sociation with his old master of war
may be all the more pleasing to Ad
miral Dewey, whose tastes In such mat
ters are also refined and quiet
' It Is highly probable that Admiral
Dewey will never need but half of the
eight uniforms which the new regula
tions prescribe for him.
v When calling on- the President - or
some similar dignitary and at general
muster on the, first Sunday of every
month, Admiral Dewey will wear what
Is termed - "special" full dress the
garb. In fact In which the accompany
ing cut shows him. This is his very
swellest ' outfit, and consists of a
double-breasted coat, with talis lined
throughout with white silk serge; trou
sers, also of navy blue broadcloth, with
gold lace down the outer seams, a gold
banded cocked hat, epaulets, sword and
full dress sword belt. The coat sleeves
will be adorned with two two-Inch
stripes of gold lace with a single 'one
Inch stripe between, and all surmount
ed by a single star. It Is In this star
that the distinctive marks differ from
Admiral Farragut's, his star bearing a
"small frigate embroidered In silver in
the center, while Admiral Dewey's Is
plain. , There will be a broad band of
gold lace around the collar. His epau
lets," like his shoulder straps, shown at
the bottom of the picture, will bear
four sllvefstars of five points each, the
outer two being superposed upon gold
fouled' anchors, the anchors being the
distinctive marks for an admiral as
compared with the four plain stars of
a general.
" The full dress uniform is to be worn
on all-other occasiewvof -jceremony,
such for instance as in making the first
visit to other officers of flag rank and
on social occasions to which officers
are Invited in their official capacity.
The coat of this uniform is like the
evening dress of the civilian, and with
.the exception of the collar and the but
tons down the front Is adorned just as
the "special" full dress coat Is epau
lettes, sword and cocked hat being
.worn also.
!: On occasions of "ordinary cere
mony," such as in boarding ships of
.war, in making the first visit In port
upon commanding officers, on parades
of ceremony with enlisted men under
arms, and at the ordinary Sunday In
spections excepting, of course, the
first one of the month the admiral will
wear the "dress" uniform. - This uni
form Is a frock coat plain blue or
white trousers, cocked hat epaulettes,
Bword and plain leather belt The ad
miral's belt for this dress is the same
as that prescribed for all other officers.
and Is of black grained leather of not !
more than two Inches in width. The '
belt plate or buckle Is of yellow gilt I
and consists of a wreath of oak leaves
surrounding the naval coat of arms of
thirteen stars encircling a spread eagle
on an anchor.
When calling on foreign officers other
than commanding officers, and on so
cial occasions when frock coats are ap
propriate, the admiral will wear the'
foregoing uniform with the exception :
-of a word and belt Pn all service duty V
. on board ship, aiid aj all times not
proviueu ior uy we regulations ior uie

wear the "service dress" uniform. Two
uniforms are set for evening wear and
are described as "A" and "B." ?A"

By the time Dewey has .provided
himself with all the adornments which
an admiring government prescribes he
will have parted with fully $2,000 of
hard-won pay. Half of the clothes he
will never wear, but he must keep
them on hand for the coming of the

and the bane of the man whose figure

FOR GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY.
State Pentvior "William Goebel,' the
' Caudidate of ths Democracy. -
State Senator William Goebel, the
nomiuee of the Democratic party for
Governor of Kentucky, has taken an
active part In politics since he ended
his law studies. He has lived in Cov
ington thirty-three years.
Senator Goebel was born in Pennsyl
vania and was brought to Covington by
his parents in 1866. He was educated
at Gambier College and at the Cin
cinnati Law School. He has been a
member of the State Senate for eight
years, and was president pro tern, of
that body for one session. He has led
hot campaigns to carry through legisla
tion as well as to secure his own elec
tion. The present elections act in Ken
tucky bears his cwn name, and was
passed through his efforts a year ago.
His fight for the repeal of the Southern
Pacific's charter was a long and strong
one. Mr. Goebel announced himself
some time ago as a free silver, 16 to 1,
Bryan man. Till then it had been very
generally supposed he stood firmly for
sound money. He la accounted one of
the shrewdest politicians in Kentucky.
Sarasate and Hts Imitator.
Of Sarasate, the famous violinist, a
pleasant story was told recently at a
reception in Washington. The great
master enjoys nothing better than giv
ing or receiving a joke. Sometimes his
bon mots are a trifle savage. One even
ing at a social function a young violin
ist who had a much higher opinion
of his own musical ability than any
one else, had the bad taste to play one
of Sarasate's compositons with varia
tions of his own creation. The latter,
were Inappropriate and Inartistic, and
jarred upon the ears of all.
The performer ended his work and
made his way to Sarasate, doubtless ex
pecting a few words of recognition or
praise. Sarasate said nothing, and the
player finally asked, "I hope you recog
nized that piece?"
Sarasate promptly replied: "Certain
ly. It was a piece of impertinence."
An Old. Imng Island Tree.
The "eagle tree" of East Moriches,
L. I., an oak centuries old, is said to be
dying. It had been occupied by a pair
of bald-headed eagles' since the end of
the last century, whether the same
pair all this time is not sure, but such
is the belief. The building of a railroad
100 yards from the tree drove them
away awhile, but in 1887 they returned
and the household was . maintained
until ahu'nter wounded the male eagle
so badly that he died at the foot of the
tree which was his home. They say
the hunter would have been lynched if
he had been caught. Ospreys are said
to have afterward occupied . the nest
which the eagles abandoned, but this
does not seem likely. The owner of the
land where the tree grows says he does
not own the tree, which had rights
there before he came, and it shall nev
er be cut down. New York Sun.

