A NAVY TO BE 11L8FKCTED.
The conduct of the ofiicers of the
American fleet at Apia was admirable
from every point of view. They did
everything in their power to save their
ships, and displayed the highest qualities
of seamanship. Before the details f tin
disaster were received it was natural to
infer that the British ship had escaped
because she had a good supyly 'f coal
and was able to steam out of the harbor,
whereas fires were out in the other vessels.
This surmise was not well founded. The
seven ships were under full steam, but
only one of them had engines of suffic
ient power to do anything mor.: than
- to ease the strain on the anchor cabk
nemporarily. The Calliope escaped not
through superior seamanship, but through
the power of her engines. Every Ameri
can vessel was equally well handled, and
was lost neither through lack of adequate
precautions before the storm, nor through
any fault of the officers and men. The
hurricane did not come without warning.
For forty-eight hours the barometer had
been steadily falling, and every warship
in the harbor was prepared, so far a
human precautions were of any avail, to
meet the storm. When the crisis came
every officer was cool, self -possessed,
brave, capable and heroic. Mullan suc
cessfully beached the shattered Nipsic
after two German ships had goue down
under his eyes and no other resource re
mained. Schoonniaker and his lieuten
ants acted with splendid gallantry, and
lost their ship primarily through a col
lision with a German vessel morj un
manageable than their own. The Trcn
ton made a magnificent fight, and would
be afloat today if the fires had not beer
put out through a radical fault in the
construction of the hawsepipes. Even
with the engines stopped, the rudder car
ried away by a collision with wreckage,
and the canvas unmanageable, the fight
was stubbornly maintained with 4C0
sailors massed in the rigging to take the
place of sails. At the end the Ameri
can flag was run up, the "Star Spangled
Banner" was played, and the flagship
drifted down on the Vandalia to give
dispairing comrades, who had been cling
ing to the rigging for twelve hours, their
last chance of rescue.
There has been no achievement in
American naval history that has reflected
greater credit on the service than the
splendid bearing and heroic endurance
of the ofiicers of these doomed ship?.
Nature overpowered them, but they
fought a good fight and did what tin y
could for the honor of the American
name. The habit of sneering at the navy
and ridiculing the pretensions of the of
ficers to be as intelligent and skillful n
body of men as can be found under ai.y
flag is one that is easily formed durin.i
piping times of peace. The antiquated
ships remaining in service and the lo
of National prestige through neglect t;
keep the fleet abreast with European
navies have tended to lower the standing
of the ofiicers in the estimation of the
country. The catastrophe at Apia silence
cavilling critics, and sets the real charac
ter of the service in its true light. Amer
icans now know that they have no cau?(
to be ashamed of their naval force as ::
well officered and carefully disciplined
fighting service. The ships are hopeless
behind the times and unworthy of a
Nation of sixty millions, but the officers
and men are conspicuous now, as they
bare ever been in the past, for courage,
endurance and practical seamanship.
The conduct of the Admiral, officers
and men on shore after the loss of their
vessels was almost as noteworthy as their i
splendid behavior duiicg the forty-eight
hours' battle with the tempest. The
German officers were invited to co-operate
in the maintenance of order and dis
cipline in Apia, but preferred to leave
the Americans masters of the situation.
The town was at once policed by marines
froui the ships; the sale of liquor was
prohibited; order was restored with a
firm hand; the castaways were housed
and fed and the injured were cared for
in a temporary hospital, and the most
cordial relations were established with
the natives without any unwarrantable
usurpation of authority or interference
with the rights of the people. All the
arrangements made by Admiral Kimberly
were judicious and sensible, and no of
fense was given to either of the rival
kings. If the Germans declined to share
the resposibilitj of providing for the
orderly government of the capital in the
xtraordinarj emergency which ' had
Arisen, they had no cause for complaint
.and every reason to be grateful to the
American officers for stationing a marine
guard in the streets and forestalling ex
ctHses, outrages and seamen's brawls be
tween the rival naval forces. Admiral
Kimberly has shown himself to be as
wise anil conciliatory a commander of
the naval forces on shore as he was a
brave and plucky sailor in his flagship
beset with a hurricane. N. Y. Tribune.
