"Under the elder Adami the navy which Washington advocated wa- actually begun , and ovrn In Its Infancy It accomplished feats of noto. The work of building It up was un wisely stopped and the war ot 1812 showed clearly the vital benefits conferred upon the nationby the little navy which It , possessed , and thetcrrlblo loss and damaged caused by the fact that In lo this navy was but a Binall fraction of what It should have been. The utterances of Monroe , the younger Ad ams and Andrew JacUson show that the Its- son was nt least partially learned and our navy , though never brought up n lto to the standard It tthould have been In point of Hl/o , vvn1 ? nevertheless maintained In a con dition not wholly out of proportion to the needs and the honor of the nation.

" Extracts are also given from the mes sages of President ( Irani , Arthur , Cleve land and Harrison , all ur'glng the upbuilding of the navy.

The fact that a citron ot Nebraska has been commissioned to guard the Interests of the United States In the sunny Isles of Samoa lends a local Interest to the pen pic tures of native llto In that tropical land drawn by John Harrison Wagner In Harper's Magazine. The simplicity of a Samoan bathing party Is thus sketched : Uy-and-by the visitors , ono by one , retired to tlii'ir houses , and at about 10 o'clock , the rain by this time having ceased and the moon coming out In all her splendor , the girls suggested a balh. So off we started , Hinging , laughing Hind chattering like chil dren just released from school , till down by the beach we camb\ \ ' to a ntlnlatuto fresh- water lagoon . Eaclf'glrl as she reached the water's edge untwisted the lava lava , or linen walstcloth , that , formed her only gar mcnt , and as It felljrtgher feet , dived Into the pool. Having''Improvised a bathing- suit with a towel , I fallowed , and there In the moonlight wo splashed about and dived and swam , the girls wlth/tholr lithe , grace ful figures , and drlppluv , gleaming locks , looking like a band of flusky water-nymphs from some old pagan paradise. After the bath the girls ran races , and I was Initiated Into the mysteries of a game that was the Samoan equivalent ot the old English Klss- In-the-rlng All went merrily till the shoutIng - Ing iind laughter brought an angry old gen tleman on the scene , who Informed us that It was qulto time that nil decent people , Samoan or otherwise , were asleep. Not altogether - gether sorry to take the hint , I retired under my mosquito-nets , whllo the girls stretched themselves out on the mats around the house , and soon we were all asleep. The "Taupo" Is alwajs a young and good- looking girl , gercrally the daughter 01 adopted daughter of the chief iShc Is chosen as "Maid of the Village , ' and maintained by contributions levied from all the Inhabi tants , who supply her with food , clothing ( the latter not a heavy or expensive Item ) and a large , well-built house , In which she Is expected to dispense hospitality to all Im portant visitors Three or four attendants are always with her , whoso duty It Is not enly to serve her , but to keep a watchful eye upon her and see that she never stray a from the path of propriety , she being destined eventuallytO wed some great chief On the ceremony taking place the village to which the bridegroom belongs must make an offering ot valuable mats' , largo quantities ot food and "various kinds of property to the village of which she Is the maid ; so that , apirt from any considerations of abstract morality , she Is looked upon as a valuable asset , and Is guarded accordingly. Should bhe , however , yield to the fascinations ot tome handsome young mania ( dandy ) , her hair la cropped short , , she Is stripped ot her simple finery , and degraded to the post of attendant on the more prudent virgin who may be chosen as her successor. On the other hand , the young "blood" plumes him self on his conquest , and the moro adven tures ot the kind he can boast of , the moro highly he Is considered. Thus , though the less culpable ot the two , the woman has til ir Ke all the sicrlflce and bear all the pun- Isnmont ; so that lu-thls matter at least the savage Is quite In touch with the humane sentiments of civilization A SAMOVN DANCE. The girls having announced that they would glvo a dance that night , after a short Interval ot rest , spent the remainder of the nftoinoon weaving wreaths ot flowers and dressing their hair When night came the guest-house was lighted with two or three lamps placed upon the floor , and a screen v as arranged at the far end , behind which the girls retired to make their preparations. Pour