Mr.. Waldron's charming versatility

Choate very cleverly presented her part
and Mr. Bittner proved avery realistic
victim Of the undermining stimulant The
performance justified the claims that had
been made for II. It was by far the best
popular-price attraction that ever held
the boards here.
Aside from the play there was a pro-
gram Of pictures and spec!altes that en-

proved a decided improvement upon the

than to occupy one of the alleged ''con-
ming towers"
The smoke pipe passes up through
the center of the tower and receives
protection from it. The smokepipe is
utilized as mast, and carries the usual
lighting top and signal yard. The top
OF the smoke pipe is 100 feet above the
water line, and as the fighting top is
fifteen feet below the smoke outlet, the
men at the top guns ought not to suffer
any discomfort from smoke. The bar
bettes and coming tower rest on the
main deck, which is two inches thick.
The side armor is continuous and has a
mean thickness of twenty inches, TWEEN
ty-four inches amidships, tapering to
sixteen inches at the ends. The depth
of side armor is six and one-half feet.
The thickness of armor on turrets, bar
bettes, and coming tower is twenty
inches.
The length of the vessel on water
line is 300 feet; beam, seventy feet;
draught forward and aft, twenty and
one-half feet; displacement, about s.
power, 5000; speed, about thirteen and
one-half knots per hour; coal capacity,
500 tons; main battery, four twelve
inch and six four-inch guns; secondary
battery, six six-pounder rapid-firing
guns and two thirty-seven nm. Hotch-
kiss revolving cannon.
The sketch represents the ship clear
ed for action, the boats at other times
being stored on the superstructure. The
presence of a superstructure amidships
adds much to the comfort of a mont
tors crew and does not increase her !
size as target, as bridges and other
gear would incumber the space between |
the turrets and give the enemy as good |
a mark as does a superstructure. This |
point is illustrated by a comparison of |
the Minantonomah and the Amphitrite, |
the former having no superstructure. |
The model of this design is necessarily |

Attention has been attracted to the
merchant steamships that are classed
as auxiliary cruisers to the navy, and
which could be fitted out in a short
time so as to serve most effectively as
commerce destroyers or as speedy
transports for the handling of troops.
The available steamships that could be
utilized by the government would con-
stitute big fleet. and experts believe
that it would prove of great service
in the event of war with any country.
The four big steamers of the American
line, the St. Louis. the St. Paul, the
New York and the Paris, are the largest
ships of the number and besides these
there are the steamships of the New
