SOME OF OUR SELF=RELIANT CALIFORNIA BOYS.

If you are a valuable man for others, why not for yourself?

This question seems to have arisen In the minds of many young Californlans to some purpose. Why should It notarise in other young Californian minds?

Capacity for work and the ability to do easily the right thing at the right time are tbe qualities that distinguish the successful man from the unsuccessful man. And these are manifested from tbe lowest grade of labor to the highest.

Of two men with shovels in their hands, one will remain a mere sboveler and drudge all his life, while the other will rise to be a boss and contractor.

Of two clerks with precisely He same opportunities, one will remain behind tho counter or at his desk, while the other will crow Into proprietorship and wealth.

And so, instances in every pursuit in life familiar to all might be multiplied, illustrating how one mau forges ahead of another, both having started from the same post with the same goal In view.

Nor can it be easily told wherein the difference in performance lies, lt not infrequently seems as if the unsuccessful man was the most industrious and busiest man.

His hands are so full that things slip through his fingers and he rushes hither and thither, every moment being occupied. He is apparently so busy that he has no time for anything, and there is no hour of the day he can call his own.

On the other hand, the successful man never appears to be without abundance of leisure. The world-compellers; areueldom In a hurry; for them there is a time for everything.

To a man possessed of patience, perseverance, energy and grit all things are possible. When such a man starts out in life with a determination to accomplish something and goes to work in a deliberate manner, willing to get ahead a step at a time, bein- careful when an upward turn is made to put on the brakes and block the wheels so that there is no slipping back, then he Is sore to succeed.

There are many such Instances among young Californlans who have carved out for themselves a career that is leading them to success and independence.

A reporter of TnE Call yesterday saw some of these successful young Californlans, and their experience should prove an Incentive to every young man who Is possessed of the grit, pluck and determination to prefer a life of Independence to one of drudgery. "I J N. C. WHYTE AND LOUIS DE ROME. N. C. Whyle and Louis de Rome are sole proprietors of the Globe Brass and Bell Foundry and Statuary Works at 126 and

128 Main street. "I was '.born In 1852," said Mr. Whyte, "on my father's ship, which was then used as a storeship and was moored just about where our factory now stands. I was educated in the schools here and served my apprenticeship in the Pacific Iron Works as a practical machinist Then 1 became

foreman in Mix's Novelty Iron Works. This was the first position of responsibility tbat 1 beld, and it in a manner tried my wings and strength. "Tbis period was full of hard work, bnt gave me lets of material for thought. "Here I was, working my level best and potting all my brain into the business of making a fortune for some one else. "Why could I not make a fortune for myself? "About eleven years ago Mr. de Rome and I decided to strike out for ourselves. We had each saved about $400, which was the full extent of our capital.

"We started on a small scale out at the Mission under John Sennet's windmill tank, on Sixteenth street. Then we moved

to the corner of Howard

and Beale streets; but as the place began to get too small for our increasing business we looked out for another stand. "About that time, four years ago, the big tire took place In this neigh-

borhood, which opened

up an opportunity for us

to lease the piece of

property, on which we erected our present three-story brick factory.

"We have recently introduced the casting of bronze statuary, as we determined, as vonng Callfornians, to keep that Industry from going East, and we think we. have made It a success."

"I was born In Buffalo,'* said Mr. de Rome, "thirty-eight years ago, bnt camo here when four years old. I learned the trade of a molder with the California Brass Works. After serving my apprenticeship I worked for W. T. Garratt for nine years, doing heavy work, such as casting, and left to go into business with Mr. Whyte. "I claim that we do a business second to none of its kind In the United States, and it has been worked up entirely by ourselves. Both of us were left poor boys and had no parents' wealth to help us on the road forward.

"There is plenty of scope for young Californlans to make a name for themselves, and I think tbey are just as progressive as anywhere else In the Slates.

"Of course there are difficulties always to be met with at the start, but the true mark of a man's success is in being able to overcome these difficulties."

