ergy. as people say. There is in his
serious attitude and look the stamp
as it were, of his profoundly relig-
ious sentiments. You know that he

secretary must have dropped a remark
or an opinion, that did not please the
master. One day | asked the secretary
to say to the. president on my behalf,
"A people like that of the Transvaal
which has shown such civic virtues
cannot die President Kruger replied
No, it cannot die. A great nation, on
the contrary. will spring from it's I'M

repeat, has at no moment seemed
discouraged. In truth he is ignorant
of the latest events in the Transvaal
and the real conditions of peace He
knows that the Beers have laid down
their arms, and that is all. To those
around him the English news-the
only news given to Europe-appears
to require confirmation and they are
waiting"

London Writer Describes Yerkes

Charles T. Yerkes is credited with
saying that men are in their appren-
tlcesh1p until they reach the age of
~ and that business man is NOT
llpe until he is ten years older than
that. The London writer who quotes
him thus draws this brief pen picture
OF the former Chicago traction mag
nate: "Pallid, dark-eyed, soft-voiced,
with white hair and mustache and an
air of subdued refinement, the railway
autocrat might be taken for quiet
scholar rather than a graduate of
the most strenuous rough-and-tumble
school of fighting in the world"

FRIENDS TO LIFT HER BURDEN
Calamity James Sorrows Touch the
Hearts of Old Associates.

There is a movement on foot for
collecting money to be used as a char
ity fund for Calamity Jane, who is
now in the country that lies around
Yellowstone park, says the Butte In
ter-Mountain.
"a move was recently started over
our way to have Jane removed to the
man, land she fatty refused to go. l
do not blame her in the least for
doing SO and l am in favor of collect
ing enough money to make Jane COM
Portable in her old age.
Think of the many kindly acts she
has done for others when she had
means. Why, it is a shame to even
allow the necessity for such a sug-
gestiOn as sending her to a poorhouse.
Calamity Jane is a pioneer. In the
early days she was one of the best
known characters in the west No
one came in contact with her who did
not feel the benefit of her kindly acts
and encouragement. Just now she is
over in the Yellowstone country try
ing to sell her unique book to tourists.
But the successful day of Calamity
Jane is past. Her books no longer
sell well. Time was when tourists
considered it an honor to buy James
books and it was considered a lack
of progressiveness to make a trip west
and not purchase one of these UNIQUE
souVenirs.

tages. The movement of the society
seeking millionaires to Washington is
quite as interesting a sign of the times
New York. Indeed, when a millionaire
has sold his stocks, bought bonds with
the money and has no duty more IA
t1gulpE than that of scissoring cou-
pons, he naturally goes to Washington
as the next phase in his social met
empsychosis. The reason is plain,
Washington has a society in which
breeding and brains play a part, and
society of that kind is distinctly SUI
perior to one like that of New York,
where money is the criterion of social
position.
1t has somehow come to be fash
ion for milliOnaires to have homes in
New York. A palace built there is
conspicuous and gets its owner talked
about 1t Is convenient eyrie from
which to descend upon Wall street.
Furthermore, it is to be supposed that
mlllionaires find one another's society
especially congenial, since it must be
conducive to ennui for any of them
to be surrounded only by men who
think and talk of little sums instead
Oh big, round, mouth-filling millions

Now all is different. The old-tim.
ers, many of them, have died, and the
younger generation coming I'D is TOO
busy to pay heed to this woman who
helped blaze the way of the pioneer.
She now has no way of making a live
ihood and it is up to the charitabIy
inclined to see that she does not die

St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1902-04-26

drydock at Mare island is exclusively
for American warships.
Thus it will be seen that while our
increased Asiatic commerce has neces-
STATED greater docking facilities, and
larger vessels, that growth demands
also larger warships to protect that
commerce, and a larger dock for those
war vessels.
The dock now in use at Mare island
navy yard is 500 feet long, and was
built Is y ears ago, at a lost of about
Sc, 100000.
The one at Newport News is the
largest dock in the world-being 1927
feet long, 162 feet wide at the top and
ITO feet at the bottom, with a depth
of 80 feet. As is well known, the late
c. p. Huntington begun its construc-
ton, foreseeing the need for increased
facilities, and to prevent the neces-
sity of longer sending our larger bat
tleships to Halifax. In this connec-
ton it may be mentioned that the two
ships now being quilt at Croton, Conn,
(for the Asiatic trade) the largest in
the world, can only find dockage ac-
commodation in these large docks. 1t
is likely, however, that one of the
docks in the northwest will be length
ened with this view
The Pacific coast is destined to be-
come more important central point
of maritime operations at no distant
day. The change that has recently
taken pla ce IN Japan has considerable
influence In the Asiatic problem, as
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1902-04-26

mated that the dock can be pumped dry
in an hour and 20 minutes. There is
40 feet depth of water at the entrance
to the dock, sufficient to float in the
deepest draft vessel. The dock will
cost about 100000, and will be fin
ished within six months. Three hun
dred men are employed.
The government drydock, being
built at Mare Island navy yard, is of
the same dimensions, and it is esti-
mated that it will cost $1,s00,00o The
reason for the greater cost is that it
has an earth foundation, or rather that
piling is driven so fee. in the mud, upon
which to lay foundation, and a great
deal of dredging will be necessary; also
a greater quantity of cement must be
used. The entire structure will be Of
cement, mixed with quarried stone.
The depth of water is ample, and when
finished it will be one of the best naval
drydocks in the world. 1t will be COM
pleted in about two years. In the
meantime, government war vessels of
the larger size will necessarily be
docked at Hunters Point (when that
dock is finished. Foreign warships Wis
iting this port will also necessarily be
repaired at Hunters Point, as the
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1902-04-26

man can expect to run the gauntlet
