Capt. Michael P. Usina died yester
day morning at 9 o'clock at the Post
Graduate Hospital in New York
where he went in April to undergo an
operation. He had been a sufferer for
a long time from disease of the kid
neys. His condition had been critical
for several days and the news of his
death was not unexpected. The mem
bers of his family were with him when
he died. His remains will reach Sa
vannah to-morrow morning and the
funeral will take place in the afternoon
from the Cathedral of St. John the
Baptist. The Confederate veterans, a

veteran member, and the Pilots Asso

Capt. Usina was one of the

best known of Savannah’s Confederate
veterans. As secretary of the Savan
nah Pilots’Association. He was also well
known in marine and shipping 1 circles.
H* was a native of St. Augustine, but
moved to Savannah In 1855. He was
a member of the Oglethorpe Light In
fantry and went to Virginia with that
company ‘at the beginning of the war.
He was wounded at the first battle
of Manassas. After serving a year in
Virginia he received a commission
from Secretary Mallory of the Confed
erate navy as a lieutenant, and was
ordered to report to Commodore Tatt
nhll at Savannah. He had served
here only a short time when Commo
dore Tattnall was ordered to Virginia,
and Capt. Usina was authorized to
enter the blockade service.
Famed at Blockade Runner.
It was as a blockade run
ner that Captain Usina made
his name known along the en
tire coast, and his exploits are often
recalled to-day by his old comrades.
The papers on this subject, read by
Capt. Usina before the Confederate
Veterans’ Association and the Sons of
Veterans of Savamfah, give a better
idea probably of the conditions under
which blockade running was conducted
and the true character of the men
engaged therein than anything of a
similar character that has ever been
published. These articles read like
chapters of romance, and yet those
"ho knew Capt. Usina know that
they are simply plain statements of
fact.
During his three years’ experience
as a blockade runner, he made
twenty-eight trips, running chiefly in
and between the Bermudas and Char
leston and Wilmington. The blockade
sendee was conducted for the Con
federate government by the Crenshaw
brothers, whose headquarters were in
Richmond, the government owning a
half interest in the ships.
_ 1 apt. Usina commanded at various
tines half a dozen or more of the
ships engaged In blockade running,
among this number being the Mary Ce
leste, the Atalanta, afterwards the
cruiser Tallahassee; the Armstrong,
thr. Virginia, the Tallahassee. He was
ln command of the Whisper when the
"'ar ended, and took her to Europe,
turning her over to her owners.
His experience as a blockade run
was a most remarkable one.

It 1 a Pt. Usina once, when asked
°ut blockade running, "were for the
Confederate government, being either
munitions of war or supplies for the
troops. I attribute my success to the
fact that I felt that I was not doing
this work for personal gain, but be
cause it Was the best service I was
capable of tendering to the govern
ment. I never let the enemy turn me
back. Every relative I had was in the
Confederate service and I knew
that my friends were risking
their lives in Virginia and I
saw no reason why I should avoid risk
ing mine.”
Capt. Usina did not Intend these
words to be quoted when he uttered
then!, but they indicated the true char
acter of the man and spoke for the
character of the blockade runners of
whom he was a representative.
Turned Back to Save His Ship.
There was one time when Capt.
Usina turned back, but it was to save
his ship and cargo, and it was well for
him that he did. It was along toward
the close of the war when he left the
Bermudas with a fleet of blockade
runners, all bound for Wilmington.
Fort Fisher had fallen, but the block
ade runners were not aware of this fact.
The Federate, in capturing the fort,
had learned the secret plans and sig
nals used in communicating with the
vessels running the blockade. Capt.
Usina worked his in slowly after
nightfall, passing inside the lines of
the blockade fleet. Suddenly the whole
harbor was illuminated and he was re
vealed to the blockading warships
around him. Instead of opening Ore
on him they took no notice. This was
too kind treatment at their hands, and
the young blockade runner’s suspicions
were at once aroused. He exchanged
signals with the fort in the usual man
ner and was told that all was well,
and that Col. Lamb, the commandant,
would cqme aboard to take dinner
with him the next day.
Asa matter of fact Col. Lamp was
then a prisoner and desperately wound
ed. The signals did not deceive the
captain. The attitude of the federal
fleet was too benevolent for him and he
quietly slipped out of port and put
back to sea, much to the disgust of
some of his passengers, who could not
understand why he failed to enter the
harbor. The first Information given
them by the pilot at Nassau was that
Fort Fisher had fallen.

