A Sailing Ship Contrast.
A Modern Four-masted Square-rigger Com

Built, the American Clipper "Great Re-

public
An interesting contrast in the develop
ment of sailing ships in the past fifty
years is afforded by the British ship Pol
talloch, built in 1903. type of long
voyage "windjammer" of today, and the
Great Republic, the greatest ship in the
same rig ever devised. When the Great
to as anything else but ship-a four
less ship whereas the Poltalloch and
others of her rig under the British
flag are spoken of as "four-masted
barks." The reason for naming such
a rig clark has never been made
plain, for by removing her spanker-mast
she would be a ship, while a bark
proper, square-rigged on the fore and
main masts only, is none the less
bark if a fourth mast is added. To
specify and distinguish the rig of the
Poltalloch from that of four-masted
bark or four masted ship, therefore,
the latter being square-rigged on all four
masts, the name of -four -masted ship
entine" was devised, and if used there
can be no mistake as to the rig. The
Poltalloch carries double topgallant sails,
a thing unknown in the days of the
Great Republic, and she has fidded
spanker topmast, whereas the spanker
mast of the "Great Republic" was all
one spar, 26 inches in diameter, being
10 feet long, including IA feet head,
and the topmast 40 feet long. The
Great Republic was built at East Bos-
ton, Mass, in 1858 by Donald Mckay,
and was 1926 feet long, SO feet beam, SO
feet deep and 1000 tons register. She
was built of wood. The Poltalloch is a
steel vessel, 2S4,4 feet long, AZ feet
beam, PA feet deep, 1884 tons and
2,119 net, built by Workman & Clark,
Belfast, Ireland, in 1908, and now
owned by Eschen & Minor, Victoria, B.

The Portland Press of October 23rd
pays the following tribute to widely
known Maine woman:
Mrs. Mary E. McGregor, beloved
woman whose every footstep along life's
pathway for so many years has been
marked with good deed to some person
| less fortunate than herself, last night
fell into that sleep from which there is
no waking in this world, and none has or
none can have sincerer mourners than
she. She worked untiringly to make
those in need happier and more comfort
able, yet the friends who knew her we'll
cannot say that she is resting from her
burdens, for the many acts which she
performed in behalf of suffering human
ity were not burdens to her. There was
JOY in the doing of every thing for the
relief of the poor and needy, and she
viewed each opportunity for serving
others as her plain duty. Mrs. McGregor
had been interested in many charities in
this city, but she will be best remem-
bered as the founder of the Home for
Friendless Boys IN Deering. 1t is truly
a magnificent work that she has done with
this institution, and many are the men
in years to come who will realize their
deep Indebtedness to her. She started
the home in her own house with four lit
tie boys who needed to be mothered, and
she gave them every care thai loving
parent would. Later, as the work grew,
she hired small house in the Deering
district and employed matron to assist
in the work. Then by personal effort
and through entertainments she secured
funds for the establishment of the pres
ent home, of which she has been presi-
dent for several years. An appropria-
ton was also secured from the State and
the home is now recognized State in
titution. Other charities with which Mrs.
McGregor was connected are the Fresh
Air Society, Samaritan association and
the Children's Aid society. She was a
great favorite in social circles because
of the noble qualities of mind and heart,
but she will be mourned especially by the
poor, whom she had so often helped.
Mrs. McGregor was the daughter of
George S. and Ellen (MerrilD Barstow,
both of sturdy New England stock, and
her parents were also deeply interested
in charitable work. They were well
known not only in the State of Maine,
but in various other parts of New Eng
land. Mrs. McGregor leaves daughter,
Miss Ellen McGregor, and two sisters,
Mrs. George S. Hunt and Mrs. Waylanc
Kimball.

THE OPTIMIsT.

There was once a man who smiled,
Because the day was bright
Because he slept at night,
Because God gave him sight
To gaze upon his child;
Because his little one
Could leap and laugh and run,
Because the distant sun
Smiled on the earth, he smiled.
He smiled because the sky
Was high above his head,
Because the rose was red,
Because the past was dsadi
He never wondered why
The Lord had blundered so
That all things have to go
The wrong way here below
The overarching sky.
He toiIed and still was glad
Because the air was free,
Because he loved, and she
That claimed his love and he
Shared all the joys they had,
Because the grasses grew,
Because the sweet winds blew,
Because that he could heW
And hammer he was glad
Because he lived he smiled.
And did not look ahead,
With bitterness or dread.
But nightly sought his bed
As calmly as a child.
And people called him mad
For being always glad
With such things as he had,
And shook their heads and smiled.

w WASHINGTON, d. c., the metrop-
W. oils of the 4S Washingtons in
this country, and the capital of
the United States is in neutral
territory between Virginia and Maryland
under the thumb of congress. 1t was
built to order in 1900, and was laid out
by an artist who filed it full of diagonal
avenues and little squares which are now
infested with statues. Congress is for
ever Furnishing some statesman by erect
ing statue of him in a public square

Is larger than the telephone book.
Washington has only one object in life,
which is to hold the government of the
United States 1t began in a modest
way and was burned out in 1914 by the
British, but has been enlarged from time
to time to accommodate the growing
hordes of officials until it now has $4,000
people Washington contains 600 con-
gressmen and senators and thousands of
other important officials who enrich the
city by paying $500 a week board.
Senators are so common in Washington
that no church social is a success with
out half a dozen and the congressman
who is so big IN his home town that they
name children after him has to give a
cigar to a Washington reporter to get his
name in the paper.
Washington is called the city of mag
niicent distances. This is because it is
1000 miles from the center of the country
and has until recently been 100000
miles from the people. 1t has wide shady
streets paved with asphalt in the winter
and hot tar in the summer and is speckled
with vast buildings erected by congress
for the use of sightseers. It contains the
capitol of the white house, Washington's
monument, which was the first American
skyscraper, a 40-acre depot, a 50-aere
treasury and many other magnificent
buildings which have been located with
great care just next to prehistoric hen
houses or antebellum oyster shops.
