TRAINING SER ICE.
WILLIAM MOON TELLS HOW
UNCLE SAM, PREPARES HIS
MEN FOR THE NAVY.
They Are Given Systematic Course of
Training Before Being Assigned to
the BattIeships and Cruisers The
Daily Routine.

The training service Is one of the
most important as we'll as interesting
departments in the United States navy
in the opinion Of William Moon of this
city, who is boatswain's mate on the
Yankee,of the Atlantic Training squad
ron. Mr.. Moon has been enjoying a
weeks furlough with hissparents, Mr..
and Mrs. w. A. Moon, 209 North Mar
ket street and left Sunday night to
join his ship which is in the dry dock
at Philadelphia for repairs.
To those who are unacquainted with
the inside workings Of the navy 1t may
be interesting to know how our young
men are gathered together and by a
systematic course Of training brought
to that high state of efficiency for
which American sailors are noted the
world over. Regarding the training
service Mr.. Moon said: at used to be
considered that man to amount to
anything on battleship must first be
a sailor of many years experience.
This idea has been completely over
come and in these days there are men
In the navy representing every state
In the union and men from anywhere
can be taught and trained to become
most efficient sailors.
Training Stations.
There are recruiting agents for
the navy all over the United States,
and as soon as sufficient number Of
men are enlisted they are sent to one
of the many training stations along the
coast. Here the men are given uni
forms and for two months are taught
the care Of their clothes and drilled in
the manual of arms. Many Of the
men are from the interior and have
never seen salt water before and this
training is to prepare them gradually
for the life on training ship.
The next step is the training ship
usually a full rugged ship OF the old
style, belonging to the old navy. II
has been demonstrated that men train
ed on the old sailing ships make bet
ted and more active men for service
on the modern warship.
Six Months Cruise.
about 400 men are drafted from
the training station and sent aboard
one Of these old ships and this is
where they get from six to eight
months schooling that makes seamer
Of them. The first few days is devot
ed to dividing the men into watches
and teaching them to what part OF the
ship they belong. s. d
rs Besides the men in training there
is the ships company consisting q
about $50 men and officers. After 6
few days the men take up the regular
routine.

CUMMINS WROTE IT
TARIFF PLANK FOR HARDIN
COUNTY RESOLUTION SAID
TO BE HIS PRODUCT.
Governor cummins' Tariff plank.

Governor Cummins' Tariff Plank.
I'VE stand for a system of protective
tariff duties so adjusted that it will
represent the difference between the
cost of production here and abroad, to
the end that our products may have
the best chance In our own markets,
and for the reciprocity that increases
labor and production at home"
Iowa Falls, May 3. - A tariff plank
framed by Governor A. B. Cummins
himself, was adopted by the standpat
element of Hardin county without a
murmur at the republican county con-
vention which was held here recently.
This fact has just become known, and
has caused quite ripple in republi-
can circles in the county.
1t is stated that Governor Cummins,
a short time before the convention,
was asked to frame a short tariff
plank which would be acceptable to
himself anda express the views of the
party as he construed them but which
would at the same time embody, the
salient features which might me COW
cred in the state and national plat
forms of the party.
Governor Cummins complied, and
when. the convention met, the plank
formulated by him was offered to the
committee or resolutions and met with
ready endorsement, although at the
time none of the committee, with the
possible exception of two or three,
knew that the governor had had any
thing to do with the proposed tariff
dprIa rations - 4l5%

standpatters Approved IL.

The plank was submitted to G. b..
Albrook, who had previously made a
stand pat speech before the conven-
ton and was readily endorsed by him
as one upon which any republican
might stand. Endorsed by the leaders
of the stand pat faction and by the
resolutions committee, the declaration
went through the convention without
a murmur of opposition.
The ready acceptance of the plank
framed by Governor Cummins is con-
strued here as a conclusive demonstra-
ton that a plank can be written upon
which every republican in the state
can stand without compromising his
own opinions or the principles of the
party

Loveman's Cotton Letter.

BY III. & b. Beer.
The coming week will be a most IN
terestlng one for the cotton trade. With
in a day or so the census report will
probably issue its first of a series Of
gfnners' returns on cotton ginned to No
vember IA, which will be compared with
reports to corresponding date last year,
the final statement being due about the
end of the week. These reports are TO be
followed by the annual crop estimate of
the agricultural department of the gov
eminent, which will be based upon prob
able lint per acre and acreage devoted to
the raising of the staple.
To October IS of last year there was
ginned of last seasons crop, 3,706, PAS
standard bales; this year the amount
ginned of this seasons crop to same date
was 6,417.S94 standard bales. From Oc-
tober is to November II of last year there
was 3.10S,9 $40 standard bales ginned, max
ing a total ginned so far that season g.
815,161 standard bales. 1t Is expected that
about a like amount will be reported
ginned during the same period Of this
season. which would bring the total this
far this season up to 9.526.so8 bales of
standard weight. or about 2,7l1,646 bales

From the London Mall.
In a private house In west London is a
very beautiful picture, reputed to be by
Correggio. and of such high quality that
there is every reason to believe 1t to be
either by that master or an excellent
copy of one of his lost originals by LODI

Although apparently a compler Picture
in Itself, this exquisitely painted figure Of
beautiful woman, gazing intently at a
ring, is only third Of the original pic
ture, and the present owner Is endeavor-
ing to trace the missing parts in order
to restore the work to its original condi-
ton.
A document attached to the back OF the
frame, and provided with a seal with the
inscription, "Quo Fata Vocant. gives
the curious history of this picture IT
reads:

the early morn. of cherry tree in full

She recited the poem, as has been said,
in the evening; and some time after mid
night their next neighbor, Squire Peavy.

his sleep, as he had occasionally been
known to do in his younger days after
retiring while laboring under an intense

down the cherry tree. He has since ex-
pressed the deepest regret for his In

New York, November 1s.-The cotton
market opened easy at decline of 2a4
points, or about as due on easier cables.
The weather south was favorable, and
there were further reports of free offer
ings of spots In the south. Sentiment in
local professional circles seemed against
the market under some of the large room
traders, who were evidently trying to
force further declines. But there was also
considerable covering by smaller shorts
at the lower level. and for over Sunday,
and the market following the call ruled
fairly steady. with prices giving ground
very slowly. Business was quiet

Their declines was conspicuous, and all
though no marked Improvement occurred,
a very steady market ensued. The change
for the better In general trade conditions,
as reviewed by the mercantile agencies,
and willingness of spinners to freely abb

factors which should tend to steadiness,
and additional declines in the near future,
If any will be caused by fears of a large

parative steadiness of the market and
resistance to further recesslons act as a

to see the renewal of a scalpng market
