IN Destruction of the Frigate Philadelphia One of the Glorious Memories of the American Navy--Capt. Bainbridge's Misfortune. Tbe breaking up of tbe cruiser Philadelphia because the cost of re­ pairing her would represent too great a percentage of her value, and her be­ ing fitted up for a receiving ship, re­ calls three other vessels bearing the aame of Philadelphia, which figured in the history of the country. The first, the ill fated thirty-six gun frigate Philadelphia, which was wrecked by running on a shoal off Tripoli, while chasing a corsair; the second, a gon­ dola, under command of Capt. Grant, sunk with others of Arnold's fleet in Lako Champlain; the third, a steamer taken into the service of the navy, and used in a resurvey of the Potomac river at & time when Washington was almost cut off ffom communication with the loyal north by land or water. The wreck of the frigate Philadelphia during the war with Tripoli opened one of the brightest pages in Ameri­ can naval history. On Oct. 31, 1803, the frigate, Capt. Bainb ridge, started in pursuit of a corsair, trying to steal into the port of Tripoli. The corsair sought the shelter of the reefs, with whose openings her dommander was familiar, and Capt. Bainbridge pur­ sued, taking soundings as the vessel bowled along. Suddenly the water be­ gan to shoal, and the vessel was at once turned toward *he open sea, but she was inside the reef and struck upon it while going at the rate of eight knots an hour. Every effort was made to back her, while the enemy's gun­ boats opened upon the stranded ship; but the tide ebbed, the vessel keeled over, and nothing more could be done, even for her defense. The magazine was flooded, the pumps disabled, holes were bored in the ship's bottom, and then Capt. Bainbridge and his crew, in all 315 men, surrendered. Two days later a strong wind from the north piled up the waters, and the Tripoli- tans succeeded in getting the ship off the reef, and, having patched her up would have Interfered with Decatur c plans, and in the end came near to preventing his escape. The Ameri­ cans, however, took the hawser from the Tripolitans under the pretense that they would use it as desired. In the meantime the men lying down on the deck were pulling with a will £t the hawser leading to the forechains. While they were still some yards from their foal the enemy discovered that the ketch had her anchors, and a man was sent to the forechains to cut the haw­ ser, an instant later the men were seen pulling at the hawser, and the alarm was given, " Amerl- kano! Amerikano!" There was no time to be lost; the ship's crew was in confusion, and before they could re­ cover the Americans had boarded. The Turks fled in dismay as the Stephen Decatur. and recovered the guns and anchors that had been thrown overboard, the Bashaw soon had the Philadelphia, a thirty-six gun frigate, added to his navy, while her officers and men were confined in filthy dungeons Mr. N. C. Nissen, the Danish consul at Tripoli, befriended the American prisoners and through his aid Capt. Bainbridge was able to communicate with the American fleet and suggested the destruction of the Philadelphia as she lay at anchor in the harbor. Stephen Decatur, Jr., then in command of the Enterprise, proposed to Capt Edward Preble thfet he should under­ take the task. He had a rival in Lieut. Charles Stewart, but Decatur was chosen and began preparations for the dangerous task. He had captured a Tripolitan ketch called the Mastico, and it was determined that he should enter the harbor in this vessel, which would excite less suspicion than an American rigged schooner. A picked crew of sixty-two men was put on board, together with a dozen young officers, Including Decatur, who was then 24 years old, and Midship­ men Thomas McDonough, 20 years old and James Lawrence, a lad of 16. On the 16th of February, the wind being favorable, the Mastico was head­ ed for the harbor, with the Siren in at­ tendance outside to help rescue the crew in case of need. The night was clear and starlit, and as the Mastico •ntered the harbor the Philadelphia ly Richard Dale. Americans swarmed over the sides o» crawled through the port holes, many of them jumped overboard, some were drowned, and those who remained of­ fered feeble resistance. The work had been carefully planned, and each offi­ cer set about his task at once. In ten minutes after Midshipman Morris reached the deck a rocket was sent up to notify the Siren that the Philadel­ phia had been captured. Combustibles were passed up from the ketch, and each boat's crew set fire to the part of the ship assigned to it The ship was ablaze from stem to stern when Decatur ordered a return to the Mastico, and the little vessel had swung off clear, when he Jumped into her shrouds, being the last man to leave the Philadelphia. The Mastico got away from the burning frigate in safety, but she still had to pass the batteries along shore and the Tripoli- tan gunboats. The men took to the sweeps and rowed for life in an effort to get out of range. The Mastico was a fair mark in the illuminated harbor, but the Turks were too much excited to do any damage. One shot passed through her topgallant sail, but that was the only hurt she received. The Philadelphia was a mass of flames, illuminating the harbor and the white walled city beyond; from time to time her guns were discharged, and at last the flames having reached her magazine, there was a' terrific explo­ sion, and t)ie Philadelphia disappeared forever. A Giant of the Deep. The American Museum of Natural History in New York has just come Into possession of what is believed to be the largest whale ever exhibited on land. It is a female finback, sixty-eight and one-half feet in length. Its body, in life was thirty feet in circumfer ence. It is estimated that at least fifty men could be enclosed within the inte­ rior of this gigantic animal. Th« full grown right whale, which is the species usually hunted for its blubber and whalebone, averages from forty- five to fifty feet only in length. The whale whose skeleton is to adorn th« museum was washed ashore dead, neai Forked river, New Jersey. Scientific theory avers that the ancestors of the whales were terrestrial or land mam­ mals, which gradually became aquatic in their way of living. William Bainbridge. lng at anchor under the guns of the Bashaw's castle could be dimly seen in the distance. Decatur's plan was to foul the Philadelphia at her bow, where his vessel would not be exposed to her guns, and to board her at once. At 10 o'clock the Mastico was challenged by a sentinel on the frigate. Decatur ^Stood beside Salvatore Catalano, the pilot, and directed his movements. The pilot said that the ketch had just arrived from Malta, and, having lost her anchors in the recent gale, de­ sired permission to make fast to the frigate's cables. While the pilot kept np the conversation the Mastico was Bearing the ship's cables, but at a critical moment a light puff of air from the south set her aback, and she was soon exposed to the frleafe's broadside. It was a trying moment, but Decatur, with great coolness, turned the Mastico for the forechains, and sent out a boat with a hawser to make fast. The Turks also had sent out a hawser, intending to make tie batch test te tfc* frigate's starm. This A Lady Ship Doctor. Mile.

