THE OMAHA DAILY JOKKi SUNDAY. MAY 15. WHAT WE TIGHT TOR. Prize Money and Gold Lace as Well n Fame nnd Honor Awaiting Ambitious Soldiers and Sailors. By P. K. SCRIBNBR. In mllltftrjr service throughout the world , both upon Inmt nnd water , there Is n wide distinction between the different ranks held by the officers. Usually the rank of n military or naval roun Is obtained by long service or by appointment by congress or the president. Sometimes , however , rank Is given to an officer because ho has been bravo during a battle or has done something which attracts the attention of his superiors. In order to distinguish nn officer from a , common soldier the government has adopted various marks of rank , which are worn by the officers , both In tlmo of war and pence ; during the former these signs nro less con spicuous , for , during a battle , the sharp shooters always try to pick off the officers , BO that the soldiers will have no one to com mand them. If any of the boys who read this article should , In time of pence , go aboard a man- of-war or In a gathering of naval officers , he would notice a fjrcnt amount of gold lace upon their uniforms and see the Insignia of rank upon their shoulders. Dut In war tlmo each officer puts away his gaudy uniform. Instead of the shoulder straps the mark of their devices of rank upon their sleeve. A general may nlso bo distinguished by the arrangement of the buttons on his coat. One of the jokes credited to General Grant was about the buttons on Ills coat. A major general wears two rows of buttons , nine In each row , and each row divided Into groups of three. One day Grant was clad In n military coat much the worse for wear and from which all but three buttons had been torn. An officer brought him word that ho had Just been promoted to the rank of major general , I "Well , " sold Grant , pointing to the group of three buttons , "you see I have rtntlclpa- tcd the order nnd have my major general's uniform. " . 1'rlso Money. Desldcs the chance which a soldier or sailor has of becoming an officer and wearIng - Ing an Insignia of rank , there Is another thing which he works for during war times , but this Is confined principally to tha navy ; It Is the matter of prize money. It Is tha rule of the United States navy that when the crew of a vessel captures another ship the prlzo Is to be sold nnd n part of the proceeds divided among tha officers and MARKS OP RANK OP THE NAVY. rank Is worn upon the collar of the coat , as shown In the Illustration. An admiral , the highest officer In the navy , wears four silver Etars and two anchors upon his shoulder straps or collar. A vice admiral , three stars nnd one anchor ; a rear admiral , an anchor with a star on cither side ; a commodore , a star with an anchor on either side ; a cap tain , a Oliver caglo nnd two anchors , and n lieutenant , an anchor with two silver bars on each side. There arc also many petty or non-commissioned officers who wear the In signia of their rank on their sleeve , above the elbow. The higher officers nlso wear gold bands upon their sleeves , run ning about the wrists. The shoulder straps arc four and one-fourth Inches long by ono and ono-half Inches wldo ; they are made of dark blue cloth , with a border of dead gold a quarter of an Inch wide , the device being embroidered Inside the border. The lowest commissioned officer Jn the navy Is an ensign ; he wears a single silver anchor on his shoulder strap. It Is the ambition of each ensign to change his straps' for those of n lieutenant ; there wcro many cases during our last war when an ensign showed' great bravery during a battle and Ills name was sentxto Washington with a recommendation from his commander that ho bo promoted. Often an ensign was sent on a dangerous mission and got his lieu tenant's straps In that way. Usually , how ever , he has to wait until conic officer above him Is promoted , or dies , or retires , and then ho moves up In rank. Strnim mid Stnro. Every sailor and soldier knows that. In time of war , his superiors are watching biro , and that If ho shows himself a bravo man ho'standa a good chance of being pro moted. It Is a matter of great pride to ndd an extra bar to his shoulder straps , or to have ono of the many Inslgnlas of rank put on his uniform. There Is , be sides , the honor of being an officer , better pay with each additional raise In rank , moro comfortable quarters and more personal lib erty. All these things make the soldiers nnd sailors moro ambitious to gain promo tion. In the army the Insignia of rank Is some * what similar to that of the navy , but oven In active service an army officer still wears bis shoulder straps. The general Is the highest officer of the army , nnd his rank Is shown by nn cnglo with a star on each side. A lieutenant general wears three stars on his shoulder straps ; n major gen eral two , a brigadier general one , n colonel a silver cngle , a lieutenant colonel two sil ver leaves , a major two gold loavrs , n cap tain four silver bars nnd a lieutenant two bars.

