FROM DUDE TO SOLDIER.
Checkered Career OF Ha1lett Alsop
BOrrowe, the Famous Rough Rider.


Borrowc, the Famous Rough Rider.
Hallett Alsop Borrowe, who went
with the rough riders in Cuba and who
was given charge of a dynamite gun
capable Of deadly execution, has led a
life replete with incident.
When he was a young man he thought
he would become a great artist, and
studied art at the Columbia Art School.
Then he thought that law, and not art,
was his peculiar calling and entered the
Columbia Law School After a while
he decided that neither law nor art was
just what he was cut out for. and went
across the water to see the world. He
had already seen something Of it in on
this side. His father was Samuel Bor.
rowe, Vice President Of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, and young
Borrowe had the entree into New York
society.
In England and France Hallett Alsop
was put up at the most exclusive clubs
and was distinctly "in the swim"
When he returned to this country he
had become a crack billiard player, a
crack shot and man about town gen
orally. He was fond Of dog fights and
all sorts of sporty" things. In short,

into the vat In a constant stream the
criminal was furnished with a scoop
with which to bale out the water as
fast as 1t came in. The respite from
death by immersion thus obtained was
more or less prolonged, according to the
powers of endurance possessed by the
victim. But imagine the moral torture,
the exhausting and even hideously gro
tesque efforts, the incessant and pitt
less toll by night and day to stave off
the dread moment, fast approaching,
he was unable to struggle any longer
against his fate!
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1898-08-19

the mild art student was thoroughly
transformed into the gilded and giddy
young man of the clubs and the incon-
sequential world. He stayed abroad a
good deal and was attracting no par
ucular attention in this country, being
regarded by his acquaintances as
neither better nor worse than the aver
age man of his type. when suddenly
came the Coleman Drayton scandal.
The social prominence Of all the parties
concerned Mrs. Drayton was a daught
ter Of Mrs. William Astorl and the chalL
lenge to duel (which did not take
place. between Mr. Drayton and Mr..
Borrowe kept society gossiping for a
long time.
Finally that passed away and Hallett
Alsop Borrowe was for a time forgot.
ten. 1t was said that he was living
quietly abroad. Suddenly 1t was dis.
covered that Borrowe had returned to
this country. forsaken the ways Of his
former life. and was employed as car
starter on the trolley road In Newark.
He had started In to work for a living
and had begun at the bottom of the
ladder.
He worked hard. and finally was
made a division superintendent at a
salary of $I5 month. For time his
doings in his new sphere of action were
written about and talked about, and
then the young man was forgotten
again. He was not destined to remain
forgotten long, however for In Novem-
Der. 1896, 1t was announced that Bor-
rowe had married Miss Anna Wheeler
Corbin. Austin Corbin's youngest
daughter.
1t seems that the Borrowe and Cor
bin families had been intimate when
Hallett Alsop was a schoolboy. and his
especial friend had been the youngest
daughter. The schoolboy love had re-
malned through all the Intervening
years. and Borrowe had gone to work
on the trolley line to prove that he had
reformed and was living a life which
made him worthy to marry his boy
hoods love.

HAY AS SECRETARY OF STATE.
Ambassador to England to Succeed
Day When He Resigns.

Washington, Aug. l5.-It seems to be
settled that Ambassador Hay is to sue
coed Secretary Day when the latter be-
comes chairman of the peace commission.
The authority for this statement is I'M
official but from a source which shows
that such is the determination of the
president at present
The indications are that Secretary Days
resignation from the state department will
be in and accepted within week. 1t is
understood that the president contem-
plates the appointment OF Secretary Day
to a circuit judgeship after the work of
the peace commission has been finished.

Derivation OF the Word Adm,ra,


The word admiral is derived by the
dictionaries in a rather roundabout
fashion from the Arabic emir, a word
which has been variously translated
lord, commander, general. An emir
was an officer in the Saracenic and aft
erward in the Turkish army. and. as
these were composed mostly of caval-
ry, the emir was originally a cavalry
officer. AS the conquests of the Turks
broadened the Turkish Sultans began
to make war upon the sea. as well as
upon the land. and the officers who
commanded fleets and vessels retained
the title that they had when directing
suuadrons of horse. The title is found
among the Algerine and Barbary pi.
rates and is first noticed in English use
during the reign of Edward Ill, when
officers were commissioned as "Amyrel
of the Sc" or Admiral Of the Navy"

1t Is little wonder that foreigners de-
spair of learning to speak our language.
One of the greatest difficulties is the
way in which the same syllable sounds
have often very different meanings.

Greedy Little Fish

The little fish known as miller's
thumb-the fresh water sculpin-is one
OF the natural checks on the overpro-
duction of trout and salmon. 1t eats
the eggs and the young fish. 1t is found
in all trout waters as fast as examined.
1t Is very destructive. At an expert
ment once made in the aquarium of the
United States Fish Commission in
Washington a miller's thumb about
four and one-half inches long ate at a
single meal, and all within a minute or
two, twenty-one little trout, each from
three-Quarters to an inch In length.
