“SCHLEY” IS “SLY.”
Hi« Family, Old Marylander*, Hava Long
Used That Pronunciation.
There has been a good deal of specu
lation, not only in naval circles, but
among the public at large, as to the
origin of Cobunodore Winfield Scott
Schley’s name. By some it has been as
serted that he is of German descent, and
by others that he is a relative of the
doughty old hero of the Mexican war.
A little while before Schley tumamw a
commodore he gave a Tribune reporter a
talk which will throw light on the mat
ter.
“At the time I was a puling, mewl
ing baby, without a name or much more
hair on my head than I have now,”
said the gallant officer, playfully brush
ing bapk the locks which so skillfully
conceal his bald pate, “my parents were,
I suppose, at their wits’ end to cudgel
up some name appropriate for the mar
vel of human excellence they undoubt
edly thought me to be. The matter did.
not bother me so much as it does now,
for I wisely refrained from giving an
opinion on the subject, or at least any
that the newspapers would care to pub
lish. At that time, which marks an era
in one life, anyway, General Scott was
in the zenith of his glory and rotundity.
A very great man was Scott at that
time—physically and popularly. He
was a great friend of my parents and
frequently called at our house! As I
said, my parents were cudgeling their
brains to find some name good enough
to tack .on such a morsel of humanity as
myself, and while in the midst of
their councils one day, the huge shadow
of Scott darkened the doorway and cast
its robust shade on me. That settled it.
The circumstance was regarded as an
auspicious omen, and forthwith it was
decided that I was to pass through life
as Winfield Scott Schley.
“Now, for pity’s sake, don’t give my
last name with a German accent. It’s
pronounced Sly—plain, commonplace,
everyday Sly. That’s the way it has
been pronounced in my family as long
as I can remember or ever heard of. I’m
not much on pedigree searching—too
many of my acquaintances have stum
bled across horse thieves and pirates to
make me desirous for that kfnd of rec
reation—but Schley is an old Maryland
family, though why they have stuck on
all those sloppy Dutch consonants I
can’t tell, but it’s Sly I was born, and
it’s Sly I’ll be till my hair ceases to
come out; then you can call me Dinnis
if you like. So long as I have the proud
distinction of drawing a coinb over my
head with a purpose I shall most dis
tinctly and positively object to be called
PJsctaley er any other foreign twisting
of the name. ”
"How do you like the name of the
famous fighter?”
“Like it?” said the gallant sea dog.
“Why, I can’t say that I ever gave it
much consideration. I can only say that
soon after I became a full fledged naval
officer the old general gave a dinner at
the Brevoort House, in Fifth avenue,
New York, at which he invited all the
young men he could find who had been
named after him. It was a great sight.
There they were, several score strong,
and there is no telling how many more
might not have been there had they
known of it Anyway they have turned
out fairly well, at least one of them
having become a general in the United
States army. Well, the old general
wound up the dinner in one of his most
pompous speeches, such as no one can
appreciate unless he has seen and heard
him. He said that he felt highly grati
fied at having his name left to posterity
in such promising young hands, and
of course we youngsters believed all he
said. At any rate I can’t change the
name, and I don’t believe that I’d want
to if I could. ” —New York Tribune.
A Story About ■Commodore Casey.
No one has a higher opinion of the
American sailor than Commodore Casey,
the commandant at the League Island
navy yard, as the following story will
show. Recently there was produced at
one of the local theaters a naval play,
the theme being trouble between Amer
ica and England, in which one of the
performers took the part of a bluff
American sailor. In order to make him
self perfect in his part the actor visited
the navy yard and asked the commo
dore for the privilege of looking around.
