Launching the ship.

That a launch Is matter Of mathe-
mates, as well as Of great skill and
labor, is shown by the fact that the man
Of science who has the matter In charge
always makes a set Of calculations snow

precise condition at practically every foot
of the Journey down the ways. If a
boat should get In the way. or II IT
should take an unusual length Of time TO
knock out the keel-blocks. or II any one
of half a dozen things should cause
serious delay. the scientific man knows
just how long he can wait, and just how
far the limit Of safety extends.
There Is always one supreme moment
In a launch and It is at a time that
escapes the average spectator. 1t is when
the vessel gets fairly well into the water
This is when an important factor Known
as the moment OF buoyancy" comes into
play. II you can imagine a vessel sliding
down an incline without any water into
which TO drop, you can see that the YES
sci would tip down suddenly at the end
which has left the ways and would rise
at the end still on the incline But. real

When the great English battle-ship Ra-

The Verdict Was Anticipated-A Summary
 of the Case.
 Lexington, Va, July 9.-The trial of c. W.Irvine was concluded today by the jury bringing in a verdict of not guilty, after an absence of a half hour in the jury room.
 Hon. John w. Daniels opened the day for the defense and spoke for two hours. He made a most brilliant speech for his client Capt. James Bumgartner of Staunton followed for the state and closed the argument with a most telling speech. The trial attracted widespread interest during it's four days session and the. time was consumed in examining many witnesses. The jury was a repre- sentative body and had been summoned from Rockingham county. The common weaith's attorney, Robert Catlett gave notice to the court that he would reserve his decision in regard to prosecuting the case further until court next month. MT Irvine is under three similar indictments. The occasion of the trial was the footing of the Bank of Lexington by it's trusted cashier. MT. C. M. Figgatt, for $150OO0. He was in partnership with MT. c. w. IT. vine, the well-known hotel man here, in real estate business during the boom days When the trustees of the bang were examining the banks assets the books were found to show that the firm of c. W Irvine & Co. had overdrawn its ac- counts to the amount of $41 ,000. A special grand jury was summoned and indict- ments were found against Cashier Fig gait. Bookkeeper Goodwin and c. W. IT, vine and Figgatt left for parts unknown and Goodwin was tried under one indict- ment and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. Irvine's trial was post porfed until the present term of court, as the indictments were faulty, and he was tried for felony and verdict of acquittal rendered. Suit has been entered against him to recover $41. 900, the amount owed by the, firm to the defunct bank. shown by the books. The verdict was as had been eXpected

 Boston Budget.
 An ex-governor of Massachusetts tells the following, illustrative of a calling for business: Two brothers had for many years done an undertaking business in suburban town. The elder had a son, Thomas and desiring to establish him in life, obtained from his younger broth CT promise that Thomas should be taken into the business whenever he (he elder) should die The promise was ob- tained, in spite of a feeling on the broth CTS part that Tom had no calling for the business. The elder soon died and Thom- as became his unces partner.
 He made good progress and was soon sent to arrange for the funeral of a wealthy man who left as his chief mourn CT a widow who had already buried two husbands. The young man returned, having made sat isfactory arrangements as to car riages, music, flowers, etc., much to his unces joy, who now felt that he had misjudged the boy. On the following day the uncle himself went to see that all was going smoothly and found Mrs X in high dudgeon. iExpre*ising his regret and surprise he told Mrs. X that Tom had erything arranged apparently satisfac- torily, and asked her what was the mat ter.
 We'll" she replied "Tom did very well until we discussed the time at which the services should be held. l had not quite made up my mind, when Tom, meaning to help me out said: At what time have you been accustomed to bury your hus- bands, madame?'

Old-tashloned Taste of a New Woman.
 Real double hollyhocks, some of them yellow as butter and others red as the setting sun. Haunted their beauty as gayly in the florists window as if they were leaning over the wall in a country garden. Two persons, apparently mod ern business women, stopped before them Tor several minutes as if the sight stirred the memory of some spot dear to their. hearts. There was time. said the elder woman to her companion, when the sight of flowers which breathe of life on farm would make me so home sick for the meadows and garden where ] rambled in my childhood that I would crawl back to my room here in the city like a wounded animal to it's den, and my heart would ache so that l could not work. Now I am thankful that I can have an opportunity to look, if only for a moment. at something which reminds me of home. It does noe make me un- happy now" she said with a brave smile, while tear glistened on the purse she held in her hand.

