Hampton Roads, April 5.-The nrac-

from here. 1t is, therefore, not only
possible. but highly probable, that the
new American flying squadron has
work cut out for II.
The fleet practically gathered and al
together proposed that will bear this
euphonious title was one of the most
formidable that can be gathered to-
gether by any nation. Egotistically
In favor of the United States as that
statement may be, the facts bear it
u In average rate of speed, in ar
mored protection, in caliber and num-
Der of guns, and in fighting quality and
discipline of men, ii can be proven
that the composition of this
Flying Squadron Is Superior,
point of numbers being equal. to any
organization OF like nature to be
formed by a foreign power. When, on
Monday morning, Commodore Schley
raised his flag on the Brooklyn. evil
dence of the unmistakable character
was apparent that every man from
stoker to commandant was not only
fearless of battle, but hoped il would
come. The small caliber gun that
fired the c~ommodore's salute with
blank cartridges ang out q high
pitched paeon of welcome and peace.
About the land-locked water of Hamp-
ton Roads, where thirty-five years ago
the Monitor and Merrimac fought
their terrible battle sunshine touched
the hills just assuming their emerald
garb and nature awoke, after her hi
bernation. ~caressing the hills, spoke
only Of peace. But as the smoke blows
by, in every eye was the kindling
spark of vengeance for fellow seamen
hurled to death and the hope that the
cannon's tenor note might be changed
to the dreadful n of war.
In the makeup of the flying squad
o speed and fighting qualities have
been considered. A summary of the
points In comparison with those of the
best boats that Spain car offer in max

of this fleet, however, Is In thickness or

A Single Plea.

Aristotle maintained that four separate
causes are necessary before anything ex.
lists. One great cause alone is sufficient
to justify you in using Delmarvia
Phone. 1t is a home company. The
Delmarvia Company should penetrate
clear into the warmest appreciation OF
the citizens Of Wilmington. and no in
ducement whatever should be considered
when offered you to remain with the
foreign corporation. 1t is due to the
home company alone that telephone sub
scribers can now have service at Il rea-
sonable rate. To whom then should
your support be given? To the corpora
ton who ior years maintained Il high
rate and a not altogether satisfactory SER
vice. or to your own home institution,
who were first to place the telephone at
the present low rate and with a service
that cannot bccxccIled by any tie lephone
company in the country? The Delmarvia
is the long distance metallic system,
which will give more satisfactory service
than anv other system in use. There is
no need of arguing this. The case is
like that of the Western man who de-
clarcd his candidate to be greater than
the opposition. "iou can't prove that, y
said his audience OF one. IL don't need
to-" said the former, ''hc admits it him
SELF There is no rebate on Delmarvia
Phone rates. 1t is a fla, rate and guar
anccd for five years. How long will the
rebate be guaranteed by the monopoly?
Who can answer this? Take 10 chances.
Patronizc your own home company and
have a Delmarvia Phone. Full iniolma-
ton furnished cherriully if you send
name and address to lDemarvia TcIc-
phone Company, seventh and Orange

The Astronomical observatory in Rome
over which Father Scarc a New York
Catholic priest, has just been called to
preside, should not be confnunded with
the somewhat older institution in the
same city Of which Tacchni has been d.
rector for about twenty Years. The
former was established by the present
Pope and is a feature OF the Vatican
palace. One asccnds to the observatory
by Il staircase that winds its way up
through a ittecn-ioot stone wall. The
thirtecn-inch telescope there was en-
ploycd for several years, in co-opcration
with about a dozen other instruments
elsewhere, in photographing stars for
the great International chart OF the
heavens. The other observatory is con-
nected with the Collegio Romano. now a
civil institution But frola 1919 until
1873 its director was a Jesuit Father
Secchi, who, like Father Scarlc. was for
a short time connected with the Catholic
college in Georgetown, y. {. Sccchi, it
will be remembered, conducted famous
investigations into the nature Of sun
spots and other solar phenomena; and
his classification Of the stars by their
spectra, is generally observed by more
modern astronomical spectroScopist~.
