New York. July Thirty men narrow
ly escaped death in the boiler room Of
the monitor Puritan. That they were not
scalded to death is due to the presence
OF mind of one Of the men. The Puritan
is undergoing repairs to her engine and
boilers at the Brooklyn navy yard The
repairs had been completed and the men
were only putting on the finishing
Orders had been given 20 start the fire
under the boilers and sc; up steam for a
test, as the vessel had been ordered TO
go to sea. The engineers were in the
room giving instructions to several OF
the crew. Suddenly there was a slight
Kissing sound of escaping steam, but the
men continued TO work. Then a sharp
report and a flood OF hot water and
steam from one of the boilers started
them TO their feet. In an instant the
room was filed with steam so dense that
the men could scarcely see.
When the first burst of steam came on
from the boiler, August Wilson, the
boiler-maker in charge, ordered the men
out Of the room. They CROPPED through
the vapor, and as they entered the COM
panionway helped each other to reach
the stairs leading TO the upper deck.
Wilson was the las, one TO get out Of
Of the room, and while he was trying to
find the entrance to the engine nna,ns,
Chief Engineer Cowie Of the Puri,aa>
who heard the report of the explosion,
rushed in:o the room.
Wilson. who was. slightly burned by
the escaping steam, seeing the danger
he would have TO encounter, refused to
get out Of the doorway leading to the fire
room and would not allow any CT the
engineers to pass. Engineer Cowie made
several attempts, to get 10 the valves but
was held back by Wilson. When the
steam had nearly exhausted itself the
valves were closed, but not until Engin-
eer Cowie had been slightly burned on
the hands and neck.
The cause Of the accident was found 10
be the blowing out OF the crown sheet of
one Of the boilers. II was found that the
sheet had burst and that there was an
opening in it about seven inches long and
one inch wide.
1t is miracle, the Puritan's officers
say. that none of the men were killed or
greater damage done 10 the vessel. AS 1t
s. the monitor will have to remain at the
navy yard for some time in order that the
boilers can be put in trim.

A POET FOR Kl0NDYkE.

A rather amusing contention is going
on at present between the New York
World and New York Journal. These two
newspapers have never led exactly what
might be called peaceful and harmoni-
Gus existence and at times it has seemed
that the only possible outcome of the
contention would be personal combat
between the rival proprietors who have
at times amused themselves by calling
one another bad names. But this par
ticular trouble is over the harmless and
Joyous Joaquin Miller.
1t is not certain whether Mr.. Miller is
the real complaint or only symptom.
The Especial Commissioner" epidemic
has been raging with virulence in New
York of late, and the World and the
journal have had it so badly that there
is hardly q crowned head, or notorious
murderer, or literary person, or min
lister, or an artists model, or politician,
or any other person of note on the planet
who has not at some time received a gen.
erous check from one or the other of
these two papers for playing reporter.
AS newspaper correspondent remarked
cynically not very long ago, almost any
body can do journalism nowadays if he
has brains enough to keep out of the in
sane asylum--and even these retreats will
n OF be safe in years to come.
Mr.. Joaquin Miller then--the babbling
brook of the Sierras, who has spent most
of his time writing alleged poetry and
incoming around Mount Shasta was
engaged to go up to Klondyke and
describe the country. The World de-
clares that he was engaged by Mr..
Pulitzer, the Journal says that he was
nebbed by Mr.. Hearst.
Meanwhile Mr.. Miller moons serenely
on toward the land of gold, and each
paper is declaring with daily growing
headlines that it will itself publish the
only emanations from his pen while he lie
there.
Alaska is not good place for a poet
at the present time. Later when it has
developed schools and colleges and stock
exchanges and woman's suffrage, and q
settled way to spell its name, there may
be place for good, gray, worthy poe,
to earn his living. The Klondyke poem
at present would be calamity too terri
BILE to be borne.

IT would would be pity for New Mex
leo to miss the grand opportunity offered
by the Nashville exposition, for display
of her horticultural products. 1t is not
believed that the territory will overlook
her chances In this regard. But the
time is short and those interested should
be up and doing. The proposition ad-
vanced by Mr.. Leeson, manager of the
territorial exhibit, to take lot of fruit
direct from the fair which comes off here
in September, to Nashville, seems fea-
sible. and in every way likely to produce
good results. The present is good time
to consider this matter, for il is likely
that those making exhibits at the local
show, will want to do so with the view of
having their products exhibited at Nash
willie later on.

and ii is the simple truth to say that he
was his good right hand that never failed
him in any emergency, however trying 1t
might be. An alteration took place be-
tween Sheridan and Meade about the dis
position of the cavalry in which high
words were used. Meade subsequently
complained to Grant What did Sheri dan
say queried Grant? He said, answered
Meade, that if | would let him alone he
would go out and whip Stuart. "Did he
say so" asked Grant. "He certainly did"
said Meade. "Then let him go and doit."
Sheridan went and did it. Stuart was
killed and his army routed.
This clearing the foe out of the valley
of the Shenandoah, the brilliant valley of
the routed army at Winchester in which
the enemy lost 1852 killed and wounded,
$4,000 prisoners, 40 cannons and is known
of all men. From this immortal day
October 10 (singulsrly enough the ami
versary of 1orktOwn) until he blocked
Lees retreat at Jettersville, Sheridan per-
formed such wonderful feats of arms as
to draw from the undemonstrative Grant
the following splendid encomium. CAS- a
soldier there is no man greater than
Sheridan. He belongs to the very first
rank of soldiers, not only Of our country,
but of the world. | rank him with Ma.
poleon and Frederick and the great COM
manders in history"

NEW MExICO'S OPPORTUNITY.

