Tile Great Battle Ship sot Anoat at PhIla-
delphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 2S,-The great
battle ship Indiana was successfully
launched to-day at the ship yard OF the
William Cramp and Sons company, in
the presence OF thousands OF people,
among them the President OF the United
States, the secretary OF the navy and the
other members OF the cabinet and quite
q large delegation OF congressman and
others who arrived from Washington
this morning on a special train.
From early morning crowds began to
gather around the works and rs the day
advanced the multitude increased,
The arrival OF the Presidential party
was the signal for loud and continued
cheering. The party came from WASH
ington on special train over the B, 4
o, r. H. Among the visitors were Sec
rotary OF the Navy Tracy, Postmaster
General WanamRker, Attorney General
Miller and his daughter, Miss Jessie,
the fair christener; Senator'S Voorhees,
and Turpie, OF Indiana, lin honor OF
which state the vessel is namely aud
others. The President and the other
gentlemen OF the party acknowledged
the complimentary cheering by smiling
and raising their hats,
A line was formed and the christen-
Ing party proceeded to where the battle
ship lay and took positions on n raised
platform at the bow. Tho noise OF 500
workmen making the final preparations
reyerberated between the Indiana's sis.
ter ship Massachusetts on the south
and Cruiser No. 10, the Minneapolis, to
the north, for a quarter OF an hour and
then the order was given to "saw the
ways" Just as the 1900 tons OF steel
started down the incline Miss Miller
broke the customary bottle OF cham
payne, it being encased in a beautifully
hand-painted and embroidered satin
cover, across the boat and firmly said,
II christen thee Indiana" Whistles
shriekod, bells rang and people cheered
and waved handkerchief and flags.
This demonstration continued until the
ship reached midstream, where anchors
were dropped. Later the anchors were
raised and the vessel was towed to the
ship yard. The Indiana is the eighth
war ship that the Cramps have
launched, and is the largest ever sent
from their ways.

The building which collapsed was
owned by John York, large dealer in
dy goods, and was destroyed by fire a
law weeks ago 1t was five stories high
nearly 100 deep and had front OF white
stone.
A large white dust cloud, a succession
Of shrieks from the building occupied
bythe Smith and Kunze families and
al was over
Word was at once sent to Canal aven-
lie police station and the patrol wagon
from there and other wagons were dis
patched. Before they could arrive, the
ruins Of the demolished building had
caught fire from tho stoves and began
to blaze iurioualy. The fremen kept
pouring a steady stream OF water upon
the ruins and the police began hastily
to dig into the debris. The Kunze
family occupied the upper portion OF
the building and tho first body found
was that OF Mrs. Kunze, whose head
had been crushed by falling beam.
Close beside her lay the body of her
husband, his white night clothes dyed
red with the life blood that had flowed
from dozen fearful cuts in his head
and body. Young Kunze was found
shortly aiterward and then the flames
broke out once more and the police
were compelled to give way for time
Attracted by the sound Of means pro-
Ceoding from the rear portion OF the
firemen went saYagely to work and in
about ten minutes the mangled form OF
young woman was dragged from under
a mass OF brick and mortar. Some Of
the neighbors declared it to be that OF
Pauline, the domestic employed by the
Smith family.

WHAT SCIENCE HAS DONE FOR
DEAFNESS.
Transmitting Sound to the Ear by the Use
of simple Device.

Transmitting Sound to the Ear by the Use
of II simple Device.
There is little doubt but what the
treatment OF deafness has been reyolu-
tionized by the invention OF the Sound
Discs. The development and growth OF
the use OF this device is phenomenal,
aud is well worthy the attention 1t has
received in medical circles, where it has
been widely discussed and most heartily
approved. A prominent physician has
gone SO far as to estimate that fully
three-quarters OF all the deafness which
has been relieved in the United States
during the past two years has been by
the aid OF this instrument; and he CON
siders 1t an easy triumph over this most
distressing aflliction.
While the idea OF such an instrument
is not strictly new, yet the restoration
Of such large number OF desperate
and abandoned cases by its use has
proven it to be OF vastly more import
ance than was at first supposed. A re-
cent interview with the inventor Of the
instrument, Mr.. Ii, W, Wales, who
lives in Bridgeport, Conn, disCloses
how the idea OF such an ingenious in-
strument first occurred to him. 1t was
learned thatit was first suggested from
the fact that most people who suffer
from defective hearing hear better in n
noise or on q moving train, which is
caused by the increased vibration OF the
ear. From this Mr.. Wales said he was
confident that he could invent device
which could be worn with comfort by
the patient, and which would focus the
smaller waves of sound on the drum
head. thus increasing its vibration, and
enabling tho patient to hear ordinary
conversation and public speaking.
After many experiments the final out
come OF this happy thought has been
the present device, which must be an
ideal one, as it is worn in the ear out Of
sight for months at time

AWFUL CALAMITY.
A Hungarian Village swept Away-Nian
People Perish In the Flood.

