When VIII perfect war vessel be
constructed? From the report Of a
Committee on the recent naval man
ouvers OF the English fleets, it APP
pears that the heavily plated and
armed ironclads have proved a great
disappointment to their constructors,
inasmuch as they pitch and roll to
such an alarming extent in a compar-
atively smooth sea as TO be absolutely
useless as gun platforms-it being
quite impossible to aim from them
with any degree of certainty. Some
OF the L. S. war vessels are modelled
after these monsters and, of course,
they will develope the same failing.

Speed Of Railway Trains.

Prof Hadley says: ''The speed of
railway trains is restricted within
three theoretical limits: First, a ply
steal limit Of eighty miles an hour,
beyond which it is found impossible
for train to hold the track; second,
an operating limit of 60 miles an hour,
which practical experience has found
that trains cannot run without much
damage to life; third, a commercial
limit of thirty miles per hour, at
whitehall things considered, tits found
most economical to run a train"

A writer in the st. Louis Post-Dispatch
says that form is most Important. Color
ing and a fine skin will not make fine
face strictly beautiful unless the feature,
are regular and the head and face OF per
feet contour. The eyes should be set hori
zontally, having neither an upward moi
downward inclination, not too far apart
nor too close together. The nose should
be placed at an even distance between the
eyes, joining the forehead in subtle
curve, the lower portion straight, 10 en-
phasize the surrounding curves OF the
cheeks and lips. The "mouth like a Gu
pid's bow" is very beautiful. The distance
from the eyes 10 the tip Of the nose, and
from there to the chin, should each be one
fourth the length of the face; the mouth
should be set at one-third the length OF the
nose and chin; the chin should taper
slightly to form an oval outline of the face.
Nevertheless, with features which do not
come up 10 the ideal, a girl will be consid-
cred pretty" il she has smooth, clear skin,
bright animated eyes and good teeth.

The recent suicide OF Col. Zatureczky, of
the sixly-second Austrian regiment, has
developed several sensational features.
From the Vienna Tagesblatt II is learned
that before firing the fatal bullets into his
brain Col. Zatureczky wrote twenty-five
letters 10 his relatives and friends explain
ing why he regarded II his duty as soldier
10 put an end 10 his existence. From these
letters 1t appears that the colonel killed
himself because he considered he had been

Her Mothers Daughter.

Washington special: A curious and In
teresting fact in connection with the ap
pointment OF Ex-senator Thomas w. Pal
mer as minister to Spain is that Mrs. Pal
mer, who will accompany him TO Madrid
is not the first of her family TO represent
the United States at that court. A fair an
cestress of Mrs. Palmer's preceded her In
that dignity In the last generation. Mrs
Palmer is the only child of Chas. Merrill
Esq, formerly Of Maine but who settled In
Michigan IN Is45, and who had large for.
tune that descended 10 his daughter. Mr.
Merrill was son Of Gen. James Merrill, OF
Portland, who married Mary Winslow, q
descendant OF Kenelm Winslow, brother OF
Gov. Edward Winslow, and Mrs. Palmer
is kinswoman OF James Bowdoin. who
was minister 20 Spain under President JEFF

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 80 The first
real work under the supervision of the
state commenced this morning at
O clock. The whistle at the Cambria
Iron and steel Works Was the signal for
the men to commence, and about 800
men started III with their picks and
shuNtiN. The early morning was wal IN
ana cloudy, and the fumeg and odors
ron the deCayed bodies was some thing
almost unbearable. As the morning adj
vaneed the weather grew warmer.
Duflug The morning II crowd 81 worth

entrance to the town, and wanted to in
augusafe strike among the Worbmen.
Some Of the laborers were already dis
satisfied ut having new bosses over
them, and only wanted chance to com
plan. James Mcknight, of Pittsburg,
one o! the state contractors, got wind of
the trouble brewing, and went among
the men and informed them that
he would have no kicking, and
that all those who wished to
quit would have TO do so immedi-
ately, and about 10 Of the men left,
but the loalers remained around and
MIR. Mcknight went 10 Gen. Hastings
and demanded protection Ior the men.
detachment of militia from the Four
teenth Regiment were detailed TO the
place, and they drove away all the men
who refused TO work. This caused Gen.
Hastings TO issue an order to the sol
dlers not TO admit anyone 10 Johns
town proper without an order.
1he business men of the town seemed
to have awakened to their senses. and
this morning q number of them were
preparing TO start over again in busi-
ness. Two grocery stores were started
near the Pennsylvania Railroad freight
station. Both places were doing a land
office business, and this encouraged
other me1chants to start up, and the
probabilities are that inside of week,
at the latest, a hundred stores Will be
III operation. Already Two barber
shops and one jewelry store have been
opened.
The general opinion among we'll
posted people here is that tie loss Of
life will be between 5000 and 1000. 1t
WAS generally given out that Johnstown
and boroughs adjoining had popula-
ton of $4,000 people, bnt this is a very
high estimate, and conservative people
put the population between 25,0O0 and
2S,0t}0.
Five bodies were recovered this
morning and removed to the general
morgue. The untortunates were all
women and only two were identified,
Mrs. Wm. Layton and Mrs. Alice Jones.
The other three were held for about two
hours for identification and then buried.

BESSEMER'S HARD LUCK.
Many Men Made Idle by Suspension of
Work on the Colby Mine.

IRoNwooD, Mich, June l4-The great
Colby Mine, at Bessemer, closed down
yesterday afternoon, throwing 900 men
out of work. The mine was
formerly worked by Mather, Morse K
Co., who purchas three-year lease
on the property. During these three
years the mine was the largest shipper
on the 6ogcbIc range, and at one
time gave employment 10 500
men. AT the expiration of
the lease the original company ofwhich
Chas. l.. Colby is president, decided to
work the property themselves, but they
found 1T in such condition that they
could not see in which way they
were going to get returns Tor the
enormous sum of money that would
have to be expended to get the mine in
good working shape; hence the
shut down. THIS is sad
blow to the once booming little city of
Bessemer, as the entire population de-
pended on this mine. Hundreds of
miners are idle ON the range. and
where TO find work they do not know.
Joseph l.. Colby, one of the owners Of
the Colby mine, states that the en-
ptOyes OF the mine who were laid oil q
day or two ago were men who had
peen engaged 10 do some extra
work. There is q large amount
OF ore stocked at the mine,
according to Mr.. Colby, and there
lS 10 intention Of ceasing operations. 1t
is considered that the management Of
the mine is reducing the working force
because it is unwilling to sell ore at the
prices which are offered at present.

lord mayor in view of the international
character OF the assembly. President
Goode, United States Minister Lincoln,
the dean of Westminster, Arch
deacon Farrar, and Il num-
ber of the most eminent engi-
neers were present. President Goode,
in proposing Il toast To America,
said that the Christianity of the Pilgrim
fathers was the foundation of American
prosperity. Mr.. Lincoln. in felicitous
reply, said he would refrain from refer-

toast to American Engineers societies.
