We've experienced all the coasts waters

Gloucester to st. John. but ! think thai
for r%oughness the Bay Of Fundy has them
all beaten. Ever since / was a boy ] have
been greatly interested In the Bay Of Fundy
on account of its high tides.
Il am q member Of the New York Yacht
Club. but yachtsmen have neglected Fundy;
in fact they are rather afraid Of II. All
our friends told US last summer that a
canoe could not run from New York TO
Gloucester, particularly II could not round
Cape Cod. However. we did 1t,
They then granted that We might get
as far along the Maine coast as Bar Harbor.
but that Fundy was absolutely impossible.
We decided to try it, and here We are. |

prcaux tho oanoe reached the mouth Of
st. John harbor 1t could not make head
way against the Bay Of Fundy tide and was
towed In by q launch. Mr.. Wood IN talking
at st. John about his cruise said:
i below that the canoe has great posi-
bihties as a seagoing craft Some people
will tell you that a canoe cannot be used
except In comparatively calm waters. but
look at the Indians about Grand Msnan.
They cross from the mainland with their
enttre families ever In q storm and yet moth
ing happens to them. They shoot por-
poises In a heavy sea and though loaded
with 800 or 900 pounds Of meat make land

Southwest originally. The engineer who
tSok out the first construction train was
one Of the pioneers in Montana when the
Northern Pacific was pushed through the
Northwest. Then he happened along down
in Mexico when the first line was opened
from the border to Mexico City. He turned
up in Bolivia asking for an engine because
he wanted to be at the front il there was
anything going on in the Andes.
Railway building at this high altitude
has some drawbacks. The first parties OF
engineers and surveyors and their helpers
did not fully appreciate the effect Of the
rarefed atmosphere upon their nerves and
also upon their habits. Bolivian hospitality
was compelled TO make large allowances for
their peculiarities.

In that way the problem Of disposing Of
the wood was met.
Some years ago the city Of Perth Amboy
objected and Mr.. Gregory's bonfires on the
fats, which must have delighted the heart
of the Perth Amboy small boy. are now q
thing Of the past.
The marine undertaking business ism
very active. Ships are long lived in these
days and sometimes months go by without

Mr.. Gregory doesn't let that bother him.
however. just at present he is taking
apart the Raritan bridge Of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey. famous in its day
as the longest railroad bridge Of its type,
but o condemned to give way to a
younger and better structure.
All sorts and conditions OF ships come
to the Gregory graveyard. A glance at
the picture shows that.
Take ferryboats. A casual traveller on
the East River might suspect that no ferry
boat had ever passed out, that the boats
built by Fulton's earliest SUCCESSORS were
still in use, but the picture disproves that
On the right hand side are two Of them,

Having no rival. Mr.. Gregory is not often
driven to pay high prices for the worn out
ships he buys. Sometimes he gets them
for nothing If he'll tow them away, some
times 500 gill buy q once famous steamship
that holds much valuable junk.
To 60 back to the funeral simile it is not
too much to say that the great majority
Of steamships die of boiler complaint
There comes a time in the life OF any boat
when its boilers give out and only an ex-
pensive operation-perhaps $4,000 worth
of new machinery-can restore 1t. Then a
hard hearted owner Is likely to ask Mr..
Gregory what he'll give for it, and the boat
becomes one OF the melancholy wrecks
shown in the accompanying picture.
It is only the metal that has any real
worth in a worn out steamship. Some Of
the wood is sold locally for fuel and a little
OF it finds its way into the market for lum-
Der. The hulks. however. have one use.
A number Of them have been made over
into homes for the nearby workmen and
there Is a small colony Of cottages on Rari-
tan Bay made Of timbers that once went
ocean voyaging.
Mr.. Gregory started his business some
twenty or more years ago and then he Set
about getting the old metal out of a boat

The One Marine Undertaken Near New

II You had a pet steamship that was
showing signs Of a general breakdown
and you had called in the family engineer
and he had broken the news to you that
there was no hope would you know what
TO do next? Would you know to whom
10 entrust the painful task of caring for
the remains?
d, Here's the answer: Get in touch with
John q. Gregory Of Perth Amboy, who is
the one marine undertaken in the New York
district and who has a big ships graveyard
OF his own on the shore of Raritan Bay,
At the mouth of the Raritan River.
Moreover, unlike other undertakers, he
will pay you for the corpse of your steam
boat, all depending on the amount and
value of the metal it contains. For this
reason perhaps it would be more accurate
TO call Mr.. Gregory's place Of business a
marine dissecting room rather than a marine
graveyard.

Gloucester. Mass. to Prince Edward Island

attempted to reach the Maritime Provinces,
and when last Sunday they arrived at

Mr.. and Mrs. Wood made the cruise by
single day trips, averaging about thirty
Ave miles a day, and spending the nights
ashore, either in houses or making camp
for themselves. The me Is ~provisioned
for a weeks run In case Of emergency.
As they have | cen canoeing for seven
teen years they think that they know just
what they can accomplish, and they enjoy
this form Of sailing. They were nineteen

THE PRICE OF AMERICAN GOODS
 ABROAD.

