REllc or THE WOODEN NAVY
Ola rrigats Franklin WIN Soon Be
Abandoned as Useless

From the Washington Star: THE
ancient frigate Franklin. a relic of the
cid wooden navy, which has been used
for many years as receiving ship at
the Norfolk navy yard. IS soon to be a
Deserted hulk, said naval officer, who
has recently visited the Virginia naval
station. She was examined not long
ago by a board of officers and it is be-
lieved they Will submit condemnatory
report The policy Of the department,
as is generally understood. is TO do
away with the time-honored but an
tieuated and sout-of-date system of re-
eeixing ships, substituting for them
shore barracks similar in general char
acter to the quarters occupied by en-
listed men at army posts The Iaekies
Of the old school are much opposed to
this plan. They cling TO their old fogy
ideas OF a seafaring life and believe
recruit should be placed upon the water
from the very first. To break him IN
On shore and have him live in q bar
racks, they say. will make the fellow
fandlubber all OF his natural life. While
the receiving ships OF today are moth
ing more than great floating houses,
there is nevertheless an air of the sea
about them and this the cid dogs
among the men love. Dismantled and
rooted over, the ships haven't much
resemblance TO seagoing craft. An
other thing in connection with the re-
cefying ships is that the families OF
commanding officers are allowed 70 live
aboard. The Franklin IS a historic old
boat. and il has been suggested that
one might buy her when she is put up
at auction and place the craft on ex-
hfbition IN different ports. This would
hardly seem to be profitable under

A PecuIItr Accident.

One Of the most peculiar accidents
ever heard Of happened = q eoIored
man near Red Deer. Va. 4 few days
ago. Ed Jones took his gun and SET
out for day OF sport He was not
looking for large game. but he had net
been in the woods long before he saw
an immense deer coming at ire
mendoVs rate Of speed Immediately to-
ward him. He at once fell upon his
knees. preparatory to shot, and when
the deer was within twenty feet Of him
fired and missed his aim. The deer
had acquired such tremendous no
mentum that it could net check itself,
and with the next leap landed upon
the hunter It knocked him down and
bruised him badly upon the breast
with one hind foot, the other going
into the negro,s mouth, knocking out
a number of his teeth. tearing q part
Of his gums away, and passing down
his throat. The whole thing was over
IN an instant, but when the darkey
came TO the deer was gone.

Indianapolis Chosen For Next Con-

Indianapolis Chosen For Next Com
vention and Interstate Conference.
Indianapolis, Jan. 26.--lndianapolis has
been chosen for the convention of United
Mine Workers and the interstate confer
ence of operators and miners next,year.
At the session of the miners conven-
tion National Board Member John =.
Reese of Iowa read resolution declaring
that the operators in the joint conference
had excluded the Iowa operators invited
to Indianapolis and expressed regret at
the treatment.
He asked the convention to agree in
the future to provide for the admission
of Iowa operators. lie hoped the miners
would resolve at the conclusion of the
present conference to adjourn sine die.
"Mhen we hold the next conference"
said Reese, 1--WE will admit anybody we
want, and the operators cannot dictate"
The resolution was adopted after being
amended so that not only Iowa, but any
state, might be eligible to admission to
the joint conference proceedings.
A call was made for the miners scale
committee, and Chairman w. II. Has
kins of Ohio mounted the stage and start
ed to read the report when call for an
executive session was demanded. Vice
President d. III. Sullivan of the Ohio
miners spoke against an executive ses-
sion, but he was overruled.
