WRITES TO SECRETARY OF NAVY
Experience Was Similar to That of Many Other Officers Returning
 After a Cruise.

Washington, D. C.-As a matter of justice to himself as we'll as to other naval officers similarly situated, Commander Cameron MGR. Winslow has written to the secretary of the navy letter protesting against the sensational and injurious articles which have been published in some of the newspapers of the country con corning alleged smuggling by himself at the time of his detachment from the U. s. S. Charleston, at San Diego, Cal, July II last.
 Captain WinslOWS experience was similar to that of many other naval of ficers returning to their own country after a long cruise in foreign waters, in that he was charged with having sought to eyade the payment of du- ties on large quantities of expensive wines and thousands of high grade cigars and other table luxuries as well as on curios of great value secured abroad
 The facts are very different. accord ing to the statement made to the de- partTnent by Commander Winslow. He said his personal property was neces- sarily packed in a number of small boxes to facilitate handling. They contained his household effects, such as blankets. bed and table linen tow els, pictures, photographs, books and rugs Gin all a considerable quantity and purchased in the United States), and part of the remaining stores which he had on the Charleston as necessary for the cabin mess.
 Commander Winslow shows that, so far from making any effor. to conceal the landing of these goods. they were, as matter of fact. landed at the GUS tom house under the eye of a customs representative and sent directly to the railroad station without any thought that this remnant of cabin supplies would be considered dutiable.
 When he learned. later in the day, and indirectly, to the contrary. Con- mander Winslow informed the collec- tor of the nature of the contents of the boxes, adding that he did not be- lieve that they were duitable, but that if there was the slightest question he preferred to pay the duty in full. He says he supplied complete list to the collector, and paid in any case where there was doubt in his own mind as to whether the articles were pur- chased in New York or foreign coun- try, the total amount paid being small.

MAN AND HIS WAYS.
Fertile Brain Has Evolved a New
 Style of Cradle.

A new cradle has been invented and by . man. Which latter state ment is dedundancy-for no up-to- date woman would really ever think of inyentsng anything so pernicious to her infants welfare. Has she not be- come enlightened to the dreadful ills of that time-honored institution of our ancestors? Dare she imperil the intellect that is to sway the twen- ueth century by untimely juggling" in its embryo stage? Poor modern babe! When colic's gripes assail, it may not know the luxury of steady tramp swung across fathers shoul- der-strange to say. men do not jeer at this dictum of the new mother hood-much less will it experience the bliss of being lulled to rest in a wooden-slatted cradle or fluffy bassi- net, swayed by the foot of a won- drous being who swings and croons, swings and croons, till baby woes are merged in blessed sleep. Its maker claims that sideways rocking is, in- deed injurious to babykins, but to his eyes, not his brain. Therefore has he constructed cradle that swings lengthwise, and is shaped like boat,

ENTiCED BY THE BAR.
Strenuous Actions Mildly Explained
 by the Minister.

Many stories are told of the ec- centric doings and sayings of an old clergyman who lived in Maine some years ago. At one time there had been fight among some men, one of whom was seriously hurt A trial took place, and the old minister who had seen the affray was sum- noned as witness.
 What was Salson doing?" was the first question:
 "Oh, he was slashing around"
 Well, sir. just what do you mean by that?''
 Why, he was knocking about him here and there.'
 Now, sir, kindly tell us plain ly what Salson did to this man.
 Why, he-he enticed him. said the old minister slowly He enticed him with crowbar. He used the crowbar to persuade the man-to en- tice him. and by series of pokes and blows he succeeded in doing it, said the minister, mildly

WESTERN MEN IN NEW YORK.
Brains of Mountain and Prairie in De-
 mand in the Financial Center.

Ever since the early days, when D. o. Mills, J. B. Haggin and James R.. Keene "emigrated" from California to New York, the metropolis has been drawing largely on the west and south for it's supply of men who do things" Theodore P. Shonts, both southerner and westerner, who has undertaken to solve New York's great transit prob lem, is the latest importation in re- sponse to the call of the east.
 The promptness with which Thos F Ryan, of Virginia, turned the Equit- able Life Assurance Society over to its policyholders, who now elect a ma Jority of its Board of Directors, and divested himself of the control of the stock which he bought from Jas. H. Hyde, and the success of the new management of the Society under the direction of President Paul Morton, have created a demand for the strong men of the south and west that is greater than ever before. Under the Morton management the Equitable has made better showing than any other insurance company in the way of i'm proved methods, economies and in- creased returns te policyholders.

Tip from the Saqe.

Well, yawned the sage of the park bench, this business of chasing dogs around the town and taking them to the pound may be all right in some ways, but it certainly is wasting a lot of valuable power"
 Power?' calculated the park DO. Hceman in surprise
 Yes, power. When a dog is in a good humor he wags his tail, doesn't he?"
 Believe he does"
 Well, now, if we could keep all the stray dogs in good humor and stand them in row and let them wag their tails from morn till night, why. man. there would be enough power general ed to run trolley line Niagara wouldn't be in it. Wonder to me some genius don't try to harness those wags."

Vacation.

The secret of rest is to get rid of detail for time. Why is 1t that a sea voyage is regarded as the best of tonics? Simply because the entire change of surroundings wipes out the mass of complications attendant upon the daily routine of the ordinary worker. We all need occasional free dom from the bondage of the tiny strings that bind us to wearing tasks The man who realizes this and plans bis vacation accordingly makes no mistake.