The commodore not only granted the
request, but in a personal talk gave the
actor some pointers. Later the actor
submitted the manuscript of his part to
the commodore, who suggested that
some of the lines which were directed
against England be stricken out. One
line was evidently missed by the com
modore. It was as follows, “We haven’t
got much manners, but we can fight
like h—l. ”
After the play had been produced the
actor had photographs taken in costume,
and to show his appreciation of what
, the commodore had done for him he
sent one of the pictures to that official
On the back of urn photograph the actor
wrote the line quoted above and ap
pended his autograph. By the next
mail the performer received a {filter
the commodore, in which he was
given to understand that that official of
the navy knew the American sailor to
be a gentleman at all times. ‘ ' But I ap
prove the last part of the sentence,”
concluded the commodore. —Philadel-
phia Record.
What Ibsen Would Do.
The Danish poet, Peter Nansen, say'
in a recent number of a German maga
zine that Ibsen is becoming much more
agreeable than he used to be A young
woman said to him not long ago, “ W hat
would you do if you had $1,000,000?’.
“If I had $1,000,000,” he replied, “I
should buy an elegant steam yacht,,
with electric lights and all modern oom- 1
forts, with a crew of 120 apd a grand,
orchestra. Then I should invite 20 godd
friends to travel with me. We wooldi
visit many fine regions, but our princi
pal goal would be the island of Ceylon,'
which must be, from all I have heard,
the most beautiful spot on earth? ’
A BESSEMER FAILURE,
Sir Henry** Ship Wlueb Wm to Do Away
With Sca&ickneff. I,
A quarter of a century ago the late Sir
Henry Bessemer tackled - the problem
which thousands of his fellow countrymen
tackle every year In vain—the problem of 1
finding a remedy for seasickness. Mr.
Bessemer’s idea was to secure a quiet
haven of rest in the midst of the vessel at
sea where the voyager might remain and
defy seasickness with ease and dignity.
His plana first began to take shape in
1609, though they did not arrive at the
point of practical experiment until five
years later. He perceived early that the I
notion of gaining steadiness by suspension
on axes, as in the ship’s lamp or compass,
would not suffice, for, though the compass
is by means of Its suspension on a double
axis retained in a horizontal plane, it nev
ertheless rlsfis and falls with the pitching
of the vessel. Hence, in applying the prin
ciple to a saloon, It was necessary to go to
the middle of the ship’s length, where the
pitching is practically nothing, and to the
middle point of her breadth also, where
there is little or no motion.
But there were other difficulties to bo
overcame. Freely suspended objects, such
as pendulums, begin to oscillate whenever
their point of suspension is moved. The
transit of the passengers to and fro would
produce motion, and the action of the
wind on the sides of the vessel would cause
the same effect. Mr. Bessemer believed
that he had overcome these difficulties by
the application of hydraulic power.
■f The hydraulic power was certainly ar
ranged with extreme ingenuity, and the
large saloon, weighing 140 tons and. sus
pended in the midst of the vessel, could be
moved with a touch. In order to make
room for the saloon the engines and boilers
were moved from the usual place which
they occupied in the old paddle steamers
to points on either side fore and aft of the
saloon, and duplicate sets of boilers and
engines were provided—“in order to short
en” the dreaded channel voyage.
The hydraulic suspension was not the
only ingenious device which was depend
ed upon to keep the saloon steady. The
great speed of the ship—she was expected
to attain very high speed, although in
practice the speed never exceeded 13 Ji
knots—was trusted to diminish the pitch
ing, and she was given a low freeboard,
40 feet long at each end. The effect of thio
freeboard, so it was believed, would be to
eut into the waves, ship pais of them on
the low deck, and so balance the vessel.
The Bessemer inaugurated her first trip
to Calais by smashing old Calais pier, the
hydraulic steering gear failing to act at a
critical moment, and, as a matter of fact,
the hydraulic appliances for IKadying her
saloon wore not tried, the real reason be
ing that they were not finished. Subse
quent experiments were equally unsatis
factory. The swinging saloon did not be
have at sea in the same way as the steam
rocked model which Bessemer had studied
on land. In comparatively calm water,
which still might have enough swell to be
unpleasant, it would not act at all.
