Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1899-12-02

The Baltimore and Ohio South
Western Rail Road placed In service
several months ago five large ten
wheel compound passenger engines for
use on fast trains between Cincinnati
and st. Louis. The performance OF
these engines has been eminently sat
isfactory and up to the highest expec-
tation. The same line has also in SER
vice SO consolidation compound freight
engines which provide ample power
for the entire line in addition to what
was already in use. The compound
engines we're an experiment but hard
service has proved that they are en-
tirely successful and show saving o
Is per cent in fuel as compared with
simple engines Of the same type Elk
haustive tests were made with both
the simple and compound locomotives
before the order for the entire lot was
placed with the result vastly in favor
of the compound locomotives.

vent of the Commercial High School"
He spoke of the spontaneous and uni
versal demand that is being made that
the high schools be made to impart
something of direct value to the SO who
go into business pursuits as we'll as the
one who goes into the profession OF
law, medicine, teaching or the church.
The question was treated also in
other papers, after which it was thor
oughly discussed by the educators pres
ent.
In the final session of the depart
ment of secondary education, a per.
picking problem which must have con-
fronted the mind of many a teacher
was thoughtfully considered and lucid
ly set forth by President S. F. Covel,
University of Wooster, Ohio. He can
vassed the subject. I'm Fundamental
Ethics, What Ought We Teach as the
American Doctrine of Religion and the
State? and the wide scope afforded by
the subject led up to an earnest dis
cussion led by President J. H. Baker,
University of Colorado.
The Ethical Influence of the Study
of Economics was the subject dealt
with by 3. C. Mathews, Newark, N. j.,
and with the reading of that paper the

York's Fortunate Reply.

The old Duke of York. whose effigy in
Roman robes looks down from the top
of the column that bears his name
upon the Mall in st. James Park, was
once Commander-in-Ch Chief, and being of
nature hospitable, frequently enter
tanned the officers under his command.
The Duke would empty his two or three
bottles with the greatest ease on fes.
tive occasions, and the military of the
period were no laggards in this respect
either. s-'s1"
On one occasion the empty bottles had
accumulated inconveniently. and the
Duke called to a servant: "TaKe away
these marines!" Now distinguished
officer of marines was present. and it
must be owned that to be likened, as
to ones corps, to an empty bottle Is
by no means pleasant. May I ask you
royal highness for an explanation of
that phrase?" said the undaunted rep
resentative of the sailors and soldiers,
too" Now, the Duke, it was well
known, was the last man in the world
to- take refuge behind his dignity as
royal highness, or even ! his exalted
rank in the service. "I wear a blue
coat, and you know where to find me-"
he had written to Colonel Lennox,
when there was quarrel between them
and he had gone OUT with the Colonel
as if he had been only plain Major
Dobbin. But, on this occasion a readi-
ness Of wit which was not usual With
him, saved the situation. ''They have
done their duty" he said, land ara
ready to do it again. That's why I call
'em arines!''-Household Words.

man and theshore. and when about 300
yards from the Adler gave the order:
Clear for action!"
At once the decks We're cleared, and
the guns were trained. The German
followed suit, and the two ships
steamed along the coast ready for this
fray.
A shot from either vessel meant war
between the two countries. When op-
posite the native forts, the Adler came
to anchor, and the Adams anchored be-
tween the German and the shore. So
close were the vessels that no guns
passing over or through the Adams.
Then Commander Leary sent this note
to the German commander:
Il have the honor to inform you that,
having received information that Amer
lean property in the Latoga vicinity of
Laulii, Lotoanuu, and Solo-Solo is lfa-
BILE to be invaded this day. l am here
for the purpose of protecting the same. "
For hours the men stood at then
guns But no shot came from the Ger
mans. He was ready to war upon the
Samoans, but war with the United
States was another matter.
At length the German started on a
cruise along the coast. but he could not
shake off the persistent Yankee. Fin,
ally he renounced his designs and re-
turned to his anchorage in Apia bay.
To her anchorage came the Adams, and
Commander Leary had won the game.

Commander Leary's Firmness.

But an incident which best illus.
trates Commander Leary's grit and de-
termination, and which deserves to live
in song and story, occurred in the
waters near Apia on November 10,
1883. Strained relations came to
crisis then, and war between the
United States and Germany seemed in
evitable.
On the day previous message came
from Mataafa to inform Commodore
Leary that the Germans had threat
ened to attack Mataafa in his strong
hold on the morrow Both Mataafa
and Tamasese had intrenched them"
selves in fortified places, about seven
miles from Apia, upon land under
American protection. Mataafa asked
for advice. and Commodore Leary told
his ground. that he would not allow
the. German to make an attack upon
property under his protection.
According to the German program
the Adler was to lombard at dawn.
Captain Leary quietly prepared to foil
the plan, at the same time keeping his
counsel. BY using some hard coal he
had aboard he was able to get UP
steam without the tell-tale smoke that
would have warned the Germans of hia
actions. Then he muff1ed his anchor
chains with native mats. and at four
in the morning all hands were quietly
called to quarters. At daybreak the
anchors of the Adler were hauled up,
and with full steam on. the vessel made
for the open sea. Noiselessly came up
the Yankees anchors, and to the
amazement of the Adler, the Adams
was close upon her heels. The Ger
man had to turn to get out of the
harbor, and by the time she reached
the entrance the two ships were close
together Again the German turned,
and then headed toward the fort that
was to be bombarded Commander

