INCIDENT OF A SEA FIGHT.
Captain of Chinese Warship Drowned
by His Dog, a Ferocious
Brute.

This strange incident of a great
naval battle is told by Commander
McGiffin of one of the Chinese war
ships in the battle of the Yalu, between
the Chinese and japanese fleets in 1894,
says the Chicago Daily News about this
time the Chin Yuen boldly, if some
what foolhardily, bore down on the
Japanese squadron'S line. Just what
happened no one seems to know, but
apparently she was struck below the
water line by a heavy shell-either a
ten-inch or a 13-inch. Be that as it
may, she took a heavy list, and thus
fatally injured, her commander, Tang
Shi Chen, a most courageous, albeit a
most obstinate officer, resolved at least
to avenge himself and charged one of
the largest of the enemy's ships, in
tending to ram.
"a hurricane of projectiles from both
heavy and machine guns swept down
upon his ship The list became more
pronounced, and just before getting
home to his intended victim his ship
rolled over and then plunged, bows
first, into the depths. She righted her.
self as she sunk, her screws whirling
in the air, and carrying down all hands,
including her chief engineer Mr.. Pur.
Wis, shut up in the engine room. Seven
of her crew chung to one of the circu-
lar life buoys kept on the bridge and
were drifted by the tide toward the
coast, where they were rescued by a
junk.
Stories told by these men vary so
much as to be unreliable, but all agree
on one incident: Capt. Tang had a
large dog of most vicious temper, I'M
ruly at times even with his master.
After the ship sunk, Capt. Tang, who
could not swim, managed to get ar oar
or some small piece of wood. This
would have been enough to support
him had not his dog swum to him,
and, climbing on him, forced him to re-
lease mis- grasp. Thus he miseraoly
drowned and the brute shared his
fate-perhaps the only case On record
OF man being drowned by his dog .

But l haven't any kick coming about

an ensign to show us all through the
fortress. Now don't get an ensign
mixed up with a unique, such as showed
us through the Turkish harem. An
English ensign is just as different
from a Turkish unique as you can
imagine. Every man to his place.
You couldn't teach Turkish unique
how to show visitors around an Eng
lish fortress, and an English ensign in
a Turkish harem would bring on a
worlds war; they are so different.
Well, we went through tunnels in the
rock, and up and down elevators, and
all was light as day from electric lights.
and we saw ammunition enough to
sink all the ships in the world, if it
could be exploded in the right place,
and they have provisions enough
stored in the holes in the rock to keep
an army for 40 years, if they didn't get
ptomaine poison from eating canned
stuff.
1t was all a revelation to dad, and
when we got all through, and got out
into the sunlight, we breathed free, and
when dad got his second wind he broke
up the English officers by taking out a
pencil and pieca of paper, and asked
them what they would take for the
rock and it's contents, and move out and
let the American flag float over it.

for treason. only when we got out into
the town there was the whole British
Atlantic squadron lined up, with men
up in the rigging like monkeys, and
every vessel was firing salute, as a
yacht came steaming by.
Dad thought war had surely broke
out, or that some rich American owned
the yacht, but it turned out to be Queen
Alexandria and party of tourists, and
when the bank played God Save the
Queen" dad got up on his hind legs
and sang so loud you would think he
would split hisself, and fellow went
up and threw his arms around dad and
began to weep, and the tears came into
dads eyes. and another fellow pinched
dads watch, and the celebration closed
with everybody getting drunk, and
the queen sailed away.
Say, we are going to Spain on the
next boat, and you watch the papers.
We will probably be hung for taking
Cuba and the Philippines. Yours,

THE BANANA A REAL FOOD
Supplies Animal Heat, Repairs the
Nerves and Builds Up
Muscle,

Professors of dietetics tell us that
the banana is not, as SO many fruits
are, flavor and nothing more, but a
food and source of real nutriment
1t is at once useful and delicious It
not only gratifies the palate, but sup
plies material for combustion and the
maintenance of animal heat, while it
also builds up the muscles and repairs
the worn and threadbare nerves.
The flour made from it in its dried
state is equal in nutritive value to rice,
and how invigorating and sustaining
rice is has been demonstrated in the
recent achievements of the Japanese
Dried and sprinkled with sugar, a form
in which it has been recently intro
duced into this country, the upstart
banana is, weight for weight, as nutri.
tious as the venerable fig.
But it is in the fresh state, clad in
its primrose tunic-the stripping of
OF which is in itself fascinating op-
eratiOn-that the banana chiefly ap-
peals to us. Its creamy succulence and
delicate odor are inviting and its
pleasant sapor is prelude TO good di.
gestion. Dependent as that sapor is
on an ethereal body which the coal-tar
investigators have not yet been able
to initiate by any chemical essence, it
is subtle stimulus to all subsequent
alimeEtary processes. And thus it is
that the banana is an eminently diges
tible food. No sense of oppression OF
drowsiness follows a meal Of it, and
meal of it may be bulky enough.

