VICTORIES OF SHIP BUILDERS.
Having Honored Soldiers and Sailors Let Us do Justice to Our
 Manufacturers

Admiral Dewey has cabled that tho Oregon has completed it's secCnd great voyage within a year and is now safe and sound at Manila, where it will aD- p~opriately become the flagship of the first naval commander of this genera tiOn. The performances of the Oregon are as much a feather in the cap of American manufacturers as in that of the navy. It was not constructed for a sea-going vessel but for the defcn5- i've work of Q slow moving battleship yet it has made two trips around the hemisphere and across the Pacific with a speed that rivals the best work of armored cruisers. More than that, at the battle of Santiago it ran down and owerhauled the swiftest ship in the Spanish squadron, going so fast that. the dispatches said, the Iowa seemed to be standing still in comparison.
 The record of the Oregon's voyages ought to be a lesson to people who are continually declaring that the old days of honesty and skill in manufacturing have passed away forever and that the old high standard of thoroughness has been ignored. When the contract fer building the Oregon was let to the Union Iron works of San Francisco. it was done, it was alleged, simply be- cause of the influence of the California senators, and it was predicted that the work would be more expensive and not so well done as would have been the case in the east. We have not seen the bills of the Oregon's builders but the construction of such a vessel was cheap at any price. The fact that the OlYm- pia and other vessels in Adm ;ral Dew ey's original fleet were also built at San 
 of the Pacific coast are the equal in skill and honesty of any manUfactur- CTS in the world.-Louisyille COlrie.- Journal.

A LESSON TO ALL COMMUNITIES

The Pittsburg Times reports that there is very perceptibly felt short- age of workingmen in Pittsburg and western Pennsylvania. Ths recent heavy and phenomenal advances in the price of iron and steel, wire. tin plate and metals generally have produced a corresponding boom in nearly all in dustrial enterprises and an activity in all branches of business that have ne cessitated the employment of many more wOrkmen-thCusand in the az gregate All of the widely diversified industries of Pittsburg and the sur- rounding territory are now working in full force, and in many cases they are only prevented from starting up addi- tional departments or still further in creasing present forces by their inabil- ity to secure the needed operatives. There is but one cause for the general prosperity of Pittsburg shown by this picture, and that is the diversity of its industries, which is so wide as to more than use up all the labor in the city and suburbs; and there is a lesson in it for every town where these condi- tions never prevail because they depend upon one or two lines Of trade which are busy only at intervals. So long as a community turns it's back upon ap- portunities to add to it's number and character of industries it must expect to enjoy only such intermittent pros perity as the varying fortunes of it's limited resources permit.

WINDSORS IN EVERY CITY.

Every city has it's one or more Wind
 sors, and each city is threatened in
 greater or less degree with scenes like l those recently described with horrible
 details in our columns Hotels, thea
 ters. factories and tenements in which
 from dozens to hundreds of precious
 lives are housed temporarily or perma- nently abound throughout the country
 that are finder boxes and fire traps. and corridors make them as ready a prey to flames as the great New York hostelry proved to bs, and with the scenes of the Windsor horror viviGly
 before our eyes, it is fearful to con- template what might happen to their occupants in an evil moment. The dangers of the cid style construction Of large buildings ought to be so appar- ent to their owners that every possible protection should be thrown around the people who swarm in them. There should be some adequate means of warning in cases of grave danger, a constant fire patrol, an abundance of rope near all windows, well constructed fire escapes and system of rules for emergencies. Such is not the case with the majority of large structures. In few there are all of these provisions, in many, some of them, but in mos: there is a reckless disregard Of the danger overhanging the occupants. The Windsor catastrophe should set legis- interests often oppcsa the compuIsion of precautionary measures, out private interests should not be permitted to stand in the way of the pubiic safety There should be strict laws governing these matters, and under those laws a strict accounting for their violation.

Parties who met the two Barfoot brothers on the Dia- mond A range notified Sheriff Blair Of Silver City and also Cattle Inspector S. w. Brown Of Deming. Both Of these officials promptly wrote to MT. Riggs and steps were at once taken to cap ture the fugitives and recover thc. horses. Malcolm Barfoot was found at or near Cooks Peak, N. M, and Con stable Burt Alvord brought him back Sunday night. He had his preliminary examination before Judge Nichols Monday, and though Judge Boone of Deming appeared in his defense, lie was bound over to answer for the crime of grand larceny. J. J. Riggs, Esq, is here and expects soon to hear of the capture of Noah Barfoot and the stolen horses, as Sheriff Blair and George Scarborough are on their trail.
 Chuck" Barfoot, who has been here for couple of weeks, is thought b have been spying. Constable Alvord found that he was wanted at Silve: City to this place. The stolen saddle was found here in his possession and he was accordingly taken back by an officer of Grant county. There will be a serious draft upon the BarfOot clan. if proof of the alleged crimes of the three above named scions can be secured and ad- duced at their trial.-Arizc1a Range News.

AN AMERICANS MEDAL FRON
 THE KAISER.

Herman Hunsmsnn, of Dayton, Ky, on Thursday last received a Wilhelm der Crosse medal from King William of Germany. The medal was awarded for meritorious service in three wars under the great William-the wars of 1864, 1866 and the Franco-Prussian war of 1S71 Mir Husmann is a native of Hanover, and was born on January 25, 1S49 He entered the German army on January 25, 1864, his eight nenth birthday. Later his father be- came unable to support himself and Mr. HCsmann left the service and re- turned to the home of his parents where there were thirteen brothers and sister. He had served by this time and there was not a mark against him. In 1871, after the Franco-Prussian war, he came to America and to Dayton, Ky, in 1874. He has lived there ever since. Tho bronze medal of honor which he has just received was made from a cannon captured from the French.-Cincinnati Times-Star.

