TATTOOING MADE EASY.
Not So Painful as It: Used to ba—XVork Ac—
complished by a Little Machine.
Since a. certain English Prince re-
turned from his trip around the world
with a choice selection of oriental de—
signs in scarlet and black pricked into
his skin, tattooing has become the
vogue in fashionable circles. Former—
ly, a man had to go to the far East to
find the first masters of the tattooing
art, many of whose productions were
most elaborate and artistic, and the
possession of a. few square inches of
their best work was looked upon as an
enviable distinction of the tiaveled
man of the world. Now, any one can
have the epidermis disfigured as lavish—
tion, which used to be exceedingly
painful, is accomplished with compara-
tively little suffering to the person
tattooed. An American, who had pick-
‘ed up all the tricks of the trade in Ja»
pan, turned it to account on his re-
turn in the manufacture of museum
freaks. But the process was tedious
and he set his wits to work on an elec-
tric tattooing machine. This has been
completed, and the “professor” now
stipples in his weird designs “while
you wait.” The subject to be operated
upon makes a choice of designs from a.
scrap book, or suggests an original
theme, or even a portrait. The opera—
tor draws the design on celluloid with
a stylus. This is inked and applied to
the skin, on which the imprint is left.
Over these lines, one or more. needles,
-connected to an electric motor, are
made to work rapidly with an action
similar to that of '1 dental plugger. In
a few minutes, the work of pricking in
is done, a wash is put 0v er the part to
minimize the pain of the incirzent in—
flammation, and the “professor” has
earned his foe. 5T0 each machine there
is a set of attachments carrying rows
and bunches of needles—from five to
fifty—for eccnomizing time where
broad effects are needed.
Collections and Offerings.
I went to church not long ago, says
a‘ writer in the Albany Journal, and
heard the following tale given in ex—
planation of the words “collection”
and “offering,” and the difference be-
tween them.
A certain small boy had a dog which
he had named Fido. The boy was very
fond of Fido. One day at dinner the
boy’s father noticed him taking the
best of the portion of roast beef which
had fallen to his lot and placing it on
another plate. Upon inquiry the fath-
er learned that the meat was for the
dog, Fido. “My son,” said papa,’ “it
would be better if you ate that meat
yourself and gave Fido some of the
scraps which are left.” The boy pro—
tested, but the father was obdurate.
At the conclusion of the meal the boy
took out to Fido a plate heaped with
scraps of the roast. “Here, Fido,”
said the boy, “I wanted to make you
tion.”

