CAPT. PECIx's SIDE OF 1T.
How He Came to Pull Up n River
Mine.

Mine.
Capt. john f. Peck of the tug William
f. McCauiey. which ran into one of the
mine buoys off Fort Pulaski. has a slightly
different version of the story from that
given in yesterdays Morning News Capt.
Peck acknowledges running into the buoy
all right, but some of the circumstances
mentioned do not do credit to his judgment
and discretion as an experienced tugboat
captain he thinks.
1.-THE tug did not make squirt In cross
ing the mines" said Capt. Peck yesterday.
Il was too we'll aware of the danger for
that. The stacking OF the rope was caus-
ed by the tug slowing up as we reached
the mines. The squirt came after we had
passed the mines and the hawsers then
tautened on our tow. The facts are sim
ply these: We were going at a very mod
crate rate of speed and following strictly
the sailing lines laid down on our chart
The buoy was directly on the sailing line
as is proved by the fact that il was struck
by the Pauisen only three hours before
the bouy first striking the bow and then
the wheel of the tug. The McCauley
struck the buoy in exactly the same man
ner, first the bow and then the wheel. I
saw the buoy come TO the top of the water
after we passed. The buoy did not set
entangled in the propeller. nor did we foul
anything"
The Paulsen and the McCauley." con-
tinued Capt. Peck, ARE the only tugs
which have passed the fort since The
mines were laid We are fully aware of
the danger and exercise every preeaution
When we have no tow we stop the Wheels
and drift by, but when we have a tow we
move at a slow rate Of speed. would have
been foolish, indeed 10 have risked The
company's property and my own life IN
making a squirt through bed Of mines"

STRETCHED A DEAD MAN.
Strange Story of a Chance Likeness
bordering the Supernatural.

Strange Story of Chance Likeness
bordering the Supernatural.
From the Washington Star.
An artist OF washington speaking re-
Gently of a visit to Nantucket said:
Il sketched a good deal out of doors,
but when the weather was bad I made the
best of ii by working on what I consider
ed a pretty good picture of the interior OF
one Of the old houses or at least of one
big room that lent itself best to my pur-
poses.
1.-THE people who owned the house were
so nice to me that when finished my pic
ture I thought to repay them in part Tor
their courtesy by making them a sketch
of my ambitious canvas. For the sake Of
variety, however I drew in the figure Of
an old man sitting in a big chair and
gazing abstractedly into the fireplace. Ii
was fancy figure pure and simple. and
drawn without a model, but the face be-
longed to the type that one so often sees
along the New England coast, a type that
is unfortunately growing rarer as the
years go by.
But imagine my surprise when I came
10 present the sketch TO my friends, for
they drew back from 1t as if I had given
them something uneanny, and the man
said:
'"Why. that's a picture of my father
precisely as I have seen him sitting in
front of that fireplace hundreds Of times,
gazing into the Goals and thinking of tho
days when he captained one the biggest
whalers that sailed out of the harbor Of
Nantucket
''And his wife bore out his statement
when she said it was an admirable like
ness of the old man, who had died many
years before i ever visited the island.
1.-THE neighbors were summoned in and
every one of the people who had known
the old man recognized the likeness with
out a moments hesitation. They said
that in every detail of face and figure it
was as accurate as a photograph could
possibly have been.
'sNow, of course it was only a coinci-
dence, but you could never have made any
of those people think that there was not
something supernatural about it all-and,
do you know, 1 am more than half in
clined to think they were right"

 HOW 70 SUCCEED AS AN ORATOR

Now and then he broke the letters of his creed, escaped from his orthodox prison and became sublime
 Theodore Parker was an orator. He preached great sermons. His sermons on "Old Age" and Webster" and his address on Liberty were filled with great thoughts, marvelously express ed. When he dealt with human events, with realities, with things he knew. he was superb. When he spoke of free dom. of duty, of living to the ideal, of mental integrity, he seemed inspired
 Webster I never heard He had great qualities; force, dignity, clear ness, grandeur but, after all he wor- shiped the past. He kept his back to the sunrise. There was no dawn in his brain. He was not creative. He had no spirit of prophecy. He lighted no torch. He was not true to his ideal. He talked sometimes as though his head was among the stars, but he stood in the gutter.
 Clay I never heard, but he must have had commanding presence, a chival- ric bearing, a heroic voice. He cared little for the past. He was a natural leader, a wonderful talker-forcible, persuasive, convincing. He was not a poet, not master of metaphor, but he was practical. Ee kept in view the end to be accomplished. He was the opposite of Webster. Clay was the morning, Webster the evening" Clay had large views, a wide horizon. He was ample, vigorous and little tyran- nical.
 Benton was thoroughly common place. He never uttered an inspired word. He was an intense egotist No subject was great enough to make him forget himself Calhoun was a polfti- cal Calvinist-narrow. logical, dog matic. He was not an orator He de- livered essays, not orations.
 s. S. Prentiss was an orator hut with the recklessness of a gamester. he threw his life away. He said profound and beautiful things, but he lacked ap- plication. He was uneven, dispropor- tiCned-saying ordinary things on great occasions, and now and then, without the slightest provocation, uttering the sublimest and most beautiful thoughts.
 Lincoln had reason, wonderful humor and wit. but his presence was not good. His voice was poor, his gestures awk- ward-but his thoughts were profound. His speech at Gettysburg is one of the masterpieces of the world. The word "here' is used four or five times too often Leave the heres out and the speech is perfect.
 Of course I have heard a great many takers, but orators are few and far between. They are produced by vic torious nations-born in the midst of great events, of marvellous achieve ments They utter the thoughts, the aspirations of their age. They clothe the children of the people in the gorgeous robes of genius They inter- pret the dreams. With the poets, they prophecy. They fill the future with heroic forms. with lofty deeds They keep their faces toward the dawn toward the overcoming day.