Three tame bears, which were given pepper in a summer garden at Wilkes- barre, Pa., four years ago by Edward Carter, remembered their pain and fright, and recently fought to get at him. He had not been in the garden since and his beard had been short­ ened, but when he again came near the bears' cage the animals recognized him, and, growling furiously, they' strove to get at him, causing such ex­ citement that he had to leave the gar­ den. It was some time before ther were quieted. WOULD GET HIM,.

Hook and line were of no use in the seething mass, so the fishermen used 'the gaff and fork, filling their boats with the finny beauties in short order. But Mountaineer Was Willing First to Try Conciliation. t Donald T. Warner of Salisbury, ac­ tive In Connecticut politics, has a mountain shack in Northwestern Con­ necticut, In the town of Washington, which is cared for by Col. Ellsworth Sedam, a peculiar character of the town. Recently when a party of his guests, principally lawyers from New York, started for the camp, they met the Colonel at the trail. He immedi­ ately began a tale about how uncom­ fortable he had been through the win­ ter. Warner suggested that the Colo­ nel move into a more pretentious house known as the Smith place. "Well, Mr. Warner, Smith allows he's got some claim on that property; yes he does, Mr. Warner, though you say you own It," said the Colonel. "That's all right," said Warner; "you just go and tell Smith to give you the keys. If he doesn't do it, you break in." Now, the Colonel has taken on re­ ligion recently, professing the Chris­ tian Science faith, that body having been holding revival meetings in the town of Washington lately. His vo­ cabulary of profanity heretofore has been as voluminous as it is pictur­ esque. The Colonel is also a believer in typewritten letters, for he said: "I don't want to get in no trouble with Smith, Mr. Warner; really I don't. You just send him one of those printed kind of letters, Mr. Warner, such as Jesus would write." The mountaineer uncouthness came upon him then strongly, and he added, "and if that don't do the business, Mr. Warner--damn him, I'll go out and shoot him full of holes!"--New York Times. Wanted to Please Him. A French correspondent who has been traveling in Turkey tells an amusing story of the high authorities in Salonica. It came to their knowl­ edge that the representative of an im­ portant Paris newspaper (which may here be called La Journee) was on his way to Salonica, and that he had been instructed to record precisely what he heard and saw. Immediately the au­ thorities sent for a hundred copies of La Journee, and when the correspon­ dent at last arrived, he was amazed to see Turks squatting on doorsteps, in shops, wherever he went, with their eyes fixed upon a copy of La Journee!

I know Peruna to be the best medicine on the market for the diseases peculiar to women."--Miss Nellie Curtain. Nothing is so weakening to the human system as the constant loss of mucus. Catarrhal inflammation of the mucus membrane produces an excessive forma­ tion of mucus. Whether the mucus mem­ brane be located in the head or pelvic organs, the discharge of mucus is sure to occur. This discharge of mucus constitutes a weakening drain; the system cannot long withstand the loss of mucus, hence it is that women afflicted with catarrhal affections of the pelvic organs feel tired and languid, with weak back and throbbing brain. A course of Peruna is sure to restore health by cutting off the weakening drain of the daily loss of mucus. An Admirable Tonic. Congressman Mark H. Dunnell, National Hotel, Washington, D. C., writes : "Your Peruna being used by myself and many of my friends and acquaintances not only as a cure for catarrh but also as an admirable tonic for physical recuperation, I gladly recommend it to all persons re­ quiring such remedies."--Mark H. Dunnell. If you do not derive prompt and satisfac­ tory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statfl* ment of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
