AMERICAN BOYS BATTLESHIP.

Patriotic Youths Are Determined to
Secure Recognition.
Cincinnati, March 5.-Among the pro-
jects to which the short session of con-
gress was unable to give favorable con-
sideration was that to have a battle
ship named THE American Boy" The
national committee of the American
Boy association, Jan. 20, decided to
visit Washington in a body and appeal
to the president, Secretary Long and
members OF the congress to name one
of the new warships the American
Boy" and allow the contributions which
the youth of the country have sent here
and will continue to send from the first
installment for it's construction. This
committee reached Washington Jan. 26,
and had a satisfactory interview with
President Mckinley, afterwards seeing
senators, representatives and others on
Jam 80. Representative Cromwell of
Cincinnati offered a joint resolution au-
thoriZing the secretary of the navy to
call the next battleship constructed
1.-The American Boy" and to receive
and deposit in the United States treas
ury as a special fund for the construc-
ton of said battleship all contributions
which may be rendered to him for the
purpose of defraying the expense there
of, said contributions to be in addition
to any amount that might be appropri-
ated for the construction of battleships.
Secretary Long had advised the COM
mittee of the law to name all battle
ships after states, cruisers after cities,
etc. This measure was favorably re-
ported by the naval committee, but it
was killed in the house on a point of or
der by Mr.. Boutelle. The boys have re-
turned from Washington, determined to
press their work harder than ever. and
they say they are receiving letters of
encouragement from all parts of the
country. They pay their own expenses
and deposit all contributions in the
Market National bank, and are conf
dent that they will succeed at the next
session of congress.

palian, made a handsome subscription,
as also did a leading Hebrew merchant

Two monks, who had been commit
ted to a lengthy seClusion, contrived to
beguile the dreary hours of their con-
tinement without b.~aKing the rule of
silence which had been imposed on
them, by showing each other small
fat stones marked with black dots. By
precOncerted arrangement the win
ner would inform the other player of
his victory by repeating in an under
tone the first line of the vesper prayer.
In process Of time the Two monks man
aged to complete the set of stones and
to perfect the rules of the game, so
that when the term OF incarceration
had expired the game was so interest
ing it was generally adopted by all in
mates Of the monastery as a lawful
pastime. 1t very soon spread from
town to town and became popular
throughout Italy, and the first line Of
the vespers was reduced to the single
word domino, by which name the
game has ever since been known.

Of great historical interest 1t is an
old Indian reservation, and was so oc-
cupied for a long period prior to the
revolutionary war. Just before the
war of 1912 Fort Stephenson was built
and became famous through Major
George CrOghan's gallant defense of it
against the combined attack of naval
and land forces of Great Britain under
Proctor, and Indians under Tecumseh,
in August, 1913.
The tract, at the time of the Indian
occupancy, was uncleared and much OF
it boggy. The dampness gave a pc

Several brides have been presented
with marriage portions far exceeding
their weight in gold. The average
weight OF bride will not exceed 100
pounds. or 1850 ounces, and that at
$40 per ounce is Sal, 500. The marriage
portion Of Miss Pauline Whitney,
daughter Of ex-Secretary Whitney, was
$1,000, 600. or more than twenty-four
times her weight in gold. Miss Margot
Tenants marriage portion OF $15, 900 a

Like the Three Tailors of TooIey Street"
From the Indianapolis Journal: The
herman newspaper publishers Of Mis-
burr seem to be taking themselves too
Ieriously The total number Of Ger
nan newspapers published in Missouri
is thirty eight, Of which six are pub
lished daily, twenty-five weekly, and
the rest semi-weekly or monthly. II
every German newspaper publisher in
Missouri was present at the St. Louis
meeting, which is not at all probable,
the total attendance would have num-
bered thirty-eight. AS popular dem
onstration this does not greatly out
class the three tailors Of Tooley
street, Nor is there any reason to
believe that the mass OF the German
Americans in Missouri are excited
about the alleged Misrepresentation
concerning the attitude of the Ger
man government or the relations be-
tween the United States and Germany.
There was no occasion for the meet
ing nor for the protestations regarding
the loyalty of German-Americans
which no one questions. There are
over 1000 English newspapers pub
lished in Missouri. II the publishers
OF these papers should hold meeting
and pass resolutions condemnlng the
