THE STEAMSHIP SERVIA.

rom the New 7 DIRK RreSS.
My old friend. F. c. Kenmore was
asked by visiting Britisher at din
ner the other night: "D'ye mind the
S. S. Servia, Kenmore, old MANI" ST
should rather think l do was the
reply, "the stanchest, safest ship that
ever sailed the wintry seas, bar none"
That's about the size of it. but do
you know what came over herr" mo,
l don't, but 1 sincerely hope she's still
to the fore" Yes, that's right; she's
still to the fore and to the forge. Per-
haps you have piece of her in your
pocket "Quit your kiddin', Major,
and explain yourself" Il mean all
say. The old Servia was wholesaled
en- bloc to a Sheffield cutlery concern,
which is now retailing her in pocket
knives, jack knives and other house,
hold utensils" Kenmore exclaimed:
ALAS! To what base uses!"
The Servia, launched in 1881, was the
first steel vessel built by the Cunard
Line, and, with the exception of the
premature and unfortunate Great
Eastern, was the largest and most
powerful steamer which up to that
time had been designed. In every de-
tail of fitment she was the most per-
feet specimen of construction that
could De desired. She was the first
ship of the line to receive an electric
installation. The Servia was a most
trustworthy vessel and lowered the At
lantic record, to days, / hours and 3s
minutes. Twenty-three years have
worked wonders in the size and speed
of steamships. The Servia was 515 feet
long, with $500 horse power and a
speed of 1871 knots. The Kaiser Will
helm II is 707 feet long, with 40 900
horse power and can travel at the rate
of % knots or better.

TO-DAY's CONTEST.

The people will to-day decide the
presidential contest that has to a great
er or less extent occupied their atten-
ton for six months or more. Each
! of the great parties is claiming it will
be victorious, and each gives approx
mately the number of electoral votes it
| expects its candidate to get. The sit
uation. however may be described as
| follows: The Republicans are conf
dent and the Democrats are hopeful.
The unexpected may happen, but there
will not be much surprise if it doesn't.
Until the last few days the cam
paign was a lifeless one. The peo-
pie were about unanimous in saying
they had never know a presidential
campaign in which so little interest
was taken. The first ripple of real ex-
element was caused by Judge Parker,
when he charged that Mr.. Roosevelt
was depending upon the money collect
ed from trusts for victory. That
charge was the leading issue during the
last two weeks of the campaign. Mr..
Roosevelt's letter. in which he denied
the charge, was so violent and so de-
mandatory of Judge Parker, that it will
stand as a precedent in political lit
erature of it's kind.
The Republicans are saying they can
win without New York. That is an
admission that they are doubtful about
carrying that state. While it is true
that Mr. Roosevelt can be elected
without New York there is a pretty
strong probability that if he loses
that state, he will lose enough of
the other states that are being con-
tested to give the victory to Judge
Parker.
1t is true the betting is in favor
of Mr.. Roosevelt, but the betting is
not always a sure indication as to
how the election will CO. The reports
the Democratic campaign managers
are receiving from New Jersey, In
diana, West Virginia, Maryland and
encouraging character. Even if Judge
Parker isn't elected the returns from
the doubtful states will show that he
has made a splendid campaign.
Mr.. Watson's campaign manager
wants the country to believe that his
candidate is going to poll very large
vote in many of the states, notably in
New York, and Mr.. Watson himself
is quoted as saying that he will get
the electoral vote of Georgia. Mr..
Watson and his manager are going to
be disappointed. There are Populists
of course who are going to vote for
Mr.. Watson, but it is quite certain
that the number of voters who will
throw away their votes on him is not
large.
The campaign has not affected bust
ness injuriously and the result of the
election will cause no disturbance in
the finances or industries of the coun-
try. The decision of the people, there
fore, is awaited with absorbing inter-
est, but without apprehensions of
monetary or industrial troubles.

ALARMED ABOUT THE COTTON
SUPPLY.


| Recently in Marseilles NJ. Paul
| Boardarie delivered a lecture before the
/ Chamber of Commerce on the dire
] full consequences to Europe that would
follow the consumption of all of Ameri-
can cotton by American mills, leaving
none for export.
There is no doubt that there is a
very general feeling of apprehension
in Europe on this subject, particularly
in France and England. This feeling
is the cause of the activity that is be-
ing displayed by trade bodies and the
| various exchanges in both these
countries in the direction OF finding
new sources of a supply of raw cotton.
There is no particular reason, how
ever why the spinners and mill OPP
eratives of Europe should be unduly
disturbed in regard to this matter. 1t
is true that the number of cotton mills
in this country is steadily increasing,
particularly here in the South. but the
South hasn't yet reached her capacity
to produce cotton. The crop this year
will approximate, from present indi-
cations, 10000. 900 bales, and the mills
of the United States will take a little
more than third of it. But the South
could produce 2O,OOO,OOO or more bales,
and would produce that amount if
there was a demand for it at anything
like the present price.
1t has been stated many times in
half of the land in the South suitable
for the growing of cotton was in culti-
walton, and that the land now devnt-
ed to cotton could be made to pre-
duce twice as much is it does. That the
land is not producing to its full capa-
city is evident from reports frequently
sent to the newspapers showing what
is being done by the intensive system
of cultivation. Instead of one bale to
three acres, as is the rule over a large
part of the cotton area, it would be
an easy mater - get a bale 10 the
acre, on the average. There IS plenty
of land now producing only half a
bale to the acre that would yield a
bale and a half, or two bales, if
brought up to a high state of fertility
by proper cultivation and fertiliza-
ton
European spinners will not find it
an easy matter to discover other
sources from which cotton can be OBJ
tanned, though it is evident they intend
to try to discover them. They will
have to depend upon this country for
cotton, and they will have to pay a
price for it that will yield the farm
ers profit, otherwise it will not be
produced

