attention through your columns to the field
which is open for frst-cnss shipbuilding
yard upon the Hudson. East river, or Lower
bay, near New YorkY The prices paid for steel
by British and German shipyards are so much
higher than shipbuilders in New York would
be required to pay that the difference woul l
make, In itself, an excellent profit Plates are
worth about S2s or S.3 per ton in New

$780, Other prices are in proportion, and oil the

scAooI.eoYs lN CHAINS.
Surprising Fact Brought Out by aIasEA-
chusetts Legislative Inquiry.

BosToN, March 5---The legislative
committee on education continued the
hearing on the measure reported by
the state board of education rela-
tive to school attendance and tru.
ancy. Some remarkable facts came
out Agent Walton told of a visit
to the Essex county truant school,
Mr. Walton said he had seen one
boy with a horseweight and chain
tied to his feet and hands. Two other
boys confined in a small cellar were
chained together with a long chain.
The superintendent of the school did
not net as If 1t was any unusual thing
to have his boys chained together in
this way. The boys were ignorant,
too, not knowing what simple words
meant. At the school at Beckett, in BerlS-
shire county, Mr.. Bortwell said he
found hanging in the schoolroom a
rawhide, ball and chain and hand
cuffs. These were not in use now,
but the present uperintendent said
that when he came there he found
a boy walking about the yard with a
ball and chain on his feet. The super
intendents of these schools were, al
lowed to run the truant schools as
they pleased. These statements have
caused great sensation.

A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of spanish Lady 10 o
Lone soldier hoy.

AOhG 6WNWhGN nVSs
A recent traveller In Spain describes
d touching scene witnessed at the dcpnr-
ture of regiment for Cuba. All day
long there had been heard Che meaS-
ured trend of soldiers marching through
the street; all day long gayly bedeCkedl
boats had been passing to and from the
vessel that was to take them to Havana.
The twilight began TO deepen when the
correspondent saw startling and
pretty sight"--the impetuous action OF
portly good-looking and well-dressed
lady, who noticed young soldier walk
ing dejectedly along down the pier In
his travelling gray, with knapsaclk
strapped over his shoulders. All the
rest OF the men had friends, their
novias, mothers, relatives, and made
the usual gallant effort to look elated
and full OF hope. This lad had no one
and it might be OWNED that he was cGr-
rying desolate heart over tho seas,
The handsome woman burst from her
group of friends, took the boys hand,
and said: my son has already gone to
Cuba. He is in the regiment of Andalu-
sin, and sailed two months ago. You
may meet him, Pope g.; take this kiss
TO him" She leaned and kissed his
cheek"
An English boy would have shown
nwl1warness, but these graceful
southerners are never at loss for q
pretty gesture and prettier word
The boy blushcd with pleasure, and still
holding the lady's hand, said with quite
natural gallantry, without smirk or
silly smile; "And may not take ono
for myself as we'll, senora?" The lady
Redeemed, laughed little nervouslyp
and bent and kissed him again to the
frantic applause OF soldiers and civil
ians, while the boy walked on, brace6
and happy.-B ackwood's Magazine.

won A CUBAN VICTORY.

Guns and Ammunition Shipped from Long
Island Used to Fight spanlards.
New YORK, March 3. Reports of the
recent battle at Holguin, province Of
Santiago de Cuba, have been received
in New York. Instead of the battle
being a Spanish victory, as reported
from Havana, it was disastrous de-
feat, followed by retreat on the part
of the Spanish forces. This informa-
ton comes through Cuban sources and
is the cause for great amount of re-
joicing in Cuban circles, because the
guns and ammunition shipped from
Long Island less than a month ago
were used in the fight.
