5ing Ho! For Oui Gallant
Fleet Now in Magdalena Bay
How "Fighting Bob" and the Men Behind the
Guns Brought the "Big Sixteen" Safely
to Anchor in That Beautiful Harbor.
WHAT THE CREWS EAT ON THE LONG PRACTICE VOYAGE
Magdalena Bay, Lower California,
Tla San Diego, Cal. It is probablo
that the fleet will leavo here between
April 5 and April 10. Stops will be
made at San Diego, the ports ot Lob
Angeles, Santa Barburu and Santn
Cruz. At Los Angeles the fleet will
be divided into divisions of lour ships
each, to be anchored off Long Beach,
San Pedro, Redondo, Ventco and
Santa Monica. It Is not unlikely that
the fleet first will steam in single line
formation up the coast along the line
of the various, ports and then divide.
This would make a splendid naval pa
geant which might be witnessed by
the people of those cities. Again, on
departure, the fleet will probably
form in single column and sail north,
repeating tho parade. A simultan
eous salute, such as was given In
some ot the South American ports,
may be fired.
Target Practice.
Target practice will occupy prob
ably about three weeks There will
be no battle practice, that being hold
in. the fall of the year. Preliminary
practice Is limited to two ships, the
Kansas and tho Vermont, which have
not yet fired all their guns in practice.
All will engage In record target prac
tice. There will be four ranges, four
ships firing at a time. The rafts fortbe
targets were finis'. ed and towed out
to the grounds, I tho southeast of
where the squar! on was anchored.
Three or four of the ships, Including
tho Georgia, Rhode Island, Kansas
and Vermont, were on the range lay
ing out the lines and anchoring buoys
for the attachment of the targets and
for the guidance of the ships. The
frames of the targets were towed out
by a tug.
Coal Problem Met.
Captain R. R. Ingersoll, chief of
staff to Rear-Admiral Evans, upon
whom much of the detail work In
connection with the voyage has fall
en, said:
"The plans which were formu
lated last August for the coaling on
the present cruise provided for tho
use of eighty tons per steaming mile.
Then there was added eight tons
dally for various necessary allow
ances. We have found that we were
able to keep well within this esti
mate and maintain the ten-knot
speed. The arrangements for coaling
at all our various stopping places
have been carried out, and the prear
ranged plans have proved entirely
adequate.
"At Rio we took on 2 4,000 tons,
at Punta Arenas 21,000, at Callao
21,000, and at Magdalena, when we
have finished with the colliers, we
shall have taken on 35,000 tons addi
tional. This supply will be adequate
to last until we arrive at San Fran
cisco. This provides also for the coal
to be used In our target practice.
All this amount of coal was provided,
with the exception of the amounts
taken on at Rio and Trinidad, from
chartered colliers.
The Provisions,
"The supply rhip loads and the
provisions for the fleet were com
puted at the same time as the coal
cstlmale, and submitted to the de
partment. These have worked out to
perfection. Our fresh meat lasted
until we reached Magdalena, where
we still had 200,000 pounds left
over. We had 1,000,000 pounds of
fresh meat when we started. The
bakpiles on our ships have supplied
us with from 900 to 1000 loaves of
bread dally. We started with half a
Million pounds of potatoes, which
supply was exhausted at Punta Are
We Issued the last 4000 pounds
were. Krom there to Callao the
crews were rationed with dehydrated
or dried vegetables, which were
found to bo most satisfactory. At
Callao we took on 238,000 pounds of
potatoes, which lasted until we
reached Magdalena. Here the Buffalo
met us with 200 tons more. This
will last ten days, until the Culgoa
can get here from San Diego, where
she was sent from Callao with orders
to tnke on stores and return here.
She will give us enough fresh provis
ions to last until wo arrive at our
Ann! destination at San Francisco.
"The trip has demonstrated that
the Atlantic fleet can go to any part
of the world if coal is provided. The
men and officers of the fleet have not
regarded the present cruise In the
same remarkable sense that the pub
lic has. With them it has merely
been a day's work nothing more.
However, they are all gratified at tho
successful conclusion of the cruise to
date. It merely confirms our expec
tations." Failure to Rescue Jeffs.
Much disappointment is expressed
throughout the fleet over tho failure
of the expedition to rescue the Amer
can sailor Jeffs from Indefatigable
Island. The fleet passed within about
forty miles of the Island, and the ten
der Yankton was sent In to make the
search. The landing party from tho
tender searched all habitable parts of
the island for two days. Remains of
camp fires were found In several
places, but no trace of the sailor was
discovered. In one place a razor was
found with Jeffs' initials on It. It Is
the belief of the men on the Yankton
that the marooned sailor has been
picked up by some passing vessel.
Search was made In every possible
place where the man could have con
cealed himself before perishing, but
it was without result.
The Town of Magdalena.
The little town of Magdalena has
not grown to any appreciable extent
because of the fleet's visit. It is about
the same size that It has been for
years past. It consists of a row of
one and two-story whitewashed
houses located on the northern shore
of what is known as Man of War
Cove. The houses sit back from the
beach some fifty feet and extend for
perhaps 1000 yards along the shore.
Mr. Heney, a cousin of Francis .1.
Heney, the assistant district attorney
of San Francisco, Is the only full
white man In the place. He has re
sided here for the last eight years as
local manager of a company control
ling 4,120,000 acres of land which
fronts along the bay. A young wom
an, a cousin of Mr. Heney, and ber
mother reside with him. The remain
der of the population la entirely Mex
ican. There are normally about llfi
people In the place. On the ranch
horses and cattle are reared. The
cattle are ki'led for local consump
tion. Water Is tho great problem.
Ordinarily, it Is brought from many
miles Inland, and frequently Is fur
nished to Mr. Heney by warships In
the harbor, which have distilling
plants.
The day before the arrival of the
Atlantic fleet the steamship Curacao,
from La Paz, landed thirty-eight Mex
icans at Magdalena. and the question
of food and water for them was a se
rious problem. Mr. Heney solved it
by sharing a supply from the ships.
Governor Sanglnez and his official
party are quartered at Mr. Heney's
residence.
Within the last two days two or
three new buildings of a temporary
nature havo sprung up along the
beach and are being used by Mexican
vendors.
BradBtreet'a says:
There is quite considerable Im
provement In both the tone of gener
al distributive trade and In the vol
ume of business actually booked by
Jobbers. Withal, however, there Is
little change to be seen In the char
acter of the buying, which is still
along very conservative lines, and
while the volume of business doing
la larger now than at any time since
last fall, the shrinkage from a year
ago Is distinct and unmistakably
large. Collections are still very back
ward; prices of staples tend lower,
as for a long time past; th earning
power of employes In many linos Of
Industry Is bring curtailed by short
time or wage reductions, nnd the
threat is made that a refusal to ac
cept lower wages may result In a
wide-spread suspension of activity in
the coal trade. The demand for iron
and steel show little real expansion,
aside from some lines like wire ami
similar goods; old material tends to
ease, and many consuming plants arc
running on short time.
The long standing curtailment of
cotton good's products shows no signs
of ending: in fart, a continued heavy
cut In production is indicated, nnd
notice has been given, in addition, of
a 10 per cent, reduction in wages lit
some Eastern mills.
Dry goods of various kinds, grocer
ies, hardware, implements and paints
are moving fairly well. Export trade
in cotton goods does not gain much,
and the outgo of farm products Is
I not as large as in recently preceding
I months.

