IN his trousers pocket, intending to
give them to her when he went down

Hydraulic Life-Hoats.

Three of these craft are now in ser
vice in England. The propelling agents
are jets Of water driven out by a pow
erful steam pump through nozzles I'M
der the water. The nozzles can be
made to drive the boat forward or
backward, or to turn it. the boat of
course being driven by the reaction in
the direction opposite to that of the
escaping water. A speed of nine miles
an hour was maintained for some two
hours in trial trip. They are not
economical; their strong point is the
absence of any external paddle wheels
or propellers, which are so, liable to
become fouled by wreckage. The boat
has projecting guards. which protect
the nozzles from striking against slips
or docks.

es. 1t was as lawyer and politician
that he achieved his first fame, how
ever. He began as politician the
week after graduating from Yale, and
it is only recently that this part of his
wonderful versatility has been cast in
the shade. He started his political
career at Peekskill, the town of his
birth, when the abolitionist republicans
put him up to make speech to tell
the Dutch farmers that the abolition
lists had made convert from the dem
.ocrats. All of young Chauncey's Dutch
relatives were democrats, and this
breach in the ranks at Peekskill was
regarded by the abolitionists as great
triumph. It made Depew, ST., hold
up his hands and say:
IF you have a promising sou OF
whose future you expect to be proud
and you want to make ID fool of
him, send him to Yankee college
George William Curtis was to have
spoken at the Peekskill meeting, but
he failed to arrive. Young Depew
talked for an hour and half, and two
days after the state committee sent
him an invitation to go on the stump.
Ever since he has been more or less in
politics. He supported Cleveland in
1884, but continued republican, say
ing that the ex-democratic president
was good enough a republican for him.
Mr.. Depew's first office was place
in the New York assembly in 1S61-c2.
He was elected secretary of state in
1863, came near being United States

Mark Twain, following the noble ex-
ample Of Sir Walter Scott, has devoted
all his gains for several years to the
payment of what his creditors were dis
posed to regard as dead claims The
English papers are lavish in their ap-
plause-as if this kind of honesty were
a rare virtue. Perhaps it is rare; but
then. more's the pity! Creditors should
forgive us as they hope to be forgiven;
but no debtor should let himself Off

risk OF moral bankruptcy.

Mr. Moody thinks if Christ offered to
rule here as he does in heaven he
would be adopted by no political party
and the majority would vote him down.
Evidently Mr.. Moody believes that the
number; but he ought to give the ma

gence. While ignorance and egotism
go together and are powerful, there is
such thing as common sense. And
besides Mr.. Platt is not going to live al

In the last four years, according to
Consul Dickey, at Callao, only one car
20 of wheat has been sent from the
United States to Peru. The reason
why he is not able to explain, but says
that the cargo referred to went from
San Francisco in October last year.
THE total import of Gillian wheat into
Peru during the year 1897" says the
consul's report, amounted to 22,613,-
1873 Kilograms (49,S54,21S pounds).
These figures show that Chill supplies
the Peruvian markets with wheat and
aour. But why Chilli and not the Unit
ID States should supply the Peruvian
markets when our products are far SUI
perior to those of Chill do not know,
unless It is due to the very low freights
charged by sailing vessels carrying
wheat from Chill. which l am told are
only 4 soles l$1.69) ton The con-
sui thinks that the first thing to be
done by the United States to gain the
srade of Peru and of other countries on
he Pacific coast of South and Central
America is to establish fast line Of
steamers from San Francisco. This.
combined with the present lines plying
between New York and the west coast

Plowman X the sitting member. but the
committee submits a recount OF the vote
giving Aldrich. the republican and poDui-
ist canddate. the seat
The report says:
III he election laws OF Alabama had
been designed TO encourage fraud they
could not have been IN some respects
more happily framed TO meet that pur-
pose. When II Is known that the condi-
ton for such a state OF facts existed It q
not strange that illitsrate voters should
remain away from the polls In the hope
that they would al least not furnish am
munition for their political opponents.
But this had made little difference to the
democratic managers In Dallas county.

Fortunately II has been discovered ana

fraud Is everywhere. not lurking. but bold
and insolent. It is chiefly Of five kinds:
"First-By fraudulently pudding poll list
with the names of persons not regis
tered; sometimes Of fictitious persons andl
sometimes OF persons who do not live in
the precinct.
Secondly padding the poll list with
the names Of persons on the registration
list who did not vote.
Thirdly imposing on lliterate
voters.
"Fourth-By the old-fashioned method
OF falsely according votes.
Fifth by refusing to hold any elec-
tion at all in certain strong republican
precincts"

vote on the most conservative lines, CIV |
ing Aldrich plurality OF so, wher as the