FRANK S. KELLY.

In the drug business Frank S. Kelly, a young Californlan, has placed himself in a __. m m __i-H ■ ■ _« ■_ — ._.-— —

thing else to the fact that I was always behind the counter myself, and.'was, therefore, always to be found when wanted.

"That is a point that many young men starting out in life seem to overlook, but 1 cannot too strongly emphasize, its importance." W. F. AND 5. HURRAY. "When my brother and I started in business," said Samuel Murray of the Murray Brothers' Machine Works, 252 and 254 Beale street, "our capital was very small. It wasn't more than $300,iwhich he and I bad been able to save out of our wages.

"Bight here I would like to make a point.

-•flow is it that so many workmen remain workmen all their lives? It is simply that they do not form the habit of saving.

"It seems a little thing, but I tell you that the first $1000 or even SSOO saved means the hardest part of the battle very often. y'Jy "My brother W. F., who Is out of the city Just now, served bis apprenticeship

with Devon & Dinsmoro, now the Risdon Iron Works. I served mine with Hawkins & Cantrell.

"Yes, we are both San Francisco boys. W. F. is about 44 years of age and 1 am 39. "We started in our present shops in ISSI determined to succeed, and I think we have done. so. We bave several good patents and are the inventors of five others.

"Our principal business Is in the manufacture of portable hoisting engines, but we manufacture all kinds of machinery.

"Why, we have built three of the nicest tow boats now on the bay. We have worked up a business worth $20,000 now, purely through our own unaided efforts.

"There is ample room for progressive young Californiaus to strike out fot themselves here. My brother and I just made up our minds that we would be far better building up a business for ourselves and reap the benefit from it than helping to build up one for somebody else.

"Oh yes, we have had our ups and downs, but we have always looked on the briaht side of thing;, and that is the secret of many a man's success.

"There are good prospects In Sin Francisco yet, and let me tell you that pluck and perseverance will win every time."

A. T. AND E. B. BADLAM.

The Badlam brothers, A. T. land E. B. were bota out of city on business E. B. botn out of the city on business when the reporter called at their factory 519 Market street. But their father, Alexander Badlam, was seated In the office, and in answer to tbe reporter's inquiries

said:

"Both my boys were born in tbis city. Al the senior partner of the firm, is 29 years of age, and Edgar is 2 _ "The elder boy received his business edu-

cation with the firm of

A. T. Bad lam.

William T. Coleman & Co., while Edgar got his experience in tbe liisdon and Union Iron Works.

"When Edgar was 10 years of age he patented a valuable improvement on steam boilers, from it he has derived a large income.

"About four years ago the two brothers started In business at 114 First street, with capital consisting chiefly of their own brains and energy, but with the prospect of a good Income from the patent. "Here was an instance of largely individual enterprise. "Of course, the boys were not absolutely

without resources and backing. But at the same time their most Important means was r. certain amount of Industry and earnestnesstogether with a more than ordinarily acute inventive talent. "Edgar 13 the inventor and patentee of the Peerless gas - machine, manufactured by the firm. The invention is covered by four differ-

ent patents, overcoming all the objections heretofore existing in tbe generation of gas from gasoline.

"The machine Is already In use in fourteen State Institutions and in many of the leading private residences in this city and other places. "Well, It is perhaps not my place to say anything about the boys' success, as it is well known to busiuess men. "I think, however, It shows what can ba accomplished by a thorough knowledge of the business engaged In and by pluck, energy and strict attention to details."

WALTER N. BRUNT.

In the printing business there are several young Californlans, who have by their own

unaided efforts risen to positions of independence. Perhaps one of the most striking instances In this respect Is Walter N. Brunt of Brunt & Co., -3. Clay street. "I was born in San Francisco," said Mr. Brunt, "in IBeT3. and learned the printing business with J. T. Hughes. JJ

"My business began to increase, however, and I had to remove to more pretentious pre m on Sacramento street and then removed to my present location. . "I don't know whether to call it luck or something else, but the business increased to such an extent that it was formed Into a corporation, but I have since bought them all out and am now sole proprietor. "Yes, I have been very fortunate. I had to. trust to my own individual exertions, and somehow business seemed to come to me.

