NEW NAVAL VESSELS,
Bids Invited for the Construction OF the
american Ram.

The Secretary of the Navy has issued an adj
vertisement inviting proposals for the con-
struction Of the Ammen harbor defense ram, Of
about 1850 tons displacement; torpedo boat
No. 9, of about l12 tons displacement, and tor
pedo cruiser No. /, of about $50 tons displace-
ment. Bids for the ram and the torpedo boat
will be opened Saturday, December 20, and for
the torpedo cruiser Wednesday, February IL,
1891. The limit Of cost FOR the latter vessel is
fixed at S35O,OOO, and the contractor il re-
quircd TO guarantee the extraordinary speed Of
twenty-three knots per hour maintained for
four successive runs over a measured mile
course. For each quarter knot above twenty
three up to and including twenty-four knots q
premium OF $4,000 is TO be paid, and for each
quarter knot above twenty-four the premium
If TO be go, 900. II she falls snort of twenty
three knots penalty OF $4,000 will be de-
Quoted for each quarter knot below that speed,
and if she fails below twenty-five knots she is
to be rejected This il the highest speed yet
required of a naval vessel
Congress did not fix the limit OF cost for the
Ammen ram, but the bids are expected TO be
well below million. She Is required 10 MAIN
tain a speed of seventeen knots an hour for two
hours, with a premium of Sl5,OOO for each
quarter knot above that speed. and is 70 be re-
jected If she falls below il. She was designed
for eighteen knots. but as her model is SO en-
tirely novel no very close calculations can
be made on her speed Bids for her will be re-
ceiyed on the department plans alone.
The torpedo boat is to cost not moro than
s125, 900, and is 10 have speed on two-hours'
trial of not less than twenty-four knots, with
premium OF 81, 800 for each quarter knot in ex-
cess up to twenty-five knots and $4,000 for
each quarter knot over twenty-five. II Is ex-
pected that she will have a measured mile
speed OF az least twenty-seven knots. She is to
be built on the plans of the contractor, and 10
is probable that Herreschof, the blind boat
builder. of Bristol, r. L, who built the Cush-
ing, will get the contract. The harbor defense
ram must be completed within eighteen
months. the torpedo boat within twelve months
and the torpedo cruiser within fifteen months
from the dates Of the respective contracts.
Payments on the ram will DO made in twenty
equal instailments, on the torpedo boat in five
in ten equal installments, as the work pro-

construction, far better than the miserable
tliatched novels for which Smth-Barry has
long exacted comfortable rents. They are
nearly all two stories in height, very few of
the older houses being more than one. They
have proper sewer facilities. and are cheer
full, roomy and modern. There will be rents
to pay. of course, but they will be moderate
and will be paid to friends.

one of what we read about Oklahoma
There is nothing of the Western lack of thor

houses seem to an American quite as well
built as many which are run up every year

once, when the ten-year-old lads of the

will be moderate. Most of the old houses

throughout the whole three miles was struck
by the iveliness of the road and especially
at the amazing frequency of the Irish

known in the land of his love. There
we're droves of pigs with red-cheeked
lads trotting after them. There were
donkey carts filled with half-grUwn
pigs, and with ragged old women seated on
top. There were single pigs walking in
stately majesty along the road to the stir

air was filled with their clamor, which. grow.

and the main street, nearly mile in length,

A STRANGE KLEPTUMANIAC.

"A Man Once a Banker Arrested for Steal
ing Cambria handkerchief.
"a man was arrested in the act of steal
ing a pocket handkerchief from a lady,"
writes Vienna correspondent to a London
paper. "He was formerly well-to-do
banker in a suburb when the mania seized
him Of collecting ladies' cambria handker-
chiefs. He would accost lady in the street
and ask her to sell him her handkerchief.
If she refused he would get into temper
and bid more and moro for it until he got it.
Many women in the neighborhood traded
upon his madness, and the man spent all his
money in this way. After becoming bank
rupt. about five years ago, he began to steal
handkerchiefs, and he was imprisoned for
three weeks about four years ago. As lie
had never been caught since, the police be-
lieved that his Imprisonment had cured him,
but when taken he WAS found to have fif-
teen cambria handkerchiefs upon him, which
he confessed to having stolen in one hour.
He has never stolen any other article, and
every week he was in the habit of destroy
ing by fire the common handkerchiefs which
he had stolen by mistake, as his strange
mania is limited to cambria, especially if
scented. In his bedroom four hundred and
thirty-four cambria pocket handkerchiefs
were found, and 1t is believed that he has
concealed many more in hiding places which
he refuses to reveal. He was sent to mad

How the Hearts of Workin gmen Went
Out to Fellow Worker.
In pottery factory here there is a work
man who had one small invalid child at
home. He wrought at his trade with ex-
emplary fidelity, being always in the shop
with the opening Of the day. He managed,
however, to bear each evening to the bed
side of his wee lad" as he called him,
flower, bit of ribbon, or fragment of
crimson glass-indeed, anything that would
lie out on the white Counterpart and give
color to the room. He was quiet. I'M
sentimental man, but never went home
at night without something that would
make the wan face light up with joy at his
return. He never said to living soul that
he loved that boy so much. Still he went
on patiently loving him, and by and by he
moved that whole shop into positively real
but unconscious fellowship with him. The
workmen made curious little jars and cups
upon their wheels, and painted diminutive
pictures down their sides before they stuck
them into the corners Of the kiln at burning

going to interfere with fight when at tne
first had promised to be entirely their own.
But this new movement OF mine only &c,
centuated his graceful motion. The head
now turned in the air, like the head OF a
man. l had time to note, and record 1t
with Gel tainty, that the massive head and
the tumbled name lowered straight above
the shoulder. In fact the lower parts OF the
long name looked most like the long shaggy
beard of a man falling down upon his broad
breast. This | noted as he still kept on In
his sidewise circuit above us and around us
on the yellow sand and under the yellow
moon. AT times lie was almost Indlstlnct.
But the carriage of that heaG 1here was
a fine fascination in the lift and the move
ment and the turn OF that stately head shat
must ever be remembered, but can never be
described.
AS he came nearer-for his sidewise walk
was mainly IN our direction saw that he,
too, was yellow, a S il born OF this yellow
world in this yellow night, but his was
more pouderous yellow-the yellow OF red
and rusty old gold. At times he seemed al
most black, and all the time terrible.
In half minute more he would be too
