HONOR DUE TO CANADA.
The First Vessel to Cross the Ocean
by Steam Power Sailed
from Quebec.

An interesting but little known bit of
history in connection with early steam
navigation on the ocean was brought
to public attention in the recent address
of the venerable Kivas Tully on his
election to the presidency of the re-
Gently organized Engineers club OF To-
ronto, says the Engineering News.
This was to the effect that to the
province of Quebec belongs the credit
Of having built the first steamship that
crossed the Atlantic from either side.
The steamship was called the Royal
William, commanded by Capt. McDou-
gall, and sailed from Quebec on August
5, 1889, arriving at 0ravesend on Sep
tember II, having steamed the whole
distance.
This seems at first sight to contradict
the well-known claims to priority made
for the Savannah as the first steamship
to cross the Atlantic. The Savannah
however, on her memorable voyage
from Savannah to Liverpool (May 26
1919, to June 90, 1870 used her engines
during IS days and progressed under
sail the remainder Of the time, the pad
dlewhecls being hoisted on board when
not in use.
The Royal William, therefore, ap
pears TO have been the first vessel tt
make the vayogc using steam for the
whole distance.

PUERTO PLATA. Santo Domingo.
Sept G.-Gcnernl Isidro .Iimcncz landed
here yesterday, having come from Cuba,
touching at Cape .Il0iticn on the way.
He was received at the watersidc by an
INNER So throng. His reception, arrang-
ed by General Ramon lmbert. was en-
thusiastc The news of .Iimenez's ar
rival has been sent into the interior, and
IT is believed that settled order and peace
will soon be restored.
General Jimcnez was accompanied by
80 armed revulutonists. who were taken
on board the Georges Croise at Cape
Haitien. The populacc hailed him as
the country's dclivcrer.
A delegation of 1O0 officials and prom

of the city. went on board the steamer to
greet him. returning after an absence of
nine years. The entire population was
at the wharf and escorted his carriage to
Headquarters. where reception was
held. thousands waiting for hours in the
intense heat to assure him of their sup
port.
At night there was popular demon

and citizens and speeches of welcome.
Puerto Plata and Santiago are Jhnene2

WOMEN'S CLUBS ODD NAMES.
A Number of Titles which Are
Rather Enigmatic and DIM
cult 10 Pronounce.

The woman's club movement has as.
sumed such an extent that 1t has attract
ed the attention Of the United States
department of labor, which has recent
ly issued an elaborate report on the at
tiS,de of women's clubs toward social
economies, says the Pittsburgh Chron'
icle-Telegraph. Accompanying the ar
ticle are some statistics which indicate
that there are few settlements of any
size In our glorious country without q
woman's club. 'Kle name, location and
purpose of each of 1888 women's clubs
are given in detail, and it appears that
this by no means exhausts the list. An
examination of the list shows that next
to the local title of woman's club Shake
speare's name is favorite one.
There are a number of titles which
are rather enigmatic. What, for in
stance, is the meaning of 1.-The Leshche,'
the name of club at Dalton, Ga?
Then there is the Mike" of Chicago,
the "TherisxriaI' of Marion, Ia; the
"Anarkrisians" of Sioux City, the Am
moncon gin" of Cumberland Mills, Me-.
the "Methebesic" of Rockland, Me-; the
"Heptorean" of Somerville, Mass; the
"Alsbcc' of Grand Rapids, the "Chiro-
pean' and the "Photerone," both OF
Brooklyn, and the "Ardirhcbriah" oi
Providence. Such names as "Tekcos
now" and "So-go-ye-wat-ha" are per
haps of Indian origin. There is frank
ness in the title of "Old Maids Socia
club" of Woonsocket, which inspires re
spect. 1t is, however, doubtful whether
anything descriptive is meant by th'
title of the "Nashaway" club of Nashua
y. II. There is an Anthony club, but M
! Cleopatra club.

