In 1850 1 shipped "befere the mast" en
the A 1 first class clipper Wizard bound
freln New Yerk te San Francisce.
When I tnadeup my mind te become a
sailor, I had tried several of this world's
callings and seemed te find nene suitable.
I had asked counsel of several elderly
gentlemen in my nntive village as te the
best way of securing all things needful
during my sojourn in this world. They
said many wlse and geed things. They
looked wise and geed. But really tlie
wordy help thoy.eilcred was unsatisfac
tory. Se I cut the knot myself and said
I would be n sailor. I explained te my
male and female friends that I felt my
self destined for n maritime career. I
needed mero excitement than could be
get out of ashere humdrum llfe. The
sea was the placu for enterprising youth
ful Americans. The American merchant
marine needed American officers and
sailors. All heard me and agreed. Ne
doubt it was the best thing. And I
talked en and they agreed with all my
arguments. Hew peeple will ngree with
you when it's all ene te them what you
del I was eighteen and in most respects
a feel, including this that I did net
knew it.
The Wizard, en which I shipped with
five ether boys from mynitive town,
was a first class clipper. She was a fine
thing te leek at from a distance, cither
as she lay at anchor, the tracery of her
spars and rigging in relief against the
Bky, or speeding along "under studding
sails rigged out en both side3. But once
en beard and inside her symmetrical
lines, things were net se bentttf ul. These
white, cloud llke sails tore men's fingers
aij, hard and heavy with ice or snow,
the sailors trjed te furl them. These
graceful, tapering yards, supporting the
studding sails, strained and hair crushed
men's backs when lowered and toted
about the deck. There were wooden Ins
laying pins, iron marline spikes and oth eth
er miscellaneous things te fling nt men's
heads by these in authority. Tho3e cob
web like ropes had hard, thick ends ly
ing coiled en deck te lash men's bodies.
We, the six boys, were obliged te leave
our native heaths' because there wasn't
room for ub en them te earn our bread
and clothes. We were net clearly aware
of this-at the time, though an unspoken
sentiment prevailed there, as it does in
most of the elder settled states, that the
young man must move away te "seek his
fortune."
The captain of the Wizard was from
our native town. Therefore myself and
the five ether boys had bhipped under
him, expecting special favors. A mis
take. Never sail under a captain who
knows your folks nt home. Yeu have
no business te expect favoritism; he has
no business te grant it.
I was the last of the six young lubbers
te leave the town for New Yerk. On
the morning of my departure the moth
ers, sisters and ether female relatives of
the five who had geno befere discovered
many ether things which they deemed
necessary for tlm urchins te carry en the
voyage. Se they bere down en me with
thorn, and I bade most of these geed
peeple an earthly farewell, leaded down,
in addition te my own traps, with an
asserted cargo of cakes, sweetmeats, bed
quilts, Bibles, tracts and ene copy of
"Yeung's Night Thoughts" for the boys.
I ate my last dinner as a free man nt a
Broadway restaurant, and then I'went
te the wharf where the ship lay. Al
ready the tug was alongside, preparatory
te hauling her out in the stream. I went
up the plank and ever the bide. A gen
tleman in authority asked me, ns I
stepped en deck, if I belonged te the
ship. I said I did. "Take off these togs, I
then, put en your working duds and
turn te, then," he remarked. The togs
went off. I put en ray canvas pants and
flannel shirt, the garb of sea servitude.
Henceforth I was a slave. The ship just
then was net a Sunday school nor a so
ciety for ethical culture. It was a howl
ing pandemonium of oaths and orders.
Fully one-third of the able seamen had
net rccevcied from their cleaing out
shore spree, and had tumbled into their
berths or were sprawled en deck drunk.
Carge in cases, bales, boxes and barrels
was still rattled ever the bulwarks and
into the held. Everybody seemed te be
swearing first, each ene en his own
private account, and secondly, all in ene
general chorus for mutual purposes.
Many peeple seemed in command. I
couldn't distinguish the officers of the
shin from the stevedores. Still officers
continued te turn up everywhrrc, and
each eilicer ordered me te seme partlcu
lai and separate duty.
The world looked pretty black te me
then. I wished thcre was seme way out
of it. On bhore the period between the
foremast hand and tlie position of cap
tain was only the duration of n thought.
Here it waB an eternity. Day dreams
nre short, real cxperience is long. But
all this is often in youth a difficult mat
ter te realize.
There, came along a short, stout man
with a deeper veice and mero sonorous
oath than anybody else. This was the
fourth and last mate. It was a relief te
find at last the end of the mates and te
knew the exact number of men legiti
mately entitled te swear at me. This
gentleman for a Beasen concentrated
himself entirely en me. He ordered me
with a broom and scraper into the ship's
pig pen, which he argued nceueu clean
ing. This was my first well defined
maritime- duty. It was a ev.vt round of
the ladder-than I had anticipated. It
seemed in its nature an occupation mere
bucolie than nautical. I would have
preferred, also, that cempliance with the
order had net been exacted until the ship
had left the wharf, because there were
bcver.il bhore visitors en beardL and

