ing been loosened by the first contact
of the harpoon with the net. The
charge is held to the head by long,
light chain. When it leaves the tor
pedo, a lead patch is torn off rocket
tube running down the charge, the
water comes in contact with bit of
potassium, which burns furiously, and
sets on fire rocket of special COM
position located behind the charge,
which serves as fuse. The charge
having been propelled by the rocket
down under the net and reaching the
limit of its chain, being still propelled
onward, of necessity comes up against
the bottom of the ship, Fifteen sec
onds later, as arranged when the tor
pedo was loaded. the rocket or fuse
burns out, the charge is reached, and
the explosion occurs. That is the end
of the ship.
The torpedo is so small that it will
be hard to hit even when it is at the
surface; underneath detection of
its approach is impossible at a greater
distance than half ships length.

Cuban authorities to stay all further
proceedings.
Feeling at the time ran very high.
The people clamored for war and the
press rang with denunciations of
Spanish rule in Cuba. The execution
of Ryan and his fellow-filibusters had
been attended by peculiar barbarities.
The vessels of the navy were ordered
into commission and the country was
on the verge of war.
1t was due to Secretary Fish more
perhaps than to any other man that
this war was averted.
He compelled Spain to surrender the
Virginius and the survivors. He was
unyielding in his demands upon Spain,
and his settlement of the difficulty was
satisfactory to the nation.
Mr.. Fish lived for many years on the
corner of Second avenue and Seven
teenth street, near Stuyvesant square.
The house stood on ground which had
once been part of Gov. Stuyvesant's
farm and which has been held in the
family more than 200 years, but for
which there is no deed except the
original Dutch grants.
He was married in New York on the
18th of December, 1886, to Julia,
daughter of Peter Kean, of Ursino,
near Elizabeth, Nj.
His son. Nicholas Fish. was born in
New York on the 10Th. of February,
1916, and was married to Clemence l.
Bryce.

THE VALUE OF URBANITY.
Two Instances In Which Pleasant
Looks and Smiles Saved
Mans Life.

Many years ago the late DR.. Shipper,
of Philadelphia. left his house in early
morning and was hurrying down the
street when he noticed a singular and
Notwithstanding man, whose gaze was
fastened upon him. With instructive
politeness and bonhommie he smiled,
raised his hat and passed on, when sud-
denly he heard a shot. Turning, he
found that the stranger had just left
his home with the insane intention of
killing the first man he met. He was
the first man; but his absolute fear
lessness and constitutional as well as
cultivated courtesy had put the man
off his guard, and the next passer-by
had caught the bullet intended for him.
That smile and bow had saved his life.
When the country was a century
younger and the Indian was yet in the
land, gentleman upon the then from

his way. Every effort to retrieve his

he lay down under a tree and slept
profoundly. In the morning he awoke
with that indescribabe feeling that
someone was looking at him, and,
gancing up, he saw that he was sur

the leader of the band, in war paint
and feathers, was bending over him in

the eye above him, and at last an an
swering smile came over the face.
Both were men-both were brothers,
and he was saved! The savage took him
under his protection, brought him to
his wigwam. and after few days re.
stored him to his friends. Courage,
self-command and tact had gained the
day.-Lippincott's.

upoa his return from Europe took an
active part in the election of Abraham
Lincoln.
In 1869 he entered President Grants
cabinet as secretary of state. In
March, 1873, he was reappointed by
Grant, and served in all from March
II, 1869, to March ~, 1877.
Mr.. Fish was secretary of state at
the time of the seizure of the Virginius
off the Cuban coast by the Spanish
gunboat Tornado.
The Virginius was first sighted with
in IS miles of the Cuban coast on the
31st of October, 1878.
She was soon overhauled by the
Spaniard, who fired q shot across her
bow. The Virginius made no resist
ance. She was boarded by the officers
of the Tornado, who hauled down the
American flag and hoisted the flag of
Spain. Capt. Fry handed over the
papers of the Virginius, and both YES
sells headed for Santiago de Cuba.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of
November they arrived at that port,

now blocked by the Merrimac.

