Minor scenes and incidents sketched
on the SPOT.

The informal declaration Of Postmaster
General Cortelyou in favor of Keeping
lourth-class postmastcrs I'm Office indeh-
nitely is a mighty tender subject to spring
on the average congressman. These posi-
tons have been the prize spoil Of members
Of the lower house. and the hint of proba-
bic removal from the pie counter generates
all kinds Of congressional woe. II the
cloak room talk in the house may be taken
as Indicative of the congressional view.
many Of the republican members perhaps
a majority OF them, will be willing that the
new rule should become effective after
they have redeemed the pledges made in
last years campaign. A member from ILL.,
nois said: IF I am not permitted 70 re-
deem the promises made last year shall
have TO retire from congress at the end OF
this term. On the other hand, II the presl-
dent will enforce his new policy rigidly.
after have redeemed those promises. / can
stay in congress as long as I care to do 60
If 1t is then understood in my district that
anybody's promises in the matter of post
masterships will be worthless, il will be
impossible to defeat me for denomination"
Almost any middle west member will say
that II is the disappointed applicants for
postmasterships that make him light for
denomination every two years They are
the fellows that are always after us" said
member from Indiana. Five disap-
pointed candidates for postmasterships will
bring out an opposition candidate every
time, and If they are good politlcians-and
they usually are-they can make lot of
trouble for u.s." So II is that when the
present hullabaloo over the new policy is
analysed, it is found to be based to a large
extent on the unwilingness Of members of
congress to have the promises they have
made to constituents set aside. As a COM
promise they are nearly all saying: "Just
give us a chance TO make good this time,
and then put on the screws"

SHE'S A FLOATING TERROR
Millionaire Man Of Peace Builds a
Craft That Can Eat Up 5attIe-
ships
snecIai to The Iierald.


NEW YORK, Nov. 2e.-Anson Phelps
announced yesterday to the Society Of
Naval Architects and Marine Engi-
neers that he had succeeded i'm so Inn
proving his floating fort as to cure its
instability and render it by far the
strongest fighting ship in the world.
Mr.. Stokes has christened his new
monster the ultima" 1t is 270 feet
long, 1870 feet broad, has displacement
Of 10000 tons-twice that of the great
est battleship-has 10000 horsepower,
and can steam, under forced draught,
eight and one-fourth knots an hour. It
will carry two 15-inch guns, sixteen 12-
inch guns, and twenty 3-inch guns.
Each of the 15-inch guns will weigh
1856 tons, or as much as the famous
16-inch gun on Sandy Hook.
Thus equipped, Mr.. Stokes said the
Ultima could destroy any battleship In
the world before the latter could get
close enough to bring her own guns In
range. She is practically four armored
vessels I'm one, and could fight with all
her might when submerged up to her
gun deck, I'm which case she would
show scarcely more freeboard than a
monitor.
II am a man Of peace" said Mr..
Stokes. Some friends have criticised
my designing a war vessel. Study OF
the subject has convinced me that
nothing we can do will SO conduce to
peace as, while seeking to avoid for
eign complications, providing ade-
ouately for our own defense. Naval
battles are more decisive than land
battles"

FAVOR INDIANS TO WIN
FROM CLAREM0NT ELEVEN
SELECT BRAVES AS WINNERS OF
CHAMPIONSHIP
Hempel's Men Are in Excellent Condi-
ton and Are Stronger on Offensive
and Defensive Tactics-Pomona
Weakened by Loss of Goode