If the captured ship was equal In fighting strength to the captor all the prlzo money goes to the victors , but If the prize was weaker half goes to the government nnd the remaining half Is divided among the crew and officers. In such a division the commissioned of ficers como In for the larger share , so It Is well to bo as high an officer as possible. The commander of n fleet receives one- twentieth of all the prlzo money awarded to any ship In his command. The captain of a single vessel receives one-tenth of the money awarded to his vessel , but gets noth ing from the prizes of nny of the other ships of the fleet to which ho belongs. The remaining officers nnd members of the crew of the vessel which has made the capture receive prlzo money In accordance with their rank and pay. The lower n man Is In the navy the less prlzo money he cets. A com mon sailor may get $200 as his share , where , If ho was n lieutenant , ho might receive twlco that sum. or Toiyuno IIOATS. llcrola Deed * i-.tul Men Ilcciillcd by Some of Them. "What's In a nnmo ? " Well , It all depends. In a rose It may not be a matter of much Importance , but In a war ship , for example , the Inspiring effect of a name enriched by heroic associations adds a generous percent- -NT MAIIKS OP RANK OP THE AIIMY. ago to the efficiency of her crew. Tbo American navy Is coming to have many ot these Inspiring names. Take , for Instance , the boats xof , the torpedo fleet. They are likely to afford the greatest opportunities for the display of heroism and personal dar ing , and they present a galaxy of names revered by every Jackie In tha navy. Could a torpedo boat have a more ap propriate name than the Gushing , which commemorates the gallant union lieutenant who destroyed the Ironclad Albermarle at the risk of almost certain death , and whoso work was the forerunner of that which his steel namesake Is expected to do ? On board the lit le craft the name of Gushing Is held up as n constant source of emulation to the members of the crow , and a better motto than Is furnished by the bravo deed of that gallant sailor It would be Impossible for them to flnd. The Porter bears a name that fills the American tar with pride , and recalls the only sen fight that ever took place between the United States and Spain. . It was In 1800 thai Commodore David Porter , then only 26 years old , fought twelve Spanish gunboats with the single ship Enterprise and gave them more than they wanted. The cnga'ge- raent took place Just off Gibraltar , and al though the Enterprise made no captures her plucky commander emerged from the un equal contest with a whole skin and. nn un injured ship , n remarkable record under the circumstances. The Footo Is named for the brave and pious old admiral who first taught the celestials that there was a nation on this side of the world that knew how to fight. It was In 1806 , when the English and Chinese were at war , that the Chinese forts Qred on Footo's ships , which were there to protect American Interests. The dougty commander demanded nn In stant apology. When It was not forthcom ing be landed his men and led them ngalnst the four forts. Their seven-foot walla of granite were protected by many guns and contained 5,000 Chinese soldiers , but Foote captured them with 400 Americans and lost but forty men , against the enemy's loss of 400. 400.The The Dupont is named for the naval leader of the Mexican war and the Wlnslow for the commander of the famous old Kcar- sarge. The Rodgera commemorates one of the naval heroes of 1812. The Ericsson bears a name which revolutionized naval war fare , when Its owner built the Monitor and vent her egalust jtho much feared Merrlmac in Hampton Heads. Our newest torpedo boat , the one which was recently bought In England and which has not yet been brought to this side of the Atlantic , Is called the Soniers. TU _ .uamo ' p.t Commander Hlchord . Sonera It uot so 'familiar a th t ot Cuiti- { 'ing ' , yet it li connected with * a action M , glorious In its courage and more unfortu- 'nate In IU outcome thin that which mada Lieutenant Cuihlng famous. In the year 1804 , when the United States was fighting the Darbnry pirate * , Somcr * manned n fire ship loaded with gunpowder nnd combustibles and sailed her Into the mrbor of Tripoli at night to destroy the enemy's ships. Before he started on his perilous inlsslon ho said to his little crew of volunteers : "Let no man go with me who docs not > ref r death to surrender. " Not a man of .ho crew drew back. The ship and Its men floated silently away n the darkness , and their comrades waited eng nnd anxiously for some sign to tell of their fate. At last the enemy's batteries on shore began to fire , and n flickering Ight was seen In the direction which the flro ship had taken. In nn Instant It blazed ip'lnto a flash that lighted the -whole har- : or , and there was an explosion which rocked the American ship n mlle nway. Then the darkness settled down again. In the morning one of the enemy's ships had disappeared , and two others were dis abled , but Soracrs and his bold companions wcro never seen again. It Is believed that Somers blew up the magazine of his ship with his own hand and perished In order to accomplish his object. The battleships of the American navy nro named from different states of the union , except the Kearsarge , which continues n name made famous In the civil war by the encounter between the old Kcarsargo nnd he Alabama. The cruisers are named from various cities , nnd the monitors bear In- illnn or other historic names moro or Jess striking In sound and significance. MV K.VKillT , Hill CtJUI.Y 1II3AU.

