Hobson’s Own Story.
He Relates in the “Century” the Scheme and
Preparations for Sinking the Merrimac.
Lieut. Richmond Pearson Hobson is
writing for the Century Magazine his story
of “The Sinking of the Merrimaec.”” His
first paper appears in the December num-
ber, and is devoted to ‘‘The Scheme and the
Preparations.’”’ Lieut. Hobson says, after
telling of the decision to sink the Merri-
mac in the harbor entrance:
Various plans were considered. That of
feigning a chase suggested itself from the
fact that Spanish colliers were supposed to
be on their way to Santiago. One had re-
cently been captured by the St. Paul, and
from her it was learned that others were
soon expected. By this method the Merri-
mac would approach by night from the
eastward; when about five miles away she
would be discovered by blockading vessels,
searchlights would be thrown toward her,
and fire opened, care being taken to fire
wide and throw the lights in front and on
the sides, to show the splash of striking
projectiles.
The Merrimac upon discovery, would
bear in toward the shore to within about
2,000 yards, apparently to seek the shelter
of batteries; she would throw pitch on the
fires to make heavy black smoke, as if fore-
ing to the utmost. She would head in to-
ward the entrance and turn full down the
course for entering the channel, blowing
her whistle in blasts as of fright and dis-
tress. The searchlight would flash across
and show a Spanish flag at her peak. On
approaching, the light would be thrown on
the entrance to facilitate her navigation,
but carefully avoiding resting upon her.
The shore batteries opening on the chasing
vessels would be replied to and kept di-
verted. If they opened on the Merrimac,
search-lights would be thrown in the gun-
ners’ faces.
However, an examination of the chart
showed the difficulties of navigation to be
so great that no sane captain would at-
tempt to take in a collier at night or under
circumstances that did not admit of the ut-
most deliberation. It was known that
tugs were used by single-sciew vessels of
any size on account of the turn in the chan-
nel abreast Estrella Point. The chances
seemed to be against the enemy’s being de-
ceived, and navigation depending upon
search-lights would entail chances of fail-
ure.
This plan, and various other plans in-
volving the co-operation of the fleet, were
discarded in favor of the simpler plan of
going alone by moonlight, just before the
moon should set. Surprise, under any con-
dition, could he only partial at best, since
a certain amount of light was absolutely
necessary for navigation. The conditions
for surprise would be more favorable to-
ward daybreak. Moreover, a flood-tide
must be chosen, so that, in case of break-
ing the anchor-gear, the vessel would set
into the channel and have ample time for
sinking before the ebb could tend to throw
her out, while chances of being carried by
. the tide through the whole length of the
narrrow channel into the inner harbor
seemed improbable. The ‘‘establishment
of the port,”” or time of high tide, was
about eight hours and.a quarter, so that
the tide would be running strong flood as
the moon set. The moon was then ap-
proaching full, and calculations showed
that it would set at Santiago about 3:30 on
Thursday, June 2nd. We were speeding
at about 13 knots—the Oregon had demon-
strated her ability to maintain that speed
—and we would therefore arrive off San-
tiago early Wednesday morning and have
most of the day and night of Wednesday
for preparations. Thursday was therefore
set for entering, though the admiral ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be found
impossible to complete the preparations in
time. The special advantage of Thursday
was that there would he an interval of
darkness of about an hour and a quarter
between the time of moonset and daybreak
while on Friday this interval would be re-
duced to about half an hour, and on Satur-
day day would break before moonset. It
will be understood that an interval of dark-
ness, though short might he found of an
advantage for completing the work or for
making escape.
Preparations were therefore begun at
once, the greatest amount of detail being
required for the process of sinking.
I asked Capt. Miller about the ensign of
the Merrimac. He said that he had al-
ready considered the matter, but had found
that the strippers had taken off the ensign
and the contents of the signal-chest, and
even the signal-halyards. In fact, the men
had been so keen for relics and souvenirs
that nothing seemed to have escaped. He
said that he had, however, an enormous
flag, blue field, or background, with
“Maine’’ across it in large letters, which
he proposed to have bent on. But I was
particularly anxious fora large national
flag, and put down on the list of items for
the execntive officer to get us on the New
York. I was a little afraid they would
not let us have the flag, so I asked the ex-
ecutive officer not to say anything about it
to the captain until we were gone, and told
him we would not hoist it while running
in, or while doing so could in any way af-
fect the success of the effort, but that I did
wish very much to hoist it after firing tor-
pedoes, as the vessel sank. The executive
officer was not convinced, and his instict of
the risk involved was true; for though the
captain let me have the flag without ask-
ing any questions, and it was bent on the
halyards at the bridge ready for hoisting,
it was never hoisted, for after the work
was done, and the Merrimac was sinking,
and a strong impulse set in to have the flag
flying, it was clear, lying at the muzzles of
the enemy’s guns, that any movement to
hoist it would betray our position and cost
the life of all. Responsibility for the group
forbade the attempt.
