Mann Brothers Great Ciothing.sale.
A rare opportunity to secure strictly
first class clothing at greatly reduced
prices is offered this week by Mann Bro
theirs, the popular and enterprising clo-
thiers of Grand and Orchard streets, New
York. They have supplemental the ex-
tensiye business of their large establish
ment with the purchase of the entire
stock of high grade clothing of UnderhiIl,
Cornell and Brown, retail clothiers, at
Nos. s46. 7a5 and $50 Broadway, and
placed this full line on special sale at a
discount OF SO 1.3 per cent. It is an occa-
sion for real bargains in clothing which
many will appreciate, and tie well-known
standing Of both firms will doubtless en-
courage q liberal response. The sale will
take place at the former store OF Under
hill, Cornell aud Brown, as above, corner
of Broadway and Astor Place. New York.

that in the future such cases would not

A Rumor of Trouble in the Scottis h
American Athletic Club.
A rumor is current that there is some
financial trouble in the Scottish Ameri-
can Athletic Club. Tie fact that the
books of the club are in the hands
of supervising committee, and the
exceeding reticence of Treasurer Molen-
hauer and other subscribers of the club
when approached last night, lent color te
the rumor.
The story is that the bank balance OF
the club is not what it should be.

body seems to understand what the little
shots are that come from these guns. Every
body knows what common individual
pepper and salt is on Il dinng-table; these
little shots and shells are about that size,
and when it is remembered that they come
at the rate Of thirty minute in the hands
OF an expert it means mischief.
From the size of the pepper-box the pro-
jrctiles reach six pounds. The six-pounder
HOtchkiss gun can fire at the rate of fifteen
a minute. The shells from all these rapid
fire guns have penetrative power that is
simply wonderful. They have a way of
testing item in the Washington Navy-yard
which gives very good idea. They take a
cast-steel gun-carriage frame and to test its
tensile strength they fire one Of these little
one-pounder projectiles at IL. The usual re-
suit is that the little proJectile goes through
those three inches of solid steel like a
cheese-knife. If the little projnctile does
not break the steel the gun-carriage is ap-
proved
This will illustrate the power of modern
ordnance. From the very smallest caliber
to the very highest caliber the projectile
has penetrative force that is almost iucal-
culable.
OF the new ships going to South American
waters the Boston and Atlanta are the best
type. Both these ships have been tried
under all sorts of conditions; both have
been in furious gales and their sea-going
qualities thoroughly established. They are
pretty ships. | went on board the Atlanta
in New York the other day, and Captain
Phillip, who commands her, said that she
was one of the most remarkable ships that
he had ever sailed in. she buries her
nose and doesn't know when she can lift it,
yet we are all as dry as a bone" Captain
Phillip also said that he would take his
chances in that ship, so far as her battery
power went, with any vessel OF her
class that ever foated. The Boston
is the sister ship of the Atlanta,
and the Charleston is next In rank
These, with the Baltimore, Philadelphia,
San francisco and the lesser vessels, like
the Concord and the Bennington, comprise
The morning call., 1891-11-30

Inc new fleet upon which the Government
must now depend. There are whole lot
of other new vessels on the stocks but not
yet launched or finished. Among the lat,
ter are the. two cruisers Cincinnati ana
Raleigh. They ought to have been lnished
long ago Then come the cruisers 9, 10 and
II, OF which the Detroit is the type. They
also ought to have been finished long ago.
Then comes cruiser No. G. building in San
Francisco; also the great cruiser New ork,
of over 5000 tons, launched, but not yet
ready. Then comes the Monterey, the great
turrCt ship being built in San Francisco,
and last Of all the two great cruisers known
as Nos. u and IS, of 1900 tons each, which
are the peculiar pride of Secretary Tracy.
He calls them Phi ates."
These are the fast ships of the new navy.
When we get down to fighting qualities
there has to be another type. For twenty-five
years the Government has sought that type.
1t has found combination OF several types.
1t has spent about S12 o0u, 900 on the five So
called monitors. 1t is spending S5,000,00O
more upon the Maine and Texas. The only
ship of these seven that is now ready Tor
action is the Miantonomah. The latter ship
is the only one complete of all those that
were ordered. She is to-day the most pow
erful war-engine afioat under the American
flag. Enthusiastic people at the navy-yard
say that they would take their chances In
her against any enemy. She is unsinka-
bic. She has two bottoms and JIG water
tight compartments. Her frame is so strong
that a torpedo would hardly impress
it, if any other ship we're to attempt to ram
her it would be a failure; if she was ever to
hit any other vessel in collision, heaven
help that vessel. She is huge, ponderous
steel raft, with machine power enough to
give her ten knots speed she has coal capac-
lty Tor twenty days steaming; she needs no
convoy, she can 60 around the world all by