Moreover, the really toe large
for Calais harbor. Her fate wqp sealed by
the bankruptcy of the company that
owned her, and in 18?6 she was sold by
order of the liquidators. The buyer re
moved the saloon and its machinery, dis
carded the hydraulic steering gear and
built up the low freeboard to the level of
the rest of the deck. In this commonplace
guise the <dd Bessemer had a career and
only differed from the less stuffy channel
boats in having four paddle wheels in
stead of two.—Philadelphia Record.
Sabbath Breakers.
At a meeting of the looal Women’s Tem
perance union at Ottawa the other day a
lady gave a shocking example of the in
difference to Sabbath observance which is
creeping over the modern world. She stat
ed that she had, to her shame and sorrow,
seen two men looking in at the window of
a well known tailor’s shop on the Sabbath
day, evidently engaged in selecting the
materials for their new spring suits. She
added that she had consulted a solicitor
as to whether there is no law which could
be Invoked for the purpose of putting a
stop to such profane conduct and that she
had been Informed in reply that, though
there is at present no law under which
tradesmen can be compelled to pull their
blinds down on Sundays, it was quite
within the power of the legislature to pass
such a law. She asked the meeting to
join in a petition to the legislature in fa
vor of suoh an enactment, and thenaatter
was referred to the Lord’s day committee.
I believe that I can cap the shocking ex
perience of this Canadian lafy. I have
sfien ladies in church on Sunday taking
stock of the bonnets of their lady neigh
bors, obviously with the view of deciding
on the purchases that they contemplated
making during the week. Suoh conduct
occurs in all countries. It seems highly
improbable that there is any law in Canada
for the purpose of stopping this desecra
tion not only of the Sabbath, but of the
house of prayer, and. the Canadian legis
lature would do well to take thia evil into
consideration at the sama time as the oth
er.—London Truth.
The Oklahoma Cras*.
The mania for land was curiously illus
trated by the rush of settlers and .specula
tors upon the opening of new lands in
. Oklahoma, says Henry J. Fletcher in The
Atlantic. An immense multitude left
homes in a dozen states and flocked thith
er by rail, in wagons, on horseback and
on foot, camped out for weeks and months
along the borders of the promised land,
suffered all kinds of privations and raced
madly across the line when tho gun was
fired, only to find that there were ten com
petitors for every quarter section, and the
land, when they got it, far inferior to that
which they left behind. The unsuccessful
opes eked out a miserable existence as
long as they could in the mushroom towns
and finally drifted forlornly back to the
surrounding states.
Many western towns deliberately intox
icated themselves in imitation of their
neighbors. Prices were forced up by
means of brass band auctions and artificial
excitement. Raw villages on the prairies
indulged in rosy dreams of greatness, and
gaslights twinkled where the coyotes
should hive been, left undfiffurbed. Erejy
city ana town in the regiefos chiefly af
fected by the great “boom” contained
families impoverished by the collapse. It
had its root in the true spirit til gambling
and has borne its legitimate fruit.

A DBEBS REHEARSAL.
GOOD STORY OF A YOUNG MISS WHO
YEARNED FOR SOCIETY.
Her Premature Eatraaoe late the Charm
ed Circle and Its Reunite—An Amiable
Feminine Cousin and a Perfectly Horrl
sed Mamma.
A good story is told concerning one
of last winter’s debutantes, and since
the heroine tells it on herself there is
no impropriety in making it public.
The winter before last Mips IL .wag
still in tho schoolroom, and though
she possessed social aspirations they
were not gratified by her mother. A
cousin from Philadelphia came to spend
the month of January with the family,
and, being an heiress Aid accustomed to
going about a gi-'-t di id, her wardrobe
w&a a thing of wqndrfuj fascination
to little Miss M. Singularly enough,
the figures of the two girls were of an
exact size, and the younger found con
stant delight in arraying herself in the
frippery belonging to her good natused
cousin. Many an hour was devoted to
flouncing about the third story with
long skirts and hair tucked up under
the latest bonnet importation, and there
was much secret practice with lorgnette
and fan.
