was brought east later and owned for time in
Bangor, then was sold to Boston parties, and
few years ago was bought there by c. r.
Coombs of this city, and Capt. William F.
WEIGH brought her to this port So this reddish
brown chunk of iron has traversed MANY miles
of fresh and salt water. Capt. Pendleton plan
ned new boat to carry this keel and while
running mill IN Unity last winter he got out
his material, going into the woods and select
ing the best of everything for keel, timbers,
planking. finish and spars, all of which was
landed some time ago on the shore near the
Cottrell boat shop, where the craft is to be
built. 1t was comparatively easy job with
horse and man power to move this keel to the
spot and then Capt. Pendleton began working
out the wooden keel from a massive stick, to
which the iron is to be attached by 1ainch bolts
AS the iron weighs six tons it looked like quite
an undertaking to bring the two together, but
this was successfully accomplished last Friday
afternoon. The iron had been blocked up and
rested on two large, wooden rollers, with the
underside down, and the wooden keel was
blocked up alongside with the underside up
The iron was pried up and blocked until it
was balanced on the one roller. Then it was
swung by degrees diagonally across the wood
en- keel until it rested on small iron roller at
the forward end. Then it was pushed and
pried on until another iron roller could be put
under and finally rested its whole length on the
wood. but foot or more forward of its true
position and little to one side. Then by
cutting" the iron rollers it was showed back
and came into place, and the rollers were re-
moved. 1t was a remarkably good job con-
sidering the small crew and the few appliances
used. Capt. Pendleton had as an assistant
George W. Pendleton, with l. W. Parker as
volunteer, and one or two others helped to bed
down the prizes.

"One Day stand"

Ome D4E sNHnQ-
Gentry Bros Show, longtime favor
ite in Washington. viii return TO this city
to-day for one day only. and for the first
time since 1t has been visiting here will
play at Thirteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast
The big tented exhibition played In
Washington for one week last May. and
it is owing TO a peculiar chain OF cir
cumstances that it returns here for O
"one-day stand"
They are returning 10 this section after
a successful tour Of the East en- route
South for the autumn, and owing to the
difficulty Of obtaining adequate railroad
accommodations. it was decided TO stop
Off in Washington for one day.
When the advance representatives Wis
tied this city they were urged by resi-
dents IN the vicinity of Thirteenth street
and PENNSYLVANIA avenue to show in tha.
section. SO urgent were the requests It
was so decided. and the vacant lot at
that corner was procured.
The show viii probably arrive IA Wash
ington somewhat late but owing 10 its
wonderful system Of unloading and erect
ing tents there is no question but that
the street parade viii leave the show
grounds promptly on time. The parade.
which Is more than a mile IN length. will
leave the grounds promptly at l0:3l
o'clock this morning. and the probabili-
ties are that the line of route will en-
brace the different streets within a mile
of the grounds.

BANKERS ARE KICKING.
Change in Size of Currency Would
Cause Them Expense.

The suggestion Of Secretary Of the
Treasury MacVeagh that the size OF the
currency be reduced has met with dis
approval from bankers throughout the
country as the reduction Of the size OF
the bills over which the government has
jurisdiction would necessitate the reduc-
ton of the national bank notes.
Most national banks have plates for
notes OF three or four denominations. and
TO set new plates would entail consid-
cradle expense, Should the suggestion
Of the Secretary OF the Treasury be acted
upon. nearly 1000 banks would be re-
quired 10 go TO more or less expense by
the shift IN the dimensions Of currency.
in regard 70 the political side Of the
question. a well-infOTmed financial expert
remarked:
Let any good Democratic orator set
out before a crowd on this business Of
cutting down the size Of the currency.

A Real Man Halter.

Miss Harriet Evans, an elderly spin
ster on whom an inquest was held at
Hackney recently, was said to have
been confirmed man hater.
she was so much against men that
she would not have a coin with the
kings head on it, her landlady said.
"If one was given her she would throw
it into the fire. She would only deal
in money bearing Queen Nictoria's
head"
Miss Evans went to the office of a
local newspaper some time ago, but
refused to enter until woman was
sent to transact business with her.
An advertisement for apartments
which she published stipulated that
there should be no man in the house.
She even declined to receive letters
because the stamps bore the king q
head.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Conclusions Drawn from the Writings
of DISTINGUISHED Men.

A Paris contemporary has been in
structing its readers how to live to a
good age. drawing its conclusions
from the lives and writings of dis

Michael Eugene CheYreul, the cele-

years, was always very frugal in re-
gard to his diet and considered a hap
py disposition to be an important fac
tor contributing to his long life.
Victor Hugo had a tablet on the
wall of his house with the following:
Rising at 6, dining at 10, supping at
g. retiring at 10 make the life of a man
ten times ten" The secret of Molt-
ke's death lay in his great moderation
in all things.
Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson de-
clared that those who wished to reach
century must neither smoke nor
drink. They should eat sparingly of
meal, work as little as possible by
artificial light. trouble themselves lit
