ing of the big ships contemplated by the new navy law. Tn 1889 Schichau had established at Piiiau q floating dock for large torpedo boats and Bal. tic steamers. to which repairing shops. stores and coaiing facilities were ada ed. Pillau. however, is q place strong fy fortified. and the instaiiation Of large works there was attendeds with great dificulties. which caused Schi. chaw to turn his attention to Danzig
 At that place also there were dif1- cufties of the same kind, but the for. tifcations Board approved the propos. al. on condition that land should be set aside and money provided for certain defences for the new shipyard. which the board considered necessary. Tho site was at the time waste and marehy land. intersecteds with ditches. and . vast work was necessary in draining and raising the level before the place could be made ready for the buiIdinga and works that were intended to be erected and constructe there. The object was to provie six slips for the war and commercial navies. these slips to be s20 feet long and about 100 feet broad. with cranes of the necessary. lifting power. and all the machinery and machine tools required for a ship building yard on the largest scale.

signer. and 1t was he who introduced compound engines into the German navy in the hrst veselG built by Schi- chau for the service--the gunboats Ha- bicht and Move. launched in 1873. Zi- ess designed. in 1881. the first triple- expansion machinery ever constructed on the continent. and when torpedo boats began to be built by Schichau for the German navy. about 1sst. they were supplied with these engines.
 A disastrous Ire occurred in that year at ElbinE yard. which destroyed the engines for the boats; but with such energy did schichau make good the damage done that the first boat was undergoing triais in the same year.
 The workmen then numbered 1000. The boats proved highly successful, and were continually improved, forming q long series always distinguished by the letter "S." About leo torpedo boats and destroyers have been built at Eibing for the German navy. and those now In hand there are of q very powerful type. with displacement of over 600 tons and a speed of thirty knots or more. One of schichau's greatest successes was in building tor pedo boats for the Chinese Government. one of which proceeded from Elbing to Foochow under it's own steam and without convoy. the passage only occu- pying sixty days. Four destroyers completed In 1898 also went to Chine without convoy. and after coaling at Port Said did not touch land again until they coaled at Colombo. One of these vessels is now In the British service, being the Taku. which was taken from the, Chinese at the time Of the Boxer uprising. Destroyers for the Austrian and Italian navies have also been built at the Eibing yard.
 Although Schichau was occupied m large affairs. he never lost sight of the less important ones. and that as an old man he remained the father and friend of his thousands of workmen. who would have gone through fire In his service.
 There are at Elbing twenty slips for the construction of destroyers and oth- or smaller vessels. and. in addition to some $50 torpedo craft. more than 500 river and sea-going steamers. and about sixty dredgers have been built at the yard. The iron. steel nd bronze foundries. and the engine, boiler ana machinery works had reached great scale of development before Schichau died. and were equipped with all the requirements of a great modern ship building yard for all the smaller class es of vessels, Including four thirty-five- ton cranes. In all the Elbing works have produced more than 1000 engines of various kinds. including about 1000 for marine purposes. They have sup piled the engines for electric power stations for many cities and towns in Germany. and also for Rome. Madrid, St. Petersburg. Moscow. Budapest. Warsaw. Kiev, viadivostok. Lima and Chicago.

The greatest dearth in most present. day writing Is that It lacks conviction Authors are not tremendously burdened with a message to their time. They write for money or fame or even leas worthy motives, and SO their work fails to show the divine fire of inspiration. It is when men are consumed by q dominating purpose that they produce the most powerful literature: Isaiah had something to say to his own peo. pie: and 10 1t has continued to be q message to all the centuries since.