'."7 :,'
FATHER OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
Americana Par Honiara to the Mem
ory of Hnjro Grotiua.
A neat tribute was paid to the mem
ory of Hugo Grotlus, the eminent
Dutch scholar and father of Interna
tional law, by the
American delega
tion at the peace
conference at Th
Hague, Holland,
when our ambas
sador to Germany,
Andrew D. White,
as head of tbe del
egation, eulogized
the famous Hol-
Btroo orotiits. lander and placed
a beautiful wreath of silver oak and
laurel leaves upon bis tomb.
It was meet that America " should
thus honor the memory of Grotlus. and
upon our national holiday; for the dis
tinguished Hollander was the .pioneer
In systematizing international . law,
thereby minimizing the causes of dis
putes among nations, which have re
sulted In the past in so many horrible
wars.
Grotlus, who was born at Delft In
15S3, and who died in 1645, was the
greatest scholar of his age. Not only
was be erudite, but he was beside a
philosopher, a historian, a theologian,
a statesman and a jurist He was the
author of many works which have
been translated into nearly every Eu
ropean language and into Oriental
tongues as well. He was the first who
Investigated the principles of interna
tional law and attempted to reduce
them to a system, and It is for this
effort to bring better principles than
those of his age into the Intercourse of
nations, especially Into the laws of
war, that he is chiefly remembered and
honored to-day.
As a classical Writer and student
Grotlus had no peer in his time. His
knowledge of Scripture was intimate.
His treatise on the "Truth of Christian
Religion" is reckoned the best "apol
ogy" for Christianity in modern times,
and almost in his own day was trans
lated into English, French, German,
Flemish, Persian, Arabic and Greek,
NOVELTY IN SHIP PROPELLERS.
Blades Are Made to "Feather," the
fame an an Oar.
The steamship propeller- now In use
Is the best thing available for the pur
pose, but it is not regarded as a perfect
piece of mechanism, because Its effi
ciency is somewhat hampered by. rea
son of what Is known as a . "side
thrust" A propeller designed to over
come this has been made and patented
by Edward F. Gorman and Penfleld F.
Yost of Philadelphia. The power- is
Imparted to the propeller by means of
a hollow shaft through the center of
which is a stationary shaft holding a
cam arrangement buried in the center
of the propeller hub. The blade spin
dles are journaled within the hub and
are fitted with pins, which fit in a cam
groove and act as cranks, and as the
pins move through this groove they

are given a quarter turn .back : and
forth, thus, imparting the feathering
motion. Two of "the propeller blades
are always in direct-action, presenting
their width fully to the water, while
as the third is returned against the
stream it presents its edge, offering no
resistance to the water.
It Is designed to mount these prefer
ably along the-side of the boat and
their one great advantage is the facil
ity offered for mounting several along
the side of . the vessel. A boat thus fit
ted will, by the positive action-of the
blades, be prevented from- rolling to
any great degree. . " V
This Improvement is especially" ap
plicable to war vessels, since' by the
use of a number of these propellers
along the sides of the vessel the latter
may be maneuvered to much greater
advantage than when only screw pro
pellers are used at the stern..