A GloneoMter Sett Cnntnln'H Opinion of "CujitnliiN CoiiriiK iiiN. " When I was Introduced to the captain ho was seated In his little shop nnd sur rounded on all sides by toy vessels of various sizes the work of his own hands. A funny little man was the captain , with a fringe of gray whiskers around his face and \ > lth stubby fingers which amazed one by their dexterity with the needle. But ho was very hospitable and I was imme diately provided with a chair. The juvenile yachtsman , by whom I had been Introduced , wanted the captain to talk , as ho had not .only a- fund of Interesting stories and an inimitable way of telling them , but he had a knowledge and com mand of the English language that was re markable. Finally , after a pause , caused by the ex ertion of threading his needle , the captain waved his pipe In tbo direction of a square of paper fastened to the wall and said : "Perhaps you'd bo Interested to read that , miss. " I took It down and read the directions for a model ot-n fishing schooner very par ticular directions being given that every thing on deck should be perfect to the smallest detail. The one article that stands out in my memory is "gurry butts" there were a thousand other articles mentioned , but that alone remains to rise up and haunt , "gurry butts ! " Dut when I'nrrlved at the signature I ex claimed : "Why , It's Rudyard Kipling ! " which was a very absurd remark for mete to make , but I was excited. "Of course It Is , " answered the captain , as If I should have known it all along. "Of course it is. Those are the directions for a ship I was to have made for him so be could have it by him and he could refer to It when he was writing his story 'Captains Courageous. ' I had the rheumatism so bad I couldn't finish it , " he added. "How did you como to know him ? What did he look like ? What did he say ? How did ho talk ? " I asked. My questions didn't phase the captain in the slightest I found out afterward that he was married. "Why , I was here In the shop , tending to some young gentlemen about his size , " he said , waving his pipe In the direction of the Juvenile yachtsman , "when three gentlemen came down the walk a-laughlng. Well , they came and knocked at the door they didn't como right in , mind you ; they knocked aid when I says , 'Come in , gentlemen , ' one of them he wasn't Mr. Kipling says 'Why , wo can't come in till we know how you stand on the money question , ' he says. ' " 'Well , gentlemen , ' I says , 'I can't tell how I stand on "the maney question until I know what you want. ' Well , at that they all laughed , and the jolly ono that had done all the talking , said : "Well , I guess you'ro the man we want. " So in they came , and he Introduced me to Mr. Kipling and the other gentleman ; I never enw three Jollier gentlemen all the tlmo letting off jokes on each other , and now and then one on me. Well , finally they told mo what they came for , which was about myhiaking the boat "just like one I'd been on myself , " they said. I said I would it I could. And I tried good and hard , but I had the rheumatism EO bad I couldn't finish It. "What do jon what do nil the people of GlouctBter think of 'Captains Cour- rgcous ? ' " I asked. "Why , miss,1' said the captain , loaning back in his chair and waving his plpo eloquently , "the very first chapter of that story were taken and just dissected right here in Gloucester. And I will say this much , that It's fairly surprising how much bo docs know about tbo 'banks' and the life up there. " "But how did all the people like It ? " I persisted. "O" miss. It's n fine story" ( the captain had his own way of answering questions ; "a fine story , and every bit of It's true , and , as I said , the way be knows about the life and the ways of tbo fisherman is wonderful. It's a regujar picture of the way they do things on the 'banks. ' I know , because I've been there myself. But there's one fault , miss , nnd when I see Mr. Kipling again I'm going to jaw him about it he can stand jawing just as well as anybody he makes us talk like a lot of farmers , miss. Wo don't talk the way he makes us. , Wby , the captains of those schooners bavo to be well educated men and pasi nn examination before they can take command.

