LANDMARK TAVERN is BURNED.
Lodi Hotel, Patronlzed by Washing
ton and Jefferson,

After standing as hostelry about
40 years, the Lodi hotel at Kearney.
N. j., has been destroyed by fire.
Gems. Washington and Lafayette are
counted among the historical person
ages who put up at the old tavern.
They passed a night there shortly be-
fore the battle of Monmouth.
Early in its history its location
made 1t a safe resort for the sporting
element and it was a noted place for
all kinds of sports. In more recent
years the Lodi hotel was a gathering
place for the English and Scotch
sportsmen interested in quoting and
dog racing. It was the place where
the latter sport began in this coun-
try. Another sporting class which
made the old hotel prominent were
the trapshooters of the latter half OF
last century.

Caran D'Ache. perhaps the first of

represents France and England as

Mans Future Life.

DIR. w T. Moore, dean emeritus Of
the Missouri Bible college in Column
bia, has completed the manuscript of
a book in which he endeavors to show
that man will go on progressing
through the cycles of eternity. and
that when. he assumes his spiritual
body at the resurrection he then will
be prepared to inhabit some OF the
planets or stars which are now unin-
habited. The author concludes that
the iniinitude of space and the almost
infinitude of worlds become intelligi-

"As a matter OF fact, have not
the data for the exact figures as yet"
he said. I'VE have been up the last
three days and nights practically all
the time and have not spent much
time making estimates. In round
numbers, we have covered 1900 miles
in nine days four and a quarter
hours"
With this for starter 1t is seen
that the Kearsarge on the trip across
has logged on an average of 13 1-6
knots an hour. Capt Hemphill stated
that the best days run averaged
about Is knots, while the slowest was
10 knots. This was on the day that
the proximity of icebergs interfered
with speed.
During the entire trip Commander
Abraham p. Zane, the chief engineer,
scarcely left the engine room long
enough to sleep. No small credit is
due to Lieut.. William p Pratt, the
chief navigator. under whose care the
Kearsarge hardly deviated hair
from the exact course in the trip
from The Nedles.
In going across the ocean to partici-
pate in the naval display at Kiel the
battleship Kearsarge made the best
speed for the distance ever made by a
battleship. The route from New York
to The Needles. 3.245 miles, was tray
ersed without stop for any cause at
an average speed of 1852 knots an
hour. IA to Is knots an hour being re-

FASTEST in THE WORLD.
Proud Record Held by United States
BattIeshlp kearsarqe.

With a great wave under its bow
and n black cloud of smoke pouring
from its two tunnels. the battleship
Kearsarge steamed into the harbor
at Bar Harbor, Me-, July 26, ending
the most remarkable passage ever
made across the ocean by battleship
and establishing record from Eng
land to this country for that class of
ship.
Leaving The Needles at 1:25 p m.
July II. the Kearsarge arrived at
Mount Desert rock July &c at 12; 80
p. m. covering the distance of slightly
less than 5000 miles in nine days four
and one-quarter hours. when the diff
ference in time is taken into consid-
Grafton.
This performance makes the Keaf-
sarge a worthy compeer of the Ore
gon, which withstood the hardest test
to which such a vessel ever was sub
jected on its world famous trip of
1900 miles from San Francisco to
Santiago.
The trip of the Kearsarge has
demonstrated that a ship of its class
can maintain an average speed of
over thirteen knots on long voyage
without injury to its machinery:
that its coal carrying capacity is ad-
equate for trip of 1000 miles under
full speed; that in time of war ships
of this class can cross the ocean and
engage an enemy at once; and that
the Kearsarg is one Of the most per-
feet ships in the world, and fully
equal to any emergency.

He was fishing on the pier when
something caught the bait and darted

fish. The shark finally made for top
