BATTLESHIP GALLEY.
NEAT LITTLE AFFAIRS PRESIDED OVER
6Y JAP COOKS.

. .,,. 6r JAF NOONo.
Despite Their Grim Surroundings Of Armor
and Armament, They Are Homelike Inside
and Provide Jack WITH Cookery Of I'm
doubted Excellence.
When the news of Commodore
Dewey's great victory at Manila was
sent over the wires 1t was recorded
that duringthe entire engagement Pay
master Martin made and served coffee
to the officers and men. 1t is difiicult
to associate a kitchen and cook with
d battleshlp, but every one OF the big
fighting monsters with Its terrible
guns and its turrets and flags has its
kitchen. It is called galley" on
board ship, and 1t is one of the most
important places on board to both the
oficers and the men.
Nothing gives an American tar such
a relish for food as the smell Of powder
and smoke
1t has become quite fashion Of late
to divide a battleship up as though it
were human, giving It brains and eyes,.
a heart and lungs, but no prominence
ii given to the galley or the man in
the galley, who is quite an important
personaee. The man in the galley is
usually Japanese, for almost every
one Of the big ships has a Jap cook
and A staff Of servants Of the same ma
tionafity. The bows wait on the Off
GERS table, dust, clean silver, carry
messages and attend to minor house,
keeping duties in a way that would nut
tho average housemaid to n great dis
advantage.
There Is a large hotel range with
splendid ovens. from which each day
the cook turns out tempting brown
loaves. and even pies and cakes; that
must make many a Jackie think OF
home. There are great conner soup
boilers and coffee boilers In which
these two items OF the menu are pre-
pared BY the gallon, Then there are
conner pots and mans on shelves in
rows. bright and shining as those in

tells. There are cupboards. too. in
which the sugar and the spices and
other cooking condiments are kent all
nicely labelled, for there Is no slip
shod housekeeping on a man-of-wa
There are other cupboards with slid
ing doors and spring locks that when
opened disclose rows of cutlasses and
rifles and great long revolvers in racks
from the floor to the ceiling.
The china, silver, and glassware
used on our American battleships are
pretty enough to delight a woman, and
women as a rule are particular about
china, The sailors have ruder ware,
but that used at the officers mess is
white and fragile, with a device Of an
anchor in gold on each piece. The
glasses, which are fixed In stationary
racks on a sideboard in the wardroom,
which. by the way. is drawing room,
sitting room, dining room, all in one,
are of cut ware and are ornamented
with a naval device. Some of the bat
tleships have gorgeous silver services,
but that ordinarily used is up-to-
date and complete set of spoons, knives
and forks in allthe different sizes. Then
there are individual pepper mills in
silver, salt cellars, and salvers, all of
which are kept in shining perfection.

proved Of Late Ysarh
Although soldering would seem to
be a more perilous business than 1t
ever was before, in consequence Of the
greater force, rapidity and range Of
weapons, and the higher power of ex-
plosIves, the result may show that
modern battles are not more deadly
than were those in the Civil War, since
an attempt has been made to counter
act the destructive forces by stouter
projections in forts and by system.
Of tactics that replaces the old solid
formations with something like the
skirmish order Of former times. It
may be, also, that the troops will fight
at further distance, allowing for the
longer carriage Of bullets and shells.

THE btLblkh IN CAHf.
millers choose to make 1t SO; camp out
fits include cooking apparatus that can
be carried on the back of one man;
the canning of meats, vegetables, and
fruits, the desiccation of other articles
OF food, and the general cheapening Of
many things that were luxuries few
years ago, make it possible to live in
camp almost as In hotel. The sub
stitution of aluminium for iron in uten-
sils is another advantage, and in gen.
eral there is tendency to both light
ness of outfit and extension Of proper
ties contained in u.
In addition 10 the articles provided
by the government in its clothing and
ration allowances, the man with gun
is now allowed to buy and have pipes,
tobacco, soap, writing materials, pens,
basins, backing brushes, silk handker-
chiefs, matches, towels, and an addi-
ton to his menu is cheese, canned
goods, dried fruits, deviled ham, pre-
serves, white sugar, lime juice, Wor-
cestershire sauce, pickles, jam, ginger,
spices, and cranberry sauce. Rum is
discountenanced in hot countries, for
1t encourages sunstroke and intensifies
other troubles peculiar to the climate.