Meed, in all the bravery of atlkhaU and
fashionably-cut attire, conversing en
terms of equality with the first mate.
They could talk with him ea the weather
or any subject. I, by virtue of my In
ferior position, was net at liberty te
peak te this potentate at all
I jumped into the pig pen. Thus des
tiny, despite our Inclination, forces
down our threats these bitter pills. The
fourth mate was net mere than a year
my senior. He steed ever me during the
entire process and scolded, cursed and
commanded. My shore friends looked en
from afar and grinned. Already they
saw the great social chasm which
yawned between me and them, and
governed their actions accordingly. Al
ready did they involuntarily patrenise
me. It requires a wise man te detect
the wickedness and deceit in his own
nature. Probably I should have simi
larly acted had our positions been re
versed. The mate was Tery particular.
He made me sweep and scrape every
corner with an elaborate and painful
accuracy. He sent me into the pig's
house te further perfect the work, I was
obliged te enter it in an almost recum
bent position. The pig ran out disgust
ed. I scraped his fleer in a similar mood.
Thus commenced life en the ocean
wave,
But I get even with the mate. Destiny
made me my own involuntary avenger
or the indignity put upon me. ' By in
dignity I don't mean the cleaning of the
pig pen. That was an honorable though
menial occupation at least, in theory.
Cincinnatus en his farm may have done
tile same thing. But I de mean the scur
rility and abuse Jbe young officer be
stowed en me, while I did my best te
cxecute his bidding.
I hauled the young man overboard
about tliree minutes afterward, but he
never knew I did it, and I never allowed
myself te think of the occurrence while
en shipboard, for fear the powers of the
air might ventilate the matter. It came
about in this way: A line was passed
through n hawse hele forward te (he tug,
which was puffing, fretting, fuming, and
churning with herscrew the mud ooze
and garbage floating in the slip into n
closer fusion. My friend the mate steed
en the fercchains with the end of the
heavy repe in both hands, trying te pass
it te these en the tug. This line running
through the hawse hele aft was lying
near where I steed. Some ene called eut:
"Haul inen that line!" I supposed that
the order referred te me and the hawser
lying at my side. Se I hauled with all
my might. I felt at first seme resistance
something llke a tugging at the ether
end. I hauled all the harder. Then
something seemed te give way. It
hauled easier. I heard, coincident with
these sensations, a splash, loud cries,
mucli swearing and the yell of "Man
overboard I" I raised my head ever the
bulwarks and there was my mate,
floundering amid deck oezo, rotten or
anges and salt water. It was he who
held the ether end of the line, and my
hauling had caused the center of gravity
in his short body te shift beyond the
base, and in accerdance with a natural
law he had geno overboard. He was
the general cynesure of all eyes". They
fished him out, wet and swearing. There
was a vigorous demand for the miscre
ant who had been hauling en the line. I
was as far as pessible from the spot and
kept myself very busy. Bluster went
below and changed his clothes. I was
uvenged.
We were towed into the stream and
anchored for the night. Te leek at New
Yerk city, with its many lights and its
thousands amusing themselves in various
ways, from the ship's deck, without the
possibility of joining them, was te feel
for the first tlme the slavery of marina
life. Emerging very early next morning
from the "boys' house," I found every
thing in the bustle and confusion of get
ting under way. A long flle of men were
tramping nft with a very wet hawser.
As I steed looking at them my ear was
seized by our Dutch third mate, who ac
companied the action with the remark,
"Coeins, I put you te work." He con
ducted me in this manner te the repe and
bade me lay held of it. I did se. I could
have dene "se with a better heart and will
had it net been for the needless and de
grading manner in which he enforced his
command. Most men de their work just
as well for being treated with a certain
courtesy of command due from the
superior te the Inferior.

