Senator Nelson, OF Minneso-
ta, does not think that sufficient
progress is being made on the

The scene was a horrible one.
a thick, suffocating smoke was
pouring out of the windows,

cries of the struggling, panic
stricken worshippers rose even
above the cracking timbers.
Strong men struck down weak
women and children, and fought
like demons to escape the de-
vouring flames. No aid could
be given them from the outside,
although a crowd had quickly
assembled.

The Famous Poem on the Abolition or the
GroE Ration in the Navy.

~ Htuou Eoth On inc ABOLITION D. Nuo
GroE Ration in tho Navy.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-Pay Director Caspar
schenck. the senior officer of the pay corps Of
the navy, is 90 years old to-day, and will DO
placed on the retired list for age. Although
Mr.. Schenck is best known in naval circles
as q famous story teller, he has done other
things than spin yarns for his brother officers.
He was mentioned for meritorious conduct at
Fort Fisher. and retires with the consciousness
Of having done his duty at all times. and with
the respect of all who know him.
1t was while Mr.. Schenck was n young man
that he wrote tho poem. so frequently quoted
by naval officers, about the abolition Of the grog
ration in the navy. Admiral Foote was the In
spring genius Of the temperance movement.
and when Secretary Long recently named a tor
pedo boat in his honor, Mr.. Schenck's verses
we're recalled By officers on duty at the Navy
known couplet OF the poem In this way:
He raised our pay i've cents . day.
And stopped our grog forever.
HE" meant Admiral Footc. Mr.. Schenck,
however, did not refer so directly to the naval
out the verses from memory the other day.
81 think" no said, that they are exactly as
originally written by mo thirty.sevon years
These are the verses:
FAREWELL TO aRoa.
Written by Caspar schenck on board the United
States Ship Portsmouth on Aug. 81. 1859. the day
before the law abolishing grog in the navy went into
effect.
Come. messmates. pass the bottle round,
Our time is short. remember,
For our grog must stop an our spirits drop
On the first day OF September.
Farewell. Old Rye, tits a sad. sad word,
But alas It must be spoken;
The ruby cup must be given up
And the demijohn be broken.
Yet memory oft will back ard turn
And dwell with fondness partial
On the days when gin was not a sin,
Nor cocktails brought courts. martial.
Jacks happy days will soon be gone.
To return again. oh. never
For they've raised his pay nve cents Q day.
But stopped his srog forever.
All hands to splice the main braoc call.
But splice It now in sorrow.
For the spirit room key must DO laid away
Forever on to- morrow.
In a foot note Mr.. Schenck says that splicing
the main brace was n term used for serving an
extra tot or portion OF grog to tho crew.

to mako tho Italian actress pose for her por-

phrase In which she submitted herself to the
