He served Calamity in the Rebellion
and Spanish War.

New York, June 8O.-Rear Admiral
John W. Philip died here today. An
organic affection OF the heart was the
cause of his death. He was taken Ill about
II o'clock Thursday night. But today
his condition had become so alarming
that consultation Of physicians was
held. Nothing could be done for the
sufferer and he died at Is p. m. His
wife was at his bedside when the end
came,
During the war with Spain, Admiral
Philip commanded the battleship Texas
and participated in the destruction OF
Cervera's fleet as well as in the other i'm
portant naval movements in the West In
dies during that war. Upon being raised
to the grade of rear admiral by the pas
sage OF the naval personnel bill, he be-
came commandment Of the Brooklyn navy
yard.
The funeral Of Rear Admiral Philip
will take place at the navy yard, Brook
Ign, on Monday afternoon. The remains
will be taken to Annapolis that night
and interment will be in the cemetery at
Arlington on Tuesday.

one of the worst calamities the coun-
try has witnessed for long time is the
great condagration at Hobolen. The
loss of property is very great, but that
is a small matter along side Of the loss
Of / fe Tt is to be hoped that the esti-
mates Of the number of the lost will
D owe to be exaggerated, but it is to be
feared that it may fall below the truth.
The fearful rapidity with which the
flames spread, the suddenness with viii CHI
escape was cut off and the large num-
Der OF people who were exposed gives
reason for apprehension that many more
persons lost their lives than is now sup
posed. 1t will be long time before the
full extent of the loss is known,
indeed, it is doubtful if it is ever known,
for many of the bodies must have been
entirely consumed, while many also
must have been carried off by the current
where they viii never be found. Some
years ago Portland had, on small scale,
very much such fire as this, on Gait S
wharf Anybody who remembers that
can form some concept on of the
rapidity with which the flames spread
at Hoboken and the terrible confusion
and pa mic that ensued.

1t seems to be settled now that the for
eign ambassadors are still in Pekin not
withstand1ng repeated reports that they
had left the city and gone north. Up
to Wednesday they were still unframed.
The reason that they did not leave is
not absolutely known, but the sumise
that they feared the hordes of hostile
Boxers infesting the country outside,
furnishes probably the correct explana-
ton. Admiral Seymour's experience
shows that without European military
force to protect them it would have been
exceedingly hazardous for them to leave
the city. Undoubtedly the powers
now that they know the facts, Will take
prompt and vigorous measures TO rescue
them from their perilous predicament,
but with all the haste that can be made
a considerable time must elapse before
a relief expedition can reach Pekin, since
the railroad is badly crippled and hordes
of hostile Cinnamon infest the country.
Admiral Seymour s report Of his expedi-
tion tends to corroborate the impression
that the Chinese government is secretly
in sympathy with the Boxers since some
of the Imperial troops on one occasion
joined the Boxers in attacking him. 1t
also shows that the country is full of
modern arms, indicating that the Chi
nese have been preparing for this out
break for good while. Inasmuch as the
whole of Europe has been discussing
for years right in their hearing the dis
memberment of Chinese empire, this, per-
haps, is not strange. After Japan easy
victory the world came to look upon the
Chinese as defenceless people who
could be plundered at any time with
impunity. The discoveries that have been
made during the present outbreak show
that this Is far from the truth, and will
very likely have restraining effect on
scheme for partitioning the country.

Neither saved Nor rarnsd.

Railroad people have an arrange
ment by which they can register the
speed of train. 1t looks like steam
gauge and is connected with the axle,
so that the pointer registers the num-
Der of revolutions every minute. There
are SO many revolutions to the mile.
and by an Ingenious arrangement the
number of miles an hour Is shown up
on the dial. The apparatus Is expen.
sIve as well as delicate.
The late Jay Gould was one of the
first to adopt Il, and shortly after a
register was placed In his private car
Russell Sage was making u journey
With him and inquired what It was.

