A WAESHIFS KEC0RD. Ih.0 Varied Servica Performed by the Flagship Chicago. Borne Interesting Facts Concerning a Four Tears' Cruise of the Slost Remark able Ship In the White Squadron. Of. all the war ships' in the world, there is probably not one so well known throughout the two hemispheres as the white cruiser Chicago, the flagship of Ecar Admiral Erben, now doing so much to uphold the honor and dignity of the United States in London. She is the most extensively known war vessel for many reasons. Not only has she visited more ports than any other war ship afloat, says the Hew York Sun, but she has camel the stars and stripes into more harbors in a given space of time than any vessel of her kind in the history of the world; she has been seen by more people of different nationali ties and has fired more salutes, burned more powder in peaceful festivities, and has received more' honors and at tentions from foreign nations than all the other ships of the navy combined. The Chicago, in addition to having been the pride of the United States navy longer than any vessel in any other navy has held the distinction, has made the longest recorded single cruise and has participated in more in ternational naval demonstrations in a given period of time than any other war vessel of modern times. During a cruise extending over four years and a half the Chicago traveled the seas of the old and new worlds and covered a distance of 49,805 nautical miles, made port 2,781 times, entered ,970 harbors, came to anchor . 3,563 times on foreign stations, and fired over 4,000 salutes, varying from thir teen to twenty-one guns, and received in return an equal number of compli ments in the way of expended -powder. Among the lands visited were Spain, France. Italy, Portugal, Algeria, Tripoli, Greece, Malta, Egypt, Brazil, Yejjeela, jNicaragua Barbados, Era gnay, Argentine, the Azores, Great Britain and Ireland. During this ex tended cruise the Chicago carried the pennant of one admiral, although she had three different captains and sever al complete changes of officers, owing to the operation of naval regulations aa to sea and shore service. - The: Chicago is also a remarkable ship in many other respects. As the flagship of the famous white squadron she did great service to her country in popularizing the United States navy, among the navies and nations of the earth and among the people of the United States. She was the most pop ular ship in the navyj not only with the offlcers, but also with the bluejackets and marines. .With the blue jacltets-she was popular because she was a comfort able ship, and while the discipline was" perhaps,- somewhat strict her crew had more than the usual privjges in the way of opportunities to vibit ports. They .got more shore liberty and more chances of rewards for good conduct. They had the use of the ship's band forward of the mast twice a week, when the men were allowed to receive visitors and have dancing with their friends. This was a most popular feature" of bluejacket life on the Chi cago. The popularity of the Chicago among the rank and file is further shown . by the fact that the average number of applications for transfer tp her from other ships was invariably about 400. With the officers she was a favorite because of her comfortable quarters; and being the flagship, she came in for more than the usual amount of receptions and attentions from foreign powers in ports visited. The officers of the Chicago have been entertained and received officially by the representatives of nearly all the chief European and South and Central American governments, and the Chica- go in return has had the honor of hav ing entertained the representatives of more foreign governments than any. naval vessel afloat.' The recent reception given to her offlcers by the' representatives of the government of Great Britain and the return reception to be 'given" by them may be considered crowning honor in her career.' ' Antelope Preserve In Africa. 'An effort is being made in England to form a society with the object--of preserving-may of . the- species of Booth African, antelopes, which "are la danger - of soon . becoming extinct. The scheme," which- is being promoted and supported by a number of wellv known sportsmen and scientists, is -to inclose a suitable tract of country In the district near Fort Salisbury with a ' wire fencing of, say, forty-five miles in circumference, and drive into- this in-;' closure small herds of the still-existing species of antelopes which it is de-: sired to preserve. - At certain seasons of the year, to prevent overcrowding,: a 'number of specimens would: be let. loose or exported for the use of zoolog--ical societies. . To carry out the plan a, comparatively moderate eapital would be required; and it is said that the. British South African company will rex: ceive & petition before long asking their.: consent to the. fencing in of the pro posed preserve. . -. -. '. " .

Decided BURIED HIS GOLD The Heirs of an Old Man Who Just Died Searching For His Treasures. Bad Blood In West Virginia Two Women Murdered In California Bud Effect of the Weathrr on Wh lnffton Crop. ' Chicago, "July 6. The program of the gold men has just begun to assume. shape, though submitted to but few leaders. Whitney, the recognized leader of the gold forces, has counseled the anti-silver men to stand together, and be ready to act in accord when occasion requires. He has not indi cated what action will be taken, but refers to it as something determined upon. It is understood that as the matter stands, tie course is not to walk out of the convention, but remain until its close. Then, when the silver men have captured everything and ad journed, a conference will be held and arrangements made for a convention some weeks later, of anti-silver demo crats, for the purpose of puttlDg in nomination candidates whom tbey can support. Of course, if the silver men go to the extreme of turning out the gold delegates in Michigan and cap turing that state, a bolt may be im mediately orecipitated, but the con vention to select a. gold candidate is not likely to be hastened by an actual bolt from the convention. Some of the gold men would prefer that no candidate be put up, so they could remain within the organization and vote against the ticket named by the silver men. This course is prefer red by the Western men who feel the silver organization to be verv strone in their states and that bolters will get the . cold shoulder, in the future. Many Eastern men do not wane to be put in the position of having to cbose between a republican candidate and a democratic silver candidate. General Tracey, of New York, says he does uot think a boh or a separate ticket will be organized at this con-, vention, but the people who do not approve of the nomination of a silver mn will demand another candidate. He thinks the situation will not be far different from that of 1872, when the stalwart democracy refused to support Horace Greeh-y and put Charles O'Con-. noirtrpTM a; c'alfiaWate Catarrli Cured.

