MARCIA. Mote. . Eamou. Quaker Artist.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

RICHMOND, Ind, Feb. 2s.,,Mareus, Mote. the
famous Quaker artist. died at the Eastern In
sane Hospital. near this city, last night. He was
81 years OF age. Six months ago he was placed
in tho asylum a total mental wreck, and since
that time his decline has been very rapid.
Marcus Mote was one OF the unique char
acters Of the West. He was born IN Montgomery
Carolinas. and Quakcrs in the ~strlctest sense:
Before he was IS years old young Mote displayed
Ing. that to cultivate such talent would be
sinful. tried TO discourage. the SON.. IL was of
little avail, however, for the youthful Marcus
that came In reach. and he finally manufac-
tured paints from different sorts OF vegetables.
When a young man striving to reach fame as
an artist he was at Lebanon. o., and there met
Thomas COrwin. He became intimately ac-
quainted with. the statesman and painted his
portrait, which now hangs In the State House
at Columbus.
Nearly forty years ago he came to Richmond.
He opened up a studio. and his success was evil
dent from the start. He took an active interest
In all public affairs. ms well MS the business OF
his Church, and was regarded MS one OF the
most prominent Friends in the State. II was
Marcus Mote who was instrumental In having
tho bill passed in tho Legislature Of this State
which compelled tho schools 10 teach drawing.
In later years Mote did little in his studio.

Now one OF the council rose and said:

This speech was received with loud shouts of
approval, since no Phmnician audience would be
willing to sacrifice its interests for n thing so
trivial MS the happiness OF q woman:

that none of them would leave the city alive.

FRITZ rs A GRAVEYARD DOC.
Wa born In n Cemetery and Has Attends
Moro Than 1000 FunrraIG

From the Philadelphia Times.
Fritz is not n prepossessing dog by any means.
He is not n thoroughbred. and he is not well
groomed. but in his own line there is not a dog
In tho whole country like him. That line 10
gravcyards, and Fritz is a graveyard" dog.
He has been TO over 1000 funerals. and will
probably see as many again before he himself
joins the great majority of dead CANNES. r
Six years ago Fritz was born in the American
Mechanics Cemetery, at Twenty-second and
Diamond streets. Tho exact place of his birth
was under tho little chapel where the last
prayers are said over tho dead. and in this NAL.
anChOiy atmosphere Fritz grew up. His broth
ers and sisters. three in number. were not SO
stolen or, unable to stand the depressing infu.
encc, ran away. Fritz's, mother also disap-
pearcd. and he was left alone, Since then his
disposition has been melancholy.
Perhaps from disappointment. perhaps from
a morbid taste imbucd by his solitary life, Fritz
at two years old began TO attend funerals. No
ono objected, his behavior was above reproach,
and gradually the picture of tn. little black aiy.
white dog, walking mOurnfuIy along in his
favorite position just behind tho coffin. grew
familiar. Now II has come to pass that no fu"
neral is complete without Fritz. just as soon
as the chapel bell rings, no matter where Fritz
is. he PUSHES to the spot from where he knows
the coffin will bn taken. However excited no
i, he never nnTEs' ~ and mSy sxfIePl whII he Is out
Usually, also, he lies down by the gravedigger
when a grave is being. opened, and n story 70
men that during one rainy night Fritzs. loud

continually. NJ one PAID any nite4'lom t1it,
but next morning FrtZ was found beside a
grave Which had been made the afternoon be.

u" The ThuS1IE es, Thing about Fritz is that no matter
whether IL is a so funeral, with Just a heaIso
and no carriages, or u $3.50 funeral. with TWEEN

THE DOOR TO THE NAVY-ENTRANCE TO
BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.
men and boys to our naval force each
year, but the $50,0OO,O0O emergency
appropriation makes the extra enlist
| ment possible.
Heretofore recruiting for the United
| States navy has been done exclusively
on the receiving ships. These are sta
toned at the navy yards in Brooklyn,
Charlestown, Norfolk, Washington,
Philadelphia and San Francisco. Now,
however, the fresh water sailors are to
be given chance. BY recent order
from the navy department naval recruit
| ing stations are to be established at va
| rious river and lake ports in the west
and south.
Although Uncle Sam is badly in need
of men for the navy, even in these times
when the wave Of patriotism has swell
ed the number of applications to more
than ten times the usual size, he is not
willing to accept anybody that comes
along. The man who is under 5 feet
may be a great deal Drawer and much
more patriotic than the hulking big fell
low who stands feet in his stocking
feet, but the little man will be rejected
and Uncle Sam will wait until the big
fellow makes up his mind to serve his
country at $16 month.
No matter where he signs articles,
the naval recruit finds that the real door
to the navy is the imposing Sands street
entrance to the Brooklyn navy yard, for
1t is to that point that all newly enlist
ed men are shipped. Before he gets
mess number on one of the new war
ships he must first take a course of
training on Cob's island, which is a
part of the Brooklyn navy yard. While
there he makes his home in the pictur-
esque hulk of the old Vermont, which
for nearly score Of years has done
duty as training ship.
The man who aspires to wear blue
shirt and draw government pay soon
discovers that Uncle Sam is a critical
employer. The first representative Of
the government whom an applicant
meets after he has passed the vigilant
marine doing sentry duty is the recruit