masked robber, armed with two re- volvers, entered the saloon and grocery of John Jess at the northeast corner of First and Folsom streets last Thursday evening, and commanding the proprietor and two patrons to stand against the wall, he emptied the cash register, secur- ing 30 cents. He then ran from the saloon and disappeared down Folsom street.
 Jess was standing behind the bar when the robber entered. Drawing two revol- vers he covered Jess with one of them and trained the other on Charles Thomp- son and Tom Harris who were in the sa- loon at the time. He commanded them not to make an outcry on the penalty of being riddled with bullets. He then or dered Jess to open the cash drawer and give him the contents. Realizing that he was in the hands of a desperate man, Jess did as requested. The robber then backed out of the saloon and disappeared.
 Immediately after the robbery word was sent to the police headquarters and Detectives Ryan and O'Dea were detailed on the case. They visited the saloon, and after hearing Jess story, started after the robber. From the description given or him they are convinced that he is the man who some time ago held up a saloon keeper at Sunnyside ana got away with
 He is described as being about feet inches in height, well built, wore dark slouch hat, which was pulled down over his eyes, and a brown suit of clothes. The description given of him corresponds with
  the story of the robbery last night Jess said:
 'I was behind the counter wiping some glasses when a masked stranger entered. Thompson and Harris were standing against the bar engaged in conversation. As he opened the door he produced two revolvers, and pointing one at me said: | Throw up your hands or I will kill you' He then covered Thompson and Harris with the other revolver, and with an oath declared that he would send them to the Morgue if they made any resistance He then coolly ordered me to give him the contents of the till.
 T reluctantly compiled, as I did not know whether or not he would resort to bloodshed to gain his end. After secur- ing the money, he backed out of the sa- loon in the meantime still covering us with his revOlVers. On reaching the door he suddenly closed it and dashed down Folsom street. I immediately teIephoned to the police. but they were unable to get any trace of him. From the cool manner in which he did his work I am convinced that he is an old hand at the business l He wore black silk handkerchief about l his neck and was dressed as laborer"

Trustee Taber Says There Is Nc Money With Which to Level
 the Tower

With the burning of the murderer's body ends the Durrant case, and none Is more glad of the fact than the peo- pie of the church over which there has been so much notoriety. Their only hope now is to forget the whole affair and to remove with as little stir as pos sible everything that may bring the case again to mind.
 Talk of leveling the tower is growing again and had the trustees the neces- sary money it is not probable that 1t would long remain to tell of its horrors; but money is not so plentiful as to al- low of this being done at once, and so Tor while yet the belfry with it's broken doors and it's narrow stairway, the dull stains on the floor and the memories that will cling around it, will stand as relic of all that has passed behind its dusty, latticed windows.

 Over the main arch is placed, upon a pedestal a figure of the guardian an- gel of heaven itself, spreading her di- vine influence over the entire struc- ture. in the right hand holding a torch and in the left a crown, which are thus explained: AS the torch signifies light and wisdom and the crown is recom- pense due to superior power and vir- tue, so should humanity endeavOr, by the aid of the torch to live their en-

This represents three children in a playground, and the parents standing by, looking on. The son is represented with his bicycle, in the act of taking a spin through the park, as was his custom in life.
 The central figure on each one of the arches, also the shields and the eagle will be made of bronze.
 The arch will cost $3O, 1000. The money has been set aside and work on the arch will be begun in the fall of the year.

 Beneath this figure, and immediately above the main arch is placed an eagle, and on the four sides of the innet pill asters are placed in relief the emblems of horticulture, agriculture, commerce and industry. On the face of the outer pilaster is represented music, art, sci ence and literature.

The Committee on Brakes and Tenders of the Board of Supervisors held an ex- tended session yesterday, listening to the arguments of a number of inventors who desired to have their devices adopted on the street railroads of this city