"I .end society badges and cards all over the East, and have orders from Australia, and even Germany. That speaks for itself. "I employ now on an average between thirty and forty hands, and am kept very busy myself supervising things. That will give you an idea of the extent of my business.

"My Idea has always been that when you tackle a thin., stay with It, even though it should look very black. In time it will materialize Into something good. "My experience has been that if people

see you are getting along, tbey are more disposed to give you a helping hand than if you go about with a long face talking about bad times aDd bad trade.

"My advice to young men starting out In business witb small capital and a brave heart would be to always keep a stiff upper lip."

SAMUEL VALLEAU.

Samuel Valleau of J. K. Brodie & Co., corner of Sacramento and Sansome streets, id: "I was born in San Francisco In

1856. and learned tho printing business with Winterburn & Co. "Before I was 21 years of age Mr. Brodie and I formed a partnership and began the printing and bookbinding business on our own account. Neither of us bad a dollar of capital, and had to borrow enongh money to set the ball rolling. Fortune favored us to such

an extent that we were soon able to pay the money back and begin more extensive operations on the profits out of the business.

"If that isn't beginning the world without any capital I dou't know what the term is.

"We bad confidence in our ultimate success, and that means more than half the battle.

"I have been president of Stanford Parlor of the Native Sons, and perhaps you may not call it an honor, but about six years ago 1 was a member of the Board of Supervisors. I am at present master of King Solomons Lodge of the Masonic order.

"No, Mr. Brodie is not a Native Son, but he came very near being one. "I think there are just as good opportunities now for young men to push their way forward to success in business as there ever have been."

C. C. LEVEY, THEO. NIEHEIER AND CHARLES SCHNORF.

The proprietors of the Union Candy Works, 246 Mi Fourth street, are Native Sons. They are Charles C. Levey, Charles Schnorf and Theodore Niemeier. Mr. Levey is tbe eldest of the three aDd first saw the light of day thirty-six years ago. "J. have worked m\self up," he said, "since I was 12 years of age. From my own savings I started a gents' furnishing store on Kearny street, made money and lost it. "Three years ago with the little capital I had left I started the candy factory

during the dull times at 919 Folsom street and took in Mr. Schnorf and Mr. Niemelcr as partners. Both were then employed In another candy factory, Schnorf as a candy-maker, and Nicmeler as salesman.

"Our stock and furnishings consisted of a barrel of sugar, two counters, a table and a stove.

"I had faith in the ability of my partners and al«o in the people south of Market street, and the result has more than justified the faith that was in me.

"Our wholesale business has been worked up to such a degree as to exceed our greatest expectations and we are now running a couple of retail stores ourse* '.v?*-, besides having three teams constantly on the streets for wholesale trade.

"San Francisco is a progressive town If It Is only handled properly. At least that is our experience."

LOUIS R. DEMPSTER.

"I started cut in life," said Louis R. Dempster of Dempster Bros., corner of Bond street and Glen Park avenue, "as an apprentice to my brother, Clancey. The printing-house was then

on Bond street. "I began by sweeping out tbe oftice, carrying parcels and washing the presses. So you can .ay that I began life with practically nothing in tho shape of capital. "About fifteen years ago my brother took me into partnership, but since then I have acquired sole control of the busiuess.

Louis R. Uen-psttr.

"A few years ago we removed from Bond street to our present location, and it was just about here that the house was situated in which I was born thirty years ago. "It has taken hard work and unremitting attention to bring the business up to its present standing-, but I feel that prospects were never brighter than they are now. "1 employ on an average about twentyfive hands, which shows that a fair share of tho work comes this way. "I had no one to help me with capital, but bad to depend upon myself, lf It had been otherwise perhaps I would have found it easier, but I preferred to be independent of outside aid, and have the satisfaction of knowing that my success could be attributed to myself alone. "I think that Is the proper way, too."