Mrs. M. and the rich cousin were
plunged to the eyebrows in social gaye
ties, to the envy of the young daughter
of the house. One day Mrs. M. was
indisposed, and the rich cousin was con
fronted with the necessity of attending
byUierself a musicale, three teas and
making the cabinet calls. When she be
moaned the fact of going alone, her
youthful kinswoman was seized with an
inspiration. “Oh, well,” said she,
“lend me some of yonr clothes and let
me go with you. Mother will never
know anything about it ”
Being as amiable as rich, the visitor
consented, promising herself a treat in
beholding her young cousin’s entrance
into society. Only a short time was nec
essary for the changes of costume, and
when the heiress appeared at Mrs.
Blank’s musicale every one turned to
look twice at the stunning little figure.
It was a vision of bright eyes behind a
tantalizing veil, rebellious yellow curls
carelessly knotted and feathers, laces,
velvets and silks irresistibly Frenchy.
If she was the sensation of the musi
cale, she was the universal rage at the
teas- Every one wanted to meet her.
Young men fell over themselves and
others to obtain for her an ice or a mat
ron.
And all the time the little society
fledgling was quaking and fearing and
blu&yig and eaffwlhg agqnies behind
the veH. It was mnbafofcssing to ac
knowledge that she was not going to
this and that soefil function, had no*
seen the latest theatrical success, did
not' even know the visiting nobleman
all the girls were raving over. Deeper
and deeper she became involved, an<
the number of fibs necessary to invent
paralyzed her conscience.
And the little Miss M. breathed a
sigh of relief when, arrayed in her own
angle length gown, she was safely in
stalled in her own home. Presumably
her trials were ended. But not so; there
were consequences to be faced.
The next morning Mrs. M. appeared
at the breakfast taMre, and in the bunch
of mail there were several small envel
opes addressed to Miss M. Also there
were others with the inscription “Mr.
and Mrs. M. and Miss M.” Mrs. M.
passed these over with only an elevation
of the eyebrows, but her daughter
thought it wise to leave the room. Open
ing her private letters, Mrs. M. read a
note from a friend apologizing for a so
cial error and inviting Miss M. to assist
at her at home that afternoon. A second
note contained an apology for not hav
ing invited Miss M. to a debutante
luncheon on the previous day.
Mrs. M. was completely mystified,
but an early visitor soon opened her
eyes. This visitor- called hurriedly
to say how surprised she was that Mrs.
M. introducing a daughter, and
compliments were profuse upon the
beauty and success of that daughter.
“She was quite the sweetest thing yes
terday at the musicale. Every one fell
in love with her. I want her to fill an
unexpected vacancy in my young peo
ple’s dinner tonight ”
Mrs. M. gasped out: "There must be
some mistake. X have no daughter in
society.” ■»
“NWiy, your niece introduced her to
me, ” interrupted the astonished visitor.
But by this time Sirs. M. was ring
ing tjie bell furiously and both niece
and daughter were hurriedly summon
ed. Explanations followed, and ulti
mately forgiveness, but it was some
time before Mrs. M. managed to con
vince society that she was not launching
a beautiful daughter that season.
Last winter, when this same charm
ing girl came out formally and correct
ly, and in her own instead of borrowed
finery, there must have been several so
ciety men saying to themselves: “By
Jove, where have I seen somebody like
Miss M.? Must have been some one I
met last season. ” —Washington Star.
The Latter Day Jervaaleaa.
When I landed at Yafa, I first began
to open my eyes in regard to the Holy
Land. This is a seaport town, and it is
dirty and filthy and is overrun with
beggars who have their “mit” out on
every corner. In the middle winter,
when a light snow was falling, the
Arabs, wearing cheap cotton clothing,
would stand around and ahiver. Every
body shivered for that matter, for I nev
er saw a stove or fireplace in the town.
Excuse me from going to Jerusalem
again for pleasure. I was disgusted
with the place on account of its filthy
streets and foul, noisome odors.—“ Story