, are AID not as going to establish a
bounty principle, ito which Mr.. Mander
son said such was the case. He con
tended thar Congress had the consti-
tutional right to make donation or
gh- if 1T should see fit and quoted
Jerey Black as authority for the
opinion.
Citing precedents, Mr.. Henderson re-
ferred to the opposition made by the
Federalists TO the purchase of the
Louisiana territory and said: suppose
we should then have had an official
who would have assumed to nullity
that act by refusing to pay 6ur the
money appropriated. He would have
been spectacle for God and man.
thank God it was not decided against
the purchase and I hope we may go
on acquiring and purchasing until We
get Hawaii and Cuba and other out
lying strips of territory towards which
we have been looking with longing
eyes. Suppose. too, a comptroller mad
refused to pay warrants for war eX-
penses during the rebellion on the
ground that he had doubts of their
constitutional validity. In that event,
he added, Il think there would have
been a rape on the treasury and
murder Of the comptroller"
ConstitutiOnaIity of the Law.
M. Henderson resumed his argu-
ments. devoting this portion of his
statement to the constitutionality of
the bounty law. For the purpose Of
establishing the validity of the law in
this respect he quoted many authori-
ties citing legislation and congress
sional debates as early as 1879 and
coming down through the history OF
the nations. II showed that from the
earliest days bCuntieS had been a COM
mon thing and claimed that only the
slightest disposition had been shown
in Congress to criticize their cOnstitu-
tiOnality. He expressed the opinion
that 10000 900 in gold would be sent
abroad this year for sugar, and con-
tended that one of the best means for
keeping our gold at home was to pro-
duce our own sugar. The senator con-
tended that as a constitutional ques-
ton there was no distinction between
encouraging an industry by granting
bounties and imposing a. protection
duty.
Il cannot" said Senator Henderson,
in conclusion, deem it possible that
all past presidents are to be thrown
TO the winds and new and startling
and. as l believe, dangerous prece-
dent, be established by yourself (Mr.
Bowler). I believe such danger to be
most serious, and not only because
of the particular interest involved.
but as threatening a uSurpation OF
power such as was never contemplated
by the founders Of the government.
In doing that, you are starting on a
new road which leads to dangers that
cannot be foreseen and to disasters
that viii prove national in their char
acter."
Mr. Bowler asked Senator Mander-
son some questions for the purpose
of making sure of his position as to
Of f9f fa
books, and among other things a. Led
him how the law could be tested. To
this Mr.. Henderson replied that there
were ways of testing the law, but
that as he was engaged on the other
side he did not propose to suggest
them to the enemies of his constitu-
ents.
At o'clock the hearing went over
until 1920 tomorrow, when Senator
Blanchard viii be the speaker.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA special TO the
World from London says:
Justin Mccarthy, NJ. p, has addressed
the following manifesto to the Irish peo-
pie here and in America:
Fellow CONFERENCE.-The election Of a
great coersionist and anti-home rule ma
jority to the house of commons makes
it my duty to point out to you that dis
sension in our ranks is ruinous to the ma
tional cause; that the only means by
which we can hope to repair the disasters
which discord and characterization have
brought upon us are through the restora-
ton of discipline and a genuine observ-
ance of the Irish Nationalist party
pledged to act Loyalty together.
No Ground For Dependency.
With united party in a united coun-
try, even the present situation would al
ford no ground for dependency IN the
Irish party. No man can doubt but that
for unhappy events in the autumn of 1890
the verdict in 1892 in favor of home rule
would have been absolutely decisive.
Friction alone prevented the result IN
happily, this friction has continued since
and outbreaks in discipline in our own
ranks has gwen the enemies of Ireland
another lease of power in Great Britain.
In spite of all disbursement and
difficulties the national spirit has once
again asserted itself. Ireland voted with
unconquerable resolve, but it cannot be
doubted that Ireland would have done far
better still, and Great Britain would not
have done SO i'll, had it not been for the
So-called Irish Nationalist, who have
been endeavoring openly to bring back
the cOerSiOniStS to power, and still more
in lamentable blows aimed at the Irish
party and the Irish national cause by
one of our own colleagues at the most
critical moment in the elections. 1t would
almost be impossible to over-eStimate the
disastrous effects of Mr.. Healys inbound
ed charges against his own colleagues
at Omagh, made as they were. on the au-
and at period of the election when
there was no possibility of counteracting
their effect at the polls.
HeaIey's Action Characterized.
1t is with deep regret that l feel COM
PEELED to characterize Mr.. Healey'S &C
ton in the Omagh convention as disloyal
to the Irish party, even setting aside our
own special obligations to each other as a
breach of ordinary code of honor and dis
cipline essential to the existence of every
political organization. The Omagh scan
dal is unhappily only the latest of a Sc
rieS of attacks on the unity and efficiency
of the Irish party. Let us endeavor that
it shall be the last. Convinced as [ am
of the injury such actions have already
inflicted on our great national cause,
parliament to address a respectful word
of warning to our fellow countrymen and
to inform my colleagues frankly of the
views | hold-vieWS which, in case | am
honored by a reelection to the chair OF
the party, it will be my duty to my ut
most power to enforce.
(Signed) JUSTIN MCCARTHY.