Uncle Jerry Rusk used to tell this storj- about Sheridan. When an Ohio congressman went to Phil's father to look over n boy for West Point , he was inclined to favor an other brother. The father said : "Don't take him. He , ls full of peace. Take Phil , he is full of fight * He fights all of the boys about here. " That settled It In the mind of the congressman. I wish they would prcct a monument to John Sheridan , who know which boy would give the world a Phil Sher idan to love and talk about. By the way , Phil's fighting and mischief nearly cost him n West Point commission. Ho was sent home for a year , ns it was. That is why it required flvo years from 1848 to 1853 to get him through the acad emy. Senator Vest has a favorite story which ho has told on the occasion of many a polit ical speech , but , so far as known , never on the floor of the United States senate. "A temperance lecturer was struggling against odds In Kentucky , " says the sena tor. "Ho was talking to a not very large audience that had been drawn to the hall by curiosity. 'The effect of alcohol is to shorten life , ' said the lecturer. "An old man at the rear of the hall reseat at that juncture and said , 'You'ro a liar. ' " 'Why ? ' inquired the advocate of Adam's ale. " 'Because , sir , I've been drinking for seventy-five years , and I'm 90 and am likely to live to bo 100. I am strong enough to lick you If you'll step outside. ' " 'Oh , no doubt , sir. You're nn exception , sir. If you keep on drinking' the lecturer paused. " 'What ? ' asked the Impatient old toper. " 'If ydu keep on drinking you'll have to bo shot on judgment day. ' " During his recent brief outing In the Vatican gardens , relatcc the London Chron icle , Leo XIII came across an assistant gar dener who was digging the soil. His holi ness is always anxious to study under Its practical aspect , the problem of Just remu neration for the workman , a subject on which in more Ann One encyclical be has developed broad-minded theories. "My good man , " bo said to the gardener , "how much do you irccelvo a day for your labor ? " "Two francs , your holiness , " was the re- Ply. Ply.The The pontiff mused nwhllc. "And how many 'Children have you ? " "None , your holiness. " . "And does your n wife also work for her livelihood ? " "Holy father , " .said the laborer , "I have never been marrleiUV Once more the pontiff paused in reflec tion. tion."Then "Then , my goodman , " he said , "I shall give Instructions Umt from henceforward , instead of 2 francs a day you will receive n franc and a half-and that half a franc will bo added to the wages of some other work man who has n - IUe und family to sup port. " Senator Mason was elected to the lower house in Mr. Reed's first term as speaker , and In vain did ho strive for recognition , Ono day a special bill was introduced for the relief of one of the speaker's constitu ents , relates the New York Sun. Unanimous consent was asked for Its consideration , but Mason objected. On successive mornings objection was offered , and , finally , Reed sent a friend to inquire why Mason opposed the measure , nnd Mason said : "I bavo been duly elected to congress , but the speaker evidently thinks otherwise. He will not recognize me and I can get the floor only by entering an objection to his bill. " Tbo friend returned to Reed and tbo fol lowing morning , when unanimous consent was asked , Mason again objected. During the day Reed saw Mason and , In great seriousness , never mentioning the bill , said : "Mr. Mason , I believe that If you were to rise and address the chair the chair would know who you are. " Mason replied : "Mr. Speaker , I have been giving that bill of yours n great deal of attention , as It Is a very Important one , nnd I have decided that It ought to pass. " The next morning unanimous consent was asked and given , nnd an expansive smile exchanged. As soon as the hill was passed 'Mason ' arose nnd addressed the chnlr , nnd the chair responded : "The gentleman from Illinois. " At a recent dinner In Boston a former citizen of Springfield , III. , told the following Lincoln story : ' . 'The fire hose company of Springfield was very proud of its well equipped flro apparatus , and , desiring to procure some extra supplies , subscription papers were sent around. The small boys , myself among the number , were given a share In the work. I went up to tome dusty rooms over a grocery nnd entered the law office of Lincoln. He asked me numberless questions , and I had to tell him all I knew of this fire brigade and Its members. Then he said : 'Well , I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go homo to supper Mrs. Lincoln Is gen erally good-natured after supper and then I'll tell her I've been thinking ot giving $50 to the brigade , and she'll say : "Abe , will you never have any sense ? Twenty dollars is quite enough. " So tomorrow , my boy , you como around and get your $20 , ' " SOME : 'LATE INVENTIONS.

A woman's headache usually comes from some menstrual derangement or weakness. It is a symptom of a serious disorder that should have prompt attention. If she will take Wine of Cardui , and secure painless and regular periods , she won't have much headache. When will women learn that they need not suffer from headache ? That those monthly pains in the back , sides and abdomen can be avoided ? A few doses of Wine of Cardui every month will insure freedom from this trouble. Two thousand women buy Wine of Cardui every day. And they get relief from taking it.
