TRAMP STEAMERS' VOYAGES
These Craft Carry Bulk of Ocean
Trade and Encircle the Globe
Many Times.
The bulk of the ocean-borno
'ommeree of the world is curried
lot in the great liners but in the
lost of so-called tramp steamera
hat are ready to take cargo to
) r from an1 part of the world.
They were willing to carry coul
icross the western ocean in mid'
winter during the fuel shortage
occasioned by the strike in out
anthraoite mines. They would
take oil to the far east , cotton to
Europe , provisions or coal to the
Blockaded part of Vladivostok ii
: he otl'er was high enough. In
fact , they are ready to take any
thing anywhere when a fair re
turn in cargo or moiitjy it * ollVred
for the services rendered and the
dangers run.
As an example of the wander
ings of one of these tramp ship *
in a little over a year mention mn.\
be made of the log of thcsteamtM
Massapeqna , which was recent 1 ;
in this harbor. She is a Hritisl
ship so far as build , Hag and reps
try go , but she is practically
owned by New Vorkeis , and rep
resents the investment of Amer
iran capital. This is a record o :
her recent sailing : From Xev
York to the west coast of Soutl
America , via the straits of .Mil
gel Ian. back to New York over tin
same route. From New Yorl
she clearer ! for the far east , goinj
to China and Japan by way o
the Cape of ( Jootl Hope in ordei
to avoid the 1'nssian vessels in Ha
lied sea. From Tokio she wen
to .Manila , from .Manila to ( Vbn
from Cebn to Ha bang , thence re
turned to the United States vi :
the Sue/ canal , bringing 14,75 :
bales of hemp to Boston and Xcv
York.
This wandering occupied prac
tically IH months , for the .Massa
pequa left New York on .March 2
of last year bound to the WOK
coast of South America , and ai
rived in Host on on Thursday
April 20. Her next trip is to tl'u
west coast of South America , am
goodness only knows how long i
will be before she reaches he
home port. Bristol. England , if sin
ever returns there. No impoi
taut repairs have been made 01
her engines in three years ii
fact , no repairs other than wha
has been done by her own eiigim
room force , which of itself is ;
tribute to the excellence of th
work of British yards ( she wa
built in Siinderland ) in eiiginini
such ships.
Some of these ocean carrier
have splendid records of contini :
ous runs. We were told receni
ly of a vessel that was steamin
for -M'day.H without once sloppin
her engine even momentarily ,
rather remarkable cndnranc
test. At a ten-knot rate , or sa
250 miles per day , she would hav
covered 11,000 miles without one
turning the steam off from tb
engine.

The Days Of The Sea Serpent.
Bill Nyc has a saying to the
effect that the good die young ,
but the others grows up , become
old settlers and tell lies about
the early days. The season is
now at hand when the spinner of
yarns gets in his tine work upon
the unsuspecting schoolmistress
while up in the northern woods
the schoolmaster falls an easy
victim to the twice-told talcs of
the guide. These arc the days of
of the sea serpent and the big
catch offish. Now begins the
accumulations of material for
future yarns and rcminisccnses ,
which is as it should be ; but there
is always a large grist of rustic
lore and superstition of which
the gullible public must needs be
warned. When one gets among
the "natives" , he must indeed beef
of sound stuff if he is to conic
away with nothing of this kind of
infection.
A letter recently received asks
for information concerning the
hoop snake , which , according to
local report , takes its tail in its
mouth , rolls rapidly and pene
trates wood or any other sub
stance against which it nuiv
strike. The writer , a very in
telligent young lady , adds that : i
member of her school board in
sist that all these local traditions
arc true , and , furthermore , thai
a tree struck by this accomplish
ed reptile will surely die. Ir
reply I suggested that in all pro
bability the tree would die it's
a way trees have and that slu
bad best exercise caution in hei
anti-hoop argument if she carer
to retain her position.
Another Communication fron
a little girl who has not yei
reached her teens , tells me tha
near her home there is a pom
whose water is so poisonous tha
a stone thrown therein will no
sink. What a blessing if onlj
this gravity-eliminating poison
could be judiciously distributed.
