COURT MARTIAL
Is Mentioned in Connection with Injury Done
TO Columbia.

WASHINGTON, May. 3l.-The officials at
the navy department were treated to a SEN
sation about the new crack cruiser Column
bia, today, when the Selfriige inspection
board finally handed in voluminous re-
port of the condition and performance of
that vessel on a recent official trial trip.
The action of Acting Secretary McAdoo
today in ordering the vessel into the dry
dock at League leland shows that the au-
thorities are going to lose no time in
investigating the extent to which the
vessels hull is damaged. 1t is under
stood that upon the result of the examina-
ton ordered by Mr.. McAdoo,i a naval
court martial will be ordered to fix the re-
sponsibility for running the magnificent
racer around and smashing great dent in
her side below the water line, destroying
her fine lines and probably straining many
ribs. The inspectors found one compart-
ment greatly distorted and one expert de-
clared it a wonder that the plates held to-
gether and the water did not flood the
affected part of the ship.

WOOD CARVING AND iNLAYING.
Designs Should Not Be Too Elaborate.
Modern Work With the Thin Fret Saw.

Designs Should Not Be Too Elaborate.
Modern Work With the Thin Fret Saw.
Why there are SO many failures in the
application of designs to wood carving is
that careful models are not made before
hand, and certainly for panels which are
to be used for houses, or on good furni-
ture, it is quite worth while to take this
previous trouble. And there is always a
great danger of overcrowding the pattern.
To decorate it is not necessary to cover
the design. Indeed n true artist would
feel that the groundwork is often more
valuable in a design than anything which
can be put upon it. 1nlaid woodwork Is
eminently an Italian art and should as
closely as possible resemble painting and
will last as long if kept away from damp.
In old days the inlaid pattern was much
thicker than it is now and was sunk into
a solid ground, which made it more diff
cult to keep the lines of the drawing accu-
rate. Now both the pattern and ground
should be a thin veneer of about one
sixteenth of an inch thick, glued down
upon solid wood, and this will stand for
centuries. The veneer should be cut with
thin fret saw, and after it is well glued
ON it should be polished and vanished.
Much of the marqueterie in France is
spoiled by being overdone, flowers, foliage
and figures all running one into the other,
and our work frequently errs in the same
way.

Going Up Stairs.

The manner in which people 60 up stairs
is productive of many ailments, and n care
full observer who understands the anatomy
of the body does not wonder that it is SO,
but remarks how much of the dead lift"
there is about it. The feet and legs arc
made to act as levers not only to force the
weight of the body up, but also the addi-
tional weight which is the result of inertia.
Instead of raising the chest and Animal
ing tho body to lift its own weight, we
bend the body nearly double, cramping the
organs, hindering free circulation and con-
sequently easy breathing. Painting for
breath, we reach the top, but in the effort
what spectacle we present! Going up
stairs is easy and healthful when properly
done. We shall not say that it will not
quicken the pulse, for in this case, as in
any other exercise, tho rapidity and force
of muscular action determine the rate
with which the blood is forced to and from
the heart

MYSTERIOUS MURDER
Committed in New York for Sis il
Money.

New York, May 31.-The police officials
are busy today try ing to solve the mystery
surrounding the death of Mrs. Minnie
Weldt, found strangled last night in her
room at 1924 East 6lst street. A handker-
chief was found tied tightly around her
neck.
He'la Kahlost, the dead womans COM
panion, who roomed with her, was taken
into custody last night by the police on sus-
picion of being implicated in Mrs. Weldt's
death. She was arraigned this morning
She stated the dead woman was % years
old and they both made living by wash
ing. Yesterday morning the Kahlost
woman went out to work about Z, and did
not get back to the room until s in the
evening. S e found her room-m ,te lying
dead on the floor. The apartment looked
as if some one had ransacked it.
The money Mrs. Weldt saved, about SIS,
was gone. This, she said, was all she
knew of the affair. Mrs. Anna Boes, an
elderly German woman, who occupies rooms
opposite those of the dead woman, says
that about 10 yesterday morning a stout,
middle-aged man called at the dead woman's
apartments. The name of Lang was
on the door and it was name
the visitor asked for. The woman
who was murdered, admitted the caller.

he went away he closed the door softly
after him. Mrs. Boes says he was very
pale and nervous. He shielded his face as
lie passed through the narrow hall, and
when he reached the foot of the stairs,
fairly ran down. so great was his haste.
Robbery was the only motive apparent for
the crime

How Accident Happened to The Cruiser.

