THE JERSEY PRISON SHIP.
Bones Of the Craft Found in Brooklyn
Navy Yard.

FROM the New 1erk Suh
The report of the discovery of the tim
bers of the notorious Jersey prison ship OF
revolutionary times under the made land In
the Brooklyn navy yard is probably capable
of verification, fnasmuch as the earliest
map of the yard, executed in 1903, showed
where she was known to lie; and it may be
assumed that the timbers are indeed hers.
Whether they will be removed and placed
in the naval museum is said to be doubt
full as their extraction from the soil where
they have been for nearly 100 years will
delay the preparations for building the new
man-of-war Connecticut; but we hardly
think that the delay of a few days can
stand in the way Of recovering relics of
such interest
There were six prison ships in New York
harbor during the revolution, of which the
Jersey was the most notorious. Built in the
first third of the eighteenth century, GO
un~shp of the line. she had sailed the seas
for thirty years and taken part in many
battles. Finally she was condemned while
in American waters, and after lying unused
for years was made a receiving vessel for
American prisoners of war.
The Jersey was the worst of the six ships
Her hold leaked constantly, and the damp
ness added to the misery of the underfed
ill-clad, often sick and wounded Americans
confined aboard her. Her crew. at her best
estate had been composed of less than 400
officers ana men, crowded together as ship
crews were crowded in those days: but
1909 prisoners were kept on board of her
constantly. .'She was never cleansed and
lay in that condition seven years. No firas
warmed her occupants in winter, no screen
sheltered them from the August sun; no
physician visited the sick, no clergyman
consoied the dying there. She remained
throughout the contest center of sickness
and death, always impregnated with dis
ease and always replenished with new VIC
Tins. The bones of her dead, estimated at
IL 900, lie buried on the Brooklyn shore

The other republican judge who is can
ddate for reelection is George Durell of
the fourth district Louisville and Jeffer-
son county make both the fifth congress
sional and fourth appellate districts. Du-
relrs opponent is Judge Henry S. Barker
of the criminal division of the Jefferson
county circuit court He is not considered
a lawyer of distinguished ability, while
Durell has made fine record on the
bench Barker is further handicapped by
being regarded as the personal candidate
of Aaron Kohn, the local democratic boss,
who enjoys a monopoly of the criminal
practice at the Louisville bar. Kohn Is
also looked upon as the friend and protector
of the pool rooms and other gambling
houses. Though there has been almost con-
slant anti-gambling agitation since Barker
has been the criminal judge, nothing has
been accomplished There has been gen.
eral laxity in the punishment of criminals.
Barker is the weakest part OF the demo-
cratic ticket while Durell is the strongest
part of the republican ticket. 1t Is not i'm
probable that the republicans may elect
Durell and lose the representative.
Not for ten years when the party has
been united, has the district failed to go
republican. Only once in that time has 1t
gone democratic in a congressional cleo
ton. Bradley, in '95: Taylor in 80. and
Yerkes in 1900, carried it for governor. and
Mckinley carried it by 1900 in SO and
5000 in 1900 But despite these republican
victories In state ana udllOildl dldlTS lHe
republicans have lost through division,
when local offices have been of first import
ance
With two members of the circuit court, in
addition to the judge of the court Of ap-
peals the judicial races undoubtedly over
shadow the race for representative. and
this. according to recent precedent gives
the democrats the advantage However,
there seems to be less division among the
republicans than is usual when local Of
ficers are at stake, and the republican
ticket in the personnel of the candidates,
compares with the democrats more favor

in the educated class, how many of
these voters exercise their suffrage
with any thought or actual con
Germ, as to who or what the men
may be, whom they vote for?
A man votes the democratic
ticket, or the republican ticket,
yet does he personally know of the
character of one half of the men
named on the ticket he votes?
The fact is that the welfare of
the State and Nation does not hang
near so much upon how the illite-
rate vote is to be cast, as il does
upon how the thouyhtless vote is
going, whether the educated voter
uses his mind and will, and so
puts into effective use his own in
dividuality, when he casts his
ballot Tor men whom he knows
can be trusted with the manage
ment OF his and his neighbours
affairs.
If the illilerate voter is a menace
to the government, certainly the
thoughtless voter is not less so.
Either may cast a vote which
shall put into office men who
should not be entrusted with public
affairs.

