Swayed by q Play,

An impressive instance of play that
influenced a human life comes from one
Of the northern towns, where very
striking play was being performed in
which the disastrous consequences fol-
lowing ON the love of two men for the
same woman were realistically present.
ed. A young engineer who had oonceiv-
ed a violent affection for a girl who had
resented his attentions in view of the
fact that she loved another man, who
CHANGED to be the engineers bosom
friend, witnessed this play one even
ing, and it made very deep impression
on him, as it seemed almost to have
been written to apply to his own un-
happy situation. Act by act the tragic
story was unfolded, jealousy of the dis
appointed lover ending in crime and
punishment, and when at length the
curtain fell the engineer had come to q
decision. He went home, packed up a
few necessaries and week later set
out for Australia, where, by lucky
stroke year later he made mighty
fortune He attributed all his success
to the play in question, for had he never
seen it he would never have gone away
from England, and perhaps some awful
occurrence might have arisen from his
unrequited passion. London Standard.

Where Hobson stopped While In the

closed about him, shaking his hand and
pushing him about until he was rescued
by the police and escorted to his oarri-
age.
He stopped long enough to announce
that all of sthe men who formed the
crew of the'Merrimac were safe and In
the best of health and that after he had
made his report to the navy department
he expected TO return Immediately to
New York. The officer was driven at
once to the Army and Navy club and,
after brushing himself up, he drove
over to the navy department. AS he
approached the office of the secretary
of the navy there ,ensued another
demonstration. A large crowd had
gathered about the doorway and the
hearty welcome it gave the young
officer brought bushes to his cheeks.
Secretary Long came out of his pri-
vate Office and grasping Hobson with
both hands, said with sincerity: Lieu
tenant, am glad-very glad to see
you" Then he drew him into his
office, where the lieutenant was intro
d,lced to Assistant Secretary Allen and
was greeted by Captain Crowninshield,
Captain Bradford and Pension Commits
sioner Evans, who happened to drop III.
He spent half an hour in conference
with the secretary and then returned to
the club to rest. Secretary Long stated
that Hobson did not bring the long ex-
pected report from Admiral Sampson
and his brother officers on the destruc-
ton of the Cervera fleet.
In the official order of Admiral Samp-
Son, he was told to report on the Girls
tobal Colon and bring to termination
as quickly as possible, some decision re-
garding the ship, so that, if practicable,
she might be saved.
Later Lieutenant Hobson went to the
White House to pay his respects to the
president. Secretary Long accom-.
panied HIM, the two walking over to
the executive mansion from the navy
department. The president received
them in the cabinet room. He gave
Lieutenant Hobson most cordial greet
| ing and paid him high tribute for
what he regarded as one of the most
conspicuous acts of gallantry in the
| history of naval warfare.
The lieutenant modestly acknowl-
| edged the compliment of President Nc.
Kinley and quietly turned the conver.
sation to the object of his mission to
| the United States at this time The
subject was discussed at some length,
Lieutenant Hobson freely expressing
his views upon it. After remaining
with the president for half an hour, the
secretary and Lieutenant Hobson left
the White House, the former going to
his home and the latter to the Army
and Navy club. While at the White
House Hobson gave his autograph TO
half dozen or more solicitors, although
he remarked that he could not imagine
why they desired it.
Lieutenant Hobson did not bring
with him the report of Admiral Samp-
son on the destruction of the fleet of
| Admiral Cervera, but he was the bearer
of verbal message from the admiral
to Secretary Long that the report on the
battle was in course of preparation.
Later Lieutenant Hobson left for
New York,
New YORK, July 23.--Hobson was
given warm welcome on landing here.

