The S. S. ''New York" is operated at

Uncle Sam pays the American liners
New York, st. Paul, ST. Louis and

dollars each for every trip they carry
the U. S. mail between New York and

thousand. The U. S. mail agent told
me that the New York carried nearly
one thousand mail bags this trip, which
will be taken off quickly at Southamp-
ton by eight hundred men. The vessel
has a general cargo, comprising 3.O89
pieces Of bacon, 1900 boxes of fruit. be-
sides lard and cheese. About $500 tons
of coal are loaded ON the New York for
the voyage across and $40 tons are
shoveled every day into the furnaces by

OF the vessel, however, is the main din

The voyage has been lazy trip for
everybody. The amusements have been
music, whist, poker, euchre. quoits,
deck billiards, promenading the deck
and watching for passing vessels. Last
night there was a concert given ON board
for the benefit of the Seamen's Home,
in New York. The event was quite a
dress affair, one lady wearing a $500
dress made by Worth. 1 almost neg
lected to say that flirting was a popular
amusement, as moonlight stroll on the
forward deck, which is about a quarter
of mile around, shows many flirtations
in various stages of development. The
hirters have not all been unmarried
persons, either. There are on board
1876 Christian Endeavors, who sailed for
London to attend the International
Convention of the Young Peoples
Society of the Christian Endeavor.
They will arrive day after the final
session, however, on account of the
vessel being day late. They were to
have sailed on the North German LLOYD
Liner Saale, which burned recently at
Hoboken, together with the Brennan
and the Main, of the same line. Some
of the delegates are from PARKWAY Ore
gon and Washington. The Endeavors
have held religious services every morn

SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND,

July ~, l9UU.
AS only a small per centage of Ken
tuckians have taken a sea voyage, let
ter regarding the ocean trip of the Bour-
bon party-Dr. Frank Lapsley, W. E.
Grigsby, Talbot Clay, Edward Tucker,
Frank Lowry, J. w. Bacon and Walter
Champ-may be interesting to readers
of The News. The party boarded the
American Line S. S. "New York,
which sailed at ten o'clock on Wednes-
day morning, July 18th, the immense
vessel being towed down the harbor by
two tiny, but powerful tugs. Fully
5000 people gathered on the pier to
wave a last adieu to their friends on
board. The vessel was delayed about
four hours at Sandy Hook, waiting on
the tide, before making the final start to
cross the Atlantic. The ''New York"
is $50 feet in length, 6314 feet wide, and
has tonnage of 10,800. The American
flag was raised on her mast by President
Harrison. The 'New York" w. j.
Roberts, Captain, is manned by crew
Of 385 people, most of whom are
foreigners English, Scotch, Irish and
Australians-so the passengers hear a
variety of accents and brogues. The
customs and cooking are also English.
In fact, the American Line seems to be
American in name only.
*x<
The "New York; has the largest
passenger list she has ever carried, hay
ing 375 first cabin passengers, 245 second
cabin passengers and oil in the steerage.
Among the more noted passengers are
Brig. Gen. VIM. Ludlow, Congressman
Serene Payne, of New York, Lieut..
Halstead DOrey, Aide-de-C Camp to Gen.
Ludlow. There are about twenty Ken
tuckians on board, among them being
Mrs. M. B. Railley and Miss Virginia
Lyle, Of Lexington; E. H. Cartel and
Miss Kate Carleton, of Ashland; J. G..
Foreman and Mrs. J. G. Foreman, a
most agreeable lady, of Louisville, and
charming party Of Brooklyn people
Mr.. John S. Woods, Mr.. Harry Miller
and three lovely sisters, Misses Minnie
Eugeman, Josie Eugeman and Alice
Eugeman. The Brooklyn folks and the
Brooklyn party were especially congo
NAL and spent many pleasant hours to-
gether. Mr.. Arthur Morris, of Virginia,
has also been most agreeable passen-
ger, partial to Kentuclzians, and there
are number of Ell1s on board and
''Hello Bill'' has been heard at every
turn.