THE MONTECITO VINE.
OIL SPRINKLER FOR ROADS.
Am Attachment for a Common Wagon
Holding a Barrel.
Recently civil engineers have given
considerable attention to the applica
tion of oils to the roadbeds of electric
and wagon roads. The idea of using oil
on roadbeds originated with the steam
railroad corporations. The purpose
was to prevent dust and foreign matter
rising from the roadbed and getting
Into the bearings and gearing of the
rolling stock. But several other bene
ficial results were obtained. After a
roadbed Is sprinkled with a surfacing
of oil the loose matter is not only so
weighted and caked that it cannot rise
and envelop wagons or carriages be
hind In a cloud of dust but the bed
Itself Is strengthened. The oils form
with the earthy matter to a depth of
three to five Inches, according to the
treatment' and such parts of the bal
last as are penetrated by the oils as
sume a crusty condition, which is Im
pregnable to rain and in a great meas
ure is Impregnable to frost This state
of the roadbed Is highly serviceable.
Under ordinary conditions the earth
as It naturally exists In a carriage
road Is porous enough to receive and
ertain oil to a depth of several inches.
As oil and water do not combine, the
moisture is driven off and the earth be
comes compact to such an extent that
any future doluge of water simply
flows off over It In order to build up
an oil-saturated surfacing of this.-type
certain operations are followed.. Some
have gone to considerable expense in
the direction of sprinkling devices' for
this work, while others use a simple
oil sprinkling pipe leading from a cask
or oil barrel, which Is conveyed over
the road on a wagon. This barrel 1
provided with the necessary cohtro.
ling devices, which are connected with
a lever regulated by the driver. A form
of sprinkling apparatus is joined to the
bottom 'of the tank, as Iff the Illustra
tion, and this sprays the oil' over the
roadbed. Several trips are niade until
the ballast Is saturated near the top,
after-wnlch the crust forms, which will
last for years before another treatment
Is needed. Cheap grades of crude pe
troleum are used. . , f
The drawing shows the plan usually
adopted for distributing oil jpver dirt
roads. It consists In placing a barrel
of crude 61L on blocks, upon a common
wagon, which is drawn over the sec
tions of the road which are to receive
the oil. The barrel is placed bung
down, and the pipe A is screwed In.
This pipe can project ' downward
through the wagon bottom or drop to
the ground over the rear.x';The connect
ing pipe is joined with the distributer,
B. The latter Is simply a perforated
pipe. If a road surface eighteen feet
wide is to be covered, one barrel of
crude oil will do for about eighty feei
in length. .
She Li 't Him Wear a Nightcap.
To the Earl of Essex was granted the
privilege of wearing a nightcap In the
royal presence of Queen Mary, says
the New York Telegram. The fact Is
mentioned In Miss Strickland's "Lives
of the Queens of England" as being
one of .the, odd. reward, bestowed by
Mary upon her friends after her acces
sion. , f'"' .
The Earl was a valetudinarian and
had a great fear of uncovering his head.
Considering, therefore, that the colds
he dreaded respected no person, he pe
titioned Queen Mary for leave to wear
his nightcap In her' royal presence. The
Queen not only gave him leave to wear
one; 'but 'two nightcaps if he pleased.
His patent for this priivlege Is unique
In royal annals: "Know ye that we do
grant to our well-beloved and trusty
cousin and councillor, Henry, Earl of
Sussex, license and nardon to wear his
;ap, cod'f or nightcap, or any two .of
them at his pleasure, as well In our
presence as In the presence of any oth
er person within this realm, or In any
other place In our dominions whatso
ever during his life; and these our let
ters shall ' be sufficient warrant In his
behalf." . .
The Queen's seal, with the garter
above it, was affixed to this singular
grant Three persons In Great Britain
alone enjoy the privilege of remaining
covered in the royal presence, namely:
Lord Forester, Lord Kineale, and the
master of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Buffet-library cars of the latest
build have been placed in service on
the O. R. & N. fast mail trains. The
library car embraces a spacious smok
ing saloon, furnished with easy chairs,
writing desks, a well-selected library
of standatd and popular books, guide
books and current periodicals, a well
stocked buffet, a barbel shop and an
apartment for baggage.
The Oregon Short Line have also in

tions to and from the East. New chair

One of the best cosmetics for bicycle
riders or persons upon the water, is
fresh cucumber juioe. This will aid in
keeping the skin of the face soft and
smooth. To extract the juice from the
cucumber, first peel it and then cut it
into thick slices and press the juioe out
with a lemon squeezer. A simple and
harmless remedy for sunburn is to'
bathe the face in buttermilk.
' The oil left from sardines is an ex
cellent substitute for butter in mixing
fish bakes.
Pure grape juice, says an ..authority
on foods, is invaluable in either sick
ness or health. In fevers it is both
food and medicine, and is more and
more used by physicians. Oranges and
pineapples make a delicious juioe, but
the small fruits are more valuable.
Currants, nsed alone or mixed with a
third of raspberries, are more so; and
the huckleberry and elderberry yield
products not to be despised. Blackber
ries, field or garden, are valuable me
dicinal agents, and the poorest cherry,
undatable as a fruit, becomes nectar
when made into a drink. Art and
