SCHLEY TO HAVE
EMINENT COUNSEL
Navy Department Surprised
at Great Array Of
Lawyers
IBy Associated Press.l


Washington, D. c., Aug 2O,-There
Is said 60 be big surprise in store
for the navy department when the
court OF iutiuiry meets to investigate
the charges against schley secre-
tary Long and other officers at the
navy department have been proceed
ing on the assumption that Admiral
schley would not take the greatest
advantage Of the unusual privileges
accorded him Of having the hearings

sions are unusual in courts Of inquiry.
which are like courts martial, purely
military tribunals. But Secretary
Long wished to phow that the dtrart-
ment is more than fair to Admrol
sohley, and he has provided that this
court Of inquiry shall be subject to
the same influences as a sensational
civil trial.

NOT DEXTEROUS AT FORTY.
1t Is Said Mems Hands Lose Their
Cunning when They Reach Two
Score Years.

Long after a mans hands have
ceased to do the bidding of the mind
that directs them his mind retains
its full measure of vigor. Instances
are numerous of men who have
reached the allotted age of life con-
tinuing in the activities of the world
as long as those activities are of the
brain and not of the hand. But the
mechanics highest skill is shown
when he is between the ages of 30
and 40. After the latter age his hand
loses its cunning, but if the brain has
been taught to work he can continue
to labor and may even surpass the
earning power of his hand After 40
the muscles do not respond nearly as
certainly and readily to the orders
and the willingness of the brain,
says an industrial authority.
A good instance of the early death
of manual activity is seen in the but
ton trade. A skillful button-maker in
his prime, between 30 and 40 years of
age, can make 81 or S12 a week, be-
ing in ivory an output each day on
his lathe of 6,42O buttons. When he
gets to be As years old he can make
Sc or 81 week if he is lucky, while
20 years later, even if he still enjoys
sound health and faculties, all he can
make is IS a week

DISCOVERED BILL NYE.
Western Man who Claims to Have
Early Appreciated the Famous
HumOrlst.

Col. Bill Root, of Laramie, Wyo., is
probably entitled to the credit of hav'
ing discovered" Bill Nye, the humor-
list. Root now has charge of the In
dian village at the pan-American ex-
position, and tells the following story
of how he first met the writer:
"'Bill Nye,' when he was young
man, wasn't much; in fact, folks in
Laramie wondered whether he would
eventually dry up and blow away or
just die of plain starvation. Things
never would come his way, and that
same way led through many rocky
places. Everything to which he turned
his hand seemed to wither under it,
and he began to think that he was a
'hoodoo.'
"Bill was pretty discouraged sort
of chap when 1 said to him and his
wife one day: Come out to the ranch
and stay with me for awhile and they
came. Long before this time Frances,
Bills wife. had made up her mind that
Bill was cast in the mold of lawyer,
and nothing would do but Bill must
study law. So Bill came along with his
old books and would wander around
the ranch trying to imbibe ozone and
pages of Blackstone. But the canker-
worm of worry was In his mind and the
ozone and several of the things l had
in cupboard seemed to do little
good"

And Fly Riding whips with which

ely nets for horses in harness are
old as the hills" said dealer in
horse equipments, reports the New
York Sun. but saddle fly nets, for
saddle horses, are something COM
pSatively new. They are made
to fit around the cantle of the saddle,
from which they extend back over the
horses launches. The net is made
of leather cords, con}nonly in russell,
sometimes in black, attached across
in parallel lines to five bars or tapes
running lengthwise of the horses
back, the free ends of the cords hang
ing in the usual manner at the horses
sides.
"As to appearance such net, seen
on a saddle horse, is not only entirely
slightly and appropriate there, but it
gives to the horses outfit touch of
picturesqueness.
Another comparatively new thing
for riders use is the fly riding whip
which has, attached to a handle of
about the same length, a hair switch
about 10 inches in length. This is
something not intended for park use,
for which the saddle fly net is en-
tirely suitable, but rather for use in
switching the flies off horse while
riding along on the highways and
the byways; perhaps on short-tail-
ed horse, or, it might be, in a region
wnere flies were particularly bother

TASTING OF LIQUORS.
of Humbug I'm the Expert
Palate Claim.

Stories about the delicate taste"
of those who claim to be wine experts
are always interesting. Recently we
came across one in which Goethe fig
ures, says the Buffalo Commercial
AT a small party at the court of Wei
mar the marshal asked permission to
submit a nameless sample of wine.
Accordingly a red wine was cir
culated, tasted, and much commend
ed. Several of the company pro-
nounced it Burgundy, but could not
agree as to the special vintage of the
year. Goethe alone tasted and tasted
again, shook his head, and, with
meditative air, set his glass on the
table.
"Your excellency appears to be of a
different opinion" said the court
marshal. MAY I ask what name you
give the wine?"
1.-The wine, said the poet, "is quite
unknown to me, but l do not think
that it is a Burgundy, L should
rather consider it good Jena wine
that has been kept for some while IN
q Madeira cask."
"And so, in fact it is" said the
court marshal.
There is a great deal of humbug In
this wine tasting and expert palate
in liquors. We have seen several men
smacking their lips over some real
old" whisky from a bottle labeled
1S43, and discussing what the effect
of the aging had been, when the real
facts were that it was very ordinary
whisky put into bottle labeled as
above the night before by some one
who wanted to test the experts.