JAPANESE NERvE-sTEADYINs.
From Success.

Admiral Togo, commander-in -chief of
the Japanese navy, whose prowess as
fighting man has won world wide
praise of late, comes from an old school
of Nippon warriors. His naval edu-
cation is of the best. and he has been
trained in every way to be a fear
less, calm and tireless fighter.
In his youth he and his fellow stu
dents at the Japanese Naval Academy
were accustomed to attend an. annual
banquet. They sat at a circular table
around slowly revolving cannon, load
ed with ball and trained to the
level of their heads. The trigger was
so arranged that it could be touched
from hidden source outside of the
banquet hall. That at some time dur
ing the banquet the cannon would be
fired every one at the table knew:
but just when, or in what direction it
would be pointed, was mystery. OF
course, there was a possibility that
the ball might crash harmlessly be-
tween the heads of two banqueters,
but it was equally probable that 1t
might carry off the head of some stu
dent. Yet no one flinched. The chances
were equal to all.
The picturesque object of destruction
revolving during the jovial hours of
the banquet, pointing from student to
student, and ready at a given moment
to blow any one of them to pieces.
was considered admirable training to
steady the nerves of a fighting man.

Personal.

Mrs. Charlotte ]. Creigmille of
5237 hardwood avenue, Philadelphia,
has made a quilt composed of 22,642
pieces. 1t is to be an Inauguration gift
for President Roosevelt and will be de-
llvered at the white house March 4
next. The quilt is made entirely of
satin in the national celors-red, white
and blue.
1t is authoritatively stated in Ber-
lin that the reasons which induced the
late Prince Herbert Bismarck to defer
the publication of the third volume of
his fathers memoirs still obtain and
that this volume, which deals chiefly
with quite modern history, will not be
published until after the death of the
present emperor.

He desired to express his sympathy.
That was all, says the New York
Press. He had always liked the man,
and now that he was reported to be
near death he felt sorry for both him
and the afflicted family.
Poor fellow!" he said. "They tell
me that he already has one foot in the
fire."
Trouble followed. The wife of the
sick man happened to overhear the re-
mark, and she promptly declared that
he was a mean, hateful old thing and
then burst into tears.
But, my dear madam" he pro-
tested.
Don't speak to metz she exclaimed
Poor old Pete always looked upon you
as friend, and I always thought you
were one, too"
But 1 assure YOU"
Don't you dare say one word to
mel"
Then a mutual friend took him by
the arm and led him to one side.
Really, old man." he said, 1T was
outrageous. I'm almost tempted to
think you've been drinking"
But, hang it all"
at was neither the time nor the
place for cheap wit" broke in another
friend.
But I didn't intend"
"Of course, we all know that Pete
has been a pretty lively boy in his
day." interrupted still another friend,
'but you ought to have some regard
for the feelings of his wife"
II tell you l."
That's what comes of cultivating
ones sense of humor at the expense
of ones better feelings" put in the
friend who had first taken him aside.
"Of course, we know that you did not
intend to say anything that would
seem harsh and cruel, but"
Now, look here!" exclaimed the
man who had made the original re-
mark, breaking away from them an
grily. "What I said was all right and
proper. What would you have me
say? That am sorry to hear that he
has one foot in the grave? That
would be a nice, sensible thing to do
when I happen to know that he is a
cremationist and has already bought
a silver urn to hold his ashes, wouldn't
it? The trouble with you people is
that you are not up to date"

with a sword in his hand, is shot away
from the mouth of a gun at the enemy,
as ordinary shrapnel. On arrival
among the enemy he makes short work
of them by his sword play! These
swordsmen are now fighting for Japan
and gaining victories" This transla-

r1ttmatster and arranges matters with
him. The rittmaister sees him and his
carload of books safely across the
border and directs him to some small
town near the frontier. Then the ritz
master raises the alarm and calls his
men to horse, and they start off in
pursuit of an imaginary smuggler in
another direction, firing into the air
to show their zeal in the discharge of
their duties. "A ruble on either eye