Capt. Charles D. Sigsbee continues his
‘‘Personal Narrative of the Maine,” begun
in the November number, dealing espec-
ially with the explosion, regarding which
he says:
‘“The question has been asked many
times if I believed that the Maine was
blown up from the outside. My answer to
this has been that my first order on reach-
ing deck was to post sentries about the
ship. I knew that the Maine had been
blown up and believed that she had been
blown up from the outside. Therefore I
ordered a measure which was intended to
guard against attack. There was no need
for the order, but I am writing of first im-
pressions. There was the sound of many
voices from the shore, suggestive of
cheers.”
When the explosion occurred, Capt. Sigs-
bee was in his cabin, and he says:
‘I groped my way through the cabin in-
to the passage and along the passage to the
outer door. The passage turned to the
right or starboard, near the forward part of
the superstructure. When the turn was
reached some one ran into me violently.
It was private William Anthony, the or-
derly at the cabin door. He said some-
thing apologetic and reported that the ship
had been blown up and was sinking. He
was directed to go out on the quarter deck,
and I followed him. Anthony had been
pictured as making an exceedingly formal
salute on that occasion. The dramatic ef-
fect of a salute cannot add to his heroism.
If he had made a salute it could not have
been seen in the blackness of that compart-
ment. Anthony did his whole duty, at
great personal risk, at a time when he
might have evaded the danger without
question, and deserved all the commenda-
tion he received for his act. He hung near
me with unflagging zeal and watchfulness
that night until the ship was abandoned.”
In speaking of the scene following the
explosion, Capt. Sigsbee says:
‘It was a hard blow to be obliged to
leave the Maine; none of us desired to
leave while any part of her poop remained
above water. We waited until satisfied
that she was resting on the bottom of the
harbor. Lieut.-Com. Wainwright then
whispered to me that he thought that the
forward 10-inch magazine had been thrown
up into the burning material amidships
and might explode at any time with furth-
er disastrous effects. He was then di-
rected to get everybody into the boats,
which was done. It is a fact that I was
the last to leave, which was only proper;
that is to say, it would have heen improper
otherwise; but virtually all left last. The
fine conduct of those who came under my
observation that night was conspicuous and
touching. The heroism of the wounded
men I did not see at the time but after-
ward good reports of their behavior were
very common. The patient way in which
they bore themselves left no doubt that
they added new honors to the service when
the Maine went down.”
The Carpenter Bird.
These Industrious Little Fellows Fly Many Miles to
Secure Their Stores.
Down in Mexico there livesa wocd-peck-
er who stores his nuts and acorns in the
hollow stalks of the yuccas and magueys.
These hollow stalks are separated by the
joints into several cavities, and the saga-
cious bird has somehow found this out,
and bores a hole at the upper end of each
joint and another at the lower, through
which he extracts acorns when wanted.
Then it fills up the stalks solidly and leaves
its stores there until needed, safe from the
depredations of any thievish bird or four
footed animal.
The first place in which this curious hab-
it was observed was on a hill in the midst
of a desert. The hill was covered with
yuccas and magueys, but the nearest oak
trees were thirty miles away, and so it was
calculated, these industrious birds had to
make a flight of sixty miles for each acorn
stowed thus in the stalks !
An observer of birds remarks: ‘‘There
are several strange features to be noticed in
these facts: the provident instinct which
prompts this bird to lay by stores of pro-
visions for the winter, the great distance
traversed to collect a kind of food so unus-
ual for its race, and its seeking in a place
so remote from its natural abode a store-
house so remarkable.”
Can instinct alone teach, or have experi-
ence and reason taught these birds that, far
better than the bark of trees or crevices in
rocks or any other hiding place are these
hidden cavities they make for themselves
with the hollow stems of distant plants?
This we cannot answer. But we do
know that one of the most remarkable
birds in our country is this California
woodpecker, and that he is well entitled
to his Mexican name of el carpintero—the
carpenter bird.— Exchange.
——The gentleman who had rung the
bell several times before the servant let
him in was looking surprised and a trifle
apprehensive when Mrs. Blydins came into
the room.
‘I called,” he said, ‘‘to inquire about
your husband’s health. He and I belong
to the same organization, and several of
the members desired me to call and see
how he is getting along. We were very
sorry to hear of his illness.”’
“It’s very kind of you,’’ she answered.
There was a crash which shook the chan-
delier.
She paid no attention to it.
*‘I think it will be only a day or two be-
fore he 18 able to get out and go down
town,’’ she added.
The slamming of doors echoed heavily
through the house.
‘‘Has he been dangerously sick ?’’
‘Not until to-day.”
‘‘But I understand you to say that he
was convalescent.’’
“I think I may say that he is so. He
wasn’t well enough to be dangerous till
this morning. But before noon he had
discharged the trained nurse, quarreled
with the cook, smashed a rocking chair
against which he stubbed his toe and
thrown the canary bird out of the window,
Those are always hopeful symptoms with
him, and I feel fairly justified in saying
that he is convalescent.’ — Washington

