Say, Joe, let Thorne take care Of

his mate lift his eyebrows and whistle

Funny how mad fighting will make

snapped out orders to the boys as they
tumbled on board from the pier where
they had been waiting.
Dave was in a fighting mood. He
felt his boat Juggling to get away, and
he saw the "Conqueror' wiggling along
behind him as Thorne tried to get to
windward at the starting line. Joe"
he ordered quickly, I'm going to gybe
up on the windward of Thorne; be ready
with the sheet. You fellows ballast her
now. All ready. It's going to be close

IN HIS COUNTRY's SERVICE.
Col. G. L. Warning, Who Died of Yellow
Fever, Was a Martyr to Duty.

The circumstances surrounding the
death of Col George E. Warning, Jr.,
who fell a victim to yellow fever, con-
tracted while in the service Of his coun-
try in Cuba, were of a particularly sad
nature and have drawn forth express
sions of profound sorrow from all parts
Of the country. Col Waring returned
from Cuba, where he went In the
early part OF October as the head of a
commission appointed for the purpose
of selecting sites in the island for
camps for the army of occupation and
also for making provisions for sanitary
Improvements in the principal Cuban
cities. He laid the seeds of yellow
fever In his constitution while in Cuba,
and on his return to New York was
stricken down with the terrible disease
IN q few days. His remains We're Gre
mated.
Col WaIing was well known through
out the country as an authority on the
sanitation of cities. He was born in
Westchester County, New York, sixty
five years ago. he studied engineering
in his early days and enlisted during
the civil war. He was four years in his
country's service and made a gallant
record as q cavalry leader. During the
outbreak Of yellow fever in Memphis
in 1873 ne changed the sewerage sys-
tenn of that city. separating the house
drainage from the surface drainage,
and succeeded in checking the spread
OF the disease This system has since
been adopted in many cities in all parts
Of the world. He also became promi-
nent as street commissioner in New
York City during the administration of
Mayor Strong, and by his systematic
work made the great metropolis one Of
the cleanest cities in the world.
Col. Waring was undoubtedly the
greatest sanitary engineer in the coun-
try. He was the author Of several

THROUGH LAUNDERING WATERS
Mrs. Carroli's Peri1ous Passage
Through an Alaska Canyon.

Mrs. James Carroll, the wife of the
ex-champion lightweight, accompanied
her husband to Alaska and shared the
thrilling adventures of the men. even
to the hazardous undertaking Of shoot
Ing the rapids. The party had made all
the preparations for long trip down
the Yukon, and a good start was made,
with the wind In the right direction.
They came In a short time to Miles
Canyon, and then came q moment Of
doubt, when they deliberated rs to
whnt she should do. If she crossed by
way of the rapids, 1t meant two min
utes for the journey, while over the
mountain meant two days. Mrs. Car
roll decided the question In a few mo-
ments. She put on suit of slickers
and pulled her hat down over her eyes.
They oil took their places in the boat,
and then the men on the shore gave the
boat push and they We're off.
Mrs. Carroll had over and over again
pictured the fearful journey, but as Is
usually the case, her fnncies were not
even Approximate of the awful facts.
A swirling about hidden rocks had
been her Idea of the furious waters, the
maelstrom through which they actual
ly passed. With the others in the boat
Mrs. Carroll took a paddle and worked
like hero all the time. From the mo-
ment that the boat left the shore there
was no looking back. The angry
waters Immediately caught the boat,
tossing it like a paper shell; up, down,
sideways the craft was tossed, mo-
ment and they We're in the rapids. A
splash of ice-cold waters in the faces
of the crew, a deafening roar as of dis
tant thunder, the air grew dark, and
they were in the canyon fighting for

old fellow" he said, gently, knowing
his captains thoughts.
They were all silent as the bigger
boat tore along beside them, the sea
snoring heavily under her Prov like the
deep laugh of a sea creature. 1t would
mean 80 much 10 win that race. Both
boys felt that more depended on it than
they had thought-whoever won the
cup won something else with 1t. And
somehow Dave couldn't help feeling
that Thorne would do anything rather
than be defeated. Just see If he doesn't
do something queer before this is over"
he thought as they swept on over the
rolling, windy sea. "Just wait, though,
until l get around that first buoy with
the wind behind me. I've chance

Poor Dave, not great chance. Even
after they had started on that long sec

much, luck was against him. The
northeast wind was as fierce as ever.

to Preach to Sailors.
About the time the war between the
United States and Spain had ended a
little craft bearing a message of peace,
and captained by little lady of Eu-
rope, arrived In this country. The vessel
was the mission ship Duen, and her
captain was Adeline, Countess Schim-
melmann, daughter of one of the proud
est peers of Denmark and favorite Of
the Empress of Germany, grandmother
of the present Emperor William II.
The Countess came to preach the
gospel to American sailors. To Ameri-
can sinners her grace would probably
say, but primarily her efforts are d.
rected toward the conversion of the
scattering man. Her little 80-foot boat,
with Old Glory floating In the breeze at
the masthead, is manned by picked
crew and q staff of servants. Since

Thorne nodded to the drifting boat,
already circllng In the edge Of the

"Never mind, then, they'll find out

long faint shout from the baffied "Fleet-

aovERNMENT MUST ooNTRoL RAILWAYS.

GOVERNMENT NUS CONTROL RAILWAYS.
The merchant, the manufacturers,
and the farmer, working under condi-
tons of industrial liberty, do not seem
to require any peculiar supervision on
the part of the State, for competition
is adequate to insure relative justice as
between custom, as we'll as the sale of
goods at q fair price. But in the rail
way industry, competition does not
work SO b~eneficient q result. On the
contrary such ia it's nature that it inn.
poses upon railway managers the ne
ceesity of disregarding equity between
customers, and OF fixing rates without
considering their fairness, whether
judged from the point of view of cost
or social results. Were this not true
there would be no railway problem.
But what, it will be asked, is there
peculiar about the business Of trans
portation which renders'it superior to
the satisfactory control of competitionf
The railway industry is an ok
tensive, and not an intensive indus
try. 1t conforms to the law Of 'in-
creasing" returns rather than to the
law of constant" or of ''diminishing'
returns. This being the case, ability
to perform q unit of service cheaply
depends more upon the quantity of
business transacted than upon atten.
ton to minute details. Another way
of saying the same thing is that the
expenses incident to the operations of
a railway do not increase in proper,
ton to che increase in the volume Of
traffic. As an industrial fact, this
does not pertain to the business Of the
manufacturer, the merchant, or the
farmer, but is peculiar to the business
of transportation; and it is adequate,
when properly understood, to explain
why all advanced people, without re
gard to the form of government they
may have adopted or the social theo-
ries they may entertain, have sur
rounded the administration of rail
ways with peculiar legal restrictions.
The necessity of some sort of govern
ment control lies in the nature of the
business itself.
