Md., who bad distingutsh- ed himself In the battle of Lake Erle, was In command at the Boston navy Captain Elliott was an enthu- yard 'silastic heey most tably re- ceived, and Captain Elliott conceived the idea of placing a figure of the president at the prow of the Constitu- tion, believing that It would give the people of Boston much pleasure. The navy department gave bim permission, and so a wooden figure of "Old Hick- ery" was put in position on the ship. This act raised a storm of dissent fm the IMub, and Captain Elliott was threatened with a coat of tar and feathers. The excitement was intense, and the language was virulent. Hand- bills denouncing the act, denouncing the president and Elliott were circulat- ed In the streets, and the newspapers 'took up the cry, and In this day and generation tle partisan violence and vituperation which raged in New Eng- Jand are Inconcelvable. On a dark night in July the deck of the ship was invaded, and, although a sentry was close at hand, the head of Jackson was sawed off and taken away. New England was delirious, and for a time the perpetrator of the act was unknown to the public. Six months later one Samuel W. Dewey, a Boston sen captain, took the dissevered head in a bag to the secre tary of the navy at Washington and avowed himself as the criminal. That officinl was amazed at the man's au dacity and asked him If he did not know that he would be severely pun fshed. Dewey calmly replied that be bad considered the matter and bad as- certained that the legal penalty was slight and could not be applied until be was convicted by a jury in Essex county, Mass. "And If you think a jury In that county," he added, "will punish a man for cutting off the head of Andrew Jackson you are welcome to try it." The secretary went to the White Ilouse for instruction, while Dewey was detained. General Jackson laugh- ed heartily ant the whole incident and forbade the man's arrest. Before this Captain Elliott had provided a new bead for the figure, and the wooden statne of Jackson that is now at An- mpapolis was at the prow of the vessel for forty years. © Captain Elliott's last voyage on the Constitution was from the Mediterra- pean to Hampton Roads in 1838. Here {he was removed from command be- | cause of charges of severity to the men and of having incumbered the berth deck of the ship on the home- | ward voyage with jackasses for the | improvement of the breed in the Unit- !ed States. The Constitution finally went out of commission for active service at Portsmouth, N. H, after a | career of pearly fifty-eight years in the service.

In 1865 she was returned to Annapo- lis, where she remained until 1871, | when she was taken to Philadelphia, | where she was again rebuilt In 1878 | she was used to transport exhibits to France for the Paris exposition of 1878, and her career at sea finally ended In 1881.

PLAYED PRACTICAL JOKE. Competitors For Limerick Prizes Hoaxed at St. Kitts. Some practical joker put up a cruel x on a lot of people at Bt. Cath- ies recently, and now he is being sought with axes by the outraged vic- A series of telegrams were de- livered to various persons around town, notifying them that they had won the leading prizes in the Lipton Limerick contest. The telegrams were ou the regular forms of the telegraph companies, and looked genuine en- ough, being signed by Septimus Lip- ton. Nobody thought of questioning the genuineness of the messages, an they brought joy to a lot of hearts. The victims had been selected with an eye to the artistic, being pretty well spread throughout the leading mercantile houses of the city. The joker apparently knew just where the telegrams would do most good Everybody was congratulating the lucky ones who had managed to bag $100 and $50 prizes, and it was decid- edly amusing in the light of after events to listen to the confident air with which the fortunate "winners" recited the particular lines they be- lieved had won the money. The py delusion didn't last long. The first rift occurred when two mu- tual friends produced separate tele- grams to show that they had both won the second prize of $50. After look- ing mystified for a moment or two they began to ask questions.