served on the Tallapoosa, in South

near Baiquiri, Cuba, was the great
grandson of Nicholas Fish. who en-
tered the revolutionary war more
than 100 years.ago. He was the grand
son of Hamilton Fish, Grants secre-
tary of state, and the son of Nicholas
Fish, minister to Brussels. He was the
ninth in direct line of his name in
America He entered Columbia col
lege, his grandfather's school, in 1889,
and distinguished himself in athletics.
Physically, young Fish was SPLEEN
did specimen of manhood. He stood
six feet two and a half inches in his
stockings, and had powerful shoulders
and superb muscular development.
Fear seems to have been entirely alb
sent from his nature, and any faults
he may have had were those of youth
and an exuberant vitality. He was
generous and democratic in the ex-
IRENE.
In the Rough Riders he found tie
outlet he needed for his love of daring
and adventure. He accepted not only
the dangers. but the hardships of the
campaigning cheerfully. He was not
entirely unprepared for them, as he
had had some experience upon Wy
oming ranch and as a brakeman in
the west. He was devoted to his regi-
ment and to his officers. He joined the
regiment at San Antonio. Tex. and on
May 10 was appointed second lieu
tenant of troopI.
But he did not set any value on his
commission, and when troop was de-
tailed to remain in Tampa and look
after the horses he resigned and was
transferred as private to troop L.
He wrote home that If he was promot-
ed it should be upon his merits as a
soldier. Capt. Capron made him a
sergeant.
He fell far in advance of his com
rades. at the side of Capt. Capron. and
is buried in the first soil captured from
the enemy.

Richard Harding Davis describes the
spot in his dispatches. and gives as
an eye witness an account of the in
terment of the young hero who by his
gallantry has won an honorable place
in the history of his family and his
country:
"No man could ask to lie in a more
lovely place. 1t is the highest point.
To the left the valley can be seen for
many miles around. Grass grows high
all about the place. The sun smiles
upon it. Fresh, cool breezes sweep
across increasingly, moving great
trees and royal palms so that they
bend low above it.
"The regiment stood in close ranks

were lowered gently. the chaplain

Hamilton Fish. Jr.. the young SER
geant who was carried to the front to
die, and whose watch bore the crests
of Alexander Hamilton and Nicholas
Fish and the motto God will give
"God gave him a noble death a
quick and painless death in the first
rank of battle-and his comrades gave
him noble burial by the side of his
men in soil they had won from an
enemy and which they had died to set
free"
Coupled with his name will always
be the story of the little child in San
Antonio whose life he saved. The
regiment was drilling near Mexican
settlement south of the city. AS the
column of horsemen swept up the hill
dusky child came from clump OF
bushes and crossed directly in the path
of the advancing cavalry.
In moment the child would have
been trampled to death beneath the
hoofs of the horses of the Rough Rid
ers but for young Hamilton Fish. who
seeing the danger, set spurs to his
horse and sprang ahead of the col
umn. Leaning low above the bow Of
his saddle he caught the child ant
swung it up before him to safety. Such
deeds as this are better than epitaphs

For four generations the Fish family
has done it's part nobly in the defense
and service of it's country. 1t has
given America good soldiers, good
statesmen and good citizens. Its rec
ord is long and honorable. 1t may be
said of this family that its sons are
typical of all that is best in American
manhood. 1t belongs to the soil. The
founder of the family in America,
Jonathan Fish, was born in England
early in the seventeenth century and
emigrated to America about 1885.
with his brothers Nathaniel and John
he settled first at Lynn, Mass.
Hamilton Fish. his son, was born in
New York on the Sd of August, 1908,
and was named for Alexander Hamil-
ton.
He was educated at Columbia col
lege. After his graduation he began
the study of law and was soon admit
ted to the bar. Upon leaving college
Mr.. Fish became interested in politics.
He attached himself to the WING par
ty. In the fall of 1884 he was candi-
date for the assembly, but was de-
feated. In 1912 he was elected to con-
gress. In 1S47 he was elected lieuten-
ant governor of New York.
After the expiration of his term of
Office he was elected to the senate.
When his senatorial term expired Mr..
Fish went to Europe with his family
and remained till shortly before the
beginning of the civil war.

reflectors of red and green that show
above the waves. By these disks the
position of the torpedo is determined;
at night lights are used.
A bolt of flame leaps from one OF the
13-inch guns of the warship. She has
opened fire. Then the officer makes

An Old Story Revived,

A clergyman preached a rather long
sermon from the text: Thou art
weighed in the balance and found
wanting" After the congregation had
listened about an hour some began to
get weary and went out; others soon
followed, greatly to the annoyance OF
the minister. Another person started,
whereupon the parson stopped his ser.
mon and said THAT is right, gentle
men; as fast as you are weighed pass
OUT" He continued his sermon some
time after that, but no one disturbed
him by leaving.