AROUND THE WORLD.
A Trip That Has Never Been Made
Despite All Claims to the
Contrary.

No one has yet really made a jour-
ney round the world, says reliable
authority. The course usually fol-
lowed is approximately about 10000
miles in length. The shortest time for
this distance is that made by George
Griffith, an Englishman, who accom-
plished the distance in 64h days, as an
ordinary passenger, via Suez and Hong
Kong.
The only way to make a real trip
around the world would be at the
equator, where the circumference is
24,S55 miles, nearly 5000 miles longer
than the usual route.
Some years ago an Italian offered to
accomplish this task in three years,
provided the necessary funds were
found; but nothing came of it. 1t is
extremely doubtful whether such a
feat is within the realms of possibility,
as the man rash enough to undertake
it would have to spend months in the
pestilential basin of the Amazon, hew
his way for hundreds of miles through
the terrible Congo forest and cross
the great twin islands of Sumatra and
Borneo, in a latitude where fever of
the deadliest description is everywhere
prevalent.

A COLLECTIVE NAME.
Herein In n Sensible and Simple So
luton of a Problem of
Long Standing.

"Every once in awhile comes a de-
name for the United States, but con-
gress pays no attention to such de-
mands, and the people seem very well
satisfied with the present designation
of our country, although it does some
times produce awkward expressions in
the way of derivatives" said the man
on the South side car, according TO the
Chicago Inter Ocean. ITO avoid this,
the word America is generally substi-
tuted for United States, although the
name properly belongs to the whole
continent, and Canadians, Mexicans,
Cubans, etc, have the same right to
be called Americans as we have.
"Such names as Columbia, Usonia,
ETC., have been selected as such col
lective names, but it would appear that
we have a better name right in the
initials of United States, and which
are in such common use as to be IA
miliar to all.
"Why not call the country us" The
name is short, expressive, and has a
sort of Biblical sound quite pleasing
to the ear. 1t rhymes with fuss, buss,
cuss, muss and Numerous other words
existing or coinable, and could not be
mistaken for any other country. 1t
has an egotistic sound, and significance
rather pleasing to the average citizen,
and would, no doubt, be readily accept
able. The people would be either
Usites or Uses, or perhaps Usians, and
the collective name cranks would be
silenced"

SOLUTION OF A MYSTERY.
Alarming Appearance of Words In
Spider Webs ut Toledo and
Their Origin.

Toledo's wonderful spider web mys-
terry has at last been cleared up. Sew
eral days ago thousands of Toledo peo-
pie fiocked to a point on Canton ave-
nue., near the courthouse, where in
plain letters on spider web appeared
the words "My Jim" and Murder"
What made the denizens of that local
ity shudder every time they looked at
it or thought about it <Aas the fact
that the web was spun at the corner OF
a house in which Jim Lee, colored
man, had been murdered day or two
before. The letters were of white,
while the web appeared few shades
darker. Yet it was the belief OF eV-
erybody who saw it that it could not
have been the work of human hands,
reports a Toledo correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Names appeared on other spider
webs. but the mystery remained I'M
solved until a Mrs. Leggett, who
came here from Detroit, said her
husband made the letters. She made
the admission to ease the mind of
servant girl who had shown signs OF
insanity because of the web on the
house where Lee was killed. Mrs. Leg
gett said her husband makes the let
tiers from hbers he takes from spider
webs. Armed with string of letters,
he has but to put them on a web that
strikes his fancy. The letters are
slightly moistened, and then Leggett,
by a gentle breath, blows them upon
the web, and they cling there as
though placed there by the spider it.
self OF course, stirring breeze soon
destroys the letters or blows them to-
gether. He does it so deftly that no
one, unless cognizant of the method
employed, would suspect the decep-
ton. He spread the names about to
call attention to his invention, expect
ing to use it for advertising purposes.

NEW FATTENING FAD.
Strict Regimen of Bananas Results
In Curing Nervous Dyspepsia
and MakeA Flesh.

A lady who was recently so Ill OF
nervous dyspepsia as to be in bed, and
so thin that she gave up all hope of
ever getting fat, secured new doc
tor who used her for an experiment in
diet. He placed her upon a strict
regimen of bananas, nothing else, says
the New York Herald.
The result was marvellous. She grew
to really like them, when prepared
by baking and served with sugar and
cream, or cold, in the form of delicate
Jelly. She also had banana fritters and
biscuit made of banana -four. Daily
she grew more plump and rosy, and
now she is we'll, and expects to stay.
Bananas contain starch in its most
easily assimilated form. Homeopathic
doctors have for some years called this
tropical fruit unwholesome, but 1t is
only indigestible when unripe. AS
most bananas arrive here and are
eaten in a green state, cooking is nec-
essary to develop their valuable nutri-
tive qualities.
The delicious large red banana from
Cuba is the most acceptable one, but
now very scarce. The cheapness ofthis
cure is one of its charms, for almost all
treatment for weak nerves and poor
nutrition is very expensive. The hap
DIV woman who tried the fad is telling
all her thin friends about it and assur-
ing them that il really is great.
