Revenue Cutters That May Easily lie
Transformed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The fact that
the British government has just
launched at Lowens bay, Canada,
modern steel revenue cutter, which
may easily be transformed into an ef-
fective war vessel, does not cause that
degree Of apprehension that might be
expected for the very good reason that
all of the facts in the case have long
been known 70 the officials Of the de-
partment of state and the navy depart
ment They have satisfied themselves
that there has been no breach of the
treaty stipulations, that there shall be
but one war vessel of the two nations
on the lakes
When the Constance, the first of the
new Canadian lake vessels was building
last year, an officer Of the United States
navy visited the ship yard aud closely
examined the new vessel He reported
that the vessel was exactly what she
was represented To be-a revenue cut

tion partial protective steel deck was

unprotected boiler by even a small rifle
shot Also regard was had TO the pos
sibilities of the future, and the vessel
was so built that she might carry can
non and thus become a serviceable gun
boat
But this is exactly what the navy de-
partment las done in the case of all the
revenue cutters built in recent years.
Capt Sheppard, the chief Of the rev.
enue marine service, says that II has
always been a government idea that
the revenue cutters should be capable
of easy transformation into light gun
boats and dispatch vessels, so as to
form an adjunct 10 the United States
navy. The propriety of this course has
been amply demonstrated IN the past,
for IL is n matter of history that the
revenue cutters have been the very first
OF the vessels OF the United States to
take part In active hostilities and the
cutter Harriet Lane fired the first Of
tensive shot at the beginning of the
last war. The United States has three

Northwest Abilene Has a Thrilling
and Remarkable Visitation.

There Is an old vacant house In
Northwest Abilene in one Of the addi-
tions that IL making good deal Of
talk just now. There are all torts Of
wild aud woolly tales told of the hap.
penings thereabouts aud the neighbors
wish llro or cyclone would sweep the
building out OF existence. A few
nights ago some farmers passing the
house saw lights Mt the window and
heard noises resembling shrieks as they
went by. Last night returning from
church they saw something that again
aroused their suspicious. When few
rods from the house a white form was
suddenly outlined against one Of the
upstairs Windows. 1t disappeared as
they came nearer aud one of the men
dared his companion 10 accompany him
on an investigation. The house was
known to be empty and the front doors
are off the hinges, The men went in
and searched every roon Of the house
but without finding a semblancs Of
human shape or indications Of habta-
tlon, The sounds that they had heard
could not bs distinguished and except
for the squares Of moonlight on the
floor there was nothing but dense dark
ness. They searched every room aud
closet and were satisfied that nothing
was there. But rs they drove
away there came grooming cry from
the upper story and looking back there
was the white form gazing at them
from the window. 1t seems that these
manifestations have been going on for
some weeks and there Is talk Of sur
rounding the house and making a raid
on 1t some night.

HANDSOME HEADQUARTERS.
The Abilene Dramatic Club Rooms
Are Beauties.


A REFLECTOR representative was
today invited by one of the club mem
bers to inspect the new rooms in the
Armory hall fitted up for the perma.
nent home of the Abilene Dramatic
club. Upon gaining admission to the
rooms we were surprised TO See how
much change can be wrought by paint
ing and tasteful decorating. We first
inspected the main hall which has been
painted and decorated throughout and
is well lighted with electricity, The
floor has been filed and thoroughly
waxed and is In fine condition. Here
we found an ingenious arrangement In
the shape of mimic stage devised by
the club for rehearsal purposes by
means Of which full stage with flats
and wings can be set in a moment aud
removed entirely IN an equally short
time when the fjor Is needed for
other purposes. Then We looked into
the north room which we found very
tastefully furnished ~ paIlor. This
room is intended for the exclusive
private use Of the club. Beyond this
Is "a spacious closet for wardrobe aud
stage material, Tie south room la,
also been tastefully decorated for ust
As n dressing room In connection with
the main hall. Tue whole arrangement
is tasteful In the extreme aud reflects
much credit upon the club. We feel
sure that every citiz'u OF Abilene will
be pleased to know that this popular
club is 80 desirab!y located. IL insurer
permanent organic ltion aud We shall
have a chance to See them frt quently
in their plays.
The club Is row rehearsing a new
comedy TO be given about Dec. l5.h.
We are informed tha, the hall will b.
rented during the winter for evening
entertainments either public or private.
It Is certainly a desirable addition t.
the public halls Of our city. AS W.
were leaving the club member said
Tell yonr readers to come up any tint
and look our rooms over. We shall he
glad to show them around. We are h
a public institution and our only aim
is to entertain tho people and We wish
to entertain all of them"

one TO replace the johnson which IL is