Such a saving there would be in
the line of broken china , spilt
milk and muffed third strikes !
If all the false tradition in pop
ular belief concerning our humble
plant and animal friends could be
eradicated , what a host of cher
ished hullucinations we should
be forced to offer up as sacrifices
to scicacel The long-suffering
toad would be exenorated from
the charge ol producing warts.
ICarthworms and frogs would no
longer rain down from the heav
ens upon the wet sidewalks be-
neath. Horsehair snakes , re
nouncing spontaneous generation
in the historic water trough ,
would become simple hair worms
and claim honorable descent from
a long line of hairworm ancestry.
The industrious spider would lose
credit for many of the cobwebs
that greet our eye. The despised
grass snake would be placed on
the list of friends to man , and
from the bat , "the night police
man of the garden , " would be
removed the stigma of carding
vermin. Snakes would have the
> rivilegc of dying without linger-
ng until the sun goes down , and
x multitude of much maligned
creatures , hitherto regarded as
poisonous , would be recognised
as harmless.
However , it is not only in the
world of living things that we
nect these persistent supersti
tions , but wherever man has to
lo with nature's various forms
he constructs a creed of his own.
Meteorological phenomena bear
the brunt of much of this mis
placed confidence. "Rain before
seven , clear before eleven , " is an
tract from the code. Three
stars within the halo of the moon
iletermine the time that is to
elapse before a change of weath
er. Dew , probably , will never
ase to "fall , " nor pitchers to
ls\veat. " "Shooting stars" will
pursue their mad career as of
yore , while tree toads , beavers
and muskrats will continue to
write the almanac.
If a portion of the skepticism
that is expended so lavishly upon
Pocanhontas , Newton's apple ,
Watt's kettle and Washington's
hatchet were directed toward
these current nature myths ,
loubtless we should be more ed-
scrving of the distinction of
living in a scientific age.

Our National Inheritance.
1 Rev. J. Cronenberger preached
a special sermon at the Christian
church last Sunday on "Our
National Inheritance of Godli
ness. " Rev. Cronenberger said
in substance :
"Independence day is observed
as our one great distinctive na
tional holiday. And this is as it
should be ; for the event which it
celebrates is beyond question tlio
most important in the history of
the United States. There is
such a thing as national right
eousness. Gladstone held rightly
that international conduct was
subject to the same law of right
as the law between individuals.
McKinley held the same view as
to our duty to Cuba. And na
tional righteousness is a matter
not merely between different na
tions , but of the public conduct ,
legislation , and administration of
any nation. A nation may keep
faith or break faith with another
nation or with its own best tradi
tions. God has a use for nation
al righteousness in our day. His
providence brings nations to
gether , and the weak nations feel
the strong touch of power , the
poor nations of wealth , the igno
rant nations of intelligence , and
their lower moral standards feel
the touch of those that are
higher.
This contact of righteousness
has long been known in mission
ary work ; but we have come to a
time of "the open door , " when
commercial contract is largely
free , and with it a contract of
law. Civilized nations insist on
exterritoriality in their inter
course with uncivilised or half-
civilised people. And the guar
dianship which forbids the fur
nishing of weaker with arms 01
strong drink enters into treaties.
The Psalmist declai'ed ' Unit
"Our fathers trusted in thee. "
We arc proud to boast of the
faith and devotion of the fathers
of our "Grand Republic. " The
fact of such an inheritance is be
yond question. Despite the un
doubted influence of the infidel
philosphy of the eighteenth cen
tury upon several of our most
prominent founders , notably
upon such men as Paine , Frank
lin and Jefferson , there was ,
without doubt , a controlling
spirit of devout faith from thr
colonial times to the formation
of the constitution. Columbus
was a man of prayer and devo
tion. The first colonies in Flor
ida were by the Ilugenots. Sir
Humphrey Gilberts was a man ol
much faith. Sir Walter Scott
left a religious impression on the
Virginians until this day. The
Pilgrim Fathers need no praise
here , all admit that their devo
tion and faith was above ques
tion. All these men were rever
ent believers in God and his prov
idences. They felt as we feel ii
reading their story , that the }
owed their success to God's guid
ance and blessing. Their succes ;
was remarkable not explainer
to them or us by anything shor
of the help of God. The infer
enccforusis direct both to (1
renewed and reverent study o
the high aims they sought. Sue !
study is the work of this day ; am
(2) devout methods in seekinj.
those aims. Getting their lint
of thought we need to push on ii
the same direction.
