■TOTED FRIGATE f SENT OUT UPON FINAL VOYAGE ► - ■■ " Richmond Goes to ‘Execution’ Grounds at Eastport, Me. FAMOUS IN CIVIL WAR EASTPORT, Me., June 18.—The U. S. S. Richmond has finished her last eruls?. has fought her last battle, has said her last farewell tc- the few remaining heroes who knew and loved her best and. stripped of masts and superstructure, her empty gnn ports staring right and lust like sightless eyes, this famous frigate, which shared the glory of the capture of New Orleans and the victory of Mobile bay, back In the sixties, has been towed to execution. Stricken from the navy list In June of last year, the Richmond was taken to Philadelphia, her masts removed, ho boilers taken out, everything of value salvaged and then, with virtually nothing left except her dauntless spirit and her heroic record she finally was dragged to her death-dock at Eastport, Me., to bo beached and burned for the few bits of scrap metal that remained. Though her body be valueless, her tome and fame are priceless, and there were some loyal friends who found a Joy in paying the Richmond a last tribute. Only a few weeks ago, before she began her last voyage to Maine, a little bund of naval veterans gathered on her decks In Philadelphia, uncovered their gray heads as the bugler sounded “taps.” and stood In awed attention while the rifles barked out that last honor volley accorded to the doers of great deeds. There was a lump in many a throat as these boys of '6l said goodbye to the warrior -raft that had served so well, so faithfully and so long. In official records the Richmond's history Is short, but In memory's book it Alls pages, many that never will be written. Launched at Norfolk. Va., Jan. 26. 1860, the Richmond was 225 feet long and had a beam of 42t£ feet. In command of Capt. Charles H. Bell, flag officer, she made her first cruise to the Mediterranean in 1860 and 1861. RICHMOND ARRIVED DI KING THE WAR. On the day before Independence day. 1861, the Richmond reached home to find the north and south in the opening stages of that death grapple that was to continue for four long years, and. without waiting to have the barnacles •craped from her aides, she was hustled off In search of the Confederate steamship Sumter, and then to join the Union gulf squadron. For three months she stood watch at the head of the Mississippi river passes, and, in her first real engagement, came off victorious In a fight with the Confederate ram Manassas and gunboats A month later the Richmond took part In the operations for the defense of Ft. Pickens and Pensacola. Then. In 1562, she was assigned to the west gulf blockading squadron under "V.dmiral Farragut. and. with this brave old sea fighter, gained her brightest victories and her greatest glories. In April, 1862, the Richmond, with Farragut's squadron, passed Ft. St. Philip and Ft. Jackson, on the Mississippi, and captured New Orleans. After active engagements In all the prominent operations on the river during the remainder of the year and throughout 1863, the gallant ship then rendered valiant service again to Farragut in the victory at Mobile bay in August, 1564. Eight months later, in April, 18G5. the Richmond assisted In the capture and destruction of the confederate steamer William 11. Webb, and finally was put out of commission July 14. 1865. From IS7O to 1891 the Richmond cruised In European, Atlantic, Pacific and Asiatic waters, her last official voyage being in the South Atlantic lu 1890 and 1891. Returned to port, she was attached to the training station at Newport, R. 1.,

Jleauty Secrets Revealed. Anna Q.Nilsson the Popular Actress Tells How To Instantly Have a Beautiful Rosy - White Skin and Complexion. ■ *' '7 VMISS ANNA Q. NILSSON.

Xew York—" The secret of beauty Is the proper care of the skin,” says Miss Nilsson, the popular Metro star. “It only requires a few moments' time and anyone Is more than paid for the little effort it takes. In the first place the skin should be kept scrupulously clean. Use a good cleansing cream (Liska cold cream I have found to be the best), follow this by bathing the face with warm water then rinse with cold water and dry thoroughly with a coarse towel. After this process select a beautifler in addition to being a beautifler has a healing effect on the skin. The very best I have fonnd for this purpose is derwillo, as It instantly beautifies the complexion and its continued use makes the results permanent.” Derwillo takes the place of face powder, as It stays on better and is wonderful for a shiny nose, oily, dark, sallow skin, freckles', tan. wrinkles and other facial blemishes. Just make this test: Put Derwillo on one side of your face, then look in your mirror and compare it with the other side—you will need no further argument to convince you that nothing beautifies like Derwillo. It imparts a youthful appear-

from 1891 to 1803. and from 1894 to 1902 she acted as receiving ship at the Philadelphia navy yard. From 1903 to 1919 the Richmond was stationed at the Norfolk navy yard as an auxiliary to the receiving ship Franklin, thousands of sons and grandsons of those heroes who fired her engines and worked her guns in her prime treading her decks in their patriotic haste to sign up In the fight against the kaiser's U-boat pirates. WORLD WAR OVER. NAME IS ERASED. Then, the war over, her name was erased from the navy's roster—and the end. But the old Richmond did not die ere the story of some of her bravest battles was told again. Admiral David Porter, commander of the fleet of mortar batteries under Farragut. in his epic narrative in the Century War Book, told of the opening of the lower Mississippi and the capture of New Orleans bark in 1862 and of the passage of Forts St. Philip and Jackson. and the part the Richmond played In it all. And the battle of Mobile Bay, the last big fight in which the Richmond took part, is described by Lieut. John Kinney, acting signal officers on board the Hartford, in his story of the events of the sth of August, 1864. “At sunset on Aug. 4,” writes Lieu*. Kinney, "the last orders had be- n issued, every commander knew bis duty, and unusual quiet prevailed in the fleet. “The scene on the flagship was representative of the night before the battle throughout the fleet. “It was the admiral's desire and Intention to get under way by daylight, to take advantage of the inflowing tide, but a dense fog came on after midnight and delayed the work of forming line. “It was a quarter of 0 before the fleet'was In motion. ‘‘Meantime a light brceie had scattered the fog and left a clear, sunny August day. "The line moved slowly and It was an hour after starting l>efore the opening gun was fired. This was a 13-lnch shell and it exploded over Ft. Morgan. "Half an hour afterward, the fieet came within range, and the firing from the starboard vessels became general, the fort and the confederate fleet replying. “At this crPlcal moment the Brook-

