BUILT SHIP IN THE WOODS.
Work Upon Which a Retired Sea
Captain Has Been Engaged
for Thirteen Years,

The Fourth of July will witness the
launching at Quaker Neck wharf,
Chester river, Kent county, of a Bay
vessel which Capt. Jedson, a retired
mariner, has been 13 years in building
and which stands in the woods mile
and half. Some years ago Capt. Jed
son arrived in Baltimore from deep
sea voyage. He decided to come ashore
and go to farming, settling in Kent
county. He is now II years old. He
has built the craft all by himself, with
the aid of an AK, reports the Baltimore
American.
In the eighties he went into the
woods near his home and began chop
ping out the keel and the timbers.
The keel was laid in 1881. Then he
stopped work, and the framework
was allowed to fall to pieces. In few
years the old love of the sea rekindIed
Capt. Jedson's enthusiasm, and he
started again to rebuild the vessel. He
has worked on the vessel for 13 contin
uous years, and now has a craft so feet
long and 11h feet beam. Her cabin
ceiling is nine feet high, with dining
room measuring eight by ten feet. The
vessel will be equipped with 25-horse
power engine and 4O-horse power
boiler.
Capt. Iedsen proposes to use horse
IN dragging the vessel mile and half

time that he has spent on the craft has

says New York Mail and Express
writer, Capt. -, of the United States
navy, told the following story about a
certain shallow-pated naval chaplain
who was looked upon with scant re-
spect by his brother officers. From
travelling salesman the man had turned
preacher, and, backed by influence,
came to Washington in Mr.. Cleveland's
time to get naval chaplaincy. When
he was introduced at the white house
Mr. Cleveland looked over him in his
grave, penetrating way and said:
''Mr. -, this is no case for favor
ltlsm; we want man of merit and
ability for this post.''
The applicant rejoined:
"Mr. President, if it is Gods will
that 1 go into the navy, neither you
nor any one else can keep me out"
The president eyed him for mo-
ment and then said dryly:
'Well, Mr.. - I'll do my part, any
way. Good-morning."
"The cream of the joke is" said the
narrator, shat the fellow-who really
did get into the navy later-told the
story himself with all seriousness, ad-
ding: And as 1 left the room l had a
strong conviction that it was not the
will of Providence that 1 should enter
the navy at that time"

TELEGRAPH POLE INDUSTRY.
Millions of Forest Trees Are Used to
support the Wires of the
Various Lines.

Between Chicago and Denver. a
distance of 1900 miles, along one line
of railway, there are 31,5OO telegraph
poles, says Arboriculture. They are
set 176 feet apart, or 80 to a mile. As
there are considerable more than q
100000 miles of steam railway in the
United States, increasing in mileage
each year, and many roads have double
lines of poles to accommodate the great
number of wires required to transact
the telegraphic business of the coun-
try, there are 100000 poles in use on
railway lines.
When to this is added the poles used
by trolley lines and by telegraph and
telephone companies we find an aggre-
gate of 15,OOO,OOO poles in use. If these
should be replaced at once it would re-
quire 250,000 fiat cars to transport
them; 5000 locomotives would be neces-
sary to haul the trains, which if con-
tinuous would reach 1850 miles. If the
poles were placed end to end they
would reach more than three times
around the earth at the equator.

that every word that is so spoken is

JOHN BROWNS BODY.
SepOses In a Grave Near Lake Placid
Among the Northern Adj
rOndacks.

Halfway between the Mohawk
river and the Canadian line, in Essex
county, N. Y, shut in by dozen
towering peaks of the Adirondacks
are the living place and sleeping
place of "Old John Brown" The
living place is the home from which
Brown went out to fight in Kansas,
and the sleeping place is the grave
beside a giant granite bowlder-the
grave in which they laid his body aft
er the execution at Charleston, in
1889 Thirty-seven years after his
death, when the horror of his anar-
chy had been forgotten, Kate Field
and a dozen friends bought the old
Brown farm, at North Elba, and
turned it over to the state as a pub
lie charge. 1t is near Lake Placid
and the other resorts of the northern
Adirondacks, says the Four-Track
News.
Frequently during the summer So
Journers in want of amusement go
over to the place and rest for a few
minutes in the low-roofed, two-story
house. Everyone knows the story of
John Browns repeated business fail
ures, his visions, in which a "voice"
told him to free the slaves, his part
in the slavery war in Kansas, and
the attack on the arsenal at Harper's
Ferry. All these things the world
has weighed, and it has given an hon
ored place to him who was arch an
archist only so years ago.

NEWS IN 1915 AND NOW.
The Battle of Waterloo Was Not
Heard OF TIL Six Weeks After
1t Was Fought.

Leopold de Rothschild, at dinner
of the Newspaper Press fund, drew an
interesting contrast between the meth
Dds used for transmitting news in 1915
and now. His own firm claims to have
been the first to announce the victory
of Waterloo in England, says Country
Life.
By the by, there is a tradition at
Somersby, where Tennyson was born
and lived, that they did not hear of
the battle of Waterloo there till six
weeks after it was fought.
Mr.. Leopold de Rothschild, however,
said that his grandfather, who was the
owner of some ships, gave his captains
direct orders that wherever they went
they were always to bring him the lat
est newspapers, and in this way there
came into his hands a Dutch paper
which contained the intelligence in one
line, Great victory of the English at
Amsterdam"
His grandfather took the news to
Lord Liverpool, but was secuted be-
cause the intelligence had arrived on
the previous day that the English
troops had been beaten.
If there is Waterloo fought in the
future, we wonder how the first intel
hgence will reach London. Will it be
by what we have come to regard as the
somewhat prosaic cablegram? Will it
be by telephone? Or shall we have 1t
in marconigram? Perhaps there may
be an invention before then that will
render all these obsolete,

At this very instant a tremendous
change came over Brown. He shook
himself loose from DR.. Emmett and

could answer heard Emmett say:
Yes yes; it's true. We forced him

grasp, and he fell back, fainting, upon
the seat. DR.. Emmett had snatched the
reins. He called to the policeman that
we were all right, turned the horse, and