A New Ewgland paper sends up a
wail to the government for opening up
Oklahama. It says that within the last
eight years 142,000,000 acres of land
have passed into the hands of these per
sistent and grasping arrogants. The ter
ritory thus taken is larger than New
England and the middle states together.
It complains that they cheapen food of
every kind and make it much easier to
get, and thus it wishes us to believe it is a
great misfortune. A large number of
people have thus secured homes and per
manent means of liring; and the general
prosperity of the countiy has bren accel
erated in an almost miraculous manner.
It is not at all likely, therefore, that
the opening of Oklahoma will prove to
be an injury racher than a benefit, as our
troubled cotemporary predicts. The
fa t that 2,000,000 acres of land are to
le added to the productive area of the
country, in farms of 100 acres each, is
c -rtainly not to be regarded with alarm.
No nation has ever yet come to harm by
multiplying the number of its landhold
ers and increasing the extent and the
facilities of its leading industry. We
can not have too many homes, particularly
those of the rural sort, which imply com
fort and happiness for the masses. It is
not true that the new lands are taken by
the lawless and adventurous element of
our population. The statistics of agri
cultural, business and social progress
west of the Missouri River conclusively
and splendidly refute that insulting
theory. Neither is it true that the spec
ulators ref.p the best of the harvest when
ever the homestead area is enlarged.
There is yery little chance for speculation
in such lands except through the process
of converting thein into farms. More
men have been losers than have ever
been gainers by trading in unimproved
western real estate. The men who make
inoujy are those who till the soil and
gain the increased value thus imparted
to their holdings; and the men who
aasten to the regions where new lands
are open to settlement belong for the
most part to that class, as the record of
their achievements clearly demonstrates.
They are honest and industrious citizens,
so far us the large majority of them are
concerned. It is not less to the advantage
of the nation than of themselves that
they undergo the hardahips and priva
tions of frontier life. They carry with
them into waste places all the influences
of civilizaeion: and so long as any land
remaing for them to occupy and develop
they are entitled to the privilege of going
forward in their work of conquest.
Cure Your Catarrh, or Cet S500
For many years, the proprietors of Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, wlu are thor
oughly responsible, financially, as any
one can easily ascertain by proper inqui

nearly every newspaper in the land, a
standing reward of $500 for a case of
nasal catarrh, no matter how bad, or of
how long standing, which they cannot
cure. The Remedy, which is sold by
druggists at only 50 cents, is mild, sooth

THE WONDER3 CF NATURE IN THE
GREAT YOCr.:tTE PARK.
Giants or the Forest Meastirin:; Thirty Feet
in Diameter A Couch unci Four Driven
Into a Hollow lAtg Kuc-h State In the
Union llt-prcscnted by u Tree.
Tho story of tho " Fallen Pino" doubtless
comes from a suggestion made by one of tho
"big trees" in tho Yosemito region of Cali
fornia. Those '"big trees" aro among tho
most sublime of the natural wonders of tho
world. Ono who has never seen them can
have no conception of their immensity. Tho
largest of them aro over Ii!) feet in diameter
It) feet from the ground, and tho tallest are
over ;H)U feet high. Tue principal ones in tho
Yosemito park have, distinctive titles or
names. Each stalo of the Union has its tree
specially designated, and many of the his
toric characters of tho nation are honored
with tho tree. The namo in each instance is
handsomely painted on a broad board and
uailed fast to tho treo.
Tho treo 1 have referred to specially above
is known now as "The Fallen Monarch." It
was at ono time called, in derision, "Tho An
drew Juhnson" treo, after tho rupture lx
tween tho lato president and his party. But
tho titlo "Fallen Monarch" is so appropriate
that by an universal sense the namo lives,
and will live as long as tho language lives,
or until the treo has passed awey to dust or
ashes.
COXTSMPOItARIES OF NOAII.
This tree was one of tho grandest in tho
grove. As it now lies prostrate upon tho
earth, its diameter averages over twenty
feet for moro than a hundred feet of its
length. Tho top and part of the butt end
have been destroyed by lire. How long tho
treo has lain there is unknown; it may have
been there for more than a thousand years.
The wood of tho "big trees" is a seeies of
cedar, and it is well nigh imperishable in at
mospheric influences. Fire, however, has
leen the groat destroying element in those
wonderful relies of the past.
