charge of Frank Lambson, engineer,
and William Boylcn, OF tho Cleveland
company. Three Cubars are on board.
They. are Antonio Muzario, Regina
Aguirre and CaliXto Raveni. The vessel
is submarine destroyer. = he outer
shell is of steel and the boat Itself is
operated by steam. 1t has no smoke
stack, as its generating apparatus con
sumes no smoke. 1t can attain a speed
of 2S miles per hour and has shown cvcn
a higher rate of speed in a recent OIL
cial test in Lake Erie. The fires rnder
the boilers are fed with btuminous coal
and crude petroleu"a When beneath
the surface Of the water, the steam is
turned into condenser, or a reservoir
which will hold it until the surface is
reached, when the vapor is allowed to
escape.
Much of this steam returns to water
in the meantime and is properly Sc
cured. The boat is running through the
canal at a uniform rate of ten miles an
hour.
Mr.. Doylcn said that the boat was to
be used for dynamting purposes and to
protect the landing of flibustering ex-
petitions upon the island of Cuba.

South Chicago Youths Indulge in n
New Form of Dissipation.
Capt w. H. Biglow, chief secret Off
Ger for the Illinois Steel company, was
walking in the neighborhood ofNinety-
second street and Buffalo avenue, Chi
cago, the other day. In a vacant lot he
saw a score or more Of boys stretched
out on the grass, apparently in sound
sleep. He did not give the sight sec
ond thought. A few days later he saw
a boy climb lamppost, hold handker-
chief over the gas JET for a moment. and
then slide down with the cloth to his
mouth. The boy then lay down with
his companions.
The captains curiosity became
aroused. lie hid himself behind tree
and watched until he had counted 10
20 through the same motion. Then he
walked over TO where the boys were
and asked questions of those who were
awake.
IVY, amt you on ?" said one Of them.
"Dis is about the jimminest way of
boozin' dat's ever come over de hill.
Doan cos much, cder. Yer see, we

The captain said he wouldn't. but he
will. The boys do not become bolster
Gus, but in few moments after they
have inhaled the poisonous stuff they go
to some grassy spot and lie down and
sleep it off. The boys range in age
from ten to fifteen years. All are Gig
arctic smokers. How far the habit eX-
tends over town is not known, but one
of the victims said to Capt. Biglow that
all of the boys in that part of town were
addicted to the habit.

Commenting editorialIy on the fact,

"The British monarchy to-day has
more definite recognition among the

ago, when the King Of Great Britain
was also the sovereign of Manover.
Such dynastic considerations are per-

HIS iiI-Holarrr Causes Him to Be
Shot at Toledo.
"Owney," the famous canine postal
tramp, is dead at last. lie was officially
executed the other afternoon by order
Of Postmaster Brand, of Toledo, 0.
Soon after it was thought that the
much-trayeled dog had been killed in
Cleveland, an edict went forth order
ing all mail clerks to refuse passage to
the wanderer. "0wney" fell sick about
that time, and was cared for in st.
Louis. lie was thcn started out again,
and came TO Toledo from Frankfort,
Ind, bearing only three medals on his
collar This is evidence that he had
done very little travelling, as he was
usually decorated at each stop with
some sort of Il badge.
'"Owuey" attacked Clerk Blankertz,
inficting painful wounds in his hand.
United States Marshal Shannon was
asked to kiln him, but the dog made
rush for the gentleman and tore his
trousers.
Postmaster Brand, seeing that the
dog had grown so cross that it was
dangerous to harbor him, requested the
chief of police to detail an officer to
kill him, and "Owney" met death within
a few minutes. His skin will be mount
ed at the expense of the Toledo clerks,
and forwarded to Washington for the
to Albany, where his other trophies are
stored.
"Owney" was about II years old, and
his years of travel all over the United
States and around the world have made
him the most noted dog Of his time.