A Hungarian Village Swept Away-Niany
People Perish in tho Flood.
VIENNA, Feb. ga terrible calamity
has oyertaken the village OF Gergely,
near the town OF PaKs, in Hungary,
situated on the river Danube, about 60
miles south Of Buda. Owing to sud-
den rise OF the Danube the five hundred
inhabitants found the mud houses in
which they lived surrounded by water.
The people took refuge in the church
and school, which were constructed OF
stronger materials, hoping that these
buildings would be able to hold out
against the food. Mothers and child
rem chung to the altar, beseeching the
intercession OF the saints, They saw
their homes disappearing on the raging
stream and the swelling body waters
began to beat against tho church and
school building with such strength that
ut last they decided that to remain
would mean the destruction OF all OF
them, while ii they fled some at least
might escape. Opening the doors they
started out into the flood, which
surged nearly to the waists OF the
grown up people.
Fathers and mothers carried their
children and the sick and feeble were
helped along by those who were strong
or. They fed as fast rs they could in
the direction Of Paks. One mother with
five children sank in the waters and
persisted. Many others, tho number OF
whom is rs yet unknown, were drowned
in the flood and tho survivors reached
Paks in most deplorable condition
Tho people OF Paks gave the fugitives
all the help possible, although deeply
concerned for their own safety as the
Danube is twenty feet above normal.
There is no doubt that the number Of
the dead is very large.

reporting the greatest number OF

schools of this nation. Accompany
ing the notice Mr.. Pope says:
"The mere elimination of errors
from text books ia but SIN all
matter compared with the forma'
ton of a habit of critically examin.
ing every statement, whether it be
oral or printed. There has been a
vast amount of harm done in the
world BY persons unthinkingly
accepting as true anything that may
have the approval of those who are
supposed to be almost infallible.
The habit of carefully weighing
every statement to see whether it b.
true or false is one of great va ue,
and persons having this habit think
more clearly and reason more cor
rectly than those who usually lei
others do their thinking for them
To-day in the United S,a.es, and
throughout the civiljz d world
there are teachers and leaders who
endeavor to make the people believe
the sophistries concerning the great
questions relating to humanity. In
books and newspapers are published
the mo-. ,pcci g ard absurd
theories about politics, currency,
capital, labor, free trade, tariff, ard
all the greater questions of life,
errors thousand times more mis-
chievous than any that appear in
the pages Of the text books or
school books Of the nation.
Errors in school books may be
suggestive of what errors abound
not alone in the school room but in
the great school of life. The OBJ

accomplished if it teaches boys and

Let All Architects Compete.
WACO, Texas, June |

WACO, Texas, June IL
Editor Evening News
In its yesterdays issue THE News
says:
THE News in its article about a
new court house did not intend to
suggest the employment of foreign
architects. That would be foolish
as we'll as unpatriotic, for it is we'll
known that Waco claims among her
citizens some of the finest architec' s
in the state, and as good as can be
found in the nation
This seems to imply tina. when
building new court house or any
other public building, the city and
county must employ none but Waco
architects. Allow me to object to
such a theory and practice, of
which the principle would be per.
fectly wrong, unjust and detrimen
tai to the public interests of the
community. Public monuments are
built not in the interest of home
architects, but in the interest of
the people. Lately the board of
trustees of the public schools with.
out thinking of petting and favor
ing any home talent, has appointed
as school superintendent the man
they believed to be the best fitted
for the Office, and they have done
right in so acting, doing their duty
in that appointment.
/ do not intend to deny that
Waco architects may be "as good
as can be found in the nation" al
though it seems TO me very bold for
the News to think 80 and to assert
it. But this is not the question at
all; even if supposing that they
really are the very best of all. The
true and important question, when
building, is, not who is or is not
the best architect, but only which
is the best project aud plan offered.
The only wise and correct way to
proceed, when ready to build apub
lie monument, is to open a
conference free to all and to
adopt the best one that is submitted.
Such is the was the big cities Of
this country and of Europe always
proceed. Lately Boston, which is
not inferior to Waco in learning
and intellectual refinement, and
which possesses architects of as good
ability as those of Waco. adopted
