NAMING A VESSEL.
Why President Arthur Would Not
Call IL the Concord.

While General Arthur was president
and during one of the summers Of his
administration he was on board the
Dispatch at Newport, and Secretary
of the Navy Chandler was Fostering
him to consent to naming the new dis
patch boat, afterward the Dolphin, the
Concord. after the first battle Of the
Revolution. General Arthur was dis
posed to quiz Chandler about his pro-
posed name. lie preferred the name
Dolphin as being more suggestive Of
speed at sea. When Chandler argued
the Importance Of keeping in mind the
heroic resistance of the colonial mill
tia and the brilliant opposition offered
to Pitcairn's men General Arthur ask
ed him:
"what is 1t that you propose to call
this shipT"
1.-THE Concord" answered Chandler,
giving the approved New Hampshire
pronunciation.
There" retorted Arthur, inviting the
attention Of Captain Reeder. "Do
you hear that? Conquered. Do you
think that a good name to give a ship
of-war? Then, suppose you change the
, pronunciation and call 1t Concord, just
as spelled. Does it not strike you,
, Chandler, that there is a degree OF
Concord in the presence of a vessel OF
| war;"
The new ship was called the Dol
phin, but the Concord appeared after
General Arthur had ceased to have In
fuence in naming the ships Of the
navy.

Farmer Killed by Train.

Lincoln, Sept. 1O.-John Barrett, a
wealthy retired farmer, who recently
removed to Lincoln, died at st. Eliza

dent In which his right leg was cut
off below the knee and the left leg
badly mangled. Barrett was going to
Davcy on the northwestern train and

was slowly destroying his healthy and

to be much better, and when the physi-
clan came to see him he noted the Inn

Froude asked whether it vas likely
that he would be able to go back to his
work again. On hearing that this was
impossible he said, "If that is the case,

ONE MORE IN CABINET.

1t is understood that President
Roosevelt, in his message at the open
ing of congress, will urge that body
to create a department of mines. with
its head member of the cabinet. A
bill for that purpose is to be introduce
ed on the first day of the session.
Only four persons,-the heads of
the state, treasury. and war depart
ments, and the attorney general-sat
down at President Washington's coun-
Gil table. A secretary of the navy
came in John Adams time; the post
master general was advanced to cab
met grade in Jackson's days. and a
secretary of the interior came in Tay-
lor's presidency. Those seven officials
constituted the presidents advisers
until long after the civil war.
A secretary of agriculture was cre-
ated in the latter part of Cleveland's
first term, and a secretary of COM
merce and labor came two years ago.
Thus the cabinet which started out
with four members II and a half de-
cades ago has been increased to nine.
If Roosevelt gets a secretary of min
ing he will have obtained two new
cabinet departments. which will mean
that he has broken the presidential
record in a new place-Leslie's Week

EXPOSITION IN INDIA.

Consul General Patterson, of Cal
cutta, furnishes a prospectus of the
Indian Industrial and Agricultural Ex-
hibition to be held at Benares, about
the time the Indian congress meets in
that city in December next. It is
stated that the exhibition Is intended
to give an idea of the present condi-
tion of Indian industries and agricul-
ture and the possibilities of their fu-
ture development.
1t will aim to bring together speci-
mems of the natural products of India
and modern appliances by which In
dian industries may be improved. Mr..
Patterson says there is a large field
in India for American agricultural
machinery that can be moved from
place to place. as the farms in India
are small. He believes that the COM
ing exhibition at Benares will afford
an excellent opportunity to place har-
vesting and other machinery before
the people of India, and that such ex-
hibition Of American appliances will
create n market for them.

No Whitewash There.

A Missouri editor who grew tired of
welding the whitewash brush in the
matter of obituaries, decided to re-
form and tell the truth just once. He
commented as follows upon the death
of well known citizen: Died,
aged 26 year, 8 months and 13 days.
Deceased was mild-mannered pirate
with a mouth for whiskey and an eye
for Doodle. He came here in the
night with another mans wife and
joined the church at the first chance.
He owed us several dollars for the
paper, meat bill and you could hear
him pray six blocks. He died singing.
Jesus Paid it ALL" and we think he
is right, as he never paid anything
himself. He was buried in an asbes-
tos casket, and his many friends
threw palm leaf fans in his grave as
he may need them. His tombstone
will be a favorite resting place for
hoot owls.

COSTS MORE TO BUILD.

Tariff on lumber has made it cost
more to build homes today in the west,
the home of the pine forest, than ever
before.
Canadian timber just across the
border, is awaiting market. The tar
iff wall stands between that timber
and the American homebuilder. With
in the past two years the price of
building material has increased 25 per
cent.
The sawmill corporations on the
Pacific coast are almost half CEN
tury old, and yet they must be pro-
tected as Infant industries" and the
poor man, building him a modest
home on the installment plan, is pay
ing to fatten the octopus.
Why should such ruinous policies
be upheld to the detriment of the
American masses? Why should con-
gress heed the voice of the big cor
poration which is fattening on the
masses, instead of needing the masses
struggling against such oppression?
It costs less to produce lumber now
than 25 years ago. Labor has not in
creased in price, methods have i'm
proved, conveniences have been null
tiplied, and yet the cost of lumber is
constantly increasing. 1t is the oc-

The strongest men in the nation are
