COLUMBIA AGAIN FLoATED.
The Work of Frightening Up Her
Under bottom Completed.

Bristol, R. l.. July 25.-The Columbia
was floated from the railway at o'clock
this morning. A few patches of the hull
in the vicinity of the bilges that were not
cleaned yesterday were finished today by
the crew. AT $50 o'clock the under body
was nearly in as bright condition as it
was when the craft was launched. The
stagings were removed from the under
body in preparation for floating the new
boat from the marine railway. The work
of letting the boat slide down the railway
in the cradle occupied only a few min
utes. 1t took several minutes to remove
the boat from the cradle in the deep
channel The Columbia was then turned
around by means of kedge anchors. With
her bow heading off shore she was warped
in stern foremost alongside the north pier
and made fast. The derrick steamer
Archer dropped alongside of the Columbia
at 10 O'Clock for the purpose of taking out
the big Oregon pine mainmast. The new
steel mast is all ready in the south con-
struction shop. II was found by experience
with the Defender that the wooden mast
hoops are not as durable on steel masts
as they ought to be. The Columbia is to
have something brand new in mast hoops.
They are of metal and galvanized. Being
of metal they are thinner than wooden
ones. The new hoops are already strung
on the mast. Today the spar will be
moved out OF the shop to be stepped.

SCENES THAT COAX SUICIDE.
Many Feel Impeiied TO Jump From
High Places.
From the Philadelphia Record.) }

Grom the Philadelphia Record)
Many persons who visit Niagara Falls
ind they have great desire to leap from
various points on the several bridges or
from one OF the numerous points OF OBJ
servation. For this reason, after once hav-
ing experienced the fascinating sensation
| that coaxes them on to death in the deep
| and rapid running waters, they never go
near any Of the seductive points without
being in company with some one who will
guard them from harm as a result of what,
perhaps, might be termed by some their
weakness.
Many people who have visited Niagara
have confessed that the waters Of the
beautiful river had weird fascination for
them while standing at places where death
would be easy by simply letting go ones
hold and slipping into the river, and peo-
pie saved from suicide they have admitted
that they knew no reason why they should
end their lives, but the scene was so de-
lightful that it coaxed them to seek the
peace OF death there.
In other places than at Niagara the pub
lie comes in touch with folks who. when
on an elevation, have proneness TO jump
on, and for this reason they keep away
from all such danger points. An interest
ing explanation of this desire is that given
some years ago by Prof. Lowe OF the Ar
my Balloon Corps. He had frequently in
vited newspaper correspondent to make
an ascension with him, but each time the
invitation was declined
Later he told the professor OF the
temptation he had to jump from high
places, and that he feared making an as
cent. For this he was laughed at, the pro-
fessor stating that the reason people had
such desires was that they were full of
electricity; that the magnetic current in
| the earth was the attraction, and that what
he was standing on carried the current He
also said that up balloon the continuity
was cut off. Finally the man made as
ascension, and found that the desire to
jump was not present. 1t Is a curious
statement

An Indian Chief.

