THE RELATIVE VALUE OF VARI-
 OuS TYPES OF MARSHES.

The first development of importance was the great inadequacy of the moni- tor type to the service attempted. These ships had no quality whatever in their favor under such conditions; their coal supply was very limited, their speed was low Gas 1t must always be in such type), they were hells of suffer- ing to their crews, which bore their dis comforts most heroically, and above all their rapid period of oscillation made them such poor gun platforms, that ac
 curate shooting from them, unless the water was perfectly smooth, was im- possible. I have no hesitancy in say ing that our experience condemned them unqualifiedly for general service: it is a type for smooth harbor use only. The good estimate of the large armored cruiser and battle-ship, on the other hand became quickly accentuatei, ships of the New York and Brooklyn type with their heavy gun-tire, high speed great radius of action and very fair armor- protection, have shown themselves to be a primal necessity of a well-organized naval force. The New York, for instance, could easily keep the sea month without coaling; could spring at any time to thirteen or four
 teen knots, and in short time, to sev- enteen or eighteen; was equal to meet ing, on fair terms, anything short of a heavily armored battle-ship and devel- oped altogether general utility which speaks in strongest terms for her type.
 The battle-ships are misplaced on an ordinary blockade such as that off Ha- vana, but had to be so used, owing to our paucity of material. It was using a sledge- hammer to crack a nut-but their value shone, with brightest luster, at once when the blockade of the ene- my's fleet at Santiago was established Though ships of the New York class were quite the equal of the Vizcaya, and, under the conditions of her par tial disarmament, of the Christobal Co., lon she did not have her two ten-inch | turret guns), the battle- ships were those which enabled the searchlight to illuminate the harbor entrance so that, as Admiral Cervera himself said, it made it impossible for him to leave at n'ght-Captain F.

OPENING OF THE DAVENPORT.
John Q. Mero's Fine New Hotel Visited
 by Hundreds Last Night.

John Q. Mero's Fine New Hotel Visited
 by Hundreds Last Night.
 The new Davenport hotel, at the cor ner of Orange and Court streets, was opened last night under most auspic- ious circumstances, and the proprietor, John O. Nero, was the recipient of congratulations from the hundreds who called during the evening and were favorably impressed with the appoint ments of this, one of the finest fitted hotels in the state. All during the evening the hotel, cafe, dining rooms and corridors were filled with throngs of visitors. Not only is the first floor beautifully and conveniently fitted up with all that modern decorating skill has devised but the same standard of furnishing prevails throughout the en- tire house.
 On the first floor are the dining rooms, office, reading room and cafe. The floor is laid in Mosaics and the wainscotting- is of marble. The cell ing is one of those new metal ceilings of artistic design and the electric lights are arranged thereon with most pleasing effect The dining room is fitted with plate glass and the tables and chairs are of mahogany and uphol- stered in dark blue as are also those in the office. About 200 guests can be seated at one table. In the reading room are comfortable chairs with writ ing tables well supplied with station ary and writing materials. There arc also in the room all standard current I eriodicals. The furnishings are of mahogany The office is fitted with annunciators, time calls and key racks of the latest models, cloak room, letter Lex and long distance and local tele- phone booth.
 The same handsome style of fitting prevails in the rooms on all the upper floors. Heavy carpets render footballs noiseless and the furniture is hand some and comfortable. Lace curtains and double shades drape the windows. All the chamber suits are of mahog- any and curly birch. A chef of long hotel experience is in charge of the cuisine and the table will be one of the best in Connecticut. The hotel will be conducted on both the American and the European plan.

TRAINED ANIMALS.

The training of beasts and birds to the performance of useful services is so far as can be achieved without undue severity, perfectly legitimate and in keeping with the traditions of all creeds. Nor it it within the province of the reasonable critic to carp at the training of retrieyers, of falcons or of fishing cormorants. Trick horses and dogs, cats and elephants are for this reason the least objectionable items in the bill on such occasions. These ami mals are retainers of men, and further experimenting with their intelligence
 which is so active as to call for the ex- ercise of no cruelty, may be productive of valuable results. But monkeys, li- ons and kangaroos are not here for ouI own use, and as to the spectacle of a bear drinking ale from a bottle. few sights can be less attractive to the we'll balanced mind. The fact that thou

