BATTLESHIP OREGON.
Constructor Caps Makes Light of
Her Injuries.

WASHINGTON, April 21.--Naval
Constructor Caps, in charge of the
docking of the battleship Oregon at
Bremerton, Wash, has at last made a
report by telegraph to the Navy De-
partment upon the injuries sustained by
the big ship by touching the bottom of
the entrance of the dock. He says the
ship was locked successfully, which
statement the department officials re-
gard as a sufficient contradiction of the
reports to the effect that the new dock
had sunk under the weight of the Ore
gon and had shown signs of weakness.
Probably these reports started from
the delay of getting the water out of the
drydock, which is ascribed to a prudent
precaution on the part of Constructor
Caps to avoid docking the ship in ILL
fitting bilge blocks AS far as the Ore
gon is concerned, the constructor makes
light of her injuries. Her bottom plates
and some of the frames under the for
ward turret were denied in along a dis
lance of about fifty feet. However, no
indentatiOn was more than three inches
deep, and no leaks resulted. The con-
structor does not even regard it as nee
esSary to repair the damage in a per-
manent way now, but may decide to let
the ship go to sea again, and take out
the dents when she returns next fall to
be fitted with her bilge keel

THE CARNIVAL IN FULL SWAY.
OPENING DAY OF LOS ANGELES
FIESTA A SUCCESS.
Marked by Gorgeous Street Pageant,
Which Was Viewed With De-
light by Thousands.

LOS ANGELES, April H.-Properly
speaking, La Fiesta De Los Angeles OF
1897 began to-day. Though there had
been several preliminary events, and
though Queen Francesca and her gor-
geous court had arrived and been seen
at the grand ball last night, the gor-
geous street parade which began its
long line of march at o'clock this af-
ternoon really marked the opening of
the fiesta for all the people.
The attra ctions prepared by the fiesta
managers this year have attracted
thousands of people to the city. There
We're no special features for the morn
ing, and the crowds lined the princi-
pal streets to such an extent that the
ordinary business of the city was of
necessity suspended, and there was lit
tie else but noise and fuss and fun.
The country folks viewed the decora-
tions and the strange sights with great
wondermert, while the city people took
equal delight in viewing the country
folks AS has been the case in all pre-
vious fiestas, by noon of this, the
opening day, there was scarcely stand
ing room on any of the streets along
which the parade was to pass, and a
great sea of humanity surged around
the tribunes, where at 2:30 the Queen
and her retinue reviewed the parade.
The arrangement for tribuneS and
Queens reviewing stand is much more
advantageous this year for sightseeing
than ever before.
There was little delay in the forming
of the great pageant, and shortly after
the time announced for its appearance
the long line of varied hues and strange
outlines marched through the great
gates of the enclosure and passed slow
ly across the field to the Queens stand.
There was standing room only, and a
limited amount of that.
At the head of the line was the Grand
Marshal, Major Madison Z. Owens, and
his staff of mounted aids. Officers of
the National Guard of California, head
ed by Colonel John r. Perry. followed,
and then after the Catalina band came

CarefuIneSS About Food.

1t was not very kind of Professor Max
Muller to tell his little story of Tenny-
sons rather rough criticism on
the dinner Mrs. Max Muller
had provided for him. Ten
nyson, like all very truthful men, like
Dr. Johnson, for instance, sometimes
said bearish things, but host owes as
much reticence to a guest as the guest
owes to his host. That, however, is the
professors affair: but there is some
thing of general interest in the way in
which the story is quoted, as if it were
somehow to Tennyson's discredit to
have cared about his food. Why should
he not care, to a reasonable degree?
And that he was not unreasonable in
his care is the testimony of all who
knew him. A man is not necessarily a
gourmand, and still less a glutton, be-
cause he cares that what he eats should
be properly cooked, should be appetiz-
ing, and should, therefore, be the food
the eating of which burdens him least,
and least distracts his thoughts from
higher things.
There is no reason in the world why
men, whether average men or men of
their food. They never show, or are
required to show, the same contempt
toward any other art, and on no other
is their mental calm more completely
dependent. An ill-fitting coat is a
worry, but not such worry as dinners
perpetually addressed. To many men,
and especially to men whose work is
sedentary, or whose brains are fully
taxed, food which is at once light and
nourishing is an absolute necessity if
they are to exert their highest powers;
and food of that kind is obtainable
only by care in selecting meats, and
good cooking when they are selected. A
man should not think too much of his
dinner, or devote too much time to prep
aration for it, or enjoy it too visibly
when it has arrived, for all those are
animal peculiarities; but to remain
content with bad food, when a little
more thought or carefulneSs or criti-
cism would procure it in a state fit to
be eaten, is only what Scotchmen used
to describe as "a wasting of the mair-
cies. London Spectator

HAW Allan TREATY.
Petitions for and Against Its Abro-
CATION.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Perkins presented two petitions from
California to-day, one for and the other
against the abrogation of the Hawaiian
reciprocity treaty. There is a great
deal of interest in this question on the
Pacific Coast, and while some are con-
tending for the abrogation of the treaty
so that sugar imported from Hawaii
shall pay the same duties as sugar from
other countries, other persons insist
that the treaty shall not be disturbed
These petitions have been referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations,
and copies sent to the Finance Com
mittee. If any action is taken it prob
ably will be in the form of an amend
ment TO the tariff bill, though it is prob
able the Foreign Relations Committee
may consider this subject and make
some recommendations.

who would not deceive his patrons,
when he first went into business, six
years ago, put up a sign which read:

for he kept amending the sign until it
read, eight small children. A few days
ago Joe,s stand was locked for a whole

morning he confided to the butchers

work was to amend the sign so that it

MISSISSIPPI RIVER PROBLEM.
Representative Savers Presents Plan
for Its Settlement.

WASHINGTON, April 21-Repre-
sentative Sayers of Texas, who was
Chairman of the Appropriations Com
mittee in the last Democratic Congress,
and has had much experience in deal
ing with Government works, suggests a
plan for comprehensive settlement of
the Mississippi River problem.
Savers would have the United States
Government invite the engineers of the
world to consider the problem of con-
trolling the Mississippi River and to
present plans for a permanent system,
so that the Government might adopt
the ideas of the best engineering talent.
For this purpose he suggests that a
competition might be brought about by
an offer of prizes, perhaps $50, 900 for
the plan which should be considered
best, and SO, 900 for the second best
inducements sufficient to attract the
most skillful engineers of the world,
those who have dealt with such works
as the Suez Canal and the dykes of Hol-
land.

A WeathercOck Made by Paul Revere.

In taking down the steeple of the
old Methodist Church in Waterfowl,
which the Young Mems Catholic Asso-
citation is remodeling for its use, the
historic old weathercock on top of the
steeple had to be removed yesterday.
He is two and one-half feet high, with
a pewter body and copper tail. and is
said to have been made by Paul Re-
we're when about twenty years old. It
is said that the weathercock was orig
inally placed in 1865, on the old church
building that was demolished in 1887.
There is some dispute about his owner
ship, the Unitarians claiming that he
was simply loaned to the Methodists
when the latter built their church in
1S4T, while the Methodists claim that
they bought him from the town. He
will proba bly, be presented to the Wa
tertown Historical Society.-Boston
