TALKS TO THE WOMEN.
DR. PARKHURST ADDRESSES THE
VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
REGENERATION OF THE CITY OF
NEW YORK
Should Interest Every True Mother,
Sister and Wife Question of
Right and Wrong.

NEW YORK, Oct. DIR. Charles
III. Parkhurst made one of his
addresses to women
last night in the Adams Memorial
church. 1t was at a meeting OF
the city vigilance committee of
the sixteenth assembly districts.
The meeting was opened by Rev.
DR.. Forbes, who presented DR..
Parkhurst.
This question of women has
been before the public in relation
to this reform movement for some
time" said the doctor, land some
thing is now coming oft. The re-
generation of the city is matter
that should interest every mother,
sister and wife that lives in it,"
DR.. Parkhurst said that politics
had nothing to do with the
women's work for there was no pol
itics in it. 1t was a question OF
right against wrong. a question
of the ten commandments or no
commandments. '"If she is true
mother, or sister, or wife she
should use every resource to ele-
vate the general tone Of the COM
munity" he said. "1ndeed tosbring
about this publication we must be-
gin with the municipal COVER
ment." The doctor SAID he had re-
ceived letter from whole souled
lady who volunteered to start the
movement among the women and
he had a long conversation with
her about it. Referring to the
coming election for governor he
said, .'if you think Mr.. Hill issthe
kind of a man who will sign his
name to a bill giving the mayor
the power to remove the heads Of
departments, then vote for him. If
not, don't, that's all and unless Mr..
Hill has been recently reformed, /
hardly think he will do it. [ have
heard a rumor that it is the pur-
pose of Tammany to indorse Mr..
Golf for mayer. 1t is Hill idea |
believe, and it shows that Hill is
trying to ally himself with a body
that will lend responsibility to his
campaign. In regard to Mr.. Golf
who has been mentioned for mayor
and the proposed endorsement of
him by Tammany, | have only
this to say: know Mr.. Golf per-
sonally, and we'll know he is pre-
pared to sink his own personality
in this matter. j know what [ am
talking about. He is so devoted to
the welfare of his city that he will
never allow his personal feelings
to stand between him and his duty
to his fellow citizens"

A Terrific Hurricane.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. D.
The steamer Gallo brings news Of
a severe hurricane which, accord.
ing to the Kobe Chronicle of Sep
TENDER 18th, caused widespread
destruction. The village was swept
away, people killed and many YES
sells lost. The cyclone swept
northeast after wrecking No
gaisk. Marineopal is practically
blotted out of existence. Not three
houses in a hundred are left stand
ing. 1t is estimated that over 200
persons persisted in this town
alone. North of Marineopal the
storm made a sudden turn to the
eastward over Delagoa Point, and
left the edge inflicting slight dam
age on Berdionski. Houses were
wrecked and dozen persons killed
by falling timbers.
One Of the most disastrous fires
which the canton experienced
broke out on the morning Of Aug.
3lst among the flower boats and
soon enveloped the whole fleet. 1t
is said only one escaped, the re-
mainder being entirely destroyed.

CREATED A SENSATION.
Col. Barber's Insult to the Army of
Tennessee Flies Back.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 5.-There is
some probability that the letter of
Col. Merritt Barber, adjutant gen.
eral, department Of the Platte, to
local representatives of the army
OF Tennessee, refusing to have
anything to do with that society
and referring to it in a most
discourteous manner, will cause
court martial. 1t has created
sensation in military circles of
considerable proportions. Gen.
Howard was very angry when he
read Barber's letter and said he
would "attend to matters" when
he got back east. Barber, in his
letter, declared he had never heard
OF the association, and cared moth
ing for it.

TOO MANY GUNS.
Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn
Proposes To Tighten the Load of the
Hattie ships.

Chief Naval Constructor Hichbom has
submitted a proposition to the Secretary OF
the Navy looking to an important change
In the armament of several OF the new ves-
sells. He expresses the belief that the
weights at present to be carried by the
battleships Massachusetts,. Oregon and In.
diana are too great for the stability OF the
ships and he has recommended a change In
their batteries. Each of these vessels was
intended TO carry in its main battery four
lS-inch guns. eight S-inch guns. and four
6-inch guns. The combined weight OF this
battery on each battle ship would be nearly
40 tons. and II would be placed far above
the water line. The constructor holds that
the eficiency of the ship as a fighter would
not be lessened by removing some OF the
guns while the stability would be improved.
He has suggested that four OF the eight
inch guns be taken out At present II 10
proposed to place two guns Of this caliber
In each OF the four turrets. each turret oc-
cupying a corner of the superstructure Of
the deck. The superstructure also supports
two more turrets. containing six-inch guns.
II Is represented that very much the same
results can be obtained from one eight.inch
gun as from two eight-inch guns In a tur-
ret IL is further suggested that the stor-
age capacity Of the ship would not sustain
this mammoth battery very long. and that
In protracted fight the proposed decrease
In the eight-inch battery would have no se-
rfous enect. The removal OF the four eight
inch guns from each battle ship would
tighten IL sixty tons.
The ordnance department is opposed to
the alterations In the batteries suggested
by the chief naval constructor and suggests
some other solution of the difficulty. The
matter will be settled by Secretary Her.
bert when he finds time to consider It.
