JAS. NJ. CALVIN,
The Winning Candidate For
County School Snperin-
tendent.
Eligible For The Office Without
Having to Stand the Ex-
animation.

Prof. James M. Calvin, the able
young teacher who has been select
ed as the nominee for county super
intendent of schools for Christian
county, on the Democratic fusion
ticket, is one of the most accom-
plished scholars engaged in educa-
tional work in Christian county.
He was born % years ago in the
.neighborhood of Fairview and from
poverty has risen step by step, by
his own exertions, to a position of
prominence in his chosen profession.
He began teaching at IS years of
age and by alternately teaching
and attending school himself, he
succeeded in acquiring collegiate
education. After completing the
course at South Kentucky College,
he attended the Bowling Green
Normal School and graduated from
that institution.
He has had a first class certificate
for Trigg county also, although he
has not taught outside of Christian
county. Two years ago he took the
extremely difficult examination re-
quired for a state certificate anc
attained an average equaled by but
few teachers in the county. He is
probably the aonly teacher in the
county holding state certificate
that is good anywhere in the state
for eight years and making hin
eligible without further examination
for county Superintendent. To this
fact Prof. Calvin owes his nomina
ton, that will in all probability
result in placing him at the head o
the schools of the county tor the
next four years. When an unex
pect vacancy occurred on thefusior
ticket, he was the one man in the
county qualified to step to the from
and lead the allied forces to victory
in the fight against ring rule in th'
county. Personally Prot. Calvin
is a young man of irreproachabl,
character. OF moral habits, stu
Idious, Industrious and faithful t,
duty, he will make a superinten
tendent of whom the people will b.
proud. AT present he is teachin,
the public school at Beverly ant
will be confined to the schoolroon
for five days in the week. He will
use the time at his disposal t.
make as active canvass as posi-
BILE, but will have to rely great,
upon the assistance of his friend
in looking airer his interests in tn
race.

OF naval men in actual engagements.
~ well as upon his own Judgment. A
number of the heaviest of recent bat
tleehips have been fitted with this type
OF turret. which has. however. never
been in use in battle, but bids fair, In
Mr.. Cramps estimation, to further
complicate the handling of the guns In
the turrets. already difficult by reason
OF the meager view of the target At
forded by the peep-holes. Indeed, Mr..
Cramp advocates turrets entirely open
at the top, holding that the chances OF
displacement from shot falling in
the turret are 30 meager as to make
the room worthless, while 1t prevents
ventilation and otherwise embarrasses
the gun crew.

the witness at length concerning his
reported colloquy with Admiral Schley
during the battle OF Santiago, in
which the commodore was reported to
have said: Damn the Texas"
Witness said that when his conversa-
ton with Commodore Schley had &C.
CURED on the brooklyn, the commo-
dore was standing on the platform
around the coming tower nnd two or
three feet from himself 1.-THE witness)
ana That Captain Cook, part of the
time, stood in the door of the coming
tower, four or five feet distant.
He said Captain Cook had taken
part In the conversation.
| MIR. Rayner then questioned the wit
ness very closely in regard to the Ian
guage In which this colloquy was re-
ported by the newspapers and the Ian.
guage used by Mr.. Hodgson In his cor
respondence with Admiral Schley. He
read the newspaper version OF COM
mander HOdgsOn's statement Of the
colloHuy as follows:
"Schley: Hard aport.'
"HodgsOn: You mean starbonrd.'
"Schley: No, don't. We are near
enough to them (the spanIards) al
ready
"Hodgson: But we will cut down
the Texas
"schley: Damn the Texas; let her
look out for herself"
Mfr. Rayner then had the witness
scrutinize the letter which he had
written to Admiral Schley June 9Th
and drew from him the statement
that he had not then informed the ad-
miral that he had used the expression,
Damn the Texas" When the wit
ness was asked II he thought that
there was any suggestion of such an
expression, he replied: when l sug-
gested to Commodore Schley that
there was danger of colliding with the
Texas he said: Damn the Texas. He
used the expression as not in any way
condemning the Texas for being there,
but as IL he were irritated as one
might be about anything"
Mr.. Rayner asked then about the ex-
preston attributed to the witness:
"She will cut down the Texas" Com
maDder Hodgson replied that there
was no such expression In the letter
and that he never had said that the
Brooklyn would cut down the Texas.
There is good deal In that reported
colloquy that did not say" he added
1.-The statement was never made" he
went on, ''but the commodore did say
Damn the Texas"

