Our Formidable WarsllIp.

New York Press
to the active list of the United States
navy, when the double turreted mont
tor Terror went into commission at the
Brooklyn navy yard. She is heavily
armored, and has four ten-inch guns in
her turrets which will throw steel pro-
jectiles with accuracy and effectiveness
nine miles.
The Terror has a low freeboard and
her turrets are low, for which reasons
she will offer poor targrt for hostile
men-ofwar. They could bring all four
of her guns to bear on ship which, at
considerable distance, would have
great difficulty in hitting her at all.
The turrets OF the Terror are moved
by new and untried system of the APP
plication OF hydraulic power. Opinion
IS divided as to the relative merits of
turret systems used in the Puritan and
the Terror. Some argue that as the
guns of the Terror are so near the water
she could net fight in seaway, as the
shot would be sure to strike the crest of
the waves and be DETECTED. Also, they
claim, the wash of the waves over the
monitors low freebOard will cause a
leak in the ring when the turrets re
yolve through the decks Others claim
that byt choosing the moment of firing
when the ship is rising on a wave the
danger OF hitting wave crest and get
ting detected shot weuld be wholly
avoided. All objections, they claim,
are more than offset by the small target
the vessel offers to the enemy. The
which revolve in barbets; that is, in
circular breastwork of steel. Thus the
guns are much higher above the water,
and there is no possibility of leakage
around the turret ring.
The Terror will be fighting ship,
however, which will not be afraid to
tackle anything. Beside her four ten
inch guns, she will carry two siX-pound
and two three-pound rapid fire guns.
She will carry crew of l5l men all
told. AS soon as the Terror's stores are
on board and the crew get Strengthened
out in their new quarters, she will go to
sea for trial trip. The turrets of the
Terror are armored with fourteen inches
! of steel, and she has defective deck
and heavy side armor. She is a twin
screw vessel and is expected to make
! fairly good speed.

the turrets of the Terror also sends up
to the breech of her great guns the am
munltion to fire them. The projectiles
and the charges of powder come slip
ping up curved railway that springs
from the magazine in the bowels of the
ship, and are shifted into the open
| breeches Of the guns. OF cOurse, yes
sci of the type ofthe Terror is, as every
Ching in modern naval warfare is largely
matter of experiment. AS the United
States first showed the efficacy of a war
vessel of low freeboard and heavily
armored turrets in the fight of the Mon
itor at Hampton Roads, the tradition of
the navy rather chung to vessel like
the Terror. Most of the monitors have
evolved into battleships, but the Terror
retains the distictive features of that lit
tie 'cheese-box on raft" which saved
| the Union fleet from the Merrlmack.

An attractively seasonable flavor per-
vades The Ladies' Home Journal for
May, the rich bounties of spring being
presented in poetry, in prose and in

features in this direction, aside from
the dainty cover, which gives a sug-
gestion of having been touched with
the brush of water-colorist, is a draw

Among the articles along more serious
lines is Ex-President Harrison's paper

Irving on Ihsen.

I never saw but one of Ibsen's plays
acted, and l have not read them all.
Once | saw THE Dolls House" and |
saw in 1t some admirable opportuni-
ties for the actors. particularly for the
actress who played Nora. But l could
not see in the play or in those that |
have read any breadth of interest The
whole story, the whole action, was on
such a microscopic scale. Certainly.
people who go to the theater want to
be interested in some wider field of
action than those plays offer. l have
never seen the possibility Of the IbSen
plays ever gaining great popularity.
With us in England they never have.
They are given from time to time. but
they have never attracted large audi
ences. For my part, l do not believe
they ever will.-lnterview in the New

appeared before the board went into
the case SO thoroughly that there is
nothing to be added in the way of argu-
ment. Work remains to be done to in
'uce every person, and especially par
ents, TO attend the meeting of the board

bers that the East End is not neutral

to say that the people who are patrons

III an independent school district and
manage their school affairs by them
selves at any cost rather than submit
10 the expense of sending scholars to
the Broadway school to say nothing of
the time and inconvenience occasioned
hy such consolidation.
Old members Of the board say that
there was 4 fair and square agreement
with the people of this end that the
highschool department was to remain
until a central high school was built.
To force Il consolidation now is a breach
Of faith and a confscation of the privil-
eyes Of the people. See that yourself
and neighbor are on hand Saturday to
personally protest against consolidation
now.

Down in st. Paul even the police
department was go chagrinned at the
sweeping republican victory that an
order was issued to close up all saloons
n. l. O'Clock Tuesday night and the
order was obeyed in nearly all cases.
The order came like thunder bolt to
the saloon men who expected to do a
big business all night. Under the adj
ministration Of Mayor Smith the
saloons have had no hours for closing,
most of them remaining open all night
and on Sunday. Chief Clark's order
shows how easily the closing law can be
enforced when once the officers set

English Wages and Cost of Living.

a representative of the Merchant
Tailors of New York recently visited
England. Investigating the subject of
wages and cost of living, Mr.. Robert
Bhssert found that girls earned from 10
to IS shillings week; men from 81 to
so shilllngs; foremen were paid more.
He found all the commodities OF life
from 10 to 20 per cent dearer than what
they were in New York. He stated
there that the people of America could
live much cheaper than in England and
was told this could not be, because men
got board, lodging and washing for s
shillings 10 10 shillings 80 to 81 5O) a
week. He went TO see these places,
travelling over about 50 streets leading
out Nestgate. They were small houses

alleyways or courtvards, > to rooms.
They seemed wretchedly dirty and the
sanitary condition was awiullv neglec-
ted; all sorts OF refuse thrown about, no
closet attached to any Of the houses.
with but one in a yard to supply the
wants OF from one to ten or fifteen fam
lies. The food, on his inquring, con-
sisted: Breakfast, tea and bread and
butter, or bread and herring; dinner,
pork, inferior beef or mutton. which
cost one shilling a pound for beef and
ten pence to shilling for mutton, with
pork at the same price. For tea. or
bagGlng, as they call il, served at