sets te the new steel cruisers is only just
begun, and the elder systems of drills
are carried out en beard of the very
large majority of naval vessels new in
commission. Should the various propo prepo
sitions for the incorporation of a naval
reserve, new se much talked about
throughout the country, be carried into
effect, the drills will have, by sheer
ferce of circumstances, te partake mero
of the nature of what has been the meth
od for years than of what would apply
mero especially te improved breech
mechanism, torpedo tubes and smoke
less powders.
The reason for- this is net far te seek,
and lies chiefly in the fact tliat just at
present the navy docs net possess enough
of the modern cruisers for its own press
ing needs, and the receiving ships and
monitors that will probably be the ves
sels first utilized for drill purposes by
the pioneers of the auxiliary naval forces,
or naval reserve contingent, are already
of n past day and generation. The for

active service since. A half million qf
dollars, mero or less, is mentioned as the
sum necessary te put them in condition

have "quarters" at 9:30 in the morning.
This is for the purpese of muster nnd

en beard and if they are properly dressed
in the prescribed uniform of the day.
The men stationed nt the guns of the
battery fall in alongside of their respect
ive cannon en ene side of the deck, the
first division forward, the second next,
and se en until nil the places are taken,
Thcre are always a large number of men
en beard vessels of war who are net sta

ants, the engineer's ferce, the various
petty officers, whose general duties nre
below decks; the men required te attend
te the steering of the vessel, handling
the signals, sounding apparatus, etc.;
also the carpenters, whose particular
duties are te leek out for and step up

fast rule, the above order is the one quite
generally observed en all vessels that
have open deck for carrying the battery.
The inspection ever, orders nre given te
the division officers regarding the special
drills for the day, and for the greater
portion of an hour in the forenoons nnd
again in the afternoons drills are carried

addition te the usual drills uleft with
sails and (.pars, beat cxercite under ears
at rare intervals, encampments en shore,
occupy a large portion of the available
hours, and give an opportunity for thor
ough instruction in all that pertains te
what would probably be the experience
in actual service against an enemy. The
guns most generally in use aboard the
wooden ships are the smooth bere 9-inch
Dahlgrcns, made during the civil war
and a few years befere that struggle, a
f Jw Parrett guns of the 60-peundcr pat
tern are also te be found, while the larg
est gun is an 8-inch rlfle converted from
an 11-inch Dahlgrcn smooth bore.
The whele object of the drill is te se
netfect the crew in their Individual duties
that when they are called together te go
through the motions of fighting an
enemy every detail will have been care
fully attended te and the whele body will
act as an intelligent unit The great
gun drill consists in casting loeso alt the
tackles that held the gun in place when
the ship is rolling about, and in provid
ing the apparatus required te lead nnd
fire, while the gun's crew arm themselves
with cutlass and pistol or rifles, as their
stations call for. Once a week at "gen
eral quarters" powder and projectiles are
brought up en deck -and the motions of
leading and firing geno through with.
Primers are snapped Instead of actually
firing the guns, which latter is only dene
ence in thrce months, when the quarter
ly target practice is geno through with.
Until within the lest four years but little
proper system was observed at this quar
terly firing, nnd it was quite generally
apt-te be regarded as mero or less of a
bore that must be geno through with and
endured simply for the sake of carrying
out what the regulations prescribed.
Lieut. Forsyth-Meigs, for seme years
gunnery instructor at the Naval academy,
drew up a most excellent system, which
he introduced in the North Atlantic
squadron while under the command of
Admirals Luce and Jeuctt. This consist
ed of two parts an individual practice
in which the vessel and target were both
anchored about a thousand yards apart,
and each gun was fired separately, the
scale of merit depending both upon the
celerity displayed in firing a certain
number of shots and in the smallncss of
the area covered by these shots.
A medal was presented te the most
successful gun captain. The man win
ning the greatest number of times was
James Jehnsen. His work was re
markable, especially as his gun was
in competition with seme of the rifled
guns. The gun which he fired was
ene of the broadslde 0-inch smooth
bores of the flagship Richmond. This
method of individual practice was In
tended te lead up te what was termed
battery practice, in which the target was
again stationary, but Uie vessels were
under way, steaming around it through
nn are. of 00 degs., and at somewhnt ever
ene thousand yards off. The prize in this
case was a small triangular flag, which

