Two Unplsassnt Naval Omcers Who 0oe
What They Deserved.

Two Unpleasant Naval O0cers Who 0oo
What They Deserved.
Captain ]. J. Hunker, commanding
the naval station at Newport, is long,
slab-sided and lanky, and his chest
looks caved in. You would have to
!ostle him for fear he would fall apart
IN a hundred pieces. He is the
strongest man in the navy, and can
whip his weight in wildcats. In a
wardroom mess with Hunker once was
one OF the worst DULLES who ever dis
graced the American navy. He was 6
feet tall, Hercules in build, and could
put a longboat on his back and pack
II ashore. For the first week that he
joined the ship he made it a hell for
everybody on her. On the seventh day.
when breakfast was over and he got
up to go out of the wardroom, Hunker
asked him to sit down again. He re-
Quested all the other officers of the
mess to go on deck and stay there till
ne sent for them. They could see in
MS eye what he intended to do, and
~ was a pity; he was thin as rail
ana stoop-shouldered-bent as If with
cough. But they went out and left
MN with the giant. Ten minutes later
bunker invited them in again. The
bully looked as if he had been through
meat chopper. He went to bed and
stayed there for three weeks. To this
Jay ne is an angel Of grace and cour-
+esy.
1t will not do to mention this Of
hcers name. but in the navy there is
commander who thought it part OF
MS duty to play the sneak act. When
the men were in their hammocks he
USED to creep in on them in stocking
rect to see If they were talking or
otherwise infringing orders after taps.
One night sailor reached up from
MS hammock and smashed in his face
with a hammock hook. The officers
OF the ship, sitting as court on the
sailor, acquitted him on his defense
that he thought the catlike intruder
was thief trying to rob him. Off,
GERS and men will have no sneak bus
mess in the navy.

The gathering of the wool is peculiar,

SEARCH FOR HISTORIC ARMS.

Illinois Men Will Try to Recover vain.
able Relics ut Fort Charters,
With the object of recovering a lot
OF brass cannon, old muskets and
ammunition said to be buried in the
ruins of old Fort Chartres, ten miles
west of Red Bud, ILL.,, and near the
banks of the Mississippi, a company
is being organized in that town. These
arms and their necessary ammunition
have lain in their hiding place 1877
years, or since 1865. AS weapons of
war they are, of course, worthless, but
as relics they will bring a large sum
If recovered. There are said to be six
teen brass cannons in the lot.
The story Of the burial of these
arms and ammunition has to do with
the early struggles between the French
and English for the possession of the
Mississippi territory. Fort Charities
was one of the French strongholds.
and had large garrison It surren-
dered to much weaker force of the
English in 1865 without having fired
a shot, the French commander believ-
ing that large army had invested
the place. Before surrendering, how
ever, he tumbled the cannon and other
arms down a we'll inside the fort and
then had the well filled in. AS there
were three other wells inside the fort
the English never suspected the trick
that had been played on them, al
though they were much surprised not
to find the fort richer in arms of de.
tense.
The fort is now a ruin, but it's out.
lines are we'll defined One of the
members of the company that is going
to recover the arms recently found in
a lot of old papers and manuscripts a
complete plan of the fort made in the
days of the French occupation. In
this the location of the wells is clear
ly set out, and with this to guide them
the searchers anticipate no difficulty
in recovering the weapons.

Ambassadors Have Sfnecures.

For several years the ambassadors
from European powers to the Holy See
have enjoyed sinecures. The Russian
and German ministers are seldom
there. They go to Rome to attend for
NAL ceremonies at which their pres
ence is required by the etiquette of the
Vatican. but return at once to their
homes as soon as these duties are per-
formed. The Spanish, Austrian and
Belgian ambassadors are the only ones
that regard their positions seriously.
and even they have nothing to do but
attend dinners and receptions given BY
the princes Of the "Black" party.

European Architecture in Japan.

European architecture is gradually
gaining foothold in Japan, and must
sooner or later dominate, just as Eu-
ropean styles Of dress are soon to dom
mate. in the big cities. In Toxic and
other large centers of population all
the new business-houses are built on
European plans. They are found to
be more practicable. The residences
are still OF the Japanese style. Some
of the larger and finer residences in
the cities are built like American
houses, but most stick to the old GUS
toms. The government does not own
it's buildings. but rents. them, and
these, without exception, are of Euro
pean design. The Europeans and
Americans never stop at the Japanese
hotels, because they cannot do with
out chairs. The hotels have nothing
but couches.

Baseball is probably over in Bruins
wick for the season, as no more games
are scheduled.
1t was learned yesterday that the
locals would not meet the Darien-Sa-

1t seems that the Savannah players
can not get off again within ten days
and Of course the club would not come
without them. This news will be re-
gretted by the local fans generally,
as much interest was being taken in
the game.
Brunswick was to play Waycross
three games before they dlsbanded for
