GjneeF ROllker.
The Navy Department has received the
official report of Chief Engineer Rocker.
the expert member of the naval trial board
upon the recent trial Of the torpedo boat
Dupont. This boat made her contract
speed upon the former trial. but one of
her condensers failed to give satisfac-
ton and the naval authorities were obliged
to overhaul 1t themselves in the face Of
the contractors refusal to do So.
The expert reports that he found the in
ner surface OF the starboard condenser
covered with thin lining Of grease and
a gritty substance. This was mostly cleared
away and the steam trial held on the 18th
showed that the condenser worked satfs-
factorily. though in the opinion Of Mr..
Rocker the condersing surface il rather
small for the power developed BY the en-
zines and slight coating Of grease woult1

says, by boiling out with soda On this
report the department has decided to ac-

Honest Convictions.

The surest and safest recommendation
TO the goqD will of people whose friend
ship and confidence are worth having
is a straightforward and steadfast 10y
atty to faith and principle. Even the
most uncompromising bigot, il not alb
solutely a fool, is capable of a%ppreciat-
ing the merit and value of such fidelity
to honest convictions, and is compelled
to respect the motives and admire the
courage of the man whose course is
so directed. Nothing is ever perma-
nently lost by answering allegiance
to honor and right. but ultimate failure
is inevitable where strict adherence to
these standards is -ashly sacrificed
through motives of expectancy. These
are simple but essential truths which
every young nan who hopes to succeed
must build firmly and squarely into the
foundation upon which his character and
future are destined to rest. Detroit

In one or two of the large establish
ments in New York there is always a
prominent counter devoted TO what are
to be the new fabrics and color-a place
d-honneur, as il were. Sometimes a very
curious observer will discern hat the
goods thus displayed are withdrawn
within a very short time, as though
there had been n tentative feeling of the
public pulse and the temperature was
not what it might he. This season, so
far, the piece d'hDnDeur has been given
TO smooth, light cloths, such as were
the fashion in Paris last summer. and
most exquisite are the shades in cash
mere, drap d'ete, etc, while a tine-cord
light weight blue serge is shown, to be
made up most deliberately and with eX-
pensive ribbons. BY the way, let no
woman delude herself into the belief
il will cost little to dress well this year
Materials may seem extraordinarily
cheap, but there IS every indication that
much trimming is to be used on waists
and skirts alike, and yards and yards
will be necessary to make h velvet
bands or the tiny ruf1es that look so
smart and fresh.

bered that it is n fashion much more

On serges silk braid will be put on in
the same way as the velvet ribbon, and

cred possible to modify fashions and
make them becoming. In this age of

put on in many different ways.-Har-
