of twenty-two pounds each. The bulk
of the crop is produced in Tennessee,

Wharves, Which Obstruct the Way

Island United States Werehant
Marine Seldom Seen in Ports of the
United Klnud-oin— Matters of Inter
est to Shippers and Mariners.
The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Compa
ny's big dredge, which is working on ihe
old wharves at the entrance to slip No. 3
into the Terminal Company’s property, is
making progress in the tedious work it is
prosecuting. Much difficulty attends the
work owing to the large rock and tinkers
which form part of the old wharves. Ihe
dredge has cleared about half the way
across the entrance, and will in the course
of it day or so probably strike another lot
of piling, and anew embankment on which
to work.
Ships That Went to England.
Much has happened since 1850 :n the mat
ter of American shipping. Tlo n 'He docks
of Liverpool were full of splendid wooden
built sailing ships under the Stars and
Stripes To-dav a difficulty would be .x
--perienced in finding a representative of the
United States mercantile marine at al
most any port of the Untied Ktngd m The
American sailing ships of the China cllp
,M r age were the embodiment of a sail a s
dream, end to meet one at sea. und >r
clouds of white cotton canvas, with every
thing drawing, from three lofty skysa.ls
and royal studding sails to three hugh
courses, was, indeed, a revelation.
The masters and officers of Ihese shtpt
have never been surpassed in seamanship,
and the way in which rapid passages were
made Is almost beyond belief. No sail
ing ship in the world's history has ever
put to shame the record pas age of the
American ship Dreadnaught, Sandy H o;
to Queenstown in nine days, seven! en.
hours, under Capt. S. Samuels, who Is s i.I
living in New York, or that of the Aber
deen White Star sailer Thermopylae. Copt
Kimball, from England to Melbourne in
sixty days.
Child Christened "Delaware.**
A child was born to Mrs Beatty, wife
Of Capt Robert Beatty of the ship I.yiul
hurst (Bn. fiom Java, when the vessel was
at anchorage Friday night at the Dela
ware Breakwater. Capl. Hi atty decided
immediately, In honor of tlie waters in
which the ship was at the time of the
birth, to have the babe—a boy—christened
"Delaware Beatty."
The owners of the bark Marie Sieden
burg have not yet arranged 'o put th
vessel into her new service. T hi.- will like
ly be done, however, in the course of a few
days.

FAREWELL TO GEN. WRIGHT.
He Presented His Views on the
Hnestlon of Expansion.
Memphis, Tenn., April 2.—Gen. Luke E.
Wright was given a farewell banquet by
his friend to-night. Two hundred people
were present. Among them were Govs.
McMillin of Tennessee and Jones of Ar
kansas. Speeches were made by Chief
Justice Snodgrass, ex-Congressman Pat
terson and others. . ■
Gen Wright was visibly affected when
he arose to reply to the kindly expres
sions from all quarters. After thanking
his friends he took up the question of ex
pansion and reviewed the purchase of
Louisiana and the taking in o f Florida,
California and Alaska. Gen. \N right con
“"We 1 may assume, therefore if there
Is any force on the doctrine of practical
construction, that the power to expand is
Inherent and Inexhaustible. In short, tha.
whatever additional territory the people
of the United States think they need and
can rightfully acquire, they may const!-
tutionally take.
"In each instance the question Is one
of expediency and not of power, to be de
termined upon a consideration of all the
attendant advantages of the transaction.
The speeker said that the argumeni
against imperialism seemed to him irrel
evant as it sets up a man of straw to bu
knocked down. The only tmperator to
whom our allegiance ts due, is the will
of the sovereign people, expressed in a
manner they have subscribed.
Gen. Wright said that it has always
been his belief that the Island of Cuba
should be a part of the United States.
"I do not subscribe to the doctrine that
wherever the flag once floats it must float
forever; but I do say that wherever the
flag is rightfully raised It should never
be furied in violation Of the dictates of
duty and honor. To abandon these islands
now, to my mind, would be a blot upon
our good name among mankind for all
"When all opposition to our authority
is at an end. and not before, the question
as to how the islands can be best govern
ed becomes at once and always, not only
a legitimate, but a highly important topic
1 fol.discussion. There shall be upon this
as upon all other important matters, full
and fr, e Interchange of thought."
Gen. Wright closed with an affectionate
good-by to his friends and associates.
“DAZZLING SILVER" WAS PLATED.
Col. Bellinger Tells About the Fit
ting* of the Snniner.
In the House of Representatives the
other day Congressman Driggs of ♦lew
York created a mild sensation by charg
ing the war department with gross ex
travagance in fitting up the transport
Sumner at New York. He asserted that
dazzling silver and magnificent cut glass
had been provided for the transport until
>sh%* was second in appointment only to
Che private yacht of a multi-millionaire.
It appears that Col. John B. Bellinger,
who was depot commissary in this ciiy
during the war with Spain, was engaged
directly or indirectly in fitting up the ves
sel. He has given some facts in repjy to
Mr. Driggs' chaiges. The New York T.mee
says;
"Col. John B. Bellinger of the quarter
master general's office produced some fig
ures showing the cost of articles referred
10 in Mr. Driggs' speech. As to the cost
of the titling out of the Sumner, his re
port agreed with those of Assistant Secre
tary Melßlejohn that they did not exceed
$300,030. Until the bills of the Norfolk
rnavy yard people are received the exact
figures cannot he given. The transport
was generally fitted up. as have been the
otlieis put into long distance service.
The cost of repaiis at Brooklyn, which
Mr. Driggs said w..s SB,OOO, and should
have been $2,000, was, Col. Bellinger said,
$1,945. The tumblers and water bottles in
the staterooms, supplied according to u
lump bid f. r all crockery in the ship, can
be bought at retail for 39 cents and $1.25,
respectively, Instead of the 75 cents and
$2.75 asserted by Mr. Driggs. The linen
of the ship is not of the best, but It Is
good, the table cloths having cost 87H
1 cuts a yard, napkins 22 cents each, she ts
each, pillows, 14 cents each, and
pillow-slip*. H’v cents each. The "mag
nificent gla.-s doors tor staterooms" are
the ordinary frosted glass used for the
purpose, and rod 56 oen s each. The ta
bles for the dining room were made by
the Norfolk navy yard, .and the exact
cost Is not known.
Mr. Driggs understated the cost of the
chairs In the dining room when he said
It was $lB each. They are the standard
chairs used in all ocean steamers, and
cost S2O each. Mahogany was selected for
the woodwork of tlie ship, because the
wood is found to siand the atmospheric
conditions on beard ship better than any
other used for the purpose. The original
outlay may be a Utile higher than It
would be if other wood were used, but
the durability of mahogany- commends
It as most economical In the end.

lo bv Mr. Puggs as having cost ll.finn. cost

These hymns and poems, from Saint
Stephen to Longfellow, represent and ex
press the highest hopes and aspirations of
the race. Thejj live because they do ex
press them In the highest wy— through
music and song. They have given hope to
millions who are dead and will give con
solation to millions yet unborn.
With each hymn or poem there is a
brief sketch of the author, and an aceoun*
of the circumstances under which It was
written. This gives new color, new Ilf ■
and new meaning; also the music for the
same.
The pictures of Lyte, dying of consump
tion, and wilting with his lasi ebbing
strength, “Abide With Me;" of Newman,
torn with doubt and menial anguish be
cause he could not accept Calvanism, put