The ThoughJless Voter.

Charles L. Stevens, of the New

And indeed this is another and a
serious problem. The Journal
says:
The returns show that there are
100000 voters in this country,

That is, about eleven per cent
of the voters, are illiterate, vet eX

Christian Science and Contagious
Diseases.

How can the Christian Scientists
abandon the treatment OF conta-
gious diseases without pulling the
cornerstone out of their system of
religious philosophy? If it can
not heal smallpox the whole theory
on which it is built falls to the
ground. If disease is not real, but
only sinful appearance, is not a
loathsome disease peculiarly SIN
ful manifestation? Mrs Eddy has
testified that by Christian Science
methods she has cured cancer even
in its last stages, when the medi
cal art had pronounced it incura
bic; vet she halts at contagious dis
eases Of which the percentage Of
cures even by that secular art is
large. IF any disease battles Chris
tan Science Mrs. Eddy must throw
up her whole case Her disciples
deny that she is batlled by conta-
gious diseases, and say that she
only advises that Christian Science
"healers' shall let them alone, on
the ground of expediency-"untll
public thought becomes better ac-
quainted with Christian Scence.'
But why should she give such adj
vice if she is sincere in her belief
in Christian Science? If Christian
Science can cure is it not its re-
ligious duty to cure? Moreover,
the greater and the more general
the scepticism the more necessary
is the demonstration Of its ability
to cure.

DR.. Delafield left the archiepiscopal
residence shortly after the bulletin was
issued. He said that there was every
promise of the archbishop's recovery. DR..
Keyes said that the crisis would prob

1T might be said, however, he added.
that the archbishop made a turn for re-
covery today. Unless the congestion
should encroach on new tissue, his rocov-

Father Curley, Archbishop Corrigan's
private secretary, received a cablegram Of
sympathy from the Pope today. and tele-

ORPHANS VISIT
BIG MASONIC FAIR

| two immense baskets. laden with all those
things that go to gladden. the childish
| heart, were prepared and sent to them
when the circumstances were learned.
Well Treated.
The exceptional conduct of the children
was a constant source of comment. They
arrived early in the afternoon. and were
divided up into little squads. each under
the guidance Of some member Of the fair
committee. Director General Standiford
gave the little ones his personal atten-
tion and saw that they were well pro-
vided for. Everything was thrown open
to the little visitors. and on every hand
they found a welcome.
At each of the booths some article was
awaiting them. either candy. cake, toys,
or some other article, such as delights the
childish heart. The sideshows at the
fair were also a source of delight to the
children, who clapped their hands with
delight at the entertainments that were
provided for them.
The doors Of the halls remained open
without interruption from o'clock in the
afternoon until nearly midnight. There
was a constant stream Of visitors all of
this time, who spent their money freely.
Colonel Thomas a Visitor.
In the evening the members OF the exec
utive committee were agreeably surprised
by the presence of Col. Warren La Rue
Thomas, the retiring grand master of the
knights Templars of the United States.
Colonel Thomas is at present residing In
Pittsburg. but is native of Kentucky.
He was recognized as he entered the hall
by his many friends, and moment
later Haley's Band struck up the strains
of MY Old Kentucky Home" as a tribute.
He remained in the hall for some time.
There were several contests closed last
night and the results announced. The vot-
ing contest for the double scholarship at
the Spencerian Business college was won
by Signe n. Holther, who secured S24
votes out of a total of 2,526 that were cast.
The others in the contest were Reggie T.
Beckett, with $50 votes: Linwood Foy,
with 5o4; and Gertrude Eckstein with 56S.

II was to have been the last night of
the fair, but the phenomenal success of
the undertaking made an extension OF the

was the visit of the children from the
various orphan asylums of the city. st.
Johns, St Joseph's. the Washington City
Orphan Asylum, and the German Orphan
Asylum each had large delegations pres

voice. in a beautiful rendition of the
