land, in Lake Erie. 1t was during
this period that plot was laid by the
Confederates to capture and convert
the warship into commerce destroy
er as we'll as to attempt the bonn
bardment of some of the lake ports.
The plot was discovered in time to
prevent its execution and the vessel
was saved.
Of a type of warship that has long
passed to the junk heap, the Wolver-
inc was the best that could be built
in her day. During her active SER
vice she carried battery of II guns
and a crew of 100 men. The old YES
sci is still in fair shape, and if neces-
sary, perhaps, could easily sink any
thing af1oat on the lakes with a few
shots from her breech-loading rifles.
Frequent overhaulings have kept the
machinery and other equipment in
good repair.

The result is that county superintendent

fewer of their experienced teachers than

alizing the great Importance of maintaining
the efficiency of the schools, a nationwide
movement is about to be started for the
purpose of raising the pay of teachers to
the scale Of other activities requiring SINH
lar preparation and training.
The justice of such a movement has long
been recognized now that it is made nee

cation at the Corcoran Art School.
Moreover, his wife, who was Mamie
McCleIland, is a Washington girl.
II is no small compliment for
young chap to win such a competition,
for there were over $50 posters en-
tered, many OF them by artists Of es-
tablished fame. Mr.. Wilbur took the
prize for the best army poster and
Mr.. Barclay. who has always showed
a decided talent for marine subjects,
won with a navy poster. his drawing

making their home in Chicago, where
Mr.. Barclay is connected with a big
advertising firm. They have a de-
IightfulIy artistic apartment and are
entering with a great deal of zest
into the life Of Chicago's up-and-doing
artistic colony. Mrs. Barclay is the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. l. Nc
