he requested her mother as a favor
that he might have a visit from the
little girl every afternoon when his
cent companionship and sweet little
prattle became a source of great
recreation to him. He loved to hold
her upon his knee and sometimes he
played and romped with her his
hearty laughter mingling with that
of the child. He always had some
treat in store for her as she came
each day-an apple or cake, but the
supply of such things in his scanty
quarters becoming exhausted one

his eye fell upon a new cap which he

which was ornamented with a sim

General Jackson realized as few

like General Lee. he could not draw
his sword against his native state
and he believed that it was absolutely
necessary for every man to throw
himself heart and soul into the
struggle. recking not of self or
anything else save the best
service he could render his country.
Hence his mind was so wholly occu-
pied with his arduous duties that he
found no time to array himself in
fine clothes-even forgetting that he
was making himself conspicuous in
paying so little attention to his dress
This absorption in patriotic duty
explained the 'old dust covered

peace and when at home, no man
could have been more particular and

sense Of duty drove him into 1t: but

that she never saw or knew General

from the hideous caricature she uses

should have been only too glad to

1t Is passing strange where the
author obtained all her information
concerning the wonderful peculiar

who won honor and fame in spite Of
them all. or how she could keep her

his everlasting sucking Of lemons"

NEW DREDGE FOR POTOMAC.
Machinery Will Be Placed in Vessel
Upon Arrival Here.

The tug Kenmore has sailed from Balti-
more for this port with the hull new
dredge, launched a few days ago at Balti-
more, for the United States Engineer
Corps. and designed for service on the
Potomac river in the vicinity of this
city. and on the waters in the engineer
ing district The hull was built at Skin
ner's shipyard. and is 50 feet Ing. 26
feet beam and 71t feet deep, and IFS con-
struction was under the supervision OF
officials of the Engineer Corps. When
the hull went into the water il was given
the name Dalecarlia, after the Washing
ton reservoir.
The machinery now in the old dred.e
that has been employed upon Dalecarlia a
reservoir for several years past will be
taken out and placed in the new drelge
at this city. but the contract for doir
the work has not yet been awarded The
new dredge will be a small machine. and
will only be used for working in shoal
water on the Potomac. and her chief use
to the engineers will be upon the Mat
taponi and Ponkey rivers, Carriers creek
and like small waterways under the
charge of the engineers Office at this
city. The Kenmore with the hull in tow

ADDITIONS TO COAL FLEET.
New Steamers and Barges to Replace
Sailing Vessels.

Five new vessels will shortly be added
to the fleet of steamers and big barges
employed in carrying coal from Balti-
more. Newport News and Norfolk to
New England points, and their presence
on the coast will make big decrease In
the number of sailing vessels employed
in this service.
The new steamship Suffolk, belonging
to the Coastwise Transportation Company,
Just completed at the yards of the New
York Shipbuilding Company at Camden,
n. j., will come to Baltimore this week
to load her maiden cargo of the fuel The
Suffolk was built especially for the coast

struction represents the most modern idea
In ship construction for that type Of ves-
sell The vessel is equipped with devices
for rapid handling In the d:scharging
OF coal cargoes. Capt. Crowley, well
known as master of some Of the largest
sailing vessels trading to this port, will
be master of the new vessel.
The Suffolk is a sister ship Of the big
steamers Coastwise and Transportation.
which have been employed in the coal
carrying trade between Chesapeake ports
and Boston for several years past
new steam coal carrier, the Penob-
scot. and the barges Bangor and Ports
mouth, are on their way to the Atlantic
coast from Detroit for the purpose Of en-
tering the coal-carrying trade. They will

STORY OF JOHN ALDEN
DECLARED TO Be TRUE
Writer Says William E. Curtis
Overlooked Some important
Historical Facts.
To the Editor Of The Star.

70 the rlitor or The star:
have been much Interested in
reading the letters of William f. Cur
ts in The Star as he travels over the
historical sites of New England He
brings out many interesting facts that
are not generally known. He likes to
play the iconoclast and writes very flip
PANTY about old family traditions as
having no foundation, showing that he
is not well posted in Pilgrim history. or
II he quotes ancient documents, as he
seems TO do, eh only quotes the parts
that suit his purpose. which is hardly
honest. For instance: I'VE do not know
much about Mrs. Barbara Standish. She
was evidently a modest and well behaved
woman" Oh. was she? Why does he not
speak OF other women in the same way?
He goes on to say, when Miles died he
gave directions that his body was to be
'laide as near as conveniently may bee to
my two deer daughters. Cora Standish.
my daughter. and Mary Standish, my
daughter-in-law He said nothing
about his wife and she is not included in
the party"
The language quoted is from the first
para agraph of Standish's will. which in
the ancient spelling is as follows:
Il. My will is that out of my whole
estate my funerall charges be taken. and
my body to be buried in a decent man.
ner, and IL / die in Duyburrow my body
be iaide as near as may bee to my two deer
daughters, Cora Standish, my daughter.
and Mary Standish, my daughter-in-law.' =
Notice that the reason for this request is
left out OF Curtis quotation. Miles might
have died somewhere else and have been
buried in some other place. but the most
remarkable point in Curtis statement
and the one which the editor has noted

If he had continued to read the will
he would have found in the second
paragraph below the one he quoted
this: "3. Out OF what remaines ac-
cording to the order OF the government.
my will is that my dear, loving wife,
Barbara Standish, have third p'te.''
Barbara, his second wife, was a low
ing and worthy woman. and the mother
Of his seven children.
Bradford. giving list OF those who
came over In the Anne. says: Barbara,
the second wife Of Myles Standish.
She is reported to be his first WIS
sister. and to come over at his request"
Attended Church Services.
Curtis says "Standish was never a
member Of any church and was
a member Of a noble Roman Catholic
family" Doesn't he know that all
Roman Catholic children are numbered
as members of that church?
He says there is not explanation OF
the reason which led this brave knight
of noble name TO relinquish his posi-
tion and prospects. to accompany a
band of religious fanatics. with whom
an unknown ocean to an unknown
world. So to mere wording there
is no reason why Saul of Tarsus
should have abandoned "his position
and prospects" to join the despised
Christians: but the facts remain. That
he was a member of the Brownist sect
cannot be proved. unless somewhere
list of their membership should be dis
covered. That he was highly esteemed
by the leaders Of the colony is very
evident. His name is the sixth on the
Mayfiower compact. which gives full
recognition of the Divine Being; he
was the first one to be elected to
permanent office as captain. He was
the only military man among them fit-
ted by education and experience to drill
and command their forces.
He was an attenant upon their re-
ligious services. and further shows his
appreciation of Christianity when, after
appointing his dearly beloved wife
Barbara" and three OF his sons, Alex
ander. Myles and Josiah, executors Of
his will. he mentions two of his friends,
who will be pleased to do the Office of
Christian love to be helpful to my poor
wife and children by their Christian
counsel and advice"
He doubtless recognized that the
principles of the Pilgrims were those of
righteousness. and IL they were fanatics
