Kindred Minds.

General Thiebault says that. at one
time when Napoleon was carrying OUT
an operation which could only be ac-
complished with absolute secrecy he
rode one day to the head OF a column.
where he heard a soldier say:
Faith. if l were general-in-chief l

We'll" called Napoleon. what
would you do?'
The soldier unfolde1 his plan. 1t
was the very one which Napoleon him
self had evolved.
Rascal cried the general. "Will
you hold your tongue?'
After the battle which had proven
the wisdom OF the project. he sought
about for the soldier whose mind had
mirrored his. The man was dead.

TO RAISE THE MAINE.
Men Who Do the Work viii Receive
Only Salvage

Ii has been three years since 25S sail
ors of the Uni,ed States navy went to
the bottom of Havana harbor with the
wreck OF the battleship Maine, and on
the third anniversary of that event a con-
tract was signed for the raising of the
wreck. The \. i. Chamberlain company
OF Chicago i'll undertake the work.
little over two years ago. when the
question of raising the wreck was first
seriously preached Mr.. Chamberlain CON
ceived a plan for raising the wreck of the
Maine. as well as that of the grounded
Spanish transport Alfonso NIL He inn
mediately organized company and set
to work TO perfect the details of the task
Mr.. Chamberlain then proposed to raise
both the wrecks of the Maine and the
Alfonso for salvage. agreeing at the same
time TO pay the government 8 per cent
of the net proceeds and guaranteeing the
return of all personal property of the
crew that should be recovered. The gov
eminent notified the company that the
proposition was acceptable and witt the
approval of the bond and the attachment
Of the official signatures the company is
now ready to begin work.
The plan which Mr.. Chamberlain has
adopted for the Maine is the building of
an immense cofferdam around the wreck
The dam will be eighty feet broad at the
base and wide enough at the top for
safe wagon road. The incline will be on
he inside. Bundles of brush thirty feet
ivhg, weighted with stone, will first be
let down all around the wreck Upon this
dirt and gravel will he dumped, forming
a comparatively water-tight foundation.
Stone, brush, dirt and gravel will then be
alternated until the wreck is completely
surrounded by dam forty-five feet high.
Pumping engines will be put to work
as soon as the dam is completed and the
wreck cleared of water. A we'll will be
dug inside the dam. into which the bilge
water can run, and the work of retriev-
ing the wreck will then be fairly begun.
One hundred tons of brass and bronze,
together with the engines and the protec-
tive armor Of the Maine. will be the prop
erty of the Chamberlain company. The
cost of doing the work outlined by Mr..
Chamberlain is estimated at $4,000

pursued with regard to the Alfonso XII

The Grand Army of the Republic still
