PRIZE MONEY ON MEN-OF-WAR

I'm case of capture OF a hostile vessel or
c~ontraband goods at sea during the prog
ress Of q war the United States statutes
provide for the payment of prize money
as follows:1
The commanding officer of the fleet
or squadron receives o~ne-twentieth
part.
The commanding officer of a division
of a fleet receives one-fiftieth part;
and a fleet captain receives just one
half as much.
The commander of a single vessel
receives one-tenth part of all prize
money awarded to the vessel under his
command, if the vessel was under the
command Of the commanding officer
of a feet or squadron or division; and
three-twentieths if his vessel was act
ing independently of such superior Of
ficer.
After the shares of the commanding
officers have been deduced, what is left
is proportional and distributed among
all others doing duty OF board the
ship in proportion to their respective
rates of pay in the service. In this
way it is seen that every officer, marine
and Jack tar in the service of Uncle
Sam has a personal interest as well as
q patriotic motive in advancing the
cause of his country on the high seas
In time of war.

THE ~FEATHERED TRIBE.

The eye of the vulture is so construct
ed that il is a high-power telescope, en-
abling the bird to see objects at an al
most incredible distance.
The turkey was first discovered in
America, and was taken 10 England in
the early part of the sixteenth century.
Since then it has been acclimated in
nearly all parts of the world.
A chicken with a comb weighing over
a pound is owned by John D. Reynolds,
of Newark, n. ]. At night the fowl
rests on a perch four inches from the
ground, with it's head bent forward, so
that the comb can repose on the earth.
Otherwise, the weight of the comb
would cause the chicken to topple over.
Mr.. Harrison Weir recommends a
muzzle as a cure for Growing cocks.
Before a cock crows he stands up, flaps
his wings and opens wide his beak.
Mr.. Weir suggests a light wire head
gear, which, while not preventing The
bird from eating and drinking, would
not allow it TO open the beak wide
enough to crow.

THE AMERICAN HOG.
Our German Cousins Because OF
Their Own CareIessness.

Berlin; Oct. A most important
revelation regarding American pork
was made by the German govern
ment's announcement in the semi-ofi-
cial press yesterday that it has re-
ceived information hat American pork
has entered Germany without a certi-
ficate.
Inquiry made at the United States
embassy confirms the report that the
discovery had been made. Thousands
of ions of American pork have been inn
ported through a number of custom
houses for years past without cert;i-
Gates. The German government WIS
ignorant of the fact and denied it, I'M
ii | overwhelming evidence was OBJ
tanned and submitted by the embassy's
scientific attache, Mr.. Smith. The EN-
bassy has requested the foreign office
to instruct the customs houses to in
sist i'll every Ease upon Il certificate.
No American firm is implicated in
these importations, which explain the
alleged discovery of trichina in
American pork. German dealers in
American pork offered in July last a
reward of 1000 marks for n east of
human trichinosiS due TO American
pork, and three months have passed
without anybody claiming the money.

A STATE OF STUPEFACTION.
Panic Caused In Madrid by the Report
tina the United States VIII Retain the
Whole of the Philippines.

Madrid, Oct. 4.-The reported inten-
ton of the United States to retain the
whole of the Philippine islands has
created almost a state of sturefaction
here, and il is semi-officially an
nounced that the Spanish government
has resolved to vigorously combat any
such action, which, it is claimed, the
terms of the peace protocol preclude.
Gen. Rio, governor of the Visayas
islands, reports to the government an
other defeat of the insurgents. The
Spanish volunteers, he says, also re-
pulsed an insurgent attack on the
town of Ibasnn. and killed 81 of the
attacking force.

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FINE
For Wearing a CaI4co Dress and sloo
Penalty for Selling
III Goods.

1t is a singular fact, but none the less
true, that in England in the year l7Ocwomen
were not allowed to wear calico dresses at
all, and in 1921 a penalty or fine of Is was
laid upon the wearer, and the unfortunate
dealer who sold calico in those days had to
pay a penalty of 500 for the otfense. 1t
il hardly necessary to say that no one of
them ever undertook to sell more than one
dress pattern. The women of this country
may bless their lucky stars that nothing
has ever interfered with their privilege to
buy and wear calico to their hearts con-
tent. Moreover, they can be thankful that
they are able to purchase the best quality
the world produces righthere at home. The
goods of enc firm are especially sought after
by both consumers and dealers and their
recognized superiority is assured when the
name William Simpson & Sons is found on
h et;cket. At leastt that is what the ladies and
the storekeepers say, andthey ought to know.

THE TITLE DOESN'T PASS.
ter of the Confederacy' Died with
Miss Winnie Davis.

Reynolds, Ga, Oct. 1.-Gen. John
B. Gordon, commander-in-chief of the
United Confederate veterans, is at his
plantation near here resting, and at
intervals pursuing his literary work.
The general was shown the dispatch
from Chicago in which Miss Lucy Hill
claims to have had the title Daughter
of the Confederacy" conferred upon
her by her southern friends since the
death of Winnie Davis.
The general was asked If the title
could be thus transferred, and replied
with great earnestness:
"Emphatically no. Miss Winnie
was the only daughter of President
Davis, born in the confederate White
House. during the life of the confeder-
acy. As Davis was the only Presi-
dent of the confederate government,
no daughter of any other official could
truly represent the confederacy. For
hat reason it would not be appropri-
ate to call even the daughter of Gen.
Robert L. Lee the Daughter of the
Confederacy.' To designate anyone
else as Daughter of the Confederacy'
would not only be inappropriate and
meaningless, but would deprive the
the title of all its value.
SIN view of the nature of the case
no one except Miss Winnie Davis is en-
titled to be called the Daughter of the
Confederacy.' That title was unique
and peculiarly her own, and is very
properly to be placed upon her tomb.
To designate anyone else by that title
would be almost a sacrilege.
"As with Jefferson Davis passed the
title of president of the confederacy,
so with Miss Winnie has passed that
of Daughter of the Confederacy.'"

the first governor of Hawaii should
be one who is not bound by any tie,
