A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Dreams of the Past Become Real
Facts Of the Present.
The Holland Torpedo Boat just
Launched ut Elizabeth, N. j., Like
ly to Revolutionize Warfare
Several Nations After Her.

The Holland submarine torpedo boat
has just been launched at the Cres-
cent ship yards in Elizabeth, NJ j. The
inventor of the boat, John P. Holland,
has closely watched the construction of
the vessel. The vessel was christened
1.-THE Holland" by Mrs. Nixon, wife of
Lieut.. Lewis Nixon, the constructor.
There were few persons at the launch
ing. Inventor Holland says there will
be no attempt at submarine evolu-
tons for several weeks. The construc-
ton of the boat has been eagerly
watched all over the country. The
boat is cylindrical in shape, is so feet
8 inches long, with 4-foot screw pro-
tecting extension. The diameter is 10
feet inches amidship, and the mold
ed diameter is the same. The boat can
travel under water eight knots an hour
for eight hours, and ten knots an hour
on the surface. The power comes from
gasoline engine and a dynamo, the
former to be used when the boat is
sailing along the surface, and the latter
when she is submerged. 1t will take
less than a minute to submerge the
boat, and about the same length of time
for her to rise to the surface. The arma-
ment consists of three torpedo tubes
which will discharge high explosives.
Six men will constitute the crew.
Mr.. Holland was asked by the United
States, British and Spanish govern
ments to allow representative on
board during the trial trip of the boat,
but he refused the request. After a
trial trip he says he will allow an en-
gineer from each government to see
the workings of the boat, which it is
believed will revolutionize warfare. Sew
eral foreign nations have bid for the
vessel, but it is likely that Mr.. Holland
will sell her to the United States.

PHOTOGRAPH ON A WINDOW.
Kankakeenns Agitated by n Picture
Limned by an Unknown Artist.


At certain hours of the day, especial
ly at nine o'clock in the morning or
just before shutdown, the exact repro.
duction of nude woman upon pane
of glass in an unpretentious dwelling
of Kankakee, ILL.,, is plainly visible.
How it came there is a question scien-
lists may be able to answer. AS the
woman bears close resemblance to
former occupant of the dwelling
neighbors and numerous other Kanka-
keeans who have become much interest
cd in the phenomenon have an eyplana-
ton of their own They believe it to be
photograph taken by a flash of light
ming.
1t is thought that some time, prob
ably during storm, a woman in state.
of nature had become frightened, came
from her sleeping-room to draw the
blinds and flash of lightning photo
graphed her form upon the glass.
The picture was discovered a week
ego when a young man sitting in a
house nearly opposite observed what
he thought was the reflection on the
window pane of q woman bathing In
the house in question. Surprising that
mirror reflected the form through the
door of an adjoining room he called to
his sister, and, pointing out the singu-
lar sight, requested her to. run across
the street and tell the woman to pull
down the blinds. The young woman ran
across the street, raped upon the door
and was surprised to see the only wom-
an in the house appear, fully dressed.
Being informed of the figure in the
window the woman was surprised and
said no one had taken bath that day.
An investigation followed. Sure
enough, there in the glass was the fig
ure of q naked woman and it could
not be washed out. Soon it began to
be talked about by the nearest neigh
bors and now it is the talk of the town.
An offer of $25 has been made for the
glass by local curiosity collector

FINDS A MAN UNDER THE BED

Woman Beats Him with n Stick-Then
Turns Him Over to the Police.
One woman has been found who does
not scream at the sight of man under
her bed. Mrs. Rosa Meyer, of No. 12s
First avenue, New York, returned from
a visit the other afternoon, looked un-
der the bed for the always expected
man and found him. She quietly locked
the door and told him to come out and
be .thrashed. He declined, and, secur.
ing stick, she beat him until, bowling
with pain, he crawled out. Then she
caught hold of him and let him have a
few right hand jabs in the face. He
broke away from her, unlocked the
door and dashed downstairs, Mrs
Meyer then tucked up her skirts and
went after her man, determined that
after looking for him for many years
he shouldn't get away. She chased him
two blocks, caught him, and turned him
over to policeman. ..,.

"Dallas 7, San Antonio l." When
this bulletin was posted last night 1t
wouldn't have been a very wise move
TO propose three cheers for the Bron-
chos. The response wouldn't have
been a very hearty one, and there
would have been reason to suspect that
another funnyman had just come TO
town The rooters crowded around
the bulletin boards last night eager to
learn if the Bronchos had lost their
hoodoo yet, but when the heart-rend-
ing news became known they slowly
walked away as If a fatal blow mad
struck a near relative.
Mike O'Connor will have big job on
hand when he gets home. Explana-
tions will be demanded of him from
every source, and the best way he can
get out of it without saying word is
to buckle right down to work and win
the next nine games at home. Every
thing will then be forgiven.
Tom Hayes is evidently SUFFERING
from a bad case of rattles. When he
once goes in the air it is hard for him
so fallen off in his throwing to bases.
Yesterday four bases were stolen on
the Bronchos, and this of late has been
a common occurrence. This, however,
is nothing to lose heart over, as 1t Is
undoubtedly only temporary.
The cranks are in a bad frame OF
mind mad nothing but victory will put
them in a good mood again. Just
think of it. We left home May 10
with a good lead and won our first
game abroad, giving us lead with
7O9 per cent, Galveston being second
with 600. Since then we have dropped
to 609. But Galveston has also drop
ped, while Fort Worth went up, and is
now snugly occupying the place we
have proudly called our own since May
49,
While all this is true, let us compare
the achievements of the four Southern
clubs on this trip, and we will find that
San Antonio won four Of eleven games
played so far, Galveston won four OF
that number, Houston won five and
Austin won five and played sixteen
inning tie game yesterday. BY that
the Senators have made the best rec
ord on the trip.
The Bronchos will be home tomorrow
morning. A surprise is in store for
them upon their arrival. The Bron-
chos have proven themselves to be the
best baseball team that San Antonio
has ever had and the rooters are proud
of them. We have the bes uniform
ed team in the state and the equipment
is complete with but one single excep-
ton. OF late years ball players
through experience have learned that
if they intend to draw salaries on the
diamond they must protect their arms,
which is one of the chief adjuncts in a
ballplayers' mechanism. Heavy WOOL
en- sweaters answer the best purpose
for such protection. AS some of the
boys have sweaters and some not, the
rooters have decided to fit them out
with a set. The sweaters are now on
exhibition in Arnold's show window on
West Commerce street and the pres
entation will be made at San Pedro
park tomorrow. The sweaters are
white and heavy wool and will set off
the gray suits nicely.
