best known Of Savannah's Confederate
veterans. AS secretary of the Savar-
nah Pilots Association. He was also we'll
known in Bnarine and shipping circles.
He was a native of st. Augustine, but
moved TO Savannah in 1855. He was
member of the Oglethorpe Light In
fantFy and went to Virginia with that
company at the beginning of the war.
He was wounded at the first battle
of Manassas. After serving a year in
Virginia he received a commission
from Secretary Mallory of the Confed-
crate navy as a lieutenant, and was
ordered to report to Commodore TAFT
nall at Savannah. He had served
here only a short time when Commo-
dore Tattnall was ordered to Virginia,
and Capt. Usina was authorized to
enter the blockade service.
Famed as Blockade Runner.
1t was as blockade run
ner that Captain Usina made
his name known along the en-
tire coast, and his exploits are often
recalled to-day by. his old comrades
The papers on this subject, read by
Capt Usina before the Confederate
Veterans Association and the Sons of
Veterans of Savannah, give better
idea probably of the conditions under
which blockade running was conducted
and the true character of the men
engaged therein than anything of a
similar character that has ever been
published. These articles read like
chapters Of romance, and yet those
who knew Capt. Usina know that
they are simply plain statements Of
fact
During his three years experience
as blockade runner, he made
tWenty-eight trips, running chiefly in
and between the Bermudas and Char
lesion and Wilmington. The blockade
service was conducted for the Con-
Tolerate government by the Crenshaw
brothers, whose headquarters were in
richmond, the government owning a
halt interest in the ships.
capt. Usina commanded at various
I'nes half a dozen or more OF the
SHIPS engaged in blockade running,
among this number being the Mary Ce-
este, the ATLANTA, afterwards the
cruiser Tallahassee; the Armstrong,

THE DRYDEN TROPHY

ordinary interest in this years rifle

by those in authority that the present
win be a record" year in all the prin-
cipal contests.
This impetus to proficiency in mark
manship is due directly and indirectly
to United States Senator John F. Dry
den of New Jersey, who, by his official
and personal acts, has furnished the
country two of the most valuable tro-
plies ever contested for on the rife
range. 1t was through Mr.. Dryden's
personal and persistent efforts that the
military committees of Congress last
year agreed to insert a clause in the
army appropriation bill, authorizing for
the first time "a national trophy, med
ais and other prizes to be provided for
and contested for annually - Z" by the
Army and the National Guard or or
ganized militia of the several states
| and territories. and of the District of
Columbia"
This national trophy, coupled with an
especially valuable and handsome one
which Mr.. Dryden, through whose in
| strumentality the other was secured,
has just presented, has naturally
aroused a spirit of the keenest interest
among those ambitious for honors with
the small arm. Although layman in
affairs military, Mr.. Dryden takes con-
siderable interest in rifle practice and
is fair shot himself. But his interest
lies deeper. Keenly alive to all that
affects the public welfare, he has de-

desire to encourage in every way pos

rifle shooting. To that end he has sup
J plemented the government trophy with
one of his own, which is not only the
most valuable intrinsically of any of
the several hitherto presented, but has

an additional incentive for keen compe-

is one of the most accomplished linz
gusts of the Senate. A Norwegian by
birth, he speaks that language perfect

German and, of course, English. He
has a very good understanding Of
French. Senator Nelson from the age
of ~ years was brought up in Mime

gave him splendid opportunity to ac-
quire their languages. and being at all
times studious he lost no chance to add

CROWDS WERE ORDERLY.

July 4 Was an Unusually Dull Day
with the Keepers of the Peace.
Strange to say the Glorious Fourth
was a very quiet day with the police.
Coming as it did on Saturday, which
is ordinarily heavy day with the uni
formed men. it was anticipated that
the number of arrests would be un-
usually large. and provision was made
accordingly.
From daybreak to midnight but four
arrests were made, all for minor Of

Egypt will soon be able TO cross the
Sahara Desert in a ur-miles-an-hour
automobile, specially constructed for
travelling over sandy wastes. The We
hicle is said to accommodate forty pas

absurdly slow, it is greater than that

IN CUBA.
Switching is Done with Oxen and
Third Class Passengers Can
Carry Chickens,

There is quite a difference between
Tailroading in the United States and
in Cuba and some of the things that
are said about the Cuban railroads are
hard to believe. |. A.. Barnes, who is
IN FL Paso, and who has spent quite
a little time in Cuba, in talking about
the difference, said;
THE Americans when they first go
to Cuba laugh at some of the practices
that are in vogue in that country and
particularly in the railway service.
For instance it sounds very funny to
an American to read in the passenger
tariff that a third class passenger has
a right to carry so many chickens as
luggage in the third class car,
1T is also hard for an American TO
believe that on some of the older
roads that the switch engines in use

on the line are a team of oxen, but |
have photographs showing such to be
the case. The new road, however,
now being built between Havana and
San Juan will be an u~p-to-date line and
many of the old customs will be done
away with.
There is n thing, however, in
which the Cuban railways are ahead
of those in the United States and that
is at the head end of each coach over
the door there Is an Indicator, which
is placed in plain sight of all the pas
sengers. This indicator carries all the
names of the stations along the line
as well as a dial showing the time of
day. Just before the train leaves the
station the brakeman comes in and
turns up the next station and also the
time of day at which the train is due
at that station and so on for each sta
ton along the line. This is very handy
for the passengers, for all they have
to do is to look at the indicator to see
what the next stop is and when their
respective stations show up on the in
dlcator they can get ready to get off.
This also takes a great deal of trouble
off the hands of the conductors as pas
engers do not nave to bother them
with questions regarding the next
stop"

LIKE MILEAGE BOOKS.
Their Use Is Said to Result in High
Revenues for the Railroads..

The annual report of the mileage bu-
of the Central Passenger associa-
ton just issued shows that during the
four years of it's operation the bureau
sold a total of 1000, 900 mileage books
Of the interchangeable type. This is
an average of 100000 a year, and if
the books were all used they represent
1000, 900, 900 miles of travel. These
figures show the immense popularity
of the interchangeable mileage book
system. The books sold represent an
original outlay of $50, 000, 900, but the
figures show hat the bureau paid in
rebates on unused portions of the
books a total of SIC. 900 900. Accord
ingly the revenue to the railroads from
the use of the mileage books for four
years was $40, 900 1000. In this connec.
ton attention is called to the fact that
travel on mileage books is but a very
small fraction of the total travel, and

book has led many general passenger
