sx.sALooNkEEPER ON BEER.

l claim that beer has developed and caused more trunks than whisky, and l can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt If you want to see what our young men are polluting themselves with, just step into any saloon and watch the drinkers. You will discover that there are fifty glasses of beer sold to every one of whisky. The people get just as drunk drinking beer, as they do drinking whisky, and 1t costs them the same in the end. Beer Is the first intoxicant our young men get drunk on.

Founded Christmas Tree Society.

Mrs. Lena Sittig, president and orig
inator of the Sittig Christmas Tree for
Destitute Childrin, died at Brooklyn,
N. Y, recently.
Mrs. Sittig was known the country
over at the founder of the Christmas
Tree society. She last her first child
not long after it was born, and decided
that she would remember it each year
by giving pleasure to as many chill
dren as possible.
She saw several public men, among
them Lester Wallack, who managed
the first Christmas tree entertainment
for her, and since that time Brooklyn
every year has seen great tree erect
ed on the stage of some local theater
Or armory, and thousands of children
we're treated to Vaudeville perform
ance, and afterward received gifts of
candy, fruit and food. The railroads,
public institutions, leading men, &C.
tors, managers and citizens generally,
and women and children of the city
gave helped the movement each year.

ashington.-Friday Fletcher ey

WashingtOn.-Frid Fletcher ev-
erybody in the navy calls him.
He got his nickname in rather odd
way. 1t so chanced that the officer
who now commands the American ma
val forces in Mexican waters was born
on the sixth day of the week in the
town of OskalOosa, la. The exact
date was November %, 1855. His faith
er on this account used to call him my
little man Friday"
When he was little chap Of seven
his father died At fourteen he was
appointed to Annapolis, and in due
course was escorted thither by an
older brother, who when called upon
to put the youngsters name down on
the roster of boys entering the Naval
academy, wrote Frank Friday Fletch-
er"
This did not particularly please
the family, because Friday was not
really a part of his name. But natural
ly under the circumstances it stuck.

Korean fort
Korea, although nominally an indie
pendent monarchy, was in reality un,
der the suzerainty of China. Accord
ingly, the expedition proceeded to Chi
nese waters and. after spending a year
there all difficulties were surmounted,
and the Ticonderoga returned to
Korea, thereupon negotiating treaty
which was signed b. the high contract
ing parties in a temporary pavilion
erected on an point of land opposite
the ship
The next noteworthy duty to which
Fletcher was assigned was an expedi-
ton Of purely scientific character,
the object in view being to determine
with accuracy the longitude of a series
of points in South and Central Amer,
lea. This work was accomplished by
observation of the stars, supplemented
by the use of telegraph the task being
part of network of longitude deter
limitations made by various civilized
nations and encircling the entire
earth.
On the way back from the Peruvian
Andes, where the last longitude OBJ
servatiOns had been made, Fletcher
reached the city of Panama just in
time to find that town suffering from
more than ordinarily severe cpl
demic of yellow fever. People were dy
ing Of the disease like flies, and during
fortnight which he spent in the har-
Dor much against his will landing par
ties were going ashore from the YES
sells every day to bury victims.
That was in 1884. Since then
Fletcher's professional duties have
been of much varied character At
torpedo boat Gushing, the gunboats
Kanawha and Eagle, the cruiser
Raleigh and the battleship Vermont.
Three years ago, although only a cap
! tain at the time, he was made aid for
material to the secretary of the navy,
a place ordinarily not assigned to an
officer under the grade of rear admiral.
For some time he was in command
of the torpedo station at Newport, and
IN regard to torpedo boats and subma-
rines he is considered an expert Note
worthy improvements in fleet tactics
have been suggested by him. But his
most remarkable inventive ideas have
been developed in connection with
naval ordnance
1t is said of Admiral Fletcher that
he is forever inventing something. He
was born with mechanical bent. At
the naval academy, however, he at
tracted no special attention, being
quiet, shy and studious. Modesty has
always been a conspicuous attribute of
his, but when something important is
to be done he is the readiest man In
the world.
Fletcher and efficiency are almost
synonymous. Even his mechanical in.
ventions are suggestive of the same
quality. The Fletcher breech closing
mechanism shuts the breech of a
rapid-fire gun in the quickest imagin
able time and with the fewest possible
motions. The gun mount already men
toned Is an arrangement of truncatei

