the age of t2 he went to sea, sailing from Whitehaven. On this first voyage he visited America, the land whose flag he presently was to sail under. Before he was 20 he served as mate on two vessels engaged in the slave trade. but their traffic was not to his liking, and he start ed to return to England, sailing az pas- senger. Two of the officers died on the way, and Jones was called upon to make use of his knowledge of the art of navi- gation. He brought his vessel safely Into port, and the owners were so we'll pleased they made him a master and sent him out to the West Indies.
 In 1773 brother died and left an es- tate in Virginia, which Jones took charge of, at this period adding the Jones to his name. In 1775 congress began to equip a navy and Jones was made senior first lieutenant. The following year he sailed from the Delaware river in the Alfred" the plan to attack New Provi- dence. But the expedition returned, and then he was given command of the sloop Providence. In a six-weeks' cruise he showed great skill in evading the stronger enemy, in capturing prizes and doing no little damage on the Nova Sco- tian coast. Later in the Alfred he made another successful northern venture.
 In command of the Ranger he sailed for France in November, 1777, and the American commissioners at the French court authorized him to distress the enemies of the United States by land or sea-" which he immediately proceeded to do with might and main. The Eng fish were amazed at his "piratical acts; {" he took prizes in St. Georges channel. tried to burn the shipping at White haven and cut of the supply of coal for Ireland. attempted to capture the earl of Selkirk. Finally he sailed away, among his prizes British man-of-war, the Drake. But it was his fight when in command of the Bon Homme Richard that won him vote of thanks from con- gress and gold sword from the king of France.

Apropos of the railway question, con- siderable interest attaches to the hear ings which are to be given on the sub jectof railway legislation by the sen ate committee on interstate commerce, of which Senator Elkins of West vir- glnia is chairman, says our Washing ton correspondent. The members of this committee are Senators Elkins, Cullom, Aldrich,. Kean. Deliver, For aker, Clapp. Willard, Tlllman, McLau. rin, Carmack, Foster of Louisiana and Newlands. The first of the meetings called to deal with this subject under authority of a special senate resolution will occur next Monday and it is ex- pected that they will be held almost continuously for several months. Of the above membership Senator Aldrich is still in Europe, Willard is in Nebras. ka and Tillman is i'll at his home in South Carolina, although it is hoped he will he able to attend. and Senator Willard will probably return to Wash ington before long. It is generally ex- pected that as a result of these hear lngs the committee will report some form of railway legislation to the sen ate as soon as that body convenes, all though those familiar with the atti- tude and affiliations of a majority of the committee expect that any meas ure which it will be reported will prove either insufficient to accomplish the de. sired end, or, and this is more likely. will he so drastic as to prove uncon- stitutional when submitted to the su- preme court. Ii will remain. therefore. for the real friends of the president and of railway rate reform to amend the bill on the floor of the senate until 1t assumes a form both practical and adsauate. The next session of con- gress will prove an unusually interest ing one. Great interests of the public will he at stake.- no one of more i'm portance than this one of railway rate regulation. and the attitude and votes of every member of both houses will be. or should be. scrutinized closely by their constituents.

FAMOUS NAVAL HERO.

The date of his birth is 1792. When 26 years of age he assumed the name of John Paul Jones, for what reason it is not known.
 A daring. reckless fellow was this John Paul, one that never knew when he was whipped. kept on fighting when the odds seemed dead against him, and-this the distinguishing thing-winning vic- tory out of it all. It is hard to get the right estimate of the man, and one won ders what Time will do with his record, what she will finally judge him. For long the English called him naught but pirate. renegade, nllibuster; Americans of note did not yield him unanimous tribute. One that has made . careful study of his career gives this conclusion of the man: His devotion to the nag of the United States is as unquestionabie as his daring. He declared that America had been the country of his fond cleo ton since the age of 12. His real for glory. may have been allayed by . strain of restless vanity. like that Of other great seamen, but his conception Of naval strategy and his appreciation of the value of intellectual culture for naval officers are far in advlnce of his age and profession-"

