THE NEW NAVY.
Bids for Three More Vessels Soon to Be
Invited.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Next week the
navy department will advertise for pro-
posals for three more vessels: harbor
defense ram, 7,500-ton torpedo gun
boat, and another first-class torpedo
boat. Plans for the ram have been
about completed, and work is we'll ad-
vanced on the plans for both the hull
and machinery of the torpedo cruiser.
The act authorizing this vessel fixes
her speed requirements at twenty-three
knots, and this high speed, it is feared,
may deter some shipbuilders from
bidding, although her engines will prob
ably develop nearly 900 horsepower,
and ought to be able to drive her
through the water at the required
speed.
For the torpedo boat no detailed plans
will be prepared by the department, but
definite requirements will be sublined.
Within these bidders will have free lib
erty to make their own plans. This
boat will have 115 tons displacement,
making her about II tons larger than
the Gushing. She will be about 154 feet
long and with 15 feet extreme beam. If
all the expectations are realized, she
will be able to show the speed required
to insure her acceptance-twenty-fi
knots per hour-but she is expected to
make at least twenty-seven knots, which
is about the highest mark torpedo boat
builders have set for themselves.

The Action of the Mormon Conference
Creates JOY at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Most of the SEN
ators and congressman have left Wash
ington, but the news from the Mormon
conference was heard with profound
satisfaction by the officials hereDwho have
mainly to deal with the church in Utah.
"This is indeed important news" said
General Noble, secretary of the interior,
when informed of the action of the
general Mormon conference. 8" am
glad to hear of it, and hope
the action was taken in all sincerity. If
the action of the Mormon conference
brings forth proper fruits, it naturally
will tend to relax the rigor of the
law. 1t is polygamy that it is desired to
exterminate. confess the recent land
ing OF large number of female immi-
grants at New York does not. to my
mind, tally very we'll with this official
action of the Mormon church, nor does
it indicate reform. However, let US ac-
cept it in the spirit of sincerity, and
trust that they really propose to conform
to the law of the land. 1t is much pre-
ferable to have them relinquish polyg-
amy voluntarily than to be compelled to
crush it out by the strong arm of the
law"
Attorney General Miller, upon whom
devolves the duty of prosecuting those
charged with polygamous practices,
said "The significance of this proceed
ing on the part of the general Mormon
council will have to be developed by
circumstances. Whether the set of men
who in the past have been as wise as
serpents, are suddenly going to become
as harmless as doves, is a problem which
the future alone can solve. Probably
they begin to realize that they cannot
resist the power of this government"

REDWOOD Cry, CAL, Oct. Mrs.
George WehI lin, nee Miss Louisa Ess-
linger, who committed suicide on her
wedding night, was buried yesterday.
Her husband was overcome. At the
same time letter arrived for the dead
girl, from Kansas City, from her brother.
The letter was written on October 1st, in
German. An extract was worded
as follows: ''Louisa, you know
you are very strange girl !;
but you know there is something
wrong with you; that you fell twenty
five feet on your head, and you had bet
ter think well before you marry"
A niece of Mr.. Grover, who was quite
intimate with the deceased, said Lou
lisa was strange girl, and from what we
saw of her we have come to the conclu-
sion she was not right in her head.
From the first day she was engaged to
George she treated him harshly, and did
not appear to like him.
don't think she was ever engaged to
any one else, for she told me she had
several chances to get married in Port
land, but had refused them all. She
was apparently opposed TO marriage
toward the last, and told my uncle she
would take poison some day." Wehrlin
said to friend that if he could get his
money back he would tell something
about his marriage.
The stomach of the dead girl was re-
moved, by order OF the coroner, and he
sent it to San Francisco to have the con-
tents analysed.
Wehrlin, who was coachman for
prominent family of this city, it is stat
ed, put all his money into the cottage
he bought for his bride, and gave a
mortgage on the place for few hundred
dollars he could not pay. The cottage
was sold to him by Mrs. Groner, aunt
of the deceased girl.

pecially on behalf Of Father Walter, of

Bishop Beck with,s Daath.

The death of Bishop Beckwith will be
deeply and widely mourned, for he was
greatly esteemed, not only in Georgia, but
also in other states. He was an eloquent
and powerful preacher, whose reputation
was not confined by state lines. During
the many years that he was bishop of this
diocese he steadily increased his hold upon
the affections of the people, and there are
few, if any, bishops of the Episcopal church
whose work has been crowned with greater
success
He had many warm friends in this city.
and his coming here from time to time in
the discharge Of his official duties was
always an occasion of more than ordinary
interest. A large congregation invariably
gathered to hear him preach, and his dis
courses were listened to with intense in
terest and produced a lasting impression.
Although not an old man, not having
reached his sixtieth year, and although his
health was not robust during the last few
years of bis life, he did SO much for his
church and made 50 great reputation as
pulpit orator that history will accord him
very high place among the bishops of his
denomination. OF course the place his death
made vacant can be filed, but it will not
be an easy matter to find one who can fill
1t SO satisfactorily as he did.

Willing to Do the souar' Thing.

