NO LANDING PLACE.

The last place in the harbor to procure
row boat went out OF existence this
morning, that being A. w. Baily's at
the east end OF Point Street
Bridge, which has been sort of
landmark. The entire outfit was sold
to Captain Gray OF the United Ststes SER
vice. From this time on there
will be but one landing in
the harbor for persons who should
happen TO come up the river in row
boat, and that Will be the one which
Is the property Of the Continental
Steamboat Company at the head
OF their dock. In the past
the shipping agents ana the crews com
ing and going TO the vessels down the
bay, the harbor master ana the custom
house officers have had the use of Mr..
Baily's float.
This boathouse has been in charge of
Curtis Small for many years and so
far this season the trade has been
so dull that he has not made a
sufficient amount 90 pay his expenses.
His many friends In The vicinity very
kindly rendered him goodly sum of
money this morning TO enable him TO
square his accounts and 10 return 20 his
home on the Cape. Mr.. small has
been connected with this boathousc for
the past IS years.

boilers, Ia 1850 ton. Her maximum coal
capacity is Zoo tons, enabling her TO
cruise at moderate speed two thirds OF
the distance around the world. The
application OF the power TO large
ships through triple screws Vs. was wa
and the result was watched for with in
terest throughout the civilized world.
Triple screws have gotten beyond the ex-
perimental stage now, however, and their
complete success on the Columbia ana
Minneapolis will probably result In their
being attached TO all large ships that may
be built In the future for the Government.
The nearest approach to the Mime
apolis in our navy Is the Baltimore type
OF ships, although the former is dis
tinct advance and almost twice as big.
In the British navy vessels OF tho Edgar
class are the nearest approach to the
Minneapolis, although far In the rear.
This defect, IL such IL may be called,
promises TO be remedied in the near fu-
ture, however, when the English Govern
rnent, according to big naval authority,
will build two cruisers OF 10000 tons dis
placement, 10000 tons power and capable
of a speed under forced draught OF 20
knots an hour.
Not "A Fighting Ship.
Since the Minneapolis Is not a fighting
ship her armament Is comparatively light.
She is designed to- il necessary, over
take and destroy any commercial ship
afioat, and little attention has been paid
to the question of armor, which Is Of
paramount Importance on floating forts
OF the Indiana class.
The Minneapolis can take care Of her.

vided with one S-inch 40 calibre breech

leaders and eight 4-inch rapid fire guns.
In addition she has a secondary battery of
eight 6-pounders and four 1-pounder rapid
fire guns and four Gatiings.

Did you ever s op to think that every
mishap or calamity which happens, either
TO an individual or a community, gives
the great mass OF people an opportunity
to profit thereby? It seems like paradox,
doesn't it, to make such an assertion? AS
an Illustration take the "blaze" of last
Saturday, as they call fire in Chicago,
where the loss does not exceed $10O, 600.
A number of tenants of the Phenix
building were inconvenienced, and one firm
adjacent to the building had to close up
and lose its regular Saturday night trade,
which was no inconsiderable sum. 1
refer, of course, to that reliable clothing
and gents furnishing establishment, John
McManus a. Co., III Westminster street.
AS soon as the insurance adjusters finish
the approximating OF the loss incurred
the general public will be treated to a
genuine midsummer smoke and water
sale, when the entire stock of clothing
and seasonable furnishing will be sold at a
sacrifice and counter clearing figure.
1t will be an opportunity for gentle
men to take advantage of and reple Iish
their Mardrobes. Why shouldn ,t~smen,
like women, take advantage of bargains
A shrewd woman will scent out q bargain
counter at forced sale of goods as quick
as mouse will scent piece of cheese.
The fact that the firm of John McManus
q Co., III Westminster street, has estab-
lished long since reputation for reliabil-
ity, when the announcement is made pub
lie what 1t intends to do in regard to their
stock, the public will know 1t Is bargain
opportunity.
Said announcement will be made public
in day or so. Watch for it.