WILLIAH A. JOHNSTON.

William A. Johnston of the Union Wire Works, 715 and 717 Mission street, bears his years well. He looks almost a lad yet.

although he was born in this city twenty-eight years ago. In answer to The Call reporter's questions be said: "I served my apprenticeship with the California Wire Works and afterward worked as a journeyman for D. W. Wass. "Five years ago I started this business in the flat upstairs in a

small way. My capital consisted of what I bad been able to save out of my wages at a journeyman, "1 saw other young fellows striking out for themselves in'other trades and made up my. mind that I couldn't do better than follow their example.

"The business increased to such an extent that two years ago 1 formed a partnership with Charles E. Doherty, who also served bis apprenticeship with the California Wire Works. Like myself, be is a native son. and is two years my senior.

"The success of the business is entirely due to our own efforts. You can find plenty of native eons who bate saved a little money and started in business for themselves just as we have done. "When a young fellow has only himself to look to for his success or non-success It Is apt to bring Into play all tbe energy and grit that be is possessed of, and In my opinion it Is all the better for him."

H. BIRD AND J. C. HAUGHY.

Another striking evidence of the success of young Californlans is in the California Saw Works, 213-215 Mission street, between Beale and Main. The partners are H. Bird and J. C.

Haughy, both not having yet seen thirty summers pass over their heads.

Both partners we're in their office when the reporter called.

"I am a native of this city," said Mr. Bird, "and Mr. Haughy came here when he was quite young. We were both apprentices with the Pacific Saw Manufacturing Company of this city and continued with them till we made up our minds to strike out on our own account.

"We started in business in 1886 with only a few hundred dollars' capital, which we had been able to save from the small earnings we were making.

"We had to depend upon our own unaided efforts, and I think neither of us has cause to feel despondent over the result. "We began in a small way in the manufacture of saws, but now we manufacture planing knives and other articles, and the business is steadily developing. "About our success? Well, we are modest in that way and don't care to say much, but the business can speak for itself.

"Young Californlans are just as enterprising and progressive as you will find them.

"It is nonsense to say that there is no field here for young men who want to strike out for themselves. On the contrary there is plenty of scope for any young man possessed of a little capital and plenty of push and energy."

Mr. Haughy corroborated this latter statement with emphasis and agreed with all that his partner had said.

HIS FIRST SERMON.

A New Theological Star Has Arisen. The Grandson of the Venerable Bishop Kip Preached for the First Time in Grace Church. Grace Cburch was filled yesterday morning with the usual devout and attentive congregation. The occasion was a special one, for the grandson of (he first Bishop of the diocese, William Ingraham Kip. who has been recently raised to the deaconate in the church ny the last episcopal act of his aged grandfather, was to preach his first sermon as a minister of the church. >i> .

No especial decorations signal-zed the event, but all seemed Impressed with the solemnity which attended a day of such import to one- whose whole after life is to be devoted to the uplifting of his fellowmen.

The service was of the usual character for the morning, out included the litany, which was read by the rector of the church. Rev. __ C. Foute, in au especially fervid manner. Neither was the music different from that of ordinary Sundays, though the siugers were seemingly inspired with the importance of the occasion and sang with more than cemmon sweetness _ d affecting cadence. H. M. Bosworth. the organistplayed as a processional Sellg's "Inspiration," and for the offertory Arthur Messmer Bang with great taste and feeling Faure's "Chßrlty."