lyn halted and began backing and signaling. The Hartford waa Immediately behind and the following vessels, the Richmond, the Itasca, ana the others, were in close proximity, and the sudden stopping of the Brooklyn threatened to bring the whole fleet into collision, while the strong inflowing tide was likely to carry some of the vessels to the shore under the guns of the fort. “The Brooklyn's message, 'The monitors are right ahead; we cannot go on without passing them,’ was answered by Farragut, ‘Order the monitors ahead and go on,’ but still the Brooklyn halted, and, to add to the horror of the situation, the Union monitor Tacumseh, a few hundred yards in the advance, suddenly careened to one side and almost Instantly sank to the bottom, carrying with her Capt. Craven and the greater part of his crew. “Finding that the Brooklyn failed to obey his orders, the admiral hurriedly inquired of the pilot if there was sufficient depth of water for the Hartford to pass to the left of the Brooklyn. “Receiving an affirmative reply, he said. ‘I will take the lead,’ and immediately ordered the Hartford ahead at full speed. "As he passed the Brooklyn a voice warned him of the torpedoes, to which he returned the contemptuous answer, 'Damn the torpedoes!” “The Hartford reached the deep water of the bay and came to anchor, the other vessels of the flpet meanwhile having straightened their line nncl passed the fort. ‘The thunder of the heavy guns now ceased. The crews of the various ves sels had begun to efface the marks of the terrible contest by washing the decks and clearing up the spl.nters. HURRIED CALL “RAM IS COMING” “There came a hurried call to quarters and word was passed, ‘The ram Is coming.’ "The ram Tennessee, after remaining near Fort Morgan, while the fleer hail made Its way four miles above to its anchorage, had suddenly decided so settle ht once the 'question of the control of the bay. Single-handed she came on to meet the whole fleet, consisting of ten wooden vessels and the three monitors. “The Monongahela, ordered to run down the ram, at once took the lead of the union attack, but the Tennessee from the first headed for the Hartford, and phid no attention to her assailants except with her guns. “The Monong&heln. going at full speed, struck the ram amidships —a blow that would have sunk any vessel of the union navy, but which Inflicted not the slightest damage on the solid Iron hull of tha ram. “The Lackawanna was close behlnl and delivered a similar blow with her wooden bow. slrnplv causing the ram to lurch slightly to one side. “The two flagships approached each other, bow to how. iron to oak. “It was impossible for the Hartford, with her lack of speed, to circle around and strike th" ram on her side; her only safety was In keeping oolnted and! rectly for the bow of her assailant. ADMIRAL STOOD ON QUARTERDECK. “The admiral stood on the quarterdeck when the vessels came together, and as he saw the result he Jumped on the port quarter rail, holding to to* inlzsen rigging, a position from which he- might have Jumped to the deck of the ram ns she passed. “Seeing him in this position and fearing for his safety a lieutenant slipped a rope around him and secured It to the rigging “The remainder of the story is soon told. At last the solid shot from so u.nny guns began to tell: the Tennessee* flagstaff was shot away; her smokestack was riddled with holes and finally dlst.ppeared. One of the monitor t'hlcka

What’s What pSES In Indianapolis '‘Know Your Own ft) Home Town ” (ly thi Reference Deparimen’, Indianapolis |L.A, lublsc Library, C. £. Rush, Librarian) When were the first street improvements made? One of the first tasks undertaken by the first city council, elected In 1847, was the systematic and general improvement of streets. At that time Washington street was full of stumps. Here aud there were patches of sidewalks, some of brick and some of plank. But in that year the stumps were pulled out, the streets In the central portion of the city graded and graveled and sidewalks were made. Bowldering for streets was not Introduced until 1850, when Washington street was paved with them from Illinois to Meridian. Who built our present statehouse? Gen. Thomas A. Morris had charge of the work, building It within the time limit and with the money appropriated by the legislature, it was begun In 1878, nnd completed in 1888. What of Indianapolis as a grain market? Located in the center;of n big wheat producing country and near the center of corn production for the United States, this city occupies a prominent place among the great grain markets of the continent. Last year there were received here and inspected 7,650,000 bushels of wheat, 19.14.‘<.000 bushels ot corn, 11,775,000 bushels of oats and 1.030 cars of hay; 537.842 barrels of flour were manufactured here.

Hej wood of the marine corps was sent on board the ram with a guar., of marines. "In meeting Admiral Buchanan he could not resist the temptation to Inform him that they had met before under different circumstances, the captain having been on the frigate Cumberland when she wns sunk In Hampton Roads by Buchanan on the Merrimac. “Ft. Morgan was at once Invested, and surrenderred Aug. 23." Was Ever There Such 111 Luck —Was Ever? HUTCHINSON, Kas , June 18.—William Taylor was paroled from the state reformatory here by Gov. Allen the other day. The parole was requested by both the Judge nnd county attorney, who declared that Taylor had done nothing more “ferocious" than to steal a piece of pie. They clinched their argument by showing that Taylor was arrested before be could eat It. Americans Backing Big German Deals?