have keen eye and a sharp tongue,
and if the patriot has acquired the idea
that he is about to confer favor on his
country he soon forgets it,.
He is first asked to state his age and
nationality. No man who does not I'M
derstand and speak the English Ian
guage can be enlisted, and preference is
given to those who can read and write

to donate a trial of his infallible cure.
Science daily develops new wonders,

by Heartfelt letters of gratitude,' filed

of sea life, he may be enlisted as lands
man, the lowest rating, at the pay Of
$40 month. If he is an honorably dis
charged apprentice, or if he can
prove that he has been at sea two years,
he may be taken as an ordinary seaman.
The age for this rating is from Is to 30
years.
To insure the enlistment of none but
competent men III this branch the APP
plicant is turned over to the boatswaln
for examination as to his abilities. He
must show himself proficient in reefng,
steering, knotting and splicing and In
various other details Of the sailors
craft. This. it will be observed. Is In
the case Of a recruit for the Ordinary
seaman" class. If he aspires to be q
''seaman, which is higher rank, he
must be between the ages Of al and 30,
must have been at least four years at
sea before the mast and must pass still
more rigorous examination In seaman
ship Ordinary geamen are paid $19
month and seamen $24.
On the modern war vessels the posi-
tion of the machinist is a highly impor-
tant one, and is much. Better paid than
that of seaman. Candidates for this de-
partment must understand the machin-
lists trade thoroughly as that is practic-
ed on land and must know the names
and uses of the various parts Of marine
engines If man has had no experience
in the engine rooms at sea, he Is enlist
ed as machinist Of the second class,
pay $40 month, and if he has had a
years training with marine engines he
is eligible to the first class, pay $50.
When the recruiting officer is satisfied
that an applicant is fitted for certain
rating, he sends him Immediately to the
doctor, to be examined as to his physical
condition. Many are rejected at this
stage, for the naval surgeons are strict.
In the long list Of physical defects, any
one of which will disqualify recruit,
are, besides various chronic diseases,
deafness, poor sight, marked impedi-
ment Of speech and unsound teeth.
Many recent applicants have failed to
come up to the standard in this last par
ticular. The general development and
constitution are also taken into consid-
Grafton, only intelligent men Of robust
frame being desired for the service. If
passed by the doctor, the recruit then
signs an agreement to serve for three
years.
As soon as they are finally enrolled,
the recruits are supplied with outfits OF
clothes, for which they themselves must
pay. Their food is served out to them IN
regular rations, in the same way as If
Morris tribune., 1898-04-13


they were at sea. His pay, his food and
his lodging are the emoluments which
Jack receives from the government. He
also has free medical attendance If he IL
sick, but clothes and extras he must
buy out Of his pay.
He is next sent to the Brooklyn navy
yard, where he may remain for weeks
or months. The length Of his stay there
depends upon the demand for men. In
the meantime he is trained. He spends
several hours each day In various exer-
cises which develop his muscles and
quicken his understanding. He learns
to obey orders and appreciate beans as
a staple article Of diet.
But even after weeks Of this sort Of
thing he is still a landsman. He doesn't
realize this, however, until a new ship
goes into commission and he is told off
as one Of her crew. Then he begins to
learn the intricaoies Of the business. It
takes him a week or more to learn to
sleep comfortably In a hammock and
longer than that to tumble out, trice
up his hammock neatly and dress him
self within the limit Of ten minutes al
lowed from the time the first notes Of
reveille sound at daybreak.
In time he acquires sea legs and the
art of making trousers that flt around
the hips, as none Of those issued by the
navy department. ever do. In the course
Of three years he is thorough man o.
wars man and Is ready to leave the
service, which he generally does. Why2
Well, mainly because there is nothing
to look forward to. There is in our navy
absolutely no chance at all of promo
tion. We train our naval officers up as
If they were superior beings to the men
they are to command. We foster an off,
oial aristocraoy whichpreserves it's lines
Of caste as jealously ASIDE the Brahmans.
A cockney bus driver has more chance
Of becoming peer Of the realm than
has an American sailor Of attaining a
commission In the navy.
There is nothing new about this, for
the system upon which our navy is
managed has often been criticised, but
the men who sign articles do not always
thoroughly understand what an impass-
able gulf there is between the common
sailor and graduate OF the Naval acade-
my who lives In the' warnoom aft. He
knows alLabout it when he has served for
shree years, and if ha has left spark of
ambition he goes into the merchant ma
sine service, where there Is always a
,hanoe to rise, or else quits the sea and
