NAVAL RELIC SOLD FOR JUNK Fimt of the: Submarine War Bhips Oen- vorted Inste Old Iren. THE OF CIVIL WAR AN EPISODE Disastrous Finish of the Confedernte David 1te Kind--Five Crews Drowned in the Craft Different Tim Second of A relic of great histurical value was re- cently allowed il to under the Junk dealer's hammer and was carted away uch scrapiron, from the old to pleces nish fort a few miles back of New Or. Jeans, where it had stood for years a re- minder. of one of the foriornest hopes upon which man ever ventured. It was the origi- wel “David,” a counterpart of the one that sunk the Housatonic off Charleston harbor Februmry 17, 1%64. It was being sccretly constructed out at the old fort when New Orlenas fell, and upon the occupation of the city by the federal forces, to save the design, it was rolled Into a canal nearby There it remained for years after the war, for its builders and all knew of it went down with its successor. Years After, | when the canal was being dredged, the hulk was found, raised and set upon the fort | who Although this queer craft never itsplf ved any part in the war, it was the first of a type which, in the Holland submarines, now gathered by the government (nto a little fleet, bids fair to revolutionize mod- ern naval warfare. From the plans tested in its construction was built the David that immolated its own crew in destroying its enemy. There Is not in naval history another e mple of a career so disastrous and tragic as that of the David. Four crews went down with it in trial trips, and 1t Jost its ffth when it was itself involved in the distruction of its first and last in tended victim A Civnn When the original submarine w into the canal in 1562 fts designers already had in mind the construction of a dupll cate craft. Working from plans of the sunken ship. they built in Mobile in 1563 the famous and ill-fated David. This name was given to it because it was expected to destroy the Gollaths of the Union ficet The original David, from which its suc- cewsor differed only in detalls. was clgar-shaped and resembled in general de #ign the Holland submarines of the tw tieth century. 1t had a conning tower which, when the boat floated, was about all pl War Experiment. s tipped minor | world will have them | tarmers would that appeared. The boat was about thirty- five feet long and bullt of sheet iron. Its principal differences fro the mode sub: marine, those which made it imperfect and manageable only under the most favorab) circumstances, were these. The Holland is always buoyant; it l& submerged by deflect- ing a borizontal rudder when the beat is under way ot by filling it to a weight a Jttle more than that of the displaced water The David was submerged by filling and possessed only an upright rudder. In zas. of an accident to the Holland's machinery the boat will float to the top. It was vice | versa with the David. The Holland is run‘ by gasoline when on the surface and clec- ‘ tricity when beneath. The propeller wheel | of the David was turned by eight men. The | Holland lies steady in the water. It is per- | fectly ballasted when the water is taken | into the tanks, becausg they hold just the | required amount to bring the boat to | “fghting welght”" or “diving trim” and it cannot shift. The pavid was unstable io | this respect. The Holland fires the tor-| pedbex after a moment's rise to the surtace, | when within range, to sight the vessel to be | destroyed and get a direct line upon it The David dragged its torpedo after It under the keel of the vessel and it was exploded by the knock, when it struck Disastrous Beginning. The original David was designed for coast and river work In the gulf and the .