As the last verse of the hymn, was sung th* young preacher sank upon his knees in silent prayer for a few moments and then with great self-possession ascended th*» pal. pit and gave out his text from psalm 06 and part of the ninth verse, "O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." The sermon descanted upon the inspiration worship affords to higher things, and enlarged upon this theme with great art and beauty of language. The preacher referred to the successive acts which had marked his progress from childhood to manhood— baptism, confirmation and ordination, and of the associations which cling with so great fervor to the church in which he was now addressing for the first time. "The worship of Cod was an Inspiration to higher tilings. No perfection of character could b-- attained without tbe knowledge and love of the divine which springs in the heart of the christian by perseverance In holy thoughts and actions," were the expressions of leading thoughts. ltwas evident before the brief sermon was concluded that a new theological star had arisen. Mr. Kip is eloquent and his gestures are appropriate and .racolul. . His delivery is marked by perfect self-possession, and is clear and distinct. His language is fluent and well chosen and the promise of tbe first sermon indicated that a man of brains, scholarship, eloquence, earnestness and piety had been added to the Episcopal church In California. v

BASEBALL IN OAKLAND.

The Oaklands Defeat the Morons in

Eleven Innings. Five hundred people assembled at the Piedmont grounds in Oakland yesterday afternoon to witness tho game of ball between the Mi tens of the Central League and the Oaklands of the California League. Tho day was perfect and the boys seemed in fine form.

Nolan and Parker constituted the battery for the Moran*», while Homer and Lange filled the same positions for the O.tklands for six iuning?. when Hoffman entered the box In Homer's stead. Long bite and wild throws were numerous, but the game was an interesting one and the audience watched it throughout without a murmur of discontent, although it took eleven innlncs to settle the contest. The features of the game were the running catches , of Donovan and Van Haltren. 1 he following is a record of the game a.d the score: at riKDUOXT cßoi-Mii, i>K-K_n-R 18 ISO. ■0-4 M „._,. b. _„„. ... - I Blul-. ...6 3 '- 1 _** *• *• C V*n li-itreo. 3b.

Caricatures of Christianity.

Rev. J. Q. A. Henry of the First Baptist Church preached last evening the Erst of a series of sermons on "Caricatures of Christianity." Mr. Henry in his sermon made an onslaught on the various Isms, which he stated were offeied as substitutes for Christ. Among these he mentioned mysticism, asceticism Romanism, formal'sm scholasticism, positivism, altruism and' Individualism, which latter he referred to as the most modem of all paganisms. He said all these various beliefs repelled men Instead of drawing them 10 Christ and salvation. The only ■ Ism which counted for any religious vitality was Puritanism, and thee world was In danger of losing that.

AT MARE ISLAND.

Pennies Not Wanted by the Employes. WORK ON OLD WAR VESSELS. Probable Movements of the New Commander—Personal Notes of . - Interest. Correspondence or The Morning Call. *■_; --■<■. ... - - ::■-■ -.■.-..: ;**-;%■.*. ."-.-■■ Vallejo, Dec. 18.— Strange as it may sound and appear more than 500 children on last Monday night saw for the first time the smallest piece of United States money in use. It was pay day nt the navy-yard, and 600 or COO men had obt.ined their semimonthly wages. Paymaster Skeldlng, recently attached to the yard, paid off. In the little brown envelope, where the change 1 to be given was odd, each man received the amount in pennies or 1-ct-nt pieces, and from as low as one to as high as four of these funny looking little copper coins were found. Mauy of the workmen themselves had never before seen the like of them, and wondered what they were good for. " Some shied them at a passing bird, others pitched them at a marK, others tossed them up with "a head I win and tails you lose" sort of expression, others tucked them away in their jumper pocket to take home to the children, while some, not being blessed with such tender little offerings, laid them snugly away in the corner uf their vest pocket to wait for Sunday to roll round, and with a quiet, peaceful, sanctimonious look drop one of them iuto the contribution-box, with the thought 4 cents saved, a nickel heretofore being the extent of their liberality in that respect. No! it would meet the wishes of the workman, the merchant and the deacon better if the penny system so recently inaugurated were discontinued. '1 he men say they do not care to be bothered with such small pieces. Heretofore, where the change was odd up to two cents, bo received the lowest, and up to three cents the paymaster got the overplus but in the course of the year it evened itself up pretty Weil. The Bcnrd of Waives will he convened in a few days, for the purpose of arranging a schedule of wages to be paid during the coming quarter. As the rate of iate has not been changed in Sin Fraucisco, where the members go for their information, it is not at all likely there will be many radical changes made. A board of officers appointed by the Secretary of the Navy is in session, examining applicants for the position of foreman plumber. Several gentlemen appeared before tho board and explained what they knew about plumbing required on board of men-of-war. After the applicants have been examined the members of the board will report to the Secretary their opinion as to the one best qualified for the position. The appointment is then made usually upon tho recommendation of the board.

