navy. Ever since she vas launched al
tho Norfolk navy yard in 1892 she has
had the very worst of luck-until Capt.
Philip was assigned to her, less than a
year ago. Even while the Texas was
building several men were fatally hurt
while at work upon her, and one me-
chanic plunged to death from her
deck.
Her engines were burned in a fire
at the Richmond iron works. and her
bronze propeller was broken, and her
first trip. Every turn she took she
seemed to go awry. She swamped a
schooner in her first dock trial, one Of
her turrets very nearly sank her while
at the dock, and while dry-docked in
November, 1895. it was found that she
had structural weakness that cost
$125.000 to remedv-
Every one of the Texas trial trips
was unfortunate. In one of them her
eccentric strap got hot, in another her
condensers would not work, in another
her wheels wobbled and in a fourth
her steering gear was broken. She
lost one of her anchors atTompkins-
vile and had other minor mishaps
without end.
After this accident Capt Glass was
relieved from the command Of the
Texas and Capt. Philip was assigned to
her. Even then she made one more at
tempt to prove hoodooism by running
afoul of coral reef near the Dry Tor
tugas. This was in March of the pres
ent year, but the injuries were so tri-
fling that she was put to sea again in
a few weeks. Since then she has be-
haved herself The mistaken faith and
Christian fortitude of Capt Philip was
too much for hoodooism

In every position Capt. Philip has
given good record for himself. Thus,
eyewitnesses of the battle of Santiago
bay state that during the fierce fight
this typical Yankee commander stood
on the bridge Of the Texas and direct
ed the operations of his vessel person
ally from the be~inning to the close
of the memorable running engage
ment. He just escaped being blown
to pieces once by the explosion of
shell, mere accidental change in his
position being all that saved him.
Contrasts have been referred to re-
peatedly in this brief sketch of
Christian sailor. There is another con
trast yet, the one between the deep re-
ligious feeling of the commander and
the popular superstition attaching to
his ship. The Texas has been account

was made midshipman in 1861, and
passed through all the grades to his
present rank. his commission dating
from March 81, 1889. He was in active
service all through the civil war, and
after the close of the latter was trans
ferred to the Asiatic squadron as exec
utive officer. Subsequently he served
with the European squadron, and
since that time his service has been
diversified. During leaves Of absence

dashes. The idea Of Gustavus Adolf
plus invoking blessing from above In
front OF his regiments before opening
battle, or of the roundheads Of the
Cromwellian age, so well delineated by
Walter Scott, had always something
strange in it. The admonition to
trust to Cod was generally associat-
ed with the mundane advice, "and keep
your powder dry" as Col. Blacker adj
vised his "boys." In short, fighting,
both by sea and land, has been coupled
more with his satanic majesty than
with anybody else. The God Of bat
ties usually came in for His share be-
fore the fray to assure His assistance
or afterward to express gratitude.
1t is certainly not the least insignlfi-
cant experience of the present war that
officers in high command think of the
God Of battles" when the fray is on.
No doubt many a commander is true
Christian, but few will have the true
manhood to avow their religious senti-
ment while shells are bursting and
bullets are whistling around their ears

HooDooED TO A MADHoUsE
This Woman Is Sure Spell Was Thrown
Upon Her.

Upon Her.
| Hannah Gray has been hoodooed in
to the madhouse. Hannah is a moth
erly-looking, mild-mannered, good-na
tured old colored nanny from New
Madrid, and is stopping at the city
hospital en- route to an asylum for the
insane. The sheriff of New Madrid is
on her trail, and has telegraphed ahead
to have the wor<an held for him. Han
nah and her "old man." as she calls
him, are well-to-do colored people, and
when she left home yesterday morning
she carried of the family's savings
bank, stocking full of coins. That's
the reason the sheriff wants to capture
her. She left home because none OF
the New Madrid doctors could remove
the ''varmints" which she insists live
move and have their being in her vi
tails, and having heard of DR.. Suffers
skill, came here to consult him. The
doctor hadn't the time to inquiry fully
into Hannah's troubles when a Star
man visited the hospital last night, but
he is of the opinion that her only all
ment is aggravated superstition. She
has lived SO years in the firm belief
that there are such things as hoodooes,
and gets violently angry when their
existence is questioned. Only when
she is engaged in such conflicts of
toms. Notwithstanding this apparent
simplicity DR.. Suffer fears the case is
incurable, because the mental impress
sion of such long standing becomes
positively fixed. Hannah was in a
very communicative mood when the
reporter visited the cells last night,
and among other things she said: "All
this trouble l have in me comes from
two lazy niggers that I've lived next
to for thirty years. My old man got
a mortgage on their farm and lenl
them money. They would spend from
SIS to $50 at time until they had spent
the whole farm. Then my old man
said he was going to close down on
the mortgage. In less than a week

right away Sally Jones did it. That
was seven years ago. One day I went
over to Sally,s house and asked her
what she done it for, and she said,
Cause your old mans gwine to sell us
out l goes back home and lay the
case before him and explains that if
he sells out the farm he kills me. Well
he agrees not to sell if Sally agrees
not to poster me. l wusnt troubled
no more till year before last, when
Sally's old man died. Then I took
sick again in less than a month, and |
every month / gets worse. You see,
Sally is after my old man, and if she |
gets me out of the way she thinks |
she'll get him. I've got every kind of |
worm and bug and varmint there is
in my stomach, and nothing won't get
them out but to cut me open. I've tried
