Tho baritone. Mr.. Lithgoe, has a
strong but mediocre voice. lacking fox
Utility and timbre. His best work was
in the rendition of palm Branches. :"
Miss Bullock. a cello soloist, is inclined
to be too mechanical in the treatment
OF that magnificent though somewhat
INV ieldly instrument. Tho feature of
the evening was the violin playing of
Miss Botsford. Her touch is strong,
almost masculine, her phrasing distinct
and her general work of high order.
Her Faust Fantastic" In the first
part. was execute in fine style, as were

in the second part The accompanist,
Mr. Gilder, is hardly up to the standa I'd

THE BROOKLYN.

This startling novelty in cruiser con-
structlon Is new method of securing
draft, and has excited much discussion.
In Warships, where natural draft is
lacking some method Of forced draft is
necessity. One way is by air forced into
the Theoretically sealed frcroom, mcnacinv
the health Of the stokers, and in the other
it is delivered under pressure into the
CRATE, causing heat about the bars that
quickly makes them useless. The high
smokestacks are better than either, so far
as draft is concerned, but they will fur
nish good objects for the enemy to aim at.
They are therefore made to bear a deal of
pounding and guyed up separately, so that
If one is destroyed the other will still be
effective.
The Brooklyn is 412 feet long, with
beam of SO feet. Her draft is 22 feet q
inches, and she has II displacement of 7.4O0
tons Her battery will include one S-inch
and two G-inch breechloating steel rifles,
eight finch rapid firing guns, Dsxenty
1-pound and 6pound rapid firing guns dis
tributed about her decks, four machine
guns and six torpedo tubes. The and
S-inch rifles will be protected by heavy
shields attached to their carriages. Her
hill is protected by steel plates four inches
thick amidships, tapering to two inches ut
the stem and stern. The deck armor is
from pa to four inches thick, according to
its arrangement, and the steel plates OH
the coming tower and ventiating tubes
are five inches in thickness. The engines
are of the triple expansion type, with 2I,-
coo horsepower. Under very favorable
circumstances She will be able to steam
twenty-five knots an hour, and even under
great disadvantages her speed will enable
her to catch almost anything that floats.

The Partisan street boy generally in

their day and been duly prohibited by the

sprinkling powdered glass on the passcrs-

had been so freely INDUCED in that many

the Whole Country.
FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

PHILADELPHIA, May 2-Almost every
day brings fresh indications of the aggres-
sIve policy which the Pennsylvania Rail
road has entered upon in the anthracite coal
trade. Following the chartering of the
Tomkschen, Millsville and Eastern Rail-
road, an eight-mile road which the "Pennsy"
will build in the Lehlgh region to reach the
Stout collie1y, whose output it has bought,
comes an authoritative announcement that
the company has also purchased the output
of the William Penn colliery, near Shenan-
doah, one OF the largest in operation in the
Schuylkill region. Its annual output of
about 800, 900 tons now passes over the Read
ing Railroad, but by building a short branch
kill valley, the Pennsylvania can reach the
coliiery. The proprietors are E. & g.
Brooks, the iron men of Birdsboro. The
new arrangement goes into effect to-day.
BY these new acquisitions the Pennsyl
vania has increased its annual anthracite
tonnage to easily 5,000,00 tons, an amount
which on total production of 40, 600, 900
tons last years figures, is equal to 1211 per
