How Commodore Bradford Keeps the
BCnLess al Our Great ocean
Fighters IfuIio Coal.

One of the greatest triumphs of the
war which has been hidden from pub
lie observation has been the work of
the several bureaus of the navy de-
partment in furnishing supplies and
equipments for the troops, says
Washington dispatch in the Chicago
Record. As Secretary Long remarked
IL a recent interview. their duties have
been quite as valuable as those of the
feet in Cuban waters or the harbor
of Manila. But for their foresight and
executive ability the ships might have
been helpless for the lack Of fuel, am
munition and food. The superiority
81 our naval organization and the abil-
ity of our bureau chiefs has been dem
onstrated in striking manner One
Of the most remarkable has been fur
nished by the bureau of equipment in
the distribution Of coal. No matter
how frequently or suddenly the scene
CT naval activity is changed, the yes
sells must have fuel, and it has been
Commodore Bradford's business TO see
that loaded golfers were on hand
when they were wanted. Without the
employment of an extra clerk and
without the slightest parade he has
succeeded in keeping the bunkers of
every vessel in the navy full Of coal
from the beginning of hostilities, no
matter whether they were on the
North Atlantic coast or in the Carib-
bean sea, or in the ports Of the Pacific
or the Philippine islands. At the same
time he has been able 10 furnish fuel
for the army transports in both oceans
without allowing his coal piles a the
source of supply to be diminished.
Some idea Of the magnitude of this
task is suggested by the fact that
within the last four months 10000
tons Of coal have been delivered to the
ships Of the United States navy in va
rious parts Of the world, at n cost of
nearly 81 600, coo. Over $4,000 tons have
been distributed from Key West alone
and 10000 tons from Honolulu.

HOW CHINESE RISE.
The Feat Of Cutting OF n Mans Head
Brought One Monaghan
Fortune.

A correspondent supplies us with the
biography of a high Chinese official,
who is now one of the leading authori-
ties on foreign affairs. This man, it
seems. was born in Fatshan, and re-
ceived a good education. lie inherited
some money, which he squandered,
and, being regarded by his family as
bad character, he was turned out.
He then came TO lIong-Kong and set up
as a fortune teller in Taipinshan, where
anyone could have his destiny told
him for few cents. Finding he could
not make much in this line, he again
returned TO Fatshan, where he started
an opium divan. When his friends dis
covered this they again tried to get
rid OF him, and he agreed to 20 away
for good If he was paid 100 taels. The
money was found and the cX-fortune
teller started for Shanghai. When n
clansman with whom lie had in
gratiated himself was promoted TO the
grade of futal, he received an order
from the throne to behead a certain
eunuch, who was in disgrace. but as
the eunuch was "a favorite OF The en-
press dowager, no one dare undertake
the execution of the order until the
subject Of this biography undertook
the task. lie afterward net Ii Hung

AN ANCIENT BOOK.
1t Is Mammoth Volume $50 Years
Old and Is Owned by Massa-
chusetts Man.

One of the recent additions made by
George Walter Vincent Smith to his
collection at the art museum is of un-
usual interest. 1t is an immense book
or missal dating back 10 1889, in which
are inscribed the words and music Of
the Grcgorian chants Of the old Cath
Ollie churches, says the Springfield
(Mass) Republican.
The work in this book is beautifully
done, and its great antiquity is evident
from the first sight. The words are
inscribed by hand in Latin, and he
music is written out in some obsolete
kind Of notation. The pages are of
parchment, and in an almost perfect
state Of preservation. The initial let
tiers are beautifully Illuminated.
y single page is nearly four feet long
by about two feet wide, and one man
can hardly handle the wood. 1t is
bound wiki boards of wood, covered
with leather, somewhat worn, and the
brass when is used for trimmings is
corroded. The book was evidently in
tended for use on some kind of a stand
in some fine old cathedral.
1t is said TO have come from Seville,
Spain, some time ago, and o have been
sold because of the poverty of the
parish in order to make repairs on the
building. There is said to be but one
other such book in this country, and
that is at Detroit.
