The American bark Obed Baxter,
which is unloading at Irmgard's wharf,
is an iron rugged vessel, a novelty in
these waters, and she has attracted
much attention among shipping man
and mariners in port. In place of the
wire or rope that nearly all vessels have
the Obed Baxter has from bow to stern
almost altogether solid iron, which is
said to be the best rigging in the world.
In order to avoid too much rightly
the iron is not in long continuous bars
but has joints or links at intervals of
about eight feet This arrangement
makes the rigging give way just the
necessary amount under pressure of
the wind and at the same time there
is no danger of too much yielding or OF
breaking.
The Obed Bakers rigging is also bet
ter than the old style in that it is much
easier for the crew to work with. The
sailor who has had to go aloft amid
rigging of rope knows that it is very Of
ten a difficult task in rough weather
and that a good deal of time is lost.
Wire rigging is only slightly better, bur
to climb upwards on the Obed Baxter
is almost like scaling a firm iron lad
der and the sailor is always able to run
up without loss of time.
The tars who labor on the Obed BaX-
ter consider themselves lucky in get
ting their berthS. She is trim little
bark a good saler and one of a few
sailing vessels that have so far adopted
the latest thing in rigging. Many of
the men among her crew, old sailors
though they We're, had never seen an
iron rugged vessel till they boarded her
She is said to be the first one to sail into
this port.

THE FEARLESS SIGNERS.

None OF the men who became
world famous for all time by their
part in the Revolutionary war and in
the delicate and intricate negotiations
that followed had more to lose or
risked their all more resolutely and
intre9idly than did the signers of the
declaration of independence. They
were the first American heroes. The
enthusiasm of a popular movement,
we'll defined and started toward sue
cess, was lacking for their inspiration.
They were the creators Of the tremend-
Gus enterprise in which the destinies
of race were embarked. Failure
meant the loss of property, OF social
caste, of existence itself. Success of
the most signal kind eyen-the kind
that came-meant incalculable sacri-
fees for most OF them. It was life or
death in the cast of the die, and they
cast 1t fearlessly.-NewY York Herald.

If the Don had had the power to dip

enthusiastically during the past cen

l. the humiliation of being forced to cele-
brate it in 1899. Spain doesn't know
it but Uncle Sam has been treasuring
up this insult all these years. Like
the spouse of that roistering blade,
Tam O'Shanter, he has been nursing
his wrath to keep it warm. For de-
cades he has been waiting for chance
to get even. The day is now at hand
and Brother Jonathan has prepared a
special program of festivities and in
vited the world to look on. The Span
lard should not kick FOR he will be
present at the celebration in Cuba,
Porto Rico, the Philippines, Guam and
elsewhere. He might have been
placed in the situation of Koko in the
Mikado who would miss the splendid
celebration of his death. As 1t is, he
will be in the full tide of his physical
vigor, albeit little run down from
iryeguarity of meals.

No tempered winds for her too mild.

Of independence has been withdrawn

the archives Of the government. The
rapid fading Of the text Of the Declara-
ton and the deterioration OF the parch-

posure to the light and on account Of
age rendered it impracticable for the
department to allow it to be exhibited
