TRAINING THE SEAMEN 1 HOW THE RECRUITS FOR THE AMERICAN NAVY ARE BROKEN IN. The Exercise and Drillx-I.Kp on I Boitrtl a Receiving- Ship—The Demand for Higli-Claxa Men.

New York Evening Poet. A visit to the receiving ship Vermont at the Brooklyn navy yard inclines one at first to tho view that the life of a newlyenlisted bluejacket in the United States service is a round of frolic, tobacco, and meals, tempered by occasional calls to duty in tho form of drills that are little more than light exercise. The men who have seen service and the apprentices, waiting for assignments to tho various vessels after having passed through the training-ship period, find time rather heavy on their hands, and look forward to being drafted. To the raw recruits it all appears novel enough, for they regard their surroundings with unaccustomed eyes, and to them the lightest duty seems arduous because .of its unfamiliarity. In the matter of recruits, the navy is having some trouble just now to tind men that answer its needs and requirements. It has always been particular, and lias been no less so in the present emergency, until Friday of this week, although it has had the immediate task of mantling the two former Brazilian ships, the New Orleans and Albany, the cruisers Minneapolis and Columbia, tho dispatch boats Dolphin and Mayflower, and others, and is, at the same time, under the necessity of looking after its ordinary duty of filling tho places of men whoso terms of enlistment have expired. Thero is no lack of raw material; indeed, the trouble lies in its being too raw. Applicants for the class known as “landsmen” are numerous; but these, as the name implies, have had no actual experience on the sea, either in the military or merchant service. Experience counts quite as much here as in the callings of civil life, and Is paid for at a rate higher than mere inclination can command. The classes in greatest and almost exclusive demand for the moment at the office of the. Vermont, as at other naval recruiting stations, are those of machinists and sfeamen. In the demand for the former is found, strange to say, the reason why they are difficult to secure. Openings for their services in factories and machine shops on shore in a time of preparation like the present are brought about by naval activity, and since land occupations have their own advantages, as well as greater nay, they are naturally preferred. STRICT EXAMINATION. A candidate for enlistment as a machinist must have been one in civil life, but is nevertheless put through a rigid examination to test his knowledge of tools and shop work, and is required also to display some fumiliarity with marino engines and boilers. It is prescribed that the former examination be made in the machine shops of the yard and the latter in the engine room of tho ship. A man who has had no sea experience is assigned ,to the second class and paid S4O per month, while one year’s previous work in the engine room at sea entitles him to be put in the first class, with pay at the rate of $55 per month. An ordinary seaman is one who has had at least two years’ serv - ice at sea, and is examined, in addition to the usual points of age, citizenship and Intelligence, in reefing, splicing, knotting, etc., and is paid sl9 per month. A seaman is supposed to have had four years’ sea service, and is closely examined In seamanship, receiving $24 per month when accepted. No recruits are kept on board the receiving ship longer than is absolutely necessary, because this means expense and outlay without adequate return in service; and receiving ships, at best, are not suited to the training and drilling necessary to the proper education of a ship’s crew. This is done, for apprentices, at the Newport training station and on board such school ships as the Essex and Alliance; after which they are returned to the receiving ships for distribution among the vessels in commission. These boys find quite as much pleasure and happiness in their schooldays as do boys generally, and meet with the usual vicissitudes in the way of punishment and commendation. , , “I’ve been in ‘the brig' twice already, and I don’t want to go there any more, announced one lad, whose assignment to the cruiser Minneapolis had made him the center of an admiring group of fellows. T.he brig?’ Oh, ‘the brig’ is where they put you when you’ve been disobeying orders or overstaying your leave. It’s what you call a cell, and it ain’t much fun. either Ive been drafted now, and I’m going to be the ship’s ‘good boy.’” .... “Where did you get Into the habit of cigarette smoking?” . ... ... “Oh, we dont’ have to get in the habit, It just comes natural. We ainlt allowed to do it until we come to the receiving ship, but a fellow isn't watched all the time. On board ship they won’t let us smoke cigarettes, but we can smoke pipes at meal times, and I guess that’s about as good. ON A RECEIVING SHIP, The apprentices are at present much the larger element in the life of the Vermont, and this is indicated to the visitor by the tear-stained faces of the women coming and going. The boys are a good-humored, lighthearted lot. They are allowed to see their friends and members of their families aboard, and are often given the liberty of tho yard when their parents or guardians are there to accompany them. It is understood, however, that the government assume?. actual guardianship over them in all things from the time of their enlistment until they are twenty-one years of age, and so. these privileges are granted only at the option of the commanding officer. Life on board, barring the monotony of routine, is very pleasant. There is always a band at the station to furnish music on the spardeck for nimble feet and appreciative ears, and a piano is part of the ship’s regular equipment; such modest, but serviceable, instruments as harmonicas, accordions and jewsharps seem to be found in every nook and corner when occasion requires and the hour permits. During the evening gymnastic exercises are allowed, and are perhaps indulged in with greater relish by reason of the absence of any prescription to that effect. Punching bags, Oboxing gloves and dumbbells are in great demand, and contests in jumping, wrestling and athletic tricks are always in order at that part of the day. Cards, checkers and other games are permitted, a reading room is provided and ample