!N nill'll’ipjOHT RANDLE “MIRACLE MAN OF SEA" C’upt. William G. Handle, dean of American mariners, knighted by the queen of Holland for bravery at seu, a former United States naval officer and a shipbuilder of note, has retired to private life after sen iug for the last 17 years as marine superintendent of the New York Shipbuilding com pany’s plant at Camden, N. J. After 60 years of labor, the vet eran sea captain, at his home in Ches ter, Pa., will spend the remainder of his days, surrounded by pictures of his treasured ships, testimonials from those to whom he rendered the great est service, trophies of war and fond memories, lie is now seventy-eight years old. Captain Randle has been the “mirude man” of t lie sea in his day. It was he who lirst guided a steamship across the deep without a rudder. While he was captain of the American line steamship Paris which still runs between Philadelphia and Southampton, the ship lost its rudder when 1,209 miles out at sea early in 1894. He navigated the ship safely back to Queens town, without uny discomfort to*the hundreds of passengers on board. When the Spanish-American war broke out, Captain Randle volun teered. He was commissioned a commander in the United States navy the day war was declared. Captain Randle was assigned to the St. Louis as its navigating officer. While the ship was under tire mauy times, and was attached to Admiral Sampson’s fleet during the blockade of Santiago, Cuba, it escaped damage. The biggest and most thrilling rescue at sea in which the veteran mariner ever participated was ‘the one that won him knighthood. Captain Handle, with the aid of his crew on the St. Louis, saved 2112 souls, including the passengers and crew, of the Dutch steamship Veendam, of the llolland- American line, at seu at midnight on February 10, 1898. It required three hours and ten minutes of the most heroic work to get all of the 212 persons safely on board the St. Louis. IF NEWTON HAD ONLY KNOWN M! fact he had a sou named Jess Willard —the Jess Willard. Now, mind you, the last time Newton had seen Orla Willard, father of Jess, was at a period in their young lives when prizefighters ranked well to the top as heroes. “What a lot more life would have meant to us both,” says Newton, “if only Orla and I could have known, when playing about the schoolyard, that he would grow up to be the parent of a heavyweight champion. BRANDEIS KNOWN AS FIGHTER Louis D. Brandeis, the newest member of the United States Supreme court, has been known as u fighter throughout his public career. He has been chiefly noted for his arguments before the interstate commerce com mission in opposition to the requests of the railroads that they be allowed to Increase their freight rates, appear ing as counsel for shippers fighting the Increased rates, although he also opposed the New llaveu monopoly of transportation in New England and served as counsel for individuals in proceedings Involving the constitu tionality of women’s ten-hour labor laws in Oregon and Illinois and a nine-hour law in Ohio. He took part in the tight in the city of Boston to retain the municipal subway system, iu establishing a slid ing scale gas system in Boston, and was chairman of the arbitration board In the New York garment workers’ strike in 1910. He also played a celebrated part as couusel for Glavis in the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation and has been the author of numerous articles on public franchises in Massachusetts, life insurance, wage earners’ prob lems, the scientific management of labor problems and the trusts. URGE ASTRONOMER FOR SENATE " ’ . For his work on Mars Doctor Lowell lias received the Janssen medal, of the French Astronomical society and a gold medal from Sociedad Astronomica de Mexico. He is a member of many scientific bodies in various countries, and it the author of numerous books and papers on astronomical subjects. . < < • • . 1. -1 t)/U k Byron It. Newton, assistant secre tary of the treasury of the United States, was raised on a farm up in western New York. He had a boyhood chum named Orla Willard. A while ago Newton made a journey back to ids old stamping ground and visited the little red schoolliouse where he had first coped with such problems as how long it will take a man to per form a piece of work that three men do in four days and a half. On a piece of weatherbeaten siding he discov ered the initials of himself and Willard carved there one day at re cess a great many years ago. This set Newton to thinking and lie wondered what hud become of his old friend Willard. On his return to Washing ton he wrote a letter of inquiry and asked, by way of showing friendly in terest, if Willard had any family. Back came an answer to the letter. Yes, Orla Willard had a family. In .. niftar w Miv • ,w.. W Dr. Percival Lowell, who has been a legal resident of Arizona for some years, is being urged by representative Republicans of that state to become a candidate for the United States sen ate. lie has taken an active interest in Arizona politics, and a plank relat ing to the restriction of immigration, written by him, was unanimously car ried by the Coconino county conven tion and was being favorably received throughout the state. L>octor Lowell’s famous observa tory at Flagstaff, maintained at his ex pense, has made that Arizona com munity known throughout the scien tific world, and the people of the state as a whole have shown their eagerness to recognize his public-spirited serv ices. It is at Flagstaff that the ob servations on Mars ha,e been made