''The gauge lnuIcates apout seven ounces Fahrenheit"
 And the thermometer" roared the high admiral.
 "The bosen neglected to wind it last night. sir
 The high admiral stood forward.
 Somebody get a clothes pole or something and pole the tub around" he howled. ''We must get this gun to bear"
 Pardon me" said the commodore, ''but in my opinion the recoil of the piece is much more dangerous than the load Better let us all take to the rigging and then fire it in it's present position"
 Before the high admiral could reply a sudden interruption occurred. The cook, hearing the confused sound of footsteps on the deck above, came up to see what it was all about. In his hand he bore large tin coffee pot filled with the boiling liquid, which he had hastily snatched from the galley stove. As he stepped on deck we'll directed musket shot from the enemy's tugboat struck the coffee pot amid ships and sent the scalding liquid in a dense shower over the bare feet of the three officials. Instantly the deck of the craft was covered with steam, and yells, and wildly dancing forms, and fierce imprecations, and maudlin shrieks, and the agile batter of agon- ized feet.
 And under cover of the confusion, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the jubilant enemy stole noiselessly away, and so ended the first great naval en- gagement of the present South Ameri- can civil war.

Frederlck,s sword.

In connection with Prince Henry's American visit there has been re- peated allusion to a sword which Frederick the Great is supposed to have sent to Washington, with the inscription in French, Prom the old est to the greatest living command er." But the story is based on a myth and misconception. In the lives of Frederick there is no reference to such a sword of honor; but, on the other hand, there is better ground for believing that Frederick sent Washington his portrait, inscribed: "Le plus vieux Roi de IEurope au plus grand Capitaine du Siecle.' What, however, is beyond all doubt is that Frederick the Great-more, perhaps, out of hatred to the Eng fish than love of their transatlantic colonists-was the first European sovereign to recognize the independ- ence of the United States To this historical fact Bismarck made re peated reference in his speeches, and more especially at the banquet given by the historian, Bancroft, American minister in Berlin, in honor of Gen. Grants assumption of presidential power.-London Chronicle.

A BATTLE WITH BURGLARS.
Pistol Fight Between Two Police men and Five BurgIars-One of
 the Latter was Killed.

Chicago, April 29.--In a pistol fight between two policemen and five burg lars here early Monday morning one of the alleged thieves was killed. Pc liceman O'Connor saw two men, one of whom he recognized as a thief standing in front of a store on Ar. cher avenue at Loomis. When he ap preached the men opened fire. fleeing pledged to the manufacturers that he scales will be indorsed.
 One reason for the advance signing of the scales is that it removes possi- 1ility of the strife between the union md the manufacturers for at least another year.
 The imminence of another quarrel between the two foremost giants of labor, Shaffer and Gompers, the first .ntimation of which was published Saturday, continued to be the topic of conversation among Amalgamated and other labor. men Sunday. More startling developments are expected this week, and it is possible that the matter may assume proportions that will make it the sensation of the con vention. and overshadow the regular business transactions of the organi- zation. That Gompers will come here this week is now thought to be cer- tain An answer to telegram of in- quiry was received stating that he had left the city, and that it was thought he had gone to New York. National Organizer Thomas Flynn, who was here all day Friday and un- til two o'clock Saturday afternoon was expected to return Monday. It is understood that he will urge the necessity of Gompers coming, if the latter has not already arrived be fore he gets back.
 In the meantime, local federations of labor leaders and the anti-Shatfer faction are rallying around the Com pers standard. If Gompers demands personal hearing before the Anal, gamation it probably will be the most exciting incident in the history of the organization.
 President Shaffer's adherents are not mincing words ia their denuncia- ton of Hymns coming and Gompers action in sending him here. They say Gompers had no right to take un- official newspaper reports of Shaffer's address, and that Flynn is impruden' in thinking he could get hearing.

WEALTH IS A BLESSING.

