HONOR CLAIMED FOR TWO
Dispute as to Who Was Father Of the
American Navv.n

Those who claim for Commodore
John Barry the honor of having been
the father OF the American navy"
will have a controversy on their hands,
II they follow Archbishop Irelands
suggestion and attempt to have erect
ed as a memorial to that officer
statue In Washington. The statue, of
course, would be above criticism, for
Barry performed excellent service on
the sea In the revolution. But 1t
would be another matter to engrave
on the statue the claim that the Irish
sailor was the father of the American
navy. The people Of Rhode Island
claim the honor for Esek Hopkins,
who in 1775 was commissioned by the
continental congress as commodore
and "commander-in-chie of the
navy. He put to sea early In 1776
with the first squadron sent out under
an American flag, and with 1t he took
the British forts in the Bahama ISL
ands, and later captured prizes on the
high seas.
Finds Watch After Four Years.
A watch lOst Dy ltS owner Iour years
ago has been found in a field, where
IL had lain ever since. 1t was the
property of Mr.. T. Watson, Fetching
Mill Farm, near Newick, England, who
lost II when crossing the field. Since
then the field has been plowed thrice,
sown, rolled and narrowed, and last
season bore two crops of clover. Both
watch and chain were embedded in
the soil. To a celluloid case is at
tributed the circumstance that the
works are in order after this long
period.

will hardly approve in their hens.