that have furnished a basis for con structive speculation as to the likeli hood of animal life on that planet EPITOME OF THE WEEH EVENTS in a Condensed Form the Happenings of All Nationalities Are Given For Our Readers. WEEK’S NEWS AT A GLANCE Important Event* of the United State* and Particularly in the Scuth. European War Gains of additional ground by the Italians from the Austrians, by the French from the Germans northeast of Verdun and by the Germans from the Russians in Volhynia are chronicled in the latest official communications. Northeast of Verdun the French have recaptured more ground from the Germans north of Hill 321 and around the Thiaumont work. The Germans are succeeding in the Champagne district, according to Ber lin. The British offensive has not yet materialized, but they are carrying out at various points successful raids on German positions. London reports emphasize the heavy shelling to which the British have subjected the German lines on a front of ninety miles. One dispatch tells of the obliteration of an entire vil lage. The Austrians in the region south east of Trent are still falling back before the advance of the Italians, who have captured numerous import ant points. The towns of Posina and Arsiero have again fallen into the hands of the Italians, while in the entire re gion between the Adige and Brenta rivers numerous peaks and mountain positions have been retaken. There has been a slackening in the intensity of the bombardment around Verdun except for an infantry attack, launched by the Germans against the village of Fleury. The British claim to have repulsed a German attack southeast of Ypres. Four German air craft are reported to have been brought down the Brit ish. On the front in northern Russia, the Germans are making it lively for the Russians, both in bombardments and infantry attacks. The Russian war office reports that General Brussiloff’s army captured 198,972 officers and men between June 4 and 23. The Russians report the capture of a number of heavy guns, machine guns and bomb throwers, reaching more than one thousand. The Italian auxiliary cruiser Citta ili Messina and the French torpedo boat destroyer Fourche have been tor pedoed in the Strait of Otranto. The Russians have conquered the whole of the Austrian crownland of Bukowina, and the Austro-Hungarians %re making tbeir way toward the Car pathian passe a. Reports from America that Germany inspired the Mexicans to revolt against the United States is treated with ridicule. The Germans have gained another step in their progress toward Verdun by capturing French positions north east of that fortress. Mexican News President Wilson’s peremptory de mand on General Carranza for the re lease of the American prisoners held in the Chihuahua penitentiary met with compliance, and it is stated that the prisoners will be sent to El Paso, Texas. The preparations of the United States for war will go steadily for ward. There will be no interruption of the rush of National Guardsmen to the border. During any negotiations that may occur, it is asserted in high circles that the United States will insist upon freedom of movement of the troops in Mexico. Evidence that the possibility of war with the United States has healed the breach between the Carranza and Vil la factions in Mexicans politics con tinues to manifest itself in El Paso, Texas. Border dispatches state that more than a hundred Mexicans who had been followers of Villa have crossed the Rio Grande and have been receiv ed with open arms by the de facto government. Mr. and Mrs. Williams Parker, who had been married only five months, were murdered near Double Adobe ranch, twenty-five miles northeast of Las Cienegas, N. M. Civil authorities and detachments of cavalry from Cien egas, Alamo, Hueco and Culbertson's ranch have taken up the trail of the Mexican bandits who committed the deed. Military authorities of Mexico have prohibited the departure from that | country of any of her subjects—either men or women —on the ground of "military necessity.” Berlin reports that the aeroplane on Karlsruhe, June 22, was deadly, show ing that 110 persons, including five women and seventy-five children, were killed, and 147 persons injured, including twenty women and seventy nine children. Passengers arriving in New York City from Mexico say that the safety of Americans in Mexico depends upon the*uncertain power the Mexican mil itary powers hold over the people, supported by the fear of United States war vessels which Mexicans generally believe to be waiting w ithin easy call. Domestic The Indiana Progressive state cen tral committee instructed William Holton Dye, national committeeman from Indiana, to communicate with the central committees of other states and start a movement calling another national convention of the party to name a presidential candidate. A United States flag 350 feet in length, over a city block in length, will be carried by the members of the Elks’ Lodge of Mobile in the prepar edness parade in Mobile, Ala., July 4. Solicitation of liquor orders in pro hibition territory through the use of the mails should be prohibited, was stated in debate on the postoffice ap propriation bill in the senate at Wash ington. Major General Wood has issued a statement in which he declares that “the present system, or rather lack of system of equipping the state mil litia for active duty was the main reason for delay in the mobilization and sending of troops to the border.” Theodore Roosevelt is preparing to offer a division of approximately 12,- 000 men to