rnE sCnLEY CouRr FINpING

The Evening Journal has never as
sumed partisan attitude in the matter
of the Schley controversy. The evidence
produced az the trial was so volumi-
nous, and at times so technical that a
laylnan would find great difficulty in
reaching conclusions satisfactory to
himself and to others. We had hoped
that the verdict by the court would
not only be final. but that It's conclu-
sions would provo satisfactory TO the
people, putting to rest the spirit OF
bitterness which has characterized the
contention from the beginning. 1t is
always well 10 accept The verdict of our
tribunals without question, unless, in
deed, there is a purpose TO appeal
to q higher court Unfortunately, we
believe there will be an effort to do
this, and the Schley case may be TO the
navy what the F'itz John Porter case
was to the army. Congress will now
have various measures to consider pro-
viding for an investigation under which
the straw of the matter will have TO be
threshed over again.
The court finds against Schley on
almost every count. save that of cow
ardice; he is even adversely criticised
for the famous loop, although the testi-
mony OF the most expert witnesses at
the trial was to the effect that the
movement was desirable and neces-
sary. The separate opinion of Admiral
Dewey that Schley was the senior Off
Ger in command of Santiago, and that
as such he was entitled to all the honor
attaching to that position, win do lit
tie to modify the blow Of the verdict,
since the courts have given Sampson
the prize money, which is in recogni-
ton of his claim of being chief in COM
mand.
We give It as our opinion THAT the
people at large will never accept the
verdict as final II would be against
all tradition. A victorious commander
is sure to receive the plaudits OF the
masses, and previous conduct is not
inquired into with too great particular

Missouri has been called the "Puke
State" This disrespectful and almost
vulgar designation is said to have the
following explanation: In 1927 lead in
great quantities was discovered at
.Galena, in Illinois, and such numbers
of Missourians went from their own
State over into Illinois to work in the
lead mines that the people of Illinois
facetiously observed that Missouri had
puked its inhabitants over into llli-
nois. For some ineXplicable reason the
name struck the public fancy, and, in
spite of the objections of Missourians,
it clung to the State.

Welded TO SAVE PIGS LIFE.
Wise Magistrate Suggests as n Mode
of settlement.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The office of Magistrate Conohan, in
Wilkesbarre, Pa, was the scene of
novel wedding to-day, the participants
in which were Miss Matilda Parker
son, aged So, and Hiram Johnson,
aged So.
About a week ago Miss Parkerson
and Johnson claimed the ownership OF
a little pig Miss Parkerson said 1t was
her pig and Hiram took an oath that
the pig was his property. After SQUAD
bling for ten days, the matter was
brought before Justice Conohan, who
promised to settle the dispute.
The pig was brought to the 'squires
office, and the interested parties were
en- hand. Miss Patterson swore the pig
was hers. Then Johnson was sworn. He
called the pig by name and the little
one followed him all over the room.
He had trained the pig and for half an
hour he amused the squire and all the
witnesses.
The aldermen finally rendered the
following verdict: That the pig should
be killed and roasted and be divided
equally between Miss Parkerson and
Hiram Johnson. Both protested. They
did not want to see the little pig kill
ed Miss Patterson said she would
save the pig If she had to die for 1t.
The squire suggested that they get
married-it would save the pig and
they would both own it. Hiram said
he would not propose to Miss Parker
son as he was ashamed.
After some hesitation, Matilda
finally asked Hiram If he would be-
come her husband. The Justice remem-
bered that he had a wedding ring In
the safe that had been left there for
security The groom bought it for $3.50.
The couple then got marriage license
and the alderman made them man and
wife. thus saving the life of the pig.
After the alderman had kissed the
pair and wished them a prosperous life
they got into the farm wagon, the pig
between them, and drove home.

