GUNNERs MATE A HERO.
Prompt Action Saved RattIeship Mis-.
=. souri, From Destruction. 49,


souri, From Destruction. .
Pensacola. Fla, April 16.--It now
transpires that Chief Gunner's Mate
Monsoon saved the battleship Missouri
and the lives of more than 600 men by
jumping into the open magazine and
closing the door behind him just after
the explosion which killed thirty-two
men in the after turret and in the
handling room below.
It is said, though not by officers of
the Missouri, that when the officers
heard the explosion In the turret and
saw the fire leaping through the top
they realized that the magazine might
next explode and headed the ship for
the beach, intending to beach her if
possible before it blew up. Captain
Cowles quickly put the ship back to
sea.
When the first explosion occurred
in the turret the men in the handling
room knew in an instant what had
occurred. The big magazine door
was open and standing against it were
four charges of powder.
Without a moments hesitation Gun
ner's Mate Monsoon showed these aside
and, jumping into the magazine, pulled
the door shut after him. The maya
zine was flooded with water and when
the men opened the door they found
Monson barely alive, the water having
reached to his neck.

DIRECT FROM PORT ARTHUR.

Port Arthur, Thursday, April a.
An engagement occurred at 6 o'clock
yesterday morning between seven Rus
sian torpedo boats and the cruiser
Bayan and Japanese vessels. The tor
pedo boat destroyer Bezstrashni was
sunk. Five of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers, with the Bayan, returned at
Z 4. m.
The battleships Petropavlovsk, Po-
bieda and Peresviet and the torpedo
gunboat Gaydamak then put to sea.
At $3.50 a. m. a terrific explosion &C.
cured beneath the Petropavlovsk and
the. ship went down in two minutes.
The Japanese squadron, consisting of
about twenty ships, remained in sight
until o'clock in the afternoon.
The fighting between the opposing
fotillas OF torpedo boat destroyers
lasted about an hour. The Bezstrashni
was surrounded by three Japanese
torpedo boat destroyers and sunk. The
Japanese boats then withdrew and the
Japanese squadron appeared on the
horizon, whereupon the Russian
squadron left the roadstead, steer
ing in the
Direction Of the Enemy's Ships,
which retired. Soon. however, the
Japanese reappeared with formidable
force of about a score of warships.
The Russian squadron returned to the
roadstead and took up a position in
line of battle ready to receive the en-
envy.
The sudden explosion which de-
stroyed the Petropavlovsk occurred
almost Immediately thereafter and the
battleship went to the bottom.
The Grand Duke Cyril, Captain
Jakovleff, the commander of the Petro-
pavlovsk, four officers and some fifty
men were saved.
The battleship Pobieda was dam.
aged aulidships and went into the inner
Aarbor, where she anchored.
The enemy's vessels, which were
formed in two divisions, disappeared
In the course of the afternoon. The
fresh breeze which was blowing
throughout Wednesday developed into
q violent gale towards night.
There are now only two unchanged
battleships-the Peresviet and the
Sevastopol-in the harbor, but some
of the damaged vessels have been re-
paired.
Altogether ten Russian vessels have
been damaged or lost since the out
break of the war.

New York, April 16.-Expressions
from st. Petersburg of q belief that
the Japanese are using submarine
boats in their Port Arthur attacks are
given color by statement credited tc
q retired naval officer in this city. He
declares 1t to be the only way in which
one can account for the succession of
disasters met by the Russian ships.
ut is incredible" he said, that
ships which undoubtedly have charts
Ct the mines aboard should be blown
up by them. One of the first things
Vice Admiral Makaron did when he
reached Port Arthur was to resurvey
the harbor and locate the mines.
What is the sense of these con-
slant bcmbardments ii they are not
feints made in order to entice the Rus
sian ships out? The theories that the
Petropavlovsk struck her own mines
or that the japanese planted a mine
during night are untenable and we
know that the Japanese have sub

that the imperial palace at Seoul, Ko-

during the night. The fire began In
the evening and lasted throughout the
night. Only the ruins Of the palace
remain. The emperor and his suite
succeeded In escaping to q nearby

The report does not mention any
loss of life, nor does it give the cause
Of the fire, but the recent political un-

A. It was not error to admit evil
dence tending to show a continuation
Of the adulterous relation Of the de-
PENDANT and plaintiffs husband in
Wisconsin, occurring after the latter
had abandoned the plaintiff in Min

alienation of the affection of a hus-

S. The preliminary question Of the
admissibility of evidence is for the
court. Where, however, the question
Of admissibility depends upon disputed
facts, the court may submit the evil
dence to the jury, with proper hypoth-

law which shall govern them upon the

find them.

HOW TO GET RICH.


This lesson is not for those who OK
pect to make large fortunes by invest
ing in Savannah real estate. That
class may be given further lessons
later. The purpose of lesson is to in
terest those nc blemen, natures noble
men, who with limited incomes have
bought their lots. built their homes,
and paid their last instalment. There
are a thousand such men in this city
who are the heroes of this story quiet,
honest delivers who have done their
duty. and are heroes, unknown except
to those of their own household who
have witnessed their self-denying he
roism.
A king on the throne is not prouder
than the man of moderate means when
ne has paid the last installment for
the house that in the eyes of law is
his castle" He looks back with
pride at the self-denials and little econ
omies which he and his wife have
made in order to pay for that resting
place. The cents saved here, and the
dollars saved there. how hard it was
to keep them from slipping away; van
ishing into nothing. But the struggle
is over, and hereafter what comes in
will not have 20 be carefully divided,
so much for the installment and so
much for the grocer. and so much for
clothing, and so on. The man and
woman rejoice that the grand project
of securing a home has been accom-
plished while they are young and
strong, while the wants of the boys
and girls are those of little children.
lars will have to be provided to send
the boy or girl, or both, to school or
college. or, ii is not so pleasant to con-
slider this, there may be sickness to
contend with, and the home is the saw
ings bank from which money is to he
had for the asking. The money is
borrowed to be paid back again when
times are better and expenses less. May
be the increase in values of the prop
erty warrants it's sale; and enough
money is secured by selling to build a
new and better home, on a cheaper
lot, and leave one or two thousand dol
lars profit
The beginning of all this is buying a
lot A Thirty-ninth street, east, lot
will do for a starter but If that don't
suit try one on some other street. Don't
wait until lots that are now selling on

plays the most artistic and attractive
arrangement of its bunting, though the
nature of the reward has not yet been
decided on.

Thunderbolt Casino and then return to
the starting point Several trips will be
made over the course so that the full
benefit of the display may be enjoyed
by the clubs guests.
