Editorial from tie Baltimore Ttpal
The A. p. A. people are evidently
wanting in sense OF the ridicu-
lous, or the protests which have
been received at the Navy Depart
ment against the United States
ships of war being painted green
would not have been transmitted.
The natural suspicion at first was
that some joker, with a design to
satirize the A. p. A., had sent in
the letters of objection, but they
came from different directions and
Were evidently sincere. Green is
not viewed with favor because it
suggests Old Ireland, and the A.
p. A. declares it's purpose to have
the Secretary of the Navy impeach
ed unless some other and less Mile
sian hue be used. or what partic-
ular tint shall choice be made |?
Green was selected because it is the
color of safety and resembles the
water of :he sea, and torpedo-boats
in particular must be painted so
that their movements can be fol-
lowed as little as possible by the en-.
envy. Red might please the A. P.
A., rs being an impetuous color and
suggesting the heat of patriotism,
but with it's use strategic move
ments would be out of the question.
Red, white and blue might be
trifie too gaudy and expose us to
the mirth of hated foreigners in
alien ports and yellow is the color
OF the Papal flag; in fact there is
hardly any tint or shade that would
not be open to criticism on som.
point. Most likely, therefore. in
spite of its narrowing effect upon
the susceptibilities Of the A. P. AS
green will continue to be used. II
Is surprising, however, that the
members of this society do not see
how fast their extravagances are
leading them into popular contempt.
The protest against the presence of
a piece of statuary in the Capitol
because it represented Jesuit verg.
ed closely upon the absurd, but
when an objection equally vehe-
ment 10 filed against the use Of
green as paint for the ships of the
Navy because Ireland happens to
De called the Green Isle, we recog
nize that the force Of the droll and
grotesque cannot much further 90.

THE FAKIR's LATEsT.-The IA

ring voice is heard on all the street
corners in the central part of the
city. He is hailed by the masses
with delight. The fakir is q long
felt want. He is the great source
of amusement on Saturday night
and always has some newfangled
trick with which he entertains his
audience. The latest is q little glo-
bule, and by its use the fakir claims
that matches are things Of the past
and should be shelved away as rel
les. By moistening the tip Of the
finger. dampening piece of paper
with it, and then dropping one Of
the globules on the paper. it be-
comes ignited. They sell like hot
cakes, ard the majority of the peo-
pie consider them the eighth wond-
er of the world. The globules are
made of some salt of potassium.
The metal has q great affinity for
oxygen, and the chemical reaction
between the two causes combustion.

Especial Dispatch to he Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, March 30.-The
A. p. A. objects to green as q color
for United States warships. and be-
lieves the Navy Department should
have selected some other color for
the sides Of the ram Katahdin and
the torpedo boats Cushing, Ericsson
and Alarm. Assistant Secretary
McAdoo on st. Patrick's Day is-
sued an order directing that green
be the color of these ships and the
ram Katahdin is already decorated
in this fashion. The Cushing is
also receiving a coat of the same
color, and eventually all craft of
this class will be dressed with the
emerald color. Petitions, some Of
which are most ridiculous in their
wording, have been received by the
cpaIbHbSuts ia WuiCu tuIeatc uTc
made that Congress will be appealed
to in order that the Objectionable
color shall be changed to some 9TH
err more acceptable to the petition
ers. As rule the memorialists set
forth their objections to any color
that naturally recalls the Emerald
Isle and, OF course, these persons
are not Of Irish nationality. The
far Northwest 10 particularly strong
with petitions, and one sets forth
at great length and with much care
and circumlocution a purpose to
call on "their great Representative
in Congress to have the Secretary
of the Navy impeached unless some
other color than green is used."
The petitions will have no effect
however, as green has been selected
as the best color for small boats,
whose safety must depend on their
ability to be seen as little as posi-
bic by the enemy.

he was sent to Oshkosh. Once
there, he improved rapidly. and In

The Indians at Yakutat, Alaska.
were getting ready to go to Olsen.

the oil for winter consumption.
Everybody was going. big and little.
and the village would be deserted
until the hunt was over, with only
the disconsolate dogs 70 watch IL.
The canoes which had been lying
high ON the beach out Of the way Of
possible harm from tide or swell
were showed out into the water.
They are heavy, ungainly things,
dug out of logs. Sometimes they are
80 feet long. It win puzzle white
man o good deal 10 navigate one of
them. but the Indians are az much
at home as IL they were In their
houses. An Indian baby learns to
paddle almost as soon as he learns
TO walk. That method Of locomotion
has been the general one for 50 long
that the whole race II developed ire
mendously in the arms and chest,
but has short, rather weak legs.
When the canoes were in the wa
ter. the work of loading them be-
gan. The members of each family
gathered up their traps and piled
them in.-bundles Of blankets and
skins. household utensils, pots, ket-
ties and pans. dried salmon, provi-
sions from the store. oil In tin cans
and bark pans to hold it. Every fell
low took hand ct loading. little or
big. and every fellow seemed TO
chuck his load into the canoe, hit or
miss, without regard to trim. It was
o wild, indiscriminate higglety pig
gietyness, but somehow It code all
right.
A decent, self respecting whale
boat would have got angry and tip
ped over, but not a dugout resented
its treatment. After all the duffie
had been chucked in the big Indians

squaws climbed in. After that the
men got ready to shove out. The
dogs stood around by the dozen,
whining and begging to be taken
along. Once in awhile q man would
grab dog by the nape of the neck
and throw him on top OF the pile of
baggage. It was q marvel that the
scrambling dogs didn't upset the
whole thing.
One man had two dogs and not
much room. He chucked one in and
paid no attention to the pleading Of
the other. The dog was persistent,
but his only reward was q cuff on
the ear. The man went back up the
beach to his house to get o last some.
thing. and the dog waded out and
climbed into the canoe. The Indian
ran back, grabbed him by the scruff
Of the neck and threw him out on
the beach. The dog waited q minute
and then waded out and climbed in
again. This time the Indian threw
him out harder, but the dog wasn't
discouraged. He shook the water
out of his fur and wagged his tail.
When he thought he had q good
chance, he waded out and climbed
into the canoe the third time. The
Indian swore by his totem and drag
ged the dog mp the beach. Before
he could get back to push the canoe
of the dog had run out into the wa
ter again and climbed up into the
canoe. The Indian hit him O clout

dog lay down and shivered. Then
the Indian pushed off. everybody
