IN fact, n of the prettiest young women
In all St. Louis, and there are lots of pretty
girls in that city. Her father, the late Lee
L. Arnold, was a wealthy and respected
citizen of St. Louis. The head of the fam.
lily is her brother, Fred Arnold, to whom
she win nave to explain the kissing cpl
sode when next they meet. Miss Arnold's
mother is travelling with her daughter and
was with her at the time she met the gal
liant lieutenant at the Long Beach hotel.
Miss Arnold's beauty has been described
with surprisingly conflicting details, but
here is a description which comes straight
from her home and ought to be accurate
ssShe has O plump, well rounded figure,
graceful in motion and not too tall in
stature. She possesses abundant hair of O
rich, reddish brown, which she wears sim
ply arranged rolled back from a straight
white brow. Her eyes are large and
brown, and her complexion faultless.
Miss Arnold's skill and taste in gowEs
have become proyerbial among her friends

that are invariably chic and moro than

cells in dancing and is also a skillful
bowler.
Miss Arnold's accomplishments are not
all those of indoor life by any means. She
is q good shot with a rifle and frequently
goes off on hunting trips with her brother.
Mr. Fred Arnold is very proud Of his sis.
ter's shooting ability, as he taught her
when she was quite a little girl, hardly
strong enough to hold a gun. Miss Ar
nold's greatest pet is o big brown pointer
that is frequently seen trotting along be-.
hind her as she goes about.
If you do not believe that Miss Arnold
is really kissable, a glance at the accom-.
panying picture ought to convince you.

Wonderful Mirage.

One of the most pronounced and
pleasing mirages that was ever seen
from Rochester was noticeable recent
ly, and, through the peculiar powers of
the strange freak of nature, Canada's
shore could be plainly seen with the
naked eye, as could also what appeared
to be the woods on the shore of the
northern boundary of old Ontario. In
the north it was clear and the pink sky
showed Between the pink and the
American shore of Lake Ontario could
distinctly be seen the opposite shore of
the great body of water The lake is
about sixty miles wide directly opposite
Rochester, so that those VINO saw the
mirage looked through about sixty
seven miles of space and saw land.
With the aid of glass the trees on
the opposite side could be seen to bet
ter advantage. The long strip Of lead
colored shore and the water contrasted
well with the pink sky beyond, the
whole forming a pretty picture. No
boats were to be seen on the lake, how
ever Lake Ontario seemed to be little
wider than the Genese above the city
and it was difficult for some to believe
that they really saw Canada.
Those who keep track of the strange
things called mirages say that every
year about this time one can be seen.
They come just as the storms are dis

Admiral Sampson was the son of .

came into the world 48 years ago, when
his parents were in rather Strengthened
circumstances. However, they were
able to let him get the rudiments Of an
education in the public schools, and it
aroused fierce appetite for learning.
He did his share toward the main
tenance of the family by splitting wood,
raking hay and doing any chores he
could find to do among the neighbors;
but he kept on going to school. The
desire to get an education, to be some-
thing, was strong within him.
The lads industry and indomitable
pluck attracted attention. Congress

Ensign Worth Bagley was born and
reared in Raleigh, N. C. He came Of
good American stock. His grand
father was Jonathan Worth, Governor
of North Carolina. His father, w. II.
Bagley, was for twenty years Clerk of
the Supreme Court of that State.
Worth Bagley was born in 1874, and
received his earlier education at the
Raleigh Academy. After a competi-
tive examination. he was appointed to
the Naval Academy in 1891, and was
graduated four years later.
Having served or the Maine until
Nov. %, 1897, young Bagley was or
dered to the Columbian Iron Works,
Baltimore on duty In connection with
the construction of the Winslow When
the torpedo boat was put in commits
sion he was attached to her and so re-
mained to the moment of his death.
John Varveres, the oiler on the Wins

The practise adopted by the French
Navy for the preservation of boilers not
in use is different from that generally
In vogue. and it is worth at least MAX
ing a note of. They seem to take the
bull by the horns. Instead Of emptying
the boiler they fill it completely full Of
fresh water and then add to the water a
certain amount of milk of lime or soda.
The solution used is not so strong for
boilers with small tubes. 1t is intended
to be just sufficient to neutralize any
acidity Of the water. Particular atten-
tion is given to the outsides of the
tubes IL they are not to be used for a
long time They are painted with red
lead or coal tar as far as they are ac-
cessible, and for the rest a protective
coating is obtained by burning tar, the
smoke of which will form coating Of

AMERICAN CAVALRY.
FOREIGNERS SAY 1T is UNSURPASSED
BY ANY ARMY IN THE WORLD.

Cavalry of the Regulars Has Seen Much
Service OH the Western Plains-The Life
is Somewhat More Arduous Than That OF
the Infantry.
Competent authorities, foreign OBJ
servers, have said that the cavalry OF
the United States army is unsurpassed
in the world, no matter what may be
said to the contrary by those who are
admirers of the Cossacks. This is by
reason of the fact that the cavalry of
the regulars has seen much service on
the Western plains, where they are
most generally kept and in active ser.
vice. 1t is continual practice in actual
service that makes capable cavalry
men.
The life of cavalryman is somewhat
more arduous than that of a member
Of the infantry in that he must care
for his horse, see that he is fed and
watered, look after his toilet and keep

portunity to try for the Naval Acad-
emy. He passed his examination with
flying colors and was graduated with
honors in 1860. He stood higher than
Commodore Schley, who was in the
same class.
He early realized the Importance of
good social connections to a young man
who has to make his. way in the world,
and he made the most of the oppor-
tunities that came in his way. He
was good tennis player, and the
young ladies invited him to their par
ties on that account. He was of re-
firing, almost taciturn disposition, but
he tried hard to overcome it, and made
many friends and an advantageous
marriage.
In appearance he is of medium
height, neither stout nor thin, with
keen, bronZed face and an ample sup
ply of whiSkers-not a handsome man,
like Dewey, but as good looking as the
average. He has not seen anything
like so much sea service as Dewey.
The work assigned to him has given
him more opportunity to make repu-
tation on land. He was Executive Off
Ger on the Patapsco when she was
blown up in the blockading fleet be-
fore Charleston. but he was lucky
enough to escape without injury. That
made him talked about all over the
country as much as Capt. Sigsbee when
the Maine was blown up.
Later he was Superintendent of the
Naval Academy where he made such
a good reputation as a cadet Since
the new navy was started he has had
command Of two vessels-the San
Francisco and the battleship Iowa. He
has climbed where he is by sheer force
Of ability. All honor to him.

SPANISH HOPE
It Is Based on Coercion of the Cuban

afternoon between the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs. Senior Gullon. at Mad
rid, and Mgr. Merry del Val. the pope 5
private chamberlain, with the view OF
drawing up, with the consent of the pope,
the exact terms of the armistice for Cuba,
which will be proposed, it is said, by the
pope, Immediately after the terms are
drawn up. And the hope is expressed al
the atican that 1t will be agreed to by
the authorities at Washington. In clerical
circles 1t appears to be understood that
President Mckinley may bring pressure to
bear upon the insurgents to induce them
to accept an armistice, and 1t Is understood
the holy see will exert similar influence,
through the episcopacy in Cuba. 1t Is
hoped here that the armistice proposed
will be definitely drawn up tomorrow or
Thursday.
The Vatican authorities this evening alb.

ton relative to the dispatch which Presi-