the successful vessel carried at the fore.
The number of shots fired while the ves
sel was in the firing arc, ns well as the
distribution of these shots, were the two
quantities used in determining thoflgure
of merit. The cutlass drill is the same
as broadsword exercise, the men being
armed witli wooden bticks, having a
large leather guard. This is an excel
lent muscle developing drill, and when
properly executed is quite well worth
watching, particularly at its close, when
a regular set-te is usually encouraged.
The pistol or rovel ver drill is for the pur pur pur
eoeo of instruction' in handling that wea
pon, and te teach the men te become
geed snap shots. The drill in the man
ual of arms, the leadings'and firings and
the skirmish drill, as far as sitnple de
ployment and accustoming the men te
the various bugle calls are concerned,
are about all the Instruction in "soldier
ing" that can well be given en ship
beard. Meb tactics, marchings and re
views, as well as a mero extended skir
mishing and rifle target firing, have te
be postponed until a navy yard or seme
convenient pert is reached.
The only torpedoes at present furnished
vessels are these known as "spar torpe
does," which are used -both from long
booms fitted alengside of the vessels, and
smaller ones for working in the steam
launches. Improvising torpedoes, fuzes
and fittings from ene's own resources
forms a valuable, feature of tlds exercise.
Gun cotton is the explosive new used in
all naval torpedoes. The newcr vessels
nre te be fitted with automobile torpe
does, which arc, of course., an Immense
change from "a bag of powder at the end
of a Stick." Proficiency in handling the
various types of machine and rapid fire
artillery consists, net only in the ability
te lead and fire with rapidity and precis
ion, but also te thoroughly master the
true inwardness of the various kinds of
arms and te be able te dismount and re
assemble, the pieces as readily as any ex
pert in the factory at which they were
made. By this means nlone can the de
lays caubed by a jamming or breaking of
seme ene of the many parts be readily
overcemo when the tlme of actual use in
battle, arrives. The powder division is
ce.n04cd largely of bervants and se
called non-combatants. The band aboard
flagships Is usually placed In this divis
ion, and although classed among the non nen non
cemlKitants, the powder division is really
ene of the most important in the ship, as
upon its coolness and activity depends the
maintcnance of an uninterrupted supply
of ammunition, a matter always of great
imtertnncc, but in these days of rapid
fire guns ene that requires much mero
bard work than ever befere.
The surgeon's division, usually three or
four in number only, is supplemented by
men especially detailed from the gun's
crews in case the wounded require at
tention. A portion, bay about a third of
the engineer's ferce, is distributed be
tween the powder pnd gun divisions. In
ndditien te the regular duties the powder
division is exercised at the battery and
at small arms, hi order te be capable of
looking after the vessel when the lot let lot
talieu is ashere for fighting purposes.
The men in the navigator's division nre

in time of action te leek out after her

the repairs that may be necessary te her
rigging, hull, tpars or sails, and are all
drilled with rifles mid cutlasses. The
marine guard, or the sea soldiers, are gen
erally exercised unce or twice a week at