Many of the officer- and their families visited the city last week, and sill others are going this coming week for tho purpose ot purchasing their presents for Christmas: It is the usual custom at the yard to have a large Christmas tree set up in one of the buildings, usually the .all loft, and all the residents gather and spend a pleasant evening. This year will be no exception to the geneial rule, as the mater is being quietly talked of. and many dainty little souvenirs are already made and laid by for hanging on the tree. A programme is being prepared, in which a number of tho young people will participate. Tbe Ranger came out of the dock a few days a_o and was hauled up alongside the wharf. Her repairs will be completed as soon as possible. With her fresh coat of white paint she looks as neat and trim as one would wish for.

The Muuaduock's sides are being given a coat of brown paint that has greatly improved her appearance on the outside. It will not be long now before she is hauled up undei tbe big shear.*, and as her boilers and machinery are being put in and s-et up, it will then begin to look in reality that she is fast approaching the state to make her an engine ot war and destruction. Her guns at Washington are nearly completed, and if required could be gotten hereon short notice. The apartments In the superstructure are fast near ing completion and there is but little more work for the shipliiters to do. Three of her boats are well under way In the boatslmp, and from appearance they have not only fine lines but ore well made and substantial.

Lieutenant J. H. C. Coffin, TJ. S. S,, arrived at the yard Friday morning from the East looking well after his journey. He will now remain at the island for some time. It will be remembered that Lieutenant Coffin was sent to -.anion for the purpose of making the necessary soundings for the building of an iron wharf. Bids have already been asked for to be opened uext month. It is understood that eight or ten c ( mpinies will bid, two being from -.an Francisco. All of the piling Is to be of iron. Work is to be commenced as soon as the bid is awarded and the necessary pap are mule out. lt has not yet bt-en formally announced who is the officer to be delaileel togo down to superintend the construction of ihe wharf, as it Is not a desirable duty. The consequence is tl.ero are but few applicants for the honor.

Admiral J. S. Sk<>rrett, United States navy, the new commander ot the Pacilic Squadron, will lemvee Wa-Bjfl£tOß for the const the Sist of the month, lie will stop over In Chicago, also in Ohio, for the purpose of visiting relatives nnd friend--, arriving here about Jauuary 10. Hi> flagship, the Mohican, will be reaely about that time. From here she will undoubtedly sail for Honolulu.