Miss Warren carried out her part aa young chap earning a living ex- tremely we'll" said MT. Fowzer. None of us in the gallery here had the slight est suspicion that John Warden was anything but real, up-to-date man, entitled to wear mems clothes and work among men as a man. That's the reason we invited him, or rather her, to the theater party. Warden was somewhat shy, but we attributed that to youth and natural diffidence.
 When we look back at what hap pened at the theater party it all seems funny enough now. Warden seemed ap- palled at the size of the schooner of beer. We noticed it, but we men were all thinking about the play and about getting back to our seats, so outside of joshing' him, or rather her, a bit we did not make anything out of it.
 ''Togged out in her mans clothes she seemed just like any other young fele low, only, as I said, retiring and quiet

self to be anticipated. He is always in advance. He does not repeat himself. picture is shown but once. So, an orator should avoid the commonplace.
 There should be no stuffing, no filling. He should put no cotton with his silk, no common metals with his gold. He should remember that ''gilded dust is not as good as dusted gold" The great orator is honest, sincere. He does not pretend. His brain and heart go to- gether Every drop of his blood is con- vinced. Nothing is forced. He knows exactly what he wishes to do-knows when he has finished it, and stops.
 Only a great orator knows when and how to close. Most speakers go on after they are through. They are sat isfied only with lame and impotent conclusion" Most speakers lack va riety. They travel a straight and dusty road. The great orator is full of epi- sode He convinces and charms by in- direction. He leaves the road, visits the fields, WanderS in the woods, listens to the murmurs of springs, the songs of birds. He gathers flowers, scales the crags and comes back to the highway refreshed, invigorated. He does not move in straight line. He wanders and winds like stream.
 Of course no one can tell a man what to do to become ->n orator The great orator has that wonderful thing called presence. He has the strange some thing known as magnetism. He must have flexible, musical voice, capable of expressing the pathetic, the humor- ous, the heroic. His body must move in unison with his thought. He must be a reasoner, logician. He must have a keen sense of humor-of the laugh able. He must have wit, sharp and quick. He must have sympathy His cE hr a;rrI,l tears. He must have imagination. He should give eagles to the air and painted moths should f1utter in the sum- light
 While I cannot tell man what to do to become an orator, I can tell him a feT things not to do.
 There should be no introduction to an oration. The orator should commence with his subject There should be no planation. He should say nothing about himself. Like a sculptor he stands by his block of stone. Every stroke Is for a purpose.
 As he works the form begins to ap- pear. When the statue is finished, the workman stops. Nothing is more diff cult than a perfect close Few poems few pieces of music, few novels end well. A good story, a great speech. a perfect poem should end just at the proper point. The bud, the blossom. the fruit. No delay great speech is a specialization in it's logic, an effior- essence in it's poetry
 To tell the truth, I have not heard many speeches. Most of the great speakers in our country were be- fore my time. heard Beecher. and he was an orator. He had imagination, humor and intensity. His brain was fertile as the valleys of the Iropics He was too broad, too philosophic, too poetic for the pulpit.

that I like my own clothes much better than the ones I adopted.
 T didn't find much difference in the treatment I received from either men or women, but I like my own clothes best, and I never will try to be a man again.
 You see, I thought it would not only be easier to get around, but I thought it would be cheaper; that a man could get lodging in cheap places where a woman would not care to go.
 T discovered, however, that it did not make so much difference.
 Altogether I find that you can get along in the world, be you either man or woman, and I think it best not to try and be an imitation of the opposite sex, for you are sure to wish that you hadn't before you get through.
 T shall probably leave here before long. My course is almost completed and I shall want to set up for myself.
 No, 1 shall not open gallery here. I will go into some small place.

 Come, John, drink it. we haven't much time; we don't wish to miss the next act said MT. Fowzer, and started in on that dreadful tower of beer.
 Well, I got it down, and I can tell you right here that it was the first and last one I shall ever touch or anything that looks like it.
 When l got home that night I re- solved that my disguise would have to be dropped I wouldn't take the risk of having to drink that dreadful steam beer again. l felt, too, that I had won my way as a worker and that I could make a living as a woman.
 So in a day or so I walked into the gallery in my own clothes.
