and designs for the large number OF
war vessels authorized by the last ma
val appropriation bill. The plans for
the four monitors have so far advanced
that circular will be issued shortly
asking bidders to submit proposals.
Among the bidders will be the New
port News Shipbuildtng and Dry Dock
COMPANY. and it would not be surprs-
| ing If all four of the fighting machines
are constructed here.
Next to the small torpedo boats and
destroyers. the monitors can be more
speedily constructed than any other
type. and IN actual battle are counted
by Chief Constructor Hichborn to be
the most formidable ships for their dis
placement in the world.
Considering the enormous battery
power of these ships, coupled with their
heavy armor. light draught. and small
ing vessels of any type built for the
navy. and, as they have not so
many complex parts as battelships and
fast cruisers, they can be built much
more quickly.
The plans for the four monitors are
now well along, and provide for the
most formidable vessels of their dis
placement afloat. On account OF the
limit of cost fixed by the bill the new
fighters will have only one turret. plac-
cd forward, but they will be provided
with a number Of 4-inch rapid fire guns
and an effective secondary battery of
Founders and machine guns
The displacement OF each monitor
will not exceed $500 tons on a draught
OF not more than IL feet mean. which
will admit Of any of these vessels enter
ing the shallowest channels of the
! larger cities along the seaboard. Wa
ter-tube boilers, generating combined
| horsepower Of $500 are expected to
give the monitors a speed Of u knots
under high pressure, and perhaps a
knot better when under forced draught.
Twin screws and fighting top, with a
belt of IL inches of Harvey armor
around the sides, covering q free board
of 20 inches, will be other features of
the ships.
Two 1O-inch rifled guns will constitute
| their main battery, mounted in the sin
gle turret. protected by the best armor
of twelve inch thickness. The cost Of
each ship is not to exceed $1.20000O. ex-
elusive of armament. When in COM
! mission they will not be unlike the old
single-turret monitors recently assigned
| to the duty of protecting Portland, Bos-
| ton and New York. The Puritan cost
twice as much as the amount allowed
for one Of the proposed craft, has
double the amount Of metal throwing
capacity. higher speed, and thicker
armor, but she cannot enter harbors
where the new ships will be able to
navigate on account Of greater draught.

OF singing, Scripture reaping and prayer,

The shame OF existing evils must ever

election. Queen Victoria ruled the
proudest throne in the world, but here
woman without title could not so much
as cast her simple expression OF opinion.
Mrs Dew ing carefully traced the ad-

had been enlarged. Yet in hardly any
instance had her illegal standard been
changed.
Womsn is SO conservative that her
rights have not been quickly acquired.
When the right TO vote Is given to woman
the results viii be such that IL will be
wondered how the right could over have

She thought that MS IL was acknowledged

certainly ought TO nave something to FAY

Rev. r. Dewitt Talmage, the most re-

When such a ma1 recognized leader

written testimonial that DIR. .Greene's Nerv-
ura blood and nerve remedy has helped
him and that he recommends its use for
invigoration after over-work, to restore
the strength, energy, nerve force and
vitality of the system, when for any
reason they are lost, weakened or i'm
paired, those who are sick and suffering,
who are weak, nervous, without strength,
energy and ambition, who are discouraged
and disheartened by repeated failures TO be
cured, in fact all who have need of a
strength-giving and health restoring med
icine, can take renewed hope from the
words of this great preacher, that DIR.
Greene's Nervura is the one remedy
among all others to give them back the
health and strength they have lost.