ly as he wishes'at home, and the opera- ‘
but here is only a collec—‘
propriations Committee, and Turpie and
Mills, of the Foreign Relations Com—
mittee. Of all of these, he asked that
Congress pursue the conservative
course on the Maine report, and wait
for action until the Cuban message is
presented.
The President’s Course.
There is a suprise in store for those
who think that the President is not
going to be firm in his course in regard
to the Maine and Cuban question, for,
when he acts, he will act in such a.
manner that his meaning cannot be
doubted, nor his purpose obscured.
The President and his Cabinet fully
realize the present acute situation, and
are not halting or hesitating as to the
policy to be pursued.
Such conservative members of the
Cabinet as Secretaries Gage and Bliss
and Postmaster-General Gary do not
hesitate to say that the situation is
graver now than it has been so far, but
they. with the rest of the Cabinet, are
confident as ever as to the ability of the
President to meet the emergency.
It is the President’s intention at this
time to treat the Maine explosion and
the general Cuban question separately.
He intends to let Congress have the
Maine report first and then follow it
with a message on the general Cuban
question, and at that time submitting
the Cuban correspondence. For this
reason the . administration is using
every effort to restrain Congress from
acting hastily on the Maine report, and
thus risking hostilities before it is
called upon to act on the general Cuban
question.
The conferences at the White House
‘ within the last few days have all been
held with this idea. in View. The Pres-
ident has been frank and open with the
members of Congress and told them
plainly his plans. At the same time, he
has tried to secure from them assur-
ances that Congress will proceed in a.
quiet and orderly manner to the con—
sideration of the report on the Maine
explosion and not make this subject
the cause of a conflict before it is ad—
vised as to the President‘s policy in re-
gard to Cuba.
To Prevent Haste.
It is the general: belief that if Con-
gress were to act this week it would
overwhelmingly declare for interven—
tion and the independence of Cuba.
The President knOWS this, and for this
reason has decided toattempt to pre-
vent action before the whole situation
is laid before the legislative branch of
the Government.
As already stated, Speaker Reed has
given assurances that the House will
act calmly and slowly, and as he ex—
presses it, “There will no internal ex—
plosion there, even if there is an ex-
ternal one.” At the’confer ence between
Senators Allison and Gounan and the
President,‘the Senators coincide with
the Presdent’s plans and promised to
do all in their pOWer to hold the Sen-
ate in check until the whole ques-
tion was laid before it. It is therefore
expected that when the report is sent
to Congress next week it will be re-
ferred to the Foreign Affairs Commit—
tee and take its regular course under
the rules.
As soon as this is done and Congress
has had a chance to know the facts in
regard to the explosion the President
will inform it in regard to the general
Cuban question, then it is expected
Congress will act.
The President has not given up all
hope that he may secure peace on the
island without hostilities, but at the
same time he realizes the temper of
Congress and the situation ahead of
him. He is going to act with Congress
in all he does and Congress is going to
share with him the responsibility of the
outcome. ,
Intervention Expected.
The prevailing opinion still is that the
action taken in the Cuban question will
be intervention, which will lead ulti-
mately to freedom of the island. The
exact form of this intervention is still
a r'uestion. The President has been con-
SiL-Ejiing for some time plans for a
larger system of relief for the starv-
ing Cubans than the one now in op-
eration. The new plan includes the
immediate shipment of large supplies
of food and wholesale measures of re-
lief for the island.
It Spain should object to this and
(ail it intervention, she will be the
no responsible for provoking war.»
The President still hopes that in the
meantime scmething may occur to di-
minish the likelihood of opposition.
But. if war comes from this reason, it
will be a war for the sake of human-
ity and on this ground will receive the
approbation not only of this country
but the rest of the world. How this
relief Is to be sent is another question
,to be settled. and the President, if he
decides to make it Government relief,
will rsk Congress for an appropria—
t'ou and also for means to transport
tre supples.

The general feeling in Washington
in both Legislative and Executive cir—
cles is that some action will be taken
within the next week. The strain can-
not be kept up much longer, and to
keep Congress ready and on hand
word has been passed around among
the members that every Cingressman
must remain in Washington to be on
guard.
Cn Tuesday a YVestern member ask-
ed for leave of absence to go home on
important business, and. he was told
that it was not advisable for him to
leave W'ashington at this time, and
that the leaders were desirous for all
members to remain here ready for
any emergency. He was told that if
he left Washington now he might miss
the opportunity of casting the most
important vote of his Congressional
career.
TO USE OLD MONITORS.
Secretary Long: Orders War—Time Vessels
Into Service. '
IVashington, March 24.—-Two signifi-
cant moves were made yesterday at
the‘W'ar and Navy Departments which
show that the situation is considered
grave, and that preparations for any
emergency are being made without loss
of time. The orders issued were im—
portant because it has always been
said nothing would be done in these
matters until the last moment, when
it was absolutely necessary to issue
them.
In the Navy Department, the Secre-
tary, through the Bureau of Naviga-
tion, issued orders to thoroughly re-
pair and equip the eight old monitors
now at League Island. Two of these
will be sent to BostOn, two to New
York and the four remaining will be
left where they are. In view of the
decision of the Board of Inspectors,
sent last week to look over these ves-
sels, that extensive repairs would be
necessary to put a number of them
into any condition for use, the order
to send four to Boston and New York
means that these repairs are to be
made and the vessels thoroughly im-
proved and equipped. Work will begin
at once at League Island on the others
,and by dividing the fleet the repairs
can be hastened and completed in a
short time.
It is understood that the monitors
ordered north will be used to defend
the harbors of New York and Boston,
and if is expected that two will remain
at Philadelphia, and the others may
be sent to other coast ports. .
The big coast defense vessels. or
monitors, the Terror and Puritan. have
been ordered to Key TVest, and will
join Admiral Sicard’s fleet.
It is now announced ofiicially that
the report is expected here to-night.
and no doubt as soon as it is placed in
Secretary Long's hands he will take it
to the W'hite House, where it will re-
main until it is sent to Congress next
week. ‘
In connection with the announce-
ment of the significant and warlike
preparation made by the Navy De-
partment, it is stated that the Puri-
tan now at Hampton Roads, in in
all probability also be ordered to Key
West. So it will be seen that instead
of the fleet at Key West being weak-
ened it will in reality be strengthened,
for in the opinion of nine—tenths of the
officers of the United States Navy, the
monitors Puritan and Terror are the
most formidable war crafts in the
world.
The orders for the Terror and the in-
tention of the Den. irtment to order the
Puritan to Key IV est does away with
the report that a fleet of monitors is
to be formed with headquarters at
Port Royal. S.- C‘.
W ”SITUATION UNCHANGED.”
Long Says It Is Impossible to Predict