time is allowed for such diversions. The waiting list is of the same general character at all periods, made up of the boys about to be sent off to the training station, others who have come from the school ships, and are awaiting assignment to regular cruisers’ recruits, and enlisted men who are in transit from one assignment to another. The recruits made for the classes of seamen, ordinary seamen and landsmen are given a preliminary “dressing down,” if time permits, and are sent to active duty at once, as requisition is made for them. They are "broken in” as much as possible while on the receiving ship, but receive instruction and drill only when assigned to their respective vessels. THE FIRST DUTY. Their first duty, after successfully passing the various examinations and being sworn and signed by the commanding officer, is to take a bath and submit to the good offices of the ship’s barber. The latter’s work is done at government expense, but after the first experience it is required that enlisted men must settle their own bills of this nature. The recruits are, in common with all enlisted men and boys on board, put through the well-known “setting-up” drill. This consists In performing certain movements of the limbs and body designed to give the full use of the muscles and feet, and to develop the agility and endurance necessary to the performance of ship duty. The exercise is of daily occurrence while the men are in the early stage of their enlistment, and is practiced frequently during the entire period of their service, being part of the drill of every ship’s crew. The men are given, at frequent intervals, practice in what is known as “the boat drill.” which is done chiefly for hygienic reasons, and consists, as its name implies, In handling small- boats on the water and taking them out. manning them. etc. They are also drilled in the manning and manipulation of the guns, when chance offers, but these preliminary instructions do little more than familiarize them with the positions to be assumed, and, to a less degree, with the mechanism of the machines. It la impossible to do more than this, owing to the limited opportunities afforded by the Vermont, ana Is really unnecessary, be-

cause on board of an active ship each man will have his position marked out, and will receive a thorough and systematic drilling for well-defined duties. The 450 r.en, more or less, of a large ship's complement are made up into divisions, each of which has to do with certain parts of a vessel and its work; one. for instance, is trained to man and operate the guns, another finds its duties almost entirely In the engine and boiler rooms, another In the operation of the ammunition hoists, and so on. The only duties required of all hands indiscriminately are the odds and ends that fall under the term seamanship, whiett are, except in the case of !andsmn, provided for by the requirements of the recruiting service. Landsmen are supposed to do what seamen designate “the dirty work” of tho ship, w hich means the scrubbing, cleaning, mess work. etc., but, much to their disgust, no enlisted men are absolutely exempt from such calls. the daily drill. “I've spent all my life on the water, pretty nearly,” said one recruit, “but never served on a man-of-war, and don't know much more about a gun than the man In the moor,. All the same. I’ve been drafted to the Columbia, and have only been here two days. Yes, I like it here, and am sorry that I can’t rest up a bit on the Vermont; It’s just about as easy as pie. We turn out in the morning about 5:30 or 6, get breakfast, scrub our clothes and clear, ship, and then get ready for inspection. We have to look well, have our shoes shined, and all that sort of thing. Then we have our set-ting-up drill, or boat drill, or gun drill, and lie around until dinner After that we have more drill out on the deck, and that’s about all. We swing our hammocks about 7 o'clock in the evening, frolic, around, unci turn in any time before 9. We have to turn In then whether we want to or not.” The personnel of a receiving ship Is made up of the captain, executive officer, two lieutenants, petty officers, and a crew usually composed of old men who have seen long service and are not particularly active. A marine guard, under a lieutenant, is always on board for police duty, and perhaps to inspire early in the breasts of recruits the traditional feeling of hostility. Lieutenant Ingate is In command of the detail on board the Vermont. Capt. Merrill Miller, in command of the ship, has recently been without the services of his executive officer, Lieutenant Commander Marix, who was detailed as judge advocate of the Havana court of inquiry. but the captain has not found that recent*efforts at recruiting have given his remaining officers additional work. “I fail to detect,” said the captain, “any greater desire of men to enlist in view of possible trouble abroad than has been the case in ordinary times. We have had as many its a thousand men aboard at once, but last week we had only 306. We will pretty well deplete our supply this week, for I have just sent 130 men. eighty of whom are apprentices, to the cruisers Minneapolis and Columbia at the League island yard, and I will soon get rid of about ninety more, who will go to the Dolphin here when she goes into commission. We find trouble in getting hold of the men we want, and have always experienced this more or less. Our standard in the navy has been high, you know, and a man must have had some experience at sea to make him valuable to us. Now that some of the restrictions have been removed by Secretary Long, wo expect to have considerably less trouble.” MINERS' STRIKE IS OFF. Ohio Diggera Will Return to Work lit Operator*’ Terms. MASSILLON, 0., April 6.—At a joint conference of committees representing the cod operators and miners of the Massillon district held in this city this afternoon an agreement was reached, and most of tin mines will resume work to-morrow at the operators’ terms. At meetings held at the various mines the action of their officials in ordering a strike was condemned by tin miners, and their committee was instructed to reach a settlement by terms in accordance with the Chicago agreement. Tinpoints in dispute were the Saturday half holiday and the half-hour noon demanded by the miners. Twenty-three hunrded men will return to work.