the college of our fathers in English
fashion tried to do, and with such ill
success that the university of to-day
bears among the ignorant the reproach
of godlessness.
What the university can do is along
manly lines. 1t can cure the boy of
petty vices and childish trickery by
making him a man, by giving him
higher ideals, more serious views of
life 1t may win by inspiration, not
by fear 1t must strengthen the stu
dent in his search for truth 1t must
encourage manliness in him through
putting away of childish things. Let
the thoughts of the student be free as

will hold fast to that which is good.
Give him a message to speak to others,
and when he leaves the university you
need fear for him not the world, nor
the flesh, nor the devil.
The universities of America have
grown enormously in wealth and power
within the last twenty-five years. The
next twenty-five years Will tell the
same story. They have the confidence
of the people, because they deserve
their confidence, and the good citizen
of the republic must give them trust

Dogberry Had to Be.

The opinion is abroad that Shakes
peare produced his Dogberry and
Vergese out of the mere exuberance of
his love of fun. says Horace Howard
Furness in the Atlantic" and that in
this "starrypointed" comedy, they are
the star of comicality, merely to give
the audience a scene to laugh at. This
inference is utterly wrong. They do,
indeed, supply endless mirth, but
Shakespeare had to have them just as
they are. He was forced to have
characters like these, and none other.
The play hinges on them. Had they
been sufficiently quick -witted to have
recognized the villainy of the plot be-
trayed by Borachio to Conrade, the
play would have ended at once. There
fore, they had to be stupid, most in
geniously stupid, and show matter and
imDertinency" SO mixed that we can
understand how they came to be in
vested with even such small authority
as their Office implies.
AT no previous point in the play could
Dogberry and Verges have been intro
duced; where they first appear is the
exact point at which they are needed.
Through the villainy of Don John and
the weakness of Claudio the sunshine
of this sparkling comedy is threatened
with eclipse, and the atmosphere be-
comes charged with tragedy. Just at
this point appear these infinitely stupid
watchmen. all whose talk, preliminary
to the arrest of Borachio and Conrade,
is by no means merely to make us
laugh, but to give us assurance that
the play is still comedy, hnd that,
however ludicrous may be the entan-
clement in which these blundering fools
will involve the story, the solution, the
denouement, will be brought about by
their means, and that the plot against
Hero which we see is Matching will by
them be brought to naught. Had Dog
berry been one whit less conceited, one
whit less pompouS, one whit less tedi-
Gus, he could not have failed to have
dropped at least one syllable that would
have arrested LeonatO's attention just
before the tragic treatment of Hero in
the marriage scene, which would not
then have taken place, and the whole
story would have ended then and there.
Dogberry had 10 be introduced just then
to give us assurance that Don Johns
villainy would come eventually to light.
and enable us to bear Hero's sad fate
with such equanimity that we can

THE BODY. AT THE MORGUE.
IS PROBABLY THAT OF Carl
BALDWIN.
A Youth Of That Name Disappear
ed From Dos Pa1os About
Three Weeks Ago.

The name Of the young man who on
Wednesday morning last was crushed
to death while attempting to board a
moving train has not yet been ascer-
tanned. A man named Andrew Red
mond, who lives near Los Gatos, see
ing the press reports of the affair, COM
municated with Coroner McMullen by
telephone, imagining that his son
might have been the unfortunate, but
a few minutes later the young man
walked into the Coroner's office and MS
father at Los Gatos was made happy.
Eugene Allen, the youth who was
with the unfortunate when he lost his
life is now inclined to believe that the
later said his home was in Los Banos,
or some place with similar name.
Since the above was written and at
a late hour last night Officer Talbot
came across a postal card mailed at
Dos Palos, Merced County, which thus
describes a youth missing from that
place:
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Carl Baldwin, boy 10 years old,
about ) feet inches in hight,
weight 150 pounds. fair complexion,
light hair and blue eyes (white of
eve somewhat red from being out
in the SUM, has a lock of hair al
most white on the fore part of his
head. Wore coat and vest of dark
brown check goods; pants, dark
gray, striped; white shirt and col
lar with dark-colored tie; white
straw hat with black band, band
containing red figure; black con-
gress shoes, No. 8.
Left home at Dos Palos, Cal,
Sunday, June 49, 1899. and has not
been heard from since; when last
seen had red ribbon on lapel of
coat.
"A reward of SO will be given
for his detention and delivery to
me. Wire at once, If found. to
"P. o. BALDWIN,
DOS Palos, Merced County,"
Officer Talbot took the card to Cor
oner McMullin, and the latter said
that in many respects the description
answered that of the unknown, but the
latter seemed to be more than Is years
old. The Coroner did not then make
a very thorough examination of the
body, but will do so this morning
The coat worn by the deceased is a
brown garment, but instead of a straw
hat he wore brown derby. The head
and features are of course, badly dis
figured. Officers Talbot and Butler,
who got the body from beneath the
cars, are firmly of the belief that the
deceased is the missing Carl Baldwin.
The young man who was with the
deceased said the latter told him he
ran away from home three weeks ago
because the work on the farm was too
hard. The date corresponds with that
on which young Baldwin left home, and
there can be very little doubt that It
is his body that now lies at the
Morgue.
