ton square. The occasion was the
fourth lecture in the series on the "He-
roic in Art" which DR.. Wood, who is
professor OF the history of art in the
university is delivering this spring.
The bust is of Carrara marble, and is
larger than life size. Preparatory TO
the unwilling, DR.. Wood said that II

It was Mrs. Stoves She fought
great evil and she won. "The only
two such evils she has left to us,
think" said Dr. Wood, ARE intemper-
ance or passion, and darkness or ORR
entail superstition. These evils must be
fought by US, and these battles must be
won" He told one incident Of Mrs.
Stoves life which he said he believed
had not been in print. It was Of her
first meeting with President Lincoln.
"Ts this the little woman" the presi-
dent asked, as he took her hand, DR..
Wood said, who has made this great

DR.. Wood told of his finding the bust,
by the merest accident of spending
Sunday afternoon with a sick man in
London, among the effects Of Lord Sey-
mour Fitzgerald, formerly governor OF
Bombay, where it had lain for ten years
subject to the accumulation OF London
SCOT. His friend, DR.. Wood said, had
been collector of art objects Of Vari-
GUS sorts, and one day the Doctor
asked him If he had any heads. After
some though he said that he had
among the marbles bust Of coun-
trywOman Of his visitor and brought
out the Durant sculpture. DIR. Wood,
who is Of an enthusiastic nature, was
delighted beyond measure, so enrap-
tured that in the middle of that night
"the night that she became NINE" he
said-he awoke and went down to the
room where the bust was, filling the
room with its presence"
''In the stiffness, the dead stiffness,
Of a London midnight" he said, 81 was
alone with my countrywoman."
He brought the bust over here in a
stateroom adjoining his, refusing to
cOnsign it to the hold.
II have the honor Of unwilling to
you, my countrymen, the bust of this
beautiful woman" he said, as he with
drew the covering from the bust and
pedestal in the middle of the platform
behind him. The revelation of the
statute was applauded. Miss Eliza
Stowe, Mrs. H. B. Stoves daughter,
was among the $50 persons who filled
the lecture hall. She was with her
mother when the bust was made. DR..
Wood read a number Of letters. among
them one from Senator Joseph r. Haw-
ley, of Connecticut, who was a friend
Of Mrs. Stowe, and some from mem
bers Of Mrs. Stoves family. Miss H..
B. Stowe of Hartford wrote:

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 13.-On the
reference to the authorized statement
given out that ex-Queen Liliuokalani does
not consider her abdication as binding,
prominent Hawaiian says:
81 venture to suggest that the Queens
Chamberlain, Mr.. Palmer, in his letter
puts number of highly respectable gen.
tlemen of Hawaii in a rather EN- barrassing
position. w. G. Irwin Is the leading
banker and large sugar planter, and Mr..
Irwin was one Of the Queens Cabinet, an
old resident man of wealth and stand
ing; Mr.. Parker is also one of her e1-
Cabinet and one of the most prominent
leaders of the native Hawaiians, and the
other three who certify to her act of abdi-
cation are well-known citizens and her
active partlsans. These gentlemen certify
that the act was considered carefully and
deliberately by Ii iuokalani and that it
was her free act and deed
Mr.. Palmer is unfortunate in his cita-
ton OF the historian, Professor Alexander,
for in the genealogical table ref. rred to in
his History of the Hawaiian People, so
far from showing that Liiiuokalani is de-
scended from the ruling family in
Hawaii he makes it clear that the Queen
has not drop of Kamehameha blood in
her veins. She derives all the claim she
has TO the throne from a vote of the Leg
islature and the liberal constitution ten

for in that fog she could have come in
quite as we'll with all her lights going and
never been seen. The matter was made
very light of on the feet to-day, and it
was claimed that the test could not be
counted as fair one. 1t is true that only
four ships were on duty, the Amphitrite
and Marblehead being in port, and it is
likewise true that the night was IA
vorable to the blockade runner; but
it might be observed that were the Vesu-
vius a real blockade-runner she would
probably have selected such weather for
the expedition, and Admiral Bunce knew
he did not have but four of his ships in
line when he gave the Vesuvius her orders.
The Ve>uvius seems to have demonstrated
fairly well on the whole that four of Uncle
Sans best ships would not be able 10
keep blockader out of Charleston harbor.
All she would have to do would be to wait
for heavy fog and to run in between the
lines. The result of the attempt to be
made at night was awaited with interest
The battle ship Massachusetts Joined the
feet to-day and the Amphitrite has re-
sumed her place in the line. The attempt
was consequently made with six ships in
action. The weather was clear and con-
ditions were far more propitious for the
feet.
The cruiser Vesuvius made five unsuc-
cessful attempts TO run the blockade to-
night. The conditions were exactly re-
versed from last night as the air was free
from fog or mist and the searchllghts
worked perfectly. For stretch of nine
miles the waters of the Atlantic in front
of Charleston harbor bristled with Uncle
Sans flying forts and cleaned with the
restless arrows of dozens of searchlights
From the Beach channel on the north to
Pumpkin Hill channel on the south the
fleet held the line in the following order:
Massachusetts, Maine, Am phltrite, New
York, Indiana and Columbia. The line
was established at o'clock and the Vesu-
vius was sent out to sea.
The searchlights began at once to play
over the waters. 1t was about 7:35 when
a light from the Maine stopped its wan
derings and streamed along steadily upon
one point. The cause was soon known.
She had caught the Vesuvius. A red and
green signal told the tale, and the
lights of the feet turned upon the spot
brought the white hull of the cruiser into
full view. The Vesuvius put up her lights
fore and ait and went to sea again for
another trial. The next time she got past
the line and was nearly out of danger
when the lights of the Amphitrite caught
her.
Three other attempts were made, and
each time the blockade-runner was quickly
caught.
Commander Pillsbury handled the We
suvlus with consummate skill, but the
lights were too many for him.
Sunday is a day off with the sailors.
There will be church services on the New