SAULT STE MARIE, July 23.-The
companies Of the Eighteenth Pennsyl-
vania volunteer infantry, which are
stationed at Fort Brady, cannot be or
dered away too quick to suit the people
here. Thursday night was marked by
disgraceful exhibitions on down town
streets. Armed guards of the soldiers
made pretense of gathering in their
drunken comrades, but in several cases
the guards were as drunk as those
whom they tried to arrest.
One of the squads, in trying to dis
perse the crowd used their bayonets
without cause, wounding one man and
endangering the lives Of several inof-
fensive people. 1t was a miracle that a
general conflict was averted. The off,
GERS have absolutely no control over their
men and the discipline is mockery.
The situation will be reported to the
secretary Of war.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Lieutenant
Hobson, on his arrival here yesterday,
was not met by any navy department
official.
He succeeded in escaping observation
as he passed through the train shed,
coat and umbrella in hand, and fol-
lowed by porter proudly carrying his
bag, but before he emerged from the
station some one spied him, q hurrah
went up from one throat by him and in
moment the station resounded with
vociferous shouting. The cry of Hob

British Emigration as English Writers See
1t and as It Really Is

BrltBh Emigratlon as Engnsn "riters See
1t and as 1t Really Is
England no doubt loves US dearly,
but the English authors have not yet
discovered that fact in its entirety.
Clark Russell, Max Pembertm and An
thony Hope, to say nothing of Conan
Doyle and Rudyard Kipling, will have
it that all Americans are Yankees, al
though they would resent the charge
that all Englishmen are cockneys.
Another symptom Of the drift is in
relation TO emigration from Great Brit
ain. Statistics show that an enormous
number of people come to this country
from Great Britain, but the novelists
never heard of it Micawber and his
interesting family went to Australia
and got rich. So did every other emf
grant that Dickens sent abroad, unless,
like Martin Chuzzlewit and Mark Tap
ley, they were sent to this country to
point moral and adorn a tale All
English writers resemble Dickens in
that respect. In their stories the emf
grants all go to Australia, Canada, AZ
rica-anywhere but the United States
This trait comes under the head Of
"loyalty to the crown" They know per-
fectly well that the British emigrant,
unless assisted by a British society,
takes himself and belongings to this
country, and even if the society kindly
lands him in Canada he takes the first
chance of skipping over the border. The
only time he goes to the COLONIES"

The old coasting captain was gazing
upon a crudely shaped red clay pipe

the ears Of the observant Jerseyman
with its praises

hatan pipes made in Powhatan county,
Va, out of peculiar blue clay which
is found there in little nodules and fin
ished In a peculiar way.
"The genuine Powhatan pipe can
never be found north of Baltimore and
it is easier to get one in Norfolk than
in Baltimore II you begin smoking
one, you will discard your meerSchaums

else When it gets strong, you merely
put it into the fire and burn it sweet
again The imitation Powhatan pipes
would crack TO pieces IL you try to burn
them sweet, but the genuine can be
thrust in safety right into the bright

TO let them heat more gradually"
Under the stimulus of this praise the
observant Jerseyman sent to friend in
Norfolk for half q dozen Of the pipes
After time he received them, with a
bill for 75 cents for the pipes and IS for
the trouble Of finding them.

The bay of Nipe lies on the north
coast of Cuba, almost directly across
the island from Santiago. 1t is pur-
posed to establish base there which
will save at least two days time in
getting supplies into Cuba, as compared
with the Santiago route. 1t will also
form good point of operations against
Holguin, not far distant, and if it
should develop unfortunately that q
restraining hand must be laid upon the

with Santiago would be an effective

persons familiar with that young mans
past career as somewhat melodramatic.
1t did smack of the lines which the
hero Of the five act Bowery drama hurls
at the gallery. But Bmrowe, as recent
events have shown, was very much in
earnest
His offer was made under the follow
ing circumstances: Roosevelt's troopers
had been supplied with one Of the new
and practically unknown nitroglycerin
throwers, but of all that troop of fear
less men not one wanted 10 handle it.
They were willing to face Spaniards
with Mausers, but none cared to stand
behind gun which was, according TO
common report, just as liable to be
deadly at one end as the other. Borrowe
heard of this condition of affairs and
volunteered TO manage the gun. Some
say he wanted an opportunity TO wipe
out the implication Of cowardice which
seems TO have stuck to him ever since
his connection with the famous scandal
Of several years ago
1t will be remembered that during
the first rush of Skaters division on
Santiago the report was sent out that
Borrowe had been killed. He was not
killed, though, nor even wounded, and
when Shafter prepared to lombard the
city neat little pit was excavated close
up to the Spanish lines In that pit were
placed Borrowe and his gun.
The glycerin gun is the latest devel.

looking device, with one long, lean bar

elongated gum drop but this gum drop
is far more deadly than the pink hued