 THE YANKEES HAVE
 CUT>IN BEHIND US. Camp Terrell, near oraree c. H. va-,
 March 2. 1884. Dear Mary.
 I have written you time or two since my return from Richmond, but up to- today no reply has been re- ceivsd. A few days, ago Bill Squalls arrived in camp with box in which was ham for me. He brought no letter. or at least if he did I have not seen or heard anything of It.. We have had no mall, however. for some days on account of the Yankee cavalry getting into our reAr and cut ting the railroad between. Orange and Richmond. We have a line of more than forty miles to guard. and the of manoeuverfng where our troops were posted. succeeded in flanking us on the right and left, and before we could concentrate our troops they did n immense amount of mischief.
 The party that hanixed us on the left were whipped out In the vicinity of Charlottesville. but the other struck the railroad at Beaver Dam, and af- ter burning the bridge over a creek then passed down the road to a point between Hanover Junction and Rich- mond. burning in their course two small bridges over creeks and also the railroad bridges over the Chicka- hominy river. After doing this the Yankees under Fitzpatrick attacked our entrenchments in front of Richmond. but were irepuised and retreated into their lines again by way of the penin- sula i The whole army here now is in l line Of battle, and 1t Is reported the infantry of the enemy is crossing the Rapid Ann at Germana Ford. If this Is the case you may expect to hear or battle In a few days. We have SO many men now at home on fur tough that our force is considerably weakened. but we have enough here to wallop all the Yankees Meade can muster up. expect you will see particulars of the Yankee raid in the papers. I know nothing only by re- port and therefore will say no>more about 1t. I had a letter from Wil- liam few days ago. He Is hugely pleased on account of the famous war rior and Yankee killer = being conn peiled to go into service. !" If - is made do likewise shall also rejoice. DO you know of any sixteen-year- who wants to join the army? Ty bs comes on I can get a fifriough. am well. Billy do. Your brother.

 Camp Near Orange, c. H. Va. Dear Mary: Yours of the 18th was received last night, It Is the first letter I have had from home in some time, and of course I was glad to get it. The train from Richmond came through yesterday for the first time since the Yankee raid and very heavy mall for the resi- ment was received. I had one from Juliet. She said John had been. con scrtpted by some enrolling oficer and ordered to join some cavalry regiment, but was fortunate enough to get out Of the scrape on account of being tax assessor of the county.
 You ask if I received the soap and paper Ma sent. did some time ago. Dave Smith brought the former and Broberg the 1atter.f also received the ham that she sent by Bill Squalls and am very grateful for the same Ma need not send my cap cover as the cap has "gone up spout" long ago. gave 1t to an Irishman belonging

X. of p. District Meeting.

The regular yearly district meeting
for the Knights of Pythias of this dis
trict was held Wednesday evening in
Milbank and was probably the largest
meeting Of the kind ever held in the
district. A special train was run from
Aberdeen to accommodate the members
of that city and Webster and carried at
least 100 people into Milbank. With
the members from the north, east and
south il was estimated that $50 mem
bers of the Knights of Pythias were
gathered together. Webster company
No IA, Uniform Rank, attended III full
uniform which made great showing
for the local lodge as we'll as the com
pany.
After exemplifying some of the work
in the different degrees lunch, which
we believe could be equalled nowhere
but Milbank, was served, after which
several of the members were called upon
for afterdinner talks. Frank Sears
acted as spokeman for the Webster boys
and of course was equal to the occasion.

ers are hard to equal and it is safe TO
say they can not be beaten in four

Read the Label.

Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels now show the ingredients
of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the Importance
to health and good baking of using a
pure cream of tartar powder will read
the back of the label carefully and make
sure that the ingredients mentioned
include cream of tartar.
The food law does not force con-
sumers; it merely helps them to protect
themselves. All good housekeepers
want cream of tartar baking powders,
and will not use alum substitutes in the
food, if they know it. AS the ingred-
tents are printed on the back of the
label, all may know the facts.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the kitchen; it is
easily obtained at any store; the better
it is, the more economical it is in cook
ing materials, and the more it conserves
the health of the family.

GOVERNMENT MAY LOSE CASE
RctriaI of Oil Company May Be
Brought to an Abrupt End.

Chicago, March 10.-The famous
case of the United States against the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana, the
case in which the gigantic monopoly
was once found guilty of receiving re.
bates and in which it was fined 500,
100000 by Federal Judge Lands, is
tumbling most ingloriously about the
ears of Uncle Sans prosecuting ofices
In Chicago.
Unless the unforeseen and unexpect
ed happens, this famous case soon
may be brought to an abrupt end by
Judge A. b, Anderson, the Indiana
jurist who was induced to preside al
the retrial ordered by the court Of
appeals after Judge lands and Other
judges had begged to be excused from
further participation in it.
Judge Anderson will rule. in al
probability, that the government ha!
not proved its case.

For every day l stand outside your door;
And bid you wake and rise to fight and win.

Weep not for golden ages on the wane;
Each night burn the records of the day,
At sunrise every son Is born again,
Laugh like boy at splendors that have sped;
Tovanshed joys be blind and deaf and dumb
My judgments seal the dead past with its dead

But he might rise and be again a man.