musicians seated themselves on one sldo and proceeded to beat a sort of wooden drum , at the sound of which the guests be gan to assemble. Neither the chief nor the old men showed themselves , as the slva Is looked upon with great disfavor by the mis sionaries , and the elders doubtless thought It would not bo decorous of them to be present , though they give mo to understand that they had no objection to the dance tak ing place. The house wlis soon filled with the young men and girls , who sat chatting , laughing , and smoking , and facing a clear place left In the center for the performers The ! muslclins beat a sharp tattoo on the diums and. at a great round of applause and clapping of hands , the four girls appear from behind the screen and take their places In the open space Their hindsomo brown holies glisten with c-ocoanut oil , their hair is decorated with shells end white and Ecarlot flowers , and each Is clad In a very short lava lava of about the sl/o of a largo pocket handkerchief , Over this Is a fringed and tasscllod girdle made of pandanus fiber and dyed In brilliant colois , and each weanf round the neck and falling over the breasts a wreath of. stongly scented flowers. The lamps aio now plaeed upon the edge of the mats , and the girls.seat themselves In a line facing them. Ono begins slnglni ; In a shrill hlgh-pltchcd voice , end the others In turn take up thn strain , the four voices blending In a weird sort of harmony , to which the heating of the. drums and the deep basa voices of the musicians make an ef fective accompinlment As the girls sing , their belles sway from Bide to side , the arms wave gracefully In perfect time , whllothe miiJle , which commences slowly , gradually quickens , witll arms , bodies and -voices arc going at lightning speed ; then they gradu ally slow down again , and the song dies away In a soft tender whisper.

Great Victory for the Public in the City of Detroit. ESTABLISHMENT OF THREE-CENT FARES IlONtilln frinn Uio lltinlcl- nicftrlc I.lKlit I'lniit TVIc- liumHntcM Cut In T\\u _ _ I'alil. Aa a result of nn nctlvo conflict with mu nicipal monopolies during the last half dozen ears , writes a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune , Detroit , baa Important and tangible results to show. U has sixty-three miles of now street railway , operated approximately upon a three-cent fare , besides grooved alls and the best of electrical equipment on all the lines of the city , and all cm- iloyca receiving slightly higher vvngea per day than before for 25 per cent lets hours of work. U has n municipal electric lighting > lant , by which the streets and the public mllillngi are lighted far belter and more cheaply than formerly by private companlea. It lias a new telephone system which Is IvnlltiR the old Hell company ! la the extent of KM business , and has brought down the cost of telephone service lu the city 50 per cent within the last eighteen months. As the public well knows , far and away .ho most Important and. exciting branch of this spirited conflict has been that with the street railway companies. The first street railways of Detroit , built In 1SC4 , under thirty-year grants , proved a financial fail ure at flr < jt , and were later bought up at a nominal figureIn 1879 , however , the great value of such franchises was becoming evi dent. With true corporate foresight and strategy , therefore the two then existing companies the Citizens and the Tort Wayne though their grants had only half run out , got from a pliant administration exten sions of those grants for thirty joars from that date. As time went on not only was Uio service unsatisfactory , but the condi tions of the employes were rspeclally op pressive Finally , In 1891 , the employes organized a strike. In which , after serious rioting and the demonstration of strong pop ular feeling against the Citizens company , the men were successful. About that time Major Plngree was rising Into prominence , and soon after caused a suit to bo Instituted against that company , attacking the validity of Its extension granted In 1S79. This suit the company succeeded In having transferred to the United States courts , where a decision favorable to the city | j In the lower court was reversed on appeal and the rights of the company thus established until 1008 Instead of 1894 The company , having In the meantime passed Into now hands , was , nevertheless , anxious for a further extension as an alleged uec essary basis for electrical equipment. Al though their grant permitted a straight 5- cent fare , jet It had been the habit of the company to glvo