SWIFT AMERICAN SHIPS Their Importance in the Transpor- tation of Perishable Products. UNFOUNDED OPPOSITION TO SUBSIDIES. Value of Ocean Flyers to the Gov- ernment in Time of Peace or W —Bulld Up the Nation’s Oce Trade and Augment Its Naval Power. P fSpecial Correspondence.] Washington, D. C., Jan. 16. Considerable opposition to the payment of subsidies to swift American steamships has developed in the press of the country. The statement has been widely circulated that these ships merely carry passengers abroad to spend American money, and to bring back wines and silks for Juxurious cit: izens, and that such ships, so employed, are of no help to American commerce. What is wanted, these opponents declare, is car- go carriers, the low-powered steamships that take cargoes wherever they offer, and earry them wherever they are consigned, regardless of established lines. And these are the ships, they go on and assert, that have given Great Britain her preeminence as a maritime power. All this sounds plausible, and somewhat logical, and, if not analyzed by those hav- ing knowledge of the facts, helps to create an unfavorable and hurtful sentiment to- ward the shipping bill now pending in congress which properly considers swift steamships, as well as slow ores. Asa mat- ter of fact, the swift steamships carry those products from the United States that are the most valuable, and, in many cases, the most perishable. Were it not for the fast steamship California’ fruits — a growing business—could not be exported to Europe; with them, the exportation of Pacific coast fruits steadily grows and prospers. All kinds of dressed meats, ham, bacon, lard and an infinite variety of agricultural or farm products, that have gone through va- rious stages of manufacture are sent abroad in swift ships. Swift ships carry the mails; and it is es- sential that the maiis be carried with the utmost rapidity. Invariably swift ships are parts of regularly established lines, and they make regular and frequent voyages to and from their terminal points. The swift- er, the greater, the more powerful the ships, the more profitable their use is to their re- spective terminal countries, but the truth is the less remunerative they all are to their owners. They carry the most expensive cargoes that go both ways, the manufac- tures upon which labor and skill -have been expended, and which return the largest sums to their producers. But these are the ships, the large, pow- erful, swift ocean flyers, that are most use- ful to the nation in time of war. They are at once available as carriers of important dispatehes, in cases where celerity is of the utmost importance; they are useful as aux- iliary cruisers, they can be quickly trans- formed into cruisers and then prey upon and destroy the enemy’s commerce; they ean act as scouts for fleets, and keep them informed regarding the movements of the enemy, keeping in touch with the enem: and eluding capture through their swift: ness. This was well illustrated by the four great ships of the only American line in the trans-Atlantic trade, during our war with Spain. They were steaming at full speed between 500 and 600 miles a day, far out upon the Atlantic, keeping watch for Spain’s cruisers, ready to report them to the flying squadron at Hampton Roads. It was this scouting work, so effectively done, that compelled Spain to send Cervera far to the south, when but for them Cervera might have threatened if not seriously and irreparab:y injured our great Atlantic and Gulf seaports. The swift steamships are the nearest at- tainment to the ideal, the consummation of the highest hopes of the artists engaged in their construction, at once an effective dem- onstration of man’s best handiwork, and at the same time an invaluable aid to the na- tion when most in neéd of aid. Such ships are the final outgrowth of regularly estab- i lished lines where a trade has been built up at great expenge, after many years of faithful effort, and through a service that is | thorough, complete and attractive. They arethe best of their kind and a nation whose people fail to appreciate them does not grasp the full significance nor the full value of sea power. The so-called tramp steamships, the ves- sels that carry cargoes wherever destined, ere merely the carriers of the surplus car- goes that accumulate after harvesting, or at sxeeptional times, when the reguiar lines «te overcrowded. But it is the regular lines shat build up a nation’s trade—never the ramps—and they often do it for yearsat a oss, until they are thoroughly established and have accumulated a paying business. «And Britain’s sea power lies in her great steamship lines, not in her “tramps.” If the agents of foreign steamships are éeliberately working to defeat the pending shipping bill—as is being said all over the vountry—congress should be warned. The American people are not in the mood to see legislation helpful to a great American in- custry defeated in the interest of foreign- JIMMIE'S ASSIGNMENT BY CHARLES W. LAMB. @opyright, 1900, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Jimmie Walker had spent his youthful life in an atmosphere whose ozone had been largely feminine; days to the womanly attractions, and even after he had accepted a much sought after position on the Press and had commenced to realize that his education instead of being finished was only begun, had not ceased his attractions to the ladies, but rather, if possible, increased them, until he met Miss Knight, tall, blonde Miss~ Knight, who, he remarked, would better have been called Day. It was while dining with an old class- mate one evening that he met her, and at, first only remembered the tall girl with the blue eyes and the sweet