In Silesia, bis majesty "proved his skill nith
the rifle" by sheeting in two days 75.1 head of
game "te his own rifle," Th's is great non
tense; for, apart from the fact that pcoplede
net usually sheet pheasants and bares with
rifles, tbe emperer bes never used such a
weapon In bis life; for, having practically
only ene hand, he nlnays sboeU with a short
gun, which has been made exprewdy for him,
and with which be takes "et" shots, holding
it and aiming It like a pistol Tbe bag of 7M
head may possibly represent the achievement
of the whole party at Pless, but it would be
very remarkable If the emperor himself had
shot a tenth of It. lie failed entirely last
year, when he went out In Styrlnwith the
emperor of Austria, and, In fact, he can only
sheet with any chance of success If tbe game
isdrlven close under his gun. Londen World.

The Brotherhood of Players Is
in Disturbed Waters.
'
HOW W. I. HARRIS SEES IT.
He Saya Jealousy, with Its Green Cres, It
Alrcalty Undoing Much That tlat Ileen
Dane The Situation at the Present Time
Satnmrd Up.
The Players' league Is beginning te reallse
that it has teme rough reads te travel befere
It reaches anything Ilka tucca. It Is already
having some hard lines nnd will have a geed
many mero befere n ball Is thrown In Its
opening season. Jealousy has already begun
te get In lit work, mid tha discus!ens It Is
causing threaten te mnke serious gapn in the
llnoefbattK
The leaders In the new movement are find
ing that their anticipation of easy running
was a trifle previous. The principal trouble
Is, of course, the lawsuits, but these they nre
confident they will win, or At least they np
pear te be sure of victory. Just the same,
the suit against Jehn Ward, which will ceme
up during the term of court which opens
Jan. 0, is Riving them seme uneasiness, nwlug
te the supplemental contract which WarU
has with the New Yerk club and which he
dre.w up hlmelf.
In this document he practically acknowl
edged that the club had aright te his ser
vices in IKK), bconine he Invited In It a cluuoe
that ha wns net f e be hthl fur INJ nt n less
salary than M,000. The natural Inference
is that unless he believed the club had n right
te te held htm he would uethava used the
words 1 have put hi italics. This supple
mental contract will have an important bear
ing en the caw, although the brotherhood
leaders afTcct te think etbci wlse.
Anether dlillculty, and ene which the
Ilrothcrheod men are willing te iiduilt Is In
juring them and their en use, Is the rapacity
of some of the players, which Is te a large ox ex
tent superinduced by jealousy. It Is this ra
pacity which Is causing many of the dewr dewr
tlens that are occurring from tlme te tlme.
Theso men who hnve held off from signing
regular llrolherheod contracts are striving
te work the new league for large incronies of
salary.
Sir. Ward claims, and he Is no doubt cor
rect, that thcre was a thorough understand
lug In regard te the salaries te be paid wheu
the original agreements te secede were signed.
It was definitely stated that nil players were
te receive from the Players' league the same
salaries they had In 18), except In the cases
el men who nail been classilleil, and these
men were te get the salaries they received In
ISbS. This was the agreement, made as plain
ns xsslhle, nnd Ward and the ether lenders
say that the plaj ors must stick te If, They
argue, and with Justice tee, that It would be
unfair te Hiiro who have signed In geed faith
te allow theso who have net tlgned te boom
their tolarles at the oxpense of the faithful
nnd of the Players' league It was In pur pur
suauce of this policy that Ticruau, Welch,
Myers and Thompson were refused their do de
tnands, und the result was that three of them
deserted te the League, and Welch will surely
fellow,
Welch, It apiiears, they were willing te
give a little mera money, but bis ether terms
were deemed te be preposterous. Welch
wnnted $4,000 n year, with n strong (icrsaiin)
guarantee for three yearn and n proviso In
serted In the contract that In case of his
death the salary for hla unexpired tlme
should be paid te his family, Tim Kccfe, In