six tickets for 25 cento and eight tickets for 25 cents for one and n quarter hours , morning and night This , however , did not satlsfj Major Pingree , anil ho Insisted as the one condition for the extension asked for upon eight tickets for 25 cents COMPHTITION AND LOW TARES Many propositions were made by the com panies for other terms , but the mayor's veto supported by a majority of the council , prevented - vented their acceptance Flnallj , In 1S94 , when further negotiations had become hope less. Major Plngreo Induced some outside capitalists to come In and build a new sja- tem , under a thlrtj-year franchise requiring 3-cont fares or at the rate of eight tickets for 25 cents from 5.45 a. m. to 8 p m , and 4-cent fares or at the rate of six tickets for 25 cents for the balance of the twenty- four hours. The new sjetem was , of couise obliged to taKe the less frequented streets but H Immediately became very popular This change of situation proved sulflclen to Induce both the old companies , withou any c\tenslon of their franchises , to pu In electrical equipment and bring their s < > rv ice up to a lilqh standard , and a little later they began to give eight tickets for 25 cents for the entire twenty-four hours The city w0s provided thus with two actually competing systems , both giving low fares Suddenly , however , about a jear ago , a rude change came over the scene. No even in nun in-hurt nfrnlrn hntlpr Illustrates the Inadequacy , not to say futility , of competi tion as a method of defense against corpo rate extortion In American cities , nothing obtrudes a more cynical Interrogation point before our prevalent policy or hope of satisfactorily "controlling" our municipal monopolies ; nothing has moro exasperatIngly / Ingly snapped its fingers In the face of the accepted theory of "regulation" than this sudden change of scene. The change was simply this : The new company and the chief one of the old companies I. e. , the Citizens' had decided to compete no longer , had Instead virtually consolidated and had at once put Into operation a plan for diverting traffic from the 3-ceut to the 4- cent lines by crippling the service ot the former. The dervlco on the 3-cent system was suddenly cut down one-half , the two most Important competing routes belt llnei < being entirely discontinued. , Popular Indignation and dismay were fo cused by Mayor Pingreo In a spirited mes sage to the council , and on the basis of a special clause In the grant to the 3-cent company , empowering the council to pass "reasonable" regulations for the operation of the eyatcm , an ordinance was passed re quiring the company to restore the two belt routes , and also to observe a specified time schedule on all Its lines. The belt routes were accordingly restored In a modified way ard other changes made , falling d'st'nctly short , however , of the original service. About the beginning of this year the consolidation took In the Tort Wayne company , thus bring ing the entire street railway service , with Its ISO miles of single track , Into one com- lj nation. RESULTS OP CONSOLIDATION. The results of this consolidation may be briefly summarized as follows : A reduction of from 10 to 20 per cent In the combined service of the three companies has been made , having taken place chiefly on the 3-cent lines While the speed has been In creased on several routes , tba number of motormea and conductors lias been re duced during the last year from 1,037 to 910. The power house of one of the companies has been silenced and that ot ono ot the others Is used only for extra needs. The three companies mow have the same superintendent and general manager , the same set of officers and the sime corps of officials , though preserving throe kinds ot stationery. The care of all the- companies are being painted alike , the name of the proprietor company being omitted and the routes Indicated by the name of the principal street traversed ( The distinction between the different lines Is be > lng thus , as far as possible , obliterated. Several things arc to he said respecting this consolidation. (1) ( ) u has effected a natural and In Itself absolutely commend- ahlo economy In administration. The waste In human labor from needlessly maintain ing three power plants Instead of one or two , and thre-e sets of officers and officials Instead of ono Is Indisputable , and other things being equal , U not a breach ot true social economy. (2) ( ) This saving , brought about by discontinuing duplicate crews In power house and olllce , should have led , not to the unmerited discharge of the men thus displaced , but