was started at Utica, n. Y, in 1884,
when at a convention of mechanics a
protest was adopted against the en-
ployment of prison labor in competi-
ton with free workmen. But this
mild protest for fairer dealing was fol-
lowed by few events of Importance to
labor for 10 or IL years, at the end of
which time the Industrial Congress of
the United States was held in New
York, in the year 1845. In this year,
also, was organized the New England
Workingmen's association and the
New England Protective union-organ-
izations which appear to have stood
for almost everything and anything
that promised a change and to mem
bership in which any person of proper
age. male or female, was admitted.
The wide latitude OF these associa-
tions apparently did much to encour-
age the establishment of the numer-
Gus narrower and specific trades
unions which subsequently sprung up
in all parts of the country. Those in
terested in the labor movement OF the
time as thinkers and leaders began to
perceive in this inclination to narrow
ness the menace of final dissolution,
and the necessity of national body
began again to be discussed. AS re-
suit, the National Labor union was
organized, but its efforts were largely
diverted to political ends, with the re-
suit that the hopes Of its founders
were never realized.
But the seed Of organized uDionism
was sown and was likely to sprout In
almost any corner. The organization

Another good sweater that comes

Hand-knit sweaters are often seen, and
are not so very expensive. They are

VICTIM OF TIGHT ILAcINC.
Curious Warning on Antique Tomb
stone n Scotch Burial
Ground.

A few miles from Amman, in the
world-famed burial ground of Spring
Well, celebrated in song and story in
connection with the tragic death or
Fair Helen, of Kirkconnel Lea. there
is to be seen still in a state of good
preservation a curious old tombstone,
upon which is sculptured a full bust
figure of woman with a waist that any
lady in search of slim figure might well
envy.
But this tombstone, writes a corre-
pondent of the Dundee News, was not
erected to encourage vanity in the
feminine mind, but for the purpose OF
warning ladies who were inclined to in
dulge in tight lacing CT the fate that
awaited them-as the lady over whose
remains this unique tombstone WAS
erected had fallen victim Of this fasna
ionable tightness Of the waist. On an
other part of the stone there is mount
ed figure supposed to represent horse
man hurrying to seek doctor to relieve
the sufferer.

of the Knights of Labor was perfected
in secret in 1869 by the leaders of
dissolved local union of garment work
ers in Philadelphia. This secrecy
which it was thought best to maintain
because labor organizations in the past
had failed by reason of the disapprovaI
of employers, was so effectually con-
tinued for IL years that few outsiders
fully understood it's purpose. Member
ship in the society grew phenomenally,
until 100000 members were claimed,
and branches existed in all parts of
the country. Admittance to the order
was granted, however, quite promiscu-
ously, and all persons over 16 years of
age, except liquor dealers, gamblers.
bankers and lawyers were eligible. The
government of the organization was
vested in local, district, state and ma
tional trade assemblies and was OF
centralized farm. But it did not ac-
complish the specific results aimed at
by the various trades. In course of
time, moreover, it adopted a political
platform and its aims became too COM
pick and involved to suit some of tho
lOCdl uulOuS.
Seceders from the knights of Labor
and others formed the Amalgamated
Labor union md at convention at
Terre Haute, md, in 1881, this organi-
zation was merged with another of
similar name-the Knights of Indus
try. At subsequent convention at
Pittsburg in the same year, the name
Federation of Organized Trades and
Labor Unions of the United States
and Canada" was adopted. This fed
Grafton in turn merged itself with an
Independent trades union congress,
which met at Columbus, O., in Deem
Der, 1886, and the joint organization
was given the title, the American

Although trades unionists deserve
the credit for adding Labor day to
the list of our holidays, the day has
now a significance beyond that of a
mere holiday for organized labor,
which, after all, is but one part of the
world of commerce and toll to which
the day now belongs-not only as
day of recreation, but as symbol of
the public recognition of the honor
due to workers, as an indication of ne
place which honest toll holds in the
hearts of the American people. The
legislative recognition of the day was
without doubt an important factor in
paving the way for federal recognition
of labor, the climax of which was the
act of congress of February, 1903,
which provided that the presidents
cabinet should include the chief OF an
independent bureau of commerce and
labor, whereas the United States de-
partment of labor, organized in 1885,
had been merely one of the bureaus of
the department Of the interior.
