ONE THE OLDEST SHIPS.

An American Bark Built In 17G4 Still
Doing Duty.
The bark I!ue Love, built in Phila-
delphia in 1854, has been found upon
search to be yet afoat in the capacity Of
coal hulk, engaged in active trade.
This discovery was made through a cas-
ualty recorded in the Maritime Exchange
as follows: True Love, barge, was in
collision with schooner Gravesend of
London off Gravesend, and had port
quarter damaged to such an extent that
it was found necessary to tow her into
Rochester, and she arrived at that place
in charge of the tug Commerce. The
true Love has not only outlived her
builders and their successors, but has
also Outlived every craft that was built
in her time and for many years after
ward, and this fact, coupled with the
report that the historic craft is still en-
gagged in active pursuits, places Phila-
delphia at the very top notch as ship
building center.
In 1854, when this famous old craft
was launched on the banks of the Della
ware, although her length was but 96
feet s inches, she was then the largest
vessel of commerce that the Delaware
had ever foated. Contrast this with the
dimensions of the huge Hamburg Amer
lean Packet company s steamship Penn
sylvania, whose length is 587 feet, and
one will be amazed with the magnitude
of the modern ship of commerce. The
True Love, upon being completed, sailed
away from Philadelphia early in 1865,
and no record is had Of her return to
this city until Aug. %, 1878, when, at
the age of 100 years, she came into port
from Ivigtut, Greenland, with a cargo
Of kryolite in command Of Captain
Thomas Nathaniel, consigned to b.
Crowley. She was discharged here and
surveyed by the American Lloyds in
October, 1878, and sailed away, never
to return again. Upon her arrival short
ly afterward III London she was SOLD
and turned into a coal hulk, IN which
capacity she still serves.
The dimensions of this famous True
Love are: Length, SO feet 8 inches;
beam, 2G feet inches; depth Of hold,
II feet. She measured 1856 tons register
and, like all OLD craft, carried very lit
tie more cargo.
The discovery that there was still
afloat Philadelphia builtvessel of such
an age has caused much comment on
the floors of the Maritime Exchange,
and some shipping men a1o q the opin-
ion that this old craft should, if posi-
BILE, be purchased as a relic. Records
show that the True Love was for time
owned in Hull, England, by G Dahl
previous to her purchase by John S.
Ward Of London, and during that time
she was engaged in the Baltic trade -

Sensational Turn in the Notorious Case of
Mrs. Mobiles.

Mrs. Mobiles.
The case of Mrs. Elizabeth Mobiles has
taken an exceedingly sensational turn.
1t now appears to be settled fact
that she will not be hanged before next
year at least, and maybe not at all
Thursday morning Colonel Waugh,
Mrs. MOBILES attorney, appeared before
Judge c. c. Smith at JeffersonyilIe and
presented lenghthy bin of exceptions
which Judge Smith refused to sign.
But the attorneys of the condemned
woman have triumphed, and Mrs. No
bles will not hang, at least not for some
time to come.
Her attorneys appeared before Justice
Harlan, of the supreme urt of the Unit
ed States in Washington, on the same
day and filed an application for a stay
of execution, relating as sufficient cause
for granting the application Mrs. Mobiles
sad mental condition besides other facts
that are familiar to the public.
Justice Harlan promptly granted the
stay of execution, and the famous case
takes on new lease of life. Justice
Harlan has set a hearing of the case for
next October, and as 1t is then almost
certain to be postponed until January
or even later, it is very evident that Mrs
Elizabeth Mobiles will not die at the
hands of the law for some time to come
The move of the condemned wOman's
attorneys came somewhat in the nature
of a surprise and adds more notOriety to
case that is already one of the most
famous in the annals of Georgia.

Recognize Cuban Beliigerency.

Why should not congress adopt the
Morgan resolution in reference to the
Cuban insurrection? That instrument
reads:
Resolved, BY the senate and house of
representatives, that condition of public
war exists between the government of
Spain and the government proclaimed
and for some time maintained by force
of arms by the people of Cuba, and that
the United States of America shall main
tain a strict neutrality between the con-
tending powers, according to each all the
rights of belligerents in the ports and
territory of the United States.
1t will be noticed that this resolution
commits this government to no aggres-
sive policy whatever but simply recog-
nizes by law condition already known
to exist in fact. The effect of its pass
age would be to absolve the United
States authorities from the unpleasant
necessity of doing police duty in Spain's
behalf and free our citizens to forward
such arms and munitions of war
TO the insurgent forces as their SYM
pathies might dictate. The one disad-
vantage which such policy would en-
tail is nominal rather tnan actual; it
would release Spain from the legal OBJ
legation to compensate Americans for
property sacrificed during the Cuban
war. We call this merely a nominal
disadvantage for the reason that in
Identification from Spain is entirely out
of the question as it is. The right to
claim indemnity from Spain is now
ours by forms of law, but it is one
thing to present claim TO a bankrupt
treasury and quite another thing to
get it paid.
The representation is made that this
resolution has no chance to pass the
house, not because a large majority OF
the members of that body do not favor
ii most heartily, but because il is coun-
ter to the opinions of Speaker Reed
This is a common accusation nowadays
but we doubt If it is founded on truth
Whatever his personal ideas may be as

