THE OLD NAVY AND THE NEW.
A Contrast That Shows Greatly to tho
Latter's Advantage.


An effectivecontrast, we'll illustrating the
difference between the old navy and the
new, is presented by the fact that while
the Baltimore was getting ready for a
trial run that developed her maximum Of
20 i-5 knots, the iroquois, which had been
under repairs at Mare island, also had a
trial trip and made an average of
Z 1920 knots and a maximum OF
little over knots with a favoring
tide. The Iroquois was one of the
vessels we were relying upon for over
awning the Germans at Apia andda terward
for sending up to Behring sea to help the
Rush TO chase the sealers and TO brighten
the l6-knot armor clad Switsure and her
companions. We can afford TO be amused
now at the relics of the old feet like the
Iroquois, when at San Francisco is found
the Charleston with her average of IS 2-6
knots and a maximum of 1Sl knots made
on her trial trip.
The gunboat Tetrel, which failed at first
TO develop the horsepower required,
l,100 is believed TO be capable of that
power now, and it is probable that she
will be accepted by the department. Her
builders, however, will have to pay s., 100
penalties.

QUIETLY PASSES AWAY.
wILKIE COLLINS STRICKEN DOWN
BY BRONCHITIS.

The Famous English Writer Dies mt HIS
Home I'm London-Bricf sketch of tho
Life Of tho Author of 1.-The Woman In
White"
A London dispatch says: Wilkie Collins,
the famous novelist, died Monday morning.
At midnight friend who had been at the
house brought news that the end was near.
Mr.. Collins had been ailing for some time
and finally succumbed TO an attack of
bronchitis.
The great novelist who has just died was
the most cherished friend OF Charles
Dickens, TO whom he was related by mar
riage. Collins was born in London in
January, 1924, and was the son of a cele-
brated painter. After completing his
school education he went on trip to
Italy with his parents. He was articled
for four years TO tea merchant, but soon
tired Of commercial life and entered Lin
coins Inn as a student of law. While
there he began literary work His first
ambitious production was a biography OF
his father, published in 1913. From this
time he devoted himself entirely 10 ltera-
ture: His principal stories are: ''An-
tonina, after Dark. 4" dead Secret, A"
''Woman in White, " "No Name, 4" "Moon-
stone, " and ''New Magdalen." Mr.. Collins
has written some dramatic works, OF
which the Frozen Deep is probably the
best known.
Other stories written by Mr. Collins
have been almost as successful as those
mentioned. Among them are "Arma-
dale" Nan and Wife" and "Poor Miss
Finch" Most of them contain deep and
intricate plots, the interest being centered
upon this feature rather than upon the
strength Of the characters themselves.
Publishers were always eager to secure his
works. Mr.. Collins made from $3.50, 600
TO 300, 600 by his pen. and by shrewd
investment of the money became COM
paratively wealthy man.
Wilkie Collins was of genial and affa-
bic disposition, and made many friends in
this country on the occasion of his visit
here some twelve or fifteen years ago. He
was tireless worker, and though his
novels were numerous they were written
with the utmost care.

REDISCOvERED An OLD NINE.
A Rich Treasure Field Found by n
Hunter In California.

Monterey, CAL, dispatch: Intelli-
gence has been brought to town by
one of the Foreman boys, who lives near
the head of the Carmel river, that the
long-lost mine known TO early settlers as
the maria Roman Mine" had been
found. He had often been told how an
Indian woman used TO go away and in the
course Of a few days return with large
amounts Of silver ore, hich she
would assay herself at the mine.
Where the mine was located had always
been a mystery, and even to-day some old
Indians around Monterey tell about the
lost mine which old Marie Roman had.
The mine, if accounts are' correct, is
located near the head of the Carmel river,
about fifteen miles from Monterey, and
was found by Mr.. Foreman while deer
hunting. He also found the old furnace
and instruments with which Marie used TO
crush ore. The news has created great
excitement here and several parties are
making preparations to go the mine.

SERIOUS CHURCH SQUABBLE.

Two Factions Accuse Each Other of Set
ting Fire To the Church Building.
At Red Lake Falls, Mimi. ST.
Joseph's Catholic church was discovered
to be on fire last night at midnight, and
before the flames were gotten under con-
troll the church and its contents were to-
tally destroyed. The fire is the sequel
TO an intensely bitter fight which has
been raging between the French and
German Catholics of Polk county for six
months The fire was incendiary, as the
men first on the scene claim they saw a
three gallon can of oil underneath the
altar. Catholics here are much affected
over the occurrence. Each faction claims
the other is guilty of the crime. Rev.
Father Marcel, who was at first suspected
by his enemies, was at The West Side for
three hours previous to and at tho time of
the fire, and so could not have taken any
personal part in the affair. A feeling OF
depression pervades the whole Catholic
community on account of il. Bishop
Ireland is severely censured for not giving
prompt attention to the troubles here.
