PETROLEUM FOR THE NAVY.
The Advantages Claimed Are to Be Given q
Practical Trial Soon.

Practical Trial Soon.
Chicago Tribune.l
The Navy Department. of the United States
is about to make experiments with petro-
leum as a substitute for coal as fuel along
the same lines as are now In progress under
the direction of the English and Italian
Governments The modern man-of-war is
not constructed for rapid coaling ,and her car
rying capacity Is limited to II supply of such
fuel necessary to the consumption of few
days. Hence the fuel question is an import
ant one, especially in the case of long voY-
ages and blockades. The English expeh-
ments ON the torpedo boat Sunderland are
described as being highly successful The
petroleum is fed in Jets which are disinte-
grated as they leave the burners by air
compressed to 40 pounds to the square inch.
Each jet gives q clear, bright flame about
81 feet long and inches in diameter. The
flame from all of them fills the whole space
from the mouth of the furnace to the tube
plate of the boiler, and it gives forth neither
oil be transferred from ship to ship at sea
more easily than coal, and has much
greater efficiency for equal weights, but 1t
can be carried in double rr cellular bottoms,
thus giving greater stability to the vessel.
Also an important advan taRe Is gained by
the fact that the heat can be regulated al
most instantaneously by simply shutting of
a number of the burners, which is an i'm
portant item in maneuvering. 1t needs but
a small force of flremen, and of course gives
freedom from ashes and other refuse.

TERRoRITE AND CIVILIZATION.

The Preparations OF bne UnlCeu STATES Tor
War Attracts Considerable Attention.
Toronto Empire.
Soft as Terrorite can be utilized in shat
tering rocks and tearing up the mountains
and compelling them to yield up their hid
den treasures for the use of man we give 1t
hearty welcome; but the genius of humanity
can scarcely rejoice over 1t when contem.
plated as an instrument for the destruction
OF human life And, without meaning any
disrespect to the people of the United States,
who are only following in the footsteps of
the older nations we cannot but look upon
the exhaustion of what are sometimes
euphemistically called 1.-The resources of
civilization in the production of such
terribly destructive agents as a terrible
satire on our boasted civilization.
And that there should be just as much
activity displayed in the New World where
the necessity of war can only be regarded as
among the remote possibilities, as in the old
World, where feuds that have descended to
the present generation from barbaric times
have turned the nations into so many hostile
camps Is certainly one of the saddest pres
ages of the future. The warlike prepara-
tions of the United States, whether they are
on so extensive a scale or not as those of
Germany and France, occupy quite as much,
If not more, space in the public mind.

WOMAN's RIGHTS.
An Interesting Experiment About to Be
Tried in New Zealand.

An Interesting Experiment About to Be
Tried in New Zealand.
Syracuse Journal.1
Although New Zealand lies within the ex-
treme southwestern boundary of the West
ern Hemisphere, its relations are almost
purely Oriental, and such are its associa-
tions in the minds of the reading public.
Hence, it is somewhat of an astonisher to
Occidental minds to learn that Sir George
Gray, the new Premier of New Zealand, pro-
poses that a new legislative chamber shall
be formed, which shall be the principal of
two legislative bodies, and, most interesting
of all, shall be composed entirely of women.
BY this plan women would not only be given
their 'rights," but would be placed whore
some of them, perhaps, imagine they be-
long, in authority over the men.
There is one other Oriental country where
this rule is practiced in a modified form
the Kingdom Of Corea. in which women not
only choose and divorce their husbands, but
practice a form of polygamy common no
whore else in the world, every woman being
entitled to four or five husbands, while few
of the men are fortunate in undisputed pos
session of an entire wife. The General Gov
ernment, however, is left to the men, the
women being satisfied to rule with iron hand
each in the small community of which she
is the head. Women's Fighters the world
over will watch the New Zealand expert
ment with anxious eyes.

MEEK AND HUMBLE PRISONERS
In the Lawrence County Jail Petition for
Their Freedom.

