Duke could nowhere have found n
nobler and more unselfsh wife than
the Duchess. for she enters heart and

so thoroughly understands the great ma

1t often happens that a clever woman

charms are her womanliness and the
tenderness that she shows to the poor
patients when she Is assisting her hus-

sons of the Duchess we're born a long
time after her three daughters, and
their births were naturally the source
of great JOY to their parents. The elder,
Prince Ludwig Wilhelm. Is six years
younger than his youngest sister. while
the youngest is EN- years younger, being
only even years of age. The Duke and
Duchess had quite given mp all hopes Of
having a son when the elder Prince

THE annual report of General
Flagler, the Chief Ordnance Of
fcer of the army, recommends
that better arms be provided for
the militia of the States. He
points out that many of theStates
are supplied with obsolete and
worthless arms, which would be
of very little practical use in
case of trouble. The existing
appropriations are totally inade-
quate for providing proper arms
and equipments for the State
troops; hence General Flagler
recommends that the War De
partment be authorized to receive
the obsolete arms from the
States, and issue in return ser
viceable Springfield rifles Of Al
caliber.

Cramps Want the Contract.

Henry W. Cramp, Of the great
ship building firm. returned
from New York last night and
confirmed the statement from
Washington that the William
Cramp and Sons Company had
submitted a bid to the Navy De
partment agreeing to furnish
three ~battleships of the type Of
the Indiana for the sum of S.
900, 900. Mr.. Cramp said thai
the battleships were to be con-
structed according TO plans anc
specifications, and the Philadel'
phia firm agrees to furnish the
armor for two of the war vessels
giving the third without armol
to the government.

shall be Of II 1000 tons dlSplace'

than the battleship Indiana. II
fact, the published reports of ou1
bids submitted to the Navy De
partment are true"
When Mr.. Cramp was asked
why his firm had made the lib
eral proposition to build three
battleships for the United States
Government at the maximum
cost fixed by Congress for tw'
battleships he replied with
smile:
1--WE simply make it interest

and besides we want Philadel
phia to get the contract. If VIZ

Mr.. Cramp said the bids ar

THE NEW STATE.

The President of the United
States will soon issue a procla-
nation announcing the result of
the election in Utah. The date
of the proclamation will be the
birthday of the new State, which
will then be declared admitted
by Congress into the Union. The
Utah commission has yet to GER
tify to the President an official
report of the balloting, and be-
fore declaring the result the
President must ascertain that all
the provisions of the act for the
admission of States have been
complied with. An additional
star to the flag for the new State
of Utah will be placed in "Olo
Glory" on July 4, 1896, The
law provides that such additions
shall take effect on the 4th day
of July next succeeding the ad
mission of a State. Orders have
been issued by the Secretary Of
War to the contractors who
make flags for the army to pu'
forty-fve stars in all bunting
hereafter. They r not to Ee
used, however, until the celebra
ton Of the anniversary of Amer
lean Independence. According
to the general understanding
Utah will send a Gentle and

tatives. This would have beer

vorable to the Democrats, The

med upon the sectarian division