WEALIF n D A 6LE0oI M
 The best citizen is he that does his duty under all circumstances. Wealth nor poY erty do not produce good or great men. Money is necessary adjunct of civiliza- tion and advancement. Tn the hands of brainy, broad minded peopleit produces grand results-it gives employment to brawn and brain encourages and aids men to master the clements and makes man master of both land and sea. Wealth is blessing in the hands of a manly, strong man; it does not handicap him either in this or in the celestial world; it gives him the opportunity and the power to do good in this world. The miserly, sordid man may gather money. but it will not give him wealth. He is incapable of enjoying the luxury of wealth; his mind and soul can Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man; love Of gain for itself alone is the motive power which actuates this creature and he cannot realize the nobility and grandeur of noble life.
 Wealth, rightly used, is the parent of prosperity, contentment and happiness. The land where each and every family owned and possessed a homestead would be paradise on earth. That community would never realize the sting of poverty It's people would cling together and work in unison; the tax dodger would find that community uncongenial; the kicker and the penurious fellow would soon be made to realize that if they wished to have the esteem of their fellow men they must aidin upbuilding their community; the newspa- ries, etc., would add knowledge, purity and wealth to this people. Poverty and strikes would be unknown. The people would soon learn that what added to the material wealth of one family added also to the worth of the community.
 Wealth gained honestly and judiciously used is blessing to individual and state. All advancement, education, comfort and luxury cost money. The charities of our land require the expenditure of millions. The world needs and demands money to even exist. But money will not make a mean, contemptible fellow a strong, manly man. Neither will the possession otwealth cause man to die the death of Dives. Grim poverty, with it's accompanying misery, gives no one a chattel mortgage on seat with Abraham and the prophets.

A COLOMBIAN NAVAL BATTLE
Thrilling Account of a Fierce Sea Fight Between COntentiing South
 American Republics.

It was clear morning and the dane ing nipples caught the sunbeams and scattered them and buried them in lit tie lines of swishing foam and caught them again and passed them along in an endless dance. The aFmored Colom- bian towboat lay at anchor just off shore. 1t was washday aboard and tiny thread of smoke arose from the pipe that projected from the window ef the cooks galley. Two able-bodied seamen who composed the crew leaned on the rail abaft and pulled lazily at their pipes. The high admiral of the fleet was asleep at the wheel and the commodore was playing Spanish penu- chle with the rear admiral on a candle box just for-ard of the skylight.
 Some 50 fathoms distant lay the tow boats consort, a converted yawl with sheet-iron protectors, the heavy two- inch fowling piece glittering on it's car riage amisships. The crew, which con- sisted of the captain and the executive officer, were engaged in making their toilets, the executive officer being at the time deeply engrossed in the task of cutting the captains hair
 Suddenly the commodore happened to look lazily to the windward.
 'What's that?" he asked in excellent Spanish-American
 The rear admiral followed his glance.
 ''It looks like the insurgent enemy" he said, as he put his monocle in his eye.
 At that moment the craft that drew their attention ran up a red napkin with a yellow fringe and fired a 22- caliber revolver to leeward. She was a condemned tugboat of an early type and carried two muzzle-loading muskets and a heavy head of steam.
 Before the white puff of smoke that followed the discharge of the revolver had been borne away by the light breeze, all was activity on the armored towboat.
 The high admiral awoke and as- stunned command. The commodore started fire under the boiler, while the rear admiral gummed a leather patch over threatening leak beneath the safety valve. In the meantime the crew pulled up the anchor and hung it on a nail on the pilot house, and the high admiral went below to dress. At the same time the converted yawl came round and stood off, the captain pulling manfully at the oars, while the executive officer sculled in the stern for dear life.
 Are they deserting us?' roared the rear admiral as he came on deck.
 "No, said the commodore who was close behind him, they are merely looping the loop"
 At this moment the high admiral ap- peared in full uniform, blaze of gold lace and buttons from his cooked hat to the hem of his loose trousers-be- meath which his large brown feet spread out their generous proportions.
 "What steam are we carrying" he shouted.
 The commodore touched his cooked hat.
 The usual brand, sir,o he replied.
