them are made Of ravelled cloth. and these are
always highly priced. The older they are the

East feels for his antique rug.
AN ALMOST INDFSTRUCTGBLE FABRIC
The blankets almost indestructible and
consequently do not show the passing Of years.
One OF these old specimens, which Captain Riggs
secured after much trouDle-for the Indians

in one family, in constant use for ninety years.

II has broad stripes of dark blue and white, with
red designs on the border and dark blue panel
striped with fine lines Of red, down the centre
H. the middle of this panel is diamond shaped
patch Of red. For such a blanket a Navajo
would gladly give from twenty-five to afty
ponies. AT present the Indian ponies are worth
from SO to $50 apiece an idea may be gained
OF how high a value some OF the older blankets
attain in Navajo eyes. There blankets in
the collection OF Captain Riggs which may be
had for as little as 81 -; and the prices range
from that all the way up into the hundreds.
The method OF weaving the blankets may be
seen from the picture of a Navajo squaw at
work. The loom. consisting Of two poles with
cords strt tch3d between them, is hung upon the
branch of tree or any convenient place. and
the lower edge is kept from swinging 10y being
anchored to the ground with large stones as
weights. The weaver squats before the loom and
works the strands Of wool in and out back and
forth, across the cords. by the slow hand rroc-
ess, beating them down hard afterward with
stick When completed the blanket L. Won

kept for Service on the
Atlantic.

Three revenue cutters, built for use
on the great lakes, and which were or
dered TO be sent from Cleveland
through the great lakes and the ST.
lawrence river before the breaking
out of the war, TO be fitted up as aux
diary naval vessels. will soon be re-
turned by the navy department 10 the
jurisdiction of the treasury depart
ment, where they belong in time of
peace. They will, however, not be
used on the lakes, but will become a
part of the revenue-cutter fleet4on the
Atlantic.
These cutters are the Onondaga, the
Algonquin and the Gresham. The lat
ter is now at Boston. The Onondaga
is at Montreal, where it was detained
on its trip up the river by the declara-
ton of neutrality by Great Britain
which forbids the use of the ST. Law
renee canal for war purposes. The
Algonquin is at Ogdensburg, where it
was held up for the same reason.
The treasury department has in
creased needs for revenue cutters on
account of the territory acquired in
Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines.
The McCulloch, which was intended
for the San Francisco ST alton. and was
there when she was directed TO join
Dewey's fleet at Hong-Kong when the
war broke out, will be used as a rev.

A MAINE HERO WEBS.
Ensign Powelson Married to Col.
Mllar's Daughter in Hospital
Groom Confined to His He'd with u
Broken Leg, the Result Of an Ac-
cident ON the Cruiser

Ensign William Van Nest Powelson,
one of the survivors of the battleship
Maine and hero of the war with
Spain, was married in his room in the
Episcopal hospital, Philadelphia, TO
Miss Margaret Olivia Aillar, of Wyo-
ming, o., daughter of Col Millar,

Around the ceremony was an air
of romance. Ensign Powelson could
not stand as he made the promise to
cherish the woman who was about TO
become his wife. He was kept pris-
oner in bed by broken leg. The wom-
an who cheered him in his sickness,
who cared for him and supplied him
with delicacies, was his bride. She
was his nurse, but her services were
those of love. She had long been his
sweetheart, and when he was sick she
insisted on nursing him. The cere-
mony over, she assumed the right TO
keep on nursing him because she was
his wife.
Ensign Powelson asked TO be trans
ferred TO another warship. As soon
as the war broke out he was all eager
ness 10 fight and to strike for the
Maine. He was burning with arsor to
avenge the blowing up of the vessel
In which he took so much pride. He
was finally assigned to the auxiliary
cruiser st. Paul, and though this was
not an actual fighting ship he was
with his old commander, Capt. Sigs-
bee, and he expected that the St. Paul
would be able TO fight little against

sells.
He had long been engaged to Miss
Millar. But for the breaking out of
the war the couple would have been
married late in the spring. Ensign
Powelson was doomed, however, to be
placed out of the fighting force by an
inglorious accident Stepping back
ward on the deck of the St. Paul one
day he fell down an open hatchway
and his leg was broken.
The almost cherries hospital room
had been transformed into veritable
bower of roses for the occasion, and,
Notwithstanding the temporary in

as joyous and happy as though the
marriage had been celebrated in the
