A number of our wide awake
business men on main street are
complaining of droves of possums,
and other nocturnal predatory
varmints that invest the streets on
dark nights of gas schudule. The
animals prefer the gloom of our
streets to the shade of the forest.
Several possums have been found
asleep, curled round lamp post,
imagining, no doubt, in their pos

THEGREATN NEW YORK
THE PRIDE OF THE NEW AMER
ICAN NAVY.
Something About "a War-Sbip That VIII
Defend the Honor OF the American
Peopie----A Triumph of Mechanical
Skill.

The big armored cruiser, New York,
which was launched recently at the
Camp ship-yard in Philadelphia, is the
most powerful arInored cruising war
ship yet built for the navy of the United
States. The New York will have n
cruising radius Of $4,000 miles. The
ability of the New York to maintain
herself when at long distance away
from home has been secured chiefly by
her great size. The principal di-
mansions and characteristics of the
new vessel are: Length, $50 feet IL
inches; breadth, nodded, GA feet;
draught, mean, % feet 3]9 inches; dis
placement, $3.50 tons; maximum 20
knots; sustained sea speed, 1875 knots;
endurance on total coal capacity
(cstimated), 10000 miles. The New
Yorks complement is set down at 457
officers and men. 1t is calculated that
the machinery of the new vessel will
develope lG, 900 indicated horse power.
The designed battery consists OF six
eight-inch and twelve four-inch breech-
loading rifles, eight siX-pounder and
lOuI HOuubtl pltA-lllt uhSs hilb
four Gatlings. The armour belt
measures 3 rs inches in thickness; that
of the turret mcasurs 10 inches in
thickness. The protective deck plates
are inches thick.
The new vessel has been designed
and constructed with the view of en-
gaging with the most powerful vessels
of her type abroad. In the list of
Great Britain's ships appear such arm
ored cruisers as the Aurora, with 5000
tons displacement, ard cruising radius
at 10 knots, 5000 knots; Galatea, same
as the Aurora; Imperieuse, s,400 tons
displacement. and cruising radius 1000
knots; Narcis, Us, 5000 tons, cruising
radius, 200 knots; Nelson, 1850 tons
displacement, cruising radius, 800
knots; Northampton, 1850 tons dis
placement, cruising radius, $3.50 knots;
Shannon, $500 tons displacement
cruising radius, :, ECO knots; Undaunted
5000 tons dis placement, cruising radius,
5000 knots; Warsprite, $500 tons Dis
placement, cruising radius, 1900 knots
The majority of the above vessels
carry heavier armor than the New
York, and in many instances guns of
heavier caliber. 1t is question:

THE statistics Of crime in England.
Wales and the United States reveal a
difference damaging to US and sug-
gests that the government-the state
should give better attention to this
matter The penitentiary and reform
atory prisoners of the United States
have in the last decade increased in a
slightly larger ratio than the increase
in the general population, while the
county jail prisoners have increased a
ratio more than double. During nearly
a similar period of years ending with
