1t was Phoebe Cousins who voiced

MONARCH OF THE SEAS.
The New Iowa Is the Ablest BattIeship
AnOaf.

The New Iowa Is the Ablest Battleship
A1oat.
The battleship Iowa, which recently
made a record Of II knots an hour on q
speed test, is a veritable monarch Of
the seas. There is no warship afloat
which she could not meet on the high
seas in single combat and on equal
terms. While she is not nearly so speedy
as some Of our cruisers and has not the
big guns of the Indiana or Massachu-
setts she has an armament beside which
that Of the former is like toy pistol to
a cannon, and she would be as steady
as house in seas which would bury
the gun decks Of the latter. The vessels
of the Indiana class are intended for
coast Defense while the Iowa is able to
steam out into midocean and engage
anything that comes along.
The Iowa is $50 feet long and of 70
feet beam. Every time she forces herself
one length ahead she displaces II, 40
tons Of water. OF her total weight,
5000 tons is devoted to her armor,
which ranges in thickness from az
inches to 10 inches. Besides her four

torpedo tubes the Iowa's principal arm
ament consists Of four ~ inch guns
mounted in, two barbette turrets, one
forward and the other aft. These tur-
rets have ponderous walls Of haryeyized
steel 10 inches thick, behind which the
gunners are safe from almost any shot
that can be hurled at them. On the
sides of the ship are four smaller tur.
rets each of which contains two inch
rifled guns, which discharge $50 pound
missiles that will pierce eight inches of
steel at distance of two miles.
In addition to these big guns there
are six rapid fire guns, which discharge
83 pound shells with such rapidity that
five of them can be kept in the air at
the same time Then in the Iowa s fighG-
ing tops are more rapid fire guns Of
smaller caliber, so that she could go in

The whole place, in fact, is redolent of

After the death of Jefferson it was
found that he had left many debts, and
so Monticello had to be sold The es-
tate passed out Of the hands of the JEFF
fercon family entirely, but soon after
it was purchased by Commodore UriGh
p. Levy, an officer in the United States
navy and an ardent admirer of Jeffer-
son. The present owner Of Monticello
is nephew of the old commodore,
Jefferson M. Levy, a wealthy New
Yorker, who is very proud Of his ances-
tors record and is very fond of Mom
cello The house and grounds are kept
in perfect order and repair, and it is
comparatively easy for visitors to OBJ
tain permission to visit the old man
sion if they apply TO the owner. Mr.
Levy has been asked TO sell Monticello
before, but has always refused and IS
now reported to be as firm IN his deter
mination rs ever.

the public that Miss Cousins desertion

some may decide that Phoebe Cousins

perience and that her final conclusion
in regard to woman and the ballot is

in the Chenango valley. The act au-
thorizing its erection was passed by the
state legislature in 1894, an appropria-
ton Of $40, 900 for the purpose was
made year later, and the building is
now practically finished. 1t will accom-

but four more buildings just like the

Here the dependent old soldier may re-
tire with his aged wife, and instead of
the old couple being separated, one GO

poorhouse, they can pass their declining
years together. Mothers and widows of
veterans and army nurses are to be re-
ceived here also.
Mrs. Ellen NJ. Putnam Of Buffalo,
who has been chosen superintendent of
the home, has been connected with the
enterprise ever since its inception. She
has been an active member of the Wom-
ans Relief corps ever since that order
was organized, and when, in 1894, the
first board Of managers was appointed
for the home Mrs. Putnam was one of
the number. There were six women and
three men on the board, and Mrs. Put
nam was chosen president. She display.

thusiasm in the manner of discharging
her duties that her fellow managers in

tendent. Mrs. Putnam was born in Buff
falo and has taught school there for 34
years, being at the present time depart

MONTICELLO.
Mr.. Bryan's Plan to Buy the Home of
Thomas Jefferson.

Mr.. Bryan's Plan to Buy the Home of
Thomas jefferson.
The proposition that the United States
shall purchase Monticello and make a
national reservation Of it, which Will
liam j. Bryan is urging with so much
energy and enthusiasm, revives interest
in the noble old Virginian estate which
was the home Of the first Democratic
president and Trainer Of the constitu-
tion, Thomas jefferson. Mr.. Bryan de.
sires either an appropriation by con.
gress to purchase the property or else a
popular subscription by Democrats.
Monticello represents more than the
mere place where great man lived for
few years. 1t was Jcfferson's home in
the deepest sense of the word. He made
Monticello what it is today, and he was
even responsible for the appearance Of
the landscape about it, for he spent
four years in terracing the mountain on
which it stands. The old mansion was
built after plans drawn by jefferson
himself and under his personal super
vision. The arrangement of each Of the
27 big rooms was according to his de-
signs, and even the weather vane which