somethinE About a Character Whom
Lowell satiri.ed.
John p. Robinson, the subject of one
of James Russell Lowelrs Hosea Big
lows" satires, was a brilliant lawyer
of the town of Lowell, scholarly gen.
tleman and wit. 1t is said of him
that he had read Homer's "Iliad" so
much that he could recite nearly the
whole of 1t from memory. Mr.. Robin
son was favorlte stump speaker about
the period of 1910. He was Whlg
and had the ambition to represent his
district Ia congress.
In 1912 he received the Whig nomi-
nation for this position. 1t was bad
year for Wing candidates, as the Lib.
erty party had then begun to present
nominees against 1t. A majority was
at that time required 10 elect, and
there was no choice at the regular elec-
ton. The Whig party, always timid,
feared Mr.. Robinson could not be elect
ed on further trial and induced him to
withdraw from the contest that 1t
might present candidate more ac-
ceptable to the antislavery men. This
was severe disappointment to Mr..
Robinson. He became dlsgusted with
the Wings and bitter toward the anti
slavery advocates.
A few years later, after General Ca.
leb Gushing had been In the Mexican
war, he was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis as their candidate for governor
of Massachusetts, upon which Mr.. Rob-
inson wrote letter declaring he should
leave the Whig party and support Gen
eral Gushing. This induced Lowell's
poem. Governor Briggs was then the
Whig candidate for governor, and Low
ell had two refrains to his verses. The
first read; rs
SO John p.
Robinson, he
Says he shan't vote for Governor B.
And the second:
So John p.
Robinson, he
Says he shall vote. for General @.

Identical Names-IIow the Difficulty

M Especial Correspondence.l
SYDNEY. @. B., Dec. 29.--SittIng one
rainy afternoon In the office of little
hotel on the shore of one Of the Bras
dor lakes picked up heavy volume
titled "McAlpine's Nova Scotia Direct
ory." and for lack of more enter
tanning literature began to turn and
study its pages. They were n curious
index to the character of the popula-
ton of the New Scotland" ,st
Middle names are not In favor here,
and so plain John McDougalls and
Donald McIntyres multiply. and their
names overflow the pages of Meal
pines book. 1t follows naturally that
there is confusion. You cannot en-
counter two columns of John McDon-
aids in directory In search for some
one of that name without finding your
self at loss to distinguish the object
Of your quest unless you know all of
his distinguishing marks. And II you
know them, why seek the directory, un-
less indeed you yourself are John Nc
Donald and you want only the salts
faction of seeing your name on the
printed page? In this case the direct
ory, which was not printed to cater to
your vanity, fails to perform Its func-
tion. If you are seeking information
Of the whereabouts of n John McDon-
aid, 1t fails to direct" or 1t directs
with SO many fingers TINT you know
not which way to turn. If you want
to illustrate the situation. look In the
directory of any large city for the name
Of that greatly execrated, highly re-
spected. much multiplied John Smith.
1t has occurred to me often In the
agony Of searching directory Of New
York city that there should be some
enactment by which all owners of very
common names should be numbered
and identified by their numbers, as
John Smith the. twenty-fourth (abbre-
waited, IL you will, to John Smith 24)
and William Jones the forty-flfth.
In this extremity the needs Of local
intercourse have called the fancy into
play. and distinguishing titles and
nicknames have suppIanted baptismal
names. And these titles Mr.. McAlpine
has found it wise to incorporate in his
most interesting work, so that. as
study its pages now lying before me,
am able to learn from them some
thing Of the characteristics Of many
of the people whose names lie has set

Rather In the way of a pu.r1e.

Some of my readers are, know, much
interested in anything in the way of a
mathematical puzzle. Here is one which
may amuse them:
Open a book at random and select a
word within the first ten lines and less
than the tenth word from the end of the
line. Now double the number of the
page and multiply the sum by 5. then
add 20, and then add the number of the
line selected; then add 5, then multiply
the sum by 10 and add the number Of
the word in the line. When this has been
done, subtract 250, and the remainder in
the unit column will indicate the number
of the word, in the ten column the num-
ber Of the line and the remaining figures
the number of the page.-Answers.

farmers. So far l am confused. But
one is Big Miles McInnis, one Is Miles
McInnis, Neil's son, and one is just
Miles McInnis. Here is the way they
stand:
McInnis, Miles Dig, farmer, Skye
Glen.
McInnis. Miles (N's SOM, farmer,
Skye Glen.
McInnis. Miles, farmer, Skye Glen.
Nothing could be clearer. If the Me-
Innis that l seek is not big and 10 not