An Imperial Commonwealth.
Pennsylvania is one of the Imperial
commonwealths of the world, first of all the
American States in mineral production,
second in population and manufacturing,
with industries worth over a billion dol-
lars, with wealth exceeding five billions,
larger and richer than some of the king-
dows of the earth. In many respects the
‘best formed of all the States, she is a true
representative in prosperity, progress and
success of the Nation to which she belongs.
While the strawberries are blossoming on
her Maryland border she can cut ice along
her New York boundary, and her commerce
goes in one direction over the oceans of the
world, and in the other through the Great
Lakes across almost half of the American
continent.— Baltimore American.
Must Pay Their Own Expenses.
A decision of the McKean county courts,
that the commissioners must refund the
$3.50 per day that each received for ex-
penses while attending the state conven-
tion, as well as other moneys paid them
for railroad fare and hotel bills while away
from the county seat on official business,
will have a far-reaching effect. The court
stated that the law does not provide for
such expenses.

——Wire nails have very nearly super-
ceded the cut variety, and in their manu-
facture the United States takes the lead,
exporting them to almost every country in
the world. During the five years from
1891 to 1897 the production of cut nails fell
from 450,000,000 pounds to 210,000,000;
during the same period the production of
wire nails rose from 471,000,000 to nearly
900,000,000 pounds. The price of nails in
the meantime has been reduced from ten
cents per pound in 1888 to two cents
and under in 1898. :
———The recent report of J. Sterling Mor-
ton, of Nebraska, against the cutting of
Christmas trees is warmly commended in
the west. In his protest he said: ‘“The
trees selected for slaughter on this anniver-
sary are always the straightest and most
symmetrical. Last year more than twenty
millions of Christmas trees were cut down
and put on the market. The absurdity of
celebrating the birth of the Saviour of the
world by a wanton waste and extravagance
which jeopardize the welfare of millions of
human beings yet unborn is obvious to
every thinking man.”

Fast Mail Trains.
The new fast mail train established on the Chi-
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad for the pur-
pose of shortening the mail time between New
York and San Francisco, made its initial run out
of Chicago on January 2nd. The average schedule
speed of this train is 55 miles an hour, excluding
stops, and frequently 70 miles an hour is made.
The 560 miles between Chicago and Council Bluffs
will be covered every day in ten and a half hours.
The fast mail service on this line was inaugurated
in 1884, and the Burlington has held the govern-
ment contract ever since. Hereafter two Bur-
lington trains will leave Chicago daily, devoted
exclusively to United States mail, the increased
service being necessary on occount of our new
interests in the Pacific.

Life Was Ebbing Away While in the Mountains.—A Woman Was Res-

The Novel Method
Used to Save Her.
From the Press,
Miss Lola Noble, of 416 East Maine Street, Ot-
tumwa, Iowa, daughter of Mr. E. M. Noble, the
shirt manufacturer, has accomplished a work
which will not only benefit her, but undoubtedly
be of service to many others. It was a praise-
worthy undertaking; one which she may feel
proud of and amply repaid for her indefatigable
efforts.
A reporter of the Press hearing of‘her success-
ful achievement sought an interview with her.
Miss Noble seemed cheerful, hopeful and in the
best of health, Apparently she had not suffered
any ill effects from her efforts which were report-
ed to have done much good.
About two years ago she accompanied her par-
ents to the west, and resided among the mount-
ains for several months. This was done in the
hopes that her health might be improved, as she
was suftering from anemia. Instead of the
change of climate benefiting her, she rapidly be-
came worse and her parents hastily returned east
with her.
Reputable physicians were summoned and ex-
ercised their skill, but it was of no avail. Her
condition became worse and her face assumed a
ghost-like appearance. She was wasting away for
want of blood, and what little she did have, was
watery and in a depraved state. Any slight exer-
tion caused excessive fatigue, and palpitation of
the heart. She had no appetite and the daintiest

and richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves.
They had learned of cases similar to hers which
had been cured. The pills, they said were inex-
pensive, only costing 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50, and could be had at any druggists.
Miss Noble was reluctant to try them, for it
seemed as if all possible remedies had been tried
and the expense had been considerable, without
being benefited. Her friends were so enthusias-
tic regarding the good qualities of the pills, that
she finally decided to try a box, and purchased
one from E. M. B. Scott's drug store.
A decided improvement was noticeable after
the pills had been taken and she purchased some
more. The change in her condition was so great
that after taking four boxes of the remedy, she
considered herself well, and stopped taking the
medicine. But her severc sickness could not be
cured so soon and she was obliged to commence
taking the pills again. After using a few more
boxes, all traces of her fearful disease had disap-
peared. To-day she is the picture of health, her
complexion being that of an ideally healthy
young lady, and she is as active as in her vounger
days.
Her father was so much impressed with the
