Hearst's American newspapers,
the Journal of New York, the Chs
cago American and the San Fran
cisco Examiner, are calling upon
the American people to write a
personal letter to the president, to
protest against the humiliation OF
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, one
of the nations heroes They say
that he has placed himself in
the hands of the naval clique who
have been jealousy nagging at
him ever since the battle of Santa
go was fought and they want the
expire, sion OF the American people
to go to the president, so that he
may know how aud in what esteem
Schley is held by the whole people,
irrespective of what the naval
board Of inquiry's Judgment may
be. 1t is to be hoped that from the
millions of readers OF Hearst's great
papers that there will be hundreds
of thousands of letters forwarded
to the nations chief magistrate,
who is a soldier and man himself
and who has always been anxious
to do the will Of the peope. The
S ntilel hopes that among its
readers there mly be some who
will take up the idea and write a
D rsonal letter, in respectful Ian
guage to the president, protesting
that in their judgment Schley was
the hero Of the Santiago fight, and
that he will always remain so in
the hearts of the American people.

Wife beaters and deserters ought
to be punished by being compelled
to stand in the pillory and after

There is too much of this desertion
business. A strong man marries a
girl, probably taking her from a
comfortable home, and after he has
a family OF helpless children, picks
a quarrel with his wife because
matters do not go to the liking Of
his lordship; or he is seized with a
whim to get rid OF what he cons'd>

Is allayed.' The patient for whom it
was intended was the head of the fam

tack Of nervous neuralgia.
''Now, it SO happened that the fam

BILLIARD CUES.
How They Are Made-America Fur
nishes the Best.

How They Are Made-Amertca Fur
nishes the Best.
"Most billiard cues" said New York
manufacturer the other day, "are made
in two pieces-the cue proper and the
handle. The cue is made generally Of
maple, and the butt, which is wedge
shaped, is inserted into handle Of
rosewood, snakewood. ebony, mahog
any, walnut or some other fancy dark
wood, which is cut to dovetail with the
long part.
'"The maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles ara
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape Of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocxs. The handle block Is turned
to the shape of the handle in lathe,
and when the butt has been fitted it Is
snished and polished.
"The finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means Of a
double wedge. At the top of the cue Is
ferrule of ivory. of horn or bone, in
which the leather tip is fitted. While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive,
Of course It Is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules. which are less
liable to crack. The extra workman:
ship on cues Is put in ON the butts,
some of which are deliberately inlaid
and carved in beautiful patterns.
"There are number of billiard play
ers who will not permit another person
to use their cues. and for the use of
these particular players cues are turn
ed out from which the tips may be un.
screwed. leaving the cue with unfinish-
ed points and useless.
american billiard cues are the light
est. strongest and neatest made any
where in tn" world. They are made
in all weights and lengths and rank in

Later, when he removed to the arid
plains of western Nebraska, he out
lined the plan for the redemption of
the vast stretches of arid land by

hoped to dispel the dreariness and
gloom of prison life and make peni-
Tertiary labor useful to the commune

While governor of Nebraska, Mr..
DIETRICH stretched the law in regard
to pardons and paroles. Every con-
Wet who could possibly be freed un-
der the parole law was released. Aged
convicts who were the victims of cir
cumstances were pardoned. This
course was severely criticised, but the
governor insisted that he was actual
ed by humane motives. Soon after his
election to the senate, he formulated
his plan for convict reclamation of
arid lands and Immediately sought the
support of his colleagues.

ENGLAND'S FIRST SHIP.

Great Harry Was the COuntry's Pro-
micr Fighting Machine.
OF the first ship. properly speaking.
Of the British navy, known as the
Great Harry, the following particu-
lars are given In an old number of the
Mechanics Magazine, dated Oct. %,
1923:
The Great Harry was built by King
Henry VII at a cost Of 1000, and
was burned at Woolwich, through acct
dent, in 1853.
Though King Henry, as we'll as
other princes. hired many ships, ex-
elusive of those which the different
seaports were obliged to furnish, he
seems thus to have been the first king
who thought of avoiding this incon-
venience by raising such a force as
might be at all times sufficient for the
service of the state. Historians tell us
that he caused his navy, which had
been neglected in the preceding reign.
to be put in condition to protect the
British coasts against all foreign inva-
sions, and that in the midst of pro-
found peace he always kept up a fleet
ready to act.
In August. 1912, the Regent, ship
of 1000 tons, which was at that time
the largest vessel in the British navy,
was burned, and to replace it the
Great Harry, or, as it was also known,
the Henry Grace de Dieu, was built in
1916.
The vessel, of about 1000 tons bur-
den, was manned by $40 soldiers, 301
marines and SO gunners. She had four
masts and portfolios on both decks and
in other parts.
Before the time of her construction
the cannon We're placed above deck
and on the Prov and poop. One De-
charges, a French builder at Brest, is
said to have invented portfolios.
In list Of the British navy, as it
stood on Jan. 5, 1913, the Great Harry
is said to have carried 10 brass and 1O3
iron pieces Of ordnance.
The name of the ship is supposed to
have been changed in the reign Of Ed.
ward vi to Edward, which, on Aug.
Is, 1862, was reported to be still "in
good case to serve" and was ordered
ito be grounded and calked OIL, a
year to keep it tight" Maya

The odium the republican par

The odium the republican party is
bringing upon itself is recognized by
some of the more prominent leaders
of that party and some of them do not
hesitate to suggest that it may be
necessary to elect democratic presi-
dent to maintain the government.
Tom Johnson, the mayor of Cleveland,
Ohio, is more talked of as a presiden-
tial candidate than is Mckinley, now
adays. johnson is in favor of corpo-
rations paying thir just share Of the
taxes by being assessed right and the
rank and file is with him, be they
democratic or republican. He has
not only supported the national demo-
cratic ticket, but is a radical silver
man and the wrath to come will find
him the Johnny on the spot. The cor
porations are all republicans, and do
not propose to permit any independ-
ence of thought or action IN their can
didate, and no one can enjoy their
smiles unless they abandon consci
ence and conviction and obey every
command without question. Mr.. John
son is not this kind of a man and will
be whirlwind if he gets a presiden-
tial nomination from the democrats.
