South End was visited, where a most enjoyable hour was spent in the soft moonlight, after which the homeward drive was fitting finale to an evening long to be remembered by the participants. Miss Snyder is delightful young lady, and her stay here has been one continual round of pleasure.
 MT. John H. Wallace, Jr., of Huntsville, Is in Birmingham.
 The Montgomery Advertiser says: 'It will be gratifying to the friends of General and Mrs. w. c. Oates to learn that their son William has greatly improved and with no back-set he will soon be well and strong again. He is young man of splen-. did physique and that has enabled him to withstand the effects of raging fever for several weeks past. His temperature is about normal again.
 The great improvement in his sons health will enable General Oates to report in short while at Falls Church, Va, near Washington, where the brigade to which he is assigned is located
 New York's fashionable set has a new bow. The smiling, cordial greeting of friends who meet on the street, the face- to-face greeting which has been in vogue for generations, is being discarded. In it's stead the "400' has introduced won derful bow, which is as difficult of execu- tionas it is lacking in cordia.ity: The new bow is strikingly different from the old bow of sautation. It differs in point of direction. The modern girl no longer gaZes frankly into your eyes, inclining her head straight forward with easy grace. Instead she presents a three-quarters bow, upl1fts her head and dips it in the most nonchalant fashion imaginable. The eyes are turned languidly in your direction, the half dropping lids expressive of "I don't care whether I speak not"

tion on the sheathing question. It has voted heretofore to 1 against the sheath ing of the bottom of the battleships, Com- modore Hichborn being the only advocate of the reform. The experience of the fleet in southern waters during the present war, when the battleships and cruisers have steadily lost what speed they started with, as the result of marine growth on their hulls, has convinced the board that, costly as the sheathing is, it will be economical in the long run, since it will enable the ships to retain their speed for an indefinite period,

Displacement Will be Increased
 From 11,OOO to 5000 Tons.
MINIMUM SPEED OF IS KNOTS
Will Be Required Instead of 8 Knots as Was at First Provided For-Addi- tion of Copper Sheathing
 May Also Be Used.

New York, Aug. "A special to the Times from Washington says:
 The question of the proposed three bat tleships provided for by the new naval pro- gram has been reopened today. The propo- sition now under consideration is to give the proposed ships a displacement of 1000 tons instead of Il ,000, and to fix their mini mum speed at eighteen knots instead of sixteen. Chief Engineer Melville has been asked to submit designs of the new and improved machinery, including water tube boilers, which he proposes to install, with a view to developing an eighteen knot speed.
 These designs ready, Chief Constructor Hichborn will set his bureau of construc- ton and repair to work on designs for hull to accommodate the machinery with the requisite coal space and the desired batteries.
 Another Important Change
 A further and a most important change proposed to be made in the new ships is the addition of copper sheatliing. At a meet ing this afternoon the board voted unanl- mously to have the new battleships sheath ed with a view to preventing the fouling of their bottoms and the loss of speed re- suting therefrom.
 This is reversal of the boards proposi-

The Last Of n Boom Town.

What fall was that my country
men! Along in 1882 and 1888 the
town of Ordway, this county, was
one OF the most ambitious within the
realms OF the Dakotas. 1t had an
energetic though small population,
who thought no railroad could be
built which did not pass through
their town and pay tribute to it's
greatness. They reached out for the
capital OF the two Dakotas, and lat
er wanted division on the river and
capital of the eastern part at Ord
way, the geographical center. They
wanted "a university, and even made
excavations and laid the foundations
for one. These things are recalled
from the fact that on yesterday the
Northwestern company closed its
depot at that point. The once proud
and ambitious town. with it's thous-
ands OF sunken capital, put in by
Chicago boomers and others, is now
no more than flag station with a
handful of population. Many of it's
buildings were moved to Aberdeen,
and it's former population is now
scattered from the klondike to the
equator and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. For it's size Ordway cut as
much figure in the commercial world
for a time as any other boom town
that can be mentioned. The mex or
able trend OF the railway systems
and the course of business IN this
country, which its citizens madly en-
deayored to stem, took its life blood

cHINAliEN POOR HUSBANDS.
English Girls In Shanghai Who Wed
Mongoiians Always IEEve
Cause to ReuretI

A Vancouver dispatch gives currency
to certain scandalous stories current
in Shanghai, by which English girls are
represented as having formed the hab-
it Of marrying Chinese. young men at
tached to the legation ia that city.
There might be 10 great harm in the
marriage of Chinese man to q Cau-
casian woman ii the Mongolian could
be educated up 10 The Caucasian matrI-
monial standard. But the complaint
that comes from Shanghai Is that the
Chinese cling with great pcrtinacity
to their Mongolian view of the mar
riage state. If the wife rebelled al this
view OF the marriage relation the Chi
nese husband would lock her up and
when opportunity offered. sell her. An
infusion of English blood in a matri-
monial form does not seem to have
much influence upon the customs of
the country. The English wives. SEN
sitlve as to the shame of the lives they
were forced 10 lead, would make no
complaints 10 relatives in England. In
most cases the marriage had been en-
tered into in spite of the protests of
parents, circumstance which tended
to silence complaints that would other
wise have been made. There is abun-
dant ground fer the conclusion that
the average Chinese does not become
good Christian until the third or
fourth generation.