to a general shortening of hours to correspond (3) ( ) Instead , however , of making their monopoly and the economy effected by consolidation a means of Im proving the conditions of all labor con cerned , and of Increasing "the service , the companies put this saving entirely Into their own pockets , and then proceeded to add thereto by demanding higher speed from many of the nun for the same pay , and by clipping the service (4) ( ) This re duction of cervlce was an unmixed Injustlca to the employes dldplaeed and to thu public thus deprived of accommodation to which they were entitled. (5) ( ) Still , aside from the crowding of cars nights and morulngu and on Sundays which seems to be an uc-1 1 ceptcd American mannerism the service , ac. cording to GUI rent utamlarda , Is ot a high order , and fares are lower than In any othur American city. Probably 40 per cent of the cm lie bu lne > a Is done on a 3-cent 'are ' eight tickets for 25 centi , and the Mt Is on a 4-ccnt fare six tickets for S.5 cents , LOW PARES VS. COMPENSATION There Ii a distinct sentiment In Detroit igalnst the Idea of selling public frnncliljc.i .o the highest bidder , cither for a lump sum or for a percentage of the press re ceipts It Is contended that the people should not bo compelled thus to pay a "pedal lonus or tax for the privilege of riding In cars over their own streets which were ab- lolutoly theirs to start with , but that Instead .ho fare should bo that much reduced Two oK-mayors of the city expressed this senti ment to mo very emphatically. Ono of .hose. Governor Plngree , would be In favor of relieving the companies not only from all payment for the use of the streets and all licenses for cars , but also from all taxes , except upon their power"1 hpuses and other such real estate Hla reasdfj Is that since all such pajmdils mustfvitMniately bo col lected by the companies from their patrons this amounts to per capita taxation laid upon the mass of the people , clpicUilly the vvige- earncrs , Instead of taxation' upon property according to Its amount.1 lit1 would Instead compel the companies tb vut down their fares and Increase their , sfr.vlce tn correspond spend with these exemptlqna 1 It was In con formity with this policy thaU the franchises to the .1-ctnt company required no payment from gross receipts Into thl ) city treasury , no license fee for cars Tinil.'iio paving ex cept the repair of injuries ( lone to paving In constructing or repairing the tracks. The theorj In regard to paving was that since hors 8 have been discarded ! tlio cars should bo chaigcd with no wear upon It. The question of municipal ownership of the tracks ns a matter of principle was submitted about four years ago to a pop ular vote of the city nnd carried three to ono In a limited vote. This sentiment has not changed and would bo found strong oven amoving business men If the question wera up Few of these , however , would. In- dorio the Idea of municipal operation ; they would prefer leasing the lines. Among the people at large , however. It la alleged by a man qualified to speak of wage- earners' sentiments that the policy of both public ownership and operation would carrj In a popular vote. As to the prospects of realizing the main Issue of this long street car struggle viz. 3-cent fares on all lines , there Is a dis tinct feeling of anxiety due , perhaps , chltilly to the withdrawal ot Mayor Plngrco from leadership In the administration. Pub lic sentiment overwhelmingly demands the low fare , and the new major , though sup ported In his campaign by the corporation people- , declared In favor of municipal own ership of the tracks , and , that falling , 3-cent fares , with only flftecn-jear fran chises. RIVAL TELEPHONE SYSTEMS Until two years ago the Hell company had e. n.onopoly of telephone business In the city , and charged according to distance , from $72 to $150 for business connections , and from $50 to $125 for residences In April , 189C , however , a thirty-year franchise was granted to the Detroit Telephone com pany , using certain special patents , and It now claims as many local subscribers as the old compauj It Is also establishing toll lines with exchanges at numerous other polnta In the state , and Is proposing In ad dition to connections with Independent com panies at such cities as Toledo , 0 , and Fort Wajnu and Lafayette , Ind. , to make the telephone populai through the rural counties of Michigan , and accessible even to manj Individual farmers The rates of the new company In Detroit are $40 per jear for business and $25 for residence connections. yrii \ \ < a : rvMii.Y insroiiv.