the United States govern ment, accompanied by his application for a commission as major general, in the event of war with Mexico. According to Washington advices so far the appropriations for national de fense at this session of congress car ried in bills passed, reported or in committee total near $556,980,557.' At Pensacola, Fla., Ethel and Tenny Fudge, thirteen and nine years old, girls, were found dead in a house on the outskirts of Pensacola. Both had been shot through the heart. After an investigation the father was ar rested and is held pending develop ments in the case. The national committee of the Pro gressive party declined to put out a third ticket. Hughes was endorsed, but the committee plainly stated that no member of the party was bound by the endorsement. Washington The American rejoinder to Austria regarding the Austrian submarine at tack on the American steamer Petro lite, December 5, 1915, made public by the state department makes it clear that immediate amends are ex pected by the United States govern ment. It is known in Washington that powerful influences were brought to bear on General Carranza to make him at least turn over the American prisoners. Prominent Mexicans in the United States, as well as American bankers and business interests, flood ed the first chief with messages. An immediate break between the United States and Mexico has been averted by the compliance with the American demand for release of the twenty-three troopers captured in the fight at Carrizal. Whether war has been prevented or merely postponed, no one in Washington will attempt to say. News of the release of the prisoners held in Chihuahua by the Mexicans brought undisguised relief to high of ficials, and it is generally conceded that this move lessens the tension that has prevailed for some time, and certainly makes a crisis less immi nent. It is believed in official circles that notwithstanding Trevino’s threat that he will attack the American forces if they move in any direction except to ward the border, there is a strong pos sibility of settlement of the vexed question by diplomacy. An appropriation of $150,000 for a reunion of Federal and Confederate veterans at Vicksburg in 1917 is in cluded in the sundry civil appropria tion bill passed by the senate. Efforts toward Latin-American medi ation in the Mexican crisis, favored by Carranza officials, collapsed with out having reached the stage of a for mal proposal to the United States. Mr. Lansing says the blame for the present grave outlook anent Mexico rests squarely upon General Carranza, and that the United States has noth ing to arbitrate. War department activities cover a wide field. Supplemental orders to departmental commanders call for greater haste in getting the National Guard to the border. Departmental commanders have been authorized to accept men under the same physical examination they entered the state service. The president has thanked the business men throughout the country who have permitted their employees to serve with the National Guard with out loss of salaries or positions. State department estimates fix the number of Americans remaining in Mexico at approximately 1,000. How ever, all of those who decide to leave are expected to be en route north by the end of June. No consuls now remain in ’the in terior of Mexico. Some are lingering at ports where American war craft are keeping vigil for the refugees. Secretary Lansing has requested the de facto government of Mexico to transmit a definite statement “as to the course of action it has determined upon” through the usual diplomatic channels. The senate adopted the house reso lution authorizing the president to draft National Guardsmen into the federal service. General Funston expects 70,000 Na tional Guards when the full comple ment from the stales are mustered into the federal service. The state department received from the de facto government of Mexico a note stating that the Carrizal fight was the direct result of orders to attack American soldiers moving otherwise than toward the border personally is sued by General Carranza. The Brighter Side. “Trench warfare is said to be fright fully monotonous.” “Maybe so,” replied the peace-loving man, “but considering what is liable to happen in a trench, I should think the average soldier would be glad if it failed to materialize.” A Poser. “The only weapons of the church are those of peace and quiet.” “How about the canon law?" The Effects of Opiates. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in the smallest Coses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later hf°- Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, ana only then if unavoidable. , The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups ana other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them willfully with narcotics. Castoria contains no narcotics if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. /x Genuine Castoria always bears the signature 'Twas Better Thus.

Why does this country tend always to belittle its wealth, its works, its men and its power to meet calamity? It does, and yet we are thought to be a people unembarrassed by modesty. Yankee boastfulness is a proverb in the world, but no Yankee ever told quite all the truth. He never dared, and. besides, he could not make him self believe the whole length and depth and breadth of It.

Their temperament is rich In daring faith and optimism, but poor In confi dence, which is a quality that comes with time. A young people perhaps should not have It.