NEWHOUSE MAY BUILD
A SHELTER IN DENVER

Denver, Oct. 9.-The Republican
says: Samuel Newhouse is In Denver
looking over the ground with a view
to the establishment here OF new GUS
tom smelter, independent OF the Amer
lean Smelling and Refining Company.
Mr.. NewhOuse is at the. Brown Palace
hotel and expects to remain in Colo
RADIO and the West for several weeks.
II shall certainly build an independ-
ent smelter In Utah." Mr.. Newhouse
said last night. This will be to
handle the product Of my mines and
those of some others who are asso-
ciated with me; and am considering
the erection of a plant here In Denver.
This smelter will not be run in con-
nection with my mining operations in
this territory, but will be custom
smelter. The thing is not decided up
on positively and the plans are too In
definite now to be discussed"
1t Is reported that Mr.. Newhouse
has already secured options on the
land for his plant and hOltis patent on
valuable reduction processes. The
building Of a smelter in Denver to
handle the immense bodies Of low
grade ore in Clear Greek cnnon, 1t is
known, has long been a favorite plan
with Mr.. Newhouse. and 1t Is be-
Iieved that his present campaign may
include the extension of the Denver,
Lakewood 4 Golden railway to the
Clear Greek camps and provide ready
and cheap transportation.

Recent reports from the various
yearly meetings or conventions Of
Friends indicate that this organixa-
ton is in danger of disappearing.
Thirteen yearly meetings report e24
deaths and I72 births, a net loss Of
1852. This loss occurs in all the meet
tngs but three-in Ohio, where the
births exceed the deaths by one; In
Kansas, where the births are one-half
more numerous that the deaths, and in
Oregon, where they are twice a. nu-
merous. though the meeting itself IL
small. In ten eastern meetings the ex-
cess Of DEATHS was 232. This falling
of Is ascribed In part to the fact that
the younger members Of the society
are leaving it and entering other com.
munlons. This dark outlook for the
society is affected only in degree by q
slight increase in its membership in
England to . total Of 1886. The
groat bulk of the denomination Is in
this country, the number in 1891 being
s-Ne $1,000. There were in Ireland at

EARTHQUAKE FLOODS
COAST OF NICARAGUA

New York. Oct. 9.-Dispatches were
received In this city yesterday from
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, which
tell of a series of earthquakes and
tidal wave which did serious damage
to the town. Shocks were felt several
times in succession from 10 o'clock
Monday night. There followed tidal
wave five feet In height which swept
through the town and flooded houses.
1t did not recede until 2 o'clock this
morning. 1t Is believed that the earth
quake was most severe at sea, as
shown by the tidal wave.
Advices received by the Central and
South American Telegraph Company
state that the station of that company,

COMMANDER H0DGSON TELLS
WHAT SCHLEY REALLY DID

Washington, Oct Lieutenant
Commander Hodgson was examined
In regard to the part the Brooklyn took
in the battle of Santiago, continuing
his description of the naval battle OF
July Bird from the point where he had
dropped that description at Captain
Lemly's request while he was on the
stand Friday.
In this connection he said 1.-THE
Brooklyn did ull she could. She got
into action just as quick as steam
could carry her there. We commenced
firing as soon as the first gun on the
port bow would bear and we kept the
port battery firing until she turned
with port helm through the arc, using
the AFT guns until we got all the star
board guns to bear"
The witness gave q detailed account
OF the part taken by the Brooklyn in
the engagement. In reply to questions,
said that at the beginning of the
sht he had given the range at 1,4OO
ards, but that after the loop 1t was
About 200 to $500 yards.
Mr.. Rayner: what was the bearing
of Commodore schley during this en-.
gaGement, or any engagement In
which you saw himy'
AAAD bCuAiAk auA AuduueT, WITH re-
spect to an officer of his rank and sta
tion In the naval service, were nat
urally those Of a commander-in-chief
of naval force on that occasion"
The witness said that the commo-
dore had occupied a place on a plat
form arUund the coming tower during
the engagement. This, he said. was n
position of danger, as the commodore
was there always in full view of the
snemy's ships.
ut has been stated here" said Mr..
Rayner, that the Brooklyn ran 1900
yards away from the enemy's ships in
making her loop"
The witness replied: "Any witness
who made that statement, although he
may have stated what he thought had
occurred, was absolutely mistaken"
How far did she go from the enc
my's vesselsY'
''She must have gone about COO
yards to the southwark, as that is
about the tactical diameter of the
Brooklyn at that speed"

Brooklyn's ability to keep up her
firer'

from her aft turret."
At this point Mr.. Rayner questioned
