NO MORE FIGUREHEADs.

In these practical days the man who
builds a vessel seldom spends much
money in useless decoration, and so the
browning glory of the ship of the olden
time, the fgurehead, is seldom. seen on
American vessels, except on the larger
yachts, says a Bangor (Me.) cOrrespon-
dent of the New York Sun. With the
passing figurehead has disappeared al
most entirely the -flourishing in
dustry, or art, of the ship carver. Up
to 20 years ago nearly all vessels of any
considerable size carried some sort of
carving under their bowsprits, and il
gave them a sort of finishing touch
that is lacking now. Figures of women
of voluptuous form wsr. he favorite,
and these women wol. astonishing
white gowns, or Greciau robes, with
trimmings of the most stun ming shades
of red, blue and yellow. They had the
expression of lofty virtue chat is seen
on the face of the Goddess Of Liberty,
and they were much admired by sailors.
Eagles fishes, Indians and figures of
Triton and Neptune Were also much in
vogue, and fierce-lookine [ragons were
prime favorites.

THE BISHOPS Luz. HE'D.

During the recent specll session Of
the Protestant Episcopal House of
Bishops in New York, the bishops We're
invited to take luncheon at the Players
Club with Bishop Potter, who is an
honorary member. The bishop arranged
to have the luncheon served in the grill
room. Says the New York Sun:
Just after the bishops had seated
themselves at the tables, two members
of the club who hadn't heard about
their visit came in for luncheon and
made for the grill room. They We're
stopped by one of the club servants,
who told them that the members would
be served with their luncheon upstairs.
Whats the matter with the grill
room?" asked one of the men.
THE House of Bishops is lunchlng
there today" was the answer.
"Who?" inquired the club member.
THE House of Bishops" was the an
swer. Bishop Potter and all the other
bishops in the United States"

member. 81 suppose that, dating from
today, the stage will be considered to
have been properly elevated"

OUIQUARANIINt WHARF
NO MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT
OWNERSHIP.
Always Perfect Understanding Between
Territory and Navy Department
Purposes of the Wharf.

There is no misunderstanding of any
kind whatever between the Territorial
and naval authorities in regard to the
ownership of channel wharf or the land
upon which it stands.
As is well known part of the wharf
is on land belonging to the Navy de-
paItment When the wharf was plan
ned is was found that owing TO the
boundaries there 1t was impossible to
put the wharf i'm the position desired
and have it as extensive as was neCes-
sary, without enCroching upon strip
of Navy land. The matter being urgent,
Captain Merry granted permission to
the then Minister OF Interior to occupy
the strip as suggested, subject to the
approval of the WASHINGTON authorities.
and on further condition that the
wharf be removed from the Naval strip
at any time the land might be required.
| The entire wharf, and Territorial part
of the land as well, may at any time
be condemned and taken for army or
navy purposes, precisely as can any
other public land i'm the country.
The Interior department constructed
! the wharf at a cost of something like
100000. II was Immediately turned
over to the Chamber of Commerce for
use i'm the transshipment of goods to
the other islands in plague times. 1t
was then that the Chamber spent some
thing over $4,000 and received back
something like $4,000 in wharf charges.
A little over $4,000 was for permanent
| improvements to the wharf and the
remainder for expenses of the big quar-
antine force, etc. 1t is the permanent
| improvements part of the account that
| the Government proposes to pay back
to the Chamber.
1t has always been the understanding
between the Territorial government,
| the navy department and DR.. Carmi-
chael that the channel wharf should be
preserved as a quarantine wharf until
some other scheme is provided
! 1t is calculated to use it right along,
when the necessity arises for other
purposes but in the event of the APP
pearance of any epidemic, anything or
anybody on the wharf would have to
move and the Marine Hospital Service
would take general supervision there.

TWO LIVES LOST.
Fatal Fire in a st. Louis Catholic
School.

ST. LOUIS, Feb 1.-Sister Stanislaus,
teacher, and Mary Foley, q pupil, lost
their lives as the result of a fire which
destroyed the parochial school of ST.
Lawrence O'Toole's Catholic parish
Fourteenth and O'Fallon streets, this
afternoon. There were 200 pupils and
twelve sisters in the school building, a
follr-story structure. when the flames
broke out
When the first alarm of fire was given
the teachers hastily marshaled their lit
tie charges and marched them to the
street. Sister Stanisaus had got all those
under her immediate care to the street
except Mary Foley, and before they could
escape, they were overcome by smoke. A
fireman found the two bodies on the
fourth floor, and carried them to the
open air. While awaiting an ambulance
to take them to the city hospital, the
two sufferers died.
The cry of fire caused the widest alarm
among the pupils, and but for the cool
ness Of the sisters and the help of Father
brennan and two other priests, the re.
suit of the panic might have been worse
than it was. Only few of the children
were injured.
The fire spread SO rapidly that gem
eral- alarm was turned in, bringing out
every engine in the city.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from an overheated furnace. AT 8 o'clock
every effort was being made to keep the
flames from spreading to the church of

