HOW MEN CARRY MONEY.

To the initiated, a mans nationality
is betrayed by the way the carries his
money. The Englishman carries his
loose in his right hand trousers pocket
gold, silver and copper all mixed UP
together He pulls a handful of the
mixture out of his pocket in large,
opulent way and selecCs the coin he has
need of.
The American carries his wad Of bills
in peculiar, long, narrow pocketbook,
in which the greenbacks lie fiat The
Frenchsnan makes use of a leather
purse, with no distinguishing char
acteristics, while the Germans use one
gaily embroidered in silks by the fair
hands Of some Lottchen or Nina.
The half civilized capitalits from
some torrid South American city car
ries his dollars in belt, with cunning
ly devised pockets to baff1e the gentle
men with the light fingers. Some of
these belts are very expensive.
The Italian of the poorer classes ties
up his little fortune in a gaily colored
handkerchief secured with many knots,
which he secretes in some mysterious
manner about his clothes.
A similar course has charms for the
Spaniard, while the lower class Rus
sian exhibits preference for his boots
or the lining of his clothes as a hiding
place for his savings.

SOME OF ARCHER'S OBSERVA
TIONS.

William Archer contributes to the
his reflections on the attitude of north
and south, as noted by him during his
visit in this country last spring. He
notes the fact that Americans were
gushing over the sick Kipling and
crowding him with ad7IlatiOn at the
time when he was standing on the
steps of the capitol at Washington re-
f1ecting upon the burning of the old
capitol by British Tommy Atkinses in
1912. Mr.. Archer found that the Span
ish war ''has done a great deal to bring
north and south together He
sketches the period of the war and the
post-bellum reconstruction period and
the bitterness of the southern feeling
and the gradual healing of the wound
after the conciliatory administration Of
President Hayes, and now the material
prosperity of the south has done much
to wipe out ranking animOsities and
the unreconstructed rebels are not very
numerous. There is more mutual COM
prehension and mutual appreciation.
The Spanish war, too, Mr.. Archer
thinks, deposed the civil war from it's
position as the last event of great ex-
ternal picturesqueness in the national
history. Mr.. Archer notes that the
south is very proud and the older gen
Grafton is a little inclined to resent
what it regards as the "condescending"
advances Of the north. These old fell
lows say the south was sighted in the
actual conduct of the Spanish war and
southern regiments and officers were
kept in the back ground" which is
absurd. Many regiments north and
south were not needed and there was
no "slighting' at all Of either officers
or men. General Lee and General
Wheeler certainly are conspicuous in
stances Of the utilization of southern
talent Mr. Archer reviews the
changes brought about by the war for
the union-war for unity against null
tiplicity, and unity conquered and will
stay. He thinks this fact has immense
significance and that the
day will come when Vicksburg and |
Gettysburg will be names of larger |
historic import than Waterloo or Sc |
dan" Mr.. Archer, in conclusion, hints |
at the significance Of common Ian
guage dominant in the British empire
and in the United States, which sug-
gests the possibility of federation. New

NAVY'S GREAT TESTING TANK.

At the great navy yard in Wash
ington, D. c., is a singular building
recently constructed over a tank or
basin, in which are to be towed
through the water in miniature mod
els of projected battle-ships. It is a
gigantic structure, 500 feet long and so
feet wide, with a crystal roof so feet
above the basin, and its exterior of
shimmering white gives it some re-
semblance to the buildings of the Col
umbian exposition. 1t is generation
since the first experimental tank was
built in England, but it was found so
fruitful in suggestions and demon
STATIONS for the benefit of the navy
that Russia and France shortly fol-
lowed suit Americans will be glad
to know that this tank, just completed
and about to Zoe inaugurated, is the
largest ever built, and that the equip
ments and devices are much test Of
their form and FRACTIONAL resistance.
They bear little resemblance to the
midget more elaborate and complete
than ever before installed anywhere
The interior Of the building is novel
in its details. The tank is few feet
narrower than the building, and some
so feet shorter, ranging in depth from
5 to 20 feet. Immediately above it,
stretching across its entire width, is a
vast steel travelling crane or carriage,
supported upon wheels which run on a
single rail at each side of the building
the whole length of the tank This
traveller will draw the model boats, and
is capable of a speed of 20 miles an
hour, or can be slowed down to a speed
of only 500 feet an hour. 1t is pro-
PEELED by electricity, and is under min
ute and accurate control of the engi-
neer, who stands above the motor. On
the platform at one end of the tank are
two models of future ships awaiting a
toy model on exhibition in the CORR
doris of the navy department, for in
stead of being or feet long like
them, these are u to 20 feet long, Or
on a scale of one inch to a foot. They
are constructed in the finest style Of
the cabinet-maker's art, of matched
cedar, highly vanished to insure a
speedy passage through the water
! Gin foreign tanks boats are made Of
| paraffine) During the test these boats
are so heavily ballasted, so as to make
them draw as much water in proper
ton as will the ships of which they are
the prototypes when laden with armor,
guns and equipments. The engineer
in charge will be provided on the
travelling carriage which draws the
| boats with delicate machinery for
measuring their speed weight and the
various dynamic forces involved; and
submarine waterpipes are arranged to
roughen the surface of the tank so as
to give an approximate imitation of a
storm at sea.-Leslie's Weekly.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY WON THE GIRL
The Renaissance Of a Denver Man
Who Wanted Her Too.