speaking of It, mild; "We want te de the
square thing by Welch, but we couldn't
ngrce te cucli demands. It was net a ques
tion of salary. We were willing te glve
within a few hundreds of what he wanted,
but we could net guarantee him any mero
than the ethers, which U n year sure nnd lilt
salary for such ether tlme as he might be in
our employ; but us for Insuring big llfe for
hit benetlt, that Is simply absurd." It will
be wen that Welch must medcratn his terms
If he expects te be with the Ilrothcrheod.
Other men nre Insisting en large Increases
In violation of their agreements, and are be
Ing "called down" by tbe llrotburheod lead-
OIK.
Thern who nre charged with taking advan
tage of the situation brought about by the
brotherhood movement te wpiceze their
fricmlti are net silent under these attacks.
Their argument Is unlque, te bay thu least,
and will wit a goal many of the players te
thinking. They urgue that the leaders,
knowing that icbelllen was curtain and hav hav
IngnVlerinlned en It long b'.'fore they signed
hi tbsl), held out for Increase of salary nnd
playud'the limit en the League In that ro re
bjiect, uml of course men llke Ward, Krefe,
Kwlug, Haulon, IVelTcr nnd O'lleurke, who
get all the way from tll.OQO in 185'J te tl,GO0,
are quite content net te ask for Increase of
Hilary, They knew what was coming and
get In en the ground fleer. The rank and
Uie did net, and they claim that where they
have been getting less saUrles than men who
sre no' better players, they are eutltlud te
have their comjicusatien equalized.
These arguments nre fccolTed nt by the
Brotherhood leaders, who de net hesitate te
charge that tliey emanate fiem tlie League
Whether this be true or net Is Immaterial.
The arguments work, und with ethers, simi
lar, nre festering that Jealous splrlfTwhlch is
fatnl te succetvs. tSome men who have nlrcady
slgned ure beginning te discover that ether
men, no mero entitled te it than they ure,
have been grauted uu increase, nnd they are
sere la cousequence. The men w he have net
signed have one unanswerable argument. It
Is this; It any unclasnllled player is entitled
te an Increase ever his 18f9 salary all are en
titled te all the Increase they can get.
The multiplicity of managers is proving a
bad thing in Philadelphia. Already two
prominent backers, Messrs, Wblttal nnd
Taggart, the latter a newspapcr proprietor,
have become disgusted with se much bicker
ing and haie sold their stock and withdrawn
from the movement, Mr Tuggart says that
"tee many cooks spoil the broth, and he has
hed enough." Hls stock has been promptly
taken up, but hu defection has caused a feel
ing of Insecurity among the Urothcrheod men
In Philadelphia.
In Chicago the PlayeiV League club has
lest Its grounds, owing te the opposition of
the citizens who live in the vicinity, n be ob
jected te the closing of the street that runs
through the grounds nnd have persuaded the
mayor te veto the order of the aldermen per
mitting the use of the ground. I am told
that the same difficulty threatens the llrook llreok llroek
lyn Players' club grounds nnd the Pitttsburg
Players' club Ishaving a great deal of treuble
In finding nuy ground) at all,
Theso nre miner troubles compared with
theso which are te ceme. When the various
clubs lieglu te equip their grounds nnd put
up advance money In earnest ucxt March
they wilt 11 ml that their Ideas have net been

Court Cleared by a Leper.
Something of a panic was created
recently in a St. Leuis court when a
leper was produced en a writ of habeas
corpus. The writ was directed against
tlie city eilicials, who were directed te
bring tlie lejier from quarantine in eidcr
te demonstrate te the court that the man
was really a leper and was net being
unlawfully restrained of his liberty. The
judge took ene glunce at the loathsome
creature, whose body was covered with
blue and white blotches, from which
eca!6s were constantly dropping. He
was immediately convinced that the
man was a genulne leper, ordered him
back te iiuar.intlne and adjourned court
te give the janitor n chance te fumigute
and air the place. J'hiladelphla Ledger.