A few years ago when it was de clared that certain American mad goods were sold for a less pric, abroad than at home, that statemen the free traders and tariff reformers Later there were abundant figures to prove it and for the time the nor, patriotic were satisfied with the ex. plantation that that was necessary tC the fostering of our foreign trade There is of course something in that but it will not do to carry the thinl so far as the starch trust seems tc have done.
 The extension of our foreign mar ket in this way does not work as great a hardship upon us as we might at first suppose. The manu- lecturers of course could sell theil products at home as cheaply as they do abroad, and they ought to do SO but they would probably not do so ii they were not invading the foreign market.
 The withdrawal of a protective tar if from their products, in most cases would not decrease their ability to compete successfully with their for eign competitors who are sorely s+ tA on their own ground. The protec- ton in such cases is rather a sort of breastwork, unused at the time. Those for whom it is erected are fighting outside of and far beyond it. Though they may have no immediate use for it, the fact that it is there and may be used if the fortunes of commercial war make it necessary, is a comforting one.
 The fact that goods are sold cheap CT abroad than at home, though ne cessitated by the exigencies of trade. is of course an injustice to home consumers, and if there were any way to do it, American purchasers of American made goods should be put on a level with foreign purchasers of the same goods.
 But after all this discrimination against home consumers is not with out its benefits at home. The far ther our foreign trade is extended, by whatever means. the greater and better is the market flor American labor.

FINANCIAL FALL OF TOM
 JOHNSON.

Tom Johnson has not always been an admirable man. In his earlier years he had the reputation of being a constituencies pirate. Precisely how he came to devote his life to the people of Cleveland is not quite clear, but that he set out to do it was sur prising to those who believed that he was in earnest. That a large part of his constituents believe so has been proved by the successive election re- turns.
 There are some reasons for believ- ing Johnson is not a demagogue. He has been too courageous for that. He has not been afraid to go against the popular will on occasion but he has later generally had the popular will with him.
 That he is not a philanthropist he says himself And in that statement is probably found a solution of the strange career upon which he entered when he began battling for the people of Cleveland. It was for the joy of fighting that he quit making money
 The loss of his fortune will prob ably not shear him of his strength as a politician for the people love a fighter even more than they do a philanthropist provided the fighter is doing what the philanthropist and re- former would like to do.
 His street railway reforms, the greatest of all of his attempts, have not been entirely successful. but that has apparently not lost him any of his strength. In the case of a man like Johnson even a big mistake is not necessarily a fatal one.

100000 FREE DINNERS
 FOR THANKSGIVING DAY
New Works Most Charitable Occasion, One Million Turkeys and Other Fowl To Supply the Metropolitan Table.

New York, Nov. 17-(Special corre- spondence of The Republican )-One
 million turkeys, ducks and other fowl are on their way to supply the Thanks
 giving Day requirements of this city,
 while half as many quarts of cranber-
 ries will be needed here to furnish the
 essential accompaniment of the great
 American feast day. This at least is
 the estimate of wholesale dealers in
 these supplies. Moreover the good
 things to eat will be more evenly divid-
 ed among the whole population than
 they are on any other occasion. There are two hundred thousand persons in
 New York who never get square meal
 except once a year-on Thanksgiving Day-according to a veteran worker
 for one of the city's charitable Organiza- tions. Of course not all this great
 army is made up of unemployed or de- pendent persons. but it represents those who are habitually underfed-- On
 Thanksgiving Day. however, it is the proud boast of Father Knickerbocker that nobody need go hungry within his gates. Dinners at each of which thou sands are fed are given by charitable
  sociations and by Tammany politicians like the Sullivans of the lower Eastside who this year are planning a feed for some three thousand Boweryltes, re- gardless of political utilization, all though that usually may be taken for granted. The dinners of this sort all ready announced will be sufficient for fully seventy-five thousand persons, while the free basket meals distributed to poor families in the tenements prob ably will aggregate an.equal number. Aside from all this there are thousands of well-to-do men and women whe make a practice of supplying Thanks giving cheer to a number of families less fortunately cirCumstanced. This form of help will reach fifty thousand more, so that it is safe to say that nobody in New York will be suffering from hunger on Thanksgiving Day, a condition that could not be du- plicated on any other day in the year. Even the immigrants on Ellis Island get their first introduction to the typi- cal American holiday by a rousing din- ner in which turkey and cranberry sauce figure. It is characteristic of New York to pay special attention to the favorite Thanksgiving Day form of charity for there is no city in the coun- try where good eating and plenty of it is held in higher esteem.

An exchange urges the establish ment of a government postal tele- graph company and contrasts its imaginary beautiful system with the slipshod and careless methods of the Western Union and the Postal com panies. It points to the post office as an illustration of what the gov ernment can do when it sets about it. One thing is certain, and that is that if private individuals were running the post office there would be no $16,OOO,OOO deficit this year. If that deficit were the difference only be-