From the Chicago lnter-0cean.)
When Simon Pokagon, chief of the Pot
tawatomie Indians. died recently in Michi-
gan he left a legacy to his son, Charles
Pokagon, in the shape of an old claim TO
the ownership of valuable property in Chi
cago and Iowa. Charles Pokagon has now
been chosen as chief of the tribe, and with
ell the sanguine energy of a young man
Charles proposes to push the claim of his
tribe to Chicago lands, which the -Potta-
watomies once owned. and which he as
serts have never legally passed from their
ownership, and also to 100000 acres of
land in Iowa, on which the Indians once
lived
If the claim is successful the Pottawato-
mics will be by far the richest Indians in
the country, every individual owning an
independent fortune.
Il am not the chief of poor tribe. -
says young Pokagon. proudly. we have
money and lands. We have 10000 acres
of salable land beyond our needs. 1t has
never been allotted. II is worth SO an
acre. If we win the suit-but won't talk
much about that
Il am pleased and proud that l have
been selected as the chief. My father was
chief, but If l were an unworthy son the
tribe would have selected another. He was
a good man.
NY idNItI was bOIH III IbhdSOu NittdSb.
Michigan, in 1880. His father was Chief
Leopold Pokagon, who was accused of mur-
dering people at the Fort Dearborn mas
sacre, where Chicago now stands. You
have read my fathers article. just printed
in Harper's Magazine You have seen
that he tells how in many cases the In
dians spared women and children who
lived to tell the story OF their danger and
escape, and how the Chicago massacre
could never have taken place but for the
folly of your people. He shows there how
merciless the white people have been to
tn red man.
My father was a most learned Indian
He knew English. French, Greek. and
Latin, besides the noble tongue of our race
He has written for 'Harper's, The Centu-
ry, The Review of Reviews and other
magazines. You should have seen my IA
ther at the Worlds Fair, He was the first
to ring the Liberty Bell He was the city's
guest-the representative OF Chicago's old
est family-and he made great address.
Our tribe owned the Chicago site. The
land was sold to the United States Gov
ernment for 3 cents an acre, but IL was not
paid for until 1890. My father said: i
have become an old man trying to get pay
for my people for their lost birthright.' "

The Straw Hnt.

From the Chicago Record.)
The approach of the straw hat aeason
encourages Travis McMain to offer the
following observations:
No one knows who wears the first straw
hat in straw hat time. Ask any man, and
If he doesn't acknowledge that he saw
other men wearing straw hats before he
bought one he is probably lying. But
approximately about June Is the average
citizen finds himself removing his old felt
hat and regarding the moistened and dark
ened band therein with little favor.
A few days later he stalks perspiringly
and desperately into a hat store, where he
is pleased TO note that several other men
are smirking at their reflections in the
glass from beneath nice, clean, new straw
hats.
The smiling salesman dives deep INTO a
cylindrical box and produces a spotless
straw hat, which he sets gently upon the
customers head.
To be more exact he sets it upon the
customers ears, and he resembles stage
hobgoblin.
Another dive into another cylindrical
box brings to light hat of smaller cali
bre, which rocks insanely upon the Gus
TONER'S Uranium and causes him to cast
reflection in the pier glass as of prat-
Ting infant in trousers.
Finding that through the magic !nflu-
ence of straw hats of divers kinds he re-
sembles a Methodist divine, Harlem
sport, Grover Cleveland. and Green River
pirate, he selects hat by size rather
than style.
He reasons, Of course, that man never
looks his best in a hat. The new hat is
stiff and gummy as to touch; II grips his
temples and possesses air spaces fore and
aft that New York Sunday paper could
not fill.
In forcing it down to make 1t fit, the
brim thereof acquires that pathetic droop
which characterizes the Salvation Army
bonnet, and his forehead the peculiar fin
ish of a Missouri corncob.
But he has bought straw hat.
He enjoys undisputed possession of his
new hat for several blocks, when 1t is dis
puted by sudden gust of wind. In an in
slant he is numbering after an elusive
straw hat, which rolls and bounds hilari-
ously before him on its stiff new brim.
Finally a newsboy jumps upon it with
both muddy feet and restores it, batter
ed wreck, to its indignant owner, who
carefully wipes the mud into It's rough
surface and smoothes out the battered
brim, which greatly resembles a. circular
saw after an encounter with a rafting
spike.
1t is no longer a new hat, no longer a
thing OF beauty, the envy Of his acquaint
ances.
From well-dressed man he has degen-
Grated into simply man in straw hat.
After few weeks use, and with a haZy
! idea of the probable result he takes il a
done while you-wait renovating establish
| ments.
1t Is returned to him three sizes smaller
and of beautiful eeru tint.
| And when the goosefiesh breezes make
an overcoat necessity, and CONVENTIONAL
| ty protests bitterly against the use of a
straw hat in conjunction with the same
