COST OF THE CUP DEFENDER

Fortune.

A correspondent of the Army and
Navy Journal having applied to it for
information on the subject, that paper
answers that the cost of the building
of the Columbia has been variouslv es,i-
mated at from 100000 to $50, 600 and
for the Shamrock at from $50. 900 to
100000. 1t then adds:
a summary of the cost of the Sham
rock, based on estimates from various
sources, is as follows: Construction
and rig, S2oo,0o0; pay roll officers and
men, including sailmakers and car
Penters $50 men), for four months at
average of $40, s12,soo; provisions for
men and officers at SIS week for IS

BIRD SISTER OF CHARITY.
Anection Manifested by Java Spar
row When Its Companion Was
hEortaIly Wounded.

Milne-Edwards, director of the Jar
din des Plantes in Paris, relates the fol-
lowing story of two Java sparrows:
They were both hens and in the same
aviary with a parrot, which took dis
like to one of them. One day the parrot
picked q quarrel with one of the spar
rows, tore out its feathers and finally
broke its leg with blow of its beak
The poor little thing could no longer
stay on perch. 1t lay shivering on the
ground, to the evident grief of the COM
panion bird. She went about the aviary
picking up straws, feathers and leaves
to make q bed for the invalid. She ac-
complished wonders Of dexterous man
agement in lifting up the featherless
sufferer and placing it on the couch
But the weather was cold at night. The
charitable bird placed Itself beside the
one with the broken leg, and extended
wing over it to keep it warm. The po-
sition must have been uncomfortable,
not to say painful, but NJ. Milne-Ed
wards never came at night to see how
this feathered sister of charity" was
behaving without finding it with its
wing lovingly extended. The invalid
died. The other bird began to nope,
lost appetite, withdrew into corner,
dropped and died also. Was 1t instinct
that prompted it to make a bed and
keep the other bird warm? No, it was
sentiment, and charitable sentiment.

only charitable, but virtuous, and really

TIE NEXC To RETIRE
Is Captain Kearlck OF the Engineer
Corps. s"..

The next navy officer to retire, ac,
cording to il list prepared by Rear
ADMIRAL Crownins!,ield, is Captain
p. A. Rearick, formerly Of the Engi
neer Corps, now stationed ut the ships
ward here, who will 60 ON the retired
list on November Il, 1900 Captain
John Love will follow him, on De
celnber II, 1900:
Captain Rearick is the senior naval
officer on duty in connection with
the government work at the plant Of
the Newport News ShipbujldinE and
Dry Dock Company. He has been
stationed here since the contra cts
were awarded for the gunboats and
has been on duty since as chief in>
spector OF machinery. He is eXcced-
-ingly-popular with the naval and
shipyard men at the plant.
No officer holding the grade Of rear
admiral will have to retire before
1901 although it is understood that
several can retire on completion of
service terms if they desire. The first
who will reach the retiring age is
Rear Admiral +. Y. McNair, superin-
tendent Of the Naval Academy, WHO
will! be relegatel to retirement on
Jauua.y 13, 1901. Rear Admiral A
kautz, commandment. chief of the
Pacific squadron, Will retire sixteen
days later. Captain N. NJ. Dyer, who
commanded the Baltimore in the
battle Of Manil;, Bay, will retire on
February IS, 1901, and the next re-
tirement will be that OF Rear Admir-
al Schlev, on October 8 Of the same
year Rear Admiral Sampson will
remain on active duty until February
8, 1902.
Fortunately for Rear Admiral
Sampson, Rear Admiral Howison's
retirement several days ago created a
vacancy for him in the grade Of senior
rear admiral. Otherwise he would
have had to remain as the senior OF
the junior rear admii;lls.
Should the President resubnit to
Congress and the latter approve the
nominations Of Rear Adlnirais Salnp-
son and Schley for advancement eight
and six numbers respectively, the eff
feet would be to make Sampson the
senior rear admiral Of the navy and
Schley No 2 on the list, thus over~
stepping Rear Admirals McNair and
Howell, which was not contemplated
in the original scheme Of promotion.
The change is due to the fact that
two officers senior to Sampson and
Schley have retired since the nomi-
nations were made at the last session.
1t is extremely doubtful if the
President will be willing again to re-
ducc Rear Admiral McNair, who was
pushed down as Il result of the pro-
motion of Admiral Dewey, or to place
Rear Admiral Howison further down
on the list when that officer perform
ed creditable service during the war
with Spain. Naval officers conse>
quently believe that the President
vii! avoid {; renewal of the strife oyel
the nominations.
