New York, May 1.-THE dead from
Vera Cruz landed on American soil to-
day, and city, state and nation paid
tribute. Two hours before the city
was astir. II f1ag-draped comns were
removed from the boat deck of the
cruiser Montana and placed on the
plaza in Battery park. Few witnessed
this ceremony, for the sun was but
half risen. but thousands later lined
the streets to watch the slow process

Perhaps not since the Dewey parade
has there been such a spontaneous
demonstration. That, however, was a
noisy tribute to a returning victor, this |
a reverent one to returning dead. The |

Manhattan, and others massed about
the city hall, which was draped in
black, and where the procession was
halted briefly. Still others lined the
to Manhattan bridge, and
finally a great throng gathered in the
navy yard, where eulogies were said.
Many wore little bows of black; others
bands of black on their sleeves.
Twenty-four mounted police led the
procession. Behind them were the
bands of the dreadnoughts

"The identical man"

THE Identical man"
AS we approached Joe hailed him
PLANK was a thick shouldered, stout
man, his big body set back upon his
hips, his big chin thrust forward in a
way that accentuated the arrogance Of
his bulging lips and eyes.
"Ho! It's you. .loe!" he cried.
Yes. Mr. PLANK"
"That'is lucky. for need your help.
My daughter was murdered yesterday
The words made me gasp, and not
me only.
Miss Virginny" cried Joe "You
can't mean that. Nobody would be
brute enough to kill Miss yirginny"
As we walked PLANK gave us the fol.
lowing facts: 1t appeared that he had
been spending the last two weeks in
q log hut which had been lent him by
friend, MFR Wilshere. His household
consisted OF one servant-his daugh-
ters nurse, q middle aged woman whom
they had brought with them from New
York-two guides and man cook On
the previous day Miss Virginia had
taken her rod after lunch. AS she had
often done before, and gone off to the

PLANK paused and presently contin'

We went round the lake and found
on the far side the spot where they had
beached the canoe. Leading up into
the woods from that point, we again
struck the trail of the two men. but

cracks water proof The cement must
| be warmed when used.
/ If you prefer You can make the water
proof cement. This is the recipe:
/ 3 ounces of linseed oil, ounces of tar,
. ounces resin. Melt all together in
a glue pot over gentle heat. If the
cement seems too oily add more resin.
Let stand over night when it will be
firm and water proof. Fill aquarium
with water and let it stand a dav or
two longer before furnishing it up for
the tinny residents. 1t is best to paint
the back and one side dark green as
too strong and constant light is bad for
I the hsh. Put the paint on the outside
the glass.
Make a rockery of small stones and
/ the cement and sand, but put no coral
in it as the lime in the coral is bad for
fresh water fish. Have two inches of
white sand in the bottom and the roots
of the water plants you add will soon
hold themselves firm. A snail helps to
keep the water fresh but it does not
grow stale so rapidly if you keep a bit
! of charcoal in the water. Gold and
silver fish are pretty but small turtle,
some polywogs or tadpoles and some
small craytish make an interesting col.
ony also.
Feed only fish food that you buy at
the animal store. You can feed crack
ers once in long time but never feed
bread as the yeast in it generates a
poisonous gas that kills the fish.
Turtles and shell fish must have tinv
bits of raw meat and it must not be al.
lowed to lie on the bottom of the tank.
The sunlight should never shine di.
rectly into the water and the tank
should be kept in a cool place, then. if
you have not too many fish in it. the
water will not need to be drawn off
oftener than once in two weeks.

HOW STALLINGS RESTORED
CONFIDENCE TO HIS TEAM.
When cred" Smith Was Injured He
Used Substitutes.

In telling about the success of the
lings does not take all the credit to
which he is entitled, and he does not
fully explain how he instilled conf
dence into his players. Here is an in
cident that partially shows S%tallings'
system:
On the last day Of the season the
Braves played a double header in
Brooklyn. In the last inning of the
first game RED" Smith. the Braves
third baseman, broke his LEG and was
sent to Il hospital in an auto. The
Braves We're almost panic stricken
when they realized that they must
tackle the Athletics without Smith,
who had been a timely and consistent
batter. Stallings called his men to the
clubhouse and told them that the loss
of Smith, while regrettable, was not
really a serious blow to the club.
"The men who have been on the
bench all season are just as good as
those who have been playing,' he said.
This Is not a n man team, and to
prove it l will put in a team of so
called substitutes for the second game
and we will trim the B%rooklyns Just
the same. And remember that the
BrOoklyns have won more games from
US than any other team. their record
being thirteen won to eight lost. With
n team of substitutes we will make it
nine the Brooklyns have lost to us"
SO the second game vas played with
c. Tyler as catcher. He had joined the
team only a few days before. Paul
Strand. only twenty Years old. was
sent to the box to pitch against the
mighty Rucller. Oscar Dugey took
Evers' place at second. and Billy Mar
tin. whose name had seldom appeared
in the box score, was placed at short in
place of the wonderful rabbit" Ma
ranville. Whitfield. the only regular
outfielder, was sent to first, Il position
he had played only a few times. Deal
went to third. and Mann. Gather and
Deyore went to the outfield.
The Braves won by q score of 7 to 3
and the confidence Of the Braves was
restored. They became imbued with
the idea that nothing could stop them,
that they really had two teams. either
of which could beat the Athletics. This
feeling of confidence had much to dc
with the success OF the Braves in the
worlds series.
