GALLANT SERVICES.
Official Praise Bestowed by Secre-
tary Of the Navy Long.

WASHINGTON, June 16-Secretary
Long has determined that no American
officer who has distinguished himself
by noteworthy gallantry shall lack rec
ommendation, if the matter comes un-
der his notice. He recognized in the
zeal and energy and discretion exhib-
tied by Captain F. NJ. Simonds of the
Marietta something worthy Of official
praise, whereupon he addressed the fol-
lowing letter to him:
Navy Department, Washington. D.
c.. June a. 1898. To the commanding
officer of the Marietta: In acknowledge
ing the receipt of the report of the 9th
inst, relative to the passage of the
United States steamer Marietta from
San Jose de Guatemala to Key West
the department takes occasion to con-
command upon the successful termina-
ton of your long voyage.
1.-The department desires to express
to you and through you to the officers
and men under your command its ap-
probation of the efforts made by them
to carry out their orders. 1t is such
zeal and spirit as has been shown by
the officers and men of the Marietta
that has brought to a successful end
every enterprise undertaken by our ser
vice during the present war.
JOHN d. LONG,
Secretary of the Navy"
The department has just had time to
get along to the fine display of courage
made by Captain F. w. Newcomb, COM
manding the revenue cutter Hudson
in the engagement of the Spanish forces
at Cardenas on the 11th of last month.
in which Ensign Bagiey and several
other men We're killed and Lieutenant
Bernadou wounded on the torpedo boat
Winslow. Secretary Longs praise in
this case is the more gracious inasmuch
as it is directed to a revenue marine Of
ficer, and not to an officer in his own
department. He directed the following
letter to the Secretary of the Treasury
on June 18th:
II have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 9th inst and
to forward herewith a copy of the re-
port received. The rescue of the Wins
low by the Hudson was so gallantly
done in the face of the most CALLING fire
that her Captain, officers and men de-
serve the warmest commendation. The
Winslow was riddled with she'll dis
abled and helpless, drifting on to the
beach in the hands of the enemy: her
Captain wounded: her only other Off
GERS and half the crew killed; but the
Hudson courageously remained by her
in the very center of the hottest fire of
the action, although in constant danger
of going ashore on account of shallow
water, until finally a line was gotten to
the Winslow and the vessel drawn out
Of the way of the enemy's guns.
JOHN d. LONG,
Secretary of the Navy"
The report of Captain Newcomb upon
which the Secretary's letter was based,
was as follows:
AT 11:30 a. m., While off the main
entrance to Cardenas Bay, the Hudson
was ordered by the senior officer pres
ent to accompany the United States
steamer Wilmington and the United
States torpedo boat Winslow inside. All
three vessels started Immediately, and
after some preliminary soundings to de-

HE LEARNED

There is one man in Washington who
 declares that if he can hereafter obtain
 information in any other way he will
 not ask questions. He is employed in
 one of the departments, and his duties
 consist mainly In ordering and buying furniture While on his way to order a
 wire screen the other day he met a vender of rat-traps and other con- trivances made of wire. AS there are few places in the city where wire goods are made, he thought he had found a new factory. Stopping the man, he asked:
 Where did you get those traps?" Made 'em. Where did you suppose?' was the rather sullen reply. Where did you learn wireworking? The rat-trap vender loked at his ques. tioner sharply, and promptly replied:
 Same place you did. Sing Sing" The laugh of the bystanders still rings in the inquisitive mans ear's.-Wash. ington correspondence of the Chicago Inter Ocean.

WHY HE CUT THE WIRES.

The person who wrote that electricity was one of the mighty agents of nature enchained by the ingenuity of man" can scarcely have contemplated in his widest dreams the full extent of that ingenuity. For instance, he is scarcely likely to have prohesied that a sick man, far from the habitations of civilization, would have cut telegraph wire in order to obtain assistance And yet such has really occurred, according to London contemporary. The whole of the vast continent of Australia was practically cut off from European news for nearly twenty-four hours in the middle of September in corisequence of an interruption on the line between Adelaide and Port Darwin. Inquires were made, and it was found that the wire had been cut by a cyclist who was taken i'll while on a journey across the continent. It is not related how he set about it, but he had the satisfaction at any rate of getting what he wanted. It is not desired to establish this as a precedent of summoning help under inconvenient circumstances Review

sportsmen, after a tramp of fifteen to
 twenty miles through alfalfa meadows, sunflowers, and fields growing thick
 with weeds, return to the farmers's
 house to partake of roast turkey, pig,
 chicken, and delicacies of the season.
 Perhaps the squad has killed more
 than one wagonful. As fast as the
 wagon is filled it Is driven to the village, where boys and men have 6een em- ployed to tie the rabbits In punches of six and hang up the killing for photo graphing.
 The nights supper at the home of the host Is an event. Incidents of the day are recounted and discussed with gusto. Then the good wife makes beds on the floor and the tired boys turn in. Before daylight breakfast Is partaken of and
 the second days hunt begins betimes. The second days hunt is practically
 along the same line as the first day, ex- cept that at night the whole party re- turns to Lamar with the spells of the chase. There is one wide business street in the village of Lamar. On this street huge racks are temporarily erect ed, extending for two blocks, with an immense ditch running the entire | length and into which the offal Is | thrown and covered up with earth. The racks are several hundred feet long and are loaded with rabbits, and the sight
 is one which the sportsmen of the east have never beheld.
 During the hunts of the past five years, as near as can estimate, more | than 30,000 jack rabbits have been kill ] ed at Lamar. The committee reports | that rabbits are more plentiful this year l than ever before. Last year 102 gum l ners took 4,397 rabbits, and in 1895, with 1 125 gunners, there were secured 5,142 | rabbits. On December 15, 250 gunners l got 10000 rabbits.
 | After the rabbits are all thoroughly | cooled they are loaded into freight cars 1 and carried gratis by the railroad com l panies to Pueblo and Denver, where | they are distributed among the benev- | olent societies and the poor.
 l The results of the hunts are to feed | the needy and unfortunates, the in- l mates of orphans homes, of schools of incorrgibles, and other similar institu- l tions.-Omaha Bee.