Unknown to Admiral Winfield Scott
| Schley, who will honor Denver with a
visit, there is prominent Office holder
Of Denver who will feel like extending
double congratulations to the brave
naval hero. In the younger days of
Scott" Schley, as he was called by mis-
intimate friends, love troubles came to
him as they did to many young grad
yates Of the naval academy at Annap-
oils. Schley was never recognized
as a persistent sutton, and how he man
aged to win the hand of pretty Annie
Franklin of Annapolis is still a mys-
terry of the Office ho-oer, who believes
himself to have been favorite with
the young lady.
Schley, through his associations at
Annapolis, grew to know the promi-
nent families in that portion of Mary
land very well. There were several
of the Franklin girls said the Office
holder and disappointed lover of days
ago, ''and they were all pretty Miss
Annie, whom the young naval lieuten-
ant won for his wife, was the most
charming of all the girls. l had
known her for years, and in her home
had been treated like one of the family.
Modestly I may say that I sought her
hand and would have been favorably
considered but for the presence of the
young naval lieutenant. Scott" Schley
was favorite then with all his class
mates. Miss Franklin met him to-
gether with all the girls of the sur
rounding country. After her meeting
with the dashing young naval lieuten-
ant, my opportunities to induce Miss
Franklin to become my wife waned,
and in a few short weeks l was taught
that my world in that direction was
not all brightness. Miss Franklin
married the lieutenant and I took a |
journey to the southern part of the
country. Cuba proved an unhealthy
place for me, and after a year I re-
turned to the states but gave Annap-
oils and it's vicinity wide berth.
Il have double cause to congratu-
late Admiral Schley. He won from ne |
one Of the best women on earth and has
demonstrated in his career that he was
worthy of her. I have watched him
closely from the time he received his
appointment. Every advancement
made by him was a pleasure to me be-
cause felt sure that it would carry
Miss Franklin one step further for
ward in life I kept a close watch on

Havana, August 19.-In view Of the
fact that the chief Of police persisted
in the declaration that Jiminez was in
Havana, the military authorities tele-
graphed Cienfuegos ilstructing the col
lector Of customs there to ascertain
whether Jiminez was on the steamer
Menendez and if so to arrest him.
Just as the steamer was leaving Glen
fuegos the collector located Jiminez
and arrested him. Jiminez will be I'M
der police charge until further advices
are received from the governor gener-
al. There is much excitement among
the people Of Cienfuegos over the af-
fair. The sentiment is generally ex-
pressed that the authorities had no
right to arrest Jiminez, an unarmed
citizen, going apparently to Santiago
de Cuba. The point is made that
even if he were going to Santo Domin-
go he would only be returning to his
native country.

Dewey could be prevailed ON To accept
the nomination OF the Democratic
party, the managers would be saved
the expenditure of a great deal of gray
matter in thinking up campaign issues
and utterances for their platform.
The American people have several
times chosen a military hero for presi-
dent, but Dewey, should he become a
candidate and be elected would be the
first naval hero to be thus honored.
Perhaps there is something i'm this fact
that might bewitch Dewey into accept
ing the nomination This president
making business is a strange one, but
if any man could ever look forward a
year and half with confidence to a
second presidential term it is President

DEWEY.

The San Francisco Examiner of Sep
TENDER 18th devotes large part of it's
first page to an article booming Ad-
miral Dewey for president 1t states
that no word of welcome had come
from the White House to the Hero of
Manila, and that none of the Cabinet
officers or heads of departments had
gone to greet Dewey, and that the Ad
ministration was to be represented at
New York only by Assistant Secre-
taries.
With this as basis The Examiner
goes on to say that this attitude of
the President is an affront and that
Dewey may yet consent to accept the
Democratic presidential nomination.
Continuing, The Examiner says:
"Coincidently, Representative Leoni-
das Livingston, of Georgia, the Demo-
crat who introduced the resolution and
the bill to honor Dewey-the resolution
extending the thanks of Congress, the
bill making Dewey the Navys Ad-
miral-is convinced that Dewey can be
prevailed upon to accept the Democrat
ic nomination for the presidency, and
that in such an event, Colonel Bryan
would withdraw from the field. In this
connection Admiral Dewey's letter of
thanks to Mr.. Livingston has peculiar
point.
The Administration is alarmed, and
Dewey will be watched with hawk-like
intensity henceforth by the Mckinley
managers. His interviews yesterday
were regarded here as clever pieces of
diplomacy, while his remark to The
EXaminer-Journ as to Otis censor
ship being so strict that it prevented
favorable mention of the navy getting
into the newspapers was a rapier stab
that drew blood"
AS for any affront to Admiral Dewey
or any failure on the part of the Ad-
ministration to show him the proper at
tention, that can be dismissed at once.
President Mckinley has too often and
too informally shown himself the
tactful polished gentleman, never want
ing in courtesy or courteous action, to
allow any such suggestion to have
weight.
But the suggestion of Dewey as a
presidential possibility is another mat
ter. The suggestion shows how anxic-rs
the Democrats are to find a candidate
with a name to conjure with. If