New York, Aug. 16.-As scarcely nifty
years have elapsed since girls received
even the most meager education, 1t Is
not surprising that the collegiate hon
ors now being attained by women are
a never ceasing topic of interest. 1t Is
still less remarkable that the constantly
increasing professional ventures and
successes of women furnish an absorb
ing novelty to the thinking world. TO
the casual observer II is of little inter-
est TO learn that some proficient wo-
man has been made the residing physi-
clan of an insane asylum, for instance,
but to those who realize the long ana
almost ceaseless struggles of women to
obtain medical education in the past
or who reflect upon the frightful con-
dition of some women's wards in In
sane asylums, and the subsequent scan
dals. because there was no woman in
authority over such helpless creatures,
the fact of the appointment of women
physicians is fraught with deep signifi-
canoe Women to-day are entering this
profession in greater number than any
other.

Women at Easton Road is stated al
most wholly by woman physicians.

THE SPEED OF GREYHOUNDs.
They Are the FIeetest of All Four
Footed Animals.
From the London Mail.


Comparatively few people realize of
what remarkable speed dogs are capa-
BILE. Some remarkable statistics in re-
gard to this have been gathered by
NJ. Dusolier, a French scientists.
After pointing out the marvellous en-
durance shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently for
hours while the latter are riding on BIZ
cycles or in carriages, he says that
ever greater endurance is shown by
certain wild animals that are akin to
dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between fifty
and sixty miles in one night, and an
arctic fox can do quite as well, If not
better.
Nsnsen met one of these foxes on the
ice at a point more than seventy miles
northwest of the Sannikow territory,
which is 4S0 miles from the Asiatic
coast. Esquimau and Siberian dogs can
travel forty-five miles on the ice in
five hours, and there is one case on
record in which team of Esquimau
dogs travelled six and a half miles in
twenty-eight minutes.
According to M. Dusolier, the speed OF
the shepherd dogs and those used in
hunting ranges from ten to fifteen
yards a second. English settlers and
pointers hunt at the rate of eighteen to
nineteen miles an hour, and they car
maintain this speed for at least two
hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinary SWEET
as is proved by the fact that a dog Of
this breed once beat thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles in six anc
one-h half minutes, which was at the rate
of nearly eighteen yards second.
Greyhounds are the swiftest of al
four footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that OF

A boat, such as shall describe, will
cost but a few dollars, and can be
built by any boy handy with a ham
mer, saw and plane.
A large cabin boat is, of course, the
plaything of the wealthy, but no boy
ought to be deprived of a glorious
sport, when by working a few days he
can earn all that is necessary for a
boat such as i describe. Just ask your
fathers. boys and see If you can't be-
come captains.
The best place to build a boat is in
the backyard. The more room you
have when commencing to bend the
sides, the better. But to start the boat.
Take a piece of oak l inch thick, Is
inches long, and inches wide. Bevel
the sides until the width on the mar
rover side is inch. This is the stem.
For side get two clear pine or cedar
boards IA inches wide and 10 feet long.

semble large ".
One inch from the stern end of the
sides fasten cleats of hard wood 2
inches thick and 3 inches wide.
Cut out the stern-b board as in figure
Now lay your v on the ground.
Near the center place a wide board 4
feet long to keep the boards apart.
Take a good stout rope and pass it
around both side pieces. Tie 1t with a
square knot, put a stick between the
ropes and twist until you can twist no
more. Have your companion drive
stakes into the ground to hold the
sides where they are. Then untwist
your rope and do the same thing over
again. until the ends of the sides are
a little less than 2h feet apart. Drive
several stakes firmly into the ground
to hold everything solid, and then, aft
er soaking the boards with water
leave them over night.
The next day let them spread to ~
feet and nail in your stern piece to
the cleats Afterwards put several
long nails into the sternboard from the
sides.
Now, being careful the board in the
center does not fall out, tip your boat
over and plane the sides until a mar
row board laid across fits perfectly
fat. At the same time plane the point
marked X Fig. 1 to a gradual curve.
You are now ready to put on the

however will do for bottom boards, and