Paymaster 11. G. Colby, U. S. N\. Is expected to arrive soon from the Marios, he having been invalided home. Mrs. Colby went out to China by one of the last steamers to meet him. Paymaster Colby will be welcomed back home, he being one of the most popular officers that has ever been at the Island. It Is hoped by nil that upon his convalescence he will be assigned to duty here. Lieutenant Commandei E. C. Pendleton, U. S. N., executive officer of the Monterey, came M to the yard from Sun Francisco last week and inspected tbe crew of that ship, who are now on board of the receivingship. A number of the pet; officers will be sent out from New York as will also several of the seaman-gunners. Paymaster John C. Sullivan, U. S. N.. of the Mohican, if Ik- does not go out a*< fleet paymaster, may le ordered to the receivingship Vermont at the Brooklyn yard. Assistant Paymaster Ryan, having been detached from that ship and ordered to the Brooklyn yard, it leaves an opening for Paymaster Sullivan. Paymaster J. B. R*difleld will soon be detached from th«j Independence and ordered East. Paymaster A. W. Bacon will como to the yarn about January IG as general storekeeper. As Pay Inspector G. W. Beanian is to be dataojpd on the .'list Inst, the duties pertaining to that office will be filled by Paymaster Skelding until tbo arrival of Paymaster Bacon. •. ... Ensign G. H. Barrage, U. S. N., Is to come to the Independence, and Ensign F. L. Bacon has been granted a three months' leave of absence 1 10111 the 2d of January. Lieutenant Charles W. Jungen, U. S. N., and his talented wife entertained our people one evening last week at the entertainment given under tbo auspices of the ladies' guild, connected with the Church of the Ascension. They are always welcomed and heartily received in our community. Considerable work is belug gotten out in the sail and rigging loft for the Ranger. Monterey and Alliance. The work fur the latter ship will be sent down to her at Samoa. . The Thetis sailed from tbe yard Monday morning last for the lower coast to engage in survey duty. It may be a year before she returns. ■ . The Albatross Is expected to go Into dock before long. A large force of mechanics are at work on her boilers and machinery. Her two Herreshoff -team-launches are also undergoing repairs. One of them has the peculiarity that, carrying her propeller amidships, the screw can be worked directly at right angles with the keel or moved paralled with it, so that In heavy weather the wheel will always be submerged. The other launch Is of the usual model. These launches are equipped with all kinds of apparatus for the capture of cetaceous which include genera nionodon, bniena, physeter and delphinus. These fish have no gills, but on aperture In the lop of the head, and a flat or horizontal tall. They are also well equipped for tha taking of furbearing animals. The Albatross was built for the special purpose of gathering and preserving sea fish, and visits various localities and engages in deep-sea dredging. She is of Iron and 200 feet long, and .7 feet 9 inches beam and 10 feet 9 indies depth, and fitted with all the latest Improvements and appliances for deop-sea dredging, including patent dredgers and miles of wire rope. The winding-engine is run by the steam-en-gines, and the steel rope, after being paid out. Is wound up by a reeling-engine worked on the lower deck, provided by an automatic engine devised by her captain, Lieu- , tenant-Commander Z. L. Tanner, U. S. N., whose experience has made him most proficient In tbo matter of deep-sea dredging. and trawling. The Albatross Is fitted with

two laboratories one on* the upper deck, amidships, and the other immediately under this. ' In the laboratories all the microscopic work is carried out and preparations made. The best arrangements have also been made for the. use of taxidermists. . Everything on hoard of the Albatross is fitted with the best of its kind, and all on board are happy and contented -with their seafaring life as well as the interesting study connected therewith. She will remain with us until some time in March and then leave for the north to seek other fine specimens of rare species of the Inhabitants of deep waters. . .** Assistant Surgeon L. L. Young, 17. S.-N.. has, been detached from the Mohican and ordered to tbo Pints to relieve Assistant Surgeon L. 11. Stone, TJ. S. N., who has been ordered East and given a month's leave. Lieutenant J. IT. Uetberlngton. TJ. S. N.. is to come out as a watch officer attached to the flagship Mohican. Many regrets have been expressed here that the Union Iron Works people were not successful In securing one of the new bat-tle-ships to build. it is still hoped there will be some way found clear to enable the contract to be awarded to them. While the yard has not been successful in obtaining a cruiser or even a little gunboat to build our officers and workmen are not unmindful of the fact that every cruiser that to far has been built at ban Francisco has been the means of giving a vast amount of labor to tne yard, and this means thousands and thousands of dollars distributed in our homes. The class of work that has been done on them has been a valuable school of Instruction. After the yard Is fully equipped with machinery and necessary buildings for housing it it only remains for Congress to appropriate the money and oider to build there and a ship will be turned out that for workmanship caunol be excelled.

