Wrecks After Deck in Sight.

Havana.-The first stage of the ac-
tual work of uncovering the wreck of
the 6attleship Maine was completed
when pumping operations ceased after

This leaves the portion of the wreck
visible above the water practically the
same as on the night of the disaster,
before the hull had time to become
imbedded in the mud. There is now
visible long stretch Of the starboard
side of the quarter deck.
The pumping is to be suspended
until June Is, when the water level
will be reduced another FIVE feet.

Roosevelt Lauds U. of w.

I'm no other state in the union ha3
any university done the same work
for the community that has been done
in Wisconsin by the University Of
Wisconsin," writes Col Theodore
Roosevelt in the Outlook in sigred
article on wisconsin, An Object Les
son for the Rest of the Union"
81 found the president and teach
ing body of the university" he con-
tinued, accepting as a matter of
course the view that their duties
were imperfectly performed unless
they were performed with an eye to
the direct benefit of the people of the
state; and l found the leaders of
political life so far from adopting
the cheap and foolish cynicism OF
attitude taken by so many politicians
toward men of academic training,
turning equally as matter of course
toward the faculty of the university
for the most practical and efficient
aid in helping them realize their
schemes for special and civic better
ment.
THE state of Wisconsin has now
developed such a body of public
opinion, and such a body of leader
ship among its public men and it's
students, that hereafter we have
good reason to hope that we can find
within our own borders what we
need. We can now, at least in many
cases, look for leadership to WiscOn-
sin when we desire to try to solve
the great social and industrial prob
lens of the present and the future,
instead of being forced always to
look abroad 1t is noteworthy that
in Wisconsin it is possible to include
therein the student as well as the
political leader"

IL was most remarkable affair
planned and carried out In a reckless
manner. The report of the detectives
sent to capture the sohemer furnishes
chapter Of racy reading.
II was discovered that lady who
rented furnished rooms at No. 426
Sixth street had sometime prior to
the discovery of the forgeries received
u letter from a man signing himself
Rev. ]. Hale Barney. He said he
was Methodist minister and that he
would be absent from the city much
of the time attending to the duties of
his circuit. but he wanted to hire a
good lower front room In her house
for ONCE purposes and place to
sleep and the delivery of his corre-
spondence. He explained further that
he had been appointed executive sec
retary of the Christian Brotherhood.
The lady thought 1t WAS a rare op-
portunity to secure an occupant Of
distinction. She had great confidence
in Methodist ministers as she leaned
that way herself, and she answered
favorably. In a few days large
trunk was forwarded by express. 1t
had an aperture in its top through
which letters could be dropped. There

upon which was printed Rev. ]. Hale

hung upon the door. the other In the
window of the room. Money was
sent to pay a months rent in ad-

The madame was delighted to rent
her rooms to such nice man. She
had always maintained a highly re-

corner of the room hired, and all
mail addressed to the reverend myth
was dropped through the hole in the

The fact that one has lived so or
even for 80 years, is no reason why
he should feel old
When Longfellow was well along in
years. his head as white as snow, but
his cheeks as red as a rose, an ardent
admirer asked him one day how 1t
was that he was able TO keep so vigor-
Gus and to write so beautifully.
Pointing to blossoming apple tree
near by the poet replied: THAT ap-
pie tree Is very old. but | never saw
prettier blossoms upon It than those
which It now bears. The tree grows
little new wood each year, and I
suppose that 1t is out of that new
wood that those blossoms come. Like
the apple tree. I try to grow little
new wood each year"
And what Longfeilow did we all
ought to do.
We cannot stop the flight of time;
we cannot head of the one event that
happeneth to all; but we can keep on
growing new wood" and in that way
keep on blossoming until the esd.--
