MOSS ROSE REVIVAL.
An Old-Fashioned Flower Which Is
Again Becoming Popular

New York, July 15.-The dainty, unpre-
tentfous moss rose. which used to be Gull
tivated carefully in every old fashioned
garden and which was a favorite among
its family years ago, before American
beauties and the many modern varieties
of roses had been developed by the flor
lists, is enjoying a restoration to favor this
season Bunches of moss rosebuds are
to be seen in the windows of the principal
florist shops and more of the flowers are
being sold now than have been on the
market for many years. The blossoms
are larger and finer than they ever have
been This rose, in order to appear at It's
best must not be beyond the stage of the
half-opened bud but occasionally two or
three of the flowers in a bunch will be
nearly full blown and the contrast they
afford to the others only heightens the
beauty of both. Bunches of two dozen
moss rosebuds sci for about Is cents at
most places.
The moss rose blooms only once in the
year and always at this season. 1t has
a history which runs back 800 years, Tor
it is known to have been introduced into
England from Holland in 1896. It is a
sport or accidental bud variation OF the
Provence or cabbage rose, differing from
the latter only in the messy substance
which covers its calyx and the upper part
of its stem. The garden where It origin
ated and the name of its discoverer are
lost, the only thing certain being that to
the Dutch-for many centuries enthusi-
astic flower Iovers-belongs the credit for
starting the species.

EDDY'S NEW KITE SIGNAL.
Lantern Dropped From a Height of
600 Feet in Air.

New York. July 15.-William A. Ed
dy, the kite expert; Frederick NJ. Slater
and Harold Ramage have experiment.
ed with a new night war signal called
the shooting STAR light. Mr.. Eddy
raised two of the kites each seven feet
in diameter, to a height of 900 feet. Aft
er they were steady in the air he at
tached one end of the kite cable for
distance along the ground. To this ca
BILE was fastened a two pound lighted
cellar lantern of five candle power.
When everything was ready Mr.. Eddy
released the line on the ground and
the kites Immediately rose higher on
getting the extra rope. The lantern
shot straight upward into the air, held
by a knot in the kite cable. When Mr..
Slater gave a sharp side jar to the ca
BILE the lantern was released and de-
scended until within 20 feet of the earth
when it was run upon two spreading
cables to save it from being broken.
Mr.. Eddy says that the shooting
STAR signal can be seen at a much
greater distance if the light is at a
standstill, and holds that by the use of
variously colored lights communication
could be carried on at night between
different divisions of the army in places
without telegraph and telephone facih-
ties.

whether any good could be accom-
plished by such move, as it might
subject some of our sailors to the con-
tagiOn existing within the city.
Great attention will be now given to
the care of our sick and fever stricken
soldiers on the island. In the opinion
be treated by removal to the high
ground back of the southern coast,
where the heat is less severe, and
where recovery could proceed without
the fear of communicating disease to
the rest of the army.
Secretary Alger is anxious to bring
the entire army back as soon as it can
be done with safety to the men them
other troops in Florida and to the
general public. The active prepara-
lions made to deal with the emergency
are such that it is felt the question of
disease can be COPIED with successfully,
now that the military situation has
been simplifed in the matter of trans
ports. The department is fully pre-
pared for the next move.
The acquisition recently of a number
of transatlantic liners, capable of car
rying several times as many men as
the smaller transpOrt has put it on
an excellent footing, and it was an
nOunced to-day that no more ships
were being bought for the Atlantic
coast. Many of the transports which
carried soldiers to Cuba are now being
used for other purposes, chief among
which is that of bringing the sick and
wounded to the United States. The
ships available by the department are
distributed about as follows:
Twenty-Five at Santiago, twelve at
Tampa, three at Charleston, four at
New York, four at Key West, and the
others en- route to and from different
points.
The plan of the war department for
returning the surrendered army of Gen.
Toral to Spain will not neeessitate the
use of American vessels It is the pur-
pose of the department to ask for pro-
posals from all steamship companies
which desire to compete for the trans
porting of the Spanish troops to Spain,
and the most advantageous bid will be
accepted. The advices of Gen. Shafter
state that the number of Spanish pris-
oners will be between 120 900 and IL, 000

MAY REDUCE WAGES.
Ohio Coal Operators Fear
Another Great Strike.

