: Good men are wanted for the United
States. navy, "a thousand month, from
now until July, and several recruiting
parties, each composed Of a~lieutenant,i
a medical officer and three or four non
commissioned officers and sailors, have
been sent outsinto the: west, where expe-.

the best sailor, c3fftfes from the farms and
the villages Of the west: where the boys
are born of honest, Industrious families,
reared under good moral influences and
have principles as well intelligence,
ambition, education and self-eontrol.
= The modern sailor, is not the :swash-
buckler that we read about in sea tales,
who is always 'shiVering his timbers'
and 'splicng the main brace and |'hitch-
ing up his, trousers The modern sailor
no longer uses the strange oaths of the
70 cas'le and despises "land lubbers,' but
he is a machinist, an electrician, a teleg-
,rapher by signals, and must have educa-
ton and intelligence to do his work. The
Cruisers and ,battleships of this genera
ton are floating machines and require
mechanical skill to manage them.
The navy is not a reform school these
days and every boy who presents him
self for enlistment is required to show a
tor. from his school teacher, the mayor
or postmaster of his town, or the en-
ployer he worked for last: He is required
to submit to a physical and mental exam
nation. If he has bad habits he will be
rejected. w..

stands in second place in the matter Of
port business Of the three western great
lakes. Port Collector Mills had esti-
mated that the total tonnage Of the sea-

final figures show that it was over 9, 0O0-

This puts Superior next to Milwaukee,

LIVE STOCK FOLK !

CORA Goat,
The Afternoon Is Spent Visiting: the
Stockyard and Packing Houses
at Kansas City.

Il Kansas City. Jan. 14.-But one session
of the National Live Stock annual con-
vention was held to-day. After hearing
resolutions presented yesterday and listen
ing to several speeches on various topics,
the delegates spent the afternoon inspect
ing the stockyards and visiting the pack
ing houses. Tonight. {. grand ball and
reception will; be given at convention hall
for which elaborate preparations have
been made. ~. M u. = . = 'ET-
tx Governor David r. Francis, presi-
dent of the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton, who was TO have read an address
before the convention to-day, notified
President Springer that he would be un-
able to be present because Of pressing
duties in connection with the fair.
Denver was added to the list of cities
that desire to entertain the delegates next
year. The biggest effort to. secure the
next convention is being made by the
Portland, Oregon., delegation, which APP
parenty is in the lead for the honor.
The program to- day&ainciuded the fol-
lowing papers:
The Angora Goat Industry in the
United States by Dr. w. c. Bailey, Cal
ifornia; Changes lin Our Financial Sys-
tenn Which Would Benefit Stockmen,' by
S. R.. Flynn, Illinois, and z"Our New Mar
kets for Live, Stock by George F.
Thompson, Washington, D. G.
- The Goat 1sNAIi Right. .
Dr. Bailey said the goat industry had
been successfully growing in the United
States for over forty years, and the flocks
have grown from nothing to about 100000
animals. Last year over 100000 pounds
of mohair was produced, which sold for
from 20 to 45l cents a. pound, and the
American mills consumed over 100000
pounds. 1t would take some years to pro-
duce enough mohair for home consump-
ton, but home, consumption was increas-
ing as rapidly as. home production; and
there was a. demand for large, fine skins
in excess Of the supply.
The Angora goat is not a creation OF
the whm Of speculation brought from dis
tant Turkey to induce the American pub
lie to part with it's hard Learned lucre, but
he is a money maker, and when the Amer
lean livestock breeder prepares proper
place for the right kind of Angora, he
need feel no hesitancy in stocking with
these silver-feeced brush destroyers. They
are an American. institution and they have
come to stay.

THE POLITICS oFIT
A Story From. Rome Regarding tn
49, o'ConneI1 Appointment.

New York Sun Special Service.
Rome, Jan. 14.-In the vatican world
the appointment Of Mgr. O'Connell to the
rectorship Of the Washington Catholic
university is considered revolution. Mgr
O'Connen was the trusted and authori-
tative lieutenant of Archbishop Ireland at
Rome. Loyalty to his leader and his sup
port Of so-called Americanism secured
for him a persecution led especially by
Cardinals Ledocowski and Ciasco. both of
whom are dead. Mgr. O'Connell was dis
missed from the rectorship of the Ameri-
can college here, and lived for seven years
at Rome without an appointment. The
two American factions which are recog-
nized as chiefs in the United States,
Archbishops Ireland and Corrigan,1 have
now as corresponding leaders in Rome
Cardinals Satolli and Martinelli. Arch
bishop Ireland got ahead through Gov
ernor Taft's coming to Rome to negotiate
the Philippine question. The present ap-
pointment Of Mgr. O'Connell shows decid-
edly which side the pope favors. 49,:
Old residents of the vatican say that
the real inwardness of the appointment Of
Mgr. O'Connell Is that Archbishop Ire
land will soon enter the sacred college.
