FOOD FOR LONG TRIP.
NAVY DEPARTMENT PREPARING
FOR VOYAGE TO PACIFIC.
Bids for Supplies for from 10000 to
5000 Men Asked for-6,oco, 600
Pounds Of Provisions Required
to Feed Sailors.

New York.-Five million pounds of
provisions will be required to feed the
enlisted men of the Atlantic feet on
the voyage to San Francisco, which is
to commence about three months
hence. Bids for this amount have
been asked for, all of the supplies to
be delivered at the New York navy
yard, the deliveries to begin Novem-
Der !.
II is announced that each of the
ships, including those In the torpedo
boat fotilla and the GOLFERS and sup
ply ships when they leave for the Pa
cific will have on board all OF the
provisions necessary for the entire
voyage. But the officers have not
been taken into consideration In these
figures. They will have to make
their own arrangements for board be-
fore they sail.
Nearly everything that a person can
think of to eat or drink, except intox-
icants, is included in the lists OF sup
plies. In making out the lists the
navy department officials took into
consideration INC luSIS tho' Wv S'N'i'0
will be at sea on Thanksgiving,
Christmas, New Years and Washing
'on's Birthday, and special dinners
for those occasions have already been
arranged, as is shown by the large
number of turkeys, plum buildings,
pumpkin pies, nuts. dried fruits and
other delicacies that are named in
the lists of foods required.
There will be between 12,o0e and
| $4,000 enlisted mon on the battle
ships, torpedo boats and auxiliary YES
sells, that are going to the Pacific, and
the Job of figuring out how much FOOD
and OF what kind, was needed Tor
them, was one OF the toughest math'
ematical problems ever turned over
10 the bureau of supplies and accounts
TO solve. The navy department realizes
how long and at times how monoton'
GUS the voyage is going to be, and IL
was determined that so far as the
food was concerned the men would
not have any excuse TO grumble.
Some OF the items in the lists sent
out to the bidders. besides those men
toned, are 100000 pounds OF fresh
beef, 1000, 900 pounds of vegetables
10 include turnips, cabbage, carrots
onions, asparagus. tomatoes and Other
vegetables; 1000, 900 pounds OF flour

fruits, including apples, peaches

immense Apes Die at Sea and Are Dis
posed Of Sailor Fashion.

Portland. Ore.-Tvo immense apes,
captured in the wilds of Siam. would
have been landed at Portland when
the German steamer Arabia, OF the
Portland & Asiatic line arrived from
the orient. had they not contracted
pneumonia and died on the voyage
One died eight days out from Yoke
hama and the other passed away two
days off the mouth OF the Columbia
river. In sailor fashion, they were
buried at sea by the coolie deckhands
who had occupied quarters with the
apes in the forepeak and tried to
nurse them back to health.
The apes stood fully five feet high
when erect, so the officers of the
steamer declare, and they would have
made splendid specimens for zoolog-
ical garden or circus menagerie. The
Chinese are heartbroken over their
death, because they were valued at
about 800 apiece. There were four
missing links" on board when the
steamer pulled out from Hongkong,
and two of them arc still in their
hunks In the forecastle, their more ro-
bust constitutions having withstood
the biting climate of the north Pacific
ocean. The animals will be put ashore

Morgantown, w. Wa freight

broken rail was the cause. The en-

The engineer James Malcolm, of

was penned in looked as if it had been
built for his protection.
So tightly were timbers wedged
about Malcolm that human hands
could not bulge them and he was in
danger of being burned alive, for the
wreck had taken fire and was spread

rendjng.
Fortunately, two sections of the
John Robinson circus were closely fol-
lowing and these were tagged The
keen thoughtfulnoss of Gov. John F.

THREE GEESE ON A SPREE.
Ate Some of Beck's Cider Pulp and
Were Soon Dead to the World.

York, Pa.-Martin Beck, farmer OF
the Conwego hills, came to town with
a tale about some geese owneS by a
neighbor named Beck.
On Beck's farm is cider press, and
it is the custom to throw the pulp into
a heap near by. The farmers geese,
discovering the pile, ate the pulp with
relish. Soon the geese swayed from
side to side and cackled hoarsely, and
Beck and his wife agreed that they
we're sick. Finally one by one they
fell, limp and apparently dead.
Grieving over the loss of three
plump geese. yet remembering that
feathers were worth something, Mrs.
Beck carried them into the house and
began to pluck the feathers. She had
about half finished with the first when
she detected culver in the body and
dropped the goose in establishment.
The movements continued and pres
emily the half naked fowl opened its
eyes. staggered to its feet and started
out through the doorway. The other
two soon afterward also revived.
1t was not until later, when pair
of ducks we're similarly affected, that
the farmer realized what was the mat
ter The pulp, lying in the sun, had
fermented and his poultry had been
indulging in sprees upon "a very fair
substitute for applejack.

valuable treasures which she had lost.
and which we're mailed to the person
that the owner intended them to be

Mrs. O'Bryan had prepared and ad-
dressed tho package to be sert to her
brother in Scranton last Wednesday.
and while on route to the Newark
post Office she dropped IL near the

velope containing the valuables bore
the name and address of the brother.
and the finder, seeing the address, re-
mailed 1t and registered 1t at his own