Captain John A. Ilowell, TJ. S. N., at present chairman of the Steel Inspection Board, it is reported, will be assigned to the command of the Washington Navyyard. Passed Assistant Engineer Ira N. llolHs, so well known here, is to read a paper on "The economy of auxiliary machinery on war vessels, as effecting the most economical rate of speed," on the 22d before the American Society of Naval Engineers. Bear Admiral George Brown, TJ. S. N., will remain here uutil about the l.th of January and then start for the East. - « ; ; 'J he Adams arrived at the yard Saturday at 4v. m. An Inspection ill be inado as to her condition and the necessary amount of repairs to be done to her. She will go at once on the drydock. "->■ Captain J. It. Bartlett, TJ. S. N., one of tho officer** who came from the East as a member of the court-martial, was taken dangerously ill the day after his arrival with every symptom of pneumonia. Captain Bartlett is at the residence of his brother. Major 11. A. Bartlett, U. S. M. C„ where every attention that can be bestowed is being given him. From present appearances the trial In* progress will be completed Monday evening or Tuesday morning next. Ensign George P. Blow, U. S. X., secretary to Admiral Brown, left the yard Saturday for San Francisco. He will go to Washington to prepare a hydrographic exhibit for the World's Fair. ..-> y.i>„

A CHICAGO SCULPTOR.

The Excellent Work Being Done by a Talented Women.

New York itecoi.er.

The lifelike marble bust of Mrs. Potter Palmer that is to occupy a prominent position in the woman's building at the World's Fair is the work af a Chicago woman. Her name is Mrs. Ellen Raukin Copp, and she stands easily first in the little band of women sculptors whose chiseling will be a a feature of the plastic treasures in the various World's Fair buildings. Mrs. Copp will be represented by "Maternity; or, the Nation's Strength," as sbe herself calls the heroic female, figure that is growing under her hands. This Is to adorn the rotunda of the Illinois State building In the grounds, and form one in a

-Ira Ellen lt.i-._tn Copp.

series In which ihe attributes of woman are set forth. Another effort of Mrs. Copp will be seen in the statue of the Aucry Goddess, which Is to be a prominent feature of th« fnctde of the Hawaiian qtiilding in the Midway Ptaiaflnec. Two years ago Sirs. Copp carried off the Art Institute medal for sculpture, beine the first Chicago woman to adopt the plastic art an a profession and the only pupil to secure the Institute award for sculpture. Mrs. Cupp's ambition Is boundless. From the beginning she has shown the true Indication of talent In all the efforts she has completed. Her motto is that of her direct ancestor. Davy Crockett. "Be sure you're right, then go ahead." Anether distinguished ancestor was Thomas Huston, and she gets the Rankin in her name from her paternal grandfather, Rev. John Rinkln of abolition fame. In 1833

Maternity, or tbe N_*i.>_'_ Strength.

he made the American Abolition Society of New lork City a thorough organization, and it is a fact that his spirit prompted the effective work of Garrison, Phillips and Lovejoy. Harriet Beecher Stowe found the material for her "Uncle Tom's Cabin" In the Ohio home of Rev. Mr. Rankin, and a great part of the story was written within Its walls. Several portrait busts now owned in Chicago testify to Mrs. Copp's capabilities in this direction. Among them are those of the late E. S. Stickney, Governor Fifer, Thomas Armstrong of Pittsbur. and the late Leonard Swett. In the ideal, Mrs. Copp has done some charming things, her meet attractive achievement.aside from"Maternity," being a statue entitled "LaCinalee." "Rachel Mourning for her Children," "Hiawatha." several panels in both high and low relief and a score of medallions afford a wldo range of subject for treatment, and all bear the stamp of true artistic spirit. Mrs. Coop's age is anything between 30 and 40. She is slightly below medium height, with a frank, bright face, framed in wavy hair of dark brown.