I)y the Editor of the Ladles' World.
Gcorgo William Curtis laid down
the unalterable law of editorship
when lie said that n man should not
do nnythlng ns an editor that h?
would not do nH a gentleman.
No gentleman would Introduce
into your home a conversation on a
strictly private medical topic, or re
late stories of well-known person?
that were palpably falBo. And no
editor has a right to seek your com
pany by such means, even though
they are contained In a publication
behind which he Is to n lnrgo extent
hidden nnd protected.
You have grown careful about yout
food, your milk supply, your meats,
your vegetables, and tho slightest
thing that Is questionable now lcadt
to vigorous complaint. But what
about the mental food for your fam
ily, tho reading for your sons and
daughters, and even your own maga
zines and newspapers? When you
find rottenness, do you follow the
dictates of your conscience nnd your
lodgment, or do you calmly accept
It as the natural product of a new
age?
There Is nothing new in the stan
dards of decent editing and healthy
reading. The best and the cleanest
in current literature Is hardest to
secure; It means more in thought,
effort and money. The sensations
which are exploited before you are
not only exaggerations in themselves,
hut are essentially cheap and fnlBe
In their price marks. Furthermore,
the.- are doubly expensive in thai
they destroy the appetite for sane
literature and accurate Information.
Just as tainted food too highly sea
soned will injuriously affect the
whole physical and moral structure
Homes in which erotic stories nnd
scandal romances are read, bo they
In books or magazines or news
papers, are not the homes that are
contributing to the proper manhood
and womanhood of the world are
not the homes that will supply the
leaders In thought and action for to
morrow. These vulgar sensations
taint the mind, and a tainted mind
means a tainted soul.
"Therefore, who taints his soul
may be said to throw dirt in God'f
face."
"Give nn account of thy steward
ship, for thou mayst be no longei
steward." This was the message
brought to America a few weeks age
by the Bishop of London, a modern
leader of the people, the first Bishop
of London to preach In America, and
he gave his message to a congrega
tion of millionaires. Just before he
sailed he was called to see a man
whose name was known throughoul
the world. This man had Just ben
given six weeks to live, and the whole
matter of responsibility nnd pride
came before him vividly, nlarmlngly.
What was fame or great wealth in
the presence of a death sentence,
only six weeks away?
"It is my contention," said the
Bishop, "that a man who believes
that he is more thp.n a steward is as
mad as a Bishop of London who
think.- he owns tho world." Again,
"Anything you have not your own!
We are simply stewards, not owners."
EdltorB are the stewarda of the re
sponsibility which they owe to their
readers; you are the stewards of tho
responsibility which you owe to
yourselves and to your homes.
Watches For the Blind.
The blind, like other mortals, wlsl
to know the time exactly, and us verj
few of them are in a position to ee
cure a good repeating watch, whose
cost Is always great, they have to bi
content with ordinary watches, ana
taking the crystal out of the face they
ascertain the time by the angles and
position of thj hands, which frequent
ly causes disarrangement of the time
piece. In view of these difficulties a for
eign firm has constructed n watch for
tbe blind, which represents the fig
ures in allegorial manner, and appar
ently Is very convenient. The signs
In relief are the following: One
o'clock, a dot; 2 o'clock, two dots; 3
o'clock, a triangle; 4 o'clock, a
square; 6 o'clock, a five pointed star;
6 o'clock, an eclipse.
These same signs arc repeated in
the same order in bas-relief repre
senting the hours from 6 to 12. The
number of signs is therefore limited
to six, and it is very easy to ascer
tain from them the time of day. The
hands are very strong and the watch
has been used with good results.
Another watch for the blind has
been Invented by M. Pierre Tissot
Bersof, by which the blind can tell
not only the hour, but also the min
ute. The hours are represented by
flgureB of the Braille system. Bos

