FORTUNE FOR Il +NEGKO
SAILOR.

New York, Oct. 14.-Samuel
McF Farland, a gunner's mate on
the ship Wisconsin, was in Jersey
City today endeavoring to find
Murray Watkins, to inform him
that he has inherited a large
fortune. Watkins was honorable
discharged recently from the
navy. Lieutenant William P. C.
Muir of the Wisconsin, McFar-
land said, had received a cable
message from London saying that
Watkins father had died in Lon
don, leaving Murray an estate in
England valued at $4,000 and
property in Florida worth $17, 1000
and had sent McF Far1and to look
him up.
According to Mcfarland, who
is Negro, Murray Watkins had
spent eighteen years in the navy.
He began as a cabin boy, and
when discharged was, a gunner's
mate of the first class. He was
considered one of the best shots
in the navy and had received
several medals for his markham
ship. At the outbreak of the
Spanish war he was on the flag
ship New York. He was trans
ferred to the battleship Indiana,
on which he served during the
battle of Santiago. He was at a
thirteen-inch gun when the Girls
tobol Colon came out of the har'
Dor and he fired the first shot
which struck the Spanish cruiser.
He fired the shot at distance OF
10, 500 yards, and according to
Mcfarland, won the credit of
having sunk the Colon and re-
ceived a gold medal from the
government therefor.

TRICK OF VOICE.

now One Lawyer Keeps the JuIse eroD
Sleeping.
There is said to be lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses trick OF thu
voice to which certain measure of his
success in United States Supreme court
practice is due. The trick consists In
waking a Judge. Whether it is q com
mon practice for the high dignitaries
Of the federal supreme bench to in
dulge in a nap in the course Of long
and tedious argument, such happen
lngs are not unknown, and it is well
for an able logician of the bar to be
prepared for it. The trick of waking a
sleepy Judge would seem to be some
thing in the nature Of slamming a law
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current OF an
electric battery But the trick is ex-
planned as purely 4 matter OF sound
involved in the skillful control Of the
voice. 1t is said that a bar-ister prac-
ticed in the art and rhetoric Of address
Ing the bench can gather all the waves
Of sound from his throat into a focus
and deposit it in the orifice OF the
Judges ear with the general effect OF {
bomb. The trick, however it is &C
complished, is said to have been worked
repeatedly with success on the lat'
Judge McKennan. whose habit Of going
to sleep on the bench was once no
torious subject Of comment in the It'll
cation over the Berliner telephone pat
ents. This queer trick OF the voice
while it, is said to be the peculiar prop
erty of one celebrated lawyer, Is prob
ably attempted often with varying sue
cess by others.-Philadelp Record

Perhaps the only living explorer who
is equally familiar with the dark
places of equatorial Africa and the
'land of the midnight sun" is Paul

he was away four years, returning
with live gorilla as trophy. Then
he went far north, and his fascina-
