1t was a quiet New England town situated
near Boston. The electric cars passed swiftly

,, the glistening rails to the great city of hustle
and confusion. Here in the comfort and
peace of the home everything was quiet and
placid. Hardly a sound stirred the atmos-

The mother and daughter were alone. The
| loving husband and father died two years
before and big-hearted Jack. working in a
nearby factory, had since then been the
mainstay of the family. Alice was only IL
and, as yet, was attending school. Jack, the
only son, was a boy in spirits, a man in age.
He had just passed his 22d birthday.
Graduating from the high school at is he
entered the factory and had risen success
fully from office boy to bookkeeper and then
to superintendent of one of the departments.
Six months before the war broke out Jack
entered the local military, company and his
enthusiasm for the work so carried away his
fellow soldiers that when the office of cap

to fill the position. And fill it he did, in
such a manner that it soon became one Of the

The first notebook Of Mozart, the great

his elder sister were on a visit to England.
The boy Mozart was then only 4 years old,

pay is $1,000 per year. This is the
position in which the distinguished
surgeons mentioned at the beginning
of this article find themselves: but

from two to ten times that sum in

sclIey Meets Cervera.

Orr SANTIAGO DE CuEA, july l.
On the return Of the cruiser Brooklyn
to the blockade off Santiago dc Cuba
on the evening Of July ), the iowa re-
ported to Commodore Schloy that Ad-
miral Cervcra. the commander Of the
Spanish fleet. was on board. Tie
Commodore at once went over to pay
his respects. The Spanish Admiral
was much cast down by his defeat.
but preserved dignificd and ccurtc-
Gus demeanor Notwithstanding. He
said he deeply appreciated the fact
that the men OF the Brooklyn did not
exult by cheering when it was learned
that he was prisoner Oil the Iowa.
He replied in response to Commodore
Schley's remark that it was the for
tune of war: Yes, but I've lost my
career now that I've been defeated. >
Commodore Schlcy, however, told
him that such brave deed as bring
ing out his squadron could never be
looked upon otherwise than as most
gallant feat; upon which Admiral
Cervcra threw his arms around the
Commodore, and said: All, sailors
always arc gentlemen.
Hc then said he thought his dead
would number probably $50, though
he could not tell definitely.
He spoke Of the accuracy and dead
illness Of the Brooklyns $ fire, saying
that in the early part OF the action
one Of her shells had traversed the
entire length Of the gun deck, killing
and wounding many On the Vizcaya
alone there were 10 men killed.
Admiral Cervcra said he feared the
losses might be greater than he antici-
pated, for many men were below the
protected deck, aud when the ships
were on fire it must have been difficult
for them to escape. Hc added that
all his captains had been killed or
wounded; but later it was found that
the Captain of the Cristobal Colon was
saved.
Admiral Cervera also said he had no
doubt that at least three Of the ships
would have gotten away had it not
been for the Brooklyn, the Oregon
and the Texas.

the flag is to Fly.
Ne,c YORK; Times.

slent in nnace for untold ares.

Haleakala on the island of Maui has
slept in peace for untold ages.
SOIL woNDRoUsLY FERTILE.
The soil that has been forming for
centuries on these volcaric mounds
and coral reefs is very rich, in many
cases there are five or six feet of pure
loan. The vegetation is luxuriant.
There are frequent showers, and on
the sea level the thermometer ranges
from 20 to 80 degrees. At upper
levels, about 5000 feet, the tempera-
ture Huctuates between 40 and rs de-
grees.
Probably 80 per cent Of the vege-
table product of the islands is sugar,
although the cultivation of rice, coffee
and tobacco is not neglected.
Sugar cane is grown from the sea
level to high elevations. Forty years
ago the production of sugar was less
than 10000 tons. In 1880 it was
$4,000 tons; in 1855 $4,000; in 1896,
227 900, and in 1897, nearly half a
million tons. The increase is princi-
pally due to American machinery and
to the reciprocity treaty of 1876,
which gave new live to the sugar in
dustry.
GARDENING VERY PROFITABLE.
Gardening is carried on in the
islands for the benefit of the steam
ship lines whose vessels pass on their
way to Australia, China and Japan.
Nearly all the fruits and vegetables
grown in the United States grow
there to enormous size. The kitchen
gardening is done by Cinnamon and
Portuguese, who make very large
profits.
The tobaccoo crop in 1910 was 80, 900
pounds, and few years later it was
10000 pounds. Vast quantities Of
the leaf are consumed by the natives.
In 1897 the United States imported
from the islands products to the value
of SIS, ,46O,O9 while the exports to
the islands amounted only to s., ,464,-
2OS. The financial condition of the
islands may almost be expressed in
single line: Revenue, sl,975, ,S21.SS;
expenditures, 81. .904, 1902.

with Captain Eulate, of the Spanish

''The entire squadron was ordered

Brooklyn, because it was believed
that she was the only ship in the
American squadron that could over

teen minutes I saw she was on fire.
The Oregon and Iowa we're firing on
the Oquendo, and as yet I had not
been badly hit.
s'The Brooklyn was half mile
closer to us than any other ship, and
1 determined to try to ram her so that
the Colon and Oouendo could get
away, and l started for her. She was

would get her, but she had evidently
seen us and turning about, making a
short circle, came at our port side so
that I thought she would ram us. L
moved in toward shore SO that | could
avoid her, and then I saw that the
Oquendo had gone ashore also, her
steam pipes evidently having been
severed by shell.
''The maneuver of the Brooklyn
was beautiful. We opened rapid
fire at her with all our big guns, but
she returned it with terrible effect.
The Oregon also hit US several times,
but the Brooklyn's broadside, crash
ing into our superstructure, simply
terrorized the men. We worked all
our guns at her at one time, and | do
not see how she escaped us. She
simply drove US into shore at one
time, fighting US at l, 100 yards. One
shell went along the entire gun deck,
killing half the men on it and wound
ing nearly all tie rest.
''The Brooklyn prevented me from
getting away, for could have beaten
the Oregon out. as I had two-mlle

Making Gas for War Balloons.

TAMPA, Fla, July 10.-A gas plant
is just being completed by the Gov
ernment here. The work is in charge
of Major Reber, who is attached to
the signal corps. Gas will be made
here and placed in cylinders and sent
to Cuba for use in the balloons; it
having been determined that this can
be done better than by taking the por-
table part over. Besides the big
thirty-foot observation balloon, num-
Der of small, seven by ninerfoot bal
looms: are to be sent over. These
small ones are not for observation, but
for signalling. Each one will be
painted different color, and one will
be anchored over each division Of the
army. SO that the whereabouts of each
will be shown to the other and there
will never be any possibility of one
firing on the other. This method Of
keeping track of the different COM
mands is very highly regarded by army
officers.