PHILADELPHIA, May 3l.--Capt. Sumner
and Lieutenant Commander Allibone, exec
utive officer of the Columbia, were nom
communicative this afternoon on the sub
ject of the mishap to the cruiser Columbia
1t was learned that the accident occurred
about noon, Thursday, May II, in
the neighborhood of Reedy island, upper
Delaware bay. The Columbia was on final
acceptance trial and was in charge of Lewis
Chambers, the veteran Delaware river and
bay pilot. While running about Is knots
persons on the lower deck felt two success
sive shockssas though the vessel had run
over some obstruction. But little was
thought of the matter at the time. An
official investigation showed that amidships
and on the starboard side near the keel the
outer plate of the ship had a large dent
in it where some piece of hidden wreckage
struck it. The vessel has not leaked drop
at the injured spot. Among the officers at
League islane it is said, when the Columbia
started down river, Pilot Chambers in.

water enough in the river to carry the
cruiser over the bar below Reedy island.
He is said to have been told to 20 ahead,
with the result of scraping about 80 feet of
the Columbia's bottom along the bed of the
river.

BLOODY SHIRT"
Waved Violently BY an Exconisderatc General
Who Hates the North.

RICHMOND, Va, May 3l.-At a reunion
of the Confederate Veterans Cavalry here
yesterday, General Thomas l.. Rosser was
one of the speakers. He said in part :
Comrades, when you marched out in '6l
you were buoyed by the hope of the future.
Now you have only the memory of the past
The great principles, for which we fought
have been dishonored but they are not dead
We are now only an ambulance corps, but
we are here today to do honor to the men
who fell, for we love their memory as we
love our God. The men who overran us
remind me of the locusts which are now in
Testing portions Of the state. They could
not whip us, but they devoured our sub
stance. The army that devoured us was an
army of substitutes. We killed all the sub
stitutes, and the men whom they repre-
sented stayed at home and made money and
now draw pensions. l despise the man " no
gives United States money to a pensioner.
This country can't stand when it makes one
citizen support another. | shall never vote
for Congressman who is in favor of gov
erDment pensions. l will say to Massa-
cliusetts, you pay your pensioners as Vir-
ginia pays hers"
General Rosser then went on to say that
the Grand Army was banded together to get
pensions, and if he had been at Birmingham
ne would have voted against the proposition
to invite than to attend He did not want
the m to csme to Richmond.
''Some time ago, he concluded, 1--WE un-

ment to the greatest private soldiers who

PUEBLO Col, May 3l.-It was . this
morning before the food began to subside
Shortly after that hour the sun came out
bright. On every hand was destruction and
ruin. Carcasses of horses, cows, dogs and
other animals were floating around in the
whirling water. The current in many places
could not be stemmed on account of drift
debris.
About 300 houses were torn from their
foundations and many foated out of town.
About 1000 homeless people were today
provided with shelter in public buildings
and private houses. Late this afternoon
rain again began to come down in sheets.
Two hundred and fifty families here, not
harmed by the flood last night, are now 10
great peril, as Fountain sweeps different
part of the city. It's feared many bodie S

never be recovered. Eve lives arc reported

Bombs were exploded Wednesday even

Hundreds of windows were broken and the
street lights were extinguished. The bombs
were set by Anarchists who wished to
emphasize their disapproval of the senti-

his associates. The damage to property
was not heavy and nobody was injured.

of the scientific men attached to the animal
industry laboratory recently inoculated a
guinea pig with fresh milk delivered in
Washington, and within the prescribed
period the little animal developed tuber-

circumstance in connection with this ex-
pertinent is the statement that the White
House milk supply came from this same
source.
