The spirit of modern progress Is mov

playing havoc -with its nnclcut plctur
fcsqucness nnd hoary traditions, accord
ing to the Rev. S. K. Graham, president
of tho Weslcynn Theological seminary
In tho United States.
"In Egypt," ho said, "the new order
of things did not seem to matter so
much. One rather expects that sort
.of thing where the hand of English In
Jenco Is felt to any degree. But In
the Holy Land It is qulto different. It
'is a shock to one's preconceived no

rampant twentieth century civilization

KAISER STILL COLD TO SON.
Crown Prince May Pay Emperor In
His Own Coin.
It seems to be quite tho usual thing
for reigning monarchs and their heirs
to bo at loggerheads. AVe can all call
to mind the treatment of tho Emperor
Frederick of Germany by his son, the
present kaiser.
And, it looks very much as though
the latter gentleman is likely to be
paid out in his own coin, for the es
trangement between the crown prince
and his father shows no signs of be
ing healed. This being the case, the
quarrel between tho two assumes an
altogether international importance,
for at any moment the crown princo
may bo called upon to assume the
reins of government
Since his views are opposed to those
of his father, it naturally follows that
when he takes his place at the helm
he will steer the German ship of state
upon a different course to that which
has until now been sailed.
Tho refusal of tho kaiser to associ
ate his eldest son and heir with him
in tho government of tho empire has
aroused a considerable amount of pub
lic attention.
The crown princo is universally
liked, and his consort is a favorite
with all classes. It is generally ac
knowledged that ho is a capable level
headed, sensible a. 1 able young man,
wholesome In e'erj sense of tho word
nnd possessed t many qualities that
might be used to the advantage of his
fellow countrymen.
RAID ON BANANA BUTTER.
Judge Landis Active, but Treasury Has
No Complaint Against Makers.
Tho officials of tho treasury depart
ment are at odds with United States
Judge Kenesaw II. Landis of Chicago
over his action in directing the United
States attorney there to Institute an in
vestigation by tho federal grand jury
on charges that the packing companies
which manufacture oleomargarine are
defrauding tho government out of the
internal revenue tax of 10 cents a
pound a colored oleomargarine. The
tax is only half a cent a pound on the
uncolored product
Some time ago tho oleomargarine
manufacturers devised a new method
of making tho product from banana
oil. Through their counsel they sub
mitted to the treasury department not
only all tho Ingredionts, but also the
finished product, to ascertain whether
they would bo prosecuted for evading
tho ten cent tax if they used tho new
method. The government chemists
made an analysis of tho samples sub
mitted and informed the manufactur
ers that they could uso their method
without being liable for the higher tax.
According to the officials of tho treas
ury, the packing officials are innoceut
of any deliberate evasion of the inter
nal revenue tax and have co-operated
with tho federal officials In freely sub
mitting their samples and process to
tho government chemists for official
sanction before its adoption.

