to their remarkable speed and carrying
power, are the Majestic and Teutonic OF
the White Star Line and the Campania
and Lucania of the Cunard Line.
When constructed, under the authority
of the British government, it was with
the understanding that they should be
liable at any time to immediate surrendes
10 the navy as auxiliary cruisers. Their
speed makes it almost impossible for the
ordinary cruiser to oVertake them, ana
they can carry an armament that would
make them formidable foes to the com
msrce of all countries involved in dispute
with Great Britain.
on June 81 1897, the White Star liner
Teutonic, after her arrival at Liverpool
from New York. was converted into
fully equipped ship of war within forty
hours as a test. 1t wss the occasion of
the great naval parade, at which the
Brooklyn, of the United States navy, paid
a visit to the other side.
The Toutonic's construction is such that
at any time she can be converted quickly
into a serviceable auxiliary cruiser. The
Majestic, a sister ship can be as quickly
transformed.
They are the best express steamers of
the White Star Line The Germanic and
Britannia slower boats in the passenger
service, probably would not be utilized as
auxiliary cruisers. while the freight boats
of the line, the Cymric, Georgia and
others would be available as transports.
The Campania of the Cunard Line is
625 feet over all, So feet beam and Al feet
depth of hold. Her gross register is al
most 1900 tons. The steamer was built
for speed and to serve in case of emery
ency as an auxiliary cruiser. She can
mount sixteen guns, half of them rifles
and the other half machine guns
Her sister ship, the Lucania, of prac-
tcally the same dimensions, is even faster
than the Campania, having taken the rec
ord for the eastern and western passages
of her existence.
Both the Campania and Lucania of the
Cunard, Line and the Majestic and Teu-
tonic of the White Star Line correspond
largely to the st. Paul, st. Louis, New
York and Paris of the American Line,
that were pressed into service by the Uni
ted States government as auxiliary cruis-
ers in the recent war.
In addition to the Campania and Lu-
eania the Cunard Line owns the Umbria
and Etruria, two single screw steamers
that are the fastest of their kind on the
ocean. The Servia, Gallia and half a score
of other slower steamers sail under the
Cunard management and would become
available as transports.
| In case of war France could use the yes
sells of the General Transatlantic Com
pany which are almost as formidable for
| lighting as the British auxiliaries. They
! include the Champagne, Gascogne, Tou-
raine. Bretagne and over fifty others,
which run from Havre 10 all parts OF the
| world.

CASCADE COUNTY FAIR.
The Meeting of 1898 Will Be the
Biggest and Best of Its Kind, the
Record-Beater of North Montana.

The prospects for the county fair this
fall, based upon recent information, are
bright. The committee having in
charge the preparation of the premium
list have already a guarantee of $4,000
over and above n long list of especial"
prizes to be awarded upon any or every
line of production in mine, farm or fac
tory.
The "specials' will interest our peo-
pie as much rs the regular prizes, as the
business men can hang up specials for
any particular branch of industry which
may interest them. The special prize
may be paid in cash or merchandise, or
in any article Of production possessing
value. and the offer will be printed in
the premium list in the following form z:
"John Jones, Ncihart, dealer in boots
and shoes, $40 for the best exhibit of
pumpkin pic"
The people Of Ncihart, Barker and
Monarch are especially invited to enter
the list of specials and all who are de-
sirous are requested to name the offer
to the editor of the HERALD, who is the
committeeman from this district.
The committee Of arrangements for
the county fair rs chosen at the last
meeting of directors is as follows: G.
F. Stork, f. &. Heldt, j.. X. Abbott,
w. F. Brown, Jno. r. Athcy, c. II.
Campbell, JAS. II. Gillette and c. c.
Cochran. The first named is president,
and the last, secretary. Letters to eth
er should be addressed to Great Falls.
Additional committeeman have been
appointed, notable among which we
mention VIM. Bonner of Neihart who
has been made superintendent of the
mineral department of the fair. He is q

man for the Office.
The committee met in Great Falls
Wednesday evening in a conference witt

A mark of wisdom on the part of the
committee is shown by the throwing
down of barriers of county lines, and in.

TEACHERS EXAMINATION.
The Pupils of the Tenth Grade of the
Neihart High School Compli-
tendent.

Much has been said regarding the
tenth grade in the Neihart schools, class
of '9S, concerning their work at the re-
cent teachers examination. The class
surprised the most hopeful friends by
the gallant work performed. The Great
Falls Tribune offers the following com
mcnt.
Miss Craven, county superintendent
of schools, yesterday completed the
grading Of papers submitted at the re-
cent examinations Of applicants for
teachers certificates. OF 80 examined,
only 3 failed. The pupils of the Nei-
hart High school made II great record.
Miss Nellie Boland, the only one who is
Is years of age, secured grades emitting
her TO a professional certificate, but as
she has never taught, she will receive
second grade. Edward Bennett, Louise
Bennett, Lydia VALENTINE, Stella Bo-
land and Emma Bronson secured pro-
fessional gradings, but cannot receive
certificates, being under Is years of age.
Joseph Walker wrote for only first
grade and won it, but he is too young
to receive a certificate.
In this connection it should be men
toned that Miss Marguerite Powers also
of the sterling tenth, tried for a second
grade certificate and succeed in al
branches but one, and her general aver
age is several points above that required
by the regulations. Miss Powers ac-
quilted herself more than creditably.

THE LAST MAN.
And How He Fooled :T.o COlOred Preache
at the Baptizing.

And How He Fooled .T.o Golored Preacher
at the Baptizing.
A colored preacher at a Georgia camp
meeting had numerous candidates for
baptism by immersion. He got through
without a hitch until he came to tho
last man, Who had a solemnly repentant
look.
As the latter stood up i'll the water
the preacher eyed him %curiously. Then
he looked closely at the mans clothes
and uttered an exclamation of surprise.
The man seemed to be nervous ana
made one OF two attempts to wade back
to shore, but the preacher had him firm
" by the arm.
"Brotherin," said the preacher,
"behol' de mysteries er Providence. Dis
man out heah in de water has come ter
me ter be baptize' in a suit er cloze what
he stole fun me no longer dan las
night! Providence has put him in my
way, en- fer punishment I'm gwine ter
hol' him under de water a little longer
dan usual Ell den turn what's lef' Ell
him over ter de sheriff"
He attempted to execute his threat,
but the fellow was more than a match
for him. 1t was the preacher who went
under the water and who was held there