THE DRYDEN TROPHY
FOR MILITARY MARKSMEN.
Description of the Prime, In Which
Interest is Felt.
Washington, July 4.—Riflemen, na
tional and state, are taking an extra
ordinary interest in this year’s rifle
matches, and it iB confidently predicted
by those in authority that the present
will be a “record” year in all the prin
cipal contests.
This impetus to proficiency in mark
manship is due directly and indirectly
to United States Senator John F. Dry
den of New Jersey, who, by his official
and personal acts, has furnished the
country two of the most valuable tro
phies ever contested for on the rifle
range. It was through 'Mr. Dryden’s
personal and persistent efforts that the
military committees of Congress last
year agreed to insert a clause in the
army appropriation bill, authorizing for
the first time “a national trophy, med
als and other prizes to be provided for
and contested for annually • * • by the
Army and the National Guard or or
ganized militia of the several states
and territories, and of the District of
Columbia.”
This national trophy, coupled with an
especially valuable and handsome one
which Mr. Dryden, through whose in
strumentality the other was secured,
has Just presented. has naturally
aroused a spirit of the keenest Interest
among those ambitious for honors with
the small arm. Although a layman in
affairs military, Mr. Dryden takes con
siderable interest in rifle practice and
is a fair shqf himself But his
lies deeper. Keenly alive to all that"
affects the public welfare, he has de
ducted. as one of the principal lessons
of all recent wars, and especially the
contest of the English with the Boers,
that accuracy in rifle fire is far more
necessary to a successful issue than
proficiency in drill. Therefore, it Is his
desire to encourage in every way pos
sible "the man behind the gun,” so that
our army and national guard may at
tain the highest possible efficiency in
rifle shooting. To that end he has sup
plemented the government trophy with
one of his own, which is not only the
most valuable intrinsically of any of
the several hitherto presented, but has
prescribed conditions which will give
an additional incentive for keen compe
tition.
In addition to the trophy, Senator
Dryden has arranged to give each year
$250 as first and second money, to be
divided between the members of the
second and third teams in the annual
contest for the possession of the prize.
Before determining upon the condi
tions of the contest Senator Dryden
conferred with Gen. Bird W. Spencer,
inspector general of rifle practice of
the state of New Jersey, and with Col.
A. R. Kuser, his son-in-law, who is
an expert rifle shot and who has also
this year presented an attractive
trophy to be contested for under con
ditions to meet the advanced progress
in rifle shooting.
The Dryden Trophy, the design of
whiy’h has just been completed by
William Hayes of Newark, who is
also making the one for the govern
ment, is to be shot for on the range
at Sea Girt, N. J.. under the auspices
of the New Jersey State Rifle Asso
ciation.
It is to bo of bronze. 5 feet 7 inches
high, mounted on an ebony base 18
Inches high, making a total hight of
about 7 feet. The cost will be about
$3,000.
The general design represents a ban
ner bearing on the front a wreath in
relief, and twenty-five convex discs
for the names of the winners of each
year.
The panel at the top bears the words
"Dryden Trophy;’’ the letters them
selves will be of 14 karat gold in re
lief.
The figures of the infantryman (on
the left) and marine (on the right)
will be in full relief.
The coat of arms of the state at
the top will also he in full relief.
The panel at the bottom bearing
the inscription will be of bronze.
The trophy will be open to teams
from the army of the United States,
one team from the troops stationed
within each of the military depart
ments.
United States navy, one team.
Untted States Marine Corps, one
team.
National Guard or Uniformed militia
of the several states and territories,
including the District of Columbia, one
team from each state or territory.
Distanres, 20(1. 500 and 1,000 yards.
Rounds, ten each man at each dis
tance. Position, standing at 200 yards,
prone—with face towards target—at 500
and 1,000 yards.
In all of the particulars the rules
promulgated by the War Department
applying to national competitions shall
govern.
Prize: The Dryden Trophy to be
held during the year by the head of
the corps or organization or state
whose team may win It. to be return
ed to the New Jersey State Rifle As
sociation at the expiration thereof. To
the team making the second highest
score $l5O. To the team making the

