In the Sixth District Court yesterday
morning an inoffensive appearing woman
named Margaret McCann pleaded guilty
to n charge of threatening to kill her hus-
band. Evidently Judge Sweetland was
not satisfied that she understood the
enormity Of the charge to which she had

tho case next Tuesday. Judge Sweetland
saw the man when the warrant for the
woman's arrest was taken out and after
seeing the woman yesterday morning
stated he thought further inquiry should
be made before sentence was imposed.

NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FAT is ONLY a QUESTION
OF EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat should
eat proper food and digest it.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people is
that they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They
don't get enough nourishment. They are
slowly being starved. They are poisoned
bt the products of fermented and putrid
food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial. "A gentle, nat
ural, vegetable digestive. attacks the food
in your stomach just like the digestive
juices, and turns it into healthful nour-
ishment. 1t helps your stomach natural
ly. 1t makes thin dyspeptics fat. 1t
makes poisonous blood pure. 1t tones up
and cures the stomach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like Shak-
er Digestive Cordial. because nothing else
goes so naturally about 1t.
This is why it has been so successful IN
relieving nausea. vomiting, dqzzlness
weakness. bad taste, fever. fatuience
constipation. loss of appetite. headache
neuralgia. rheumatism. etc. by curing
the disorder which causes the symptoms.
A few doses will prove its value, but
you won't get fat on one bottle.

TORPEDO BOATS VALUE.
Opinions as 10 Their Real Worth Varies Among
Naval Architects and Engineers.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Society OF
Naval Architects and Marine Engi-
neers at their meeting in this city, to-
day. reelected President Clement A.
Griscom of Philadelphia. In discussing
the general subject of torpedo boats,
Lieut.. VIM. c. White of the navy, said
that up to the present time torpedo
boats have proved serviceable only In
attacking vessels at anchor. A rapid
rate of speed or rough water, he de-
clared, impairs their efficiency If not
rendering them absolutely useless.
Vessels, he said, which have been de-
stroyed by torpedo boats. could have
escaped their fate by little watchful-
ness. A blockading fleet. he thought.
could avoid all danger from torpedo
boats by withdrawing short distance
from the coast at night and in foggy
weather. He believed that the money
expended on torpedo boats could be ap-
piled to better advantage elsewhere.
Charles ID. Mosher the mechanical
engineer of this city. who constructed
the fast boat Ellide, said that while
the torpedo boat might attain the
speed of 80 knots an hour. it would be
impossible to keep up the speed for any
length of time and that a 26-knot ship
would overtake ii in little while in a
straight race in daylight.
A. +. Yarrow. the head of the Eng
lish firm of torpedo boat builders, said
there was difficulty in reaching a con-
clusion as to the value or capacity OF
torpedo boats on account of the alb
sence of a definite standard and differ
ences in the conditions under which
tests have been made. He told of de-
velopments in the construction of the
boats. saying that they had found the
water tube boilers to be superior to
the locomotive boilers and that the
elastic portions of the boat should not
be Joined directly to hard plates. but
that the change from rigidly to elias
ITCHY should he gradual. He told of
the torpedo boat his firm had built for
the Chilean navy which went - Chile
under its own steam, distance Of
II. 900 miles, crossing the Atlantic with
out repienishing it's coal supply and
suffering no injury from the tempestu-
Gus weather encountered Two days
after its arrival in Chile and without
its boilers being cleaned out. il made
its trial test and was successful.
An Experimental Study of the IL

professor of naval architecture and

sity. 1t dealt with the shape. size and
proportions of propellers and the infiu-
ence of displacement upon them.

CANADA AND UNITED STATES.
Their Premiers Having Friendly Conference
at Washington Over Matters Of Importance.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Secretary
Sherman and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the
premier of Canada. this afternoon be-
ferences for the purpose of bringing
about an agreement by which as many
as possible of the questions now caus-
ing friction between the United States
and the dominion of Canada may be
amicably adjusted. by treaty or other
wise. These conferences will be indie
pendent of the Behrng sea seal fisher
les conference which was the imme-
date occasion for the Canadian pre-
mier's present visit to Washington.
Mr.. Sherman and Sir Wilfrid were
together for two hours. 1t can be
stated on authority that the discussion
was devoted to the consideration of the
many important questions affecting
the general relations between the
United States and Canada. In such q
discussion the secretary of state and
the Canadian premier found them
selves in much accord. 1t was realized
on both hands, however, that the dis
cussiOn now opened was not one that
could bring immediate results as many
of the border controversies are of long
standing and many practical difficult
ties were in the way of settlement The
purpose, however was to approach the
general subject in spirit of friendli-
ness and allow this to develop ways
and means for dealing with the numer-
Gus questions relating to both coun-
tries, namely, border immigration, re-
ciprocity, fishery rights, railway bond
ing privileges, etc.
In view of cable reports from Lon
don stating that Mr.. Chamberlain, sec
rotary of state for the colonies in the
Salisbury cabinet, had expressed to
Lord Aberdeen, governor general of
Canada, strong disapproval of any
move by Sir Wilfrid looking to placing
the United States on the same basis as
Great Britain in tariff affairs, the mat
ter was called to the attention of the
