earnest. Fairs. entertainments and
dances have kept the ladies busy, but
donations from The comrades have
lightened their burdens wonderfully
Yesterday the building, was dedicated,
and the trustees turned over to the
auxiliary one of the prettiest and mos
convenient structures on the island. A
comrade presented handsome sign
which reads as follows: "De Shawmut
