In addition to it's other preparations
for possible trouble, the navy DEPART
ment today took steps toward utilizing
ten or the seagoing revenue cutters for
use along the coast. Capt. Shoemaker
ch1ef OF the revenue service, conferred
with Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
during the day on the plans for turn
ing ing over these cutters to the navy.
They will be first sent to Norfolk.
where additional guns will be mount
ed, and then they will become a part
Of the squadron at Key West Their
main service, however will be as
naval pickets. a chain of these fleet
cutters being maintained outside of the
cruisers and battleships.
The revenue cutter service now has
ready for instant and active service
ia line officers, IA engineers, 900 en-
listed men and 10 vessels, of which
fourteen are on the Atlantic coast Two
others are in course of construction at
Cleveland, and with rush work can be
completed ready for sea in from thirty
to forty-five days.
Ships Available.
The Manning, the Gresham, the Az
gonquin, the Onondaga and the Win
dom are all new, fast and efficient
vessels and could go anywhere and
perform any service that any vessel Of
their class can perform. The Manning
is considered an eighteen knot boat
All Of them. it is said, could be
quickly controverted into torpedo boats
or dynamite cruisers. Whether this
last move will be made is not yet defin-
itely decided.
The navy department has arranged
for the practical withdrawal of all it's
naval officers at Havana, and the
abandonment of the wreck of the Ill
fated battleship Maine. Capt c. D.
Sigsbee, Lieut.. Commander Richard
Wainwright, Surgeon L. G.. Heneber-
ger, Paymaster Ray, Chaplain John P
Chadwick, and Chief Engineer Charles
P. Howell and Naval Cadets ]. A. Hol-
den and w. T. Cluverous. who have
been in Havana with the wreck, will
return very soon.
Secretary Long said this morning, in
answer to an inquiry on the subject,
that he saw no reason for the officers
to remain at Havana much longer
and the probability was that they
would be ordered home in day Or
two. Capt. Sigsbee, he said would
come to Washington as soon as con-
venient, but as yet nothing had been
done in regard to his future duty.
1t might be necessary for Lieut. Com
mander Wainwright, who is in special
charge Of the wrecked vessel. to re-
main there short time longer, or at
least until 1t Is finally settled that the
wreck cannot be raised, and that there
is no prospect of the recovery of any
other portions of the ship or its equip
ments. 1t might be necessary also for
one of the naval cadets to remain, but
this Is not regarded as probable.

MONITORS PUT TO SERVICE
IMPORTANT STEP TAKEN BY
NAVY DEPARTMENT
Puritan and Terror Ordered to Kew
West, While Vessels of the Old
Civil War Type VIII BE Sent to
New York and Boston for Coast
Defense Duty--Cutters Are Ready
for Active Service.

for Active Service.
WASHINGTON, March %. Secre-
tary Long determined today to order
the double turreted monitors Puritas
and Terror to Key West, where they
will reinforce the squadron in those
waters. He also determined to bring
into service the eight single turreted
monitors at League Island navy yard,
two of which will be sent to Boston,
TWO to New York and four held in re-
serve at Philadelphia.
The Puritan and Terror take the
place of the battleships Massachusetts
and Texas, recently withdrawn from
the squadron at Key West
1t was stated at the navy depart
ment that this move was in accord
ance with a programme previously
agreed upon, although this programme
has not been announced heretofore.
The Puritan by many experts is re-
garded as the most formidable fight
ing machine in the navy.
The monitors ordered to Boston and
New York will proceed under their own
steam, as they are good sea boats, and
their engines are In fair condition,
capable of a speed of five to seven
knots an hour.
The orders concerning the four mon
itors remaining at Philadelphia direct
that they shall be completed and ready
for commission within the next thirty
days. In order to do this, three Of
them are to be given new boilers, and
Secretary Long approved orders for
these boilers at cost of $4,000 each.
While there is a vast difference DO
tween the old and new type Of these
peculiar naval engines Of destruction,
yet they are essentially the same, and
naval officers say that it Is a great
mistake to believe the effectiveness of
the old monitors is past. In recent
years they have been somewhat over
Swallowed by the fine cruisers and bat
tleships of the new navy. but the navy
department never has lost sight Of
them as effective coast defense vessels
in time Of need.
Monthly reports have been made on
them, and these show they are well
equipped for the service they are now
called upon to perform.
Important Step.
Another important step in the prepar-
alton for defense has been practically
decided upon by the navy department.
Since 1t has been decided that 1t will
be impossible for this government to
secure abroad a considerable number Of
warships, the navy department has had
under consideration torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyers. Investiga-
ton developed that vessels Of either
class could not be built in less than
ninety days, but the exigencies are

