THE OREGON'S GREAT TRIP.
Clark and His Men Were Ready for
Cervera-The Gallant Captain Suf-
fering From tho Severe Strain of
That Most Remarkable Voyage.

Captain Charles E. Clark, formerly
of the battieship Oregon, who ar
rived here last evening, saws Bos-
ton correspondent of the New York
Commercial advertiser, said, in an
interview, that he is still suffering
from the strain of that long, anxious
voyage around Cape Horn a year ago.
and that he cannot sleep much. He
added:
Il did not average two hours sleep
in each twenty-four hours during the
voyage. We strained every nerve
until we got to the Straits of Magel
Ian. Then | had to keep constant
lookout for the Spanish gunboat
Temerario. The channel through the
Magellan is narrow and tortuous, and
l was afraid that the Temerario might
make dash at us any moment from
behind some headland. Our rapid
fire guns were loaded and ready. At
Rio we found the Temerario. and /
learned that war had been declared.
l sent word TO the captain Of the
Temerario that if he came within a
mile of the Oregon would open fire
on him without furthur notice. From
Rio there was uncertainty at every
step. If we had met Cervera on our
way up my plans were to run away
and let the Spaniards chase me.
That would have compelled them to
90 in some sort of column formation,
and would only have to fight the
nearest vessel: If able to intlict sutfi-
cient damage in that way, I should
have put about and given them bat
tie. l was advised by the depart
ment to remain at Bahia, but | was
given carte blanche, so decided to
60 on. The responsibility was fear
full, and men stood or slept by their
guns day and night. Barbados was
reached March IS. There l learned
that Cervera's fleet was at Martinique,
just North, SO to fool him headed
Northwest, a fact | felt would be
communicated to Cervera. In the
darkness l changed my course to due
South and ran below Barbados,
thence East and North again, passing
far East of Martinique"
Captain Clark says that Cervera
knew that he was doomed when he
left Santiago harbor.
s'Had he remained there three
weeks longer our soldiers would have
been in sad plight, and there was a
chance Of tropical storm scattering
our ships. Santiago could not then
have been taken without considerable
| bloodshed''

This May Account For 1t.

Would it be strangely improbable
to suppose that some of the mystic
rious cases of smallpox that have
broken out among colored people
without known contact with the dis
ease, was traceable to the disease
germs in secondhand clothing now
sold through the South?
When an investigation in the city
of New York reveals the fact that
much of this secondhand clothing is
collected from some of the filthiest
and foulest tenements of the city, and
in some cases having been worn by
patients who died with contagious
diseases or stripped from the dead
bodies found in the morgue, it would
seem that the knowledge of these
facts would be sufficient warning to
the municipal officers of Southern
cities where such clothing is sold tc
induce them to adopt the most rigid
remedies for the protection of theil
people. Journal.

NORTH CAROLINA TEACHERS AS.
SEMBLY.

Superintendent Mebane has sent
out to teachers and others interested
in educatian the following circular
letter which explains itself:
To Teachers, School officers, and
Friends Of Education:
This is to call your special attention
to the sixteenth annual session of the
North Carolina Teachers Assembly to be-
held at MOrehead City, N. g., June 18th
to 18th, 1899.
The only meeting held III North Caro-
lima this year that brings the entire edu-
cational body of the State together is
this Assembly, and this letter is sent to
impress upon your mind the necessity
and value of attending. Every teacher,
school officer. and friend of education,
who can possibly do SO should be present.
Every phase of school work and school
administration will be represented in the
work of the Assembly, and full and free
discussions will be a distinctive feature
this wear. The practical good that is
possible from such gathering can not
be Overestimated.
AS long ago as 1859, DR.. Calvin II.
Wiley, one of our wisest educators, then
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, urged all teachers and school Off
Gals to join in one great yearly meeting.
The time seems ripe for u forward move
ment and increased interest in our an
nual gathering.
Railroad rates have been reduced to
one-half and even less, and board can be
secured for one dollar per day, or less,
and | urge the Importance of your at
tending this year. Do so for the sake OF
the great cause of education which is
entrusted to your care in North Caro-
lima.
From the Secretary wv. Il. Whitsett,
Whitsett, n. c. full programmes and
further information can be obtained at
| any time.
May this meeting mark the beginning
OF a brighter educational day for the
| State. Yours very truly,
G. II. MEBANE,
| State Supt. of Public instruction.

PRACTICAL WORK.
rlr. E. ST. John and the Seaboard Air
Line.

without question, Mr.. +. st. John,
Vice President and General Manager OF
the Seaboard AIR Line, has done more to
develop the territory through WHICH his
road passes than has been done by any
Railroad man in the country. There ID
not n week that passes by but what he
has something new, something that Is
practical for the people to do and some
thing that is helpful for the community.
We are in receipt just now OF an lllustrat-
ed circular. giving directions for starting
q canning factory on a small scale. Two
wears ago, Mr.. +. st. John started ex-
pcriment- in canning. He first had his
Industrial Department established and
put in practica. operation, canning
factory on q small scale to show that
canning could be successfully done on the
farm by the farmer's family. The out
come has been that more than three
hundred small Gamers have been started
on the line. He had a frait drying APP
paratus, put up and exhibited along the
line This apparatus can be made by
any farmer at cost of not exceeding
two dollars Mr. st. John has his In
duatrial Department to prepare Illus
trated circulars giving directions how to
make the fruit dryer and the circulars
are sent free to any one on the Seaboard
Air Line who apply for them. The
twenty odd experimental farms on the
roads are operated for the sole bene-
fit OF the farmers The special feature
is to experiment in fruit growing. But
last season, experiments were made IN
growing grass, broom corn, hops, sugar
beets and other crops that 1T IS hoped
can be made profitable i'll the South.
This broad liberal policy OF the big
Drained Manager, Mr.. st. John, is not
only OF advantage to the people on the
Seaboard Air Line but other roads are
taking up his plans and methods, and
the work started on the SeabOard Air
Line is broadening and growing until it
will extend from State to State, until it
reaches every Southern State.
Of course we all understand that the
prime object is TO better the condition OF
people along the SeabOard Air Line, so
they will have more money to spend
with the Railroad, but that is Legitimate
and Mr. St Johns policy will add
thousands OF dollars to the income OF
the Seaboard Air Line; but nevertheless
he deserves the thanks of the people,
even if his main object is to build up the
interest Of the Company he represents
We wish all other Southern Railroads
would do as the Seaboard Air Line is
doing, benefit the people that in turn
they can benefit the Railroad. Many
families are leaving the other lines OF
road and going to the SeabOard on &C.
count OF the lberalty extended by the
road to the people who do business with
it. 1t certainly pays individuals and
corporations to be liberal in their
dealing