And so 1t goes even to the second
generation. For here is j. McEach-
ron. big AS son. And of the first gen.

and Don Mcdonald, widows son, aud

others. some OF which have evident
Significance and some of which have
none. About the latter question my
landlord. What. | ask him, Is the
meaning OF "bentic," printed In paren.
theses after n mans name? That, he
explains, Is the name of the mans
farm. But other acquired titles have
less Intimate association. For exam

is one who works for man named

Embraces and kisses are rehearsed

must look sufficiently fervid. 1t is q
curious slght--that of two players who
are to express the ardent love which
Shakespeare has written for his 'Ro-
meo and Juliet but who at rehearsal,
In modern clothes and no accessories of
glamour, practice kiss as mechanical

ment. There must be no hesitation or
clunsiness. Romeo is not permitted to
decide whether to throw both arms
around his sweetheart or only one or
which, nor may. Juliet be shy or for
ward, yielding or resisting, as she
chooses. The director will place their
arms for. them If they do not them
selves make a picturesque exhibit OF
tenderness. ..
"And the kiss? Shall 1t be delivered
by the wooer ON the lips of the won

tlon Is considered and settled. Are

twice, In order to show the effect fully.
An actress would resent real kiss at

For the satisfaction of natural curlosi-

served from the weather as II By the act
OF Providence. II was almost worth its
weight in gold TO the unfortunates on

bins were piled high with the fuel. and
she was headed toward Dutch Hnrbor
This port she made in safety, and 100
mon, women and children breatbed a
prayer OF tbankfnlness to their Creator.
The revenue officers came and survey
ed the Eliza Anderson. They saw the
gaping seams In her hull and ordered
that she proceed no farther. There she
lay, her anchors set in the soft sand Of
the harbor, until n couple of months
later. when in terrific gale from the
southeast the Anderson was driven on
the rocks. where she lies today.
Who was the man who led the Ander-
son to shore, where fuel for her boilers
lay, as IL placed there by Providence? 7?
There is no record showing bis name.
No one who was ou the Anderson then
knows where he lived or what his call
ing was. He diFappeared as the Ander-
son approached the shore as IL he had
dropped from the clouds and ascended
again.
One old sailor who was on the Ander-
son believes the stranger was spook

the other day. "The old man loved the

her to a port of safety. I never heard

THE QUEER cRUsTAcEAN.
Interesting Characteristics of Lob
ssers and Turtles.

lnterest1nS Characterlsttcs OF Lob
ssers and Turtles.
Lobsters, when young and frivolous,
change their shells several times a
yenr, but as they grow older and, pre-
sumably, more sedate they are content
with a new suit every summer. The
lobster is his own tailor, and persons
who have watched the process say
that the difficulty seems to lie in get
ting rid of the old garb and not in fit
ting the new. First he is attacked by
a series Of convulsions lasting for sew
eral days. During these faint line
Of breakage appears down the middle
Of the back, which gradually grows
broader with every spasm. The head
piece is the first to break entirely, and
suddenly violent effort enables the
lobster to withdraw his head. leaving
the larger part OF his eyes in the shell.
After rest OF u few hours the strug-
gle begins again, and the shoulders, or
large claws, emerge, with effort so ex-
hausting that nearly Q day is required
for recuperation.
During this time he presents a Curl
ous spectacle. with head and body COM
pletcly out Of the shell and only the
tail inclosed. Then the convulslve
movements are resumed. and shell by
shell the tail covering is loosened, un-
til, with violent struggles, the tail is
free. and the lobster, looking as If he
had been boiled, lies down for a. sleep
of two or three days.
The new suit grows with great
rapidity and fits in perfect tailor made
style, literally nodded to the form.
Like the crab, which is most ejteem-
ed when soft shelled," that is, at pre-
cisely this period, which is similar in
both, the lobster is regarded by cpl
cures as especially delicious when thus
denuded of his shell covering, but as
he hides carefully among the rocks he
Is seldom procurable.-New York Trib-