\nuha-l sippi river. When it was put out of com- mission and the second boat was finished the ships of the porth were blockading the principal southern ports and there was a brilllant opportunity for a submarine tor- pedo boat to do the most effective kind of | work of it proved manageable. This | it d1d not do. On its trial trip it sank be- fore its proper time, and did not come up | ain. Its crew of ten men were suffocated It waa rnised and Lieutenant Payne of the confederato navy volunteered to take com- | mand of it. In 1864 he took it to Charleston | to undertake operations against the power- | ful blockading fleet. As it was nearing Charleston, a passing steamer sent its | swells over it. Too heavy to rise to the | waves, it rolled like a water logged tree | trunk and the wash went over it, pouring | down its oven hatch and quickly carrying it to the bottom, with its crew. Lieutenant Payne, who was in the conning tower, crawled out and swam untll a boat from | the steamer which had caused the disaster resuced bim. Again it was raised and again Licutenant Payne took command. With his crew of ten wen he made ready one evening to set out from Fort Sumter upon an offensive expedition against the union fleet, when for some unknown reason the David “turned turtle,” taking to the bot- tom this time eight of her ten men, two of the seamen escaping with the com- mander. That was enough for Lieutenant Payne, he gave up submarine naval maneuvers 1 spite of this disastrous succession of | accldents, one man maintalned his faith in the David. That man was one of the. deelgners, Mr. Aunley. He had the vessel | raised, collected a crew, not without difi- culty, and taking his craft up the Stono | river, made several trials which seemed to | Justity his confidenc day when the David went out and did not come back., Divers found it with its nose stuck in the mud. Mr. Aunley and his ten men were suffocated. For some time it Jay at the bottom of the river, but another daring experimenter was found who under- 100k to navigate it successtully if it were | raised. Ralsed it was, and the new com mander might have made good his promises Bad he not attempted to show that be could take it under & schooner and up on the other side, In which experiment it fouled the cable and suffocated another crew The David's’Last Shot. 1t speaks volumes for the daring of the southern naval men that any could be found to vemture upon the forlorn hope after this. Captain J. F. Carlson and Lieu tenant George E. Dixon persuaded the authorities to raise the “water cofin,' as the David had been gloomily nicknamed, and 1o let them take It out with the purpose of torpedoing the Housatonle of the unlon fleet.

Coming of the Danes | Rasmus B. Anderson, former United States minister to Denmark, in an article in the Chicago Record-Herald, traces the history of Danish emigration to the United States. where they have settled numerously, and their success in the various lines of activity. He writes, in part “A year ago there was Blair, Neb., an interesting little volume by P. 8. Vig on Danish immigration. To that charming little book 1 am indébted published in | for many of the facts presented in this arti- cle. “The Danes are found in every state and territory in the union, but most numer- ously In Wisconsin, Minnesota, lowa, braska, Illinois, New York, Utah and fornia. The census of 1880 gives Danes in California, 12,044 in Illinols, 15, 14,133 in Minnesota, 14,345 in Ne- braska, 13,385 in Wisconsin, 6,335 in Michi- gan, 3,136 In Kan In the '30s a large number of Danes were converted to the Mormon faith, and as a result there were in 1860 over 9,000 Danes in Utah, a con- siderable number of whom were Mormons. “According to a carefully prepared arti- cle by 8. Sorensen of Miuneapolls, based on the United States census of 1800, it ap- pears that the pumber of inhabitants in America who were elther born in Denmark or of Danish parents was 213,036, but this does not, of course, include grandchildren or great-grandchildren. According to Mr Sorensen, who is excellent authority, the 3,000 Danes were distributed as follows 1,099 Missour 53 North Dakota 9 South Dakata braska 142 Kannas § Kentucky 182 Tennesses ) Alabama 57 Missinsippl I8 Loulslana ) Texnr klahoma 9 Arkansas ) Montana Wyomin 11 New Maine New Ha Vermont Massachusetis Rhode Island shire. v Joraey Ivania are Maryland Dist. of Columt Virginia weat Virginia Mexl hington ..

They are distin guished for the earnestness of their re: liglous worship, for their ardent advocaey of the cause of clvil and reMgious liberty and for the well-night total absence of great crimes.

