MINISTER A GOOD FIGHTER.
a DistRrber of Church
Services.

At the Baptist church at Wylam, q
small town seven miles from Birming-
ham, Ala, where u protracted meeting
is being held, party of young men oc-
cupying seats in the rear part of the
church have been very boisterous dur
ing worship several times lately, dis
turbing the services. On Monday night
the pastor, Rev. w. ID. Ernest, after rep
rlmanding them in vain, caused the
ringleader to be arrested and taken
from the church by policeman.
The next night the boys were out In
force again and showed their resent
ment of the incident OF the night pre-
vious by acting more rudely than ever.
The minister gave them severe lee
ture, calling the offenders by name.
Just as the services ended young man
named Davis stepped up to Mr.. Ernest
as he was descending from the pulpit
and demanded an apology, ut the same
time threateningly placing his hand on
his hip pocket as If TO draw n pistol.
For reply the minister knocked him
down with a good right-hander and
then gave him a severe drubbing.
The congregation was thrown into
Intense excitement, but sided with the
preacher, and hustled young Davis out
side TO cool off.

THE DEWEY MANSION.
Question Which Has Arisen Regard
Ing Proposed Gift to Admiral
Shall II he Given in Perpetuity to
Him, or shall IL belong 10
the ONCE of Ranking
AdmIralf

In order that II may be clearly under
stood whether it was Admiral Upshur's
intention when he suggested gift Of
a residence in Washington TO Admiral
Dewey that the property purchased
should become his personal property
and pass to his heirs or whether 1t was
his intention that IL should remain the
permanent homo of the ranking officer
of the navy, to be occupied by Admiral
Dewey as long as he remains at the head
of the navy and thereafter to pass to
his successors as time goes on, the de-
partment of history, University of the
United States, which has an Office in
this city, wrote to Admiral Upshur ask
ing for his idea on the matter.
Under date of May 30 the Admiral re-
piled as follows: "Your inference that
II Is my preference that home to be
purchased by the free will offerings of
Americans for the admiral of the navy
should be occupied by Admiral Dewey
as long as he remains at the head of the
navy and then pass to his successors Is
entiraly correct, and / agree with you
further that In that form 1t would be
more acceptable to Admiral Dewey. l
have not moved beyond the initiative In
this matter. Others have assumed,
most kindly, the work necessary In con-
nection with the raising of funds, and
to them the proposition herein stated
might be made, although there is pos
Bibllity of those subscribing to the
Dewey home being unwilling to give ex-
cspt to him In perpetuity."
The suggestion of Admiral Upshur
does not meet with favor at the hands
of the committee In charge of the col
lection of funds. The members of
the committee point out several objec-
tions TO It, which from their point of
view seem vital. This home, they say,
is q tribute TO the gallant and brave
services Of Admiral Dewey personally,
and could not descend to another ad-
miral, for the reason that the rank will
die with the man who won that title at
the battle of Manila.
The rank ceased to exist with the
death of Admiral Porter, and was only
revived on the occasion of great event.
1t Is probable that with the death OF
Dewey there will be no other admiral
until another war produces another
naval hero. To make this house the
home of the ranking officer means sim
ply that 1t shall fall to the officer who
becomes rear admiral at the top Of the
list through the ordinary promotions
incident to the service. The PROPOSE
ton is not likely to be accepted by the
committee.

eermany'a Merchant Marine Second
I'm che List-shtPa NunbeR
3,Ge3.

Germany's feet now Is second only to
that Of England. In 1878 Germany's
merchant marine numbered 4,062 ships,
with l,O6s,00O registered tons net; in
1905 she had s,O65 ships, with 1,554,o00
tons; in $685. 3,OO9 ships and l,55S,Oo0
tons. While the number of ships Is
smaller, the number of tons, compared
with 1878, has increased so per cent.
The falling off is In sailing ships. In
1875 there were 4,903, with capacity
Of s7s,3s5 tons, and e09 steamers, with
1sO, ,00s tons; In 1883 there were s,607
sailing ships, with $780, tons, and $50
steamers, with 413,943 tons; In 1905,
2,622 sailing vessels, with G60,s50 tons,
and 1,O49 steamers, with s03,o46 tons;
In 1893, e,522 sailing vessels, with $685.
S71 tons, and 1,171 steamships of o6o,-
500 tons.
In general a steamer is thought to be
able to carry three times rs much ns
sailing vessel of the same size. The
falling off in SAILING ships from 4,3os In
1875 to 2,522 In 1898 was more than made
up for In the increase of steamers from
200 In 1878 to 1,171 in 1893. The regular
crews numbered in 1903 42,42s men.
The average was six men to sailing
ship and "a to a steamer.
German writer's point with pride TO
the fact that, whereas formerly good
many, II not quite all, Of the big ships
were built abroad, they are now built
In German shipyards by German me
chanics with German materials, etc.
All that is now needed, they say, Is
powerful fighting marine. The en-
plre's interests are In every part OF the
world. These must be protected. Ger
many will probably give attention to
building q large and powerful feet.

FOR THE WORTHY POOR.
Associated Charities was Reorgan1zed
Friday Afternoon


The organization known as the AS
ISOLATED Charities of Kenosha held q
meeting Friday afternoon at the office
of Justice Slater and reorganized for
the present year. There is not at the
present time great deal of work for
the Association, as only two cases of
absolute want and suffering have been
ported and these will be relieved at
once.
The Association have received the
$254.8l recently received from the
Charity minstrels and it will be used in
relieving any suffering that may be
discovered in the city.
In accepting this addition to the
fund of the society the officials desire to
return thanks to the managers of the
performance for their untiring labors
for the success of the minstrels.
