Portsmouth. Va^ June ft.—Atlanta's
only representative ship in the Amer-
Iran navy Is now doing somewhat me*
dlocre duty at the Portsmouth navy
yard, retired, perhaps, from active
service for the remainder of Its days.
The Atlanta, which was once one of
the finest ships In the American navy,
is now nothing more than a huge
boarding house, quartering the enlist*
ed tnen attached to the reserve tor*
pedo flotilla at the naval torpedo sta
tion at this navy yard.
The naval cadets attached to thd
United Status naval academy, at An
napolis, cruised in the Atlanta Inst
summer, but since that time tho
cruiser has cast off its Immacuiato
white and standard huff of the navy,
and has taken on the universal navy
green of the torpedo boats. The big
warship looks rather awkward and
really out of plare, as it lies moored
at the naval torpedo station, identl*
. ;il In oniiii* With til** scotes of Iml,.
torpedo boats, submarines and de
stroyers moored alongside, and look
ing for all the world like pygmies be
side a giant.
Dut the Atlanta's days of useful
ness are fast waning. It possible,
ami even probable, that if tin* in eli
sion arose for tin* need of a l»lg fleet
of worships to encounter a hostllo
fleet, the Atlanta could steam to sea
with the other vessels of its class, and
put up a good fight, but as long an
everything Is serene along tin* coast,
the Atlantn seems doomed to remain
on Its present Inglorious duty—that
? a station ship.
There Is no comparison between the
Atlanta of old and tho present-day
cruiser. Vessels of this class are be
ing built larger and more formidable
each year. Ten years ago, the Atlanta
ranked with th** host afloat, now the
Colorado overbalances tho Atlanta's
tonnage of 8,000 by 10,680 tons. The
Colorado. Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Woat Virginia are speeded at 22 knots,
while the beBt the Atlanta could do
was 16.60 on its trial trip.
But the Cracker State is not going
to sink into oblivion from tho naval
register. The queenly battle ship
Georgia furnished over the trial course
off the coast of Massachusetts a few
(lays ago In record-breaking time, and
Georgia’s name and fame Is to be
taken up again with the retirement of
the Atlanta from the eyes of tho
world.

WORLD-FAMOUS STORY OF THE
SHADOWS OF PACKINGTOWN
CHAPTER VI—(CONTINUED.)
Ho they came away, and Ona went
down to the yard* and at noon-time
*nw Jurats and told him. Jurgl* took
It stolidly—he had made up hi* mind
to It by this time. It wns part of fate:
they would manage It somehow—he
made his usual nnttwor. "I will work
harder.” It would upact their plant for
a time; snd It would perhaps bs neces
sary for Ona lo get work after all. It
»oa not fair to let Jural, and her sup-
had acouted this iden, but now knit
brows snd nodded (b head slowly—
yea, perhaps tt would be best; they
would all have to moke some sacrifices
now.
8o Ona set out that day to hunt for
work, and at night MnrIJa came home
•‘tying that she had met a girl named
Jasnltytt who had a friend that worked
Jn one of the wrapping rooms In
Brown’s, and might get a place for Ona
there; only the forelady was the kind
thnt takes presents—It was no use for
any one to ask her for n place unless
at the same time they slipped a ten-
dotlnr bill Into her hand. Jurgfa waa
not in the least surprised nt this now
—he merely asked what tho wages of
the place would be. So negotiations
»»re opened, and after an Interview
fins came home and reported that the
f.relsdy seemed to like her, and had
•aid that, while she wns not sure, she
'bought she might be able to put her
at work sewing rovers nt! hams, a Job
fl i which she could earn as much as
eight or ten dollars a week. That was
» bid, ao Marlin t.•ported, after con-
anting her friend; and then there was
an anxious conference at home. Th*
work was done In one of the cellars,
and Jurgls did not want Ona to work
In such n place; but then It was easy
work, and one could not have every*
thing. So In the end Ona, with a ten-
dnjlar bill burning a hole In tier palm,
h*d another Interview with the fore-
lady.
Meantime Teta EUbleta had taken
Stanlalovas to the priest and gotten a
certificate to tho efTect that he waa two
years older than he was. and with It
the little hoy now sallied forth to make
Ills fortune In the world. It chanced
that Durham had Juat put In a won
derful new lard machine, nnd when
the special policeman In front of the
time atatlon saw Btanlalovaa and his
document he smiled to himself and told
him to go—"Cslal Calal” pointing. And
so 8tanlslovaa went down a long stone
corridor and up a night of stnlrs, which
took him Into ft room lighted by elec
tricity, with the new machines for
filling lard cans at work In IL Tho
lard was finished on the floor above,
and It came In little Jets, llkt beauti
ful, wriggling, snow-white snakes of
unpleasant odor. There were several
kinds and sites of jets, and after n
certain precise quantity had come out.
each stopped automatically, and the
wonderful machine made a turn and
took tho can under another Jet, and so
on, until It was filled neatly to tho
brim, and pressed tightly and smoothed
oft. To attend to all this and fill sev
eral hundred cans of lard per hour
there were necessary two human crea
tures. one of whom knew how to place
an empty lard can on a certain spot
every few seconds, and the othsr of
whom knew how to take a full lard
can ofT a certain spot every few sec
onds snd set It upon a tray.
And so, after little Stanlalovas had
stood getting timidly about him for a
few minutes, a man approached him,
and asked what he wanted, to which
Stanlalovas said, “Job.” Then the man
said, "How Oldr and Btanlalovaa an

