les:
NEW LoxDox. Jan. 8. 1914.
We, the undersigned. have this day examined
the model and plans Of a vessel of war; submitted
by Robert Fulton, to carry "a guns, 81 and 80
pounders and redhot shot, to be propelled by
steam at the speed of four to five miles per hour.
without the aid OF wind tide. The properties
of which vessel are. That, without masts or sails
she can move with sufficient speed; that her ma
chinery being guarded she cannot be crippled;
that her sides thick as to be impenetrable
to every kind of shot, and in a calm or light
breeze she can take choice OF position distance
from an enemy Considering the speed which the
application OF steam has already given heavy
dosting bodies. have full confidence that.
should such q vesscl move only four miles per
hour, she could, under favorable circumstances
which may always be gained enemies YES
sells in our ports. harbors, BAYS and sounds, be
rendered more formi liable to any enemy than any
kind of engine hitherto invented And in such
case she would be equal to the destruction OF one
more seventy -foLrs or OF compelling her OF
them to depart from waters. We, therefore,
give our decided orinion that it is among the
best interests of the United States to carry this
plan into immediate execution.

natives living in the Anamalai hills
'of southern India, show that they
possess n remarkable custom not else
where known in India-viz. the sharp

accomplish by chipping the teeth to a

Wednesday the push" were thrown into an ecstasy of delight by the receipt of a telegram from MT. Chenoweth, in Washington which read:
 "I am re-appointed collector of the district. start home Wednes- day, when I will reinstate all who have been discharged.
 Great was the joy around town. Firecrackers were exploded and frequent aud numerous libations were poured to Mercury.
 But yesterday there came a dampener upon their exhilarated spirits. A telegram was received from Consul Darnall, in the east, which read.
 :Chenoweth not re-instated. Further investigation will be con ducted in Nogales.
 A copy of a letter from the sec retary of the treasury to Collector Hoey was also received, which stated that Mir. Chenoweth insisted that the charges against him are groundless, had demanded further investigation, which the depart ment had granted. He would, of course, be reinstated, if he cleared himself

In few minutes the circle would begin to receive additions or inter- ested auditors, and sometimes it would grow SO great that before he had finished the colonel would have half the regiment as an audience. Of course one oi his most favorite themes was patriotism and the duty of the hour Ever varying, never repeating, he gave the boys of the old Eleventh Illinois cavalry some of the most sublime orations upon that inspiring theme they have ever heard. It is related that after he was captured by General Forrest, he was made a guest at the head quarters of that famous confederate chieftain and given the run of the camp, upon his word of honor that he would not attempt escape, but await exchange or removal to Lib bey when opportunity offered. Wandering around the campColonel Ingersol speedily ingratiated him self into the good graces of Forests soldiers, and soon won their affec- tions as completely as he had cap tivated those of his own men. And there, as in his own camp. his theme was ever patriotism and love for the old flag. One day Forrest abruptly told him that if he remain ed Ill the camp week longer the men would be going Ill body over to enlist in the Yankee army. To avoid that danger Forrest paroled him and sent him through the lines. Bound by his parole to refrain from service, he returned home to Hi nois and shortly left the military establishment. But his ser vice to the cause oi the Union, liberty and humanity never ceased.
 And in his passing from earth, ill the fullness of his years, mankind has lost firm and affectionate friend. While many cannot agree with some of his views. all agree that his great life work was for the uplifting and betterment of man.

COMING THIS WAY.

This week THE OASIS is in re- ceipt of two letters from people of business experience and standing announcing that tue writers are coming to Nogales to locate and bring their families to build homes. Both letters were written by people who have read THE OASIS regular ly for some months past. and have formed their conclusions as to the opportunities and openings here presented. from careful study of its columns. The writer of one will come very shortly with fine stock of goods and embark in business, while the other will come carly next year.
 Both writers took occasion to compliment THE OASIS upon its fearlessness and candor in dealing with public affairs. One of them particularly declared that town and county with newspaper which feared not to criticise public ser wants were safe to settle in, be- cause Tit argued a state of public sentiment which would keep public matters straight and head off the rule of boodlers."
 With disinterested commenda- ton such as this, coming from en- tire strangers, as well as the heart felt and earnest commendation the paper has received from citizens of long standing in Nogales and Santa Cruz county, THE OASIS has no small reason for self complacency. The two letters quoted bear out the assertion heretofore made in these columns that full and free discus sion of public affairs never hurts any town. Rather does such dis cussion help build up, because it attracts attention to the town and it advertises to homeseekers the ex- istence in that place of healthy public sentiment which in the end will control affairs and will control them rightly. Nogales will prove no exception in that particular.

