HARBoR NEWS.
Items Of Interest Picked Up Along th'

An order has been issued by the Score.
tary Of tho Treasury which directs that
hereafter when vessel Is illegally an

of the anchored vessel shall he held to &C.
count. There has always teen, 1t Is said,
a question as to who could properly be
considered as in charge of the anchorfng
of towed vessel. 1t is the rule among
seafaring men that vessel having tow
in hand is held responsible for that tow.
The point MADE by shipmasters has, In
nearly every instance. been that the tugs
anchored their vessels, and that tho tugs
alone should be held TO account 1t has
been found quite diffioultisto get con-
yiction in many Of tho disputed cases.
The method Of procedure has been for the
collector of customs to levy the full
amount of the fine on the receipt Of the
report. A number of owners Of vessels
have recently contested their cases, with
the result of condemnatory trials being
held before the United States District
Court.

array commanded by the French Gen.
Wall across the Rio Grande. During
his long life on the frontier much OF
his time has been passed in camp and
fighting Indians with the old Ranger
companies. He was one of Gen. Hous-
tons warmest personal friends, and
constant political supporters. When
the war broke out Uncle Billy's ideas
on the subject of secession were in
accord with those of his distinguished
friend of the old Lone Star republic.
They were opposed to dissolution OF
the union, as were thousands of other
brave Texans whose bones lie fertiliz-
ing the fields of Virginia. Gen. Hous-
ton did not follow his favorite son into
the Confederate service, where the
loftiest position certainly awaited him,
but he advised Uncle Billy when he
went to see his boys, who We're with
Lee in Virginia. to take the sword OF
the revolution with him, and they say
that on many holly contested fields he
welded it with vigor and valor. When
the war ended he simply said: Il told
you so,' and returned to his planta-
tion on the Brazos, where he has since
lived, highly honored and respected
citizen. BRAZOS.

She Asked Him to Go Away"

She was a dear old lady, and she
was spending the summer in a quaint
old seaport town of New England, says
the New York Times. One morning
every one had gone out, leaving her
alone in the house. 1t was not long
after that she heard a noise in an ad-
joining room, and, going to investigate,
she saw a man ransacking a bureau
drawer. What most women would have
done, if they had not been frightened
scream at the awful realization that
there was burglar in the house, would
have been to hurry away ana hide I'M
til the dreadful man was gone. But
that was not what this woman did.
She stepped Immediately up to Inn and
said: Il am all alone in this house
and want you to go right away" The
strangest part of the story seems to
be that the man did go. He had al
ready taken some things, and those
he kept, but he did not wait to look
for others. 1t was not conscience that
drove him away, as he kept what he
had, and it could hardly have been
fear. 1t is a standing conundrum in
that family why that burglar went
away, and no good reason seems to
be found unless it was politeness, and
he did not like to refuse a lady's re-
quest

EMERSON'S WICKEDNESS.
Julia Ward Howe Warned Him About
the Devil.

Julia Ward Howe Warned Him About
the Devil.
In her benighted New York girl
hood Julia Ward Howe was taught to
regard Ralph Waldo Emerson as a
wicked man and she would have de-
clined his acquaintance if he had not
been introduced to her in way which
made that impossible, says the Boston
Transcript But having once been in
troduced, in the course of a trip be-
tween Boston and New York some fif-
ty-nine years ago, and then having had
her hard judgment Of this wicked man
softened little by seeing him carry
ing a poor child on his shoulders, she
consented to make him the object of a
little missionary work. So she said to
him earnestly: You seem to forget,
Mr.. Emerson, that the devil is going
around all the time, seeking whom he
may devour!" "Oh, no, Miss Ward"
he said, Il don't think l forget it, but
don't you think the angel ought to be
stronger than the demon?" This ques-
ton seems to have been in the nature
of "sticker" to the young lady from
New York and she discontinued her
missionary work for that trip.

