FAMOUS CLIPPERS.
Their Names Memories to the Few Left
Who Recognize Them.

The Marine Journal of New York speaks
of the painting of the famous clipper ship
Red Jacket, of the Liverpool White Star
Line of Australian packets. She was
American-built, which brings my memory
back to the famous Aberdeen clippers
which populated Australia. | can see
them now at the North quay in the London
docks, the Ninevah, Jericho, Centurion,
Jerusalem, Maid of Judea, and Star of
Bethlehem. Ahead of them were the
Pioneer, Montreal and Quebec packets,
the John Bull (true Briton), City of
Hamilton, the ship | made my first voy-
age across the Atlantic with Capt Hardy
and David Dalyrimple, both afterward
masters of ocean passenger steamships.
Then astern of the White Star ships
lay the American Transom ships that
brought two-thirds of Ireland to Amer
lea, the Cornelius Grinnell, Concord,
Hathaway, Congress, and Northumber-
land. She foundered on the west coast
of Ireland, all hands lost. Memory
takes me farther back: | can see the
high-pooped quarter galleried East India
men, fitted up like palaces, with their
decks full Of 6-pounders and carronades,
bay windows on their stern, with flower
pots like an Antwerp or Ostend packet.
afthef pack can be seen the keelS lad
and launching of the famous China tea
clippers, sharp as razors, narrow and
deep, spared like a 2,000-ton ship, the
Staghound, Greyhound, Robin Hood, Red
Riding Hood, with full-sized fgureheads.
From the time the carver took the
block of wood to carve out Little Red
Riding Hood and her red-painted cloak, |
saw it from day to day. In the Rotten
Row on the Surrey side you can see the
marine relics of the past, with brooms at
the mastheads, ships so old that their age
is forgotten. l remember one ship like
a crescent, her stern and bow was sc
crooked and peaked that you had to crawl
on your hands and knees to get to her
taffrail or knightheads. You don't hear
of them. All gone. Capt. J. F. James,
in the San Francisco City Front News.
The famous Red Jacket was built at
Rockland.

Largest Steel Sea- Going Tug in America.

At the shipyard of the Staten Island
Shipbuilding Co., Port Richmond, Staten
Island, N. Y, on Saturday last, the
largest steel sea-going tugboat ever
built in the United States was launched.
The craft was christened Mary F. Scully,
her namesake acting as sponsor. The
tug is for Scully's Towing & Transport
tation Line, 1 Broadway, New York, and
will be attached to the large feet operat-
ed by that company in the Atlantic Coast
towing trade. The Mary F. Scully is
not only the largest steel tug but she has
the greatest fuel carrying capacity of any
vessel of her kind afoat, her bunkers be-
ing capable of holding 500 tons, enabling
the craft to steam 5000 miles at full
speed without replenishing them. The
new tug is 1S0ft. in length over all, 30 tt.
beam, and 10 #. depth of hold.

ings for the use of the American en-
ployes located there. Mr.. Thompson s
object in coming to Maine was to interest
the technical students in work along
somewhat the same line, that is, the i'm
proving of the condition of those en-
ployees situated under them. This is
especially true in regard to foreign
workmen, where there is great OPP
portunity to teach them English and aid
them in lettering themselves. Mr..
Thompson illustrated his statements by
the work which the Yale students are
doing. Many of their men are going
down into the slums and holding
classes in English and mathematics. The
lecture appealed strongly to those who
were fortunate enough to hear it.

Investigating the Strikes.

Commissioner of Labor Lyons is at
work on an interesting job. The law of
Maine creating his Office provides that he
shall investigate all strikes and ascertain
their immediate cause. This means he
must look into the labor troubles at Rum
ford, Livermore Falls, Madison and
Millinocket and ascertain their causes
and so report to the governor and execu-
tive council.
This is more of an undertaking than
most people realize, says the commission
er. He gives it as his opinion that the
cause of the strike is something more
thanthe five per cent. reduction. He feels
sure, from what investigation he already
has made at Rumford that the trouble
dates back considerably prior to 1908.

narrow escape from death Sunday
While fishing with several other peo-
pie in the bay a short distance from

with a large stingaree, which drove
its sting into the side of his left fOO1
where it broke off. Mr. Young, in
great pain, was assisted back to the
hotel and put to bed. DR.. Green was
called in and extracted the dangerous
sting. He found that the fish had
driven its weapon 10 the bone of Mr..
Youngs foot. Mr.. Young suffered a
great deal of pain, but applications

TURPENTlNE OPERATORS CON
FER

Pursuant 10 notice sent out some
days ago by the Jacksonville board of
trade, an informal meeting Of the
turpenine operators of this section of
the state was held at the Ocala House
in this city Wednesday afternoon.
The object of the meeting was the
discussion Of the turpentine business
generally, but the all important sub
ject of ways and means TO establish
better prices for the products was al
ter all at the bottom of the confer
ence.
Among the other turpentine people
in attendance was Mr.. Walter Coach
man of Jacksonville, probably one of
the largest operators in the state. He
said yesterday that the state of Flor
ida had lost from three to five million
dollars within the past eight months
on account of the low prices of tur-
pentine and by products.
A big movement in this line. which
is being pushed by the Jacksonville
board of trade, will in the not far dis
tant future make naval stores people
all over the world sit up and take no.

made her exit. 1t was an exhibition

CHANGING THE PLAN OF The
CELEBRATION OF THE
FOURTH

New York is planning for a sane
Fourth. BY a sane Fourth is meant
the observance of independence Day
without inhicting upon the enthusiast
tic citizenship OF the land any of the
following eventUalities: The loss Of
fingers, the shooting out of eyes, lock-
jaw, resulting from bodily hurts,
burns, bruises and manning, and the
starting of costly fires. Every year
America pays tribute in loss of limbs
and lives TO a delirious observance of
the day and the idea is growing in
many quarters throughout the cOun-
try TO eliminate as largely as pCssi-
bic every element of danger, and the
best way TO do so is 10 omit fireworks
from these celebrations. And the
passing of fireworks means of course
the passing of the pandemOnium Of
noises that distract so many quiet
peOple.-New York Letter.
This sane way of celebrating the
Fourth means a doing away with the
traditions that belong to the day. Il
means a celebration minus patriotism.
The day must be celebrated, and with
all the clamOr and noise that can be
manufactured
Ocala knows how!
