His Blockade of Charleston Har-
Dor Again Set at
Naught.
Rocket From the VeSuvius Tells
of Her Success as q
Runner.
Otherwise the Admiral Night
Not Have Discovered
1t Yet.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Feb. 15.-Not-
outstanding Admiral Bunce's care
fully arranged plans for the effectual
blockade of Charleston harbor, the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius successfully
ran the gauntlet of the North Atlantic
squadron during the night. The block
..ders were not aware of the feat of the
ocean PAGER until the prearranged sig
nal, a sky-rocket, was fired from the
low of the Vesuvius. Admiral Bunce
was surprised and disappointed. He
had thought the thing impossible and
was loath to believe the report, it is
said, when it was conveyed to him.
How the blockade was run is priced as
a secret on board the Vesuvius.
The officers are all loasting Of the
feat, and are as pleased over it as the
blockaders are chagrined. The passage
through the fleet was made as easily.
safely and expeditiously as the most
experienced blockade runner could have
made. The trip of the Vesuvius showed
her officers to be thorough naval tacti-
clans.
That the Vesuvius got the better of
Admirrl Bunce's carefully laid and di-
rected plans, is no reflection upon their
efficiency. The Vesuvius' trip simply
showed that there are American COM
manders who are sufficiently skilled in
the science of naval tactics to elude any
we'll organized Gordon of ships stretched
before an american port. The Vesuvius
arrived off Charleston from League
Island navy yard near Philadelphia,
remained at a great distance outside
until after nightfall, when she extin-
guished her lights and began
vers to slip by the fleet. The rain and
fog lent their kindly offices, and a little
before 8 O'Clock she dropped her anchor.
The Vesuvius is said to have taken the
regular ship channel, by the use of
which she was forced to pass between
the blockading feet.
Strange to say, she was not discOv-
cred by the search-lights, which played
over the channel continuously during
the evening. The dispatch boat Dol
phin, which is said to have also given
the fleet the slip a few nights ago, is
expected from Jacksonville, at any
time. The Gushing, Ericsson and tor
pedo boat No. 6, are OF their way to
reinforce the blockade.runners.
The pilots and old blockade-runners
are greatly excited over the maneuvers
of the squadron. chey are all anxious
to be given the opportunity to take a
runner out.

Huntiug the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat "a it indiscriminatsly called, is q
species OF & game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not 30 much because
OF the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because Of It's actual
rarity. 1t is n stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t is not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities. but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
nigh up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.

STILL THE LAWFUL RULER.
Friends of Queen Lii Say She Never Le-

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-Julius A.
Palmer, the representative Of ex-Queen
Liliuokalani, in a card to The Evening
Star declares that the act Of abdication
of the ex-queen was procured unde,
duress and is void for this reason, and
because of legal informalities. He
says that the queen of Hawaii has
never given a legal abdication and is
still the lawful ruler, even if she for
bears to enforce her legitimate rights
1t is believed that L~iliuOkalani inspired
the card. At the Hawaiian legation /,
was read with interest, but without
concern, and is here regarded simply as
an expression from a Royalist stand
point as an eventful episode in Ha-
waiian history, but as not at all likely
to have any practical influence.

Benefits of a Good Cry.
Tears are good for women, says
DR.. Campbell in The Hospital. The
beneficial effect of a good cry to a
woman, he asserts, is partly due to
the increased depth of respiration
and the Improvement in the often
languid circulation thereby induced
but to large extent it is the,result
of the muscular exercise involved,
by which the general vascular ten
sion, and especially the blood pres
sure in the brain, is much reduced.
The profuse flow of tears no doubt
also acts strongly on the cerebral
circulation in still further reducing
tension. The sobbing movements
again, have a good influence upon
the venous circulation in the alb,
dominal and pelvic viscera, while
the exhaustion produced tends to
cause sleep and thus TO give the
nervous system its best chance o.
recuperation.-New York Medica

PRISON REFORMS.

Out of $50 Penitentiary COnvicts, 700
Are Boys.
Rev. P. L. Cobb, Chaplain of the
Tennessee Main Prison, has issued
the following interesting statistical
circular letter:
Having been requested by the
Minister Alliance of Nashville to
prepare statistics showing the neces-
sity of prison reform in Tennessee, l
gladly take this opportunity of aid
ing them, and bringing more promi-
nently before the people some facts
which are of vital Importance to
them.
EducdtiOndL.-It may surprise you
to know that in a prison pOpu-
lation of 1880, 1895 Isl per cent?
could not write their names, while
S43 (53 per cent? were unable to
read when they were committed to
the penitentiary. Three months
ago a night school was organized at
the Main Prison, in which 200 have
been taught to read and write. This
leaves l,095 who can not write, and
643 that are unable to read. All but
| 70 of these are at the branch prisons,
| where no school work is done. The
enthusiasm with which they enter
the classes taught by their fellow
prisoners is delightful. Recently l
heard a number of boys reading
fairly we'll who three months before
did not know their letters. The
library at present is of little value,
but we are overhauling and making
additions which will prove helpful.
The Negro PrObiem.-Eleven hun
dred and seven $50 per cent? of the
fifteen hundred and ninety are
negroes. The negro problem is one
of the most difficult and far-reach-
ing with which we have to contend.
Reform School For BOyS.-There
are 700 boys (44 per cent? under
twenty years of age in the peniten-
tiary. They are not separated from
the old, hardened, and vicious
criminals, but, without any re-
straints, they are allowed an associa-
tion which is u school of crime, and
results not only in their final moral
ruin, but physical as well, and often
in death.
The great breeders of crime are
ignorance and lack of a useful trade
This is shown by the educational
statistics and by the statistics on
occupation-l,2 1851 90 per cent? Of the
prisoners had no occupation mol
trade. If these 700 boys could be
placed in an industrial school, where
they would be taught a trade and
given a fair education, many oil
