drew overaowing audiences. Colonel
Ingersoll was sincere in his convic.
tions and it was due to them that in
1877 he refused the post of Minister
to Germany.
Colonel Ingersoll has enriched Eng
lish literature by the eulogies which
he delivered at the graves of his
friends and by the patriotic addresses
which he made on national occasions.
The eulogy which he delivered at his
brothers funeral is considered his
finest effort, and his address spoken
in New York City on Memorial Day in
1888 has become classic. One of his
finest compositions is prose poem
entitled Life"
Colonel Ingersoll was man oflarge
sympathy. He was naturally phil
antrophist and had many plans for the
improvement of the conditions of the
poor. He earned great sums of money,
both as lecturer and as lawyer, but
he let them 60 like water. 1t was his
habit to keep money in an open
drawer, to which every member OF the
family was free to 60 at any time and
take what was wanted. His home life
was one Of remarkable happiness, and
he was never so happy as when sur
rounded by his devoted family and by
his friends who thronged his house
from all the walks of life. He was a
constant student of Shakespeare,
whose works occupied the place in his
home where in most homes in this
country the Biblerests. He was never
more eloqent or earnest or impressive
than when talking of the master play
wright. He never tired of delving in
Shakespeare's works and finding and
displaying beauties hidden from the
careless reader. Wagner was another
object OF his ceaseless admiration. He
loved music, and maintained that it
went most directly to the heart when
it avoided monotony.

! Sketch Of the Career
! Of Robert G, 1pgerSoll.

The death of Robert G.. Ingersoll at
his summer home at Dobbs Ferry, N.
Y, removed unique character from
the worlds stage. He did not leave
life as he had wished; he wanted to
die slowly so that he could note his
feelings and give to the world fare
we'll message before he crossed the
threshold of the dead.
Colonel Ingersoil was the son OF a
Congregational minister. His boy
hood was spent in Wisconsin and Hill
nois. He was educated in the public
schools, studied law, and opened an
Office in Shawneetown, ILL.,, with his
brother Eben, who represented the
Peoria district in Congress from 1864
to 1872. and who died in 1879. Rob-
ert G. Ingersoll was Colonel of the
Eleventh Illinois Cavalry in the Civil
War, and made an exceedingly good
record as o soldier. He was cap
tured by a force of Confederate cav
airy, but he was paroled and he re-
Curueu TO Ills COmuauu. ho was
Attorney-General of Illinois in 1866.
Colonel Ingersoll's first attempt at
oratory was a failure, but when he
again essayed to speak he was sue
cesful, and finally developed into one
of Americas greatest orators. His
speeches were marked by an extraor-
dinary facility of phrasing and an un-
usual power of graphic portrayal.
The speech which he delivered at the
National Republican Convention in
1876, nominating James G. Blaine
and giving him the title of Plumed
Knight, attained for him national
fame.
His chief notoriety, however, rests
upon his attacks upon the Christian
religion. He wrote number of books
and minor works, and several volumes
of lectures. He participated in several
theological discussions with men OF
national and international regulations,
the most notable one being with Mr..
Gladstone. He delivered lectures on the
subjects which made him we'll known
in all parts of the country and they