Stand by the Platform.

Senator Quay is correct in the view
that the people of Pennsylvania de-
sire the Republican pledges of reform
10 be redeemed in legislation, fully,
fairly and in good faith. Those lieu
tenants or professed friends of his who
are trying to block the way do not only
serious injury to their party, but also
work damage to the power and pres
tige of the senator himself.
The language Of the state platform is
clear and specific. AS penned by the
senator, It offers itself as a. model of
lucid composition no less than as an
accurate Interpretation of the best
civic aspiration of the time. 1--WE de-
cry" it says, "the growing use of
money in politics and the corporate
control of legislatures, municipal coun-
ellis, political primaries and elections,
and favor the enactment of legislation
and the enforcement of laws to correct
such abuses.
I'VE earnestly insist upon form of
civil service which will prevent the en-
slavement of public officers and en-
pointed to preserve the peace to con-
fine themselves to their duties; which
will insure absolute freedom and fair
ress in beStowing state and county and
municipal contracts, and will punish
any form of favoritism in granting
them; which will forbid the grant of
exclusive franchises to deal in public
necessities, comforts, conveyances and
canitary requirements; and will insure
the recognition of ability and fidelity
10 the public service, keeping service
to the country ever foremost, when ac-
clmraried by ability and fitness,
I'VE demand that public office shall
be for public benefit, and it's term in
subordinate positions shall be during
good behavior. No public employe OF
officer should be permitted to influence
primaries or elections, nor upon any
pretense be assessed upon his salary
and all unnecessary positions and sala-
ries should be abolished and expendi'
lures and taxation reduced. There
should be uniform valuation Of prop
erty for public purposes. corporations
enjoying public privileges should pay
for them, and schools should be di
vorced from politics and kept absolute
ly free from political influence and
control"
To defeat legislation framed to fulfi
these pledges would involve the present
assembly in charge of insincerity and
dishonest purpose that could not be re
futed. Republican doctrine, Endorsed
by two state conventions, cannot be ig
nored by a Republican legislature with
out incurring consequences too serious
to be disregarded. it would be culp
able in any element among the major
ity at Harrisburg to shirk this respon
sibilty, but it would be doubly perilou
and ineXcusable for the friends of Sena
tor Quay to do so and thus verify tn
predictions of his enemies that his re
form plank was nothing but humbus
Face front to duty should be tn
cry at Harrisburg. Too long has dut,

THE IRONY OF FATE.

He had fought in many battle and es-
capped without a wound.
He had met stampeded cattle and had
bravely held his ground;
He had hunted in Montana and been
snowbound on the plain,
And he'd sojourned in Havana when the
plague was raising Cain.
He had crossed the stormy ocean many
times without mishaD;
He'd recovered from a potion fixed up by
a jealous Jap.
He had been a reckless rover from the
moment of his birth.
And had Travelled almost over every por-
tion of the earth.
He encountered every danger that you've
ever read about;
He had been a Texas ranger and reck-
less army scout.
But the moral II there's any, In this
humble little tale,
Is that he died from stepping on an an
cient rusty nail.

During the Harrison administration
when ex-senator Warner Miller and Mr..
Platt were fighting each other for supre-
macy in New York, an agreement was
reached by which the federal patronage in
that state was to be equally divided be-
tween these rival leaders. AS fast, how
ever, as the appointments were made 1t
was discovered that they were all cred
tied to Mr.. Platt and none to Mr.. Miller.
Finally, the latter became very much an
noyed and irritated over the glory and the
patronage which seemed to be escaping
him. Upon making inquiry he found that
the agreement had been scrupulously OBJ
served, but that Mr.. Platt, when he
learned that a Miller man was to be APP
pointed, at once added his endorsement,
and to him went the credit. If Miller had
been as smart as Platt he would have
added his name to the applications filed
by his opponents friends, and he, too,
would have shared in all the glory.
