The Old Veteran Takes a Cheerful
View OF the War Situation.
New York, June 1.-General Jas.
Longstreet, the aged commissioner of
railroads and former Confederate
officer, and minister to Turkey, is
staying at the Empire Hotel for a
few days upon business matters con-
nected with his Office. Before the
first call for volunteers the general
announced that his services were at
the disposal Of the government. Last
night be repeated that he was willing
to give his services, and regretted
that because he was beyond the age
limit they could not be accepted.
"The annexation of Cuba, it seems
to me-" he said, Twill follow the ex-
pulsion of the Spanish forces from
the island. l do not think the in.
surgent government will be satisfac.
tory or stable for any length of time,
and the lack of peace will result in a
demand from Americans for it's an
nexation to this country. Why, tho
autonomist government was superior
to what I believed the insurgents
will provide. Puerto Rico, I sup.
pose, We must hold, too. The peo-
pie there, however, probably will
give US little trouble, and it is
fertile, rich country. The Philip
pines I do not know much about, and
if I have read correct accounts in the
newspapers, it must be a land of
great resources, and as such will not
be drawback on our government"
When asked how long he thought
the war would last. General Long
street said be bad little means Of
judging, but be thought if policy
of starvation was adopted, it would
mean only matter of few weeks.
If the Spanish armies in various
parts Of the island are cut off from
supplies" he said, Il don't see how
they can stand it more than six
weeks or two months. But. if they
are net embarrassed for food and
ammunition, it seems likely to be a
prolonged conflict"

Got His Nonay's Worth.

This is story about a Washing
ton man who believes in getting the
worth of his money under all circum.
stances.
He stayed at a hotel in neigh
boring city, recently, for few days,
and by some miscbance happened to
scratch the marble top of the bureau
in his room. The injury was slight
but when he come to pay his bill he
found that he had been charged
ten dollars for running the marble
slab. The item infuriated him but
he paid the bill. Then be called for
an ak, took off his coat and announc-
ed that he intended to take ten dol
lars worth of satisfaction out of that
marble top.
He pounded it and he hacked. at
it, dancing about in 6endish glee the
while. The marble cracked and
splintered, but he was not satisfied
with that. He worked mapfully till
a great jagged fragment flew up and
struck squarely in the center of the
large plate glass mirror. 1t cost
him $50 to replace the mirror and he
had to pay for running the ak, too,
but these are mere extraneous de-
tails, and won't affect the principle
of the thing. He had his moneys
worth out OF the marble slab.

Here in the infancy Of sub marine
warfare, the Corfederates who had
everything to learn, succeeded in
blowing up aud totally destroying
twenty-four Federal warships and
transports and disabling six others,
while on their side they escaped
with the comparatively tritiing loss
of three small vessels, blown up ac-
cideDtally by their own mines, and
one armorclad, the Albemarle, blown
up by The Federal torpedo attack
Since this time the progress and de-
velopment Of torpedo warfare has
been incessantly pushed forward
to perfection by the most eminent
chemists, scientists and engineers of
the age, while the increasing size.
displacement and weight Of modern
battleships and cruisers render them
more and more liable to destruction
by the latest forms of torpedoes or
submarine mine attack than was the
fleet of the smaller vessels engaged
in the Federal cause.
On January II, 1885, the we'll
known ship builder J. D'Aquilar
Samuda, launched from bis works at
Poplar, an armored cruiser for the
Brazilian government, which was
named the Aquidaban. The success
of this vessels performances in re-
gard to speed, maneuvering powers
and perfection Of offensive and defen-
sive capabilities caused great inter.
est to be accorded to her not only in
England, but thoughout the world.
About his time the chief construc-
tor of the United States was on
visit to England, buying up his gov
ernment all the best and latest infor-
nation he could possibly obtain OF
modern man of war construction.
Following this visit, Mr.. Hlchborn,
| in a book he afterward published for
private circulation among American
naval officers, reproduced detailed
plans of the Aquidaban, and from
these plans, slightly enlarged, the
Maine was built

A HOME ON THE SEA.

Hanging in his room In the cabin OF an
American bark loading for South Africa, at
n South street wharf, was n picture of the
captains home ashore, in Long Island
town, not far from the city. But easy of
access as this home is, the captain spends very
little time in il, for his wife sails with him,
and, even in this port, they live mostly aboard
the ship. At sea, and I'm foreign ports, when
they speak of home, they mean of course,
their homo on Long Island; but practically
they make their home in the cabin OF the
bark. and n comfortable home, too
Upon the walls of the main room of this
cabin, which is room of spacious dimen-
sions, there are two pictures of the bark
itself. Tn ese are distinctly nautical, but,
aside from them, the furnishing of the room
is such as might be seen in any room devoted

side is piauo: upon the ofher side Is sofa.
In the centre of tho room is n table, upon
which there are hooks and sewing and, here

