ONLY WOMAN SHIP KEEPER.
Sackets Harbor Navy Yard In
charge of Woman.
Some rIember Of Present Keepers
Family Has Been Stationed Here
Since Navy Yard Was Established
nany Years Ago.

Women are steadily encroaching up
on the occupations of men. and now
another position heretofore filled by
man has gone to one Of the fairer
sex. The charge and care Of govern
ment naval establishment, almost for.
gotten, has been turned over to her,
and for the first time in the history
Of the American navy a woman has
the rank of "ship keeper"
The woman is Mrs. Albert H. Met.
calfe. She has been placed in charge
of the navy yard at Sacketts Harbor,
N. Y, on Lake Ontario not far from
the St. Lawrence, and will receive .
salary of s365 year.
Albert H. Metcalfe, keeper of the
yard since 1868, died recently. and his
position was given TO his widow. The
Sacketts Harbor Navy Yard Is not
big establishment. 1t consists OF an
acre and q half of ground. on which
there are half dozen small buildings
and a few guns used in the war Of
1872.

1t used to be prominent place.
and shortly after the close of the war
ship-of-the-line, then the biggest
type Of war craft built, equivalent Of
the first-class battle-ships OF modern
times, was planned, and the building
begun at Sacketts Harbor. The vessel
was to have been the New Orleans.
The work progressed slowly. how.
ever, and was finally abandoned, but
the hull of the big vessel remained up
on the stocks. Away back, probably
along in the '40's or sos. a man
named Metcalfe was appointed ship
keeper. In 1868 he died. and his son.
Albert H.. succeeded him in the posi-.
tion. Some years ago all that was
left of what was to have been the New
Orleans was torn down; but the posi-
ton and title of the keeper remained.
Keeper for Thlrty-eisht Years.
Albert H. Metcalfe watched the gov.
ernment belongings around Sacketts
Harbor for thirty years, and then
died. During all the years the Bu-
reau of Yards and Docks OF the Navy
Department has regularly submitted
an estimate Of 1865. to Congress for
the annual salary Of the ship keep
er" at Sacketts Harbor. and that Is
probably the only place where the
name "ship keeper" appears In an
Official way on the records.

Thus passes a character known in

disputed, that he knows more peo-

For fifty years he has travelled up

say whether it has been successful or
not Conditions at the Point are differ
ent than they are at any other college
in America, and when you have five
hundred or more young men together,
who are enjoying the best of health, or,
might say, just bubbling over with
animated spirits, yon must expect to
hear of most anything, especially as
they are not permitted to leave the
reservation but once during the four
years of their cadetship. and for two
months at the end of their second year.
What have mentioned in this paper
are facts which mark the routine of
cadet life from September until June.
From June until September the cadets
are camped in tents and perform the
duties of soldier in every respect
These tents are on the parade ground
about hundred yards distant from
the cadet barracks, but for the three
months that they are in camp, they are
forbidden to enter the barracks. There
are many pleasant features connected
with the camp life of the cadets, which
l would like to mention, but time will
not permit.
The object l have in reading this
paper, is to give you a true conception
of the daily routine as followed by th'
cadets at the military academy, to tr.
and convince you that they are al

REVERSES FORMER OPINION

A decision concerning the operation OF
foreign corporations in the state Of Utah
was rendered by the supreme court yes
terday, the decision entaiIing a reversal
of q former decision of the court on the
same point
The case was that of the A. Booth

The company sued him TO recover on a
contract for good supplied to him. Vie
gand pleaded that the company was q
foreign corporation that had not COM
was, therefore, without a claim TO the
protection of the Utah laws. The lower
court found for the company and Vie

The supreme court at that time con-

McCarty dissented, the supreme court re-

The new opinion holds, in effect, that

The first consignment to arrive in the
local markets since Christmas was re-

a general rule trade in fish lines ono pun

than during any other season Turkeys
are in demand, making the call for fish
light The recent holidays were an ex-
ceptiOn to this rule, the merchants say
ing the business done during the Christ
mas season was greater than recorded
at any other time during the year just
closed. The markets were cleaned of all
supplies. With the exception of a few
shipments of halibut and salmon no re-
ceipts had arrive yesterday. The as
sOrtment received includes excellent
qualities of assorted fish.
The new offerings are rock cod found

Halibut remains at 10 cents.
Poultry is advancing. few chickens
are shown. Hens bring 1712 cents per
pound; springs, 20 cents, and broilers 2212
cents per pound. These are from Utah
barnyardS. Turkeys are scarce but deal
erS are not bothered greatly by this. as
there is practically no demand The habit
of eating turkey is confined 10 the hOli-
days. Prices of all meats are stationary.
Wholesale advances in mutton and veal
have not affected the retail quotations.
The vegetable markets are recovering
from the holiday rush slowly. Brussels
sprouts are selling at an advanced price
Before Christmas these sold at two
pounds for % cents They are now firm
a 20 cents straight. An inferior quality

Wholesale markets are shaking off their
Observation-Disclosures lethargy. A car of
the famous Santa Paula lemons arrived
yesterday. Shipments of California veg
etables will commence to arrive regularly
in a day or so. The market is strong as a
whole, showing a tendency to climb in
certain lines. An advance Of p cent has
