HOW TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED OF MODERN WARSHlPS

guard against bad workmanship, each
man having his particular range of work
for which he is held responsible, his name
being recorded, and in the event of dis
covery of bad work dismissal is sure to
follow, which to a workman in British
dockyard means loss OF pension at the ex-
piration of long years of active employ
ment. Private firms take similar precau-
tions.
That sheathing has been so long de-
ferred in our navy is unfortunate for
many reasons. but the probabilities
strongly indicate that future cruisers may
be built on this plan on which 299 vessels
in European navies have been constructed.

ABOUT SHOES

NEVER wear shoe that pinches the
/ Y heel, says Health Culture.
Never wear shoe or boot so large in the
heel that the foot is not kept in place.
Never wear shoe or boot that has de-
pressions in any part of the sole to drop
any joint or bearing below the level plane.
Never wear a shoe with a sole turning
up very much at the toes, as this causes
the cords on the upper part of the foot to
contract.
Never wear shoe that presses up into
the hollow of the foot.
Never have the top of the boots tight, as
it interferes with the action of the calf
muscles, making one walk badly and
spoils the shape of the ankle.
Never wear one pair of shoes all the time
unless obliged to do so. Two pairs of
boots worn day at a time, alternately,
give more service and are much more
healthful
Never wear leather sole Innings to stand
upon; white cotton drilling or linen is
much better and more healthful
Never wear a short stocking, or one
which, after being washed, is not at least
half-inch longer than the foot. Bear in
mind that stockings shrink. Be sure that
they will allow your toes TO spread out at
the extreme ends as this keeps the joints
in place and makes a strong and attractive
foot. AS to shape of stockings, the
single digitaI or ''one-toe stocking is best.

THE GROOM is A CORPSE.


NEW YORK, July 21.-Howard r. Bene-
dict. son of James II. Benedict. and a rea-
tive of T.. c. Benedict, the banker, died
this evening several hours after he had
been married to Miss Margaret Lloyd
society belle of Cincinnati, and daughter
of Col. Harlan Page Lloyd The marriage
was celebrated in Mr.. Benedicts apart
Regiment Veterans Club, and it was there
that the young man died. He was a MEM
ber of the firm of Benedict Brothers, bank
ers and brokers. On July he was strick-
en- with typhoid fever. When 1T became
known a few days ago that Mr.. Benedicts s
condition was serious Miss Lloyd, who was
visiting friends in Washington, was tele-
graphed for. She reached this city early
this morning. Soon after. in company with
one of Mr.. Benedicts physicians, she went
to the bedside of Mr.. Benedict. The latter
was sinking fast and ii was his earnest re-
quest that the marriage ceremony be per-
formed Rev. DR.. Mason. A. S. Eagle. as
sistant pastor of ST. Thomas Church. was
sent for and officiated in the presence of
James H Benedict. jr., a brother of the
groom. Mrs. LeGrand Benedict and Dr.
and Mrs. Wall. None of those who were
present at the marriage left the clubhouse
during the day. Mr.. Benedict seemed to
rally after the marriage, but toward noon
he became worse and after that sank rap
idly until he died. The parents Of the de-
ceased have been travelling Europe for
some time. They had been informed by
cable of the condition Of their son and
sailed from Bremerhaven this morning for
New York The body of the deceased will
be embalmed and the funeral will be de-
layed until the arrival of Mr.. and Mrs.

unfavorable to the Endorsement of Mr..

attention. but a majority of the middie-of-

the point reply that the question Is one
of comparative insignifcance. Names are,
however. occasionally mentioned. So far.
the name of Paul Nandervoort. OF Omaha,
ex-commander of the Grand Army. is more
frequently heard than that OF any other.

capped by not having the Endorsement OF

Debs and Congressman Towne, OF Mime

parently with serious purpose Ii is sug-
gested that the discussion of Mr.. Towne
as a probability is for the purpose OF
leading up To the nomination OF Senator
Pettigrew, who has openly joined the Pop
ulist party. 1T is very apparent, however,
that il the anti-Bryan faction should prove

ST. LOUIS, July 21.-The Populist ma
tionaI committee decided on Senator Marion
Butler. of North Carolina, for temporary

out much apparent opposition, but there
was an adverse element present which
would have manifested itself If the COM
mittee had not beer so evidently favorable

victory in the committee. at least. for those
who are opposed to the nomination of both
Bryan and Sewall. 1t was at first the plan

UP General Weaver for the position, but
they changed at the last moment TO Gen.

presidential ticket with General weaver

opposing faction would be divided between

ST. LOUIS. July N.-When the national
committee met this morning it at once
went IN work There was a difference III
the understanding as TO the proper appor-
tionment of delegates from some of the
States. IT appeared that many of the
States had fewer votes than they were en-
titled 10 and one or two more than was
tbair dine The determination of these ques-
tiops made necessary a general explanation
of the basis Of apportionment and called
o,,t-a number of speeches. which consumed
considerab time. There were also some
States which made claims to greater rep
resentation. and several changes were
made In most cases. however. the repre-
sentation was changed only to the extent
of ono or two votes. The Texas delega-
ton was increased from ninety-five TO 1o3.
The renresentation in each of the Terri
tories and the District of Columbia, except
Oklahoma. was increased from four TO six.
oklahoma was put on the basis of a State.
because of the large Populist vote cast
there, and given nine votes.
The Illinois contest was next taken up.
This contest involved the seats of the
Twenty-Five delegates from the congression-
Fl district comprised in the city of Chi
cago. 1t was charged that the conven-

were not Populists. One of the delegations
was headed by IL. s. Taylor and another by
William Burn5 who. as an officer of the
American Railway Union. was imprisoned
with Eugene Debs after the Chicago
strike. Speeches were made by both Burns
and TavIor who went over the merits of
the controversy in detail and INDUCED in
mutual criminatiohs. Burns claimed that
the Taylor people were not Populists. He
charged them with lukewarmness in con-
nection with the cause of the men engaged
i'm the great strike. and insisted that the
Taylorites had taken a position against
the Interests of the party in signing the
Chicago manifesto in the interest of Sena-
tor Teller for the presidency The contest
was decided by the adoption by the COM.