WHAT ENGLAND IS DOING FOR
 INDIA.

The British government has done much for India that India could never have done for itself. One of the chief benefits it has conferred upon the coun- try is the enlargement and develop ment of an irrigation system, on which, a region of the climatic character Of India is so dependent. Storage tanks have been constructed in large num- bers in southern India and in the northwest provinces many miles or canals have been built. Official reports show that there are now 41,00O miles of these artificial waterways, which have. of course, transformed the m dustrial conditions of the localities in which they are situated. Not long ago 9OO,0OO acres of rice crops were saved from entire destruc- tion in Bengal by this means. The sys- tenn will undoubtedly be developed TUT ther, until every portion of India Is protected from droCghts. This IS the kind of burden that MT. Kipling re- ferreG to when he urged the white man to take it up. For our own sake as well as that of the people of the trop- lcs We must direct the work of making these regions more habitable and pro ductive.-Providence Journal.

Probably most of the public accept that as proving the impossibility of making use of the ticket and therefore few make any at tempt to get the worth of their money when they were prevented by any cause from using the ticket on the date maik k ed on it.

THE YoUNGsTER TCLD HIM.

A school inspector was examining a class in grammar and trying to eX- plain the relations of adjectives and nouns by telling an example.
 Now, for instance" he said, what am 1?"
 That was an easy question. and all the children shouted, "A mani" and then looked around triumphantly, as much as to say. Ask another"
 'Yes, but what else?" said the in spector.
 This was not so easy, but after a pause a boy ventured to suggest, "A little man."
 ''Yes, but there is something more than that"
 This was a poser for the youngsters, but, after a moments puzzled silence, an infant phenomenon almost leaped from his seat in his eagerness, and cried to the inspector:
 Please, sir, I know-aE ugly little man!"-London Tid-Bits.

HOW AMERICANS GET AHEAD.

A contract to build bridge across the Atbara river, in the Soudan, has been awarded to Philadelphia firm by the British war office because the Philadelphians agreed to complete the job in seven weeks, whereas the Eng fish bridge builders from whom esti- mates had been invited could not prom ise to get the bridge in place in less than seven months. Not long ago the English Midland Railway company came here for locomotives because it wanted them in a hurry and couldn't get them at home until after a long de- lay. These things help to explain why our manufacturers are making such serious inroads upon .he foreign market. They don't say a thing cant be done because it is out of their ordi- nary experience. They adapt them selves to the emergency and work over time to fill an order. That's why they are so constantly getting there.-Phila- delphia Inquirer.

I saw General Wood Che had been call ing him nothing but doc beforel and tried to slap him on the back and put my feet on the table and all that sort of thing, and the way he called me down was a caution to snakes. After that he explained the necessity of up holding the dignity of the office, and he did it in such a nice. manly way that l simply couldn't get mad l mention this incident" said MT Watson in con- clusion, because it indicates how ad- mirably Wood has risen to the occa- sion and what a downright sensible fellow he really is.

 Malcolm and one of his brothers are accused of stealing twelve lead of B. Riggs horses from the range near PineTy canyon. Their plan of opera tions was well conceived. Several years ago MT.

WHEN AN ENGAGEMENT IS NOT
 AN ENGAGEMENT.

It may relieve some puzzled minds to know that that form Of friendship eX- isting between two young people of op- posite sexes and generally called an ..unders rssanding" has at last been de- tined. A man who has observed and pcadered says that an understand ing is so called because nobody un- derstands it. least of all the parties most interested This is conclusively proved. he asserts, by the fact that after an understanding has bean broken the one who broke says there was nothing to break, which the other fatIy denies, proving plainly that they did not understand each other, what ever outsiders may have done. Surely this is clear enugh for the most be- wildered to grasp. The up-to-date ce- nundrum books give another definition: When is an engagement not an en- gagement?" they ask. When it's an understanding" is the answer.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

Governor Roosevelt ordered that Mrs. Places execution should not be made "an excuse for that species of hideous sensationalism which is more demoralizing than anything else to the public mind;" accordingly none of the yellow journals were permitted to have representatives at the execution, but that did not prevent the same journals from printing stories, in hor- rible detail, from eye-witnesses who were not there. Each one had a spec ial, exclusive account. If the object had not been so grim, the contest of yellow imagination would have been amusing. After all, the blame for the stuff rests primarily upon those read CTS who patronize such enterprise. :"

Now it is General Joe" Wheeler who is the victim of the envious troublemaker Having involved Shaf- ter, Ludlow. Sampson Schley and other gallant warriors in unseemly fusses and musses. he has turned upon the old hero of Santiago and charged that he disobeyed Shafters orders and favored a retreat from before the Spaniards. Whom did we have in this recent war, anyway, worthy of praise? It seems to have been glorious ly fought and won by a lot of men who, if the stay-at-home critics are to be believed, were fools, towards or knaves at Washington or in the field. Hardly man from the President down who had anything to do with the operations against Spain has escaped the malice and envy of some man or set of men, As tree is known by it's fruit, so the warrior must be known by his vic tories and defeats.