Carpenters Win n Strike. CHICAGO, April 6.—The carpenters' strike, which began Monday, came to a sudden end to-day, when all the larger contractors signer the union carpenters’ agreement. This is a victory for the strikers. The strike caused five thousand union carpenters to quit work. The agreement signed Is practically the same as the one previously in force, except for the provision for a w-eekly pay day, Saturday half holidays during the summer months and a more stringent enforcement of the 37*4. cents an hour wage scale. ( RAKE FOR PORTRAIT! RE. Picture* of Pretty Women on Stone*, Piute* and Stained Gins*. Chicago Post. Portraiture has become a gentle rage in the millionaire feminine bosom. Full length paintings in oils by the most eminent Parisian artists and miniatures on ivory are among the methods of picture-making that the rich women are beginning to tire of, and as necessity is the mother of invention a whole new series of schemes for limning attractive faces has been obediently brought forth by the prevailing condition. It was Mrs. Fred Gebhard, comments the New York Sun, the owner of one of the most perfect profiles In America, who first took the pains to hunt out a little old genius hidden away in a back street of Richmond, Va., and request him to out a big and beautiful cameo of her face. He made a very effective likeness, in white on a background of sapphire blue stone, and when Mrs. Gebhard had this set. about with large diamonds and wore it as one would a miniature brooch, every woman who saw it and could afford the expense went and did likewise. The little old cameo cutter has, since that stroke of lucky patronage, been overwhelmed with orders, and the women who have their profiles carved do not all wear the square or oval cameos as brooches. One of the popular fancies is to set the cameo as a belt buckle, as a shoulder brooch, as a clasp for a sable or ermine capo or mou.it it in a broad gold band and wear it on the arm. Not all women, however, can afford to have their features chipped out in agate stone, and a great many of them are going to the photographers to have cameo photographs taken. This is a process brought over from Paris, where they are just now making, as well, very exquisite vignette photographs, the figures in brown or gray thrown on a polished white surface. The cameo process is nothing more nor less than a face in clear profile, photographed' in strong w hite lights against a block of prepared and polished black wood. The block of wood is usually about six or eight inches square, with a circular depression in the center. Into this the picture is thrown and shows like a carving of pearl agaist ebony. Every curl and stray strand of hair, every filmy bit of lace and flower about the shoulders is outlined by the camera, and a pretty woman could not find a more perfect medium for a faithful likeness of her fine fcfl.tur6S. Anew industry, first put forward under the patronage of Mrs. John Jacob Astor, has blossomed forth. This rich young woman, one of the most prominent and beautiful of New York’s fashionable matrons, has had her own sweet face painted with most exquisite art on six very choice Sevres plates tnut are only used for her smallest and most select luncheon parties. The plates show Mrs. Astor in evening dress, tailor dress, reception gown, skating furs, In a delicate summer muslin and in her bridal gown. It is no secret that the plates cost $l5O apiece and were made in France. Mrs. Potter Palmer has given to an American girl the valuable order of decorating ht If a dzen piates, much like those of Mrs. Astor, while Mrs. Sloane, of New York, is having her likeness transferred to six plates for use at small breakfasts. These platters are all of fine American china, and the feminine artist who is decorating them is going to show Mrs. Sloane in skating, bicycling, golfing, riding, fishing and yachting dress. It has remained, however, for Mrs. Oliver Belmont to lead all the rest In portraiture of an original, beautiful and the moat expensive sort known on this side of the water. Only the beautiful but extravagant Queen of Italy has anything to show like the huge window of stained glass that fits into the space at the head of the stairs in Mr*. Belmont's New York house. This window. fourteen feet high by eight broad, looks toward the west, and everyone who enters the hall of the house cannot fail to look up at this window through the many colors of which all the light for the hall comes. In a framework of marvelous glass roses the mistress of the mansion stands arrayed in the most gorgeous yellow biocaded satin, wearing her famous turquoise tiara, necklace and brooches. The window was designed and the glass work done by American artists, and the crystal pieces of glowing color and many degrees of thickness are put together in a framework of silver instead or lead. It required nearly two years to complete the work, and no one save the present owner and the maker of the window knows the price that was paid for it. At some points in the decoration genuine jewels are set In with the glass, and at night a heavy Iron door closes at the back of the window, which, by cunningly arranged electric lights is softly illuminated. The Queen of Italy has had her picture done in painted glass, and of late one or two Americans, having seen Mrs. Belmont’s remarkable portrait, have had small medallion portraits made of themselves in the

