TWO GREAT ACTORS.
Their Happy Reminiscent Chats mt Grip
Van Wrinkles" Home.

Van Wrinkles" Home.
Think of the time, now gone, when
Edwin Booth made his annual visits 10
his dear old friend, Joseph Jefferson! Can
you not see these two with all the rest of
the family, sitting around the open fire in
the big dining roomf These two great
artists and dear friends are talking of DAYS
that have gone by-one telling the story
of some unfortunate predicament i'm which
he had been placed; the other Speaking of
some day when they had met, and who
else was present at the meeting And then
the history of some happy time would be
told, and it would be- "Ned, did you ever
think?' or ".Joe, viii you ever forgetg"
And so the conversation would go on, and
they would be boys again
The light from the bright fire, which
was the only light in the room. shows
these two faces to perfection. Ono would
tell some old joke and both would laugh
merrily-so merTily that all the family,
down TO the smallest child, Joined in.
Then the tears would glisten in the eyes
OF each as the name of some old compan-
ion was mentioDed-some one whose life
had been full of sorrow and who bad gone
before perbaps-who knowsi-to show
them the way. Tho wonderful profile of
Edwin Booth looks as if it were cut in
ivory. while the expressive face of Mr..
Jefferson changes so continually IL would
never suggest anything SO firm. 1t is
more like wax, but wax with soul
There came a time when the dear friend
was there no more and none but Mr.. JEFF
ferson himself will know how much he
has been missed. -Josephire Robb In La

Cuba frcm east 70 ives: is $50 miles
long. It's width varies from 90 To 1876
miles The island, with It's Dependent
cies. contains AZ, 27s square miles. The
entire coast line is ,, 200 miles in extent.
The Cubans are the planters of the is.
land. The Spaniards, usually govern.
ment officials or traders live in the cit
les. In the interior ell Spaniards are
known as Galatians.
The rainy season in Cuba begins in
May or June and ends in November.
The most rain falls in September and
October. The average number of rainy
days in year is l02.
Though tropical, the Cuban climate
is an equable one. The thermometer
never rises SO high as it sometimes does
in New York, and sunstrokes are un-
known.
Mountain chains extend from east TO
west throughout the whole length of the
island. Between the mountains and the
coast low tracts usually intervene which
in wet weather are overhowed and are
almost impossible.
Cuba has 260 rivers, all small. In
the low coast lands both north and south
are extensive swamps.
Yellow fever prevails each year in the
seaport cities of Cuba, beginning to-
ward the end of June and disappearing
in September. Foreigners only are at
tackled by the disease.

THE NAVAL RESERVES.
~ Lubbers They. but seamen Bold, Quick
to Jump mt Duty's Call.

The readiness, good discipline and
feamsnship of the New York naval mi
litia were we'll illustrated in the prompt
ness with which a detachment of so
men went to Philadelphia, manned the
monitor Nshant aud brought her 10
New York tor the defense of the harbor.
These qualities were again illustrated
when the call was made for "a ship's
company for The auxiliary cruiser Yam
kee. The entire contingent. from FIRST
lieutenant 20 landsman, embracing l9j
nen, was at once supplied from the
New York reserve.
The Louisiana naval reserve has fur
nished crew of nine officers and 80 men
for the monitor Passaic, which is to de-
fead tho harbOr of Port ROYAL s. G.
The reserve has been called on TO sup
ply |. 100 men for manning the 81 gun
boats, patiol boats aud torpedo boats
employed in the gulf service, and it an,
nounces that it will be able to meet the
requisition.
The first attempt made in the United
States to establish a naval reserve was
in 1850, when President Fillmore draft
ed bill providing for reserve of 90,
600 men. Nothing came of the measure.
AS early as 1885 every country in
Europe had naval reserve. England
then had it's royal naval reserve of 90,
600 officers and men ard its royal naval
artillery volunteers of over 2, 900 officers
and men.
1t was through the efforts of Lieuten-
ant j. q. Solely, retired officer of the
United States navy, that the naval re-
serve was first established in the United
States. Under authority of the Masss-
chusetts legislature he organized ma
val battalion in 1890. New York was
tho next state to organize a naval re-
serve.
There are naval reserve organizations
in 10 states, with a membership of near
ly 5000 men, which could readily be in
creased to 20, 000