In another column of today's NEW
MEXICAN will be found an interview with
Mr.. j. j. Lesson of Socorro, manager of
the New Mexico exhibit at the Ten
nessee centennial. Mr.. Lessons report
of what has been accomplished to
date is certainly encouraging, and his
ideas for furthering the success of our
exhibit at the fair should be carefully
considered.
His proposition, for example, to take
a display of fruit direct from the pro-
posed fair to be held in this city in Sep
TENDER, is certainly a good one. The
territory should have fruit exhibit at
the fair by all means. This becomes al
most imperative when we consider all
that has been said in praise of our hortl-
cultural products. An opportunity now
presents itself for an actual demonstra-
ton of all the statements made regarding
New Mexicos fruit. Besides it would be
splendid advertisement for this in
dustry, and would be sure to attract
great deal of attention.
The idea of an excursion of prominent
men from Tennessee to New Mex
leo in charge of Mr.. Leeson is
also good one. This proposition
has the support Of the Santa Fe railroad
officials, and no doubt transportation
matters can be satisfactorily arranged.
Mr.. Leeson informs us that 35 men are
ready and anxious to make the journey.
This speaks we'll for his work at the ex
position. He has at least interested 35
possible investors in New Mexico, but
the number that he has convinced of the
Importance and advantages of this terri
tory from an industrial standpoint would
reach far into the thousands. This party
should be cordially welcomed in the terri
tory, should the proposition be carried
out as it probably will be, and everything
possible done to make their sojourn in
New Mexico pleasant and profitable.
The offer of the fair managers for
New Mexico day should be taken advan-
tage of by all means. 1t would be the
means of sending the name New Mexico
ringing through the Union. Why not
get up an excursion for come time during
the month of September or October, and
send SO or IS representative citizens to
make this day agrand success. No doubt
Governor Otero could be induced to 90,
and there is not the slightest doubt but
what rates satisfactory to all could be
arranged with the Santa Fe and connect
ing lines.
Opportunities like this do not come
every day or every year, and New Mex
loo ought not to miss the advertising
chances that the present holds for her.

nIHE WIZARD QE The RAIILE Field

Among the countrys many anniversa-
rles few will be more tenderly remem-
bered than the 5th of August; it was on
that day in 1888, that the brilliant, resist
less soldier Phillip I'll. Sheridan surren-
dered to the universal conqueror death.
In his memoirs he says: "My parents,
John and Mary Sheridan were born In
County Cavan, Ireland. On March 6, 1881,
the year after their arrival in this coun-
try I was born in Albany, N. Y" The
next year the family removed to Somer-
set, o., where little PhlPs youth was
spent until his appointment to West
Point in 1913; he graduated in 1853; be-
tween that time and 1861 his life was
spent on the frontiers participating in
various Indian campaigns. In December
1861 he was made quartermaster, serving
in southwestern Missouri, but it was not
until the young soldier was made colonel
of the Second Michigan cavalry that he
found congenial field. He took COM
mand May ~, 1862, and three days after
Joined in the pursuit of the rebels from
Corinth, attacking Beauregard success
fully. In July he won his brigadier's star
at Boonville and in less than six weeks
from his colonelcy he was given command
of the Second brigade of the cavaly d.
vision of the army of the Mississippi.
Soon after Chalmers appeared at Boon.
vile at the head of 5000 picked cavalry
men. Although Sheridan had only his
own and the Second Iowa cavalry at hand
he did not hesitate, but ordered an attack.
Chalmers was suddenly checked, his
shrewd antagonist was not satisfied with
an attack in front but from his small bri-
Qade had the hardihood to detach few
squadrons who fell on the enemies rear.
So skillfully did Sheridan handle his men
that Chalmers believed he was backed by
large reinforcements, the rebels fell back
in confusion and we're ultimately driven
pell-mell from the field. From this sig
nal victory all eyes were fixed on the
young cavalry leader and his rise was as
rapid as his heart could desire.
When General Grant Was transferred to
the east and subseq uently to the chief
command, he called Sheridan 70 his side,

which form box-plaits in the back. All
the seams are covered with the ruching

The deluge could not hold on long
enough to help the Democratic party.
The fact is everything is against the poor
old party. Even the unusual rains have
done wonders in the production of food
for animals. The way the grass will
grow in August will surprise the cattle on
Thousand hills. The tobacco crop of
the southern and the wheat crop of the
middle states are suggestive of barrels of
gold and many of the old Democrats in
these sections are just meditating on the
mysterious ways of Providence. When
mildew should strike the corn to blast
prosperity for the sake of the Dem ocratic
party, the sunshine makes the earth
fruitful and the sweet rainwater battles
the feet of those bearing the glad tidings.
All nature is down on the Democratic
party as a nuisance.