I Celebration.
COMMODORE OLIVER HAZARD
PERRY'S flagship, tho Niagara,
is to bo raised from tho bottom
of Misery bay, Presquo isle
peninsula. The old war vessel to
which Perry fled when his original
flagship, the Lawrence, was forced to
strike hor colors Is to take a leading
part in tho centennial celebration of
the battle of Lake Erie next summer.
Her hull Is in good condition, accord
ing to experts who have examined her,
and a cofferdam Is to be built about
her so that the remains of the vossel
will be ihtiii.ijjod as llltlo as possible in
raising. Tut' hulk will bo towed ashore
and brought Into a drydock used for
repairing ilshlug tugs, there to be re
built and made ready for the part.lt
is to take In the celebration.
When Barclay had suneudered to the
gallant I'orry the American fleet re
turned to Erie harbor, and the vessels,
both Perry's and the captured English
gunboats, vrero anchored temporarily
In Misery bay, a small inlet leading
back into the woods that cover Presque
isle peninsula.
Tho Lawrence was so badly riddled
that no attempt was made to preserve
it. Its splintered timbers were con
verted Into walking sticks and knick
knacks to bo disposed of as sonvenlrs.
The Niagara, however, was useful for
u number of years, and finally, not
knowing a better way of disposing of
tho ancient warship, tho residents of
Erie scuttled it in Misery bay, where
it has remained since, covered by fif
teen feet of water.
Can Be Raised Easily.
The Perry centennial commission en
gaged the sen-lew of an expert diver
and had the hulk carefully examined.
He reported that it is well preserved
and could be raised easily.
Public spirited citizens of Erie are
endeavoring to have the old vossel
placed In Central park, where It Is pro
posed to erect a suitable building in
which to protect it from tho elements.
One plan is to erect a huge aquarium
in which the vessel can be placed, with
fish of every species found in tho lakes
inclosed with it.
The story of the battle of Lako Erie
will never grow old. How the Niagara
came to be Perry's flagship is graphi
cally told by John Clark Ridpath, tho
historian:
"Tho Lawrence, Perry's flagship, be
gan to suffer dreadfully under the con
centrated fire of the enemy. First one
gun and then another was dismounted.
The masts were broken. The rigging
of tho vessel was rent away. The sails
were torn to shreds. Soon she yielded
no longer to tho wind, but lay helpless
on the water.
"On the deck death held carnival.
The American sailors lay dead and dy
ing on every hand. During the two
hours that Perry faced his antagonist
his men were reduced to a handful.
Entering the action tho Lawrence had
a crow of officers and men numbering
103. Of these by 2 o'clock in the after
noon eighty-three were either dead or
wounded. Still Perry hold out. Oth
ers fell around him until only the com
mander and thirteen others wore left
uninjured.
Hero's Famous Exploit.
"Meanwhile all tho ships had become
engaged, but tho Niagara only at long
range and ineffectively. Elliott, the
captain of that vpssel, perceiving that
resistance from the Lawrence had
ceased, now sailed ahead, believing
Perry had fallen nnd that the com
mand had devolved on himself.
"It was at this Juncture that Perry
resolved upon that famous exploit
which has made bis name immortal.
He pulled down his battleflag, but left
the stars and stripes still floating.
Then, with his brother Alexander and
four of his remaining seamen, ho low
ered himself Into tho boat. He flung
his pennant and battleflag over his
arm and around his person, stepped
Into tho boat, stood upright and order
ed tho men to pull for the Niagara.
"That vessel was more than a half
mile distant. It required tho oarsmen
fully fifteen minutes to make the pas
sage. The boat had to pass in full

exposure to the enemy's guns. The
British at once perceived what was
doing.
"As tho smoke cleared from around
tho hull of the Lawrence they saw the
daring act of the commander, trans
ferring his flag from one ship to an
other. His own vessel was shattered
to death, but there was the Niagara,
hale and strong. Should ho succeed
In making her deck the battle would
be to light over nguln. Victory or de
feat was turning in tho Issue.
Subject For Immortal Canvas.
"The British guns opened on the lit
tle boat. Discharge after discharge
followed. Some of tho shots struck
the frail cockle, and the splinters flew,
but the men were unhurt Perry con
tinued to stand up as a target until
the faithful seamen refused to pull
unless he would sink down to n posi
tion of greater safety."
This is tho scene which Is so dramat
ically shown in W. H. Powell's great
canvas in tho capltol at Washington
and made familiar to millions of Amer
icans through reproductions in steel
engraving, mezzotint and illustration
of school histories. "The Battle of
Lake Erie" was painted by order of
Congress in 1S05 at a cost of $25,000.
The canvas Is thirty-five feet long and
twenty-flvo feet high. The artist dis
played admirable patriotism and lire
in handling the inspiring subject, and
the painting is the most popular In the
capltol collection. Countrywide atten
tion was nttractod to it in 1011, when
tho discovery was made that a vandal
had cut from It a strip three inches
wide and thirty inches long near the
artist's signature.
"The shot from the enemy's guns
knocked the water into spray around
them," continues tho historian, paint
ing his verbal picture, "but the boat
reached the Niagarn In safety, and
Perry was taken up. A moment moro
nnd his battleflag was flying nbove tho
unhurt ship."
Thrilling is the story of how, his foot
upon the deck of the Niagara, his bat
tle flag again flying at tho fore, Perry
swooped like n hurricane down upon
the enemy's line, cut the British fleet
in two right In the middle, three ves
sels on the right, three upon the left,
broadside after broadside on either
hand, death and destruction in his re
sistless wake.
Victory In Half Hour.
Thirty minutes, and all is over. The
brave English commander, Barclay,
hors de combat, his secoud in com
mand, Flunis, killed. Human nnture
could hold out no longer. Down comes
tho British flag. We had met the ene
my and they were ours, "two ships,
two brigs, one schooner and one sloop,"
said Perry in his report to Harrison,
written on tho back of an old letter,
his hat for a desk.
The victor did not in tho elation of
his triumph forget the situation
around him. He caused himself to be
transferred from the still unhurt Ni
agara to tho bloody deck of the Law
rence. There, and not in some other
place, would ho receive the surrender
of tho enemy.
The British officers as they came up
to present their swords had to pick
their way through dead and dying,
slipping in pools of blood as they came.
Perry bade his antagonists retain their
Bwords, his tho chivalry of ono whom
the fortunes of war had given tho pow
er but not the right to humiliate a
fallen foe.
In the silence of the following night
the dead sailors, British and American,
were consigned to their last rest in the
clear waters of Lake Erie. Tho next
day Perry brought back to Put-In-Bay
his own and tho captured fleet. Sail
ing into the harbor, the dead officers of
both commands were burled ou the
shore.
The losses had been very great. On
tho American twenty-seven were killed
nnd ninety wounded this out of a
force of but little moro than 400 effec
tive men. The loss of tho British was
forty-one killed nnd ninety-four wound
ed, the gallant Captain Barclay, who
had already lost an arm, having the
misfortune to lose tho other.