Chicago. July ia meeting which
may prove to be the forerunner of an
other great coal strike in the Ohio, In
diana, and Illinois fields was held at
the Auditorium hotel. Ohio coal op-
orators attended, and the day was
taken up with a discussion of the ser
ious situation brought about by the
competition of West Virginia and Mary
land operators, who, by reason of a
lower wage scale, can undersen the
Ohio as well as the Illinois and Indiana
operators in their own fields. While no
decision was reached as to the course
to be pursued, it was the general opin-
ion that the only remedy lay in such a
reduction of wages as would enable
the operators to compete with the east
ern products.
Representatives of several railroads
interested were present, and while there
was talk of throwing the traffic to those
roads not handling southern coal, the
general opinion was the remedy would
not be found in this direction. It was
the opinion Of some that the impend-
ing reorganization of the Baltimore &
Ohio would result in higher rates, and
thus correct in part present evils It
was decided to defer definite action I'M
til the meeting in Detroit next month
Besides the Ohio operators, there were
present representatives of the firms of
w. P. Rend & Co. and j. w. Ellsworth
of Chicago.
One of the largest Ohio operators
said: 1.-THE only practical remedy at
hand seems to be reduction OF wages
It is barely possible that some changes
in the railroad situation may be
brought about which will make this
unnecessary. I am persuaded the rem
edy rests among ourselves At the time
We entered into the agreement it was
understood the miners were to bring the
Virginia and Maryland operators into
line, but they failed. do not think
we can get the roads in our territory
10 make a lower rate nor induce the
eastern roads to advance their rates on
the West Virginia and Maryland Goals.
Accordingly, the only remedy Is a re-
duction Of wages"
W P. Rend said the situation was
grave, and that the trouble was largely
due to the ruinous policy of the south
ern operators, who were wrecking the
T.ai1roads which they controlled in order
to push their Goals into this and nearby

MOST COSTLY COLLIER AFLoAr.
Brazilian Vessel Nictheroy Proves an
Extensive ACQUISITION.


Washington, D. c., July 15.-The secre-
tary Of the navy today adopted heroic
measures in attempt to rid the navy
department of its embarrassment over the
Brazilian dynamite-gun vessel NictherOy,
recently purchased at the enormous price
of $550.0O0, by ordering her to the New
York yard to be converted into a collier.
This vessel, which was formerly Ell Cid
of the Morgan line, costing $3.50 900 when
new, was purchased by Brazil during the
revolution and hAted with dynamite guns
at considerable expense. At the outbreak
of hostilities with Spain she was secured
by the United States through New York
broker, and although dismantled of her
guns and otherwise in very bad condition
she was brought to this country, evokng
nearly as much solicitude for her safety
as the Oregon.
When she arrived at Newport News she
christened the Buffalo the intention being
to fit her for auxiliary cruiser of the
Yankee-Dixie class. When she was thor
oughly surveyed by naval officers it was
found she could not be made ready for
sea duty without expenditures exceeding
$500, 900, which would bring her total cost
to a figure far in excess of that paid John
Roach for the cruiser Chicago.
When inspected by the officers of the
Wyman declined to permit any alterations
to be made in her a southern navy yards.
and insisted that in addition to tearing out
all her WOODWORK and burning it she
should be thoroughly disinfected to de-
Stroy the yellOW-fever germs which were
known to exist in her hull He also asked
that she should be sent north as soon as
possible lest she might develop and sprea d
disease at any moment.
The board of construction, finding that
nothing could be done to her within a
reasonable. price to fit her as a cruiser,
recommended that she be turned into a
collier, and she is therefore to have the
distinction of being the most expensive
however, unless the present war lasts
many months, that she can be made of
any effective service unless she is used
to block Havana harbor after the manner
of the Merrimac.

28.-'A King for a Month" applies to
Rear Admiral Dewey of the Philippines.
When he entered the service of this
country he entered it as a fighter. Now,
he finds himself in the position of adj
miraI Of the sea forces, general of the
land forces, chief surgeon of the Span
ash survivors, guardian of foreign resi-
dents, director of the insurgent army
under Aguinaldo and king of Cavite.
Any one Of these duties would keep a
man of lesser mould busy.
When Dewey rises in the morning he
looks out upon a strange sight. The
bay of Cavite stretches out before him.
His own quarters are guarded by sol
diers wearing the blessed uniform, and
beyond him are the forts and fortifica-
tions formerly occupied by the Spanish
but now in possession of the stars and
stripes. Our starry emblem floats over

AS Dewey looks out of his windows
upon his kingdom he notices that men
are scarce. When formerly Cavite and

he spends most of his time ashore,

he held the famous pass at Thermopy-
lac One false move, one impatient step
and the Spanish would gain an entrance
and once back in Cavite they could
hold it, were they fortunate to pick off
few of Dewey's men. He has had to
divide his men, half on sea, and half on
shore and there is no denying the fact
that he is anxious.
He As looking daily for the $500 men
that are on the way, and advices have
reached him of 10000 more troops which
are to be conveyed to him by the trans
portatiOn companies which have been
chartered by the government, but he
needs them now.
DeWey's day is altogether an anxious
one. He has good food to eat, for the
Philippines absolutely flow with all
good edible things. Every fruit and
vegetable obtainable in China grows
not food that worries Dewey.

Philadelphia Mining Expert Caught
In Alaskan Snow Slide.

Seattle. Wash, July 15.-News of the
tragic death of DR.. William Beard. the
noted mining expert of Philadelphia,
near the Valdes glacier, Alaska, last
May, has been received here. 1t came
in a letter from H. c. Watkins, former
~ of New York, who was with Dr.
Beard. Watkins barely escaped with
his own life.
According to Watkins letters, they
were caught in a snow slide just after
crossing the glacier. They started back
to the timber line. A small snow slide
came down and buried Beard.
Watkins escaped and for ten days he
struggled through snow day and night
subsisting on raw bacon, uncooHed rice
and rolled oats. Finally he succeeded
in reaching Valdes.