smile, in a vague, pleasing manner; but one day when she appeared in his dingy city room with the friend’s wife and asked him to give /her amateur theatricals a notice, he became aware that there was something attractive in the slender face beneath those bright, wavey locks. He went to those theatricals, refusing a complimentary ticket, and watched her play the heroine with far more school girl grace and bashfulness than histrionie tal: ent, and diseovered that he was envying the young man who took her in his arms and called her his own. So things drifted along. The spring was born of the winter’s snows and the blos- soms of summer came out of the buds and died in the autumn’s blast, and the glow of the yuletide candles gave warmth and beauty to the cold, white reflections from out of doors; and he stood beneath the mistletoe, and taking her in his arms, pressed a kiss on her lips and called her his own, and the only applause was in their hearts, for this was not play acting. Jimmie was very happy in his engage- ment to Miss Knight, and looked forward to the coming fall with great pleasure, for then was to come his wedding. For her sake he gave up his visits to the rather Bohemian Press club, and confined his time to her or his den where his books were his company, and even gave up his pipe, be- cause he felt that tobacco fumes were not consistent with her purity, and that the money he smoked had better be saved. So his promotion came with the autumn and he was transferred to read exchanges and write editorials. But it happened one fore- noon in September, as he sat at his paper- belittered desk, clipping the extracts from the brilliant brains of the newspaper world, that the “old man” sent for him and “shipped” him on an emergency asign- ment to interview an actress who had just secured a divorce after a highly sensational trial, The interview was not long, and was pleasant, for with all his aversion to the woman she could be very fascinating. He found her with her street wraps on ready to go out, and after the interview she walked downstairs with him, telling of a wine supper she was to attend that night, and as he left her at-the stfeet door and turned away, she called after him in a reckless boldness: “Come join us to-night— you'll have a good time.” And Jimmie strode down the street without noticing the ladies standing in the doorway of the ladies’ entrance just behind him, That evening Jimmie spent in his den with Macauley, and after a chapter of Stockton as a rest for his brain, retired ‘j with a light heart and a elear conscience, for it was one day nearer to November. The next morning as he sat among his: exchanges, thinking of the call that he would make that evening, a district mes- senger boy came into the office, whistling the song the actress was making famous, and gave him a dainty, perfumed note, which he took smilingly and gazed for some seconds at the superscription, for he knew it was from her and giving the boy time to get out of the way—he wished to de alone when he read her notes—slowly opened and read it. The bright smile died away as he read, and as he finished and sat holding the open note in his hand, his eyes gazed away into vacancy, a troubled look on his face. Gregg, of the city staff, strolled into the room and greeted him with: “What's up, old man; you look blue. Bad news?” “Just thinking, that’s all,” but the under- tone of the would-be jolly voice was such that Cregg quietly withdrew. Bad news! Thinking! That explained it, for the little perfumed note, written on the delicate lavender-tinted paper said simply: “Having witnessed your conduct with that woman at the Normandy yesterday, I will not be at home this evening nor here- after.” He could not understand it. There was surely some mistake, and all that day he worked like one in a trance, scarcely know- ing how the moments passed, and as soon as the paper was on the press, he closed his room and went directly to her home. There he was met by the maid the same as usual, but she brought back his eard with the message on the back: ‘Miss Knight is not at home to Mr. Walker.” And Jimmie went back to his den and, throwing himself on his couch, buried his face in his arms and shut the world from him. So the months drifted by, and the com- ment of his fellows was: “What’s the mat- ter with Jimmie?” But they soon became used to his changed manner and ceased to talk about it. The glorious Indian summer with its mellow skies and its golden air; the joyous yuletide with its snow and ever- green; the first month of the new year with its ice and blizzards were passed and Febru- ary was bringing its searching winds when one day again the “old man” came to him in @ hurry and asked him to take an as- signment and report the annual meeting of the Children’s hospital, and it was a work in whie she was interested. During all these weary months he had not seen her, nor had he allowed himself to inquire for her, still he knew that now he should meet her, for this was her special work. At the entrance he met the matron, and was ushered) into the office while the secre- tary was called, and he stood pale and trembling for a moment as in the person of the secretary he recognized Miss Knight, and he saw that she, too, was pale. For a moment only it was thus, and then his deep, calm voice broke the quiet with: “I would like to get a report of the meet- ing for the press,” and her reply was equal- ly calm. “Certainly. Be seated, please,” and he sat at the little desk while she sat at the end of it and gave him the report, and no one could guess what was beneath those calm exteriors or note the tremors that would not be heard in voices. And while reading her notes in silence for a moment she