THE CRUELTY OF SEAL HUNTIN

THE CRUELTY OF SEAL HUNTING. Seal hunting in it's legitimate form upon land is brutal beyond other indus tries because it depends for success upon qualities that we admire in anil mals, tractability and tameness. At tached to the herd there is contingent of youthful "bachelor'' seals. Their eel ibacy is enforced by the gruff old dogs that keep all the love-making to them selves It is the unfortunate bachelors that are doomed to lose life as we'll as love. They are not needed in the pro- pagation of the species. The world will not miss them dead, and the women de- sire their furs. Aleut Indians, who share the islands with the seals, sepa- rate a few bachelors from the herd and drive them up the hills, inland. The docile creatures hop painfully along no movement is as awkward as the pro-
 gress of a seal out of fwater-proceeding by short rushes and long pauses at the rate of about half a mile an hour. In six hours they reach secluded killing ground" The Indians separate them into groups select the finest animals, and beat them to death with clubs taking care not to break the furs lest they be unacceptable on Fifth avenue illustrated American.

RELIEF MAP IN PLASTER.
Object Lessons in Social and In-
 dustrial Life.

uu9lIidl lIllG,
 In order to show the close con- nection between the region and the social and industrial life of the people, the department of ethnology of the Ma tional Museum has constructed relief may in plaster, colored to show the geo. logical features of Southwest Colorado, Southern and Central Utah as far as Salt Lake, nearly all of Arizona, and New Mexico as far east as the Rio Grande river extends.
 This area Is sometimes called the arid region, also Pueblo country. It includes the territory of cliff dwellers cave dWellers crater dwellers, mesa dwellers and that portion of land and other por- tions of the Pueblo land. In this re- zion is basin of the lower Colorado, the Little Colorado, the Gila and Rio Grande rivers. While this territory differs from the buffalo plains on the east and the coast area of Colorado on the west, greatly within itself, it also possesses a remarkable variety of it's own features, so that combined in only one Pueblo region there are half a dozen types, shown by houses, pottery, basketry and modes of living. The map is marked to express these varie- ties. A separate court at the museum, with it's galleries will embrace the ethnical features of this map, con sisting of figures and groups, models of various types of houses and separate cases, in which each special art is ch ir, tc ict, ,-i htyft oh arid region. When completed, this map, with its accompanying exhibit, will will present the best picture of a culture region to be seen in any museum in the world. In addition to the map, on all the collections there will be large labels and small ones, photographs, drawings and small library, access sible to every visitor who wishes to study along these lines.-Washingt Star

HIS IN SHORTHAND.
Many Trials of an Englishman With
 His Stenographer.

Many Trials of an Englishman With
 His Stenographer.
 An englishman who drops his h's and aspirates his as and stenographer and typewriter who spells theoretically from dictation make a combination from which trouble is sure 10 result un- less the 'copy'' is carefully revised. The manager of one of the most import ant manufacturing plants in Cleveland is an Englishman. Not long ago he em- ployed young man to act as his steno- grapher, and one of of the first things that the latter was called upon to do was the taking down. of letter to the managers wife, who was away at a summer resort. Being busy man, the manager didn't take the trouble to look at the letter after it had been type written, but when his wife answered it there was hot time for the steno- grapher. 'fMy dear Henry" she wrote, what on earth do you mean by calling me Hannah and our little Horace 'Orris?' I will admit that this sounds like you. but why do you make a joke of it before your employes?" Of course the fond husband and father didn't know what it all meant, and so he wrote for an explanation, when his first letter was sent back to him.
 One glance at it and he rushed over to his stenographer, excitedly threw the sheet down before him and demanded: There, what do you mean. sir, writing my wifes name down Annah?"
 "Anna?" replied the young man: 'let
 me see. No, I've got it Hannah, all right"
 But" said the manager, who was furious tits not 'Annah, It, Hanna!"
 Well, there it is, Hannah-H-a-n- n-a-h.'
 "' Annah be dashed! exclaimed the
 manager.
 "A-n-n-a. Hanna! Can't you under stand English, you blanked fooln' By this time the stenographer began to see through the trouble. so he begged off upon the plea that having had a swelling in one of his ears he had not | been able to hear very well. But it cost | him nearly a weeks salary to square | things with the other boys in the office,
 and he always deems it best to hide | when he. hears the managers wife in | the hall.-Cleveland Leader.