But as to armament: The Chesapeake,
winch was captured IN 1913 by the British
snip shannon. carried in all 40 guns. They
we're distributed as follows: Main deck,
twenty eight long 1S-pouuders; quarter
deck, sixteen short 32-pOunders; tore"astle.
tonr short 32-pounders and one Long
Tom" 1S-pounder Tie total weight of
metal carried by these guns at one dis
charge WAS 1851 pounds. There were no
shells in those days-eYerything was solid
shot. Compare that battery with tie high
powered, rlfed breech loading batteries of
to-day. The Chicago, for instance has
eight 6-inch ritied guns. two 5-inch and four
S-.nch. The four S-iuch guns comprise the
main battery Each of the 8-inch guns car
rles shell Of go pounds and takes
charge Of fifty pounds OF powder. Each of
the 6-inch guns carries she'll of 100 pounds
ana thirty- i've pounds OF powder. The two
5-Inch guns carry she'll Of SO pounds and
take thirty pounds Of powder Every one
Of thee guns has a penetration SO far
ahead Of the old days that it would paralyze
almost anybody who had not made a study
o! the sui ject.
TIE MODERN battery of to-day is so far
superior to that OF the olden DAYS that IL is
really worthy of comparison. The Boston
carries ten times the amount of metal that
the old Chesapeake did; the Newark carries
twice as much If we are going to gauge
the modern ships by the old ones we viii
find that the Newark carries four times the
weight OF metal that her eminent predeces-
sOrs did, and in addition seventeen rapid
firing guns, which the Old navy never knew
Of Most people thinking about the new
navy do not appreciate the full value of
what IS known as the rapid firing battery.
he idea Is that because one-pOunder gun
sounds small it does not amount to any
Thing, but That Oue-p under gun is the most
vicious on the whole ship. The reason is
that one man can handle it; he trains it as
he would rifle with a shoulder piece, he
loads 1t with his left hand and bazes away
with his right and he can fire thirty shots a
minute. Another peculiar thing is that no.

ENERGETIC WOMEN
What an Association Accomplished b,
Way of Improyements

What Association Accomplished by
Way of improvements.
A hundred women of the little town Of
Summit, \. j., have been quietly accom-
plishing some good results the past few
years. During that time they have banded
together as a village improvement assocla-
ton, and by vigorous, well directed work
have brought about a remarkable change in
the appearance Of the place. Beginning
at the station as sort of focus, they graded
and nacadamized the grounds, laid cross
walks and cutters and started grass plats and
planted flower beds, making the first i'm
preston OF the visitor most favorable
Few shade trees existed i'll the town along
the streets and the association appointed an
arbor daY, planting and looking after trees
to the number of over a hundred.
The poor sidewalks were taken in hand.
and with some aid from property-owners
5000 feet of stone tagging has been laid.
They bought two sprinkling carts, the
service of which is paid for by small pri-
vate tax.
During the eight or nine years of its ex-
istence an average af about $1,000 year has
been paid out by the association. but the
heavy expenses are practically over, and it
will now be possible to continue the work
for less money. The dues are 81 year for
membership, or S25 secures life member
ship Extra money is raised by subscrip-
ton and entertainments. One more deed
which deserves mention was the eradiction
OF the eln-tree bug from the trees. For
four seasons the women treated nearly q
thousand trees under direction from the
Agricultural Department at Washington,
succeeding at last in banishing the pests