unconsciously laid her hand on the desk near him, and with the old soul in is eyes, he raised it to his lips and kissed it. ‘And Jimmie went back to the office that day with a bright smile on his face, and @ leave in May for a wedding trip. rae after reporting to the “old man,” put in for"| j oft: ie he had devoted | by far the greater portion of his college ' ‘EMERGENCY RATION, That Selected by the Army to Be i Put to Further Test. Volanteers from Cavalry in Okla- homa Will Try Campaigning on Concentrated Food — Par- pose of the Experiment. Two officers of the United States army, Capt. Fountain, of the Eighth _ cavalry, and Capt. Foster, of the Fifth cavalry, have gone to New York to make final arangements for a supply of “emergency rations.” About a year ago a board of oificers, consisting of Col. Dempsey and Capts. Fountain and Foster, was convened for the pur- pose of inquiring into and deciding up- | on a ration for enlisted men which can be used in an emergency. Manufac- , turers of food products in all parts of | the country were invited to submit samples of concentrated foods which could be used for such purposes. All samples submitted were subject. ed to rigid tests. The desideratum aimed at was, in brief, a minimum of space combined with a maximum of sustaining qualities. After months of experiment it was finally decided that @ preparation of parched wheat com- bined with a certain proportion of evaporated animal food would sustain life best with the least possible loss of weight and energy. To this combina- tion was added a cake of sweetened chocolate, and the whole ration, suffi- cient for one day, was inclosed in a her metically sealed receptacle. The officers of the board tested the value of the ration by living upon it themselves for several consecutive days. Now they have béen ordered to continue the tests. With this end in view they proceed at once to Oklahoma, where there are two troops of cavalry. It is the purpose of Capts. Fountain and Foster—Col. Dempsey has been de- tached from the board—to invite vol- unteers from these cavalry troops to accompany them for a week, ten days, ol two weeks, for the purpose of test- ing the value of this new ration. If it is found that the men can live upon it without great loss of weight or energy, it will be adopted by the de- psrtment. It is not the purpose, how- ever, to substitute this ration for the regular food supply of the American soldier, But men in service will be sup- plied with two, three, five, or more of these rations when on special service. They will be allowed to use them only when it is found impossible to secure other food. Ig other words, it is an “emergency” ration, and severe punish- ment will be meted out to the soldier who uses it except in cases of extreme emergency. _ Find Home of San Jose Seale. According to a letter to Prof. L. 0. Howard, of the department of agri- culture, from C. L. Marlatt, the long sought original habitat of the San Jose seale insect has been discovered just south of the great wallin China. From close study of the insect there it was also discovered that a species of lady- bird beetle feeds upon the scale, and living specimens of this beetle are now on their way to the agricultural de- partment for experimenting on the seale in California and other parts of the country where it has done such damage to fruit trees.

Silence continued for about a minute, when the young man continucd in firm tones, a note of pathos running through m: “Somehow or other, when I hearn you was goin’ off, I felt like you’d never come back to me no more—not as little Ber. | ‘The nateral nater of you—clear, sweet, an’ | bright as our mountin cricks—would-return | bemuddled to simple eyes like mine.

So, r, ef you say kin, an’ never bother you no more.” When he had concinded Ella looked up at him with a smile—a frank, bantering, kiss- able smile. Affectation was gone from her ynanner and speech. “Fred,” she said, with the genuine frank- ! ness of mountain natures, “I still think more of you than I ever did pf any other man. I deplore your deficichcies in the way of education; but you are worth a thousand ‘doods,’ as you call the town {| boys. Still, Fred, I’m sorry to say, you are not my ideal, and unless I so consid- ered you, I don’t think I could live happily with you. I don’t think I shall ever marry. I’m too romantic in my nature—too exaet- ing in the demand for qualities in my hus- band that don’t exist im these prosaic times. My reading has spoiled me, I know, I live im times long gone. My lover is your- sand years. The modern man, of all de grees, is too commonplace for my taste. Hundreds of times I have dreamed of you as my lover, but in every instance you were either a Roman youth, or a knight of the middle ages, with armor on, going forth to do deeds for your lady love which the modern man could not even dream of do- ing. Of course, such a man, outside of books, I shall never find, and unless my ne- ture changes as the years go by, I shall never marry. Now, Fred; I’ve told you truly the state of my mind, end you will be pleased girl as I am fora wife. Such love as I have, self it isn’t the kind to keep house on. Oh, if we could only go back to the grand old Roman days, or to the days when knight hood was in flower!” Fred arose at the conclusion of this nove’ speech, and, dipping his yellow curls, said: “Good-by, Eller. ” love you too well, an’ I think I’ve got a H CH | the word, I’ll take my medicine the best I | self, but taken beck a thousand or two thou- i | some day that you missed getting such a | however, belongs to you, but you know your- | Bankrupt’s Petition for Discharge. istrict Court of the United States for ine atice of ‘Miinesota--Fisth Division.
