The money so collected will either be refunded to the occupier of the land when he Is entitled to a patent there or will be credited to him on account of payment of land.

He has raised persons weighing as much as 210 pounds. Sah-dow claims to have bettered this record by 10 pounds. Kniep's arms are marvels of muscular development. Particularly Is this true of the forearm, where muscles stand out fn ridges that In the average man are but masses of flabby fibers. He now 23 years old, and ever since his boyhood days he has been in active training.

In his dumbbell practice he has put up the 125 pounds bell 15 times without suffering inconvenience. Kniep weighs at present 215 pounds and stands just 6 feet tall In his stocking feet. He Is In active training all the time, but can reduce his weight to 185 pounds If necessary. His greatest feat was the lifting of a hore weighing 1600 pounds, which he did about year ago. The lift was made with his body, the supporting strap being fastened around his broad shoulders.

The fleet would have been at New Orleans by this time if it not hap-: pened thai Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, under whose pergonal supervision it has been acting, was taken sick, causing a postponement of drills a time.

Now, however, with the Dupont in good condition, the fleet will proceed on its Southern journey without any-great delay. It is the present intention to proceed down the Atlantic coast to the Gulf of Mexico and thence to New Orleans. From this latter point the fleet will ascend the Mississippi as far as St. Louis, anyway. Perhaps It will proceed farther up the river, but that will depend upon the depth of the water, which I always an uncertain quantity In the Mississippi.

It la quite likely th boats will steam some distance up the Ohio, but aa those details will be governed by circumatanre. no positive statement can truthfully be made. Most of the officer and nearly every one of the ordinary seamen who man the torpedo boat are new to the task It I not at all like serving upon any ot the other veel which wear the eagle of t'nele flam at their bow.

They consist primarily of torpedo practice, which correspond to gun drill on the big battleships. Torpedoes are necessarily the principal weapons of these swift little craft; when they attack a monster battleship this weapon must be used with deadly precision, or the chance of the little David Incombat with the Goliath of the seas are very small indeed.

Consequently the principal emphasis is laid upon torpedo drill. Then there will be fleet maneuvers, speed tests and practice in approaching and getting away from an imaginary enemy, for your torpedo boat la built to "fight and run. away" in order that it may "live to fight another day." Whether there will be any after dark drills, practice In blockade running, such as was tried at Charleston several months ago, has not been definitely decided on, but In such maneuvers the public would have little interest, sine they could not be seen from shore. The spectacle of these little boats, not much larger than the ordinary steam yacht, would not be Imposing except for the terrible potentialities of the flotilla. Every one of these little boats has the power; It properly placed, to blow clean out of the water the biggest battleship ever built.

Their crews are small two officers and not more than 25 men to each vessel but every man is a hero in that he volunteers to meet the fate of the brave Cushing provided he can inflict still greater damage on the enemy.

To learn how to do this expeditiously and unerringly Is the purpose of the maneuvers at Newport. The following torpedo boats participated in the Newport drills: Ericson, Lieut. Usher commander; Cushing, Lieut. Gleaves; Porter, Lieut, Fremont; Poote, Lieut. Rogers.

They will be joined by the Dupont when she has been fully repaired. The Ericson was detached to drill with the New York and Massachusetts naval mllltiar, but--thla did not Interfere with her participation with the flotilla maneuvers later.

The rumor that Henrietta Crosman had retired from the stage "for good and erygeneral-urreney some time ago, but the announcement Is now made that she will return to the glitter and glory of the footlights early next season. This will be welcome news to patrons of the theater, for Miss Crosman has few equals and no superiors In the lines of work to which she has devoted herself for the past few years. Miss Crosman was born in Wheeling less than 80 years ago. Her father was an officer in the regular army, and her early youth was spent on the plains, where perhaps she acquired that charm ing breeziness and feedom from con ventionality of manner which have ad ded so greatly to the attractiveness of her stage work. It is said that before she was 10 years of age she was able to converse In four of the Indian dialects.

Her stage debut was made in Bartley Campbell's "The White Slave" when she was 16 and before it was suspected that she was possessed of histrionic ability of more than ordinary quality. She adopted the stage because financial reverses had made It necessary for her to be one of the breadwinners of the family, and she could think of nothing else at which It was probable that she would succeed. It was a fortunate, if rather a Henrietta Crosman. haphazard selection, for she was shortly afterward engaged by Daniel Frohman for the part of Gladys Wyncot in "The Rajah." Then she began to rise rapidly in her chosen profession, her next engagement being for the title role of "Young Mrs. Winthrop," in which she made the hit of the piece.

She then became, the. leading woman for Edmund Collier, and afterward held similar positions with Robert Downing and Frederick Warde. With all of these the work which she did was, of course, of a serious order, and managers began to marvel at her versatility. Chief among these was Augustin Daly, who at one secured her to play "seconds" to Ada Rehan in his home stock company. Here, again, she was so successful that Daniel Frohman, regretting that he had not retained her when he had previously had her under his management, made her a handsome offer to become a member of his company at the Lyceum Theater, New York, which she accepted.

Later he loaned her to his brother Charles for the principal role in "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows," for which he was unable to find a suitable actress. Then occurred the real triumph of Miss Cros-man'a career. After that piece came "The Junior Partner" and a number of other farcical plays presented by Charles Frohman's comedians, among them being "Glorlana," in which she scored as marked a success as in "Mr, Wilkinson's Widows." For a time she was off the stage, but soon returned to stock work, playing the leads with some of the best companies In the country. Her versatility is scsgreat" that It Is a common saying in thevprofesalon that "Henrietta Crosman can" play anything she can look," and Inasmuch as she can look almost anything In the way of a heroine there are very few lines of work on the stage from which she is debarred, York' Connnmptlui of Efrir.
