Captain Elliott had provided a new
head for the figure, and the wooden
statue of Jackson that is now at An
napolis was at the PROV Of the vessel
for forty years.
Captain Elliott's last voyage on the
Constitution was from the Medfterra-
mean to Hampton Roads in 1888 Here
he was removed from command be-
cause of charges of severity to the
men and of having iacumbered the
berth deck of the ship Oh the home

service at Portsmouth. \. H, after a
career of nearly fifty eight years in the
service. In 1860 she was transferred

When the civil war began her posi-
ton there was deemed unsafe. and she
was sent to the New York navy yard.
In 1860 she was returned to AnnaDC-
lis, where she remained until 1871,
when she was taken to Philadelphia,
where she was again rebuilt. In 1873
she was used to transport exhibits to
France for the Paris exposition Of
1878, and her career at sea finally
ended in 1881. The centennial of her
launching was celebrated at Boston a

ON A FAMOUS OLD FRIGATE.

A BoId Boston Sea Captain MutiIatea
Then Went to Washington and Defed
the Authorities.>
The figurehead which was placed on
the frigate Constitution is now at the
Naval academy i'll Annapolis. 1t is a
figure of Andrew Jackson, and con-
nected with it is curious incident
The original figurehead of the Con
stitution was a figure of Hercules
This was destroyed by a cannon bal.
at Tripoli, and then figure of Nep-
tune was erected. This also came to
grief, and at the time the vessel was
rebuilt there was no fgurehead eX
cept a billet.
At the time the new ship was finish
ed Captain Jesse Duncan Elliott OF
Hagerstown, Md, who had distinguish
ed hiNself in the battle of Lake Erie,
was in command at the Boston navy
yard. Captain Elliott was an enthu-
= siastic Democrat and an ardent adj
nirer of President Andrew Jackson.
The president had lately been in Bos-
ton and had been most Hospitality re-
ceived, and Captain Elliott conceived
the idea of placing a figure of the
president at the PROV Of the Constitu-
ton. believing that it would give the
people of Boston much pleasure. The
navy department gave him permission,
and so a wooden figure of "Old Hick-
ory' was put in position on the ship.
This act raised a storm of dissent
in the Hub, and Captain Elliott was
threatened with a coat of tar and
feathers The excitement was intense,
and the language was virulent. Hand
z bills denOuncing the act, denouncing
the president and Elliott were circulat-
ed in the streets, and the newspapers
took up the cry, and in this day and
generation the partisan violence and
2 'vituperation which ragged in New Eng
land are uncomfortable.
On dark night in July the deck OF
the ship was invaded, and, although a
sentry was close at hand, the head OF
Jackson was sawed off and taken
away. New England was deiirious.
and for a time the perpetrator Of the
act was unknown to the public.
SIX months later one Samuel W.
Dewey, a Bostoneea captain, took the
discovered head in bag to the secre-
tary Of the navy at Washington and
avowed himself as the criminal. That
official was amazed at the mans au-
dacity and asked him if he did not
know that he would be severely pun
ished Dewey calmly replied that he
had considered the matter and had as
certained that the legal penalty was
slight and could not be applied until

Irles Gut Safety Device.


 A new lock and block system is being experfmented with by the Alton Railroad in the effort to in crease the safety of railroad travel,
 The new system is operated by means of two levers. one Of which governs the movements of train in one direction and the othsr ths movements of train in the opposite direction.
 It's operation requires the co operation of both station operators. and absolute protection of trains is accorded at all times. regardless of mistakes made by trainmen. train dispatchers and operators. The device is quite simple and can be operated by any employe, a knowl- edge telegraphy not being necessa- ry. The signal is being tested at two points on the Alton, on the division south of Bloomington.

International League Against Rats.

The terrible ravage5 ef the bu- bonio pleague and the responsibili- ty of the rat for aiding in it's spread. have led to the formation of an in ternational league for the purpose of dertroying these rodents where ever found France is taking the lead in the movement. and the countries of India England, Japan and New Zealand have promised their assistance. Other countries, including the United States, are doubtless in favor of an organized fight against rats, and may join the international union for that pur- pose.
 In Copenhagen. Denmark, one cent is paid for each dead rat. and the result is a great reduction Of these noxious rodents. A larger sum { say 5 O. 5 cents) could be paid for dead rats in this country and we would still be the wealthier, for each individual doss damage to the extent of several times either of the above amounts in the course of his existence.

To the Voters of Union County:
 The Democratic state platform adopted the initiative and referen- dun, and as a great many persons have asked me to pass stock or no fence law, and as a large number are opposed to the same. and as desire to be governed by the wishes of the majority. there- fore hope the people will let me know their wishes, pro and con, between now and the meeting of the next session of the legislature by petition; and. as this is strictly an agricultural measure. and the farmers are more visally interested than any other class of voters, l hope they will take up this matter in the various Farmers Union To- calls, and also in the County Unions and among the farmers generally whether belonging to the Union or not and letme know their wishes as soon as practicable and 1 will try to be governed hy same.

 My Lady Nicotine.


 On My Lady Nicotine the peo pie of the United States spend twelve times as much cash as they spend on the ministers of the gos- pei. Our tobacco bill. annually is double that of our bill for public education or for all the furniture in our houses.
 We pay out more money for the fragrant weed than for sugar Every time we spend 10 cents for bread we hand over 4 cents for tobacco.
 All the gold coined in this coun- try last year would fall short of covering our smoking account by nearly $1OO.ooo,Ooofor we spend yearly for cigars, cigarettes. chew ing and smoking tobacco and snuff more than $5OO.OOO,OOO
 The money paid by Americans for smoking equals the amount paid for shoes for our 8O.OOO. 1000 inhabitants. Smokers burn up an equivalent in currency 15O times the sum burned up in fireworks. The vast fortune that we swap for the comfort of smoking, chewing and snuffing would build thirty great structures like the national capitol at Washington.
 Each year we smoke nearly 8,OOo,OoO.oOO cigars, cheroots, stogies and all-tobacco cigarettes, $500, 100000 cigaretts with pa per wrappers. and consume 5OO,- 100000 pounds of smoking and chewing tobacco and snuff.
 Every day we smoke 22,OOO, GOO cigars and 10,OOO,OOO cigar cites. and either smoke or chew 500 tons of tobacco, of all which costs $60O.ooo. Every minute of the sixteen hours day that we are awake we make ourselves poorer by $8oo-for 25.ooo cig- ars, 10000 cigarettes and half a  ton of plug and fine cut.
 It is estimated that there are 13.OOO.OOO deyotees of the weed, or about as many smokers as vot- CTS. This estimate is based on the assumption that one person in each six of our population is a buffer of smoke.
 When the bill for $5Oo.ooOOOO is divided among 13,OOOOOO smokers, the smoking habit doesn't t look so purse breaking. after all For the amount spent by each smoker is only about $2o each year. or less than 50 cents week. And yet the yearly sum lavished on this narcotic herb by any one of thousands of men would build a comfortable country house and support bed in a hospital besides.
 Eight billion cigars a year. Gould man smoke fifty cigars a day, have to live more than 4OO,- GOO years to consume all the cig- ars smoked by the nation in twelve montHS.