DECLARED UsURPATION.
Act of Gov. Taylor In Adjourning
the legislature.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 1.-At the
conference of ex-Gov. McCreary, Judge
Prior, Louis McQuown and other promi-
nent attorneys the question Of Mr.. Tay-
loy's legal right to adjourn the legisla-
ture was formally discussed. The unani-
nous opinion of the attorneys was an
nounced by McCreary, who said:
There is nothing in the constitution
of Kentucky to authorize the governor,
at this hour and under existing circum-
stances, to adjourn the general assembly.
And every lawyer who l have heard ex-
press an opinion regards his proclamation
as a gross usurpation.
1.-The constitution of Kentucky fixes the
dates for the general assembly sessions,
and says: Its session shall be held at
the seat of government except in war,
insurrection, or pestilence, when 1t may.
by proclamation by the governor, as
semble for the time being elsewhere
1.-The general assembly is now In ses-
sion, and under the constitution can re-
main in session sixty days. Being In
regular session the governor does not
have to convene the senators and repre-
sentatives and fix the place of their
meeting, and there Is no war, insurrec-
tion or pestilence. In case of disagree
ment between the two houses with re-
gard to adjournment, the governor may
adjourn them for not exceeding four
months. but there must be a disagree
ment between the two houses, and the
power to convene the general assembly
is not the power to adjourn 1t when In

COAL is KING.
Great Britain Disturbed by Threat
enod Drain

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The announcement
that firm of Cardiff coal shippers has
contracted to supply foreign agents with
4OO,00O tons of steam coal for shipment
abroad has caused genuine uneasiness.
The destination of the fuel is not men
toned, but as coal at present is excep-
tionally scarce in Germany, France and
Russia, it is probably going to one of
these countries. France is already re-
placing her home deficiency by buying in
the United States but the American ship
ments are intended solely for railroad 10
comotives, and will not be used in the
navy The vital interest which the ques-
ton has for Great Britain will be under
stood when it is realized that Natal Is
depending on Wales for coal for the nu-
merous transports that have gone to Dur
ban, because the colonial coal fields have
been closed by the war 1t is pointed out
that 1t would be a good move on the part
of the Beers to drain the fuel resources
of Great Britain in this manner and In
the event of sudden demands the British
navy would be perilously crippled by the
loss of so much coal Some of the news
papers advocate the government placing
an embargo on such transactions in war
time.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
interpretations Answered by Repre-
sautntives of the Governments.


sentatives of the Governments:
LONDON. Feb lit being intimated
that Gen. Buffers sympathies were in
favor of the Beers, Mr.. Balfour, In the
house of commons, said there was no
reason to present them to the house
Gen. Buffers opinion ON South African
affairs he added was well known The
general had never suggested to the war
office, either publicly or privately, that
the number of troops required would be
anything like the number actually sent
In relation to the suggestion that the
Indian troops should have been used in
South Africa, the house, Mr.. Balfour said,
would understand the impossibility Of
this.
Replying to questions relating to the
letters of B. F. Hawksley, counsel for
the British South African company, and
other letters published by the Corre-
spondence Beige, the secretary of state
70: the colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, ad-
mitted that those of which he had per-
sonal knowledge were published sub
stantially correctly. The letters, he add
ed, were stolen from Mr.. Hawksleys Of
fee by clerk, who was summarily dis
missed in 1887 Mr.. Chamberlain further
declared that he was only aware of the
existence Of the letters a few days be-
fore they were published.
Mr.. Balfour, replying to another
question by Mr.. John Gordon
Swift MacNeill, Nationalist member
for South Donegal, in relation to
the letters published by the Cor
respondence Beige, and what he proposed
to do when the cabinet ministers were
deliberately charged with personal dis
honesty and public falsehood,'' said that
according to his view of the case such
accusations ought to be treated with con-
tempt.
Sir Charles Dixie, advance Radical
member for the Forest of Dean division of
Worcestershire, resumed the debate on
Lord Edmund F'itzmaurice's amendment
to the address to the speech from the
throne. He said he thought no one could
deny that the net results had been to kill
the belief of the world in Great Britain's
ability to conduct war The country's
military reputation, he added, was never
lower, and even now the government
failed to grasp the seriousness of the
war.
Regarding forces engaged, Mr. Windham
said that, exclusive of the Eighth di-
vision and the Fourth cavalry brigade,
Great Britain had 142,O0O foot and artil-
lery, 3,7OO cavalry, Sc siege guns, 3s naval
guns, Sc howitzers, 81 batteries of horse
artillery and 234 field guns, while the
combined forces of the two republics
were estimated in 1898 at $1,000 men.
The parliamentary secretary of the war
office also said he would have to ask the
| house for larger financial means in order
! that the war might be brought to the
only possible conclusion and the system
of home defense be put on a sound foot
ing.
