THERE is no fitting monument on the grave
of Salmon P. Chase in Cincinnati, o., only a
simple stone bearing an inscription of four
lines, and reciting that he was Senator, Gov
ernor, Secretary of the Treasury Chief Justice
of the United States" His daughter. who
idolized him, rests beside him. This is the
usual commentary upon monuments to our
great men. "How soon we are forgotten when
we are gone" is the refrain of the day. If any
man in the country deserves a monument he
is Salmon P. Chase. With all his ambitions.
some of which came to naught, he was still a
great American who did vast service to his
country in the hours of her direst peril.

he was elected largely because of his in

United States navy. You enter a gIo-
rlous service, proud Of It's memories of
renoWn. You must keep ever in your
minds the thought Of the supreme hour
which may come when what YOU do will
forever add to or detract from this re-
nown.
Some of you win have to do your
part in helping construct the ships and
the guns which you use.
You need to bend every energy tow
ard making these ships and guns in all
their details the most perfect Of their
kind throughout the world. The ship
must seawoTthy, the armament fitted
for the best protection TO guns and men,
the guns in all their mechanism for the
greatest possible execution IN the short
est possible time. Every detail, whether
of protection to the gun crews Of rapid
ity and sureness in handling the annu-
revolving gear, or of quickness and ac-
curacy in sighting, must be thought out
far in advance, and the thought care
fully executed in the actual work The
best ships and guns and the most costly
mechanism is utterly valueless if the
men are not trained to use them to the
utmost possible advantage. From now
on throughout your lives there can be
no slackness on your part. Your duty
must be present with you, waking and
sleeping. You have got to train your
selves and you have got to train those
under yOus in the actual work of sea-
manship, in the actual work of gun
merry. If the day for battle comes YOU
will need all that you possess of bold
ness, skill, determination, ability to bear
punishment, and instant readiness in an
emergency. But, though without these
qualities you can do nothing, vet even
with them you can do but little if you
have not had the forethought and set
purpose to train Yourselves and the en-
listed men under you Alright. Officers
and men alike must have the sea habit;
in battle the only shots that count are
the shots that hit, and that normally
the victory viii lie with the side whose
shots hit oftenest. Seamanship and
marksmanship-thes must be the two
prime objects of your training both for
yourselves and for the men under YOU"

Charles Wolff Thinks Eastern Markets
Will Not Be Affected.

''The only explanation of the stoppags
of cattle buying that occurs to me,
said Charles Wolff, the Topeka packer.
to a reporter for the State Journal to-
day, tis that the high price of meat
products has prevented the consump-
ton of meats in as large quantities as
before the high prices came into vogue
and the packers are not turning out SO
much meat on this account. However,
cannot state positively that this is the
case
In fact" he continued, Il have heard
nothing of the orders of the Denver
packers to their buyers to discontinue
the purchases of cattle This is news to
me. 1 am not of the opinion, however.
that these conditions will prevail at the
eastern packing centers. At least
have SO far not heard anything to that
effect.
THE condition Of the Denver market
is vastly different from that in this
section of the country" he continued.
Colorado is called a raising state.
The cattle in Colorado are all grass-fed
cattle There is only one big packing
hoase IN Denver All the fancy beef
that Colorado gets is shipped there The
cattle are sent from Colorado TO the
states of the corn belt, such as KAN
saS, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri.
where they are fattened and sent back
as dressed beef
Mr.. Wolff was asked regarding the
length of time the high prices of beef
would prevail
am confident the prices Will be
much lower within four to six weeks
he said BY that time the grass fed
cattle Will be put on the market and
the prices for this sort of cattle are
much lower than that for the corn fed
cattle.
1t is the high prices that are asked
for corn now that makes the high prices
of cattle" Mr.. Wolff declared. Corn IS
almost three times as high as it was a
few years ago and consequently it costs
almost three times as much to fatten
cattle on corn than it did at that tine

GORDON'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Motorman Shocked Into Unconscious
ness by Wire Over Trolley.

Motornan William L Gordon was
shocked into unconsciOusness and mar
rowly escaped death last night while on
his car in Oakland, on account of an
attempt to annoy or injure him made
by a crowd of rowdies in Oakland.
A long wire with rocks attached to
each end was thrown across the trolley
wire Gordon's car ran into it. To
prevent the wire from doing damage
and the stones from striking him Cor
don was forced to push the wire to
one side with his hand. In doing this
the 500 volts carried by the trolley wire
was sent through his body. He was un-
conscious for some time A special car
with physicians was sent to the scene
of the accident. The boys in Oakland
have tried several times to annoy and
injure street car employees, and Presi-
dent c. c. Baker last night offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction of the culprits