PASSING OF THE GREAT AcsosrIo,
The death of Robert G. Inger-

l - the intellect of the nineteenth cen tury a most remarkable impression. Radical in thought and clear in ut terance, with a lofty scorn for cant and hypocrisy, he assailed bitterly l the orthodox creeds of earth at a time when such assaults seemed sacrilegeous. That he unsettled belief there can be no doubt, but before he passed away he had the satisfaction of having the church occupy some of the very positions of his earlier years, which were vigorously condemned by his critics at the time they were first present. ed. The key to his doctrine was that revelation was not proof and that the doctrines of the church, based upon revelation could not stand. Yet his creed had all the Divine affection of the Christ, and his sympathy was ever extended in practical and most beneficial forms to the suffering and needy.
 It was the fortune of the writer to know Colonel Ingersol as a sol dier; he was the commander of one of the two regiments i'll which the editor served when he was mere boy. As man Ingersol was be- loved and almost idolized by his men but as a commander he was almost valueless. He lacked dis cipline, abhorred restraint by his supeIiors, and dreaded the carnage of battle-no through fear, because he was as brave as lion; but he frequently asserted that when in battle he was unnamed by the thought of the widows and orphans who were being made, and the de solation of homes and hearthstones the necessary result. So when he was captured by Forrest and parol- ed by that commander, the oppor- tunity it gave him to return to his home, resign his commission and leave the service was accepted with alacrity.
 Recognizing his own unhtness for military life he early left all matters of discipline and the handling of the regiment i'll action to its lieut. enant-colonel {Funk, farmer by vocation, but born soldieI.) To Ingersol the regiment was but a great family and he the indulgent father. Upon many occasions was he known to intercede with Lieut. enant Colonel Funk and induce the latter to mitigate or suspend the sentence for some 'infraction of mill itary duty. In camp he freely cir culated among tue men, in con yersation and entering into all their hopes and fears, joys and aspirations, like one of them. His ordinary conversation was as elo- queut as his speeches. lectures and writings. The most commonplace subjects were treated with the same IL .>f

Fathers.

The Paducah Leader of last Sunday
publishes portraits of its newly-elected
city officials, among them being that of
Edward d. Harmon, formerly of this
city, who will represent the First ward of
Paducah in the City Council. He is the
youngest man in that body, as we'll as
one of the most popular, as attested by
the great vote cast for him. He was born
here in 1867, but removed to Pa
ducah in 1890 to engage in the plumbing,
gas aud steam fitting business, and con-
ducts the largest establishment in that
part of the State. The Leader says of
him: "Mr. Harmon was married in 1894,
and is member of the Catholic church.
He was elected at the last election and
will serve as Councilman for the next
two years. He is an honest, clever bust
ness man, and will make the city of Pa
ducah first-class Councilman. He is a
true Democrat. His many friends in
the First ward are gratifed at his success.

JOHN CUDAHY HERE.

John Cudahy, the famous Chicago
pork packer, was here this week in con-
nection with his interests in the Louis
vile Packing Company. He found the
local institution in a hourishing condi-
toin and doing an exceptionally large
business. 1t may not be generally known
that the Louisville Packing Company
has furnished the Government with a
large share of its product, which has
always been found to be the very best
obtainable. Under the able manage
ment of Messrs. Clancy and Moran this
house is attaining a worldwide fame,
their foreign shipments being now
larger than those of many establishments
catering only to the foreign trade. Dur
ing the Cuban war the soldiers who we're
supplied with meats from any of the
Cudahy houses never had cause to COM
