OBJECT TO GREEN.
Protest Against Color Selected for
Smaller Boats Of Navy.
Members of the A. p. A. the Chief OBJ
iectors - Threaten to Have Secretary
Herbert Impeached Unless An
other Color Is Substituted,

A New York Sun special from Wash
ington says: The American Protective
association has taken offense at the or
der of the navy department directing
that all torpedo boats, rams and like
craft be painted green instead of white,
and threatens to secure the impeach-
ment of Secretary Herbert unless some
other color is substituted. Protesting
petitions have been coming to the de-
partment ever since it became known
that Assistant Secretary McAdoo had
signed the order on ST. Patrick's day,
and hundreds of memorialists say they
will urge upon their representatives in
congress to have law passed nullify-
ing Secretary Hebert's order.
The opposition of these organizations
was not unexpected, but it was not be-
lieved that they would be serious.
Many of them declare that if the United
States orders its warships to be paint
ed green it will be direct bid for the
Irish votes. Months ago the author
tiles decided that some other color than
white was preferable for torpedo boats
in order to make the craft invisible
The department will pay no attention
to the protests, and in a few weeks all
ships of the navy of certain tonnage
will be painted green.

ECLIPSE.
ROADSTER STALLION.

Eclipse is q brown horse, standing
15S hand high, weight 1175 pounds.
He is very smooth built, has heavy
and we'll formed bone and is very fiue
about head and neck; his feet
aud legs are of the best. He has
superior style and action and his dis
position could not be improved. In
short he is perfect driving horse
and in spite of the overloaded con-
dition of the horseInarket for the
past few years this type of horse has
always been sought for and have
commanded paying prices. Eclipse
is bred from the best sons of the
Great Almont 80, being sired by
Athlete 715, dam Lady Mac by Antar
Jr 5567, 2nd dam by Morgan Rather
and Bird dam by Plow Boy $50.
Eclipse has never made a cover that
did not produce foal but as he had
never had a season in the stud he has
very limited number of foals but
what he has would be credit to any
sire.
His first colt, (the only one he had
at that time) was shown at the How
ard Co., Fair in 1894 and won first
premium in her class.
Eclipse won first premium as a
yearling at the Howard Co. Fair in
1899, and with his full brother then
about twenty days old, helped their
dam Lady Mace to win the first
premium offered for brood mares in
the same year.
Eclipse will be kept at the farm of
Ira Richardson, three and one-half
miles southeast of Cresco, in Orleans
twp. Winnesheik Co. Iowa, and will
stand in Cresco at the Rink Feed
Barn, Mondays and Saturdays of
each week after May LIST 1896 for the
rest of the season,
The prospective breeder will do
we'll to examine this grand young
horse before breeding elsewhere.
Terms-Ten dollars to insure, SER
vice fee due when mare is known to
be in foal.