stained crystals, and it is said that to a Ixmdon artist, no loss a person than AlmaTadema, the young Duchess of Marlborough Is giving sitting* for a glass portrait like her mother's. JAPANESE EXCITED. Think They Ought to Secure a Little Slice of China. LONDON, April 7.—The Yokohama correspondent of the Times says; “For the first time public opinion in Japan is vehemently excited. There is m general opposition to a British occupation of Wei-Jlai-Wei, but there is a foiling that Japan must assert herself and secure some other foothold on the Asiatic continent. The government is hampered by financial considerations, but will probably be obliged to yield to publio pressure. Sober people and the officials generally favor a British occupation of Wei-Hai-Wel and an Angb-Japanese entente. pour parlors for which are progressing favorably.” 'i he Daily Mail says this morning: “We learn from an authoritative source that England and Japan are in complete accord regarding Wei-Hai-Wel, but secrecy is entailed until a complete settlement has been achieved, which - , it is believed, will include an arrangement whereby England will advance the money to enable China to pay the indemnity in full and thus to obtain a Japanese evacuation of Wei-Hai-Wei.” CARLYLE’S BENEFACTOR. Aii American Credited with Aiding Him at an Opportune Time. New - York Letter in Philadelphia Press. Since the death of Charles Butler some very interesting facts concerning his life have come to the ears of his friends which show that, although in his ninety-five years of active life, for he was active even in early boyhood, there were experiences quite as romantic and interesting which he kept entirely to himself as were some of the ether incidents of whkvh the public knew. His correspondence, carried on for more than seventy years with almost all of the influential men of the Englisn-speaking world, would, if his heirs were to permit it to be published, furnish a volume as attractive as any romance. An examination of his papers makes it possible to explain a mystery which gave the literary men of Great Britain and of the United States cause for much comment during the life of Thomas Carlyle. Some twenty years ago one of the most distinguished of American litterate urs, having planned for a summer excursion to Great Britain, was asked by Mr. Butler if he would not like to take a letter to Carlyle from him. The writer, of course, was rejoiced at the opportunity to meet Cnrlvle. although lie was surprised to know that Mr. Butler was on such terms of intimacy with Carlyle as to justify him in giving a letter of introduction to a friend. The morning after this writer arrived in London he called at Carlyle’s house. Carlyle w - as not at home, and the letter was left for him. Next day before breakfast the American was surprised nod delighted to receive w - ord at his hotel that Mr. Carlyle was below and desired to see him. He went Immediately and spent a pleasant half hour with Carlyle and afterward called upon him and was received very cordially. He wondered why Carlyle, who had the reputation of being Indifferent to most visitors and intolerant of some, should have tuken the trouble to rail upon him so soon and afterward should be so agreeable when the call was returned. He afterward learned that Carlyle with most Americans was us cordial as it was possible for him to be. and with some was tull of a sort of rough geniality and sardonic. humor of which lie w - as the master. He said sharp things, but he did not say them to the Americans or of their famous men. He spoke rather, when speaking caustically, of American political institutions. This whs a mystery which no Englishman ever was able to fathom, and it is not until to-day that a possible explanation of it has been offered. That explanation is this: In Carlyle’s younger days, when he was desperately poor, almost pinched with poverty, just after he went to London, he unexpectedly received tokens of friendship and admiration which were something more than mere words of sympathy. They were substantial; they were of such a nature as to relieve his necessities. Money came to him from an American, and that American was Charles Butler. Carlyle, for that act of kindness, seems always to have regarded Americans as in some way associated with Mr. Butler. Talter in his life, in fact not long before his death, some allusion was made to Mr. Butler of that early sympathy which ho had for Carlyle, and he declined to speak of the subject, declined in such manner as led to the inference that he did not care, at least while alive, to have it known that it was his (purse that carYied Carlyle over a time of great desperation.
