arts OF statecraft that one of his first
acts after his selection to head the
fleet became known, was to win the
friendship of Yamamoto, and to make
clear that no thought of impending
hostilities disturbed his mind
Evans during his fighting life has
enjoyed unique distinction. He is
adored by his men, and he has also
known how to hold the favor of Wash
ington.
He began fighting in the civil war
when he was still In his teens, and
completed his record of actual HOSTILE
ties by the great work he did with the
Iowa at Santiago, when Sehley and his
, commanders were giving the Dons the
defeat that virtually ended the war.
In the interval, and since that time,
he has rendered the country every
kind of service.
If somebody was wanted to scare a
South American republic that needed
cautioning, but not actual punishment.
it was Fighting Bob" for the service.
Surprising that Emperor William or
some other potentate was to be enter
tanned In foreign waters, the imme-
diate demand of Washington was to
get on the job the shrewd Yankee tar,
who in his bluff hearty way could say
the kind of things that pleased, but
who with shrewd common sense never
made a mis- AXE and uttered a senti-
ment that could be used against him
or his county.
Evans is always spoken of as the
Yankee tar, but In this case the use OF
the word is national, not sectional. for
the ideal officer Of the navy is not
New Highlander, He was born in Sir-
einia in fact. He had to fight his way
into the navy, for his father died when
he was ten years old. and he had no
one TO aid him in his ambitions. He
did have grit in abundance, however,
and he prevailed upon William Fl.
Hooper, congressional delegate from
Utah, to get him an appointment from
that territory providing he would go
there long enough to get residence.
1t was while en- route for Utah that
train was attacked by Indians. and the
hoy. disoheying orders. got into the ac-
tion. An arrow from an Indians bow
pinned his leg to the side of his horse
so that It had to be cut out.
Evans went to the Naval academy
in 1860, and year later came the out
break of the civil war The mother of
Robley demanded that he resign from
the United States service and fight for
the south. His brother had espoused
the cause OF the CoNfederacy
But Robley decided in favor of
Washington, and announced his de-
termination to stand for the union. 1t
was a decision that cost him many
heartburnings. for it was many years
before his mother forgave him,
His brother fought gallantly for the
lost cause and was twice wounded

SPLENDID RACE OF MEN.
Natives Of the Friendly Islands Of
Magnificent Physique.

THE natives of the Tonga, or
Friendly islands, off the east coast of
New Zealand. are the finest In ply
sique of any on EARTH" said e. A.
Powell, Of Cleveland. Mr.. Powell Is
returning from business trip to
Australia, where he visited several
groups of the Pacific islands. 1.-THE
average height of the males is five
feet ten inches. Many of them are
over six feet. They weigh from 100
to 300 pounds and are very straight,
being built in proportion. The women
average q greater height than the
women Of America. They have fine,
strong figures and average from 100
to $50 pounds in weight They are of
a copper color. straight haired and
with features which made the Greeks
famous l firmly believe they are the
original Maoris, while the natives of
New Zealand are smaller race-ap-
parently mixture with the Monaghan
race. The islands are crescent shaped
and mostly coral. There Is Leither
wealth nor poverty on the islands.
Peace and contentment are in evidence
and the tribe is exceeding virtuous.

Will LEAD SQUADRON
FIGHTING BOB" TO COMMAND
FLEET FOR PACIFIC.
Rear Admiral Evans Is, with Exception
Of Dewey, Americas Best Known
Sea Fiehter-RenoWned
In Peace and War.

Washington.-Rear Admiral Robley
d. Evans, Liam OF war, has just rem
dered the nation peace service.
When the news travelled to Japan
that the grim old fighter, who has been
picked to lead around the Pacific the
huge feet of American battleships, that
was the basis of all kinds OF war talk,
had hobnobbed with the Japanese ad.
mtral, Yamamoto, and assured him
that any talk of war between Toxic
and Washington was merely midsum-
mer nonsense. Nippon felt relieved and
treasured.
Japan knows Evans, IA fact his fame
has gone all over the world. Barring
only Admiral Dewey, he is the most
famous man In our navy, not even ex-
cepting the hero of Santiago, Admiral
Schley, who, having passed from act
i've service. is not the factor he once
was.
When the great feet starts for the
Pacific Rear Admiral Evans will CON-
mand the finest squadron of battle
ships that were ever at one time under
the command of any naval officer.
From his flagship, the Connecticut. he
will command the movements of a
company Of fighting craft such as only
England could bring together.
Evans was picked for the work be-
cause he is the reliable man of the
navy. Just as Funston is sent for to
do all kiRds of work that falls to the
lot of the army, 1t is Evans who is Sc
lected to handle the difficult matters
that confront the naval arm of the
sefyice.
There is always assurance that he
will discharge his duty with courage
and patriotism, and with tact and di-
plomacy should his mission become a
delicate one.
1t is significant of his skill in the

NORWAY MOUnHS
GREAT COMPOSER

Christiania, Sept. 5.-The death of
the famous composer, Edward Hagerup
Greig, is regarded as a national be-
reavement, and his funeral on Sep
TENDER will be attended by repre-
sentatives of many public bodies.
Part of Ibsen's Peer Gynt, the incl
dental music of which was composed
by Greig, was especially inserted in
the program at the national theater
last night. The scene selected was
the one ending with the death of
Aase This music first brought Greig
into national fame The performance
was attended by Queen Maud of Nor
way, Queen Alexandra of England,
the dowager empress of Russia and
Princess Victoria of England. The
large audience gave many evidences
of it's grief
The cause of Greig's death was lung
trouble of long standing. The body
will lie in the state museum building
prior to its cremation at Moellendal,
near Bergen.

