BIG IRONCLADS.
The Largest Are the Sister Ships Italia and
nf Ifal

The Largest Are the Sister Ships Italia and
Lepanto, of Italy.
The biggest armorclads in the world
are the Italian Italia and Lepanto, Sis
ter ships, each of IS, 900 tons displace-
ment. Next to them come the monster
English battle-ships of the Royal Sow
ereign cl ass, vessels of IA, $50 tons dis
placement. These in turn Will be sur
passed by the Magnificent and the Ma
jestic, ca ch of which will displace A.
200 tons. The largest armor-clad over
which the French ia g floats is the Ad-
miral Baudin, of IL 300 tons. and next
TO her is the Lazare Carnot, only so
tons smaller. Germany's largest armor-
clad is the Brandenburg. of 9, $40 tons.
Austria has never built any armor-clads
save those of moderate dimensions, her
largest, the Tegetthoff, being of 1890
tons. SPANS largest is the Pelayo, OF
., 900 tons
The three United States battle ships
OF the first class which have been
launched are the Massachusetts,, Ore
gon and Indiana, each of 10, 200 tons
displacement. The Iowa, now build
now a reaction against monster ships.
England is the only naval power that
persists in the policy of building them,
and apparently she is nearing halt.
The italians have come to the conclu-
sion that is indicated by the dimension
of their latest armor-clad authorized,
which will have $500 tons displace-
ment. The determination of France
and the United States to keep their
battle ships under IL, 900 tons was de-
liberately taken by each government,
after weighing weight against eff
cheney. In this policy Russia also
agrees. the largest of her armor-clads
in service being the Gcorgi Pobiedono-
setz, of 10,2S0 tons. while her naval
constructors regard IL, 900 tons as about
the proper limit.
OF the cruisers now afoat the Russian
Rurik is the largest, and proba bly,,

the most powerful. She is armor-b elted
and is of 10000 tons displacement, al
most 1000 tons larger than the Blake.
The English have authorized two cruis-
ers 'of Il, 900 tons each, being deter
mined to see the Rurik and go her 8. 100
tons better. As in the case of armor-
clads, England stands alone in accept
ing this challenge. Her Blake and
Blenheim are not only exceeded by the
Rurik, but by the Spanish Emperador
Carlos V, which has 9.s35 tons dis
placement. The largest French eruis-

DEERING.
Mayor John e. Sawyer Was Reflect
ed Yesterday.

Mr. Reuel Small Carries Democratic Ward
Two Observation-Disclosures and
Nonogenarians Rally to Save Ward
Seven.
The most important result of yester-
days city election in Deering was the
choice of Mr.. John E. Sawyer for mayor
a second time Although Mr.. Sawyer is
a Democrat, and Deeping is Republican
by from 200 to $50 votes, he has been
twice elected, and has become VIM. E.
Russell on modest scale. Personal
popularity and good record as mayor
drew to Mr.. Sawyer the Republican
votes that elected him yesterday. Other
wise the city went strongly Republican.
Ward 5, where Mr.. Sawyer lives, gave
him upwards of 40 Republican votes.
The second striking result was Mr..
Reuel Small's election as alderman in
Ward 2. which is the solid Democratic
ward of the city. Last year, Alderman
Harris Dem.) was elected by about 40
majority, while this year Mr.. Small tri-
umphs by IS votes. The principal rea-
son for this overturn is the denial of a
denomination to Alderman Harris. His
friends rallied and thrust the knife en-
tirely through Simeon Tracy, whom the
Cobb Lane contingent had put in Har-
ris's placs.
In Ward 7, Henry J. Fowler (Dem.)
made a desperate drive to capture the
alderman's seat, and to meet him the Re-
publicans made the liveliest kind of
battle. A feature of the contest was the
voting of three very aged men, Messrs.
Charles Maxfield, aged 80, Charles Brad
ley, aged 81, and Daniel Dole, aged 50.
All of them voted Republican.
The vote in detail:
For Mayor.

ward at once and take their tickets to
the mplimentary banquet which must
be limited to the comfortable seating ca
pacity of the Preble House, and as their
will be so OF more guests, the number of
tickets must be limited.

eve havesreadDr. Merrill's letter of resig-
nation with deep regret, and we sincerely
trust it will not be accepted byhis Par
ish." This was unanimously carried. 1t
was added that DR.. Merrills plans of
church work in connection with the
Second Parish were in line with the
best religious welfare of the city. His
use was not only local, but general, and
for him to leave US would be serious
loss to the city at large.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
O'Dowd's Neighbors.


A house crowded to the doors greeted
Mark Murphy and his company OF merry
comedians at Portland theatre last eve
ming, to witness for the first time In this
city the farce comedy, "O'Dowd's
Neigh bors. Portland theatre-goers will
remember the clever, funny little man
who played with such success in Our
Irish Visitors" and he received an
ovation. The reception was deserved and
the performance made great hit. There
should be ere wded house tonight. -
Elijah.
An audience that not only filled every
seat, but also extra chairs, greeted the
Haydn Association at Kotzschmar hall
last evening, and listened to their rem
dering of Memberships Elijah" under
the leadership of Mr.. Kotzschmar. The
greater part of the work fell upon Mr..
Arthur Beresford of Boston, who came
here to take the part of Elijah. The
other soIoists were Mrs. Fellows, Mrs.
Morrison and Mr.. Barnard. In the
quartette, Miss Allen, Mr.. Pierce and
Mr.. Baker also sang. For Mr.. Beresford
we have only words of praise, and the
other soloists as we'll as the chorus are
deserving of the especial mention which
lack of space prevents.
Night at the Circus.
The announcement of che coming of
Jolly Nellie McHenry and her company
to the Portland Theatre next Friday and
Saturday in her clever circo-comedy.
"a Night at the Circus" will be very
welcome to our lovers of good clean
farce comedy work. The piece made a
great impression last season and is sure
to be a magnet of great power this year
for it is undoubtedly one of the best
things of the kind ever produced. Nellie
McHenry herself is an old time favorite
with US, and is one of the best soubrettes
on the stage. She brings an exceptionally
strong company with her. 1t has been
considerably changed from last season
with the idea of introducing an entire
new set of specialties, and is even better
than before. j. H. Bradbury, whose
clever impersonation of "Signor Be-
nanza," proprietor of the Imperial Circus
made decided impression last year. is
still with Miss McHenry. The DeHitt
Sisters are an added novelty. They are
very pretty girls and introduce novel
musical act. Seats are on sale at the box
Office.
Mary Howe.
Mary Howe, the beautiful woman and
charming singer that the rocky State OF
Vermont has given to the musical world,
is a bright talker and has much of the
shrewdness that belongs to the New En-
gland people. In explaining why she
and her husband would probably go to
Europe and accept engagements next
season instead of heading an English OPP
era company in this country, she said
that before she attempted opera in the
United States she wanted the prestige OF
a European success, because that was
considered of great advantage by the
American public. She added that though
the American people were perfectly COM
petent to Judge good musical work for
themselves and on its merits, they are
largely influenced by the prestige of a
European success. She will be heard in
Portland, March 10.
Tickets to the Mary Howe concert and