The most Important election that will bo icld In the coming November Ii the ono that will tnko place In New York , where the first major of the Greater New York Is o bo selected It h not often that immlcl- nl contest overshadows state elections In general Interest but there are several rea sons why It Is so In this case To begin with the Greater New York election will decide : ho government for the next four jcars of a community with a population greater than that of the thirteen colonies nt the tltno of the federation , greated than that of anyone ono among forty of the forty-five elates In the union at the prcaenl time It will dc- cldo who Is to Inn die the $50,000,000 Income of the metropolis an Income greater than that raised for state ourposcs by the wealth iest states , and who Is to disburse the mil lions which the city must spend annually Tor Its own maintenance. It Is of supreme Interest to the politician" , because It means hundreds of Important positions to bo filled am ? an Immense amount of patronage to bed d str billed more than accompinlea any elec tive oinco in this country , scarcely excepting the presidency Itself. Finally It Is of vast Interest to students of politics and thoughtful - ful persons everywhere , because It \ * the first attempt to conduct an urban area so vast and a city population so great under ft strongly ccntnllzcd government , such ns to prov lde < I by thu Now York cfiarter. This 1" a statement that will probably surprise many people. "How about London ? " they say. True , London exceeds New York In area by 325 square mllro and In popula tion by a million and a half , but Its form of government 1s fundamentally different from that provided for New York. It Is somewhat remarkable- that In city govern ment , In contrast with the general adminis tration , the plan cf strong- centralization has been followed lit thlo country , whllo In England the federative principle has been observed. London \a \ a composite of same ninety villages and the autonomy possessed by tlicfio scparato towns Is preserved so far E.I possible In the boroughs at the- present time It 1 only In the department * of police , eewers , eHc. . where central control ij almost onjentlal , that the administration of London has passed out of the hands of the local boroughs THE MAYOR THE PIVOT. In New York the nnyor Is to bo the pivot about which the entire cltj administration will move. Ho will receive a salarj of $15,000 , which Is extremelj laigo for an elective ofllce In the United States iXmong the duties spe cifically Imposed upon him by the chnrttr is the appointment of some tntrtj-sK heads of departments who will control the police , the public vvorkn , the- docks , nnd every bourco of the city's revenue and power. Ho will also appoint the magistrates who will direct the administration of justice. It will bo hla duty to nil neirlj 250 official positions earning total salaries of above half a million. Ho will bo the head of a vast armj of city emplojes , numbering something like 15,000 men , 01 more than compelled Coruwallls to surrender at Yorktown and put an end to the revolu tion On the legislative side the mayor will have a strong check on the acts of the cltj coun cil by hla veto , which can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote of the municipal as sembly In any case- Involving "the creating of a debt , lajinR of an a'secsmcnt. or grantIng - Ing a franchl-e , a five-sK'hs vote shall be re- qul'ed , " to iet aside thi veto. Thus the major Is given practioallj the power to control these important matters All acts ot the legislature relatl'ig to the city will also come to the major for his consideration , so that he has a wide latitude In legislative as well as execu tive functions As the clnrter was at first drawn oven greater power and re'ponslbllity was placed In the mayor's hands Ho was to be al lowed to remove at anj time and without giving cause anj head of a department The object of this arrangement was , EU Mr. Do Witt of the charter commission expressed It , that there might be onlj ono head for the people to hit In case ot corrupt or Inefficient administration. This power of removal , by an amendment of the legislature , Is now re stricted to the first six months of the mayor's term. The mayor of New York will oe a more powerful official than the head of any other great modern city. Hia control of a region containing a population greater than most states , and one-twelfth of the total wealth of the union will be more complete for the four years of his term than that of any other man holding ofllce under a popular govern ment. But at the end of that time ho must glvo up his sway and become a private cltl- zen for the next four years at least. Under the provisions of the charter 110 man can hold the position of mayor for two terms In eucce-slon. In spite of the far-reaching powers which It grants the plan of government adopted for Greater New York Is distinctly an Ameri can system designed to meet the needs and experience of popular government and uni versal suffrage To show how the scheme differs from that In force In other countries it h only necessary to compare the position of mayor of New York with the same posi tion In the great European cities LONDON , PAUIS AND BERLIN. The mayor of Greater New York will have a great d ° al of power , but very little show attached to his ofllce. Ills quarters will be unpretentious , and be will have to live In his own house , which may conceivably bo a rented one. Ho will have a great deal of hard woik to do , and will come In for a good deal of harsh criticism If ho carries out tht provision of the charter , which dliecta him to exercise a careful supervision of all the city departments ho will bo able to Pud work for at least twenty-four hours a day , and It will be exceedingly desirable for hliu to possess Julius Caesar's ability to do seven different things at once. In all these re spects his position will be dlftcient from that of lord mayor of London The latter dignitary will compare to the mayor ot New York us a. peacock does to a hardworking barnyard fowl There la probably no position that carried greater opportunities for dluplaj or that Is moro desired by the ambitious aub-royalty of London than that of lord mayor. Hut the place , while Impressive in lln pomp and dignity , carries little real power. The lord mayor Is elected by the Board of Aldermen , who hold their positions for life , and ho must be one of their own number , who has held the office of sheriff. lie lives In the splendid mansion house , drives gorgeous cqulpagca , gives stately dinners - ners and weais wonderful robes of office He Is a sort of personal Incarnation of the city's prldo and greatness He la a striking figurehead and that Is all he l expected to be Hlti olllc al duties are summed up thus- "Ho U lord lieutenant within the city , thu dispenser of Its hospitality , the chairman of the courts of the corpoiatlon , and he holds certain other offices , the dignity of which Is now almost nominal.

