The new cruiser must be able not
only to break the City Of Paris record
Of days 10 hours and five minutes, but
she must come with an hour of FIVE
days. A wonderful combination of per.
fections in modern machinery is relied
upon TO accomplish this. Compared
with the Philadelphia the crate surface
of the new cruiser is 1,2S5 square feet
against tho Philadelphia's 824, her heat
ing surface is 43,371.4 square feet,
against the Philadelphia BOAST. There
will be three triple expansion cylinders,
each having 7,000-horse power, each
with i2.inch stroke and each driving
a screw. Her greatest popularity will
be the use and arrangement of these
screws III defiance of foreign nations
abandonment of that experiment. The
foreign fact was that the middle screw
was found 10 exert minimum of force,
owing to its position in water that had
been first sent flying along by the other
screws, but in this new cruiser Colonel
Melyilles idea has been to place the
| two-side screws 10 feet above the middle
screw so that they will not come in con-
tract with the same section of water at
all.
The armament and other features are
such that this cruiser will be able to de-
stroy nearly everything ia the sea before
any vessel big enough to whip her could
| catch her At the rate of 10 knots an
| hour she can in 100 days steam around
| the earth without recoaling.

any effort consistent with our laws that

Plans Drawn for a Handsome Build

Architect Stauduhar has in Difference
to the wishes of the council drawn two
Sc parate plans for the scale building,

has decided to erect on Market square.
1t will be remembered the council APP
propriated $500 for the Improvement.
The ARGUS is informed the old structur re
which is to be abandoned as disgrace
and an eyesore, cost that much, and
Architect Stsuduhar's plans call for one
of TWO designs, the first S. 900 building
of frame. and the other So COO building
with stone arches of substantial nature.
The latter is meeting with most popular
favor among our business men. and as it
will be more durable, il will be the cheaper
in the end. The building. too, is a
eauty.
The council will no doubt take action
in this matter at its next meeting as it
has been prolonged more than it should
have been.

A SAD AFFLIcTloN.
A Portland Girl struck Blind While Driv-
ing Abroad.

Miss Annie Frank Libby, daughter of
Mr.. j. r. Libby Of this city, has a most
pathetic history. Three years ago she
accompanied capt. Philbrooks family on
the schooner Fostina on voyage up the
Mediterranean. One day, while on shore,
she took ride and was suddenly struck
blind, probably the effect Of the intense.
semi-tropical sunlight. She had the best
medical advice. but it was long time
before she had hope of regaining her eye
sight. Finally she was able to see a little
and now can use her eyes to some extent.
She writes a neat hand and can see to
read, though not for long at time.
When Miss Libby lost the use Of her eyes
she began to play the harp, being able
to do very little besides. She studied her
favorite instrument assiduously and at
length began to obtain recognition from
the musical public. She was under the
tuition of Miss Shaw and became her
most promising pupil. She now has an
engagement with the Lillian DureH opera
company, as harpist, for the next five
weeks, beginning in Boston, April 7th.
She will appear at the grand concert to
be given by The Imperial Mandolin and
Guitar Club, at City Hall, next Tuesday
evening.