NEW CASTLE, Sept a.-[Speciak l-Prison-
ers In the Lawrence county jail have be-
come exceedingly repentant lately, and
mayor Brown has received numerous notes
from them asking for clemency for various
causes He is now convinced that there Is
letter writer in jail who is using his talents
to secure the liberty of his fellow prisoners.
4 day or two ago he received a letter from
william Handle, who not only has been in
jail at least 40 times, but who has also been
incarcerated in the Allegheny workhonse.
Inc letter was so meek and humble that His
Honor lost no time in discharging the pris-
oner. Following Is copy:
COUNTY JAIL, September Is.
HONORABLE SIR-Upon seriously reviewing my
past career of which am heartily ashamed, have
resolved to shun whisky and all temptations which,
In my way, lead TO 1t, and to go to work and be-
come man. l am now of good job. and
hunDly ASK you TO give me my liberty that / may
make start TO do all that Is honOrable and chris
tlan hke, while my enthusiasm in that direction is
at It's proper heat. Hoping this will meet with
yours. WILIIAn HANDLE
The same day William was released. The
next day the Mayor received a letter from
an old umbrella mender stating that he was
tired OF his sinful life, and promising great
reformation if ne was released. Since then
Mayor Brown has received at least a dozen
letters from prisoners, and he now is certain
that they are endeavoring to work scheme
ON him.

SENATOR BRICE,,of Ohio or New York,
when cornered by a lot of interviewers for
a statement of;his attitude on the silver
question, said: "1f anybody can find out

prove what he says" The Senator is as
cautiousas the Hibernian who, when asked
whether he was guilty or not guilty of an
assault and battery under spirituous influ-
ence, declined to say until he had heard the
evidence. The Senator wants more evil
dence as to the way the cat will jump be-
fore he can tell where'he stands on silver.

THE sNEERs OF MIR. MILLS
Caused by the Establishment OF the Tin
Plate Industry.

Springfield Republic-Times.J
Mr. Mills sneers at the tin plate industry
Do workingmen know why? Because the
establishment of a new industry that will
give employment to American workmen in
making $50, 900 worth of tin plate per year
is a trophy of protection that will strike
death blow to free trade doctrines such as
Mr.. Mills deals in.
Major Mckinley doesn't sneer at anv
American industry new or old. Every Board
of Trade in the country j. trying to secure
new industries. Mckinley is on the side OF
all Boards of Trade and all the cities that
want new factories or the enlargement of
old ones You can repeal the Mckinley law
and send thousands of the concerns we now
have over to England. But Majo Mckinley
keeping them in the United States. The
moving is all this way, now. That's the way
it ought to be.

If There We're None Marriage Would Be a
More Serious Affair.
Cincinnati Times-Star.l
South Carolina has no divorce laws and
will not recognize the laws on that subject
of any other State. In South Carolina to be
once married is to stay married until it Is
time to call in the undertaken 1t is recorded
that u South Carolinian not many years ago
left the wife of his early manhood, and, re-
moving to Florida, obtained a divorce, and
at once assumed second matrimonial re-
sponsibilities.
Later he returned to his native State to
learn from South Carolina court that the
validity of his second marriage was not
recognized in South Carolina, and that his
children by that marriage could not, at least
in that State, inherit his property. II the
laws of all the States approached the per-
pendicular attitude of South Carolina on
divorce, marriage would be regarded as O
much more serious contract than men and
women now regard it. Courtship would be
longer drawn out and marriage, therefore,
not as sudden as an electric shock

The Bast Field for Investment.

European investors, after considerable
costly experience in South American enter
prises, find that the United States offers the
sa fest and best field for the employment of
their money. This accounts for the renewal
of the heavy purchases of this country's Sc
curities on foreign account. Undoubtedly
immense sums Of foreign cash will be ex-
pended in the United States in the next year
OF two These investments will be well
coined. There was no sense in the old cry
that the British syndicates which were
operating here extensively in 1888 and 1889
were hurting the country. The more money
that is sent here, whether from England,
Germany, France or any other locality, for
active employment the better.

the fact that President Cleveland gave $l0,-
900 to the campaign fund of 1885, Does the
esteemed Press mean to imply that this was

should have remembered the cogency of the
fact that after paying that $4,000 Mr. Cleve-

A C0NQuERiNG HERO.

EDITOR BULLETIN
A conquering hero comes out in
the Advertiser this morning as the
political exponent of a conquered
political party, but as such exponent
h. hardly fulfIIs the patriotic mis-
sion laid out by the Scottish bard.
Most heroes stop fighting when they
are whipped, but this hero desires
muchly to conquer something or
somebody after his party has been
"scooped."
He evidently proposes hoodooing
himself and purposey makes some
very glaring political and historical
mlsstatements concerning facts upon
which most people here and else
where are thoroughly posted. 1t
seems that this political ghost will
not down, however much the more
conservative elements of the Reform
party desire midnight quiescence.
The general public on the other
hand, sees an axe to grind, held by
the usual political experts, and the
public also sees a political ghost
turning defunct party's grindsione.