Young Women Lionixe Alleged Noble
man, Then Find He's Cobbler.
"Count" Angelo Suglln of Rome, tall
nnd hnndsome, whoso title was vouch
ed for by a dozen members of St. Jo
seph's Catholic club of New York, was
Idolized by a score of young women of
prominent families, at whose homes he
called within two weeks.
The rivalry among tho girls for u
further acquaintance resulted In the
"count" being overburdened with In
vitations to dinners and entertain
ments. "Tho count Is here for business, not
pleasure." was the invariable excuse of
his clcerones. "He has loft everything
to us, and wo don't wnnt to fatigue
him with too many social attentions."
This contluued until ono night when
the club, which has Its headquarters at
1008 Bathgate avenue, gave a dance.
The announcement that the "count"
would be present attracted a larger
number of pretty girls than over at
tended any of the club's similar func
tions. "Whore Is the 'count?'" dozens of
them asked breathlessly.
The inquiries becamo so numerous
and persistent that President Thomas
B. Taffo mounted the stage and ex
plained:
"I am sorry, girls, that tho 'count'
Is unable to come. The truth is he Is
detained by business. But I am happy
to say he Is not far from here. He Is
across the street. Any of you who
wish to get a glimpse of him can do
so by standing In front of 1003 Bath
gate avenue. That Is where he con
ducts his shoe cobbling shop. He Is a
shoemaker, not a 'count.' You girls
have been fooled."
Several of tho young women hissed.
Others Immediately started out nnd in
a moment were staring In ainnzeinent
at tho "count," who, with t to.n apron,
face and hands soiled, wt-s mending a
shoe In a shop ncross the street.
"Wo wanted to see if our girl friends
would go wild over a foreign noble
man, and we found out they would,"
explained Taffo later.
MAY PATROL ICEBERG ZONE.
Hydrographer Asks Naval Watch For
High Seas.
Tho recommendation that tho navy
patrol tho steamship routes of the
north Atlantic ocean during the ice
berg season Is made by Commander
Georgo F. Cooper, chief hydrographer,
In his annual report for the current
year. Such a patrol was maintained
for two months last summer on the
recommendation of the naval hydro
graphic office by the scout cruisers
Birmingham and Chester, following
the loss, of the Titanic on April 15.
Commander Cooper reviews the cir
cumstances surrounding tho sinking of
tho Titanic and states that his office
has been Instrumental In bringing
about changes In the steamship routes,
owing to the presence of ice far south
of tho usual locations of ico fields.
He says tho branch of the naval
hydrographlc office maintained at New
York has been of great service during
the year. This office has established
recently on the floor of tho Maritime
Exchange a chart on glass of tho north
Atlantic ocean, on which is shown
daily the position of every obstruction
to navigation. Tho chart has been
found so useful that the Philadelphia
exchange has asked for n similar chart,
which will be supplied.
Tho New York office has rendered
excellent service in distributing daily
and nightly tho latest authentic news
of ice and other menaces to naviga
tion. Only lack of men nnd money
prevents this office, Commander Cooper
states, from rendering even greater
services to navigation.
