with France-fought and captured the
Insurgent in West Indian waters. and

young lieutenant, proposed to the
commander of the feet TO put a crew
on board a Tripolitan ketch that had
just been captured, enter the harbor at
night, and rescue or burn the Fhiladei-
phia This was done on Feb. 16, 1904.
The tiny Tripolitan vessel stole quietly
to the side of the captured frigate. and
Decatur and his men recaptured her in
ten minutes. But as it was impossible
to move her. she was fred, and Decatur
escaped into the open sea without the
loss of a man. The bold exploit won
him his captaincy.
The navy's part in the war of 1872
was a glorious one. At the outset Of
that war Great Britain had 1.04S ships,
carrying % 300 guns and 151.572 officers
and men. The United States, on the
other hand, had but II ships. carrying
Az guns and 5,O25 officers and men. Yet
at the end of the struggle, which lasted
less than three years, the little Amer
ican navy had for the time swept the
British mercantile marine from the
seas, capturing upwards of 800 vessels,
on board of which were more than co.
900 British seamen.

In modern naval warfare, torpedo

their crew embark in open bate al

attacks there is less danger than in the
day, but during all their hostile move
ments their only hope is the avoidance
of the rapid firing guns of the battle
ships selected as their prey, and such
a hope is at all events foIlorn. A tiny
torpedo boat may wipe out $5.0c0,cO1

to the bottom, but the likelihood that

Stanley to Africa took with him a
number Of bird cages, in which nc
hoped to bring back some specimens
of the rarer birds of the interior. Ow-

was obliged to throw the bird cages

great glee. though they did not know
what to do with them, but they event

cages were kind OF headgear, and,

pauEhter Of Confederacy Dead.

At12 o'clock on the 18th, at
Narrsgansett Pier, r. l., after a
lihgefing attack, Of malarial' gas
tritis, Miss Winnie Davis, daugh-
ter Of the late ex-presidcnt of the
Confederacy, passed away. Her
mother was with her to the last.
Winnie Davis, the daughter of
the Confederacy," was born in
the Confederate executive. man
sion at Richmond, Va, in 1868.
She was educated principally at
home, owing to the trouble sur
rounding her father and the pub
LEFTY which attended all move
ments of the Davis family" Miss
attained her maturity at Beau
voir, her fathers pulatial home in
Mississippi. She was Mr.. Davis
constant companion, assisting
him in all his work, and much of
the information which was re-
quircd by the father was secured
by the daughter. Her strong
character was marked She was
engaged to Mi! Wilkel'son OF
Syracuse, N.Y., but shortly attn
her fathers death the engage
ment was broken off. No public
explanation was given, but it is
generally supposed that it was
for the purpose of maintaining
her fathers name. The appella-
ton, Daughter of the Confed-
eracy,'' was bestowed upon Miss
Davis in 1886, during her fathers
trip through the south, when she
was introduced to thousands.