at night by a lamp like piano lamp, with n
broad, spreading shade, but which, instead of
being upheld by standard with feet resting
on the floor. is here suspended from tho
deck beams running across under the skylight
overhead. There are here deep upholstered
armch airs and other easy chairs, and there
are rugs on the floor. It Is homelike and
attractive room.
Forward of this room is the forward cabin,
which is also the ships dining room. The
mizzenmast comes down through the after
part of this room, going down also through
that end of the fixed table. giving to this
cabin IA decidedly marine touch. Opening off
the main ca bin there are a number of rooms,
including the captains room, which is of
ample size. There is here also room for the
captAin's daughter. who some times sails with
him. As is customary on American deep
water ships, there two or three state
rooms for passengers. who are carried when
they offer On her last voyage to Africa this
vessel carried three passengers.
The captain has sailed for many years. he
is acquainted in ports all around the world,
and wherever ne goes there is no lack OF
social life for himself and his wife. They
have more invitations ashore than they can
accept, and they entertain guests aboard the
shin. which IL indeed their floating home hut

NOT AIMED AT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The New Massac husetts Bill Relating
to the Practice of Medicine

Boston, Jan. 22.-No measure TO come be-
fore the present Legislature has aroused more
discus sion than the bill to amend the law
regulating the practice OF medicine. and
most of the talk has been based ulon u mis-
understanding OF the matter. The impression
got abroad that the bill is aimed especially at
Christian Scientists. but this is denied by
Dr. e. B. Harvey, secretary OF the State
Board OF Registration in Medicine and the
framer of the bill. DR.. Harvey said to Tho

Christian Scientists but only at persons

The ready made stuff that is turned out by

THE PIPE AND THE PIPER.

The recent account of how Gordon
Highlander piper In the Afridis campaign
in India, falling at the head OF ohsrg-
ing column, shot through both ankles,
sat up and continued to play away luEti-
ly at his pibroch while the troops, thus
inspired, rushed on to one of the few splen-
did victories OF the campaign, is re-
ism on the part Of the Highland pipsrs
IN battle that 20 back for generations.
In sons, In story and in straight matter
Of facs history the Highland piper Is an
inspiring figure The piper Of the Cor
dons did but follow the example Of many
pipers before him. Music has, through
all history, been powerful to move the
soldier to deeds of valor, but perhaps no
music of battle has been more inspiring
90 the troops for whom 1t has been play
ed than the pipe Of the pibroch to the
ocOtcn nuu Drisish boiuicios sSSoeiss7a "'
IL has frequently been by marked bray
cry on the part of the killed piper.
1t is told of the pipsr, Kenneth Macksy
Of the Cameron HigKlanders, that at the
fight Of Quatrs Bras be march around and
around the outside of the British square
of bristling bayonets piping merrily, and
that although more than 800 of the Cam
srons went down, he escaped uninjured
to pipe again at Waterloo. That was the
spirit Of the old days in Scotland when the
clans loved dearly to hear the call Of the
piper to fight, and the Highlander in
India evidently had inherited 1t. At
Waterloo the famous 92d, now a battalion
of the Gordons, and the i2d. the famous
Black Watch did marvellous deeds OF valor
1T the call of she pibroch. What the battle
pipsrs did ct the relief of Lucknow all
the world knows, and Tel-el-Ksbir Is
still modern instance of what the pipes
can do in battle, the tired troops in the
dhssrt fighting like demons At its inspir-
ing call. History records. too, almost
exactly similar cases to that OF the Cor
don Highlander In India where the pi-
broch mas not ceased to awaken the echoes

FEATHER LAMP SHADES.

The latest novelty in the Eway OF a lamp
shade is made out OF the soft smooth lying
under feathers taken from the breast and
head of large birds. These shades are not
intended to screen the entire fame They
are set on one side OF the glass globe and
are about as big as very full moon, or an
oval moon, IL that shape is liked better. An
oval shade for a reading lamp Is made or the
gray aud white notified feathers Of the ordi-
nary gray owl, and is designed in the exact
likeness Of the owls head. The short curved
bealS the prominent eyes, with their trimmed
circles. and the outstanding ears ars all re-
produced.s Such a shade costs s2.75. One rep
resonting white owls head is sold for 80
cents more. owing TO the scarcity of the
white owl
There are cheaper feather shades, made
from dyed feathers put together in stcrco-
typed patterns and there are rare and deli
cate shades contrivoi OF rich-tintod bird of
paradise feathers and the blended bues that
hint Of the poafowis plumaee. The suber
grays and pale browns and shaded wood tints
of the hawk and the heron arc most sought
for, but the bright colored feathers make an
effective shade for drawing room lamp or
for one used in room requiring gay colors
Tiny candle shades scarcely larger than sea
shelf and prettiIy cured are also made of
feathers, and the effect is novel and pretty
In all cases the back of the feather shade is
covered with silk Of neutral tint. These
novelties are neither heavy in weight nor
heavy to look at and are rather n relief
from the mufiled and bordered, gimped. aud
futcd paper and silk lamp shades so much
used.-Thc Sun.
