THE oREGoN's ENGINEER.
wiley Milhgnn Overlooked IN the
Praise shOwered on h Great
| WarshiD's Captain

Having talked themselves nearly
to a standstill about the achievement
of Capt. Clark in bringing the bat
tleship Oregon through the Straits
of Magellan (not around the
Horn, as it was published countless
times), and putting her into action
at the battle of Santiago, the emo
tionalists for the first time should
pause to consider by what means the
gallant captain was enabled to ac-
complish that wonderful feat. A be-
lief is growing in the navy that her
engines brought the Oregon around.
Who controlled the engines, kept
them going, prevented journals from
getting hot, governed their speed,
and made sure that they did not suf-
fer the usual breakdown? I guess
that genius was Robert Wiley Mill
gan, says q writer in the New York
Press.
Did you . hear Of Milligan,
chief engineer of the Oregon on that
most famous of all voyages since
Jason sought the Golden Fleece? 7
trow not. Like. Brer Rabbit, he
seems to have lain low. All honor to
Clark, but there are q thousand OIL
GERS in the navy who could have
commanded" such a ship on such a
voyage. I doubt, however, if there
lives an engineer in the service who
could have equaled Milligan's work
in Me en~gine-room. But Milligan re-
mains a chief engineer, with the
rank of commander, and is now on
shore duty in the Norfolk navy yard,
nnappreciated, unhonored and un-
sung. What in Heavens name would
a battleship be without her engines?
"a derelict. What sent the Oregon
after the Spaniards, with a "bone in
her teeth?" Her engines, under Mil
ligan, the perfection Of mechanism.
Is there no reward for the engine

UNCLE SAM THEIR BANKER.
Government 100000 II
Their Savlngv,

The American soldier IL coming tc
be a thrifty person, who saves his
money and Uses the government OF
the United States as a depository
A long time ago, when rates for
money ranged from five to six pei
cent, a law was passed by congress
authorizing the war department to
take deposits from soldiers and pay
interest on them at the rate of four
per cent.
OF course, at the time that was a
low rate of interest, but in these
days of two and three per cent. from
the savings banks it is a very high
rate. For a few years after the law
was passed the savings fund amount
ed to almost nothing. Then the sol
diers realized that this was an excep.
tionally good way of saving, and
many of them started accounts with
the government, says a Washington
report.
A few years ago a soldier received
an honorable discharge and drew $1O,-
600 from his savings and interest,
and another soldier, who had re.
ceived and deposited a cash inheri-
lance during his term Of enlistment,
drew 100000. But these were excep-
tional ase However, during the
last fiscal year the soldiers of the
government deposited with the wal
department upward of $4,000, 900, and
that money is o drawing four per
cent. interest.
At the time that this law was
passed there were many assertions
from the army, and it was provided
that if a soldier deserted he should
lose all the savings he had on &C.
count. Hence when an enlisted man
gets an amount of money on de-
post with the government he be-
comes a better soldier and never de-
serts.
His Independence and interest in
his work increase in proportion with
his savings account, and the govern.
ment is thus well repaid for the
rather high rate of interest that ii
allows upon soldier deposits.

FOR HANDsALL CHAMPIONSHIP.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Devotees
of the game of handball will turn
their eyes toward Jersey City where a
series of matches will begin that will
determine the national championship.
The contestants are Mike Eagan, the
worlds champion, and Louis Keegan
of Chicago, who claims the western
championship. The contest is for 5000
a side besides the championship title,
and the articles of agreement call for
seven games on the Jersey courts and
eight games TO be played in Chicago.
Egan has been playing in excellent
form all through the season and was
never in better form than at the pres
ent time. Very little regarding Kee-
gan's ability has been heard in the
east of late. but those who have seen
him in practice since his arrival in
Jersey City assert that he is in prime
shape for the contest. and that Egan
will find him a dangerous opponent.