A BENEVOLENT BARON. 80s Big Winnings on the Turf Distributed Among the Poor. Bather more than a year since, says the London Telegraph,' we gave a list of the charitable donations bestowed by Baron de Hirsch in ' 1893 upon the hospitals, homes and benevolent insti tutions which he had selected as recip ients of the large sums of money won by him upon the turf in public stakes in 1891 and 1893. In the first of these years the baron won about S35.000 and in the second year about 8175,000, in cluding such small items as moneys paid to the second in selling rases and the prizes attaching to second and third places in general races. - Altogether the sum amounted to about 8210,000, and . this munificent gift represented the baron's gross winnings in public stakes, from which no deduction was made for the expense of training a large stud of horses, for traveling charges, forfeits, stakes, jockey's fees and other items comprised in the ..large and swollen bills with which owners of race horses are but too familiar. - It was universally adtsltted that the for tunate owner of the famons mare La Fleche, by whom the greater portion of the above named large sum -was-won, had displayed great generosity: in giving away all his winnings for Charitable purposes without subtract ing1 his expenses. . What is to be Baid, however,-when, as in the present in stance, the example 6et by the baron in 1893 is not only followed but dupli cated in 1894? During the racing sea son which close in . November last Baron de Hirseh's horses won in public stakes about 837.500. .: This seemed to hiirt.V'ana trr-thekinarylriioner 1 through whom ' in both cases the baron's bounty has flowed, - to be but a small sum for distribu tion in comparison ; with the no ble contribution to London, charities made in the previous year. Under these circumstances the baron re marked that, without establishing a precedent, he had made np his mind to double the sum that his gross winnings amounted to in 1893, and accordingly he drew a check for 875,000, whioh he handed to his friend for distribution. It was bis wish that this sum should be divided among London hospitals and charitable institutions, and 06,500 was thus disposed of, the balance remain ing having been reserved for sundry smaller calls. ST. PAUL'.S INSURANCE. Nearly Half a Bllllion in Money Many Precautions Taken Against Lightning. St. Paul's cathedral is insured, says "Spare Moments."- Out of the total proceeds of the fabric fund, for keep ing the building- in repairs, about 86,000 a year Si, 250 is expended on a policy jf insurance against fire. The church is insured to the extent of 3495,000. So far as human ' precautions are of avail, the cathedral is secure against light ning on a scientific plan which was suggested by the Eoyal society, as far back as 1709. . , . The 6even iron scrolls which support the ball and cross, are connected with other rods, used as conductors, . which unite them with seyeral large-iron' Ijars descending obliquely to the stone work of the lantern, and connected by an iron ring, with four other iron bars to the' leaden covering of the great eutxla. a distance of fifty feet. Thence 'the communication-is continued down ward by the rainwater pipes to the lead-covered roof, and thence again by leaden water pipes which pass down into the earth, . partly ' through iron, and partly through lead. On the clock tower, looking down Ludgate Hill, a bar of iron connects the pineapple or namentation at the top with the iron staircase which leads np to it inside, and thence to the lead on the roof of the church. ' The bell tower at the northwest an -gle is similarly" protected. By these means the metal used in the building is made available for the work of con ductors, the metal itself being em ployed merely for that purpose, being exceedingly small in quantity when compared with the bulk of the fabric which it serves to secure. AN ARMLESS NIMROD. Bags More Game Than Any Other Hunter In the Same County. . An armless. Ximrod is the wonder of the people and the envy of the sports men of Bucks county, says the Phila delphia Becord. He is John Simon, of ; Zion Hill, and his prowess is some- . thing marvelous. Simon's arms were ground oil above the elbows in ma- j chinery a few, years ago, but his love of hunting spurred his ingenuity, and he overcame his seeming insurmounta ble obstacle. ' He straps his single-barrel, breech-loading hammerless gun to bis. right arm, and when he sights, game he swings - the piece over the stump of his left arm, takes quick aim , and fires, generally with telling effect, j His mode of loading is as nhiqe as hia shooting.' He carries the shells in hia hat, and when he wants one bows low, , drops his hat on the ground, pulls out I the empty shell with his teeth and In a simllnr manner loads, then pushing his head into - his hat to re-cover his head. Despite his . affliction, Simon has done some of the best Bh sot ing in Bucks county the past year, his record standing: Sixteen opossums, five pheasants, five dozen blackbirds, thirty seven rabbits and twenty-one quail.