in 1871, as follows, attested by very
quaint illustration:
columbus from hence that is,
Cuba] proceeding on further West
ward, discovered a fruitful Coast,
verging the Mouth of river, whose
Water runs boyling into the Sea.
Somewhat farther he saw very strange
Fishes, especially of the Guiacan, not
unlike an Eel, but with an extraordin-
ary great Head, over which hangs
skin like a bag. This Fish is the
Natives Fisher, for having Line or
hanson Cord fastened about him, so
soon as q Turtel, or any other of his
Prey, comes above Water, they give
him Line; whereupon the Guiacan,
like an Arrow out of Bowe, shoots
toward the other fish, and then gather
ing the mouth of the Bag on his Head
like Purse-net, holds them so fast
that he lets not loose till hal'd up out
of the Water"
Now this quantity described 'guia-
col" is the large sucking-fsh OF remora
(Echineis naucrates), fairly common
in the warmer parts CT the American
Atlantic, and shown in the accompany
ing picture. This illustration is no.
table as a reproduction of the only
photograph of living remora in ex-
istence--photographs of any living
fishes are a rarity-which was taken
by DR.. Tarleton H. Bean from, a fine
specimen in the aquarium OF the
United States Fish Commission. 1t
is the species best known of the five
along our Eastern coast, because it is
the one that most commonly clings to
the hulls of ships.
These fishes, which constitute q
family related to our bluefshes, are
spread all over the world, however,
most numerously in the warmer lati-
tudes-one, inhabiting the Mediter-
ranean, having been known from an.
tiquity as the remora, the literal
meaning of which is "hold-back," in
alusion to many quaint fables and
fancies, as We shall see.
None is of large size, the biggest,
probably, being that shown in the pho.
tograph, which may reach length Of
five feet, while the well-known Medi.
terranean species is only eight inches
long.
The extraordinary feature of these
fishes that gives them their name and
singular parasitic habits is not shown
in the photograph, though indicated
by the peculiar fatness of the top OF
the head, which is covered with an
oval Sucker" reaching back to the
two little erect fms, which are really
pectorals, properly pendent from the

The crowd which assembled was q
notable one. Two hours before the
first event was called the spectators
began to arrive, and by four o'clock
every seat on the field was taken and
spectators were lined up four deep
around the entire track. In all eight
thousand persons were present.
To an American the appearance of
the field was a revelation. Brilliantly
decorated stands, with colored awnings
and innumerabfe flags gave the event
quite carnival-like appearance, such
as is seldom seen at an American COL
lege meeting. This was, however,
quite in accordance with the ordinary
custom in England.
A pleasant feature OF the day was
the presence OF the London Victoria
Military Band, which throughout the
afternoon enlivened the occasion with
popular airs.
The Harvard and Yale supporters
filed two sections in the stand oppo-
site the finishes, bnt with the e1cep-
tiou of single cheer on the occasion

Generals Pellieux aud de Negrier and
Captain villaneuye in Disgrace.
PARIS (By Cable).-At a meeting OF the
Cabinet the Minister OF War, General Mar:
quis de Galllffst, announced that General
d'Alstein had been appointed to the mill.
tary command OF Paris, vice General Pei
lIenx, who, the Minister said, had bsen. ap-
pointed to the command OF the Forty
fourth Brigade, located at Qulmper, De.
partment OF Finistere. The Minister OF War
also announced that Captain Vlllaneuve,
who recently wrote letter sympathizlng
with the anti-Dreyfus Professor Syveton,
had been placed under rigorous arrest for
sixty days.
General de Negrier has been degraded.
He has been relieved OF his functions as
member OF the Supreme Council OF War
Among his duties was that OF Inspector OF
four army corps. It appears that In the
course OF recent tour OF inspection he
addressed to the commanders OF the corps
a verbal communication violently cen.
suring the Government for its failure to
defend the army, and declaring that II the
Government refused to interfere they
themselves must act In self-defense.
General DE- Negrier invited the COM
manders to transmit the communication to
oil Generals and officers.
The Minister OF War, hearing OF this, In.
stituted an inquiry and then summoned
General de Ne9rier to Paris and taxed him
with the offenss, which he was unuble to
deny.

