New York, July 17.-SenatOrT Thorn

just celebrated his 72d birthday an
niveTsaTy, remarked:
Il am y years old That is a great
many days and months and years,
some Of them fruitful, some barren,
but none Of them worth the while. 1t
could have been so much better-or
at least 50 different from what it is.
If had it to do over again I would
model my political life along other
lines
Would you have the gears come
back for another CHANGER" he was
asked.
NO" was the reply. Il would not,
but I would do much differently"
How differently"
Il should rather not say replied
the senator. 1T would lead to deyel-
opments."
The Equitable scandal was men
toned and Senator Plat exclaimed
warmly:
My friend, Mr.. Depew, is too
great a man to remain down in this
connection He will rise again. Stories
that have connected his name with

friends know him. I am glad that

Largest Ship Ever in 'Frisco's Port


From San Francisco Bulletin.
There is only one vessel afiOat on
the seas Of the world larger than the
steamer Dakota, which now lies moor
ed at Broadway wharf discharging
cargo. That larger vessel is the Bal
tic, which is now making regular trips
across the Atlantic, flying the flag Of
the White Star Steamship company.
The Dakota, though a sister ship Of
the Minnesota, which came into this
harbOr a few months ago on her way
to Seattle TO take up regular runs on
her route from that port to the ORR
ent, is considerably larger In tonnage
The big vessel got OF the harbOr,
making a voyage from New York to
this port, around Cape Horn in fifty
three days.
The Dakota measures $50 feet from
stem to stern, has a breadth Of %
feet inches and is SIS feet from her
keel to her upper deck Loaded to
her PlimsOI mark, she has a draught
Of forty feet, and so loaded she has
displacement OF $3.50 tons, though
when she came into the harbor she
had a draught Of twenty-seven feet
six inches, 50 light was the load show
ed in her hold.
The vessel is built according to
American and British laws for for
eign-gOing passenger steamers, and
she is given the highest rating by
LlOyds. She is practically nOn-sink-
able, made so by her double bottom,
which is six feet deep and divided
into thirty water-tight compartments.
There are FIVE steel decks, extending
the entire length Of the ship, and
above the upper one Of these are four
others in a superstrUcture amidships
which is designed for passenger &C
commodatiOns. The bridge is eighty
nine feet above the keel She is
driven by twin triple-expansion en-
gines that give her a speed Of four
teen knots

TORIES WE'LL TOLD.

An unopened letter in a John street
chOphOuse has aroused the interest Of
the customers A few days ago a
stranger hurried up to the cashier
He took out letter bearing a special
delivery stamp.
This letter is addressed to me- he
said, and has money in it But I don't
want to open it. You lend me a lit
tie on Il and I'll leave it with you as
collateral"
Astonishing as the proposition was,
the cashier was so impressed by the
honesty Of the mans appearance that
he did not laugh
Il tell you that the envelope has
money in lit the man repeated;
more than I want from you. Let me
have SO and take thet envelope"
The cashier thinks he must have
been hypnOtized- At all events he
gave the man the money.
''IlT be in tomorrow and pay it,
the man said as he handed over the
envelope.
In his drawer the cashier keeps the
envelope The man has not returned.
The cashier cannot open the letter,
addressed as ii is to another, without
laying himself open to probable ar
rest So he can only keep the col

green paths lead away under over
arching boughs into garden of prim
orderliness Here of an afternoon
black-robed nuns pace back and forth;
let us hope in meditation fancy free.
The meditation appears quiet enough,
the faces are un-Chicagoey. Just be-
yond the wall rows of railway tracks
extend, but some spell Of the place
seems laid over locomotive and cars,
for almost noiselessly they pass the
convent grounds.
II one were to mount the wall, one
might see, perhaps, the smoke from
the chimneys of South Chicago, the
glow cast on the sky by the steel mills
over that way, but no one cares to
essay the wall or search for this view;
one wishes to steep oneself in the
Stiffness and serenity. One requires no
argument or exhortation, the silent in
fluence of the silent sisters pacing to
and fro is all that is needed. One finds
the flowers and trees of this accident
ally-ccme-upon park more restful than
the Haunting beauties of the public
gardens.
The fancy comes that the flowers,
too, are nun-like, chastened, unobtrus-
i've. In the public gardens the radiant
coxcomb is now dominant; here, white
cosmos on high feathery boughs shine
like stars; there scarlet sage is af1ame,
here purple asters.
A subdued and subduing spot. Well