Into,- A Begioa Where Human, Beings Cmoao Exist on Account of , Its Fxtreme Heat and Aridity A Hog IJndertaltlng. - : ' '' Among the many- schemes now agi tated by irrigationists is the reclaiming of the famous "Death Valley" in the, great American desert. It is proposed to make it an inland sea by turning the melting snows and rains that fall upon the Sierra Nevadas into this "dry sea. " The valley is two hundred feet below the floor of the desert, is one hundred and fifty miles long, thirty miles wide at the northern end, tapering to about ' three miles in width at the southern extremity. One of the schemes to re claim the desert is to turn the Colorado river into- the lower end, or, as it is called, -the Colorado desert, from which water would naturally seek its level in Death valley. Another gigantic scheme is to tap the ocean by a system of canals. This would reclaim millions upon, millions of acres of land by mod' ifying the torrid climate, and perhaps rendering this desolate region habita ble for other beings than horned toads, rattlesnakes and lizards, .j As the re clamation, if feasible, ..would require the expenditure of several millions of dollars, besides leakage, it is doubtful,' says the ; Chicago v Tribune,'1 whether congress will '. lend a' listening ear. It is believed hat- when Death, .valley shall have , been filled with water the reclamation of the entire upper portion of the desert is assured. ' An opposition theory s that as . the sands of the des ert absorb the streams that trickle down from the - mountains before they ' make ' much progress .the . absorption would , be very- rapi; ; or, in other words, that the valley. would not hold, . water; also, that. as the temperature, ranges from 110 to 136 degrees the year round the ' absorption would also be' very great. - The schemers admit that the absorption would: be ' great,, but that it 'would decrease: as it became modified,- and would soon become so, permanently. ...!.... .. , r1- ," - They deny that, the valley will' not' hold water, by- proving, to their own, satisfaction at least, that several cen turies ago the entire desert, including -, the hot valley, formed an arm of the- . gulf of California., . In proving this one of .'the promoters of this gigantic scheme told of finding the timbers of an old vessel in the desert about one' hundred miles Inland. But, the usual J'ofcl pioneer", comes forward and upsets- thotf miathml nf InJwntiiKi min n ing with the statement that in the earlv davs he and others built a ferrv j boat and started with it to a point on the Colorado river; their or teams dy ' ing irom thirst, the boat was aban doned,, and was soon Covered by the drifting sands. These theories, and more, will all. come to the front as soon 'as the pro moters of the enterprise begin the v.$i tation. There is no fear that it will amount to anything, yet congress has done many impracticable things. Death valley is the hottest place on earth, so far as known np to date.: There is no spot so deadly, more deso late and so thickly strewn with dead.. It is appropriately named, for human life cannot exist amid its poisonous va-' pors, and "even the birds are Infected with its noxious gases and fall dead in their flight. Heavy rains never fall in this death-dealing place, and the few light showers, only make the atmos-.. phere more humid. If possible.. With the thermometer at one hundred and' thirty-six degrees in the shade, and the sun beating against the black bristling rooks, reflecting baok the intensified heat, one may form. some idea of this desolate region. It is the dry est place , in the world the bodies of those who , perished from ( thirst have "been found in after years completely mummified. The corpses wereiiot disturbed by even ' the prowling, hyena.' - Animal life 'can- ' not exist there nlv the reDtile snecics. : Men have died from . thirst, and yet . water was within reach. , The blistering heat and dryness of " the ' air ' rendered - it Impossible to keep ther body -to the proper temper- :- attire to sustain life. -This valley' was named by Gov. . Blaisdell, of Nevada.- He and few -others were mak- i ing a survey, and found the mummified - -remains of -about twenty emigrants. who, in attempting to cross the valley, lost their way and died of thirst and starvation. .... - . INDIANS DIE IN PRISON. Apaches Yield to Consumption la Conflae ment at Yuma. . . . It la a remarkable fact, though one " easily accounted for, that, imprison-4 ment at Ynma for any term of not less ' than five - years -of an- Apache or any 1 mountain Indian is equivalent to im-. prisonment for life, and the cause of t death is invariably consumption. This is a disease, says an Arizona ex change," almost unknown' among the ,' . Apaches under normal conditions of climate and habit. The change, how ever, from the high altitudes of - the ' mountains and the bracing mountain , air to the lower level of Yuma, with it more than semi-tropical heat, wears away what mountain storms and ex- . ; posure cannot even indent. " " ' - ' On March 29 of this year Say-es, a 3 Tonto Apache, died at Yuma. He was ' a member of the Kid's band, and was one of the murderers of' Sheriff Bey nolds and his deputy, who were guard- -ing them on a journey to Yuma. The -murderers, along ' with the Kid, es- " caped. Say-es - alone was afterwards ; recaptured, and all the rest of the band -except the Kid have since been killed. Say-es was sentenced for life from Pinal county.. . Two months before the death of Say-es Dr. Cotter pronounced his case hopeless and recommended hia pardon " on account of the danger of infection. . The governor decided to grant .tho i pardon, but vigorous protests came up from Final, Graham and Gila, oo unties. The pardon was not granted, and Say-ea , . died two months later.
