SHERMAN'S WAR RELICS.
General Are Given to the
National Museum.

After many years of waiting the Hall
of American History of the National
Museum has just come into possession
of the w. 7. Sherman war collection.
Nearly all of the other generals of the
civil war were represented in some way,
and scarcely day passed that tourists
did not ask for some memenlo of the
great general.
After the death of the brother, John
Sherman. and the ultimate scattered
condition of his effects, Miss Lizzie and
p. T. Sherman. of New York; son and
daughter of the general, concluded to
give the valuable relics into the keep
ing the National museum. Starting
with Sherman's diploma from West
Point, the commissions as second lieu.
tenant and all the way to that of full
general major general, brigadier gen
eral secretary of war, and regent Of
the Smithsonian institution, permits
one'to follow his full course with gre..t
regularity.
Again the story of Sherman's prcg-
ress is told in his uniforms, the first
being his coat, hat and sash, the uni
form of the third artillery, United
States army. Among the swords is one
the general carried at the battle of
Shiloh, and more ornamental one
having gold hilt studded with dia-
monds. The watch that served him on
his famous march to the sea awakens
great interest.
In fact, the collection is the most
complete of that of any officer of the
civil war, Gen. Grant not excepted, in
asmuch as the Grant collection is more
that gained on his foreign tour than of
his war exploits in this country.

QUEEN WILHELMINA's Joke.

wilhelmina's Romance Follows
That of Queen Victoria.
Both Married German Princes Three
Years After Ascending the
Throne, and both Were
Genuine Love Matches.

A dispatch to the New York Trib.
une from The Hague commenting on
the coincidence of the crossing OF
the careers of the late queen of Eng
land and of Queen Wilhelmina of the
Netherlands, says: Like Victoria,
Wilhelmina, after ascending the
throne, has waited three years, and
has married a German prince. I'm
less all signs fail, this is also gen.
uine love match. and the wedding
came within three days of the sixty.
first anniversary of the marriage OF
Victoria in the chapel royal at st
James. There have been the same

uralization status and annuities to.

less there will be similar heartburn-
ings and annoyances over points OF
precedence and etiquette.
Duke Hendrix of Mecklenburg.
Schwerin is German prince, and
the queens Dutch subjects are in
tensely jealous of their independence,
and in dread of the absorption of theii
dykes and canals by Germany. They
have shown evidences of suspicion
and prejudice, and have not liked his
staggering, military manners. The
Dutch are thrifty and democratic,
and they have not been favorably
impressed with the prince, who is an
enthusiastic sportsman. He has also
been compelled to put up with legis-
lative interference in his affairs since
his betrothal and has been subject
ed to much annoyance. Since the
marriage bans were proclaimed, and
the marriage now consummated, there
has been better feeling toward the
bridegroom.

WHAT is A THEATER TICKET7
Was Compelled to Pass
Upon.

Little attention has been paid to
case recently decided at Washington
that involved the rights of theater
manager and patron, says the Dramatic
Mirror. a negro bought seat on the
lower floor of a Washington theater
and attended performance. During
the evening the manager requested the
negro to relinquish his place and leave
the theater, offering him the money
that had been paid for the ticket,
This was refused and the negro was
elected A suit for damages resulted
The plaintiff in this case did not take
action under the civil rights law, and
ony set forth his alleged rights as
citizen to occupy place in theater
upon payment of the usual fee. The
defense took the ground that ticket
for reserved seat is merely license
revokable at the will of the manager
in whose theater it is sold upon a re-
turn Of its price.
This contention, which is generally
held by managers and in many cases
put into words on the tickets sold, did
not stand in court, where it was declared
that ticket-holder of reserved seat
in theater has rights similar to those
of lessee for a specified term, sub.
ject only to the managers police pow
er to enforce order and maintain de.
cency on his premises. Going further
than this, the trial court cited an opin.
ion that prevails in the United States
supreme court to the effect that a
manager of a pace of amusement to
which the public is invited to come
on payment for places is not private
enterprise owing no duty to its patrons,
but place clothed with public in
terest because used in a manner to
make it of public consequence and to
affect the community at large" This
disposes effectively of the idea that
has come to prevail among certain
managers that the operation of a the
ater is private business"

immensely long, of the victims along

The list includes cats, foxes, dogs, hun

CALL THEM uNLUcKY Ships.
The otter Useiessness OF Arguing
with seanien Against Nautical
SuperstiIions.

"Unlucky ships" in our navy have a
most unpleasant way of acting up to
their regulations. Any blueiacket
will tell you that the most unlucky
ship in the navy is the Thunderer-
he is firmly convinced that in the
event of war she will come to grief.
The origin of this ships reputation
is not exactly known, though a story
exists to the effect that workman
was injured or killed during her con-
struction. and his dependents scurvily
treated by the admiralty of the pc
riod. His wife, dying in childbirth
shortly afterward, cursed the ship.
So goes the legend; possibly enough,
like many another legend, it was
made later on to fit events. No doubt
whatever attaches TO the Thunderer's
i'll luck--a fearful boiler explosion
and terrible gun disaster marked
her earlier years. Minor disasters
have been many; most things that
could go wrong with her did so, and,
though it was recently stated that
she had outlived her bad luck, almost
Immediately afterward all her guns
went wrong-a matter under inquiry
at the present moment She is being
put out of commission and replaced by
the Hood. and it is extremely doubtful
whether she will be employed again
save as harbor ship-men do not
like her.
Another unlucky ship is the Howe,
says the London Chronicle. She went
ashore and sank at Ferrol. Subse-
quently she was raised and refloated,
but her bad ,uck" clings to her; she
is the worst ship of her batch to man
age. BY blueiacliet superstition she
is doomed to sink some consort or be
sunk by her, one of these days.
Then there was the ill-fated Vic
without foundation) about man who
was accidentally fastened down to her
to die, used to be related in the early
'90s. She met with disasters. culmin-
ating in the terrible catastrophe that
bears her name. The saddest of all
incidents in connection with this
catastrophe has never been made pub
lIN' w Htll lHc OIutI WAS given LOT
each man to jump, batch of marines
We're not ordered to fall out. All or
nearly all of those men were drowned
standing at attention. However, this
incident does not concern the luck of
ships.
The list of unlucky ships could be
extended considerably. but the above
typical cases will suffice. In face of
them it is absolutely useless to argue
against nautical superstitions. The
"bad luck" of course, varies; in the
majority of cases it is confined to
breakdowns. and so forth. but what
ever it be. once the ''unlucky" reputa-
tion attaches to ship it will last
till she ends her career. And since
the new royal yacht has thus got
labeled, nothing that may be sad or
left unsaid will clear her. As she has
cost over 6 100000 something must be
done with her. One speculation is
that royalty will decline to use her,
and that she will be handed over to
the lords of the admiralty in place of
the Enchantress, the anything but sea-
worthy craft that now carries them
around