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS
The story of "The Jungle," Upton 1 Sinclair's novel, which has caused the government Investigation Into
the'methods employed by the Beef Trust, has Its origin In an actual Paclnkgtown romance.
Tho first chapter shows a broad-shouldered butcher being wedded to a young girl who sees in him a
hero. ' The wedding, in all its grotesqueness, is described.
Practically penniless, Jurgls tells his bride she shall not return ttf work In tho pocking house—ho will
work early and late. He could not work harder, but the thought of seeing her contrlbuto toward their eup-
port was abhorrent to him.
On arriving in Chicago, J. Bzedvllas, a Lithuanian, who ran a delicatessen store in Packlngtown. guided
Jurgls, One, MurIJa and the remainder of tho party through the srock yards, after lie had given thorn lodg
ing. In this section of tho story the author reveals some of the things that have startled tho country.
The little coterie decided to purchone a bouse. They were to pay $12 a month for It They And they
have been swindled—thot the company charges such Interest that they .will be unable to pay, Then*the com
pany, In line with Its predatory policy, flgureff on selling the house again, as It had sold tho structure many
times before. The seducthre, deadly “easy payment" plan had lured the unfortunate Lithuanians.
Jurgls refused to join a labor union that would have promoted the Interests of all. He did not understand
that the life was being worked out of him. He was strong. And he thought he would always be so. Antanus
Rudkus, broken In health, cannot And work. But ono of the under bosses obtains a Job for him on condition
that Antanus pay him one-third of his salary. The first week’s two-thirds went to buy a pair of boots.
Yesterday's Installment ended with the story of how Ona and other members of the little party of set
tlers went to the real estao agent nnd found that they would havo to pay seven per cent on thelr^home. The
author ends the Installment with the family weeping and looking gloomily to the future.

the total earnings of the million an*l

engaged in earning their livings la the
United States.
And meantime, because they were
young, and hope is not to bo stifled
before its time, Jurgls and Ona were

them to have it, when their hearts were
made tender! Such a pitiful begin
ning it was for their married life; they
loved each other ao, nnd they could
not have the brlefeat respite! It was
a time when everything cried out to
them that they ought to be happy;
when wonder burned In their hearts
and leaped Into flame at the slightest
breath. They were shaken to the
depths of them, with the awo of love
realized, nnd was It so very weak of
them that they cried out for a little
peace? They luuS opened their hearts,
like flowers to the springtime, and the
merciless winter had fallen upon them.
They wondered If ever any love that

been so crushed and trampled!
Over them, relentless and savage,
there cracked the lash of want; the

