I There is one cigar drummer that will
likely leave Augusta off his route for the
next few weeks. With this fellow no other
cigar in the market save the brands made
bv his house are tit to smoke. Any new
branl put upon the market that he doesn't
handle, is according to his way of thinking
and expressing an imposition on the public.
Now there is professional gentleman hav-
ing an Office on Water street that is noted
for his very quiet but efteetual way OF
perpetrating practical Joke, and
this was the method he adopted for
calling down the aforesaid drummer
Seeing the cigar man enter an up town
drug store, the uTbanc professional gentle
man, som. times called Doc fastened
around among several of his friends and in
hess ,han ten minutes these friends began
to drop into that drug store one by one.

tiers Johnson, Fessenden and Perry. and
the very weak war vessel Michigan. The
situation would indeed be very serious
were 1t not for the happy thought of Mr..
J.; N. Ashley. Ir., the vice president of the
Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Michigan
railway. who conceived the idea of build
ing gigantic ferry boats tor his road, which
boats can be converted into warships at
twenty-tour hours notice. Two of them
have already been launched. They are of
great strength and carry twentv-four
freight cars each from Kewaunee, Wis. to
frankfort, Mich, across Lake Michigan. a
distance OF sixty miles without breaking
bulk. This route is operated by several
companies, including the Green Bay,
Winona St. Paul. the Grand Trunk, the
delaware, Lackawanna & Western. and
the owners OF the boats the Toledo & Ann
Arbor company. These comSanies are in
very close relation with each Aher and for
trafflc purposes 1t Is practically one line.
There are number of steamers in the
British merchant service on the Atlantic
and other seas that can be taken by that
government for warlike purposes. The
Inman liners, the City Of Paris and the
Guy of New York, came under the ar
rangement which was made when they
were building. the United States govern
ment, so far as IS known, has not yet con-
tracted with the Toledo 4; Ann Arbor Com
>
mote contingency of hostilities, but the
navy department sent naval officers to
inspect them with view TO their being
utilized in case of war. They were built
at the yards of the Craig Ship Building
Company, Of Toledo, O.
John Craig, the founder and present
head of the Craig Shipbuilding Company,
was born in New York city in 1888. At
the breaking out of the late rebellion he
was engaged TO fit ont a numher Of
schooners and steamers from merchant
men to gunboats. After carrying on BUSH
ness near Detroit he removed to Toledo
and equipped his yards with an improved
and complete plant for the construction of
iron and steel vessels.
The firm has done much work for the
government of the United States. Lieut..
Godfrey l.. Garden reports that any one of
the boats can be converted in all respects
into a. haroor defense ram, and with
a rapid-hre battery we'll protected
by steel shields can justly be expected
to silence any craft the British are able
to send through the Weliand or ST. Law
renee river canals. The new vessels have
displacement OF 2. $50 tons; they are 267
feet III length, with beam of 81 feet
They have three screws, one on each quar-
ter and the third in the bow. The engines
are what are known as the horizontal
compound type, which will develop a
speed OF fourteen knots an hour.
The adaptabiiity of the new vessels for
ramming purposes will be best understood
when ii Is known that the hull construc-
ton IS OF oak up to two feet above the
water line. AT the water line there has
been provided belt of iron extending all
around the vessel and having uniform
width OF six feet throughout.
Extending aft from the bow for dis
tance OF fifteen feet. is q solid and massive
