draws up what he calls schedules" which are

AN order for certain plates Of the battleship

made for such material:

This order also gives full details to the steel
maker as to lengths. size, shape and quality OF
material to be used. There are about 100 frames
In a battleship.
As soon as the contract has been signed for
the ships construction the shipbuilder OF course
invites estimates for the making of the steel
plates and frames. and aims to secure the de.
livery OF these articles by gradual delivery and
as fast as they are needed. The Government
has also entered into contracts for the construc-
ton OF guns for the vessel and the making of
armor plate. The shipbuilder also begins work
on the engines at once and subjects contracts for
such articles Of the equipment, notably the
electrical appliances. as he does not make him
self. Within from thirty to forty days after the
contract is signed work on the ship Is in full
swing In a dozen different places in the country.
Later all that work will be concentrated in the
Shipyard.
THE OUTDOOR WORK ON THE HIP.
AS In the construction of any vessel, the first
work done out of doors Is to put down the keel
blocks from which the vessel Is to be launched d.
The next thing is the construction of the keel,
which 10 laid down along the blocks. BY this
time the frames and plates have begun to arrive

rolling mills which supply tho steel for our

kind of work, and the only TWO armor-making
establishments in the country are also in
that State. 1t Is thirty-hve years now
since the first sea-golng battleship was
constructed in this country. She was
the New Ironsides and was constructed at the
Cramp yard in Philadelphia. Oak timbers were
used In the frames OF that ship, and they were
cut within twenty-five miles OF Philadelphia.
So great has been the advance in ship construc-
ton. however. that little wood 10 used in mod.
ern battleships. steel having taken its place;
but, nevertheless, Pennsylvania continues to
furnish most OF the frames and braces that enter
into the battleships of to-day. Even if white
oak were used in these days in modern battle,
ships, it would be very difficult to get It. the
supply on the seaboard having been exhausted
many years ago.
Before the plates and frames reach the ship

used and exactly the position each is to occupy
In the ship. In round numbers. vessels of the
Indiana class have about 10000 square feet of

come in long strips from the rolling mills. about
20 by 4 feet in dimensions. They are bent and

Considering that worry and men

$3.50 REWARD.
The Haggard Specific Comply:

Will give three boxes of their Specific
Tablets, worth $3.50, to anyone who may
have used as much as one box of their
tablets without decided benefit. We
have never heard of single case where
the tablets have failed to give satisfactory
results. and if there is person to be
found who has used them without bene-
fit we want to know who he is and where
to find him. They never fail to cure
kidney and bladder troubles and affec-
tons of the genital organs and overcome
all debility and weakness in both men
and women. They improve the appetite,
aid digestion and assimilation and over
come constipation. They have vital eff
feet on all of the secTetory organs and es-
tablish a healthy condition of the mu-
cous and gland secretions in every part
of the body; overcome all torpid condi-
tons of the capillaries and secure per-
feet circulation of the blood, so that ev-
cry organ is supplied and every function
issnormal and healthy. Being the only
remedy ever compounded that fully
meets the logical physiological conditions
of the human system, it is no wonder
that they give results unknown to medi-
cal science. No matter if the doctors
and all remedies have failed, try the
Tablets and be convinced that they are
superior to all known remedies. Their
effect on the nerve centers is complete
surprise to physicians who have used
them. Cases that have baffled the skill
of best physicians and no remedies seem
ed to benefit have been promptly con-
troled and permanently cured by the
Tablets. Cases where injections of
morphine have been resorted to as the
only means of even temporary relief have
been promptly controlled by the Tab let's
and the trouble completely overcome by
their use. Price: one box 81 90, three
boxes $3.50. This wonderful remedy is
on sale by Sale Davis Drng Co., Dawson,

THOUSANDS ON A STRIKE,
NEW SCALE IN THE MILLS GOFS

AT New Bedford Ten Thousand Operatives

Biggest Mills Are Forced to
Close.

a press dispatch from Boston, Mass.
says the $4,000 or more skilled opera-
tlves employed in about seventy of the
chief cotton mills of New England
states come under the sweeping
order of new wage scale, which en-
tails reduction of 10 per cent. or
more. This reduction brings on in
New Bedford, Lewiston and Biddeford,
Maine, labor strikes which NAV prove
the beginning of an industrial battle
greater in extent and more disastrous
in effect than any IN the previous his
tory of cotton manufacturing in the
United States.
The battle against the corporations
undoubtedly would have been fought
everywhere had not the voice of the
men and women who are i'll prepared
at this time of the year to go into idle
ness been needed by the conservatives.
As it is the great majority of per-
sons employed in nine corporations in
New Bedford and one corporation each
in two Maine cities will take upon
themselves the task of forcible resist .
ance to the reduction.
In New Bedford the nine corpora
tions represent % mills, with over
10000 spindles, or q 900 looms, Civ
ing means of livelihood to nearly ten
thousand.
The strikes will be directed by the
labor union, the national executive
committee of which has sanctioned the
strike of opposition and promised f.

distinction of being the leading grocer

himself which bears repeating
1t happened when he was new in the

representing an eastern firm, called On
him. The grocer said he didn't need
anything in his line. That was the nat.

he:

Rich mineral deposits are found in
