It is proposed to comme: y of the opening on on the Hudson. is event occurred in August, 1807, when Fulton made the trip frag New York to Albany in the Clermont. Of all recent centennials this! should have ihe most vivid element of romance. There are few mental a a Pictures more pleasing than those suggested by a steamboat, whether it is an ocean liner, a crack yacht or 4 facing Mississippi side-wheeler “with a nigger squat on the safety valve.” When Fulton went about among his friends to raise $1,000 to carry his project through one subscriber gave $100 on the understanding that his name was not to be published. “I shouldn't like the people who come after me to learn,” said he, “that I was such a dunce as to think that Ful- ton or any one else ever could make a boat go four miles an hour by steam.” + ie The Clermont actually made five miles an hour, to the amazement of all. She was only 130 feet long, 16 1-2 wide and 4 feet deep. She weighed 160 tons. The new idea in transportation was taken up with remarkable enter- prise, In 1811 two steam ferry-boats were built for use on the North River and one for the East. In 1813 a steamboat was launched at Pitts- burg to ply on the Ohio and Mississippi between Louisville and New Orleans. She came to her end by fire, establishing a time-honored prece- dent. By 1820 the nation had a steam tonnage of 20,000—the gross ton- nage of a single present-day ocean liner of the Celtic and Cedric type. Fulton, strictly speaking, was not the Father of the Steamboat. Rob- ert Fitch, in 1787, tried on the Delaware a small steamer propelled by canoe paddles. But it was on the Hudson that steam navigation in the true sense began, and from an East River shipyard came the first of the world’s steam tonnage, now grown to the enormous total of 30,000,000 tons. Using the Lloyd estimate of $150 as the average cost per ton of steam vessels, the value of the world’s fleets is $4,500,000,000. “You never can tell about an invention,” said one of the sceptics on the Clermont, and the figures prove the truth of the statement, The screw propeller came in 1837. The first vessel to use It to cross the Atlantic was an American, the Stockton. Steel steamers date from 4879, and it is a coincidence of interest that the first Atlantic liner built of steel was the property of the same company, the Allan, which to-day owns the only turbine steamers, Other coincidences which the curlous may note are that the Fulton centenary finds a new marine motor, the gas engine, in growing use and destined largely to replace steam in small vessels. And while this year is the centennial of Nelson, the world’s greatest captain of warships propelled by sail power, it is also the year of Togo and the gigantic steam and steel battle-ship. 1 Among the world’s wonder stories of invention there is none Ppossess- ng more features of the marvellous than the development of steam navi- gation from its small cradle on the Hudson. The Proposed centennial should be one of peculiar interest and pride to New York.

Now, ‘un workingman of thirty, and, after careful thought, marty for the last two years, ag I belleve {t a the only mesfortune to have no young lady acquaintances, N I bediove, @ the etumbling-block with many people on the mat- rimonial road, Here I have been ready to marry one of my race and faith ome ume, and I haven't met her yet. Wat shall I do? RL A. Jetway City, T State of feoling. Without having in mind any ine dividual adored young woman to blind his judg- ment and obscure his understanding, he 1s anxtous to put his head in the matrimonial yoke—I had almost sald 10088. He eoeks what most men not-obdfuseated by a blind- ing passion fly, and it eludes him, If I endeavor to help him toward the destred goal It is as one might discourse to one under the law's sentence on the comparative painlessnees and compensating fea- tures of hanging. The young man says he has for some time‘been willing to marry one of his rane and faith. In that last word Iles the solution cf his problem. Let him go to church, and keep on going untt! he finds-his fate there. Perhaps he goes to church already and has not seen her. But why should he not take the quest into allen folds? Why not seek among the other churches of his creed a congregation posseasing eligible and charming young women. Does he not know that after three straight Sundays’ attendance the Pros- elyting pastor will leave the ninety and nine and come after him, inviting him to the young men’s meetings, to choir practice and the Sunday-school sociables? And that the young women of the flock will be as nice to him as they always are to a new young man? The programme, briefly, is this: Find the church. Find the young wom- an you like best in it. Seek an introduction to her. The Sunday-school superintendent {s generally the willing medium of such meetings. Then take her home after church or choir practice. Ask to call, and take her to the theatre, Young men with such well-defined matrimonial intentions:as you have are rare. They are a distinct attraction in the eyes of the fair, and if you will only give yourself half a chance you will not be slow in finding it out. You must know lots of young men in a business way. Most of them have sisters. Why not get to know them. It ought to be easy for you to meet a dozen young women {n this way and find a more or less adjustable fate among them. I don’t advise you to marry her when you do-unless you feel that you cannot possibly live another minute withont her. And even then the sexton would do you a greater favor than the parson.