The chief was sitting In hla office the olhcr afternoon , relates the Knoxvlllo Tribune , busily winding up the affairs of the week , when ho heard a light but film footstep In his hallway In an Instant there was n Knock at his door. In rcsponso to a "come In" from the chief , a woman entered She was nicely dressed In A traveling costume and looked to bo less than 30 , although n few silvern hairs were to be seen Her oycs were black and piercing Her countenance , though seemingly- saddened by sorrow , was firm and resolute. As she entered the chief , arose , and of fered her a chair , Hefore sitting down she Introduced herself to him , Krid at the sumo time from under the lapel of her jacl.et showed the badge of her authority. It was ii dainty golden badge , nnd bore the name of the wearer and that of one of the oldest and most competent detective agencies In the ( country. In addition to thu badge the woman presented hur credentials In writing. The captain was taken nomcvvhat by sur prise. In all the many years of his official career no other woman olllecr had over called on htm , with the exception ot Mrs. Wright , the police matron. "Of course , you will want to know my business 1 , " began the lady detective as she again i concealed her badge "I am hunting a husband. " u\t this the captain was forced to smile , and whllo ho realized ho was a grandfather and i could not accommodate her , ho thought of i some of the handsome young men on thu force. : Ho was In the act of touching the button l to call ono of them In when the woman , whoso face had become crimson , put In I : "You don't understand what I mean I am , hunting another woman's husband Ho ran away nnd deserted her and I have been on his track for over two weeks. " This was a gray horse ot another color The captain was now ready to talk business The fair detective produced a "printed de scription of the fugitive , together with his picture and an offer of a reward for his ap- prehension. Ho had not only been guilty of leaving his wife , but had taken with him qulto a sum of money that belonged to her , a diamond ring and a pair of diamond oar- Ings "Io you think your man has ever been In Cnoxvlllo ? " asked the chief. "I know he has , " quickly replied the non-hunter. "I know the . npsumed mine mdcr which ho Is traveling , nnd I have ound that name on ono of yom hotel regls- ors I located the diamond ring In a Cin cinnati pawn shop ns I came through , and f luck Is with me I will locate him before niny more days " Captain Jack assured her of his slnccio lope that she would , and at the same time offered her his services and that of his men o aid her In any way that they might be able "This is the hardest case I have over 1111- lertnken , " continued the woman-officer "I isually work In laige cities and most of my imo Is taken up with running down female shoplifters and confidence w onion 1 have been 'on the force' for over five years , so you see I am entitled to a gold strlpo on my sleeve.

Finally the ono still icraaln'ni ' ; showed a leaf , softened by summer rains and expanded by the sun , and with a g'eat deal of care It was nursed to a sturdy life. U grew very slowly and has not grown moio ban two feet in height since It was planted. It Is now about four feet hlj.li , with o tiunk Ifteen Inches In diameter. The roots had a tendency to droop , and It was found neces sary to prop them up with a trellis Instead of ' growing vertically they have extended horizontally In long , slender aims. There are about twenty of these , radiating in all direc tions. Each year , as they glow longer , addi tional props were put underneath and they have extended along the trellis Hat , straight as a ceiling , with little sleudor shoots run ning at right angles and Intertwining with ono another so closely that they afford BOIIIO protection from the lain to one who may stand underneath. The top is clrcu'ar In form and about fifty feet In diameter. The tree bas berne fruit about twenty yeais , and Is now covered with little green apples. Tun fruit Is of good quality , but the variety Is not known by Mrs. Adolph.
