ONLY FIVE BRIGS LEFT.
Once Popular Type of Merchant Graft Is
Now Almost Extinct.

1t was recently stated by the New
York World, in connection with the an
nouncement that the British brig Fred
ericka Schepp is being rerigged as
schooner, that there are now but five
briggs sailing under the American flag.
This once popular type Of craft is evil
IDENTIFY destined to become entirely ex-
tinct within few years. Not single
vessel sailing under square sails spread
on two masts has been launched in the
United States since 1898, in which year
only one was put overheard, and only
fifteen have been built in the country
since 1880. Two of these were built in
this district, the Sunlight, 374 tons, IN
1881 by Goss, Sawyer & Packard for r.
D. Armstrong and the H. B. Hussey, 5l2
tons, in 1883 by T. j. and G. H. L. !.
Southland of Richmond for their own
fleet. The Hussey was the last OF 673
briggs built in the District Of Bath since
1880
The great days Of the brig were prior
to 1870 In the early days Of the Amerl-
can merchant marine they were the most
common type of merchant vessel under
the flag, not only for the domestic trade
but used extensively in the flourishing
commerce of those days with the West
Indies and in whaling, and often making
VOYAGES to Europe and around the Horn
and the Cape of Good Hope to the Orient.
During the period previous to 1910 more
than three-fourths of the briggs built in
Bath District We're launched, and after
that date, although briggs continued to be
built to 1883, their place in the foreign
trade was largely taken by the full rig
ged ship and in the coastWise business by
the schooner, which began to increase in
size anc popularity rapidly after the Civil
War.
Previous to 1910, a large majority of
the vessels built in Bath were briggs. The
great period of the building OF ships was
from 1910 to 1870, since which date
schooners have formed the largest class
of vessels built in the local yards. The
four-masted schooner began to be built
in the early sos, soon followed by five
and six-masted schooners exceeding in
size the old-time ships. 1t is an interest
ing fact that the schooner is the only
type of craft whose construction has
been continuous since the beginning OF
the Custom House records. Since 179o
there has not been single year when no
schooner has been launched in the dis
trict, which is true of no other type of
craft.
The brig, rugged like ship except that
she has only two masts, took her name
from the pirate craft of the Mediter-
ranean.
Curiously enough the Frederick Schepp,
which is being converted from brig to
schooner, was originally topsail schoon-
err built in Northport, L. l., under the
name of the Emma Ritch. Subsequently
she was sold and made brig, and is now
owned by L. Schepp and halls from Turks
Island in the West Indies.
Not single brig of Bath build is now
in existence.

THE FASHIONS FOR GIRLS.
Hints That Will Help the Anxious Moth

Hints That Will Help the Anxious Mother.
Dresses for tiny girls are made either
in the French style, with the quaint long
waist and short skirt, or in the one-piece
mode, the latter often having the body
and sleeves cut in one. Such dresses are
made almost exclusively Of fine batiste,
nainsook or India null, while insertions,
edgings and inset motifs of lace are the
favored decoration. The lace used for
this purpose is always of a finemeshed
variety, good quality of imitation
Valenciennes being most popular because
it is not only dainty but durable. Real
Valenciennes is, of course, used on the
more expensive dresses, though many
mothers wisely consider it an extravag-
ance to trim little frocks with such val
liable material, because of the amount
of wear and tear it must necessarily be
subjected to. On the other hand, the
cheaper imitation laces are not to be re-
commended for they have a common look
which is distinctly unpleasing, while the
threads break so easily after little wear
and few launderings that such laces
seem hardly worth the trouble of making
up.
For girls from six to fourteen the little
guimpe and over-blouse dresses are very
becoming, and because of this they are
extremely popular. The dress is inva-
riably made to fasten in one-piece fashion
at the back, the waist and skirt always
being Joined, whether the former be gen
timely waist or simply a suspender or
bretelle attachment. The skirts of these
frocks may be gored or straight, but in
either case usually display some form of
plating Semi-princess dresses, in which
the front gore Of the shirt forms panel
which extends to the shoulders, are also
much liked for little girls over six years
of age, as we'll as for those who are older.
Some of the newest frocks for misses
display Empire effects, the short waist
and clinging two-piece skirt being dis
tinctive features Of these models. These,
however, are advance styles, and have
not yet been generally adopted. The
American mother is usually sensible
enough to prefer frocks of simpler type
for her young daughters, and clings with
fond tenacity to the dainty muslin, dotted
Swiss and organdy of which her own
girlhood party frock were made. Even
at eighteen girl is not too old to wear
frocks of this type. She should, indeed,
be encouraged to retain her grasp on
youth and youthful things as long as she
possibly can, for all too soon the days will
come when she will actually be a grown
up," and girlish frocks and frivolities
will have to be laid aside. New Idea

Mrs. Cooley has just returned from

that the claim will be established. 1t

women, as their claims are looked
upon favorably. Both are members OF
the Springer family.
The estate at Wilmington consists
of 5000 acres and it's assessed valua-

With her neck caught in a window

awful struggle to save her life, but It
was in vain.
The girl was trying to climb through
a large window, and just as she got
her head through the window drop
ped, catching her neck behind the ear.
The outside of the heavy sill struck
the girl in the breast, and for several
minutes Mary hung onto the sill with
her hands. The window bore down
on her neck so tightly that she could
not cry for assistance, and as she had
no support for her feet, her strength
soon gave way and she hanged by her
ueck.
The side of the church below the
window shows the marks Of her feet.

is thought that she struggled for sew

Mary had ceased breathing, although
her mother thought she could discern
the heart pulsating. However, the
girl died in few minutes.
