BUILT by THE GOVERNMENT.
The Battle Ship Maine and Her Trial
Which is Awaited with Interest,

Considerable interest attaches to the
forthcoming trial Of the battle ship Maine
arrangements for which are now being per-
fected at the Navy Department. The
Maine is battle ship Of the second class,
and may be generally described as an ar
mored cruiser. She is a heavy vessel and
is not expected to make very quick time, as
time is now reckened In the navy. The
special interest in her performance is due
to the fact that she was bull: by the gov
ernment, with the exception Of her engines
and boilers, which were constructed under
contract by the Quintard iron works of
New York. The Forthcoming trial Is for the
purpose of seeing that her machinery de-
veiops the horsepower required by the con-
tract, ns mely: 5000. For every horsepower
In excess of that number, her contractors
Will receive premium Of 500, and for
every horsepower less than that number
they VIII suffer a penalty Of like amount
In the event that the engines do not de-
Velop horsepower of 1900, the machinery
Will be rejected outright. There are four
warships Eow under construction by the
government the Maine, the Texas, the
Raleigh and the Cincinnati, and of these
the Maine is the first TO be completed. Her
trial will be interesting for the purpose of
contrasting work done by the government
with similar work done at private Ship
yards
The Maine belongs to the heavier, more
powerful class Of naval vessels, and her
great guns are expected to do great damage
In case or Use, while her unusually heavy
armor will be expected to keep her vital
parts s: fe from an enemy's fire. She will
leave the New York navy yard in a few
days on preliminary trial conducted en-
tIEeiy by the contractors, who were given
special permission by the Navy Department
10 that effect She will not be gone more
thah two or three days. and on her return
she Will be promptly prepared for the for
MAJ orncial trial by government officers to
determine the question Of the acceptance or
rejection of her machinery. On this latter
occasion she will be officered and manned

naent on Criticism Of His Report
NEW YORK, September 21-Superinten-
dent of Police Byrnes, when asked today IL
he cared to say anything about the criti-
cism of him by DIR. Parkhurst in the Eight
zenith Street Methodist Church last night
made this reply, which he insisted should
be given word for word or not at all:
Yes; I have seen the statement by the
Rev.Dr. Parkhurst, and his criticisms on my
report to the police commissioners. So far
as those criticisms go he had a perfect right
to criticise me, as any other citizen has.
Further than that have nothing TO say"
DR.. Parkhurst in his address found fault
with superintendent Byrnes for philosophis-
ing on the subject of the social evil, or on
any other question, instead of doing his
duty In enforcing the law against dsorderiy
conduct. adding: Mr.. Byrnes and his fol-
lowers are here for execution, not for legis-
lating."

Trinity College Lecture Series.

1t affords US great pleasure to state that
the lecture committee of Trinity college
have been successful in securing for our
city the Franz Wilczek Concert company,
the strongest musical organization travel
ing the United States this season.
In presenting the above organization
the committee deem it only necessary TO
call attention to their splendid record
and to refer to the fact that they are
acknowledged artists, without a living
rival in this country or abroad. The
company consists of the following solo
artists:
Franz Wilczek, the great Austrian
violin ~yirtuoso, who, prior to his coming
to America, played in concerts through
out Germany and Austria, eliciting high
praise from rigorous critics. He made
his first appearance in America as soloist
with the Theodore Huma orchestra at the
Lenox lyceum.
Mary Renck Wilczek, an eminent vic.
linist, was born in Pittsburg, Pa where
she received her first instruction from
Carl Meader. At the age Of IS she went
to Cologne, Germany, where she studied
under Schwartz Then she went to Ber-
lin to complete her studies at the Royal
Academy of Music. After three years OF
earnest study she returned to Plttsburg,
where she was lionized by the four hun
dred Of that enterprising city.
Christine Schultze Wichman, the dra
matte soprano ~soloist, a native OF Ger
many, at an early age exhibited signs of
rare musical talent and a wonderful voice.
The famous masters, Engel and Otto, two
of Berlin's most noted professors, should
feel we'll satisfied with the success of their
very talented pupil. After her first debut
at the Singakademic in Berlin, the must
| cal life of Nine. Schultz Wichman has
been very successful, both in opera and
concert, being received everywhere with
every manifestation of a warm an! hearty
welcome and recognized as ar artistic
singer, with a fine, rich and withal a re
maTkably sympathetic voice, under per-
feet cultivation and thorough control.
Mangioni de Pasquali, an Italian by
birth, studied under the great master,
Natal Berlini, and graduated at the Royal
Conservatory at Palermo. He was spe'
cially engaged for the inauguration of
the great Italian opera season in New
Orleans and sang the difficult role of
| Turidda in Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusti
cana" The press of the Crescent City
was a unit in expressing the opinion that
Signor de Pasquali gave an ideal rendt
ton of that trying character.
Joseph ~Friedberger, the renowned
pianist, studied in Vienna under Julius
Epstein, Of the Vienna Conservatory, and
| Moriz R%osenthal, one of the greatest liv-
ing pianists. He was with NiKita, the
American prima donna, when she ap
peared in Vierpa.
We congratulate the lecture CORN tee
Of Trinity college in beiog TIE mePps of
giving to our people an affection worthy
the support OF such IN organization end
| wish them every success. The compapJ
| is booked for October II.

Howgate has become one of the most

He still refuses to make a statement of

prisoner. He has not selected counsel
yet, although a number of attorneys
have written him asking to be allowed
to take the case without a fee. The
prisoner spent his first Sunday in pac-

with his thumbs in his vest armholes