THE ARMOR OFTHE MAINE
Proposal to Scale It Down Two Hun.
dred Tons Rejected.
Plan Calculated to Make Three OF OuI
Fighters the Best Protected Battle
ships Now Building Adopted.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Especially Naval
Board on Construction unanimously re-
jected the proposal to scale down the ar.
NOR Of the battleship Maine by 200 tons,
according to the plans OF the bidders. The
officers present at the meeting were Rear
sAdmiral O'Neil, chairman of the Board
and Chief OF Ordnance; Rear-Admiral
Hichborn, Chief Constructor; Rear-Ad.
miral Melville, Engineer-in- Chief. and
Rear-Admiral Bradford, Chief Of Equip
ment.
Afterward the Board adopted a modified
plan presented by Chief Constructor Hich.
born, redistributing the arnlor weights In
manner that Is calculated to make the
Maine, the Missouri and the Ohio the hest
protected battleships now building for any
country. This plan presents with an
Insignificant 715 tons the aggregate weight
OF armor originally adopted for this class
Of ships, which was $500 tons, and
while reducing Its thickness about one
inch In the belt amldshirs, additional pro.
lection Is extended toward the extremities
Oft exposed structure. The plan met
the cordial approval OF the Chief oil
Ordnance, who was satisfied that clever
inches OF the latest process steel plate was
thick enough as q maximum for any
battleship, and who welcomed the In.
creased armor forward and aft as typical
OF the best practice abroad at this time.
An advantage which Is anticipated from
the Chief Constructors extension Of the
armor over greater surface longitudin'
ally will be the improvement OF the vessel
RS gun platform In a rough seaway. The
proceedings OF the Board were marked by
singular harmony and regard for the best
interests OF the Government, and II was
explained after its unusually brief ses-
sion that no fault whateTer- could be
found with the contractors for the Maine,
who expressed In advance their readiness
to make any changes In the ship that
would insure the best vessel the Govern.
ment ever built. The contractors for the
Missouri and the Ohio, 1t was believed,
would promptly agree to Rear Admiral
Hichborn's modification OF armor distribu.
ton, and their work could go on without
interruption. Fortunately, no contracts
had been made for the armor OF these
vessels, Congress having failed to give
sufficient authority.

almost upon the back of the neck. The
other fins are much modified, but none
so completely as the forward one of
the two dorsal or back fns-which is
no longer, indeed, a fin at all, but has
been modified into the adhesive organ
that surmounts the head.
These fishes are excellent swim
mers, have wide though somewhat
misshapen mouth, we'll furnished
with teeth, and are quite as we'll able
as other fishes, apparently, to pick up
their living by seizing the small
fishes, crustaceans and other living
creatures or bits of carrion upon
which they feed. The possession Of
the sucker, however las led them to
abandon independent ezertion az

the great advantage OF forcing larger
sea-animals to relieve them of large
part of the labor that would otherwise
fall to their share.

con Peter, charged with killing Aaron
Morris, as an outcome OF the mountain
feud, ended in the acquittsl OF both de-
PENDANTS before County Judge Wright.
County Attorney A. C. Turner represented
the prosecution and Samuel Kash, prom
inent Republican politician, defended the
Philpots. Deputy Sheriff Wash Thacker
testified that he was watching Robert
Philpot sign his bail bond at Little
Goose Greek, aud that others OF the
Philpot party we're waiting for him..
when Morris and his men dashed up and
began shooting at his prisoner and at Ed.
ward Fisher. His testimony Indicated
that the Philpots acted only in self-defence.
Robert Ponder and others testified that
Aaron Morris fred the first shot. Aaron
Morris mother. who was Rachael Griffin.
and Hugh Griffin. testified that her sons
left home on the morning OF the fight
armed with revolvers.
On motion CT Kash, Judge Wright dis.
missed the case. and court was at once ad,
iourned. The Philpots, who had packed
their rifles in the clerks office, procured
their weapons and started home on horse
back. They said they were not going to
follow up the G"ifflns, but would so on
about their business OF getting out logs fol
shipment down the river. Mortal enemies
OF the Philpots, on account OF the recent
fight, are the Grifins, the Gibbs, the Bar.
netts, the Browns und the Chqdwells. but
they fear the Philpots too much to be likely
to open hostilities.

an inventive genius, many professional

complete failure for want of persistent ei-
fort. There has been enough native talent,
there has been sufficient education, there

ton resting upon him Is more just than
the debt which he owes to God.
Whether he 1.-THE his income or halvs
it, he is bound to have an under
