MIGHTY BATTLE SHIP.
Indiana Averages 1851 Knots For
Four Hours on OffiCial Trim.

In her official trial trip between Cape Ann
and Boone Island. Massachusetts Bay, dis
tancr OF 81 knot-, the huttcship Indiana made
an average speed of lj.Gl knots for four
hours. This Is 6l-l0O knots above the speed
required hy the government, and as
there was Il premium offered of S2j 600
for every quarter knot made over -, the
Cramps will receive $4,000 a. a bonus in
excess OF the contract price OF the ship. This
may be increased to $4,000 when the tidal
observations are worked cut. As the allow
ance for tidal distractions will probably give
the ship 1855 knots. The very satisfactory
speed developed by the Indiana is secondary
TO the wonderful way in which the machinery
worked.
The claim that the new battleship is the
finest fighter ailOat i not idle. The English
navy is reported to be the best in the world
not only IN the number OF its ships, officers
and men. but in the offensive and defensive
strength OF the individual. units. For years
it has been toward Great Britain that ship
builders have looked for the developm ent Of
mrn-of-war. In comparison with the great

Among these may be mentioned Julien de
la ROvers. who later became the celebrated
Pope julius II George d d'Amhoise, who was
minister of King Louis XII: Alexander
Farnese the two Barbarinis; Cardinal Ma
Zarin, who resided az AvignOn from 1884 to
1887, aud who when Minister OF State to
Louis XIV, accompanied that pussant
monarch on the visit he made to the repre-
sentative OF the Sovereign Pontiif at Avignon
in 1860.
The Eoi-SOlell was not. however the only
French monarch who had been entertained
in the palace Charles VI visited the place
in 1920; Francis |. in 1915. 1888, and 1886 !;
Charles lX. in 1864 Henry III. in 1874
Queen Marie de Medici in 1000. and Louis
Mi. IN 1922.
After the last Of the vice legates Philip
Cas0ni. had been expelled from Avgnon il
1890, the palace was for few years entirely
abandoned During this time it was pillaged
from roof to cellar. Doors windows and tiles,
the richly worked iron and woodwork aud
the magnificent marble staircase, were car
ried away by the people. The marble Of the
staircase was used to build tirepaces with.
and many of the latter are still to be seen in
the houses of the peasantry round Ayignon.
subsequently, however, the north wing.
which had been constructed by BanOit NIL,
was transformed into a departmental prison
and the remainder Of the palace was used is
a barracks.
Finally in 1910. by imperial decree, the
latter part of the palace was given 10 the
town Of Ayignon, and the usutruct con-
ceded to the military engineers for bar
racks. The military authorities have
abominably mutilated the place without
making a good barracks of it. 1t is a matter
of congratulation to all lovers Of art
that the historical pile is at length
to be rescued from the hands Of the
spoiler, and restored. The work of restora-
tion is estimated to cost nearly $2.O0OOJp,
and it is proposed to convert the palace into
"museum of Chr>tendom, which will
contain many souvenirs Of the building 5
palmy days. as the residence Of the Popes. 1t
may be that it is destined one Of these days
TO recover its former eclat by again becom-
ing the seat of the Sovereign Pontilf.

Says the New Haven News: The
travelling expenses of the commercial
statesmen of the country foot up over
$500, loco, 900 a year, and their total
salaries and commissions probably
amount to about $3.50, O,000,0 900. But
these great sums, making together
$3.50, 900, 900, would not begin to pay
for the cost and loss of time that
would result were we to return to the
old system of letting the customers do
the travelling and visit the whole
salers in person. A good deal OF
pleasure, however, has been lost out
oflife by the change of methods. The
retailer used to enjoy his occasional
trips to the great cities to buy goods,
while his daily life on the road is a
bore to the drummer.

The Minnesota Ready.

The Acknowledgement has received q
dispatch from the Brooklyn Navy
Yard stating that the Minnesota is
ready to be turned over to the state
of Massachusetts. 1t is likely that
Adjt Gen. Dalton and Capt. Weeks,
commanding the naval brigade, will
proceed to New York, SO as to be in
readiness to receive the ship at the
appointed time. Arrangements have
been made with New York towing
company to tow the hulk to this port
as soon as she is transferred. it is
generally admitted that the old ship
is weak, and much care will have to
be taken in getting her from New
York TO Boston. With caution, how
ever, there appears to be no good
reason why she cannot be brought
down the sound and around Cape Cod.

in a cellar wall at Landau last week it will

The arrest was brought about through the
persistent efforts of Deputy Sheriff Manson
S. Brown and County Solicitor George II.
Adams of Plymouth. who fol owed up the
theory that Gray was the last person with his
wife prior to her disappearance. When her
disappearance became generally known his
excuse was, on being questioned, that she
had gone to California The matter not be-
ing taken up by the officials, soon went from
the public mind, and was only freshened last
week when human bones were found in Mr..
Brili's cellar.
Gray was first sought in Colebrook where
he had three brothers living. They sup

Tie Providence Journal remarks:
The United States Government main
tains at West Point for the training of
officers for the army some such 1nsti-
tuition as is needed for the instruction
of a better class of farmers. The
fairest portions of the earth's surface
are still unoccupied, and can only be
successfully taken possession of and
developed by men and women who
have been specially fitted for the work.
They must study botany to know the
uses of plants, hygiene to understand
how to take care of themselves in all
vicissitudes of climate and exposure,
chemistry to show them how to get
the most out of different soils, must
know how to handle laborers, to take
advantage Of markets and to acquire
new language or dialect at three
months notice. Men and women with
such an education would hold their
own anywhere, and would even look
down upon the occupant of hall bed
room in city boarding house, although
he might hold a lofty position on a
stool in beautiful upholstered bank
with the promise of three-thousand-
dollar-a-year salary after his health
was gone and the weary years of wait

life, Our methods of education are
wrong, and need radical revision, but

Indiana has thicker and better armor and
can concentrate on any given point heavier
fire; she is smaller, and therefore almost
certainly quicker In manouverinC. Her total
coal capacity is greater, and the protection
of her guns Is better arranged.
The Prince George is held rs the peer of
the latest designed ships OF the British navy.
Though this ship has displacement OF Il,
300 tons. and the Indiana only l0,25o, the
United States vessel would probably be more
than a match for the English one in duel.
Taken all in all. the Indiana has no equal in
any other navy. and her superiority is all the
more remarkable when her moderate size is
nntal.