Two farmers came to a grocery to
get some oil. One Of them had an
eight gallon and the other a five gal
lon can. Each wanted just four gall
Ions of oil, but the grocer's measures
had all been stolen except one of three
gallons, and he did not know how to
measure it out for them. AS four and
four make eight, it was easy enough
70 first fill the eight gallon can, but
how to get just four gallons of that
into the five gallon can was hard
problem, but at last, after the three
men had spent the long afternoon in
trying, they did it, using only the three
treasures of eight. five and three gal
Ions each. How it was done will be
printed in next Sundays Enquirer. In
the meantime see if you cannot solve
it. You do not have to use gallon cans.
Quart measures or pints will do just
as well, of course.

WESTERN MEN
Make the Best Sailors in the Best Navy

The brilliant record men in the navy
In the recent war has set the authori-
ties to thinking, with the result that
brisk effort is to be made to turn
some hundreds of the western farmers
into sailors for Uncle SAM The Hart
ford, the famous old man-of-war now
serving as a recruiting ship, is now
at Mare, Cal, and as soon as possible
will be fitted up for long cruise. Re-
sruiting officers are to be sent out all
through the western states, setting
forth in terms as alluring as may be
the unparalleled felicity Of three
years on the briny deep with Dewey
as your lord, with the chances that
more of the sturdy young sons Of the
plains will come forward than can at
present be accommodated. Captain
Henry Hawley. who has been assigned
to the Hartford, speaks enthusiastical-
ly of the abilities of the boys he is
to get. I'VE intend to make the cruise

THE BURLINGTON'S MONSTER
ENGINE.
1t Weighs 1e7 Tons and Is the Largest
Ever Built for Passenger Service.

1T Weighs 125 Tons and Is the Largest
Ever Built for Passenger Service.
Railroads, East and West, are not
competitive in their equipments in any
sense; but the monster locomotive Of
the Boston & Albany Railroad, which
recently took the palm from old 1893"
of the Empire State Express, must re-
linquish its place to a western rival.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad has recently put into service
the two largest passenger engines ever
constructed. They will be used on
the Denver Express and the fast mail
trains. These new giants, numbered
1891 and 1892, weigh just one ton more
than the Massachusetts wonder. One
hundred and twenty-seven tons each,
1000 pounds more than their eastern
rival.
Eastern railroads were in a nine
days wonderment over the Boston &c
Albany's experiment When locomotive
221 Numbered out of Boston a few
weeks ago at a 70-mile sweep for
Springfield, the worlds record in loco
motives was exceeded. Without any
spirit of competition and wholly with
in the scope of its needs, the Burling-
ton system has had to Guido the New
England line.
Compared with the Boston & Al
bany's No. 221, the Burlington's No.
1891 shows more marked characters
tics than are to be guessed from the
total weight-difference of one ton. The
Albany's engine weighs 1875 tons, and
the Burlingtons 127 tons; the drivers
of the one are six feet, two inches, and
of the other feet and Il of an inch;
No. POI hauls train weighing $40 tons
and No. 1891 pulls one weighing 81
tons; the compound cylinders of the
one are % by "a inches and of the
other % by 26 inches; No. 221 carries
eight tons of coal and $500 gallons OF
water; No. 1891 takes twelve tons Of
coal and 5000 gallons of water; both
engines have the same steam pressure
of 220 pounds to the square inch.
This new mastodon of the Burling-
tons is the Atlantic type, Vauclain
compound engine, with two cylinders
high and low pressure-on each side.
It's boiler is fitted with 294 tubes, two
inches in diameter, and sixteen feet
long. It's giant drivers, two on a side
are about midway between the back
of the cab and the front of the pilot.
Just behind them is trail-truck, with
two wheels five feet in diameter. Back
of these are the regulation trucks sup
porting the tender. Each of the four
drive-wheels weighs 5000 pounds, and
makes about 240 revolutions to the
mile.
On its first trip with the Denver
flyer, No. 1891 pulled a solid vestibule
train of two mail cars, one composite
library and smoking car, two sleeping
cars, a dining car and two reclining
chair cars-a load sixty-one tons in
excess of that drawn by the eastern
engine. On this occasion No. 1891 be-
haved admirably. When her journals
are a little smoother and when she has
found herself under the hand of her
new master, the Burlingtons record OF
ninety miles an hour with old 500 and
the fast mail may be made to read
100 miles?
