THOUSANDS VIEW A FENCE.
ii VIII IncIose Graves of Maine Vic
Tins mt Key West.


Probably five thousand people viewed
the Maine memorial fence, which was on
exhibition at the Jorss Iron Works yes
terday This fence will be sent TO the
Key West cemetery. and will inclose the
graves of tYenty-four sailors Of the bat
tleship Maine, who sank with their vessel,
and the graves of the four seamen who
were killed on the torpedo boat Winslow,
in the fight off Cardenas.
The fence is a remarkably fine piece of
work, and is a fitting ornament for the
resting place of the naval heroes. 1t is
five feet high and will inclose an area of
about forty square feet.
In the center are two high gates of
magnificent design. These are of wrought
iron and bronze. A great battle-ax tops
the center with smaller axes of bronze
on either side. In the center of each gate
is a handsome bronze emblem with
great eagle with outspread wings clutch
ing stand of American flags. These are
surrounded with army and navy emblems,
sabers, cannon and wreaths
Below these are large bronze plates,
which bear the inscription: Presented
by Encampment 60, Union Veterans I'm
ion, Washington D. c. The fund for the
construction of this memorial was raised
by popular subscription"
The fence is mounted with little bronze
shields, which bear the letters ~. S. N"
Each post is topped with a battle-ax. The
whole affair is both handsome and sub
stantial and will impress all visitors to
the graves of the dead seamen with the
dignity of the country for which they
died.
The fence was inspected and accepted
by committee from the Union Veterans
Union on Saturday. This organization has
also raised a fund for the care of the
graves which the fence will inclose. The
fence will be shipped to Key West to-
day.

Bismarck as a Beer Drinker

A story is told of Prince Bismarcl,
when he visited London as far back as
1S43, says an exchange. He was taken by
his entertainers to the noted brewery Of
Messrs. Barclay & Perkins, as was GER
tain Austrian general on another men,
orable occasion. His reputation as a
beer drinker had preceded him. and his
hosts presented him with an enormous
tankard Of old ale. The size Of the beaker
conveyed challenge which the young
champion Of Prussian Junkers was not
slow to accept.
This Is his own account of what fol-
lowed, as told by him to Sir Charles
Dixie: II seized the tankard," said he,
"and thought of my country and drank
to Prussia, and tilted 1t till 1t was empty.
Then I thanked my entertainers-cour-
teously, hope-and succeeded in maxi
ing my way as far as London bridge.
There sat down in one Of the stone re-
cesses, and for hours the great bridge
went round and round me-"

'Twixt Beauty and Duty

When Ii Hung Chang came to this
country Richard Harding Davis came on

a nobleman Of degree, was lord high

Now the English and Americans rec
ognize the greatness Of the one and only
Richard, but, not having hobnobbed
with Chinese nobility, the soul Of Dickie
longed to impress them. And one day his
chance came. Davis was sitting in the
saloon with LIS son when up came two
pretty Americans, socially unknown,
who wera coming out with Chevalier's
company. Both held autograph books,
which they put down before the China
man and Dickie. "Mr. Davis" one of
the girls asked courteously. I'VE wanted
to know If you gentlemen wouldn't write
in our albums"
"You must excuse u.s." Davis said frig-
Idly, Il never write except for money"
Really" exclaimed the nobleman,
who spoke perfect English. pulling the
book toward him. you only write for
duty? How fortunate. I write FOR
beauty"

urday. At the decline there was not a.

and 1t was most natural proceeding for
large number of them to at once take
action to secure 1t. From that source came
buying enough to cause a recovery in Sep
tember to 63hc about half an hour from
the start. The price of September kept on
the rise during the forenoon untIl 1t struck

STORIES OF THE DAY
Lord Charles Beresford

Lord Charles Beresford, an idol of the
English populace, is the second son Of
the Rev. John Beresford, fourth marquis
of Waterford.
He was born in 1S46 at Philiptown,
county Dublin, and in 1859 entered the
English navy. He was advanced to the
rank Of commander and was long in
charge of the royal yacht Osborne.
He particularly distinguished himself
at the bombardment Of Alexandria and
was there promoted to the rank Of cap
tain.
In September, 1884. he was or Lord
Wolseleys staff in the Nile expedition
and was the only man Of those in charge
of the machine gun at Abu Kba who was
not killed.
He was especially mentioned In official
dispatches for his gallantry, and in the
speeches of both houses Of parliament
on the vote of thanks for operations in
the Soudan.
His lordship sat in the house of COM
mons as conservative member for Wat
erford from 1874 to 1880, when his candi-
dacy for reelection was unsuccessful.
In 1885 he was elected for the eastern
division of Marylebone. and retained his
seat at the election in the following year.
On Lord Salisbury's accession to
power Charles Beresford was appointed
Junior lord of the admiralty, but in 1883
he resigned the honor on a question
affecting the strength of the navy.
In his address to the electors of York
Lord Charles laid special stress on the
necessity for improving the defenses of
the country and the merchant marine.
It is with this principle that he is most
closely identified in British public life.
Lord Charles now holds the rank of rear
admiral in the British navy.
