KEARSkRGE ARRIVES.
Made Voyage from Portsmouth
to Bar HarbOr in
Nine Days.

Bar Harbor, Me-, July 2S.-The
United States battleship Kearsarge ar
rived at Bar Harbor at 5 :42 p. M, and
dropped anchor in the upper bay, half
an hour later.
She covered the distance between The
Needles and Mount Desert rock, $500
miles, in nine days, four and quarter
hours. and average speed of 13. l6 miles
an hour.
The highest speed attained was a lit
tie over fifteen knots an hour, and the
lowest was ten. Three times during
the trip the ship vas slowed down, once
on account OF being in the vicinity Of
an iceberg and twice on account OF a
very thick fog. Head winds and thick
weather retarded the progress of the
ship, and under favorable conditions
she would have covered the distance in
less than nine days. Capt. Hemphill
says that he could start on return trip
at once and beat the record made on
this voyage. Since the kearsarge left
New York, fifty-three days ago, she
has visited Germany, Denmark and
England, has steamed 5000 miles, has
been at sea "a days and in port 90
DAYS, and during all this time there has
not been a single accident to the ma
chinery or stop of any kind. She is
ready for action.
The trip of the Kearsarge has demon
etrated that ship OF her class can
maintain an average speed of over thir-
teen knots on long voyagsl without
injury to her machinery; that her coal
carrying capacity is adequate for trip
of four thousand miles under full speed |;
that in time of war ships of her class
can eros the ocean and engage an enc
my at once; that the Kearsarge is one
OF the most powerful ships in the wor Id
and fully equal to any emergency.

When the Navajos were moved by

other vaQueros went northward with
little bands of cattle and settled on
ira cts Of land close to the Arizona ter
ritorial line. That was the real begin
ming Of the Healy fortune. In few
years he had several hundred head of
steers. Then he had several thousand.
He spoke the Spanish tongue as well
as his own, and no American knew
the border and its rude. rough ways so
we'll as Jim IIealy did. When he sold
his cattle he bought more land. Then,
with more land. he increased his herd.
With further sales of cattle. he bought
more land so he kept on buying land,
trading for cattle and water rights oc-

is one of the most Interesting men in
the territory. His poss s.i rs In land,
cattle. copper and silver mines in New
Mexico and in chihuahua, Mexico. are
easily worth several millions of dollars
His average annual income for several
years has been upward of $4,000.
Last year he sold cattle that alone
brought him $4,000. and it is believed
his income ran up to about $lOo.0OO.
Yet, with all this wealth at his COM
mand. and with a knowledge that his
great fortune is in gild-edged securl-
ties. he lives as cheaply as the COM
monest Mexican vaquero in his employ.
He boasts that he spends less than
$500 year on himself His income is
greater than that of some leaders OF
American society and notable votaries
of fashion and elegance. but he has alb
solutely no knowledge of the intlu-
ence and prestige his riches would
have in other peoples hands amid a
different environment. What good is
there in money, if you can't buy land
and cattle?" is the terse answer he
gave someone once who was trying to
tell the cattle king how other folks
would use an income of nearly 100000
a year.

RIGHT TO LABOR
JUDGE BEATTY RENDERS IMPOR-
TANr DECISION,
Permanent Injunction Is Granted
Against interference With Nom
Union Men--kight to Work or
Quit Must BE Free to All in a
Free Country.

San Francisco, July %. - United
States District Judge Beatty, OF Idaho,
sitting in the United States circuit
court here, rendered two decisions in la
Dor suits, and in both instances his rul-
ings we're against boycotting. In the
case OF the Gulf Bag Company, of this
city, against its striking union en-
plOyes the injunction restraining the
defendants from interfering with per-
sons at work in the factory was made
permanent. A significant portion of
the jduge's decision was as follows:
cit was an effort on tie part of the
defense to force higher wages for their
associates by unlawful interference with
the rights of others to labor who were
not associated with them. All labor
ing people fully nuderst stand that, when
ever they please, and for any cause,
they have the right to quit work.
Whether as individuals or as organiza-
tions, they must also understand that
al men, whether associated with them
or not. have eqaul rights with them in
the labor world.
"The right to labor or to cease it
must be as free to all as it is to water
to seek it's level. This government is
one of liberty under the law, and its
people are free men. Neither will it
tolerate the attempt of any to enforce
assumed rights by crushing the inalen-
able rights of others. Until all recog
nize and obey that law the contest must
and will 60 on"
In the case of Michael Hallanan, of
New York, VS.. The Journeymen Horse
shoers' Union of this city, the restrain
ing order against the defendants was
made permanent. Halanan manufac-
lures horseshoeing pad and was boy
cotted becasue he would not use the
stamp Of the international union. The
boycott was taken up bv the San Fran
cisco union and Hallanan trade suf-
fered.

Healy's Career.

James Heay went to New Mexico
from Texas. He was born in Sedllia,
Mo-. in 1888. and with his parents went
to Austin, Texas. in 1850. He has al
ways lived on the plains and has no
knowledge of any other life. lie never
went to school but three years, and
that was on the plains of Texas. But
he was born with rare sagacity and IA
peculiar border shrewdness that reads
men at one glance and knows Il schem-
er instinctively. SO, while he is ignor-
ant Of worldly ways and has not the
meagerest knowledge of the thoughts
and aspirations of the people in the
busy, pushing. progressive world out
side of the lonely southern spur of the
Rocky Mountains, where he has lived
for longer than general ton, he knows
cattle and sheep as thoroughly as any
man ever did. and he has the natural
rough skill to drive the best bargains
for anything he buys or sells. His
chief stock in trade is an iron consti-
tuition and a bravado nerve that made
him well known on the frontier before
he was 20.
He became a vaquerO in Texas when
he was but II, and he has been at it
ever since He never talks about his
possessions, and he Is as close as an
oyster when anyone tries to get him to
tell what sums his semi-annual cattle
shipments to Kansas City yield But
he will sit all night and smoke and
drink whisky and claret mixed and
tell his ideas about breeding long or
short horned cattle, about the relative
profit in sheep or cattle and how he
has many a time saved good critter
from death by disease and for ship
ment to the slaughter house. From the
mea gerest beginnings and with only
Il stout heart and two brawny arms as
his equipment for wealth production,
James Healy has come to his present
wealth. The story of his rise Is as
thrilling as any border fiction. The
story tells how young Healy herded
cattle in region infested by Apaches;
how he rode as a Texas ranger in the
last Comanche campaign and was once
picked up for dead on the scene of an
Indian ambush: how he has fought and
killed the most dangerous desperadoes
in the cattle country at several times
in his long experience on the southern
border. and how he has trailed cattle
thieves and rustlers for weeks at a
time, all so to make incidents in as
