An Acquisition to the Navy.

The mammoth new battleship, chris
tened New York;" was landed in
Philadelphia, on the End inst. Fully
$4,000 people were present to witness
the feat, among others, Vice President
and Mrs. Morton, Mrs. Harrison, Score.
taries Fray, Noble and Rusk, and many
department officials and naval officers.
From a description Of the vessel given
in the New York Press, we CLEAN the
following information:
The New York, when equipped with
her armor and battery, will be n of
the most efficient fighting machines Of
modern times. Though she may be
relied upon to defend our coast against
all corners, her great speed, heavy
armor and powerful battery, make her
a weapon Of offense rather than one
of defense. 1t is in carrying a wal in
to the enemv's territory that she will
he of the greatest service to the'United
States, and even against one of Eng
lands latest h~attleships Of twice the
New York's displacement, our cruiser
would render a good account of herself.
The new cruiser is 1900 tons heavier
than the Maine. and 1850 tons heavier
than the Texas, both of which are looked
upon as sister ships to the New York.
Her engines will develop a power
equal to $4,000 horses. This will be
5000 more than that of any vessel now
in the navy. This great mass Of steel
will be driven through the water at the
rate Of twenty knots an hour, thus be-
ing able to capture and destroy nine
tenths of the merchant craft Of the
world. She will be flied as a flagship,
and every modern convenience That
can add to the health or comfort Of the
crew will be adopted.
Compared with some English ships
of her displacement, it will be found
that the New York is faster by three
knots than the best of these, and her
radius of action 5000 miles greater.
Our broadslde and turret armor is also
heavier, and being Of nickle steel will
offer greater resistance. In weight
and caliber the English guns have the
advantage, but gun for gun these of
American manufacture are more ef-
f%ective, and our superior maneuvering
qualities will enable us to slect our
own fighting range.

The Afaictlon Of the Fields.

Before the awful calamity that has
cvertaken the house and family Of
CYRUS w. FIELD the whole nation may
well stand appalled,. The world, as
we'll as the United States, owes to
CYRUS w. FIELD benefits that will
extend through all time. Hisown
career has been honorable and upright.
He was fortunes favorite for aquarter
Of a century. Then he became the
prey of Wall street associates and lost
million after million until he was
comparatively a poor man again. But
he still has ample means of subsistence
even for a man who had been a
millionaire in eight figures. Pursuing
the v tenor of his way in con-
tentment lie was confronted with
financial difficulties in which his
favorite son, EDWARD NJ. FIELD, had
become involved, and gave up the key
to his safety deposit vault that the son
might get securities to use to tide over
the crisis. He did not know or
suspect that the younger man was so
deeply involved that millions would not
lift him out or that he was unbalanced
in his mind-a lunatic. All his
securities went into the hands of the
crazy son and We're swept away IN the
vortex.
The aged consort of his life died just
before this occurrence, his sons firm
goes to the wall, his son attempts
suicide and is removed to an insane
asylum, one of his daughters lies dying
of a deadly malady, another daughter
is FRUSTRATED by the woes of her
relatives. Then there came to him
like a thunderbolt from a clear sky
the information that his son had taken
all his stocks and bonds and sold them.
He himself had sold the home in which
he lived to secure money to help his
SON firm. Is it any wonder that in the
privacy of his chamber, his own life
hanging by a thread, this unfortunate
but grand American should say in
despair, II am as poor as the day I
came into the world?"
There has not been a sadder spectacle
IN history than this stricken mans con.
ditlon or the affection of his family
Nor has the world ever had a greater
lesson that riches may take wings and
fly away, and that men should pin
their faith or other things than wealth
as the ean of happiness.-New York

Of Roses.n

One of the popular paintings at the
New York Academy of Design was a
yard-long panel Of Roses. A crowd
was always before it. One art critic
exclaimed, "Such a bit of nature

beautiful for one man to hide away

seized the idea, and spent twenty
thousand dollars to reproduce the
painting. The result has been a
triumph Of artistic delicacy and color.

Writing In Erect Characters.

As most adults write without much
regard to tho angle which the words
take, it is to them q matter Of supreme
indifference whether upright or sloping
calligraphy is best for their health. Bus
with children it is different, Hence
there may he something in the recon-
mendation of Drs. Won Reuss and
Lorenz to the supreme council of by
giene for Austria that in future children
should be taught to write in erect char
acters, for in this form Of penmanship
the scholar faces his work, and is spared
the twist of the body and neck which is
always observable in those who write
slantwise, and the tendency to spinal
curvature induced thereby.-London

Does it Contain Ammonia ?

The charge is being made that the Royal Baking
Powder contains ammonia. We would have supposed that
the emphatic condemnation Of ammonia baking powders
by the most eminent physicians throughout the land, and
the fact Of the three leading chemists of Minnesota mai.
ing their report to the Senate Committee recently showing
that bread baked with the "Royal" contained ammonia
and the hostility now being manifested by the public
pgainst all ammonia and alum baking powders would have
driven them permanently from the market.
In view of the fact that Baking Powder has become
m indispensable article in every kitchen, it is gratifying
to know that there are brands in the market to which no
suspicion Of any kind has ever attached. Dr. Prices
Cream Baking Powder is q pure cream of tartar powdss
free from every faint Of ammonia, alum OF other harmful
substance.
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is r.
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, :
Alum, or any other adulterznt. In fact, the
purity Of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.

MANGANESE.
A New and Important Feature to be
Added TO the Mining Industries Of
the Southern Hills.

For q number Of wears it has been
known that deposits Of manganese,
more or less extensive, existed in the
Southern Hills. Prospectors have quite
frequently, in their search for other
minerals, picked up pieces Of this odd
looking rock, looked it over, and care
lessly tossed it aside, some Of the more
knowing ones realizing even as they
did it, that could it be found in large
quantities it would prove a bonanza to
the fortunate finder. Some two or
three weeks ago Messrs. Fred and
August Heidepriem and Andrew
Barber, all Of this city, encouraged by
rich manganese groupings, made a
number of locations about fifteen miles
southwest Of Custer, and in the vicinity
Of Point Of Rocks. Since then they
have more thoroughly Investigated
their find, and the result is highly
satisfactory, to say the least. Hundreds
of tons of the ore is lying on the surface
in boulders that run in weight from
five pounds to half a ton. The smallest
Of these + from 60 to 80 per cent pure
manganese, and the larger from Is TO
60 per cent. For something wei a
thousand feet a continuous ledge five
feet in width may be traced by the
groupings. The Messrs. Heidepriem
and Barber have twenty-one claims.
AS yet they have not developed the
property to any extent, but there are
unmistakable evidences that the extent
Of the deposit is unlimited, and that
the richness of the ore will increase as
the ledge is exposed. The owners Of
this valuable property r practical
mining men, and don't propose to
waste any time waiting for some one
to come along and prove the value Of
their mines. They are preparing to do
that themselves, and between now and
the nrst OF January, 1892, Will COM
mence mining and shipping the ore.
Just what point they will ship to is
yet undetermined, but one thing is GER
tain, manganese is a product that IS
marketable wherever steel Is manu-
featured. Some fine specimens Of the
metal are on exhibition attbe Chronicle
Office. The pure manganese is a dark
gray in color, of great specific gravity
and very hard. 1t is in great demand
and is worth $40 a ton ON the cars.
AS this property is only two or three
miles from the railroad, and the cost
Of mining the metal is nominal, it will
be readily seen that the owners margin
will be wide enough to be entirely
satisfactory.-Custer Chronicle.