Inebriated Encouragement.
A picture of Joseph Leggelt, Police
Commissioner of the city, published
in a recent issue of the Call, brought
to me a little incident I observed New
Year's Day v years ago. On that
day I was standing at Scott street
and Golden Gate avenue, intently
watching the antics of a citizen who
evidently had a liberal amount of
New Year's cheer aboard when Leg
gett, with his whiskers floating in
the breeze, appeared. He came down
the steep incline from Devisadero
street on his wheel at what appeared
to be a breakneck speed, when the
Inebriated citizen spied him, and im
mediately stepping out into the road
way, raised both bands in tho air and
yelled in a megaphone voice:
"Go it, you old dude go It, you
old dude! " and as the present Com
missioner disappeared down the ave
nue gave a final demoniacal yell:
"Go it, you old dude!" San

Its Chief Use and a Method of Deter

While Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. It Is
made by corroding metallic lead Into
a white powder, through ctposlng It
to the fumes of weak acetic acid and
carbonic acid gns; this powder is then
ground and mixed with linseed oil,
making a thick pnslo, n which form
It la packed and sold Tor painting
purposes. The painter thins It down
to the propor conlstcncy for applica
tion by the addition of more United
oil.
The above refers, of course, to
pure, genuine White Lead only. Adul
terated and fake "White Lead," of
which there aro many brands on the
market, Is geuornlly some sort of
composition containing only a per
centage of white lead sometime nn
Wbltc Lead st all; In such stuff,
bnrytes or ground rock, chalk, and
similar cheap Rubstnnc.es are used to
make bulk and Imitate the nppear
ancc of pure White Iead.
There Is, however, a positive test
by which the purity or Impurity of
White Lead may bo proved or ex
posed, before painting with It.
The blow-pipe Aame will reduce
pure White Lend to metallic lend. If
a supposed White Lead be thus tested
and It only partially reduces to lead,
loavlng n residue, It Is proof that
sometning else was there besides
White Lend.
The National Lead Company guar
antee all White i.. .id sold In pack
ages bearing Its "Dutch Hoy Painter"
trade-mark to prove absolutely pure
nndur this blow-pipe test, nnd that
you may make the test yourself In
your own home, limy will send free
upon request a blow-pipe and every
thing else necessary to make the
test, together with a valuable booklet
on paint. Address, National Lead

Cured by Cuticura.
"1 had eczema on my hands for about
seven yeais and during that time 1 bad
used several no-called remedies, together
with physicians' und druggists' prescrip
tions. The disease was so bad on my
hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one
of the cracks and a rule placed across the
hand would not touch the pencil. 1 kept
using remedy after remet'y, and while some
gave partial relief, none relieved aa much

I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and

cured after two boxes of Cuticura Oint
