Perhaps Fighting Bob" is the
naval nickname best known to the
public. 1t was early bestowed on its
possessor because of his hardness
with his fists, and it is not many
years since there We're occasional
adventures in the career of Captain
Evans that justified the name. ,rhe
title may now DO accepted as merely
expressive of an aggressive and en-
ergetic character, for commanding
officer in the United States navy has
few temptations to the use of his
fists. Whether or not a war shall
como to give a new significance to
the title, Captain Evans is likely to
wear it to the end of his days.
Most of the naval nicknamos havo
survived from the academic days Of
the wearers, though few wore of
Platter bestowal. One was earned by
pan officer of high rank by reason Of
his unpopularity with the younger
officers and cadets. 1t is nllitcratiye,
picturesque, almost profane and al
together uncomplimontary. A man
with very long name is likely to
loso ono or moro syllables at tho
academy and to be known ever after
by the resultant abbreviation. Nick
names, however, have their cur
rency limited in actual practice by
the tremendous and ever present
fact of rank. 1t is bold ensign who
addresses tho executive officer by a
nickname even in the comparative
ease of after dinner talk. A COM
handing officer would hardly DO
spoken of by his nickname aboard
ship, though tho phrase 1.-The old
man" is not uncommonly heard in
the wardroom.
Tho wittiest nickname that sur
vived in tho navy from academic
days was that of tho bold Chief En-
gineer w. w. W. Wood, who was
called "W4 OF D, which in mathe- |

Jack Harper's Triumphal Voyage Down the
Ohio River In a Tub.
Jack Harper was an odd man. He
came to Ohio Falls from Newcastle,
England, and was employed by the
j., M. G.. I. r. r. Co. in its shops,
which were at that time located in
this city-a good mechanic and fond
of fun. 1t WAS in tho summer of
1870, and there was to be grand

shopmen, but hundreds of others,

the affair were very anxious to make
it q grand success, and for that pur
pose racked their brains for novel

to tame team of geese and attach

to train his proposed team of four
geese.
Many of the persons who took an
interest one way or another in the
picnic are still alive. and some of
them reside at indianapolis. These
will remember that Harper began to
train his odd team On tho quiet wa

my own cousin, Sarah, of whom l will
say II all Christians were like her this
book would never have been written"
Probably 120 kinderGartens have grown
out OF the Golden Gate Kindergarten
formed by Mrs. Cooper. To her more
than to any one person the people may be
thankful for that modification of the edu-
cational system that makes it conform to-
day to the teachings of the immortal
Froebel.
Mrs. Cooper's well-known Bible class
was organized in 1880. in the Calvary Pres
byterian Church. In five or six years it
became one of the famous institutions OF
the City. Finally she taught doctrines
that were challenged as heresy by Deacon
Robertson.
The trial was a noted one, and Mrs.
Cooper defended herself so ably as to
attract wide attention. The church de-
cided against her and she withdrew to the
First Congregational Church, where her
Bible class again became a great factor
and remained such until the outcome OF
the famous trial of Rev. q. o. Brown.
In the Brown trial Mrs. Cooper was an
important factor.
At first friend of DR.. Brown she be-
came convinced he was wrong, and was
one of the urgent enemies whose efforts
finally resulted in his downfall. 1t was to
Mrs. Cooper that Mrs. Stockton made the
confession that was so fatal to DR.. Brown.
Mrs. Cooper was president OF the
Woman's Congress, and was leading
spirit in the Pacific Coast Woman's Press
Association. Her correspondence through
out the world was voluminous, and her
death will be felt as public loss wherever

devote their lives to religion and educa-

garten work as soon as she IS stronger.
Her chief trouble is insomnia, which tires
her, but has never affected her mind"
In order to show how sane her daughter
was Mrs. Cooper led the way to Hattie's
room. The invalid was lying on her bed,
propped up with pillows, but She seemed
bright and cheerful and conversed readily
about her regret at not being in town dur
ing the election. During the course of con-
versation Mrs. Cooper showed letter
which she had recently received from st.
Louis, from lady signing herself Bessie
L. Robinson. "She refers to lecture l
gave two years ago in st. Louis, and asks
for some of the statistics | gave then about
kindergarten work" said Mrs. Cooper, and
she added: ut is always such pleasure
to receive these letters. showing the in
terest that people feel in the work. If you
think that this one will be of any use for
publication l will lend it to YOU"
Mother, before letting it go see that
you have the right address, because it
must be ar severed and the reporter might
forget to return it," said Miss Hattie
Cooper in such thoroughly practical and
matter-of-fact way that it was difficult to
imagine that she had any mental afflic-
ton.
'Yod see," said Mrs. Cooper, after leav-
ing her daughters room. "how utterly
baseless is any rumor that Hattie is in
sane. She is not strong enough to see
visitors. but l let you see her because l
was anxious to show that she is as sane as
any of US. Hattie is simply run down
with overwork, but I hope and pray she
will soon be strong and well again, and in
the meantime l do not consider it nv
duty to take any part in public life while
my child needs nursing at home; but
Hattie is as sane as | am. "

A LOVER OF INGERSOLL.
The Dead Girl Read Her Relatives
Books.

Books.
Those who knew Miss Harriet Cooper
best say she was not a religious woman in
the sense that her mother was. The
mother was cousin of Colonel Robert G.
Ingersoll, whose works were read by the
daughter One of the books she was fond
of was us Suicide SIM" passages from
which, it is said, made a deep impression
on her mind.
The book IS a somewhat morbid plea for
suicide in certain cases. The following
pa sages from the work probably appealed
10 the girl:
In the room of the busy world the cry of the
respondent is not heard. Death becomes his
only friend. Death promises release from
want, from hunger and pain, and so the poor
wretch lays down his burden, dashes it from
his shoulders and falls asleep To me this all
seems very natural. The wonder is that SO
many endure and suffer to the natural end !;
that so many nurse the spark of life in huts
and prisons, keep it and guard it through
years OF misery and want, support it by beg
gary, by eating the crust found in the gutter,
and to whom il only gives days OF WEAKNESS
and nights OF fear and dread; why should the
man, sitting amid the wreck OF all he had, the
loved ones dead, friends lost seek TO lengthen,
to preserve his Lief Whatcan the future have
for him?
Under many circumstances a man has a
right 10 kill himself When life is of no value
10 him, when he can be OF no real assistance
to others, why should man continue? When
he is OF no benefit, when he is a burden to
those he loves, why should he remain?
In many passages of the famous work
OF Ingersoli such expressions as these
occur: "a little morphine would give the
sufferer sleep-the agony would be forgot
ten and he would pass unconsciously from
happy dreams to painless DEATH

The chairman later took occasion to ex-

DR.. Hemphill extended Presbyterian
welcome to the new pastor in a char

DR.. Case spoke of the need of strong con-

the chairman and invoked blessing on
