A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
Mrs. Cleveland's Last Communion
at DR.. Sunderland's Church.
Members of Church at Invitation of
Pastor Take Hand of Presidents
Wife in Affectionate
Parting.

A touching incident marked Mrs.
Cleveland's last communion Sunday at
DR.. Sunderland church, says the Wash
ington Times. DR.. Sunderland, the
venerable pastor of the church, who
had officiated at Mrs. Cleveland's mar
rage and who has baptized her chill
dren, addressing the congregation,
said:
Mrs. Cleveland is with us at this COM
munion service, where she has been
many times before, but as this is prob
ably the last time she will be present
on such an occasion have felt that it
would be appropriate to testify to the
esteem and affection of the congrega-
ton toward her, as one who in her high
place has shown an example of wise
Christian womanhood, and that if she
would kindly remain in her pew until
the people pass by and take her by the
hand it would be a source of great sat
3sfaction to us all"
This outburst of emotion on the part
of DR.. Sunderland affected Mrs. Cleve-
land. The congregation began to file
by her, and TO all she extended her hand
and gave them a cordial handshake.

TO RUN NIGHT AND DAY.

Unusual Activity at Arsenal Mt Wa
tertOwn, Mass.
The Watertown arsenal has just com
menced to run night and day. Maj.
James w. Reilly, the commandant, de-
oided on this course and has been pre-
pairing for night work for several
months, and the plan of running the
immense gun carriage plant 16 hours
. day will be tried. The most impor-
taht step in connection with the night
work is the selection of gang of men
to operate the machines. At first only
a few of the largest machines will be
operated, and men now working days
will be selected for the work. Green
hands, although they may be the finest
of mechanics, cannot take the work
as left by the day hands and carry it
ON during the night, because they are
not familiar with the drawings or with
the work. For this reason it will be
several weeks before the plant will be
in full blast at night as well as dur
ing the day, or until Maj. Reilly has
selected a night gang which will be
composed of men as skilled as those
now employed days.

A Child and the Letters.

An ingenious person named Krohn,
whose patience is evidently more high
~ developed than his sense of humor,
has been making some experiments

that it takes a young child 364-1, 900 of
a second to recognize the letter C, $685.

ing should be done by words and NOT
by letters, and the letters should be 1-l2
of an inch high and printed in a line not
more than four inches long. We don't
know exactly how he has discovered all
these things, but that does NOT matter,
for he is evidently a very profound
person. We have done some figuring

this enterprise Alabama makes its start

will be used by the mill itself.
Alabama thus formally enters on steel
manufacturing, her previous efforts re-
sulting in a manufacture of good basic
steel, but rugatory by reason of large
fixed expenses with too small an output
to be commercially successful.

Pacific Coast Companies Conclude 1t Is

The powder war which has been
waged on the Pacific coast for nearly
five years is over. During that time
the contending companies, it is esti-
mated, have lost between 81 ,000, 900 and
S1,5G0,OOO in profits from them, and the
holders of stock have gone without dtvi-
bends. For several months, however,
negotiations have been in progress re-
srfting in the adjustment of all diff
sulties, and the attorneys of the three
companies interested were instructed
to draw up the final papers for sigma
ture.
Upon the general proposition of an
agreement as to the prices of dyna-
mite, the Judson, California and Giant
companies have been in accord. They
nsanufacture over 5000, 900 pounds of

advance on those products of about

Commissioner OF Pensions Evans is rot.
he says, very radical Temperance worker,
but what he opposes is file excessive use
or alcohol by his official force. He up
poses this not only for the good of tire serv-
ice but for the good of the clerks them
selves
The Commissioner does not intend 10

IL ne neelects his ofncfti DUTIES Because
he does drink. the good of the service de-
mands that this clerk be sacrificed There
fore, the CouinissioBer has simply warned

strong drink ana has suggested that me
of the most effective ways TO avoId the
excessive use of liquor Is lot To use 1T at

commissioner Evans can cite many In
stances OF good CLERKS gone wrong A man
il active and efficient He begins TO stay
out late AT night and show up late in the
morning His eyes are heavy and his
head thick. The administration of the
Pension Bureau aims 10 GET the most ef-
fcctive work out of each empl0ye, and
the Commissioner believes that the eff
ciency of a clerk is impaired By excessive
drink
Many Of the clerks in he Pension Office
Lave taken the advice of Commissioner
Evans with bad grace. They say, when
they meet in { he corners and re cessss OF the
building, that the Commissioner OF Pen
sious transcends his authority when he
seeks To prescribe their course of conduct
after office hours After the close of the
office they are not subject To the reguia-
tion OF the Commissioner, and if they get
drunk or violate the law it is~the police
department which ought to hold them re-
sponsibie
These clerks i::sinnate that ii is cnly
the question Of few days when Commits
sioner Evans will request the ladies of the
bureau not To attend the theater OF take
supper after the show.
But Commissioner Evans does not pre-
scribe rule of action for his clerks after
office hours. He simply insists that when
they show up for work in the morning
they shall he sober and able to perform
their work. If their ability does not MA IN
tain the average of efficiency, they stand
in danger of demotioD or dismissal He
wants this understood Then he suggests
that as most of the trouble is caused by
drinking, tile clerks ought to remove the
cause.

WILL ASCEND ST. ELIAS
Noblemen Eager TO Climb Alaska's $
Great Mountain.
They VIII Attempt "a Feat That
Never Yet Has Been Ac-
cOIDplished.

New York, May 29--Prinee Luigi. Of
Savoy; Duke of Abruzzi, and nephew of
King Humbert, Of Italy, arrived here todiy
on the steamer Lucsnia Accompanying
the prince were: Chevalier NJ Cagni. DR..
de Filippi, Chevalier Francesca GoneIIa,
ChevaIier Vittorio sella, and five Alpine
guides.
TIE party are en- route to Alaska 10
climb 90 the peak of N0Jnt ST Ebas. "A
feat which has never yet been accom-
plished although many efforts have be. II
male by experts to reach it. The prince
is a famed mountain climber lie has
climbed all the famous high slopes OF
Europe, and is a prominent member of
the Italian Alpine Club. An of the party
are Italians. the guides coming from the
Italian Alps Prince Luigi is only twenty
four years old In speaking o. his pro
posed ascent, he said: We do rot care
to have our expedition considered ia the
light OF d braggadOcio The members OF
our party lco& upon mountain climbing
as good SPORT, and it is in that spirit
that we propose to try TO ascend Elias.
l am aware that it is q most difficrIt
undertaking, and perhaps we may fail
But we shall persevere II the weaJher
conditions are favorable.
Prof. Charles F. Fay, ex-pIesident of
the Appalachian Mountain Club, of Bos-
ton, who has been attending 10 the de-
tails of the party's trip to Alaska, met
the prince at quarantine and accompanied
him to the Waldorf Hotel. where the Italian
explorers will remain until tomorrow,
when they VIII start for San Francisco
From Seattle they will take d specially
chartered steamship TO Sitka. where they
expect t. arrive on June 3 From Sitka
they will go to Yakutat Bay, Alaska,
reaching there, according to schedule,
June 81 Then they will proceed 10y boat
ana sled across glaciers and mountains
TO the base of st. Elias.
It is understood that, in case Prince
Luigi's party is successful, before the end
of August they will make an attempt tO
ascend LOgan's Peak, near the boundary
between Utah and Wyoming. An ex-
peditiun under the leadership of Henry
q. Bryant, of Philadelphia, has already
left to explore the country about Mount
Elias and to ascend the mountain if pos