C. €. Cissell, who, after a brief address, congratulating the people upon having raised the money to pay the note, gave way to John Dale, who gave & brief history of the church from fits or- ganization. Mr. Dale told ef the early struggles, the hopes and fears of the plo- neer members and of the realization of their fdeals in the way of a fine church bullding W. P. Harford then gave a financial state- ment of the condition of the church from its completion, in 1892. At that time there was a debt of $16,000 0n the edifice, repre- sented by & mortgage of $10,000 and a note | | for $6,000. This note then bore interest at the rate of 10 per cent, but was afterward refunded at § per cent. The mortgage note bears 6 per cent interest. During the hard times following 1892 the church had paid its running expenses and kept up the in- terest on the mortgage and note, reducing the latter to the amount of $1,765, which, with the interest, was the sum just paid Dr. Jennings Speaks. At the close of Mr. Harford's financial statement Dr. Jennings, the presiding elder of the dlstrict, delivered a congratulatory address, that of the eleven Methodist Episcopal churches of Omaha and South Omaha seven were absolutely free from debt upon their buildings and with the exception of two the debts were small and easily cared for. During the time the debt of 38,000 has ex- isted on Hanscom Park church it cost the congregation, in principal and interest, nearly $10,000, and its final payment was cause for profound rejoicing among the membership. The note will be secured by the officfal board some time this week and it will bo burned at some future day in the presence of the congregation.

It is down in visible supply and up in price. Beginning this morning all consumers of fce in Omaha will have to pay just 10 cents more a hundred pounds than they bave been paylng. The advance applles to big and little consumers alike, excepting that the percentage of increase in price is greater for those who use the most ice, be- cause they have the lowest price. Ice bas been selling In this city at trom 20 to 60 cents a bundred and the new scale | ranges from 30 to 70 cents, according to the amount of ice used daily. “The increase in the price,” explains David “Talbot, the ice dealer, “is neces sary in order to let us out whole. The local ice crop Iast winter was not suMslent to last through an ordinary summer and the {mmense increase in consumpticn during western coast of this country. Vitus Bers ing discovered that parrow body of water Vitus Bering was a Dane, born in Jutland, and in 1725 was made chief commander of oue of the greatest geographical expeditlons ever undertaken. He explored the Sea of Kamchatka, and during this voyage he dis- covered Bering stralt in 1728, and ascer- tained that Asia was not joined to America. Thus, as the Norweglan, Leif Erikson, 13 the first white man' who sets foot on the extreme eastern part of this continent, so the Dane, Vitus Bering, becomes the di coverereof its extreme western boundary line. They stand, the one at the rising and the other at the setting sun, and clasp what is now the territory of the United States In their strong Scandinavian arms. “It may not be generally known, but it is nevertheless a fact that a Danish expedi- tion was sent to America by King Christian IV in the year 1619, one year before the landing of the pilgrim fathers. In the #pring of that year King Christian fitted out two ships, Eenbjorningen and Lam- prenen, for the purpose of finding a morth- west pussage to Asia. The commander of this expedition was the Norweglan, Jens Munk, born at Barby, in southern Norwa: in 1 He salled from Copenhagen with his two ships and sixty-six men May 1619. He explored Hudson bay and took possession of the surrounding country in the name of his sovereign and gave it the name of Nova Dania. All the members of this expedition perished except Jens Munk “nd two of his crew, who returned to Nor- way September 25, 1620. The ship cHaplain on this expedition was the Danish Lutheran minister Rasmus Jensen Aarhus and he was the first minister of the Lutheran church In the new world. He died Febru- ary 20, 1620. on the southwestern shore of Hudson bay, near the mouth of Churchill river. His last sermon was a funeral ser- mon, preached from bis own death bed “How much Danish blood there was the founders of New England it would be difficult to estimate, but it may be worth stating that the world-renowned pilgrim fathers came from that part of old England which At one time was almost entirely Danish, & fact corroborated by the nam of persons and places in that part of Eng- land. It can ve shown that Danes were found in New York, then called New Am- sterdam, as early as 1624 It is well known that the Danes’ emigrated to the West Indies at an early day. In fact Den- mark has bad colonies In the West Indies since 1850 and a number of Danes from time to time have found thelr way from those colonies to the British possessions which now constitute the United States Among irvmigrants of this kind I may mention the splendid Dane, Jockum Mel- chior Mogens, born in the fisland of St Thomas, March 4, 1715. He lived In New York from 1744 to about 1760, when he re- turned to St. Thomas and dled there August 18,1783, Mr. Mogens was a friend of the distinguished minister, Rev. H. M. Muhlen- berg, and did much for the Christian church in the West Indies. It can be shown that there were many ministers of Danish birth among the German Lutherans in Pennsyl- vania. One of these was Peter Brunholtz, who came to Philadelphia in 1745 and served as pastor in Germantown and Phila delphia until his death in 1765. John Chris. tian Lops was a minister in what is now called Athens, in New York s He was @ Dape by birth and became & teacher in in in the course of which he stated | the past six weeks has cut down our sup- ply to the point where we have found it necessary to buy ice from the north.

