A Peculiar But seryiceabie steamship In
the II. Is II. Co.'s Dry Dock.

the ii. ~ u. Co.'S Dry Dock.
The whaleback steamship Sycamore,
Captain Voss, which is at the Harlan
& Hollingsworth Co. IS dry dock, is the
largest steamship of this pattern that
has ever entered the Ghristiana. This
boat, which was built in Sunderland,
Eng, is quite different from other
vessels, as It is Of an entirely improved
pattern. II is two years old and dur
ing that time has experienced some
very rough weather.
The vessel has three masts and all
are utilized in different ways. The
principal uses are for air drafts and to
hold cranes on which the lifeboatsi are
suspended ready to be swung over the
side of the ship at moments notice.
They arc also aids toward holding the
cabins in position. The booms are fiat
on top and hqpd rails are run the
length of each, 10 that no matter how
| rough may be the sea the men do not
need to walk on the deck of the vessel.
There are five steam winches used
in the handling of cargocs. The tnr-
rets are also used in the loading OF
| grain. The crews quarters are amid
ship on tho port side, and the officers
are quartered on the starboard side. In
other vessels the crew are always for
ward.
The doors and matches of the boat
are cased with India rubber, which
is riveted on. There are five air tight
compartments ono of which is forward
and four aft. Tho draught of the yes
self is Is feet 6 inches forward and IL
feet inches aft The stanchions, 4s
in number, which support the cabins,
are all used as air drafts for the boiler
and for ventilation. The ashes arr
discharged from the vessel by means O.
a powerful pump.
The Sycamore was built for the iroI
ore trade and has met with great sue
cess. The capacity of the vessel il
about 3, 500 tons and she steame at L
knots per hour. She is also fitted gu
for towing and has immense stee
hawsers on board. The largo steamship
Great Northern, about 6,000 tons
broke her shaft off Cape Hatteras
short time ago, and @as towed t,
Hampton Roads by the Sycamore a
the rate of seven knots per hour.

SILVER FEVER DYING OUT.
Advocates of Free Coinage IIapidiy Losing
Gronnd In the South.

Gronnd In the South.
Baltimore Sun special
Washington, Oct, Is. Tho useful
work accomplished in Georgia by Sec
rotary Smith and the recent speeches of
Secretary Of the Navy Herbert in Ala
bama have unquestionably done much
to scatter the free silver ranks in those
States and to mobilize more strongly
the advocates Of sound money. The
Gulf States and Georgia, South Caro-.
lima and North Carolina have been the
scenes of greater political activity and
have expressed q deeper interest in the
silver question than most common
wealths east OF the. Mississippi river,
and while in none OF these will there
be an election this fall to test the rela-
tive strength Of either side, the forces
of both the sound money men and the
silver men are being marshaled even
now with the expectation of capturing
the delegations to the next Democratic
national convention. Early in the
spring and for several weeks during the
summer the silver advocates seemed
to predominant in those States and dis
played greater activity and were &C
corded more enthusiastic receptions
than their less active opponenta. As
the months passed, however, and the
people awakened to deeper interest in
the question and heard strong presenta-
tions Of both sides by men Of national
repute, it became evident that the
sound money adherents were gaining
strength at the expense of the free sill
Yer heretics.
In Georgia, the hot-bed of free silver
and one of the first States in the South
to bring up the question prominently,
the cause has been constantly dwind-
ling, and will probably continue to lose
force as the time draws near for the
selection of delegates to the next Demo
cratic convention. The active work of
the Democratic press and the speeches
of Secretary Smith have aided materi-
ally in bringing about the result, and
now that Alabama has renewed and in
vited reopening of the question on
the stump, il is asserted by Mr. Her
bert and other prominent men of the
party, who have felt the pulse of both
sides, that she will fall into line next
spring or summer with solid sound
money delegation. Secretary Herbert
is satisfied with the situation, which
he reports as almost similar to that in
Georgia. During a recent visit to his
| otate ne spoke 10 large ana attentive
audiences at Montgomery, Evergreen,
birmingham and Huntsville, and found
the people ready to listen to the argu-
ments of both sides and cabable of
forming their own opinions on all de-
tails of the question. To-day the secre-
tary informed "Sun" representative
that he was entirely satisfied with the
prevailing conditions and that he was
confident there would be no doubt of
sound money winning eventually. He
admitted, however, that the silver
feeling was very strong and that deter
mined and continued work would be
required 10 prevent its taking further
hold. He believe the people under
stood the two sides of the arguments
better and he thought that the more il
was discussed the greater the number
of converts to the sound money cause.

peach trees have been set out this year
than ever before. With proper care
the peach grows well here and comes
early into bearing. Some fruit may
generally be looked for the next year
after planting and profitable yield
the second year. They are not as good
as Delaware peaches--the northern va
rieties will not do well here and re-
lance must be placed mainly on seed
lings from the Peento stock-such as
the Waldo, Angel, Bidwell's Early and
Late and kindred brands--we are even
too far south for the Elberta, that IA
nous peach of Georgia and North
Florida-but our local peaches are
great deal better than none, they can
be put into market ahead of any others
and the yellows is unknown. Paren-
| thetically, the potato bug is also un-
known and haven't seen a crow since
have been in Florida. Neither have
| seen rat nor a rattlesnake and only
one mouse. The English sparrow is
also said to be very rare; personally
am SO poor an ornithologist as TO be
unable to distinguish the sparrow from
other little birds, Quails are numerous
and local sportsmen will be after them
in full force by daylight of November

the things which have been or are