We had got through to Silver City by stage
without adven ture, says the Denver Nelcs, and
perhaps l had more reason than any other pos
senger to felicitate myself on the fact as was
carrying $500 in greenbacks for friend who
was going into business. The day after arriving
strange man came to the Office and asked if
he could have a few minutes private converse
ton. He looked like a prospecuor or silver
finder, aad l took him into the inner office
where he quietly sat down and began:
II am no hand to beat around the bush, but
believe in coming straight to the point
"Well?"
well, you brought in IS, 900 with you yester-
day"
Suppose / didf''
81 knew you were coming, and for three days
was posted to intercept you. L intended TO
hold up your stage and take everything"
Why didn't you doit?'
burro stumbled with me at bad place and
pitched me off. aud for a whole day | hardly
moved q rod. I'm so sore and lame now that l
can scarcely get about"
"Well?"
THE kernel of this thing is just here. You
were my meat, fair and square. Them eight
thousand was as good as in my own pocket
Owing to circumstances beyond my control you
pulled through. 1t was a stroke of luck / lost
my animal and both my revoivers, and am hurt
besides Are you honorable enough to give me
per C mt. on that money to go into business
again:"
He wanted per cent but 1 finally got off
with $780, and he bought a revolver and some
blankets with it and went of and stopped a
stage and was shot through the head.

So long as women will be foolish men will be

companion was a traveller, who saw in her a

At that instant the conductor came in with a

he tore it open. Next moment he fell forward in

Harrison seems to think his own state
papers are 'agin" him. That appears to
worry and perplex the old man. How they
can look upon that antique hat and not
adore the owner is beyond him. So is the
presidential nomination just at this lunct-
ure. Negotiations are now in progress by
Harrison republicans for control of several
daily papers whose admiration for the Hon.
Hat Harrison is doubtful, and whose in
fiuence would be necessary in Indiana to
prevent systematic opposition to his re-
nomination. These papers which syndi-
cate of the Presidents friends wish to con-
troll include the Evansville Journal, Terre
Haute Cypress, Logansport Journal, Lafay-
cite Courier, South Bend Tribune and Fort
Wayne Gazette. Several of them are such
pronounced friends of Judge Gresham that
the Harrison men regard their control as
absolutely necessary to a solid delegation of
administration republicans III the next ma
tional convention. Whether the plants will
be purchased outright or leased has not vet
been definitely settled. But the old mau
must have them. So he will pass around
the hat.

Had Eggs in Ris Shoes.

Congressman-elect Daniel Lockwood Of New
orr, who is in the field for the speakership of
the Fifty second congress, says the Chica 20
Post was an orator long before his rhetoric
hep9d carry Grover Cleveland aloft. Away
oack IN his school days at Hamburg he was an
orator OF such note that he was CHOSEN valedic-
torlan OF his class. He prepared for the event
by ordering new pair of shoes. Late in the
afternoon OF the great day the shoes came
but, great heavens they wouldn't 20 on. Dan
hadn't another pair nit to use. He summoned
the shoemaker TO conference and. while the
perspiration rolled off his face, he explained the
situation.
That's nothing" said Crfspin. ''get a couple
of eggs and breat one into each Shoe"
Dan did so, and the result was charming. He
went into those shoes like ducks foJt in the
mud. His valedictory was the greatest effort
OF Lockwood's career up to that date The
words were honeyed and the gestures were
graceful es a snake swallowing frog. All his
friends and relatives were spellbound. But
right in the midst of it the author stopped
Agony was incarnate in his features His hair
rose on end. He became pale aud red in turns
What was the matter: Had he forgotten his
speech? No; he had just thought of those
two egg onelets, and would have given all he
had, or ever hoped to have, for chance to
.augh.

Thu Southern Section of the City.
Look out for the southern section of the
city! There are going to be changes there
that will astonish everybody. The electric
cars on the Belt Line will begin to run this
week, and that line will give rapid transi.
to the southern section. Rapid transit is
all that is needed to give that section
boom much greater than the one it he's
already had
By means OF the electric cars people liv-
ing in the southern section will be able to
reach Bay street in just about half the time
1t takes them to reach it now. And as there
are no more available building lots in the
center OF the city, building in that section
will be SO encouraged that in a little while
it will not be an easy matter to find availa-
bic building lots even there.
The council has done a great deal recently
toward opening the streets so as to make
that section desirable place of residence,
but there is a great deal more wnich it could
do. 1t should not let any distractions to
the city's growth remain, if it caa remove
them. Streets that are virtually closed are
Instructions, and the council should hasten
to open them.
Houses in Savannah are occupied as fast
as built, and surprisingly good rents are OBJ
tanned for them. And there is no doubt
that the demand for houses will keep ahead
of the supply for years to come. The high
rents are a certain indication that there are
not nearly as many dwelling houses here as
could be rented profitably
Savannah is on the up grade and she will
continue on the up grade if the people con-
tinue to have confidence in her, and give
her all the help they can. She will pay
back with good interest all the money that
may be invested in her. Those who neg
lected to invest in her lands a few years
ago regret now having done so.