The balloon ascended almost straight up until Mr. Murphy, aeronaut, appeared like a tiny manikin. After he cut loose with his para- chute the balloon descended to the roof of Mr. Ricke' house just north of the park. It tore the chimney off the building, but be- yond that did no damage. The bowling alleys, swings, shooting galleries, merry- go-round and other pleasure devices were crowded all day. How They Contributed to American Development. the first college built by Germans in Phila- delphia in 1773. *“A number of Danes who lived in America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries might easily be mentioned, but Danish set- tlements were not started in the United States before about the middle of the nine- teenth century. In this connection it 1s necessary to call attention to the fact that there are more Danes in America than our census reports since. 1564 would indicate. Since that time the immigrants coming trom Schleswig are counted as Germans, while they are {n fact Danes; they speak Danish and count themselves as Danes The official report of immigration shows 120 Danes in the United States in 1820, 187 in 1830, 1,262 in 1840, 1,791 in 1850 and 5,540 1n 1860, and the emigration from Denmark may be said to have begun on a large scale o the early '60s. Before 1850 the few Danes In America were found chiefly in the large cities, especially in the east. A8 one of the fathers and ploneers of Danish immigration we may mention Niels Christlan Boye, born on the island of Lol- land in 1786, who died of cholera In St Loufs in 1849, Boye went to Philadelphia in 1837 to get an inheritance left by a brother who had died in this country. From Philadelphia he proceeded in the same year to Muscatine, la. In 1842 he re- moved to lowa City, where he became a merchant. He was in St. Louls buylug goods when cholera claimed him as fts victim. Boye was the first Dane, and we may safely add the first Scandinavian in the state of lowa “Another Danish ploneer was Charles Willlam Borup, born in Copenhagen in 1808, who died In St. Paul, Minn., in 1860, Mr. Borup was a physician and sailed to New York to practice his profession in 1827, but he soon was employed by the American Fur company, which sent him as its agent to Lake Superior. In 1848 he went to St Paul, where in company with his brother- law be founded the first bank in Min- nesota. There is no doubt that Mr. Borup was the first Dane who set foot on Wisconsin soll. He had a high reputation as & business man and citizen and as an carnest Christian. One of his sons became an officer in the United States army “Among Danes who came to America be- fore 1850 1 may also mention John Han- sen, one of the oldest settlers In Chisago, where he lived until his death, which curred a few years “‘Before 1850, at Hansen, oc- Nauvoo, TN, was P. 0 the Mormon, who translated the book of Mormon Into Danish, and who, after 1850, went to Denmark to make propa- ganda for the gospel of Mormonism “If it be said that the Danes come from one of the smallest countries in Europe and that they are but few in number, they may answer that they Inherit considerable Tenown. They may point to the fact that they have enriched the world with a liter- ature which is held in deserved respect “Beowulf,” the most important surviving monument of old English poetry, is claimed as a Danish poem. The first publication of it, from a manuscript in the British mu- seum, was by the great Danish scholar Thorkelin. The world is indebted to lit- tle Denmark and to her traditions for Ham- let, the hero of the greatest drama writ- ten by Shakespeare. The Danes may point 1o the great astronomer Tycho Brahe, one of the most renowned lndividuals of the sixteenth century. With perfect justice it has been sald that Tycho Brahe made the observations, that Keppler discovered the law and that Newton conceived the nature of the law."