NO. 2

Although it has I", asserted iy 10
less parsonage than Satan himself
that '';i'l that Il man hath will he Give
for his life. yrl in many cases a little
bit Of foolish pride prevents the TAX
ing of precautions which viii! presel>e
what Is so lr, riuus. For instance.
Is it with people at hotels? \ few DAYS
ago there was Il great hotel fire in
San Francisco. One of the employees
of the hotel had a rope in her room
and by the means of it saved her life
and that of half dozen other persons.
But, if a traveller arriving that fatal
night had demanded rope in his
room before he would occupy it, he
would have been laughed at and called
a crank. We venture the assertion
that at least a quarter of the people
in that dangerous and infammabIe
structure felt the want tf such a means
OF preservation every day, but none
had the courage to call for it. The
fear of being laughed at overpowered
the fear of death Pride was too much
for sense. 1t is not seldom especially
at seashore and Southern resort hotels
that the danger from fire is the chief
topic of conversation among the guests
and yet every one of them is afraid to
take steps that show any recognition
of the danger.
But this fear of caution to preserve
life extends to hundred things besides
a possible fire in a hotel. Many one
will prefer to walk the worst kind of
icy pavements than to take the safer
middle of the street The latter seems
nndigniiled, and s., though life and
limb are valuable, they would rather
be sacrificed than by taking an unusual
precaution. Many man will not wear
crecpers, as they imply reflection on
quarters discard rubber shoes, as they
make the wearrrs feet look big. 4
great many accidents occur to drivers
OF wagons carrying four people because
no brakers are usetl-these latter max
ing wagoncttc, surry and Sd on ap-
parcntly clumsy. Again caution gives
place to sty le. As II rule, mankind
would rather be uncomfortable
and unsafe than to take prccau-
tion that might appear cranky.
When the streets are almost bevond
walking of any kind it is pleasant to
see an ol.l-fashioned lady with pair
of stockings over her shoes to prevent
slipping on the ice But, strange to say,
there is Il holnely simplicity we love to
see in the Old Homestead, but do not
like to practice for fear we will he

WAITING FOR AN OPPORTU.
NIFTY.

Many Young men imagine that the
successful man has hecome such only
because he had an opportunity. and
that he is not i'm the least deserving Of
praise for his Success This is Il mis-
take in the majority Of cases. although h
frequently men are advanced who have
shown no particular fitness for the pc
sition in which they have been placed,
because either OF the influence they
have been able to exert in their behalf
or because there was no one else to
place in the rn~i'in ~.
When We. Nainl,c critically the Gu
recr of the men who have suddenly he
come distinguished we find tnat, rs a
rule, they had hv close study prepared
themselves for the career in which they
had won l,onors. During the war with
Spain few officers attained great dis
tinction, and it was not simply because
they had been studious when at school
and had continued their studies
through life.
Dewey in day won what the world
calls immortality. but he would not
have defeated the Spanish fleet had he
been indolent and simply waited for an
opportunity without preparing to en-
brace it when it came. Hobson is an.
other man who in ain st moment be-
came distinguished, and yet he made
the opportunity which he knew won d
bring success, because he had prepared
himself while at the Naval Academy
for just such opportunities as that
offered at Santiago. General Wheeler
is another officer who seized the oppor-
tunity which came to him. and in day
won the admiration of the world; but
General Wheeler would not have had
the opportunity to save the day at
Santiago had he not previously pre-
pared himself to command armies.
There is no question of the fact that
deserving men are often not advanced
because they have no opportunity to
exhibit their ability, but it is also GER
tain that the majority of men who
snccecd do SD because they have shown
industry in preparing for whatever
duties they may be called upon to per-
form,
There may he such Il thing as luck
in men having the opportunity to adj
vance themselves, but there is no luck
in their preparing themselves for the
opportunity. As rule, the intelli-
gent, pcrsevcrng, and Jealous man
succeeds. Such a man can not become
diShcartened. When he fails, instead
OF gricving over his disappointment
he goes to work to regain what he has
lost.
\ little reflection shows that while
men do frequently succeed because
they have the opportunity which some
10y chance, few who have been indolent
are prepared TO accept the opportunity
when it comes. The sensible young
man will not wait for an opportunity.
but Will try to make it, and be sure
that he has prepared for it when it
comes
Faith is male known by works.