sands are to be found who laugh till their sides ache at the picture of poor beast degraded to the antics of his keepers is not so much a compliment to the enlightenment of the race as unfor- tunately, a guarantee that these shows will endure, So long as the public de- mands sensations, the lion kings and lion queens will be at hand-sman blame to them-to feed the craving. For herein lies the trouble.
 It is useless for either individuals or societies, however excellent their in- tentions, to undertake extended espion- age of system so widespread as that or cruelty to performing animals. The k. s. F. c. A. has already failed in pub- lic-spirited attempts on behalf of caged lions and bears, and in the particular ly grievous case of tame sea-gull. The only hope lies in the chance of Lord Herschelps forthcoming bill, eX- tending the Jurisdiction of the magis- trates to wild beasts and birds in me- nageries or other confinement. But the effacement of this stain on nine- teenth-eentury civilization rests wholly with the public itself. It is a grave re- sponsibllity, but should not on that ac- count be shirked. If the masses refuse their shillings, the system will die a natural death. To carp at the iniquity of the few who hunt the carted deer, while it gladly witnesses the persecu- tion of drugged lions and cowed bears, is hypocrisy unworthy the nations | clearer judgment. Let no one believe that these exhibitions are creditable exposition of the victory of mind over | matter. So ingenious prevarlcation takes no account of that element of cruelty which, though many may with me hesitate to define, few will be found honestly to discredit. For the animal l psychologist such exhibitions cannot have the slightest value without access to the earlier stages of the gradual ed- ucation of the raw material, freedom precluded by professional jealousy of | methods best perhaps kept secret. I understand that Sir John Lubbock has tanned wasp This, if it be the case, is a more striking example of the actu- al subjugation by kindness of a crea- ture not overburdened with intellect than all the antics of all the monkeys that ever rode bareback in Christmas 1 circus.-F.

THE ELEPHANT GREAT IN CRIME

Few more impressive condolences can be imparted than one in which a Him doc describes how he knows his ele- phant intends to destroy him. It is all so seemingly trivial, and yet in reality of such deadly significance. His story is so full of details that prove the mans profound understanding of what he is talking about that one remains equally amazed at the brute's power to dissem- ble and it's intended victims insight into the would-be murderer's character. And yet, from the psychological stand point, an elephant never gives any oth- CT such indication of mental power as is exhibited in it's revenge. That pa- tient, watchful, implacable hatred, of ten provoked simply because a man is in attendance upon another animal (for it is the rule with tuskers to detest their next neighbors), speaks more conclusively of high intellectual guide than all stories, true or false, of con- centration and fixedness of purpose that have been told of their ability. Such concentration and fixedness of purpose, such careful unrelaxed vigil lance, such perfect and consistent pre- tence. and, when the time comes. such desperate, unhesitating energy as hom- icidal animals exhibit. are impossible without very consider able, although in this instance very irregular, devel- opment
 No one can deny that if this creature is great at all it's greatness shows itself in it's crimes These have caused it to be worshipped in the east, where men venerate nothing but merciless, ire sponsible force, and where an exhibi- tion of those qualities and traits de- scribed fully accounts for the formula, My lord the elephant"-Outing

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quick ly, Painlessly, Without Danger.

People go along for years suffering with piles, They try this and that and the other thing, from carrying a buck eye to getting treatment from a physi- elan. They obtain temporary relief, maybe, but they are never quite cured, A little strain In lifting, excessive fla tigue, a little constipation or a little diarrhoea, and the piles come back.
 They don't seem to amount to much, but they banish sleep and appetite. No position Is comfortable There is in- tense local pain and that dreadful feel ing of weight in the perineum.
 Maybe in the early stages some of the many salves on sale will afford temporary relief. If the case is of long standing there is only one speedy and sure remedy. It is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in light cases it is the safest thing to use. Other applications may cure and may not. Pyramid Pile Cure is always certain, always reliable, al- ways brings comfort at once. Its prompt use saves months of severe suf- fertng. In extreme cases it will save surgical operations and their attendant dangers and discomforts. It Is better than knife. Will cure easier, quicker and safer. Thousands have used it. Thousands have been cured by 1t. The cost is trifling compared with what it does. The price is 50 cents. Most any body would gladly pay ten dollars to be rid of piles.