VARIOUS KINDS OF COINAGE.
TSsnty-slx Different Monetary units
Are In Use.

Twenty-six different monetary unftx
are used by the 4S principal countries
of the world. Thus, Great Britain
uses the sovereign or pound sterling;
France and six other countries Of Eu-
rope use q unit equal to the franc;
and Canada and the United States use
the dollar. In value these different
units range from "A to 494.33 cents of
money Of the United States. They
are represented In their turn by coins
the values Of which are either multi
Piles or are fractional parts OF the
value OF their own chief units, and
there are no doubt at least 200 such
different coins, not one of which
seems to have value equal to that of
any commonly known unit Of weight,
as the gram, for example, or the
ounce OF gold, although 45 OF these
4s countries have accepted gold as
their standard measure of values. In
the coinage OF the world there seems,
indeed, to bs little that Is logical or
reasonable. Adoption of a single
monetary unit or base, II not OF an
universal system of coinage to be
used in all commerce between the ma
items, suggests e. w. Perry in Moody's
Magazine, would be a long step in
that evolution through the centuries,
because there has been no concerted,
well planned and persistent effort to
remove the evils of the existing dis
order.

Hot or Cold Water.

II is q debatable question whether
it is wise practice to drink cupful
of hot water Immediately X?on rising
every morning. The hot-water fends
fancy that they cannot live without
their morning drink, but there are re-
liable physicians who claim that this
practice is facilitating to the stomach
and that it cannot fail to do injury.
The habitual use of cold water is an
excellent habit to form. 1t is natural
to drink cold water. Cold water is a
tonic to the stomach, as it is to the
skin. 1t gives tonicity to the mucous
walls of the stomach. The practice of
taking five or six glasses of cold water
a day is a good one. 1t will help to
clear the complexion, brighten the
eyes, and is said to be almost GER
tain remedy for puffness under the
eyes.

A Great Swimmer.

A remarkable swim by an eight
year-old horse, says Kildysart tele-
gram, is occupying the attention of
the local inhabitants. 1t appears that
a farmer named Morgan Macmahon,
who lives on small island in the
estuary of the Shannon, took the horse
by boat to the mainland, and after
working it all day turned 1t loose in
the evening with a number of other
horses. When the owner awoke next
morning what was his establishment
to find the faithful animal peacefully
grazing near it's stable. 1t was wet as
from swim, and there is not the
slightest doubt that the horse had
swum all the way from the mainland
TO the island. a distance of little less
than three miles.-Pall Mall Gazette.

.ESCH RETURNS
FROM LAKE TOUR

La Crosse, September AFTER a
ten days trip on the great lakes, dur,
ing which he Travelled 1900 miles
Congressman Esch has returned
home. He was accompanied on the
trip by Congressman William Ryan OF
New York and James R. Mann OF
illinois, the three congressman consti-
tuting subcommittee of the house
committee on foreign and Interstate
commerce. The party left Chicago
August 81 on board the United States
lighthouse tender, Sumac, in charge
of Commander John Orchard of the
navy.
After leaving Chicago the party
went across Lake Michigan to the
Michigan side, where the lights were
examined off the east shore of the
lake. From there they went around to
Frankfort, thence to the Manitou is
lands. From there the party proceeded
to Beaver island and thence to the
White Shoal lightship. Here the mem.
bers of the committee tested the sub
marine bell apparatus, which was
very interesting. After leaving that
place the party went to Old Mackinac,
City, then to Lake Huron, passing
Mackinac island. Then passing into
st. Mary's river the buoys and light
house on that stream were inspecteti
and then they passed through the
locks along the south shore of Lake
Superior. then to Stannard Rock, a
lighthouse station, located in the mid
die Of the lake. After spending a day
here The party proceeded to Mar
quette, Mich. where night and a
part of day were spent Here the
party turned around and went back
to Fox island in Lake Michigan. From
there the trip was made to the Stur,
geon Bay ship canal, thence back to
CT Sago.
Congressman Esch says that while
at Milwaukee the harbor at that
place was inspected and the commit-
tee will probably abandon the idea of
building lighthouse but instead will
recommended that a lightship be
located there. At the last session of
congress 100000 was appropriated
for the improvement at Milwaukee
but thus far the committee has taken
no official action in the matter.

Terms of Latin orinin.

In legal sense an "innuendo" was
originally an averment made by the
plaintiff in libel action, putting into
plain words the injurious sense he de-
tected in an insinuation published by
the defendant. 1t is the ablative case
of a Latin gerund that has become a
common English noun substantive
Another Latin ablatiye with a similar
modern history is 'folio." which lit
orally means ION page" so-and-so The
English language absorbs all cases in
this fashion at its pleasure. There
is quorum" tgenitive plural and
omnibus" tdative pluraD, with zig
noramus" as an English noun that
was once Latin verb in the first
person plural.

A farmer has made a discovery that
will be of vast importance to farmers
during a dry season. He has found
that by planting onions and potatoes
in the same field in alternate rows the
onions, being so strong, bring tears
to the eyes of the potatoes in such
volumes that the roots of the vines
are kept moist and big crop is
raised in spite of the drought. It is
