A New speed Course i.

The Navy Department has decided to estab-
fish trial course in the Chesapeake bay for
the speed trial of the torpedo boats being
built at the Columbia Iron Works, and which
will probably be used also By the light
draught gunboats being completed by the
Newport News Shipbulding Company.
Captain Dunlap, com manding the United
States coast survey steamer Blake at tine
Baltimore port, has been directed to sail from
Baltimore at once to begin the work of measr
uring off the course. The Blake will take on
board lumber for The erection of tripods along
the shore, from which observations will be
made as the trials progress. The mouth OF
the Patuxent river will be approximately the
centre of the course, with will be north and
sonth from that point The entire course
will be 243 miles long, which will be run both
ways by the boats, which are to make one
hours steaming ia each direction. The speed
of the boats, as per contract, is TO be 244
knots an hour over measured course.
The United States coast survey schooner
Matchless, LIeutenat Tillman commanding,
left Washington on Monday to join the Blake
in the work of measuring the course. Two
assistants from the coasts survey office will
accompany the vessels. 1t is expected the
work will take from three weeks to one
month to complete. Both vessels will re-
main on the ound for the speed trials. Seven
tripods, each about forty feet high, will mark
the shore along the course The course to be
selected will have about seven fathoms Of
water all the way

Objection has come all the way from

growers pack their tobacco 1t is alleged by
the foreign buyers that when they receive
consignment is of Maryland tobacco marked
one grade, and open it they find that grade
on the outside but the inside filed up with q
lower and commoner tobacco
Warehouse No. 3 handles all the Maryland
tobacco and a committee from the Tobacco
Buyers Association has reported there they
will buy Maryland tobacco hereafter only
subject to review. Deputy ms oector l.. Bates
Etchisoh has sent out circular 10 all raisers
in the western counties to that effst.
1t means that when a hogshead of tobacco
is purchased and graded at what its outside
layers indicate it to be and the inside is
found to be packed with common stalks that
only the price usually psii for the common
stalk will be given for the whole lot Most

blow first fell upon our sorrowing hearts
Always bright and cheerful, kind and con-
siderate to the wants of Others, she made
many friends by whom she is sadly missed
She is gone, but not forgotten and while we
cannot bring her back to this world of mise
ry and Of woe, nor would We if we could for
we know our Heavenly Father knows best

10 her to go out no more forever.
May this be our happy lot where our final
end shall come Our dear sister Lula, though
gone from earth, still lives She lives with
Chri,t and the redeemer in the Heaven She
lives in the hearts and the memory Of wide
circle Of friends and loved ones on earth and
her example lives in the town and community
where Shs was so lavorably known; then