The next football game on the tapis
is between the Indian and Pomona
elevens, to be played Thanksgiving day.
The Indians are believed to be the
coming champions of the south, al
though they still have the Claremont
game and the st. Vincent contest 70
win before making the claim.
The redskins, with their weight pos
sess an advantage that the collegians
may not be able to overcome, and the
majority of football enthusiasts are
picking the Riversiders to down the
college men in the games which are
yet to be played.
The Pomona line, according to re-
ports from the Claremont institution,
will be considerably weaker in the COM
ing game than when the Congregational
eleven played the Occidental men,
Goode, the big tackle, may not play and
his absence will weaken the Claremont
team.
Although well balanced, neither the
defense nor offense of the Pomona men
has shown exceptionally strong, while
the Indians at their best present d
stonewall defense and crushing Of
fense.
Many of the Pomona gains against
Occidental were made by the hurdling
propensities of the Claremont backs,
and it remains to be demonstrated how
Hempel will meet the air ship" tactics
of Mobiles men.
Metcalf, the place kicker, may be
able to repeat his performance I'm the
Occidental game and split the space be-
tween the Indian goal posts. The
present year has witnessed more place
kicking than ever before and innumer-
able games have been won by the too
work of individual players.
A kick from the field. barring fiuke,
appears at the present time the most
likely chance for a Pomona score, as
the Indian line stands stronger than the
Claremont forwards.
The University of Southern Califor-
MIA eleven and the st. Vincent team
meet Saturday and local football men
are anticipating a lively time when the
two aggregations get together.
Holmes. although his team has done
no scoring i'll the games thus far, evil
IDENTIFY is not lacking in pointmaking
ability. Fumbling has been fatal to
the u. S. G. prospects, but there has
been shown enough to evidence the fact
that the men are capable OF going
through an opposing line.
The st. Vincent men undoubtedly
took a brace after their defeat by Occi-
dental and are confident that they will
give a good account of thmselves when
they face the varsity aggregation.

Novel Mountaineering

The railway up the Jungfrau has in
troduced one or two novel features into
mountaineering. The descent to the
Mer de Gace is especially unconven-
tional. At present the only installation
is a lift worked by a rope, through a
cutting as dark as night. AS a mode
of travel this cannot be described as
pleasant, but 1t is a new experience;
and just, presumably, that they may
claim to have enjoyed" it, some two
hundred persons have gone by this
primitive means through the black hole
of the Jungfrau in the short time since
the last station of the railway was
completed.-London Globe.

WOMEN HONOR WHITMAN
Granted Permission to Erect Tablet
to the Memory of the
Poet

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The young
women who form the Colonial society
Of Huntington, l.. l., have at last sue
ceeded in properly marking with a
marble tablet the birthplace of Walt
whitman, near that town, after having
been opposed for six months by Frank
J. Rogers, present owner of the his
toric place, who believes that POETRY
writer's" deserve no more fame than a
"man who worked for his bread and
butter.'
The trouble began when the enthusi-
astic Colonial ladies decided that they
would place a tablet at the peak of
the roof of the house, that all who
passed might know that the good gray
poet" was born there May IL, 1873.
People passing might want to stop in
and take a look at the interior of so
famous a place. OF course Mr.. Rogers
would not object, they thought Miss
Jennie Brush, Mrs. Russell Young and
Miss Elizabeth Wood constituted them
selves a committee and called on Mr..
Rogers with a tape measure.
NO" said Mr.. Rogers, who added
that he did not want his lawn or his
bedrooms overrun by curiosity seekers.
They appealed to his patriotism and
to his literary instinct, but Mr.. Rogers
was immovable. He would not even
let them erect a shaft in the yard.
The young women thought hard and
got an idea. They appeared before the
next session of the highway commits
sioners and got permission to erect the
tablet in the road In front of the house.
They had hard work raising funds, for
the design was elaborate and costly,
but succeeded in the end. Yesterday,
was due ceremony, they unveiled the
tablet. 1t stands in front of Mr.. Rog-

A Remarkable Cure

The proceedings of the Royal Soci-
ETY. were not always taken so seriously
as they are now. A hundred and fifty
years ago sailor who had broken his
leg sent to the Royal Society all &C.
count of the remarkable manner in
which he had healed the fracture. His
story was that he had dressed 1t with
nothing but tar and oakum, and was
now able to walk well. This remark
able story naturally caused some ex-
element among the members of the
society. No one had previously sus-
pected tar and oakum Of possessing
such miraculous healing powers. The
society wrote for further particulars
and doubted indeed whether the leg
had been really fractured. The truth
of this part of the story, however, was
proved beyond shadow of a Doubt
Several letters passed between the
Royal Society and the sailor, who con
dnued to assert solemnly that hi,
broken leg had been treated with f.,
and oakum, and with nothing elsa
The society might have remained puz
zled for an indefinite period had no
the sailor added In a postscript to hi
last letter: II forgot to tell your hon
ors that the leg was a wooden one."

22,717A square miles, or 1855, 200
acres! That Is territory as large as
the four States of New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Della

New Jersey! 1t is twice as large as
Belgium! 1t is bigger than Switzer-
land, 1t Is much larger than Denmark,
it Is greater than all Greece!