President Fuller, of the company,

Some even have taken our war insur-
ance for a year and for voyages as far

The term war insurance does not

TEMPERANCE REFORM.

Temperate reformers will watch
with interest the new German legis-
lation against inebreity, which will
come into force on New Years Day,
1900. The reason of the delay in max
ing the law operative is that the mea-
sure belongs to the new code of civil
law, all of which will come into force
at one time. The law will prohibit
men or women from taking part in
civil concerns, who, in consequence
of mental disturbance through drink,
or in consequence of obstinate in
ebriety, cannot conduct their affairs
properly, or bring their family into
the danger of need, or endanger the
safety of others. This drastic expert
ment is expected to wipe out the
habitual drunkard in Germany, and
already it is said that it's public pro-
mitigation is having deterrent eff
feet. In view of the fact that in
America the most successful rascals
in civil official life are total abstain
ers, our German cousins may eventu-
ally become converts to the republl-
can observation-disclosures Sun.

in cages-mostly about a quarter of
a mile distant from the river, near
the little building known as the
Painting house.
When I came to know it, neatly 70
years later, the two fine dwellings
north Of the home mansion were oc-
cupied by Audubon's sons, Victor
Clifford and John Woodhouse Audi
bon, and Madame Audubon, as she
was called, the widow of John James,
lived in the home. The place still
retained the name of 'Minniesland,
derived from the fact that her sons
always used the Scotch name Min

Madame Audubon was highly respect
ed and honored by the whole COM
munity that resided on Washington
nights. Misfortunes had reduced her
income, but had not weakened her
self-reliance, and she held a little
school for the young children who
lived in the park. The courage
which made her SO great an aid to
her husband in his natural history

Some Pleasing Glimpses of Mad
anne Audubon.

Forty years ago Audubon park was
one of the choicest places for resi-
dence in this city. 1t fronted the Hud-
son river from One Hundred and
Fifty-fifth street northwards, and ex-
tended east a fifth OF a mile toward
the Tenth avenue. No streets or
avenues had been opened through the
domain, but dozen handsome houses
were scattered through it. 1t con-
tanned many fine trees, some of which
were of giant size, and pleasant
avenue wound beneath their shade
among the different dwellings. Miss
Maria Audubon, grandchild Of the
painter and naturalist, writes Of this
secluded spot, that when he went to
it, in 1912, mo railroad separated the
lawn from the beach where Audubon
so often hauled the siere; the dense
woods all around resounded to the
songs OF the birds he so loved; many
animals (deer, elk, moose, bears,
wolves, foxes and smaller quadru-
peds) we're kept in inclosures-never

FIVE ARAB MAXIMS.

Never tell all you know; for he VINO
tells everything he knows often tells
more than he knows.
Never attempt all you can do; for
he who attempts everything he can
do often attempts more than he can
do.
Never believe all you hear; for he
who believes all that he hears often
believes more than he hears.
Never lay out all you can attord;
for he who lays out all that he can
afford often lays out more than ne
can afford.
Never decide upon all you may see;
for he who decides upon all that ne
sees often decides on more than ne
sees.-Christian Work.
