AN ENGLISH INDUSTRY.
Recovery of Missiles That Are Fired In
Naval Artillery Practice.

Recovery of Missiles That Are Fired ip
Naval Artillery Practice.
Mr.. Seppings Wright has come across
many curious trades and peculiar
methods of earning living in his wan
derings through all corners of the
globe, but the business of Shooting he
discovered at home, for it is daily pur-
sued under the eyes of thousands OF
holiday folks and landsmen generally,
who neither know nor care what the
longshoremen are about in their fish
ing boats a few miles from land. But
these busy workers are engaged upon
the business of Shooting" and the ma
ture of that peculiar occupation we
will now describe. All royal navy men
training for rank of seaman-gunner
have to undertake more or less
lengthy term of regular practice in fir
ing, and for these men during their pc
riod of training some two or three OF
the old pattern gunboats are set aside.
These vessels are connected with every
dockyard, and, while obsolete for bat.
tie purposes, make excellent training
ships. They are, of course, fitted with
approved modern weapons, and daily,
during the season they carry squads Of
embryo gunners to the seward RACES
that lie outside the Spithead forts. The
bearings of these practice grounds de-
pend on the particular conjunction OF
certain objects ashore, and the targets
are generally placed in shoals where
fair range can be commanded free or
so much solid metal has been blazed
away into the sea, and it is this metal
that the shelters set forth to recover
when the gunboats have done their
task and return to the dockyard. The
ranges and the area in which the canon
balls must probably lie submerged are,
of course. well known to the search
ers. Armed with experience and long,
iron-shot pole, they sail over the
ranges and probe the shallow bottom
carefully. Familiarity with their task
renders them skilful, and an expert
knows in an instant when his pole
touches the hidden projectile beneath.
The shell found, a pair of huge tongs
is lowered into the sea, and it is
gripped and carefully lifted aboard.
The price of the metal shells is slight,
and rarely exceeds one penny one-half
a pound, but the brass studs on the
shot possess considerable more value,
and these are usually cut out intact.
Both studs and the main iron Of the
recovered shells are sold to the royal
navy, and the prices offered appear suf-
ficient to set many men at steady work
on the task of recovering them.-Lon-
don Balck and White.

IMPORTANT LAW POINT.

Has just Been Established for Califor-
mia Fig Syrup Co.
An important decision has just been
rendered in San Francisco in the
United States Circuit Court, in the case
Of the California Fig Syrup Company
VS., Clinton Z. Worden & Co., ct al"
The principal defendant is large non
secret manufacturing concern. A per-
manent injunction has been granted
enjoining the defendants from using
the name Syrup of Figs, or Fig
Syrup-and ordering them to pay the
costs and account for damages. The
decision is Of the greatest value, not
only to manufacturers of proprietary
articles, but to the public generally, as
it affirms that the valuable reputation
acquired by an article of merit, will be
protected by the Courts, and that the
party who builds the reputation by ex-
tensive and legitimate advertising, is
entitled to the full fruits of his enter
prise. This confirms the title OF the
California Fig Syrup Co. to this genu-
inc and most valuable remedy, Syrup
of Figs"

pages OF this book through tears, and
will wonder what manner of people
those were who not only permitted
this woman to labor for humanity for
fifty years, almost nnaided, but also
compelled her to beg or earn the money
with which to carry on her work. From
being the most ridiculed and merciless-
ly prosecuted woman, Miss Anthony
has become the most honored and re-
spected woman in the nation. No ono
can read this book, no matter what
may be their opinion in regard to the
reforms advocated by her, without be-
ing deeply impressed with the noble
courage and sublime faith it has re-
quired to stand by principle amid
the discouragements and ridicule she
has been obliged to overcome.

work, woman was a chattel in the eye
of the law; shut out from all advan-
tages Of higher education and oppor-
tunities in the industrial world; an ut
ter dependent on man; occupying a
subordinate position in the church; re-
strained to the narrowest limits along
social lines; an absolute nonentity in
politics. Today, American women are
envied by those of all other nations,
and stand comparatively free individu-
ais, with the exception of political dis
abilities.
During the fifty years which have
wrought this revolution, Miss Anthony
is the one woman in all the world who
has given every day of her time, every
dollar of her money, every power Of
her being, to secure this result. She
was impelled to this work by no per-
sonal grievance, but solely through a
deep sense of the injustice which. on
every side, she saw perpetrated against
her sex, and which she determined to
combat. Never for one short hour has
the cause of woman been forgotten or
put aside for any other object. Never
a single tie has been formed either of
affection or business, which would in
terfere with this supreme purpose
Never a speech has been given, trip
taken, a visit made, letter written,
in all this half century that has not
been done directly in the interest Of
this one object. There has been no
thought of personal comfort, advance
ment or glory; the self-abnegation, the
self-sacrifice, have been absolute-they
have been unparalleled.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY.
THE CLOSING CENTURY'S MOST
REMARKABLE WOMAN.
The Story of Her Life Has Recently
Been Told In Book Form Elnora M.
Babcocl1's Tribute to the Leader of
Woman's Rights Movement.

One Of the most valuable and inter-
esting historical works which has
made its appearance of late tells of the
life and works of Susan B. Anthony
This work is far more than the recital
of one womans experience, even
though that woman be the most inter-
esting personality Of the century. 1t
Is history of the great evolution OF
the status of woman, in which Miss An
thony has been the central figure. 1t
pictures the struggle Of women to OBJ
tain the right to speak in public, FIRST
in behalf of the slave, then in the In
terest of temperance and next for her
own freedom, for laws to secure her
self the control of her property, her
wages, her person and her children.
Then follows the long-continued battle
for equal educational advantages and
equal industrial opportunities; and
last and longest of all, for the citizens
right to the franchise.

1t was not until the daring and in
genious officer arrived at Fashoda and
strung up his republics flag that Eng
land became alarmed. Fashoda is dan
gerously near to Khartoum, and all
that part of Africa is politically pre-
empted by Great Britain. Then, too,
the English claimed a moral right to
the Soudan, because of Gordon's death
and the massacre of his army by the
fanatIcal mahdists. The story of
Marchand's withdrawal from -Fashoda,
the diplomatic complications and the
backdown of the Paris government is
recent and familiar history.

Future generations will read the
The National tribune., 1899-11-09
a wILFUL FALSEHOOD.

During the campaign in Ohio just ended
the Democrats, for their own purposes,
and entirely without our knowledge and
consent, took up the Indictment Against
Mr.. Evans" which THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE had published prior to the meeting of
the National Encampment, and prefacing
it with some remarks of their own, gave it
very wide circulation. A number of
Republican papers replied to this in an
article, first appearing in the Ohio State
Journal in which it was said:
"There is not an old soldier in Ohio who
does not know that The National Tribune
is published by firm Of pension attorneys,
and that it is the official organ of that firm
and not of the old soldiers"
This is absolutely and unqualiffedly
false, and known TO be so by the men who
wrote the article and caused its publication.
They know very well, as does every
other man who is at all familiar with THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE, that it has not the
slightest connection Of any kind with any
pension attorney or firm Of attorneys. No
man engaged IN the prosecution OF claims
has cents worth of interest in THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE except as subscriber.
Not one of the proprietors of the paper
receives a pension, is an applicant for a
pension. nor Will probably ever he.
The veterans of Ohio are all pretty well
acquainted with the men who edit and pub
lish THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE. They
have been intimately acquainted with
them for many long years, and known
where they have stood unwaveringly
through all political perturbations on all
questions connected with the interests of
veterans.
With the Ohio veterans such an aggregi-
GUS falsehood as this is likely to prove
damaging boomerang to its utterers.