\Vashington, March 24.———Secretary
Long last night made the following
statement to a correspondent:
“W'e are still making preparations
for the defense of the country against
any possible emergency. “7e are work—
ing practically day and night and are
leaving nothing undone which might
possibly add to the strength of the na-
tional defense.
“We are still making every effort to
buy ships abroad, but it now seems
doubtful whether we can secure any
more war vessels—at least, those that
are in any way near completion. Ships
that can be put into immediate c‘om-
missiOn are the ones we want.
"We are endeavoring to purchase ter-
pedo boats and torpedo-boat destroy-
ers. and while we have not made any
definite purchases the outlook appears
bright for the acquisition of several
of these.

Maine Report IlIovcs Swiftly.
Savannah, Ga, March 24,—Lieutenant
Murix. with the report of the Court of
inquiry, passed through here at a late
hour last night. He was sleeping sound-
ly, and the doors to his coach were
locked and strongly guarded. The 1-1-
port of the court rested under Mr. Ma-
rix’s head. Without mishaps ,he will
hand the finding of the board to the
Navy Department to—night.
Warning to Shipping.
Washington, March 24.—It is under-
stood that the Treasury Department
has sent to numerous firms and per-
sons interested in shipping warnings
of the gravity of the Situation, so that
they may be prepared for any out-
break or interference with their ves—
sels and American commerce generally.
Sagasta Shows Spain‘s Policy.

Premier, is quoted in an interview as

proves of Captain-General Blanco's

mite as the Americans have alleges.”

CAPT. GREENWAY, OF YALE.
Captain Greenway will have a fine

Yale. Among them are Camp, Hazen,
Atkins, Williams, Clarke, Crawford,
Noyes, Dunn, Winter, Shattuck, Bur-
rell, Dashiel, Russell, Lyons, McBride,
Bronson, Ferguson, Bronson, Bartlett,
IVallace, Wadsworth and Weer. These
men have been training constantly for
the past five weeks, and when “play

no doubt be in good shape to put up
an elec (rant game.
Yale and Princeton meet first on
June 4 at New Haven, then again on-
June 11 at Princeton and in case of a.
tie the game will be ~played in New
York on June 18th. Harvard meets
Yale at Cambridge on June 23, and
then at New Haven on the 28th. In
case of a tie the game will be played in
New York on July 2.

of University of Pennsylvania.
The University of Pennsylvania will
begin the season on April 2 with the
Indians at Franklin Field. On the 7th
they will start on a Southern tour, go-
ng as far South as Atlanta, when they
will meet the University of Georgia.
They will travel in a private car and
expect to bring back a long list of vic-
tories to their credit.
Harvard has been unfortunate in this
year’s make—up of her team. At the
practice games on Holmes' Field the
men have been spirited in their work,
but the material is very poor, as most
of them are new men. The outlook for
that university is very bad. They have
been put through a thorough training,
however, and may turn out better than
expected.