It is the duty of an Americai
citisen to love his country. Chrisi
was a patriot ; his was a missiot
to his own people , and to tin
world. Any religion which ha ;
not in it the elements of the pa
triotism is foreign to the religior
! of Christ. It is the duty of at
i American citisen to reverence tin
'law of the land. Laws arc nee
'essary. ' They promote the wel
! being of the people. The Chris
tian citizen should know the lawi
and reverence them , obey them
If the laws are bad he may labo
to change them ; but true rever
ence for law should be one of tin
predominant traits of his charac
ter. It is the duty of the Ameri
can citixen to treat with respec
those who are in office. It i
written , 'Thou shalt not speal
evil of the rulers of my people. '
It is both a sin and a mistake.
It is something that all citizens
should discountenance and dis
courage by word and example.
It is the duty of an American
citizen to aid in the general dif-
'usion of s o u n d knowledge
throughout the land. A repub-
ic can not exist where the people
ire ignorant. See the more than
six million foreigners in the IT. S.
A half-million each year. I am
reminded of one of the great
statesman of the nineteenth cen-
ury , who said , "When America
las eaten lier full of foreign ox ,
hen will he begin to gore from
he inside. ' I am sure of this ,
lear hearers , that to the same
extent that we fail to christian-
/M the foreigner of the pagan
amis and nations , they will pag-
inise us. A great and awful
iroblcm lays at the door of the
hurch , to christianize , educate
md citizenize the foreigner.
The ignorant cannot under
stand their duties and rights as
citizens. In America the people
ire the rulers. We are all Kings.
It is our duty to be intelligent
n d to promote intelligence
throughout the whole land.
That means among the foreign
ers who come , in the slums of
the cities , in the frontier coun
tries and regions , among the
whites and the blacks , the red
and the vellow , and people of all
conditions. "

The Beef Trust Ffcht
The indictments against the
beef trust officials will probably
result , in one of the greatest
combats that have ever been
waged in this country under the
forms of criminal law. The fed
eral government has grappled
with the biggest monopoly and
one of the strongest financial
giants of the age , in a criminal
prosecution which menaces , not
only the existence of the packers
trust , but the business honor ,
social standing and personal li
berty of the packers thetnselv2s.
Armed with great wealth , with.
high social and business influences
which ramify throughout the en
tire land and reach to the heart
of Washington itself , the beef
trust magnates will be able to
use every agency known to human
ingenuity to defeat the ends of
justice. Not only the vulgar
bribe and it will amount to a
king's ransom wherever it can
avail but more potent and far-
reaching personal influences and
secret springs of human conduct
will be brought to bear upon
prosecutors , witnesses , jurors and
all who have a voice in the trails.
An honest man docs not find it
hard to refuse a money bribe , but
few men , no matter how honest
can resist the occult and subtle
power that disguises temptation
itself in the innocent multiforms
of the affections , social pride or
self-preservation. That the pack
ers will put up a bold and defiant
fight is cvidened by the hardi
hood , amouting almost to open
effrontery , with which they have
already sought to bring influences
to bear on the federal officials at
Washington to let up in the in
vestigations , and by their em
ployment of an army of private
detectives to shadow the govern
ment's officers and witnesses.
Yet the arm of the national
government is long and strong ,
and the federal courts have been
singularly successful in dealing
with rich and powerful criminals
in the past. And so there is rea
son to hope and believe that jus
tice will be done at last in this
case of the people against a mer
ciless monopoly which has ground
the faces of rich and poor alike.
