HINTON, Traffic Manager, I Savannah, Ga. BfadgUa //fl I • / /?-■ tv tty “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 Matter at Race Pride.

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.