WHEN ROJESTVENSkY WON,
How the Russian Admiral Sank Three
 Turkish Ships,

How the Russian Admiral Sank Three
 Turkish Ships.
 ''The story of how Admiral Rojest- vensky, commander of Russia's sec ond Pacific squadron, won his St. Georges cross for bravery is told diff ferently in Russia from the way it is here," said Dr. M. W. Pickard recent ly to. a reporter of the Kansas City Times. Dr. Pickard is a Russian by birth and spent several years in the Imperial Naval academy at Odessa. "The story I learned at the academy" he said, tells of sinking three Turk ish vessels in his first engagement.
 "The boat Vesta was little vessel, not more than 150 feet long, and was engaged in carrying munitions of war from Russia's larger cities to the Dan. ube. Captain Popoff was in command, with Rojestvensky second. One day in 1877 this little vessel was steaming along toward point on the Roumanian coast, travelling through a fog and mist. Suddenly it came in sight of ship and as usual cleared its deck for action. The Vesta carried few guns, just enough to protect it in case of at- tack.
 "The Vesta started into the big ship, but when it drew nearer it found itself confronting Turkish battleship which had two obsolete vessels with it. The battleShip turned a brOadside loose at the Vesta, and at the first shot Captain Popoff was killed. Rojestvensky took command and fought out the, battle. His gunners did their work so well that the battleship and the two smaller yes. sels were sunk. The Vesta itself was disabled, but managed to get back to the island of Pheodonis, or Snake is- land, where it was beached. It was afterward raised and taken to Odessa and repaired. For number of years it was used in passenger service in the Black sea. It was ever afterward known as the Rojestvensky ship.
 "A peculiar feature of the vesta his- tory was its ending. In 1884,, while sailing near Roumania, it ran into storm and went down with all ion board. The ship sunk not ten miles from where 1t had fought its fight with the Turkish vessels.
 "The Russians look upon Rojestven- sky as one of their bravest and most expert commanders"

Archneologist Makes Strange Djscov-

 cry Near Albany, Ore.
 While excavating on a farm five miles southwest of Albany, Ore, near the bank of the Calapooya river, J. c. Crawford of Albany, Ore, discovered the remains of five bodies of prehistor- ic men and also a small altar, undoubt- edly used for sacrifes. says an Al bany (Orel dispatch. The skeletons showed that all had been mutilated.
 Crawford, who is an archaeologist, thinks the people undoubtedly were cannibals. In one case the whole face had been broken out from the top of the head to the jaw.
 The altar was built on a rock foun- dation in oval form and was con structed of clay which had been burned until it was as red as brick. Crawford says it was the custom to offer the hearts Of the dead on these altars ss a burned sacrifice to some deity.

The president announced before <. he left on his vacation that he had left Taft sitting on the lid" While the avoirdupois of the secretary of war would indicate his capacity for keep ing the lid on quite successfully, his career in the Philippines would not in dicate that as an administrator his control of affairs is thing to be de- sired, says one writer. Of all men who have come prominently into the public eye in the last eight years Mir Taft probably has failed most signally to live up to his advance notices. The country was given to understand when he went to the Philippines that he was phenomenon in the way of executive ability and devotion to duty. Never
 theless, his administration of affairs in the islands developed nothing more i'm pressive than the urgent necessity for a censorship that should keep the country in ignorance of what was really being done. He "sat on the lid"
 in the Philippines so successfully that to this day only those who have talked to returning soldiers and sailors who were there during his regime have. any idea of what was really concealed un- der the lid If the country generally understood more thoroughly his Philip pine record the honored secretary of war is about the last member of the cabinet that 1t would select to act as the understudy for Mir Roosevelt while he is chasing coyotes and jack rabbits.