He was called Friday all through the
five years he spent at the academy
he dropped back one class, being rath-
er young to keep up-and ever since
that time his fellow officers in the serv-
ice have known him as Friday Fetch
er and nothing else.
Young Fletcher was graduated from
Annapolis on June 21, 1875, and soon
afterward was assigned to duty or
board the United States steamer Tus-
carora, which was engaged in survey
ing a submarine route for a projected
cable to connect California with Japan.
This, by the way, was a very interest,"
ing job.
1t involved an exploration of the
ocean depths, almost the first ever
made, and specimens of the materials
composing the sea floor were brought
up from the bottom all the way across
the Pacific Just east of Japan the
Tuscarora discovered the deepest hole
that exists anywhere in the world, a
marine abyss, known to this day as
the Tuscarora Deep, the sOundings
failing to touch bottom at five and a
quarter miles below the waves
Although accident first directed
young F1etcher's attention to scientific
matters, incidentally to his professions
al duties, he soon showed a special
aptitude for such pursuits. He has an
inVestigatiVe turn of mind, and if he
had not happened to become a naval
officer 1t is altogether likely that he
would have been an inventor.
Indeed, some of the most valuable
mechanical contrivances used in the
navy, especially in connection with
guns, were originated by him. Among
these are improvements in telescope
sights; he well-knoWn Fletcher
breech closing mechanism, and a fric-
tionless gun mount for quick fire rifles.
Another very remarkable cruise. in
1879-1S81, took the young officer to
Korea, on the steam sloOp Ticondero-
ga, then a formidable warship. Com
manded by Commodore r. w. Shu-
feldt, she was sent around the world
in obedience to a special order of con-
gress, and in behalf Of the department
of state, to make what was called a
commercial and diplomatic cruise.
The most important object of the ex-
peditiOn was to open negotiations
with the government of Korea for
treaty which would insure the protec-
tion of the lives and property of Amer
leans.
1t was also desired to open Korea
; to American commerce, and Japan
being at that time on very cordial
terms with the United States, had sig
nified her willingness to lend assist
ance toward this md. But when the
TicOnderoga entered the harbor Of
Fusan, May IA, 1880, the officials re-
fused to accept the letter handed to
them by Commodore Shufeldt, on the
ground that it was addressed to the
king of Korea. whereas their monarch
was properly designated as the king of

means Land of the Morning Calm"

Mr.. Reed, and he will move to his new
purchase at December 1st. He has a
fine herd Of Gurnsey heifers which will
be brought into profit as the basis of
herd of milk producers for the local
market. He has also some of the best
grade Alderney cows which will be used
to supply a select trade with high grade
of milk. Milk has been scarce for a

COMING OF The CIRCUS.

There are three great epochs in the
life of child the coming of its birth
day, the opening and closing of school.
and the coming of a circus or the big
show. The spectacular announcement
that The Mighty Haag Shows would be
in Milford on Tuesday. September 8th.
has somewhat disturbed the childrens
minds as to which was the greatest
event. the closing of the school. their
birthday, or the coming of a show. The
principals realizing that "all work and
no play would make Jack a dull boy, 3"
have promised scholars of all schools
that they should see the parade of The
Mighty Haag Shows, and on the big
show date, September 8th, no good boy
would be kept in late. and that all could
get out and go to see the lion, the monkey
too, as well as the elephant and kangaroo.
The coming of The Mighty Haag Shows
is indeed pleasant and satisfactory evil
dence that the people of Milford will
once more have the pleasure of seeing
a real southern circus.

daily to exchange any bits of news. .
Herrick has wired them
advising them to remain in Tours until
further notice, and they know of no

The natives are reported as being
very kind to the Americans. The off
