THE SCHOONER GRANT.
Damage is Not So Great as at First
 Thought

Manager Dewell has received some further information from the New Ha- ven schooner George M. Grant, which came so very near being wrecked near Cape Henry few days ago. The schoon- CT is now on the ways at Newport News and an examination has shown that the keel is not gone, as was at first report ed There is a broken section we'll aft and the stem Is gone, but none of the blanks are smashed.
 It is believed that the repairs will not exceed an outlay of $5,OOo. Temporary repairs will be made and the vessel will come north where permanent repairs will be made.

removed from its original site. but
services were still held in 1t.
Then for many years it was used
as a stable, and rapidly passed into
decay. At various times plans for
the preservation of the building were
discussed by Indiana Methodists, and
in 1902 the venerable Bishop Waldon.
Of Cincinnati, in an address at the
deputy camp-meeting, in Jefferson
county, suggested that measures
should be taken to prolong the ex-
istence of the Oldest church of the de-
nomination in the state.
Committees were appointed to raise
funds and arrange for the restoration
of the building to it's original site.
The logs composing the church and
the original site of the church were
purchased. 1t was with great diff
ficulty that the exact location was
discovered, but finally the church was
placed back over its old found alton.
The restored church was carefully
weatherboarded and shingled to pre-
serve the logs from the weather.
The interior has been restored to
its original condition. The church
was rededicated in August. 1904, with
imposing ceremonies.

YOUNG COLONEL IN DILEMMA
Ways Of War Were a New Thing to
His Understanding.

At the Army and Navy club in
Washington a number Of veteran OFF,
GERS were telling stories, when Gen.
Chaffee told this anecdote of Gen.
Carr, who died in New York some
years ago:
1t appears that Gen. Carr, at the
outbreak of the civil war, had left
Troy to take command of regiment.
The engagement in which, as colonel,
he first figured was at Big Bethel. His
regiment had been halted for rest
and refreshment in a pleasant place
and had not yet experienced the ex-
citement of skirmish. 1t happened
however, that confederates were lii
ambush in the immediate neighbor-
hood and from a safe hiding place
they opened fire on the northerners.
Carr so the story runs, instantly put
spurs to his horse and dashed up to
q group of officers. Excitement and
bewilderment were apparent upon his
young face as he approached the
party.
"They are firing upon my re@f-
ment!" he shouted. "My God! Now
what is to be done?"-Harpers

Father Hagen Appointed to the vatl-
can Observatory.

The Vatican observatory now has
an American director in the person
of Rev. DR.. John George Hagen, the
Jesuit astronomer who until a short
time ago was chief astronomer at
Georgetown university, Washington.
Father Hagen was appointed by Pope
Plus X. to this position on the recon-

uit order at Is. and when he had fin
ished the curriculum in the Jesuit
House of Studies he was sent to the

matics and astronomy, for which
he showed an aptitude even before
he entered the order. He studied
theology under the English Jesuits,
then came to this country in 1880. He
was appointed director of Georgetown
observatory eight years later.
The accurate laws of the variation
of stars are credited to Father Hagen.

able Stars" in five series, comprising
240 charts and more than 10000
stars. This work represents IS
years of observation by night and cal
culation by day.

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agred with her and her husband. She
writes:
ely husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so l could not attend to
my housework- of us using cof-
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
"One morning the grocers wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
l took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
"But / took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used q cup of
it since. You should have seen the
change in us and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after l began Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good, which can't be said of
coffee.
"a lady visited us who was always
half sick. l told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it, boiling it thoroughly for Is min
utes. and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the
flavor and food quality" Name given

 Over nearly all the western plains and desert mountain sections where there Is lack of natural timber, the cottonwood has thrived when planted, and in most sections it has been found in some quantity along the streams where no other tree would grow except with infinite care. These clumps of cottonwoods have been greeted with joy by desert travellers and the caravans of the plains. fur nishing shade and wood. and sometimes