I say relics of the past, for these big trees
appear to Ix'Iong to a very remote ago. Tiie
commonly accepted evidences show that they
are, or at lea.st many of them are, over 4,001)
years old. Indeed they are supposed to be
contemporaries of Noah, having survived the
deluge, it U'ing believed also that tho ark it
self was built of tho same sjK'cies of -wood.
You climb to tho crest of tho "Fallen Mon
arch" by tho a ill of a ladder of some ten
rungs. You can have no just conception of
tho immensity of the treo until you walk
along its mighty back for over a hundred
feet.
Near by aro some moro wonders. I give
your readers soma idea of some of them.
'The General Grant" tree is not far oil, u
huge and grim specimen, looking as stern as
the great warrior ever appeared. Thero is
o:io known ns "Tlio Grizzly Giant." a mon
ster 27 feet in diameter, 0 feet from the
ground. At the height of just 100 feet the
(irst limb conies out; that limb is 4 feet i.i
diameter. This treo gives 3'ou a deep sense of
awo as you gazo on its sublime yet grizzly
aspect.
Within closo walking distanco is "The Tele
scope Tree." This is about 1C"J feet high, the
top of it abovo that height having been de
stroyed by tire. This treo is a hollow tube.
From the base yo'i look up through this tube
into the deep skies above. You can ride, on
horseback into tho opening below.
through a k:;ot noLS.
Not far away is another hollow monster
prostrate on tho earth. You can rido in at.
the loner entrance, and go 100 feet, and out
at a knot hole.
Tho most conspicuous and most celebrated
of the trees is ono that stands directly astride
of tho broad a ven uo made for driving thro;: -h
tho park. Tho avenue, a highway, m-i
directly toward this tree, and nn epenin;; i::
tho road led is cut directly through the h :
of the very tree itself. You drive righ: i.i
under tho archway of solid wood, and the
driver stops, tho givat stage and four hor. Tr
ail covered by the sheltering trca; and t:. . .
is, furthermore, ten feet of solid wall on
either si le of tho wheels of the coach. . The
ircj is about thirty feet in diameter at the
height cf iho stage top.
On the occasion of my visit thero ws had
tho coach stopped, and were allowed several
minutes' time to comprehend this sublime
work of nature, turned to sueh cn abiding
interest to the tourit. In our party vcre
several Australian and English gentlemen,
and they said that in all their travels around
tho world there was nothing so grand as
thesj wonders of tho Yosemito.

Tl-.a state also keeps a strong guard of po
licemeu in ail the parks, and no one is allowed
to cut even a cane or twig, or pluck a bunch
cf kaves from one of tho trees. Tho largest
of tho parks contains about 2,fi00 acres; it is

RAILWAY RELIEF ASSOCIATIONS.
I'o'uti on Mow They Aro Ctinilnrteti nnI
Wli;:t I C'hilir.ed for Them.
Seeing as we do tho many lines in tho coun
try grouped into largo systems, whoso owner
ship will no doubt remain stable in years to
come, permanenco of employment and stabil
ity of position is easy to bo guaranteed, and
tho corj (orations can now Ixttr secure their
own rights and strengthen themselves i-gainst
tho encroachments of tho public by drawing
their employes moro closely to th'-m, showing
that paternal caro and solicitude for them
which tend to establish good feeling und com
munity of interest.
Kelief associations und.'r tho guidance of
the companies will do this. They aro flour
ishing on tho Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania railroads. Tho organizations
oil theso roads may bo taken ns tho typo of
what other companies should do. On the
former, the schemo originated with tho elder
Garrett nearly ten years ago. At its organi
zation nil employes could join without
regard to age. Alter a short period those
over -r years and those who could not pass
a medical examination were not allowed to
join. All persons employed regularly by the
company aro required to pass a medical ex
amination, must bo under 'J5 years of ago,
and must join tho relief association. Thus
it will Ihi seen that nearly all their employes
aro memlxTs. Tho compulsory feature looks
to an outsider like a hardship, but tho obli
gation is on him only who seeks employment.
