NAVAL NICKNAMES.

EDDIE M'GOORTY TO MEET FRANK KLAUS

(National News Association) CHICAGO, March 25. Eddie McGoprty who beat Hugo Kelly at Kenoslia "recently will leave for the coast the latter1 part of this week for a meeting with Frank Klaus, Victor of Jack Dillon In CoffroCh'A middleweight elimination contests. McGoorty accepted Coffroth'a terms for a fight with Klaus. The scrap will be staged about the middle of April.

CMd as the Hills, Used In All Countries ana Never Alter. In tbe American and English navies, as well as In tbe merchant marines, are found nicknames that have been in use since before men dreamed that there was land on tbe other side of the western ocean. Tradition, most inflexible of all rules, governs them, and they never alter, whether the ship clears from tbe Golden Gate or from London docks. Some of the nicknames are of obvious origin; others seem to gain force by their apparent lack of reason. For Instance, why should all men named Wright be called "Shiner?" Clark is invariably "Nobby," Greea Is "Jimmy." and a White is a "Knocker." "Spud" Murphy explains Itself, as does "Dusty" Miller. "Lofty" and "Shorty" do not need to present cards to their mates when tbey sign on. and It is not worth while for the brunette sailor to resent it when a friendly chap halls him as "Nigger." He can't whip the entire crew, one after the other. The rigid forms of the quarterdeck do not hold during tbe watch below, and the captain Is the "Skipper," and the first lieutenant Is familiarly "Jimmy tbe One." On .fighting ships the gunnery lieutenant is "Gunnery Jack," or, more briefly, "Guns," the torpedo lieutenant "Torpedo Jack" or "8parks" and the navigating officer Tbe Navy." Even a landlubber would know that "Tommy Pipes" . was the boatswain, "Chips" the carpenter, "Jimmy Bungs" tbe cooper and "Sails" the sailmaker. New York Tribune.

THE LOST SPECTACLES. What Happentd When the Old Gentleman Tried to Find Them. A man from "up state" who was in New York city on business was taken by a nephew whom he was visiting to dine at a Broadway restaurant tb evening of bis arrival. The next day he said to the younger man : "Where is that restaurant we dined at last night? I left my gold spectacles there, I'm pretty sure. I've got another pair with me, but I don't want to lose' the others." "I'll stop In and get them for you on my way down town," replied the nephew.

He went to tbe restaurant, explained the circumstances and received a pali of gold rimmed spectacles that bad been left on a table the previous evening. On his return home in. the afternoon he handed them to bis uncle. "Where in thunder did you get those?" Inquired tbe elder man. '1 was going down Broadway today and recognized tbe place we dined at at least I thought I did. Anyway I went In and asked If I left my spectacles last night, and they gave me this pair." He produced another pair of gold rimmed spectacles. Upon tbe uncle describing the restaurant whence be had retrieved the glasses the nephew assured him It was several blocks from the one tbey bad patronized tbe day before. While the two were discussing the situation the postman delivered a package for the uncle. It contained a pair of gold r burned spectacles, with a note from his wife saying that she had found them on his writing desk at home and was sending them to New York In the event that he might need them.

MOROCCO CITY. Magnificent In Its 8ite and In Its His torie Ruins. Morocco city, the capital of tbe southern half of the Moroccan kingdom. Is a far more ' interesting city than Fez. Architecturally Its monuments, including tbe famous Kutubia tower, the counterpart of the Glralda in Seville; the famous mosque of Mulcy Abdallah and a hundred other ruined or semi ruined edifices surviving from the days when the city had 700,000 Inhabitants and was one of the great capitals of Islam, are tbe most considerable and magnificent in Mo rocc6. Equally beautiful Is the site ol this city in the upper valley of the Tenesift river, surrounded in a half circle by the great wall of tbe grand Atlas mountains, whose snowclad peaks are seen beyond a foreground of large farms and fertile fields. A city far less given over to war, with a population less ferocious, less fanatical than that of Fez or Mekinez, Morocco city has been much more frequently visited by Europeans than iti northern rivals. Geographically Morocco city is tbe real gateway to the Sahara. By tbe Glawi paaa one road climbs over the Atlas mountains to Tafllet, and the caravan route continues to Timbuktu. A second road descends to the Draa, crossing the Atlas chain, while a third leads to Tarudant and the Sus country. Close communication with the south has left its mark upon the people, who are darker and show more patently the Infusion of African blood than the Berbers and Arab of the north. London Standard.
