AN UNLUCKY SHIP.
She Achieved the Grandest Exploit
Ina Naval History.

She Achieved the Grandest Exploit
Ina Naval History.
The Bonhomme Richard was an IN
lucky ship. Paul Jones himself on
taking command of her at Lorient,
France, wrote a most doleful letter
about her to one of his aristocratic
patronesses In Paris. She was "a
wornout old Indiaman," and her fore
castle is babel" Fourteen diff
ferent languages are spoken in my
torecastle," said Jones, dismayed at
the appearance Of his motley crew.
Two days out at sea the Bonhomme
Richard was fsuleG by her consort, the
Alliance, and had her jib boom and
foretopmast carried away. Jones then
put back to Lorient, perfectly con-
WINGED of the unluckiness of his ship.
But through that accident he found
ia American seamen who had just
been released from English prisons
by exchange. Among them was Rich
ard Dale, whom Jones at once appoint
ed first lieutenant These all volun-
teered into the Richard, Jones prompt
ly discharging enough of his polyglots
to make way for them. Prior to that
he had only about forty Americans.
This addition made 154 fighting Yam
kee seamen, and they were the men
who made the Scraps sick a few
weeks later off the east coast Of Eng
land.
Thus 1t happened that the grandest
exploit In naval history was achieved
by an unlucky ship, and she obtained
the means Of achieving it through a
distressing accident

Literary Notes.

The Conflict" by Emma Wolf. which
Is the novelette, opening the November
number Of The Smart Set, is a story re-
markably new In plot and treatment. 1t
concerns the two distinct personalities
which the heroine, a young married
woman, discovers that she possesses. Her
wonderful alter ego is encouraged and de-
veloped by her, and the strange complica-
ton which results Is logically and skill
fully brought about. Miss Wolf, through
this novelette,, will find herself occupying
very high place among the younger
American writers.
Jack London contributes rafting good
story to this issue one out of his usual
vein, but brimful of interest. 1t Is called
"a Wicked Woman" lnez Haynes Gill
more has real ghost story, 1.-THE Dead
Line, which will create a great deal of
discussion. Dorothea Deakin, in Lance
lot" tells pathetic little story of mar
ried life; and Grace MACEDONIAN Cooke's
strong tale of the Tennessee mountains,
called "Out of Nazareth" makes fine
reading. 1.-THE Helpmeet," by Mary
Tracy Earle, is psychological study, and
"The Beauty of the Law, by Ellis Parker
Butler, is one of the funniest stories of the
year. Other fiction writers are Harriet
Gaylord, Ward Clark, Katherine Metcalf
Rock, J. J. Bell, Amos DeLany. and Ar
thur Stanley Wheeler.
The essay is by Richard LIE Galliende,
whose name is a guarantee of everything
that is beautiful and truly literary. 1t is
entitled 'The World and the Lover. and
while the authors point of view may not
meet with every readers approval, there
Is no gainsaying his clever handling of a
universally interesting theme.
Poems by favorite writers are In evil
dence, and the humor is up to The Smart
Sets high standard.

TIMBER PRESERVATION.

The Most Perfect Method Is Also the
Most Expensive.
Telephone poles nearly always decay
at or just below the ground line. The
upper portion of the pole, permanently
In the air, rapidly drying after rain, Is
practically always dry and is rarely
found decayed The butt of the pole,
deeply buried In the ground, Is in
permanently damp condition, but oxy-
gen being excluded 1t is seldom badly
affected. Close to the ground line the
soil retains the moisture and keeps the
wood constantly damp where 1t Is ex-
posed to the air and to the heat of the
sun, which is just what Its little vege-
table enemies like, but II the albumen
In the wood can be rendered unfit for
food the wood tissues offer practically
no support to fungi. Timber preserva-
ton amounts, then, to poisoning the
food supply of the destructive agencies.
Preservation of timber Is attempted
in three ways-by seasoning, either
natural or artificial; by outward me-
chanical means, such as charring in fire
or the applications of antiseptics on the
surface of the stick, and by impreg-
mating the wood with antiseptics. OF
these the last Is by far the most i'm
portant The most perfect method
which Is also the most expensive-is
the injection of dead oil of coal tar in
to the whole fiber of the pole.-Hart-
ford Times.

WILL HISTORY repeat itself In New Jer-
sey this year and the disaster of the Dem
ocratic party in 1898 be visited upon the
Republican party The hopeful query is
put by the correspondent of a Democratic
paper in New York In 1898 the Demo.
Gratis were in full control; they had all the
organizations, all the Offices all the money
had gerrymandered the Assembly districts
and there were only five Republicans In
the State Senate. Today the Republicans
are in full control; they have all the organ
izatious, all the offices and there are only
four Democrats in the State Senate
History repeats itself when like causes
produce like results. The only parallel
between 1898 and 1906 lies in the great
preponderance of the party In power;
otherwise there is nothing analogous.
The Democratic party came up to the
November election in 1893 loaded down
with sins against the people, and retribu-
ton awaited it at the polls. The race
track laws, the coal combine, the spectacle
OF raee-track starter presiding over the
New Jersey Assembly, the traffic in legis-
lation at Trenton, the misused school fund,
cynical neglect of public interests and the
catering TO all kinds of private interests;
these grievances had accumulated until
they became toe heavy for political party
to carry and the November election in 1898
was Il popular revolution.
The Republican party secured full con-
troll in the State government by the cleo
ton of Governor Griggs in 1895. and II has
made a record since his Inauguration. 1t
had then effected great reforms and cor
rected ali the abuses shown up in the
Senate investigation of 1895
Republican legislation ever since has
been progressive aud consistent. Noscan-
DIAL has attended Republican administra-
ton, its work has been constructive as
well as remedial 1t has splendidly con.

AMONG the fowery utterances of the
New Idea people whereby they hoped to
capture the people at the primaries was
one to the effect that sctuated by desire to
do great good they banded together. One
of the purposes was avowed to be a desire
to bring back to the people their inslien-
able rights Of naming and nominating all
their officers. especially their representa-
tives, county, state and national" With
this avowed purpose before them the New
Idea people went around this county, held
meetings, paraded brass bands, imported
a speaker from Wisconsin and paid for ad
vertisements In newspapers and sent liter
ature through the mails In large quanti-
ties. There was still another plank In
that platform which urged the voters to
support the candidates of the Lincoln
League at the primaries. The people did
vote at the primaries, they retained their
''inaliensble rights" but they cast their
ballots in favor Of the government of pub
lie affairs by the present administration.
They selected delegates who stamped sp.
proval upon the actions Of Assemblyman
Robbins by bidding him to go higher.
They approved the official life of Assem-
blyman Trick by naming him for another
term In the legislative hall. They showed
Enthusiastically their unbounded confidence
in the representatives who heve proved
faithful to their trusts. But even with
the result of the primaries before them,
some Of the adherent Of Colby are not
satisfied but want the rebuke repeated
George Wildes was shown plainly that the
people of Burlington county do not want
him as their member of the state senate,
1t did not, in past years, require club to
beat things into Georges head, but then
time brings changes. A petition has been
circulated asking that he be made an lin
dependant" candidate for that office. 1t
is signed by 101 persons-100 is the num-
Der required. Many of those who have
affixed their signatures will not vote the
ticket after 1t is made. More than one
has said he signed to please the gentleman
who presented the paper. The people do
not want George Wildes any more now
than they did on the day of the primaries.