The employes are divided into two classes
hazardous and non-hazardous; and theso two
classes are divided into five others, who pay
into a fund certain ti:;od sums each month,
according to the amount of wages regularly
received. Benefits are :i:d in weekly indem
nities in cases of sickness and disablements
find a gross sum to the beneficiary when death
occurs. They vary according to the amount
contributed. Free medical and surgical at
teiulaiice is given. ho.-;:;Is are estal lished.
physicians are appointed :.t convenient points
on the lin". The company has coutrihutcd
il()0.00l, tho i::r. r.'.-t on which at 0 per cent,
goes into tho fund yer.r'y It iiIm) ii;!s
t)i':0 p:-r year iniwa sr.. : : .::;!. 'r-;i fund. A
building loan a.-oci.-.tkHi l.:;s also been
formed, v. hieh has be -o.r.o riti.i' popular.
There are many other Jil.eral features, of
which limited space will imt permit an enu
meration. The IVmisylvatiia Railroad company has
elso adopted a system of relief similar to that
cf 1 'no Baltimore and Ohio, but not so exten
sive. It ii entirely vo'jntarv, and numbers
over 20.000. It rapidly increases in popular
ity as its beneats become more appreciated.
In both companies the employes -ire rapid
ly leaving the local benevolent .-sociaiions,
they find they can insure theuis"!ves with the
aid of a solvent and powerful .'ompany for
much les money than in the thousand and
one local lodges w!io:-a solvency depends on
the hontvty of a secretary or a treasurer.
Other s3-stems of relief, but to a minor ex
tent, have been adopted by railway compa
nies notably freo hospital servieo for the
sick and disabled upon the Santa Fe and Mis
souri Pacific, all of which materially lessen
the number of claims for damages end sub
sequent costly trials and judgments in the
courts. L. O. Goddard in Tho Century.
How to Cet to Sleep.
Tho suggestion recently made in this eol
umn in regard to met hods of inducing or pro
moting sleepiness has been put to a practical
test by one constant reader of Tho Tribune
with most gratifying results. Tho sugges
tion was that sleep could bo wooed success
fully bv a method of counting in this fash
ion: 1, 2; 1, 2, .-3; 1, 2, 3, 4; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.,
up to 25. Tho experimenter relates his ex
perience in the following language: "My
plan is not to count rapidly, but to call off
mentally one fgure with every expiration cf
breath. A person in good health counts at
that rata about twenty a minute. Before.
reaching 25 in this scale, he must count for
nhot.t si-teen minutes, as tho ser;es mounts
"P to :)C5 counted straight aheaiL But I
iave found one decided advantage over
counting regular order. That can La done
mechanically, without any mental activity
whatever.
The other method is not burdensome to the.
mind, but furnL-h.es just enough material to
keep tho thoughts off other subjects. I often
Cud myself forgetting tho number at which 1
ought to stop and return to 1, whereupon I at
once begin again where I left oif and proceed
in order. I cannot say that this scheme v.-ih
produce sleep when there is no inclination or
impuisa iu that direction, but when there is
even a rudimentary impulse I know it will
encourage tud increase it. I have tried it a
good many times since I first read it in The
Tribune and it has o;Jy failed me twice.
Often on waking I will remember that I was
not able to count beyond 7 or 8 before losing
myself hi slumber. 1 havo never yet eounted
up as far as 20. I think 17 or IS has been my
limit. I believe that tho author of this sug
gestion bus conferred a boou on people who
aro troubled with insomnia, although it can
uc.t bo expected to work in every case. New
York Tribune.
Applying a Principle.
Most of us understand a principle most
thoroughly when its application is to be found
in cur ov. a line of thought or work.
1 he mcmbc-rj of a central high school, after
a long debate, decided that tho marking rys
tem was injurious arid unfair, and petitioned
the principal to abolish it-
"Wo know," said thJ spokesman, "whether
wo Lave prepared our lessons or not; the
record of an accidental uiLis may bo mislead
ing." Thcra was a great baseball match impend
ing, in which the whola school was intensely
interested.
"Let its try it on tho boll ground first,"
said the princinaL "In tho coming match
keep no score. You will know whether oo
phiy well or ill, and is for errors, they are
often purely accidental. Why record them?"
Tho boys withdrew without another word.
