rHEIR RECKLEss DARING.

II has been but a Jew days since we
were informed by the newspapers OF
New York that the shad fishermen had
been cutting the submarine mine cables
I'm that harbor because they interfered
with the drift Of their nets. They were
warned that ii they did it again they
would be arrested and fined and that
after that they would be shot If caught
in the act The supreme recklessness
Of the act of these fishermen caused
hearty laugh to go all over the coun-
try. but Washington advices indicate
that the masters of large ships are al
most as reckless. 1t is stated that re-
ports received by General Wilson, chief
of engineers, show a reckless disregard
of the published regulations for the
protection of shipping and the mines
and torpedoes recently located at the
principal harbors on the Atlantic coast.
These regulations, which were intend
ed as much for the safety Of the ship
ping as for the mines, prohibited yes
sells from entering or leaving ports be-
tween sunset and sunrise, except by
epeoial permission. Wherever possible
patrol boats were located at the en-
frances Of the harbors to warn vessels
not to attempt to enter the harbor dur
ing the night or during the daytime
without proper guides. The precau-
lions have been disregarded in several
instances, and the engineer officers ex-
press surprise that they were unat-
tended by loss of life or the destruction
Of property. The other day q vessel en-
terlng the harbor Of Baltimore got her
screw entanged in the cable that had
been laid to connect the sunken mines
with the shore batteries. The cable
was dragged about ZOO feet before it
became disconnected from the screw
and for some unknown reason the
mines did not explode. The engineer
officers were put to considerable
trouble and expense in relaying the
cable in it's proper place. A similar
incident occurred in the harbOr Of New
York last night, when an incoming
vessel dagged the cables and displaced
several mines. Considerable damage
was done to the system, but it is re-
markable that none OF the mines ex-
ploded and the vessels themselves es'
capped injury. Owing to lack Of funds
the engineer department is not able t
maintain effective patrol over thu
waters of New York harbor, but effort
will be made to induce navigators il
that vicinity to respect the regulation
Of the department in regard to thi
matter, as otherwise some serious cas-
ualty is sure to occur. Probably tn
fact that none has occurred already i
due more to good luck than good man
agement, In that vessels which dragge,
the cables and disturbed the mines di
not come into actual contact with tn
explosives. 1t is an evidence that fool
of merchantmen rush in where Spanis
war dogs fear to tread.

is an original etching by b. Schuma-

member of Lincoln Post G. A. r., died at

sons. His wife died thirteen years ago in
March, and since then he had held his fam

His case had been most remarka BILE
Cne, it is said. 1t is doubtful. his friends
say, IL there is another human being in
this city who has lived through the phys
ioa1 suffering and weakness that he has.
He is described as having been a walk
ing skeleton. Only last Thursday he ap-
peared usual at his desk in the Indian
bureau, but was weak that he could
stay only short time.
His memory of details was very remarka-
bic, and his signature affixed to official
papers within a few days is as firm and
clear as it ever was
The day before he died he wanted to go
to the office. and was dressed as usual by
his sons for the journey, but he proved to
be too weak, and said so. A few hours
later he drew his last breath.
His sense of honor was illustrated some
years ago, when confined to his bed for
some weeks, from which no one thought he
would ever arise. His pay was stopped
and the support of his family exhausted
his means The clerks of the Indian bu
reau, learning the fact, made a contrbu-
ton to keep up his life insurance, etc. The
first payment the captain received on his
return to the office he used to return every
