A Huge Experiment.,

simply be huge experiment. 1t has
generally been overlooked that modern
fighting machines have practically never
been tried. No one can say how they
will! work. The ships and guns we look
upon as sources of strength may prove
only weakness and disaster. But one
battle that of the Yaru river, has been
fought with modern ships. Terrible dis
aster was wrought on the Chinese battle
ship. The noise alone split the ear
drums of every man on board. The
shocks of the explosions left the vessel

that these ships will be rendered useless

HORRIBLE.

Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly
Love- but there is Society there. And
Philadelphia Society is "all torn up"
1t appears that "lovely and accom-
plished" woman of that town recently
showed her ability and skill by landing
count in her matrimonial net. Then
she further showed her ability and skill
by deciding to go into the millinery
business. She is described as lone of
the bluest blooded bellies of Philadel-
phia's most exclusive social circles,
and the impressive statement is added
that "her friends are simply Mortified
to learn that she has decided to leave
her proper sphere and embark in
| trade"
| Wherever there is Society there will
of course be thrill sympathetic with
the thrill that is agitating Society in
Philadelphia. 1t is terrible thing for
| a countess to work, and it is still more
| terrible for count to work. We do
hope that whatever else happens in
this case the count will not work.
There should be at least one in the
family who will properly stand for
FLOODED honor and dignity.