All that day lie stood at his lard

closing In spite of him; and he had
all but lost his place even so, for the
foreman booted him twice to waken
him.
It was fully a week before they were
all normal again, and meantime, with
whining children and cross adults, the
house was not a pleasant place to live
Jurgls lost hi* temper very little,
however, all things considered. It was
because of Ona; the least glance of
her was always enough to make him
control himself. Bhe waa ao sensitive

The tears come ao easily Into Ona's
eyes, and sho would look at him so
appealingly—It kept Jurgls quite busy
making resolutions, In addition to ail
the other things ho hod on his mind.

Ho had feared the way or things about
him now. Jt was a war of each
against all, and the devil take the hind
most. You did not give feasts to other
people, you waited for them to give
feasts to you. You went about with
your soul Tull of suspicion and hatred;
you understood that you were environ
ed by hostile powers that were trying
to get your money, and who used all
the virtues to bait their traps with.
The storekeepers plastered up their
windows with all sorts of lies to entice
you; the very fences by the wayside,
the lampposts snd telegrsph poIch were
pasted over with lie** The great cor
poration which employed you lied'to
you, and lied to the whole country—
from top to bottom It was nothing but
one gigantic lie.
8o Jurgls said that he understood It; i
and yet it w*as really pitiful for the;
struggle was so unfair—some had so
much the advantage! Here he was,
for instance, vow ing upon his kneen •
that he would save Ona from harm,
and only a week later she waa suffer
ing atrociously, and from the blow of|
enemy that he could not possibly
her on tho street car. Now it chanced
that thla car line was owned by gen
tlemen who were trying to mako
money. And the city having paast-d an
ordlnittM *« requiring them t<» kI\«* trans
fers could bo hud only when the faro
was paid, and lator, growing still ug
lier, they had made another—(hat tho
passenger must oak for the transfer,
the conductor was not allowed to of

Now Ona had boon told that she was
to get a transfer, but It wiih not h**r
way to speak up, and so wh* merely
waited, following the conductor about
with her eyes, wondering when
would think of her. When at last the
time came for her to get out, ehe asked
for the transfer and was refused. Not
knowing what to make of this, she be
gan to argue with tho conductor. In a
languago of which he did not under

the way to the yards in tho pouring
rain. And so nil day long sho sat shiv
ering and mine homo at night with
her teeth chattering nnd pains In her
head and back. For two weeks after
wards she suffered cruelly—and yet
every day ehe had to drag herself to
her work. Tho forewoman was espe
cially severe with Ono, because she be
lieved that she was obstinate on ac
count of having been refused a holiday
tho day after her werldfng. ona had on
1*1* it thill h-r "for-lndv" *11*1 not like
to have her girls marry—perhaps be
cause she was old and ugly and un
married herself.
There were many such dangers In
which the odds were all against them.
Their children were not as well as they
had been at home, but how could they
know that there was no sewer to their
house and that -the drainage of fifteen
years was In a cesspool under It? How*
could they know that tho i»alo-blue
milk that they bought around the cor
ner was watered and doctored with
formaldehyde besides? When the
children were not well at homo Teta
glzbleta would gather herbs nnd cure
them; now she was obliged to go to the
drug store and buy extracts—and how
waa she to know that they wore all
adulterated? How could they find out
that their tea and coffee, their sugar
and /lour, had been doctored? that
their canned peas had been colored i
with copper salts, and their fruit Jams
with nnlllne dyes? And even If they
hn«l known It, what good would It have
done them, since there wns no place
within miles of them whore any other
sort was to bo had?
Tho bitter Winter was coming, and
they had to save money to get more
clothing and bedding; but It would not
matter In the least how much they
saved, they could not g**t anything to
