FAMOUS NAVAL HERO.

The date of his birth is 1892. 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. 1t 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, fllibuster; Americans
of note did not yield him unanimous
tribute. One that has made a careful
study Of his career gives this conclusion
of the man: His devotion to the flag
of the United States is as unquestionable
as his daring. He declared that America
had been the country Of his fond cleo
ton since the age Of u. His zeal for

this dizzy height. Now with 20 and
3O-story buildings all about, it looks
low and squat, and the directors begin
to face the necessity Of rebuilding. Ten
story buildings are now called tax pay
ers.''
The Equitable building may be worth
$10,000,000 or more including its site
Or rather the site is worth that and the
building little in addition. The Law
yers' club installed upon two floors at
the top was one of the pioneers Of the
downtown club idea in the city. To
this day there is no more splendid place
Of marble fittings and magnificence.
This building is monument to the
memory of strong man, the late Henry
B. Hyde. Whatever difficulties his idol
lied company may have got itself into
since his death, Hyde built to last
everything that he touched. 1t is a
thousand pities that such work should
have to be torn down and pried apart
The fate of the Equitable building once
the show place of the city, now doomed
to be torn down that it may rise upon
the site more respondent than ever
is it symbolic of rebuilding needed in
the company itself? I wonder!

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 advance of his age and
profession"
His work is, in brief, as follows: At
the age of IL 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 as pas
senger. Two Of the officers died on the
way, and Jones was called upoE to make
use of his knowledge of the art OF navi-
cation. He brought his vessel safely
into port. and the owners were so well
pleased they made him a master and
sent him out to the West Indies
In 1873 brother died and left an es-
tate in Virginia, which Jones took
charge of, at this period adding the Jones
to his name. In Its congress began to
equip 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 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 off the supply of coal for
Ireland, attempted to capture the earl
of Selkirk. Finally he sailed away,
q
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. On September %, 1879, oc-
Cured the notable encounter between
the Bon Homme Richard and the
Scraps, the latter convoy for fleet
of British merchantmen. Jones' vessel
which had been coasting along the
shores of Ireland and Scotland, fell in
with this fleet Of Marlborough Head.
The two ships began battle at 7:3O on a
moonlight night in the sight of thou
sands Of on-lookers. Each lost half her
men before the Scraps surrendered.

rear admiral, died in Paris in 1892.

THE 0senate committee on inter-
state commerce is having important
hearings at Washington for the dis
cussion of the question Of govern
ment regulation of railway rates.
Prominent railway officials, ship
pers, and representatives of COM
mercial bodies in different parts of
the country have appeared before
the committee and given their
views pro and con. Many repre-
sentatives from the central west,
where the people are greatly inter-
ested in cheap long hauls for wheat
and other products, believe they
would be deprived Of this privilege
If the government fixed the rates.
At the same time it has been shown
that much discrimination, injustice
and eXtOrtiOn exists under the
present method. This is a big
question, requiring great wisdom to
solve it correctly. Railroad men
generally wish to retain the rate
making power, but there are ex-
ceptions. President Mellen, former
president of the Northern Pacific.
now of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, takes the
opposite view. He said:
"The railroads are themselves to
blame for the existing conditions.
Rebates and discriminating rates
will have to be stopped. 1 think
they are condemned bp all sensible
railroad men. Public sentiment.
which President Roosevelt repre-
sents more than any other man, is
Irresistible. I believe LEGISLATION
is inevitable because the railroads
are very far from agreeing among
themselves and there have been
abuses which the public is resolved
shall not exist longer. This means
some additional form of control to
that which now exists

come Of late so very professional. The
nrst workers were practically all anna
tours. Sometimes an exceptionally val
ued worker who happened to be poor in
this worlds goods was allowed free
board to permit him or her to- continue
the work. To-day nine out of ten of the
workers in the largest settlements are
as frankly professional as any other
teachers. Boys going through college
go into the work because they like gym
nastics or because they can get free room
rent and free board. After graduation
men and women alike are salaried as
workers; have even known cases where
settlement work has been looked upon
as resource by those for whom or
binary teaching was thought to be too
difficult. In ten years the situation has
in this respect entirely changed. Very
likely the professionals do their work
great deal better than the volunteers
did. But you are not called upon to adj
mire too greatly their sacrifices-when
they have made none-nor their priva-
tions-when they suffer none
Hence find such cases as Mr.. Stokes

old days when such people as Charles B.

social settlement, as they are still the
type Of it's best product.

education through almost incredible