There are 10000, 600 men liable &c

The actual strength of all the state
soldiers composing the national guard
previous to the recent call by the presi-
dent for troops was ll3, AGO men and of.
ficers.
A special feature of the national guard
of New York is the efficiency it has at
tanned in the military signal and tele-
graph service. The signal corps attached
to brigade is furnished with all the
improved United States army signal
kits, field telegraph instruments, field
telephones, fash lanterns and hello
graphs, engineering and electrical in
struments.
The work of a signal corps in state
camp includes besides signaling the
study of engineering, including making
road maps, field sketching and bridge
and signal tower building.
The normal strength of the national
guard in New York state is 1926.
The number of males in the state liable
to military service is 942, $50.
Next to New York, Pennsylvania is
strongest in its national guard, with
S,547 men. Wyoming, with a roll of
345, has the smallest enlistment, while
Nevada, with 346 men, goes it one bet
ter. Alaska and the Indian Territory
have no organized militia.
There were wafm welcomes in New
York city for the up state militia as
they passed through the town on their
way to Hampstead. Crowds of people
at the railway stations and on the
streets cheered and waved their hats
and shouted words of encouragement.
AS the men were ferried to Long Island
City the whistle Of every tug captain
in sight saluted them vigorously.
A substantial, soldierly set are these

COST OF ARMoR PLATE.
Estimates ~ Made by Steel aud Iron Com.
panies aud Government Agents.


The Bethlehem Iron company In No
vemhcr. 1895. using estimates prepared
under orders from the United States navy
department. by government naval inspect
ors, gave $3.50 as the cost Of material and
labor involved I'm making n ton OF armor
| To this, they asserted, should bc added
| s5S per ton as interest on $4,000. 900 in.
vested In their armor plant Sl32 for main
tenance and depreciation of the latter nj
the rate of 10 per cent per year. ard S33 as
interest on working capital, estimated at
81, 500 600. These figures gave total cost
| Of Si94 per ton. Soon afterward tho Car
negie Steel company of Pittsburg stated
| that, outside of labor and material, the
| cost Of ton OF arDor. based on the naval
| inspectors figures, was S225; the interest
| on plant valued at SO, 900, 600 amounting
| 10 SSH 90; maintenance of plant, SOS, and
loss by abandonment of plant when the
| navy shall have been completed $40. 90.
IL should be noted, moreover, that, al
though European firm quoted $780, 900
as the cost OF building plant equal in ev-
cry respect 10 those in the United States,
prices are lower now than in 1887. whom
the Bethlehem company began its plant, or
even than in 1890, when the Carnegie
company began the manufacture OF armor.
The United States naval experts esti-
mate that the cost of labor and material
In ton of nickel steel armor is SliS, plus
10 per cent on that sum allowed for loss
from spoiled and rejected plates; in ton
of Harvey nickel steel the cost is $l6S. SO,
plus 10 per cent, and in ton of double
forged nickel steel $lS7.S0, plus 10 per
cent.
AS n result of these Investigations the
secretary of the United States navy con-
cluded that the present value of an armor
plant like those of the companies referred
TO is Sl,500,0 900, and the allowance for
maintenance $3.50, 600 per year while the
plant is In operation, and that $3.50, in
round numbers may DO taken as the cost
OF armor when the companies have fair or
ders for work. This is very near the figure
of the Bethlehem bid for armor to the
Russian government, which was S249.
However, this low bid was made, the
Bethlehem company claims, in order to
get into the European market with Amer
lean armor.
Allowing 80 per cent (for profit and in
terest on capital invested) upon the above
cost of manufacturing armor for United
States battleships now under contract
would make 1875, which, plus $50 for the
nickel in the armor, gives 1895 per ton, or,
in round numbers, $500. This, the secre-
tary stated seems to be an equitable price
TO pay for arnor for the vessels in ques-
ton, and 1875 per ton IL congress should
authorize the construction of any addi-
tional battleships. The two American
now demand s425 per ton and
claim that the average market price of the
world for armor is over $50O.-Titus Ulke
