"' .' HORL 39 YLARS OLD IS STILL VLRY FRISKY (thltrd 1'rens ' Le4 Wire.) Now York. Dec 17.--When the gigan tic Mauretania, the Cunard liner, poked her nose out Into the North river at o'clock tonight she gave one shriek of l-.or monster siren, ' if seemed to be' a breath of relief for things have been mighty busy, on the leviathan during the past 30 hoars. , "The bis 'Christmas liner; entered her dock at 4 o'clock Friday morning. She ! Mulled at O'clock tonight 38 hours in port In that time she had taken Aboard 6000 tons of coal. 800 tons of cargo and had sent 60,000 pieces of t-oilod linen to the laundry and had them returned; had taken on enough provisions to feed 2000 persons for a week and had broken all records for "hurrying up" her departure.- , There were 3000 sacks Of, mail on the Mauretania when ' .she departed, Christmas letters and packages. Carries 1700 Passengers. The big vessel carried 1700 passen pf.rs. lh-the first cabin were 450 persons leturning to "Merrie England", for Christmas, while an equal number rode in the second cabin and 800 went third class. The regal suites were occupied, one by Lady Alan Johnson and the oth ers by Baron It as en, the Russian am bassador, and other notables. Some M.hers on the passenger list were Lord Pedes, the fiance of Vivian Gould; Os car Lewlsohn; Mrs. C. C. Rumsey, the daughter of the late E. E. Ilarriman, sind the Marquis de Vlllavleja. The passengers will land next Friday nt Liverpool in time to reach all parts of England in time for a Christmas din ner, unless some accident Interferes. . The vessel will have completed the round trip in twelve days, if her sched ule Is maintained, thus breaking all trans-Atlantic records. , & Notarial Commissions. ( (Salera Bnivu of Th Journal.)

As frisky as a spring lamb, and as gentle, the old pet of the Sherlock fam ily, once the pride of William Sherlock, who died 10 years ago, roams at will in a large vacant lot in the rear of the row . of residences Just north of "Wash ington street, on Twenty-first street, eats the best that can be bad for him and receives the attention of all the members of the family. , This horse, once a very fast animal, has not felt the touch of a rein, nor the pull of a tug for 10 years not isince his owner, William Sherlock, who raised him from a colt, 'tied him In the stall for the last time. The day after the remains of Mr. Sherlock were re moved to the ' cemetery, . "Autocrat's" shoes were 'pulled ' off, and . he was turned loose in his field. "If that horse should be taken away from us, I know he would die very Quickly," said Miss Huber, a member of the .family, "and it Is our hope that he will die before it becomes necessary to send him away." ' ; Nature has been very good to Auto crat. It has preserved his teeth and kept him from disease, but it could not prevent the old bay animal from turn ing gray in a few spots. , Many people remember the 'old horse a on of the fastest that ever traveled the' roads through the city when driven by hie owner, and , even now it is not a few people who think to slip a lump of sugar in their pockets for the horse as they pass the pasture where he loafs and lives a happy, careless life if that is a part of horse life. Autocrat is a bit particular about who enters his little yard. - When a stranger attempted 'to photograph him yesterday he kicked up his heels like a young colt, tore around the field as if to Im press one with his bravery- and then approached the photographer in the hopes that there would be a lump of sugar for him. r Twenty-nine years of service has won this horse 10 years of rest and care al ready, and according to every member of his oid owner's family, he will have the same care 10 years more if he lives. - , ' To Address Southern Educators.

ALOHA EKCUiOi;! ST .Those who accompany the "Aloha" excursion to the 'Hawaiian islands, sail ing direct from Portland February 1 next, will have an opportunity of seeing the wortt the United States govern ment has now in progress of fortifying those Islands. This work is an accom plishment that is 6-ttractlng the atten tion of the entire civi'ised world. It is a work of, International as v well as na tional, interest. The capital of the islands, Honolulu, is situated on the island of Oahu, and Is to be so fortified that It will rival Gib raltar. These fwtiflc&tions, however, are for the island of Oahu only. Pearl harbor is also to be fortified, and there is to be established: there a drydock of dimensions that will comply' with the recent order of tlio navy department -' Anyone, who has visited Honolulu will remember the promontory known -to the world as Diamond Head, tout 'to Ha- waiians as Ix-4hl. It is "t!.e mot con spicuous larninmrk to those entfrinsj the harbor from the Cnltd E1;Ur 1 (-cause of its peculiar formation. This is the place selected by the war department for one of the principal batteries. And the battery is so safely lodged behind the head that it is not visible from the sea. . To- date more thin $2,000,000 has bern expended on Battery harbor, and tho end is not yet. There was a test of ono of the guns some months ago, and the shock was such that the wraught iron flooring of many tons was so crackfd that it had to be sold to a junk dealer and taken away and replaced by strong er material, i t?o far the harbor entrance at Honolulu is as well protected as the entrance to' New Tork. Another month tnd Vebrullry will be hfre bo If you have not made your res ervation for the '"Aloha" excursion do so at once.' If you have not time to call at 249 Washington for' the particulars phone Main 229 or A-2293, and a repre sentative will call upon you. l .
