SUBMARINE BOAT TESTED.
Inventor Raddatz of Oshkosh, Guards
His Secret Carefully.

Oshkosh, Wis, June 22.-The Raddatz
submarine boat, enlarged and improved
has been launched and made a short test
voyage with satisfactory results. 1t was
found necessary after a number of trips
had been made the first time she was put
into the water to add to the dimension of
the boat in order that more powerful pro-
polling machinery may be carried.
This has been done. Mr.. Raddatz has
been in Milwaukee building a large engine
of his own invention. to which power can
be applied without the use of COAL and
thus the smoke is done away with while
the boat is submerged
The various parts of the propelling
gear. after being set up in shops in Mil
waukee, were packed in small boxes and
shipped to this city. The boxes were not
opened until safely deposited inside the
cigar-shaped hull in order that prying
investigators might not learn Mr.. Rad
DATES valuable secret, which he guards
with utmost vigilance. No one is al
lowed inside this queer looking craft ex-
cept an assistant Raddatz claims the
boat can stand sufficient pressure to en-
able it to descend 800 feet.

ROSES IN JACKSON PARK.
Wooded Island of Worlds Fair Fame
Now Bower of FIowery Beauty.

Chicago, June 22.-The rose garden at
Jackson park remains as one of the few
membranes of the white city of glor-
ious memory.
The island bower is now in the height
of its glory, and it's teeming wealth of
roseate beauty magnetizes visitors in the
southern park who enter its fragrant pre-
cincts. It is due to the care of Fred
Kanst, head gardener, and his son that
the $50 square rods of floral attra ctiveness
were preserved from desolation that sue
ceeded the worlds fair, and now 10000
radiant blooms borne on 1900 sturdy
plants are witness to their provident So
ucitude.
Nowhere outside of California is there
such a profusion of rosaceae. There are
IS varieties, from the big red hybrids
Prince Camille De Rohan, to the hum
bier rigosas, the prairie rose, Jacque-
minots and Nine. Plantcias.
AS a foil for the roses, or as a substi-
tute when their poisoning time shall
have passed, Mr. Kanst has provided peo-
MES, peoples. aconitums, sunf1owers and
phlox, each in their turn preserving the
water bound glade from barrenness.

SUBURBAN HANDICAP.
Starters are Not Up to the Standard
of Former Years

New York, June 22.-Despite a beau
tiful day and perfect track, the outlook
for the Suburban handicap today was
not brilliant. The eight likely starters
were not up to the standard of previous
years, the top weight being carried by
Ben Elder, who does not by any means
rank with Henry of Navarro, the last
years winner.
The starters and jockeys as sent out
last night numbered eleven, but not
more than eight of these are likely to
go to the post. OF this lot Halma,
Semper Ego, Volley and Howard Mann
are considered doubtful, the latter be
ing a mud horse of the string and
his starting depended upon a track
such as he had when he won the Brook
lyn handicap, which added u pounds to
his original weight in the Suburban.
Ben Brush is the favorite of the high
weights and Havoc among the lightly
burdened starters.
