Taken all in all, there is perhaps no
nan In the United States, In the service
Of the government or out of II, who Is
in a more enviablc position than Admiral
Dewey. Congress has given him the
rank, pay and allowances OF an admiral
Of the navy, rcviving the rank for his
benefit. lie Is absolutely Independent Of
The Secretary OF the Navy and Of the
President Of the United States.
lie cannot be retired and he cannot be
disciplined by reduction in rank or any
Of the other usual means employed. The
place gives him an annual income Of
$Is,soo.
II he chose to do so, he could close
down his desk. go home, and never turn
his hand over In the way Of work, either
for the navy or n one else, and his
pay and allowances would go on as long
as he lives: but the admiral prefers 10
work and TO work hard.

board, charged with the duty Of devils.

Supersddons Of Sailors

All sailors are supers,itious. and the
legends OF the sea are legion, ranging
from phantom ships to spectral lights

and mastheads. That many Of these leg

the fact that sea harpies are described
by Homer and Hesiod, while according
10 Virgil they plundered Eneas during
his voyage to Italy. The beautiful 81

MURPHY'S DEPOSITION
Wis ln Conspiracy With Ds|ksseanD Woman - Williams Withdrew
 It This Afternoon.

New Haven, Juno 21.-In the way of documentary testimony introduced in the Durant case to-day, the record of what Mrs Delkescamp testified to In the Lathrop divorce case was the
 most important. This took up prac- fically all the morning hours and was resumed this afternoon. At the opening of the session the reading of the deposition of Detective Mur- phy was completed by State Attorney Williams. In this deposition Murphy said he entered into a conspiracy with the Delkescamp woman and Durant to have the woman perjure herself in the Lathrop case. He fur ther said he had trouble collecting money for his services.
 Just before the noon recess, MT Williams asked permission of the court to withdraw the Murphy depo- sition. wherein the statement was made that Durant conspired to have Mrs Delkescarnp commit perjury. Attorney Judson asked for an ex- |planation of this procedure and why he had put his side to the trouble of gong to New York if it was not going to be used.
 Mir Gum, the junior counsel for MT Durant, also said: "Id like to know why was put to the trouble of tramping all over New York city, with boil on my neck. in the hot sun."
 MT Williams said he should not be catechised at this time.
