There are FIVE boats under construc-
ton between Gallipolis and Marietta
at the present time. They are the
CITY of Pittsburg, Avalon, Greenwood,
Valley Belle and Sun. The upper
Ohio will be full of boats this fall.
Cant. Jas. A. Anderson of Pittsburg,
says the Hudson will be put into COM
mission as soon as the river rises,
which will make four boats in the
Pittsburg line. TIL Bay 1t is reported
will make some changes in their line
the coming season.-Pomeroy Tele-
graph.
A correspondent of the Marine Jour-
nal writing about old time boats on
this end of the Ohio river, says:
Away back in the forties, the cream
colored Condor, owned by V B. Hor-
| ton, made semi-occasional trips be-
tween Cincinnati and the future city
Of Pomeroy, but the first regular pack
ct making weekly trips in that trade
was the little steamer Etna. She was
about eighty feet in length and sixteen
feet beam and would carry about as
much freight as now could be stored
away in the 'calaboose' Of the big
steamers of today. The pilot house
was on the boiler deck, forward of the
cabin, and on the side of it was a
locker where the steward sold drinks
out OF a big green bottle for five cents
horn, and her cabin could room her
crew and about ten passengers. The
next boat in the trade was the Lady
Byron. She was larger and of course
got more to do, but in order to make
it pay had to peddle salt and flour
along the river. In 1S49 Captain Newt
Robinson, Portsmouth man, put the
then great double engine steamer
North America in to make two trips
Pittsburg packets were then in their
glory, and the Gray Eagle took her
place for few months. Later Capt.
Jim Rice and several shippers in the
Pomeroy Bend put the ST. James in
the trade, but she was soon crawded
out by the first Telegraph, Fleetwood,
Wild Wagner and Captain Ragg's
Ohio. The Boston built by Captain
Asa Barringer and others, was also in
the trade until she was destroyed by
fire near Portsmouth. Since that time
the new Fleetwood, Ohio No. 4, Tele-
graph, Morning Mail, Wildwood, Bos-
tona, st. Lawrence, Potomac, c. P.
Big Sandy, Congo, new
Sherley, Bonanza, Sunshine, New
South, F. Nisbet, Lizzie Bay and
others have been running between
Cincinnati and Pomeroy."

There never was a war that could
force the summer girl into the back

with the careening cruisers, the bull
dog battleship. the shrieking shells

like man rides like a man, runs like

all she is the same old girl, ready to

KRUPP ARMoR AT INDIAN HEAD.

! t>1sSA L <hteshOiN "a l4ND1aN
1t would be strange if, after having
for years led the world in he manu-
facture of ship plates beating all rec
ords of Amager or Ochta, Portsmouth
or Spezzia, and seing our Harvey pro-
cess adopted alike for English and
| Russian batleships, we should now
voluntarily renounce our title to su-
perlority and confess that our past
methods have elsewhere been ouIdone.
And yet just this attitude seems in
prospect for US, after the revelations
OF the trials at Indian Head during the
past week. The six-inch Krupp plate
made by the Carnegie company and
attacked by six-inch projectiles, with
successive striking velocities of 2,O2l.
2,237 and 1850 feet per second, and
then by an eight-inch projectile, with
velocity of 1884 feet, showed not a
single crack as a result of any of the
hring. Standard Carpenter shells
were used. The first went less than
half way through the plate and there
was broken up; the second, also, could
not get its point through portions of
the third, under the highest velocity
used, 1850 feet, succeeded in passing
through the plate, but remained, it
would appear, in the u feet of oak
backing, which was covered by thin
steel plate behind it. The big eight
inch armor-piercing projectile of
course went clear through both plate
and backing, but the plate was still
not cracked, and it was perfectly good
as a defense. save fer the clean-cu
cylindrical holes =,
Th high hopes entertained of the
Krupp process seem likely therefore,
to be fulfilled. In Europe it has ac-
hieved triumphs, and in arranging to
use II here our American armor max
ers have. kept up with the front ranks
OF progress, as they have always done.
OF course, the conclusion to adopt this
method Of manufacture will not be
definitely reached by the Government
until after successful trial OF plate
twice as thick as the one just tested.
Such plate however, is to be tried
before long. Whatever the advances
made in ship armor, the best that can
be made will be supplied for our ships.

WANTS A NEW HIGH SCHOOL.

To Editor of Leader
The very important matter of a new
High School building does not receive
the attention it deserves. It is the one
Improvement the city needs above all
others. The health of teachers and
studnets and the prosperity of the city
demand it. The old building is mad
equate in room, its vntilating and
heating qualities, and the great num-
ber OF steps to climb are a menace to
the health of those who overcrowd it.
The city cannot afford TO neglect this
matter. Parents whose children have
kept we'll until their entrance to the
High School do not like to face the
probability that their health will be
ruined by neglect Of the city to pro-
vide healthy place for the last four
years OF the course of study. H.
The theories of Henry George have
developed band of the most per-
suasive orators now living, but in my
judgment John Crosby is the great
est of them all in the power to please
ard stir vast audiences of men ard
women, He has power similar 10
that possessed by William ]. Bryan,
and in some regards is his superior.
hlr. Crosby looks the ideal Judge. His
white hair his smiling, handsome face
his dignity of manner, his Marvellous
voice, add grace and unwearying
charm to his direct and moving words.
The Committee chose him to present
the final address over Henry Georges
body because they knew his great
glfts.-Hamlin Garland
