What is believed to be the longest
passage with a cargo OF sugar ever
made by a sailing vessel terminated
when the British steel bark Johanna
was towed TO an anchorage below.
Nearly seven months ago the vessel
sailed from Java, and since then she
has been TO ST. Helena, Falmouth, Eng,
and Delaware breakwater. She sailed
over 1900 miles and was sent from
port to port because of the advance
in the price of sugar.
The widow OF former President
Grover Cleveland, and her two chill

ant, daughter Of Dr. John l.. Bryant,
the Cleveland family physician, and
President John II. Finley Of the Col
lege Of the City of New York, a New
Hampshire nelghbor OF the Clevelands,

Crooks appear to be adopting the uni
form OF officers Of the United States
army with growing frequency 10 carry
out their dishonest schemes. One such
offender, who gave the name OF James
e. Moore, who whose photograph was
later found in the rogues gallery un-
der the name of Walter f. Lawrence,
was arrested here recently. The pris-
oner was turned over to the military
authorities at Charlestown navy yard,
who are said to have charged that he
is a deserter.
The arrest was in a sense an acci-
dent, the patrolman thinking that his
prisoner might be another offender,
whom the police are after for imper-
sonating an officer and collecting
money from local business men by
false pretences.
At present there are 1905 prisoners at
Deer Island which is COS more than the
normal capacity Of the institution. or
this number 1880 are men and 175 are
women. Commissioner Skinner has
been Obliged to provide mattresses for
the overflow, who are accommodated
in the corridors. The direct cause OF
the overflow is the prevalence Of
-. L., l. ~.
the new prisoners are sent down for
that offence
The 1000 bodies buried in the old
cemetery known as Crest Haven are
being removed under the direction Of
Commissioners Skinner. They are being
re-interred in the new cemetery in the
rear of the women's prison. A row of
trees between the prison and the bury
ing ground shuts off view of the
place TO the prisoners. The change
was made necessary when the United
States government took that part OF the
island where the burying ground is To-
Gated.
Completing one of the fastest pas
sages she has ever made, the White
Star line steamship Republic, Capt.
James McAuley, from Liverpool and
Queenstown, arrived at this port last
week.
Admiral Sir Lewis Beaumont Of the
British navy, one of the saloon passen-
gers, came over to visit friends in New
port. The admiral was a personal
friend OF Ex-President Cleveland and
was shocked to hear OF his death. He
said the news was received on board
ship by wireless. Twenty years ago
when the admiral last visited this coun-
try he was Hospitality entertained by
President Cleveland at the White
House.
Admiral Beaumont although well ad-
vanced in years, is still in active SER
vice in the British navy. lie was Mt
one time in command Of the Pacific
squadron and has seen many years OF
active sea duty. He was recently COM
mandant of the Plymouth, Eng, naval
station.
If you have any curiosity about the
much discussed sheath gown, the latest
Partisan sensation, and it has not been
satisfied by the reproductions of photo
graphs of wearers, you can study the
effect Of this dress at the Boston pub
lie library. A representation OF this
novelty in feminine apparel is on view
In the main stairway OF the building
erected by the people and dedicated to
art, literature and so forth.
The sheath gown was admitted to
public library under the classification
of art, and was not placed on exhibition
TO crafty any longing of the people
for a view of the garment with the
slashed skirt. 1t really gained admit
tance to that seat Of conservatism and
erudition by a subterfuge, as an in
consequential featyEs of a work of
art.