over the bar at speed of some fifteen
Knots to the protection of the Confederate
guns. Their coming was always expected
and range-lights to guide them were
burned every night from the steeples in
the city and on Castle Pinckney and Fort
Ripley in the harbor and Sumter and
Moultrie at its mouth. Once inside they
reaped rich rewards for their hazardous
enterprise.
The mouth of Charleston harbor is en-
circIed by bar extending from above
Long Island on the north TO some dis
tance below Lighthouse Inlet on the
south. The mean low water on this bar
varies from fourteen to sixteen feet with
shoals in various places. Several chan
nels affording at least fifteen feet of water
lead from deepwater outside across it to
the deepwater inside.
During the time of the real blockade the
principal channels were: The Beach, on
the north. running near the shores OF
Long g. Sullivan's Islands; the North
Channel, just below it., running more
directly east; the Swash, next below. the
shortest of all three, and some miles below
the Pumpkin Hill Channel, leading across
the bar to the main ship channel, which
ran along Morris Island. These were the
ones in general use at the beginning of the
war, and were shown on the charts; but
there were numerous Others well known
to the pilols about Charleston, but not to
the officers of the blockading squadron.
They wound around the devious courses
made by the shadows, but were safe enough
for skillful pilots on the light-draft
blockade-runneTs, with the numerous
fixed lights on shore 10 guide them. The
blockaders could not follow, nor could
they lay close TO the bar on account of the
currents and tides, which might carry
them into the breakers and to certain
destruction. Then, too, they had to keep
well out of range of the Confederate guns,
which covered large section of the bar.
The bar and its channels are subject TO
natural changes, and since the time of the
real blockades jetties have been con-
struct'd and dredging work done which
throw the North Channel and the Swash
into one, which is the most used, especi-
ally by vessels approaching from the
north and east. On tie south two chan
nels. the Pumpkin Hill and the New
Pumpkin Hill afford passage over to the
main ship channel. These are well
buoyed, and beacon lights on the shore
just north of Lighthouse Inlet, offer good
landmarks. It is here that the evolutions
of Admiral Bunce's squadron are being
conducted.
While the blockade grew TO be so effec-
tive toward the end OF the war that not
one vessel in five succeeded in getting
through, the returns from that one repaid
the owners on the whole, and they kept
at it until the last. The beach channel
was their favorite course, as they could
sooner get into shallow water, where the
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-14

blockaders could not follow, and under
the guns of the forts on Sullivan's Island
Many rich prize was taken at the en-
trance of this channel and many a vessel
beached to prevent capture which was de-
stroyed by the guns of the feet. On Feb
ruary 2, 1864, the richly freighted steamer
Presto was seen lying near Fort Moultrie,
having crept in during the night. The
monitors went near and opened on her at
$500 yards with their rifled guns and soon
destroyed her. Millions of dollars were
lost every year to the British owners In
this manner, and the powers of resistance
OF the Confederate Government most
seriously hurt by this blockade.
Early in the war an attempt was made
to lessen the work OF the feet by sinking
vessels loaded with stone across the Beach
and main ship channels. This did not
prove successful, however, and the vigil
ance of the officers and men had to be
kept up from the summer OF 81 till the
end of February, 1865 When all was
finished and they reached the city there
was no grand ball to welcome them,
though tney were doubtless willing enough b
to dispense with it as long as they were
not treated to balls of another kind.

San Francisco is evidently designed to
become genuine Mecca for rheumatic
tortured humanity, and the number of
people afflicted in that way is legion.
The news of the Electro-M Medical Cure
for that dread disease, rheumatism, the
eminent discovery of the State Electro
Medical Institute, has proved welcome in
telligence to thousands who are in the
grip of that excruciating ailment, and
every day witnesses the arrival in this
city of patients from various points on the
coast.
1t will soon be quite the thing for the
rheumatic-racked man of America to come

xpel his twinges, as it is for Continental
Europe to annually flock to Aix-les- Bains

That this electro-medical treatment is

fleets. Is now a recognized fact.

in Past Harfare.
The Institution of the blockade of
Charleston harbor is now fairly under
way, and though not quite so agreeable as
lying in snug harbor, Admiral Bunce
without doubt finds ''going through the
motions" in this February, 1897, very diff
ierent from the real work in which as the
lieutenant-con of the ironcIad
steamer Catskill, a member of the South
Atlantic squadron, ne was engaged in

part of few well-known mem bers of the

and cut every appren tice- boy in the
squadron is entirely familiar to slip in

ing to the inner harbor. Then it was to
30 cover an arc of circle some thirty miles
IN length as to not only block the way into
any one of some ten channels by which
the deeper-draught vessels could get over
the bar, but practically over its whole
stretch, as many OF the daring blockade
runners were specially constructed for the
work, and to draw so little water as to be
able to cross at almost any point.
