was a happy circumstance that
brought the Admiral Naehimoff
to anchor on our nations birth
day. She arrived about dawn,
and her courteous commander,
fearing to disturb the city slum-
bers, reserved the thunder of his
guns till eight o'clock, when the
stars and stripes were run up to
the main peak and the salute of
twenty one guns was fired.
The Nachimotf ranks with the
Blake and the New York, though
more heavily armored than either.
She mounts eight Sinchs Ii ton,
breech-loading rifles; ten 6inch,
6 ton. breech-loading rifles, four
3-pound rapid FIRE guns, six
machine guns, and four light
weight guns. She also has four
torpedo tubes. She mounts two
Big turrets. one forward and one
aft, each shielding two of the s
inch guns, and she has eight
armored barbettes. In addition
to this, her sides are protected
by a two-inch composite armor
belt. All the guns and turrets are
moved by electric power, the
Nachimoff being the first warship
to be thus equipped.
The cruiser was launched In
1885. She is $50 feet long, 81
feet beam. and of 1882 tons dis
placement. Her engines are of
s 900 Indicated horse power. Her
deck is protected by three inch
steel plating. She is propelled
by twin screws and has record
ed speed of 16I knots. She lies
low in the water and is painted
black. She has two square
rugged masts and single white
smokestack.
In Russia. the Nachimof is
called an armored cruiser, but
in our navy she would rank as
second-class battleship. The
New York is more like her than
any ship in our navy, but is much
faster, making about five knots
more per hour. The New York
is also fifty feet longer than the
Russian ship and has two milf
tary masts. The Nachimof has.
more heavy guns. The crew of
the Nachimof numbers 800 men,

as agents of the United States government,
and stated that their business was to or

ized lodge in Lincoln county. The lodge
turns out to be swindle. They told the
old soldiers that the secretary of the Treas

stringent demands of the present times;
that If they would assign their pension

the gold be forwarded TO Washington.

to it. Bicycling in moderation is to be
warmly encouraged. 1t is, moreover, a
great menta, relaxation for those who are
Overworked, for there Is always present
the preoccuDation of maintaining ones bal.
