celebration of ST. Johns Day in Clerks

parade was a grand one, and lodges Oh
Grafton, Buckhannon, Philippi, weston
Fairmont Salem, Bridgeport, Shinnston
and other places were well represented.
AT the opera house the exercises were 10
commence at 1880, but owing 10 the fact
that neither Governor Atkinson, Judge
Tavenner nor Col. Hugh Sterling, who
had been booked for speeches, made their
appearance, they were not commenced I'M
til half-past eight, when they were opened
with prayer by Rev. Doyle, of the Central
PRESBYTERIAN Church. Then followed the
address of Hon. O. S. Long, Lieutenant
Grand Commander Supreme Council (SS),
and Grand Secretary Royal Arch Chapter
which was masterful and scholarly effort
in which was portrayed the merits and
history of Free Masonry, both in this
country and in England in a manner nigh
" entertaining to his auditors, who APP
preciated it. and were composed OF the
best people of the city. The Register cor
respondent is indebted to a gentleman for

in relation to the celebration Of st. John
Day in this city, appearing in Friday $

could not have been given. and some have
jntimatod that the various papers did not
give sufficient space to this celebration. y
number Of the representatives, OF papers
complain that proper reportorial and press
courtesies were not shown them. and that
no better report could be expected under
the circumstances. when information was
so hard to obtain. This is one thing IN

The United States Is Experimenting with Three
Modes of Submarine Warfare.
IMPORTANT TESTS NOW AT SAG HARB
Very Possible That There May Be Fighting in the Air
and Under Sea, But Not on Surface.
TORPEDOES TO RUN ON REGULAR TROLLEY LINES

torpedoes are sent back and forth by a
trolley system. The scheme is cheap, if
it will work. The stretching of the
wire is not expensive, and the trolley
arrangement, which is supposed tc keep
the t0rpedoes running, can be made
cheaply. The torpedoes are supposed
10 be of the automobile type, their pro-
pulsion being furnished by compressed
air engines, and the wire aid the troll
leys are only guides Suppose ship
on hCstilities bent were coming IN
through the Narrows after running the
batteries at the Hook and standing the
fire of Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton
1t would seem that one Of the torpedoes
flying swiftly across the narrow chan
mel would strike her and blow her out
of the water.
The only trouble is that the explosion
of the torDedo would destroy the trolley
system by breaking the wire. One ship
with her crew might be annihilated but
the other ships would get through.

But suppose the whole harbOr were sown
with submarine mines, a fleet OF sub
marine boats cruising about of the
lightships. and the trolley system run
ming across the Narrows. Something
under water would give the invading
fleet run for their money
As the nations of the world are look
ing TO airships and "drigible balloons
to play part in warfare on land so are
they looking for the decision of future
naval battles TO be by the Use OF sub
marine appliances. In nineteen hun
dred and something battles may be
fought in the clouds and under the sea,
while the surface Of the ocean and the
fields of the land reposing in peace,
The one carrying its merchant fleets

TORPEDOES DISCHARGED UNDER
WATER.
If as it is belived. Mr.. Holland has
built not only a successful submarine
boat, but has solved that other problem
that for a long time has been worrying
naval experts-the successful firing Of
torpedoes under water-he has indeed
accomplished wonders in the line Of
submarine warfare. The original de-
sign of q torpedo to be used from a
ship was that ii should be discharged
under water. as it is essentially sub
marine agent of destruction. This was
found to be impracticable, and or all
the ships of the United States Navy and
on nearly all of those of England, if not
on ALL the tOrpedoes are shot out OF
tubes above water. In some of the
latest ships which England has built
underwater torpedo tubes have been
put in. and the English say they have
discovered the secret Of how to fire
a torpedo out of a submarine tube. In
the Holland torpedo boat there are two
tubes for the discharge of torpedOes,
and both work under water Just by
what means Mr.. Holland has done this
is not known, and Will not be known
until the boat at the Crescent shipyard
At Elizabethport has been tested thor
oughly.
So far submarine warfare has been
failure, but it seems as if new era was
approaching. The recent experiments
with torpedo boats at Newport show
that it IS possible for a vessel Of that
class to "sneak" into harbor and get
within striking distance of man-of-
war. even when the man-of-War eX-
pec,s the attack The United States
has in its navy some of the most expert
torpedo "sharps" in the world. Nota-
bic among them is Lieut. Cameron
WinSlow, whose father was captain OF
the Hearsarge when she fought the Al
ALBANIA OF that memorable Sunday
morning OF the harbor OF Cherbourg.

Sag Harbor, June 26.-In the develop

been reached when these accessories
of marine combats are about to be pro-

every day over in MIR. Bliss shop in
Brooklyn the government is building
these torpedoes, and Sag Harbor has
proving ground where each torpedo
is tested before it is accepted.
The United States government is ex-
perimeuting with three systems of sub

marine mine, the torpedo and the sub

The submarine mine, upon which

THE PRISONER OF ZENDA.


Daniel Frohman, the genial New
York Lyceum manager, has a treat in
store for lovers of high-class attrac-
tlons in that on next Thursday night
he will present at the Grand Opera
House his latest success, "The Prisoner
of Zenda." on the same plane of per-
lection as he did at the Lyceum. The
engagement promises to be the leading
theatrical event of the season. The
Lyceum has produced more of the high
grade of plays than any theatre in this
country. numbering among them THE
Charity Ball, THE Wife, b" Sweet Law
ender," Lord Chumley," etc, all gems
OF dramtic construction. THE Prisoner
of Zenda," however, has proved the
most remarkable of all his successes. 1t
had its origin in the fanciful. romantic
story written by Anthony Hope, and
approved by all classes of theatre-goers
alike. The company was selected with
much care from among the Lyceum
players, who were members of the
origina. Lyceum cast.