Though the passengers are in the
main strictly temperate especially the
Bourbon party-they have been ''seein'
things. Three days passed without a
sight of a craft, though a number of
ships have been passed. A number of
whales have been seen spouting near
New York, and hundreds of dolphins
and few sharks, porpoises and flying
fish have been seen sporting near the
ships track. During a fog this after
noon the New York narrowly escaped
running down small schooner. The
fog was so dense that a ship could not
be seen a hundred yards away. The
shell fish giving forth a phosphorescent
gleam in the track of the vessel has
been beautiful night scene.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesday's BOSTON Jonrnal.

The sharp edge is oil the butter market and
prices are II half to one cent lower than a
week ago. supplies have been arriving more
freely since Friday last, and although they
are not yet very large, there are enough to
meet all regular wants and leave IA little to
spare. This has turned the tide in favor of
the buying interest. and the result is that
trade has been rather tame for few days
past.
buyers soon realized that there was more
butter at hand than last week, after looking
around the market, and refused to pay the
previous ruling rates. Receivers began ny
asking p cents for finest lots of New UamD.

y good story is told of Montpelier
Chinese laundryman. The Chinaman
had been in the habit of visiting Peter
Badord's blacksmith shop occasionally
to sharpen his carving knife on the pow
er grindstone there. On one of the Wis
its Mr.. BadOrd suggested to him that he
try the emery wheel as he could make
more rapid progress. The Chnaman
consented. The wheel was coarse and
ran at high rate Of speed. The China
man place the blade on the wheel, hold
ing it in place by holding either end in
his hands. The sparks from the wheel
and steel made beautiful display. One
Lung was enraptured and gave himself
up to the enjoyment of the fireworks,
imagining himself present at pyro-
technic display in the fatherland across
the seas. He bore down on the knife
harder and harder in order to increase
the display. All things have their limit,
and so did One Lungs sport, for all of
a sudden he pitched violently forward
and narrowly escaped falling upon the
wheel. The blade of the knife had been
worn to nothing by the emery wheel
and all that was left to One Lung as a
memento of the sport was the handle
and one end of the knife.

1t Is generally acknowledged that the
first maple sugar ever made In Vermont
was In Bennington in March, 176s, the
process taking place In the log cabin of
Samuel Robinson, the first settler in the
town, who came there from Hardwick,
Mass, the year before. A diary, kept
by Hiram HARDWOOD, a son of Benjamin
HARDWOOD, who was the first child born
In Bennington, makes some mention of
the early days of this now famous in
dustry, but 1t Is singular fact that q
production which formed 50 important
an article Of diet with the first settlers
should have no mention in the records of
those days. Short sections of logs hol-
lowed out, each holding gallon or
more, caught the sap as it came from the
tree. The season that year was favor
able for free run of sap, the days being
still and sunny, the nights cold and
frosty. But small quantity of sugar
was made, most of the sap being made
into syrup, of which, it Is said, "a good
sized liquor cask full' was obtained.
The sap was boiled In iron kettles which
had been purchased in Albany a few
weeks previous. The precise method of
tapping the trees is not known, although
it is stated that in many instances the
gouge, trowel and an AK was frequently
used.-Rutland News.

FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1900.

James J. Hill of the Great Northern
railway has been very active in advocat-
ing an amendment to the proposed ship
subsidy bill, now before Congress, max
ing the subsidy dependent upon the size
of the cargo carried by each vessel. Mr.
Hill is about to begin the construction at
New London, Conn, of five of the big
gest steamships in the freight.carrying
busi.I-eass to connect the western terminus
of the Great Northern at Puget Sound
with AsiatiC points. The largest boat
will carry 10000 tons of freight and
2OOO passengers. 1t will be over 600
feet in length. The ordinary ocean
steamer carries less than 5000 tons. New
London used to be the centre of the ship
building industry of New England and
turned out many of those famous whalers
of the 18th century.