the May-flower descendant*. In fact,
compared with some of these modest
guinea pigs the best accredited May
flower descendant is little better than
a parvenu. And these pigs, mice, and
rabbits, each in its own way, are prov
ing the truth of a scientific principle,
discovered some forty years ago by one
Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, tn
the garden of his cloister—& principle
which is known to science as Mendel's
law of heredity. Mendel, and other
later Investigators, proved his law for
plants, and the littie animals in the
Harvard cages are engaged in proving
it for the higher organisms.
Mendel's law was originally discov
ered by a series of pretty experiments
ln the cultivation of garden flowers ln
which he crossed different varieties of
ordinary garden peas and carefully
watched the result. The result proved
that if a pea with yellow cotyledons,
as botanists call the seed leaves of the
young plant, were crossed with one
having green cotyledons, all the peas
resulting from the proceas would have
yellow cotyledon*. If these peas were
crossed with others having similar
yellow' cotyledons the result still fol
lowed that yellow was the characteris
tic color of the seed leaves. But If the
peas descended from the original cross
ing were self-pollinated or crossed
with each other the result would be one
green-needed pea for every three yellow
ones. In other words, the peas inherit
ed a. characteristic from the first cross
ing that did not appear until the sec
ond generation, and then only in
crosses between two plants ln both of
which the Inherited characteristic
might be considered latent. By the
discovery and study of this curious
scries of Inheritance among the garden
plants of his cloister the Austrian
monk evolved a law that now, accord
ing to modern scientists, “bids fair to
prove as fundamental to a right un
derstanding of heredity as the law of
definite proportions in chemistry.”
To sav that science watches, day by
day, the development of heredity pecu
liarities In many happy families of
guinea pigs, mice, or rabbits imme
diately suggests a question: How can
one detect the Inherited characteristics
of these little animals? One guinea pig
one might say, is very like another
guinea pig, and one rabbit very like
another rabbit. But a visit to the do
mestic menagerie at the Harvard zoo
logical laboratory shows immediately
that there are differences in guinea
pigs; some of them are albinos, for ex
ample, snow white with pink eyes,
while others are only partly albino —
“mosaics,” the zoologist calls them—
and yet others are angoras, with long
hair like an angora kitten, or "ros
etted” —a word that describes a guinea
pig whose hair grows in such fashion
that the timid little creature presents J
the appearance of being chronically ex
posed to blowy weather. There are
more differences Indeed among the gui
nea pigs than among either the mice or
rabbits, but in classes there are differ
ences enough to establish the question
of inheritance and show how this, that,
or the other characteristic has or ha*
not been transmitted. One of the molt
curious results of these investigations
has been the evolution of a race of
guinea pigs with four toes where or
dinarily a guinea pig has but three —a
curious peculiarity whose appearance ln
Father Pig and subsequent transmis
sion through a series of generations )■
an occurrence that, so far, can be ex
plained only by the theory that Mother
Pig, far back In her unknown ances
try, had had a similarly four-toed pro
genitor.
Every creature in this unique scien
tific menagerie has an established ped
igree and the record In which the scien
tist sets down the birth and life his
tory of the animals under his charge
has, during the last three years includ
ed something over 1,500 entries. This
record includes a picture of the subject
itself, a rough outline drawing on
which are recorded—somewhat as is
done on a typical drawing of the human
figure when anew recruit enters the
United States army or navy—the char
acteristic markings and color of that
particular individual. Each animal,
moreover, is a recognized personality
ln the eyes of the scientist, who can
tell you its genealogy as promptly as a
college of heraldry can trace a human
family tree and doubtless much more
accurately.
Naturally the keeper of this curious
menagerie becomes very familiar with
the inhabitants, of his wire cages, all
of them more or less tame, but each
retaining withal a more or less per
sonal attitude of mind toward being
picked up by an alien hand and hav
ing Its fur measured with a bit ot
tape or its eye examined for traces of
inherited color. None of the guinea
pigs appear to enjoy this familiarity,
although it is equally evident that
they are not in the least terrified by it.
The rabbits, on the other hand, like
being petted, and the little white or
gray mice, once you have succeeded in
catching them by the tall—and that,
by the way, is the correct scientific
manner of catching a mouse—make no
further resistance, but submit with
grave philosophy to the interrogations
of science.
One of the most interesting crea
tures ln the collection is the waltzing
mouse, which comes from Japan and
whose great recreation Is to spin round
and round and round, like a dancing
dervish, in one direction until he gets
tired,and then to spin round and round
and round In the other. The waltz
ing mouse, moreover, appears intoxi
cated when he walks, and the Idea
that a straight line Is the shortest
distance between two points has evi
dently never occurred to his philoso
phy. In mating, the waltzing mouse
proves for animals exactly what Men
del's experiments with the peas prov
ed for plants. His descendants, pro
vided he is mated with a normal
mouse with no taste whatever for
waltzing, are all normal, and so also
are their descendants so long as there
is no mating with another mouse who
has the latent inherited taste for
waltzing. But w'hen both parents have
such an inheritance, one out of every
four of their descendants will take
its recreation by spinning round and
round and round in the ancestral fash
ion.
The practical utility of such lines of
experiment lies, obviously, ln improv
ing the breed of various domestic ani
mals, but the littie Harvard menag
erie is also working out problem* of
great consequence in heredity in gen
eral—a question of the greatest im
portance when one realizes how vital
In our modern civilization are our in
dividual inheritances either of disease
or of character.
