THE HL-FATED MAINE.
Description Of the Battleship De-
stroyed in Havana Harbor.
Regarded by Experts One of the
Most Effective Warships sn the
Navy-Her Cost Estimated
at $2,oOO,OOO.

The Maine was regarded as one OF the
most effective vessels in the American
navy. In speaking of her just after she
was put in commission a naval officer
said that she sis not cruiser, but
fighting ship, floating fort. She is
meant strictly for business"
The keel of the Maine was laid in the
Brooklyn navy yard, in October, 1883.
The dimensions of the hull were:
Length over all, 1924 feet 411s inches: at
water line, $40 feet; breadth of beam, 81
feet; mean draught, 211s feet; dis
placement, 6,64S tons. A sail area was
allowed of 7,135 square feet, to be used
barque-rig.
Work progressed slowly, for a plant
had to be built up. The vessel, without
ar1nor and fittings, was launched No
vember 10. 1890, iii the presence of a
great crowd and with much ceremony,
her sponsor being Miss Alice Tracy
Wilmerding, granddaughter of Secre-
tary Tracy, then at the head of the navy
department. Her official trial took
place in October. 1894.
The Maine was twin-screw, armored
turret vessel of the belted cruiser type,
that is, having an armor belt to protect
the vitals of the ship, even though the
other parts of the construction should
be riddled with shot.
The Maine had for protection against

store of the same sort will soon be
ready for business. The artificial tree
industry is comparatively new and it
must be profitable. All over town one
sees counIerfeits. Many of the large
stores, and most of the more prominent
hotels of this city, including some of
those that are most tasteful in their
decorations, now have huge palm trees
in their halls or entrances, and even in
private houses it is not uncommon to
find plants with removable leaves. The
prepared palms, such as are used to-
day. are infinitely more real in appear
ance than the old artificial plants of n
few years ago. Many are so close in
their resemblance to the live plant that

price of the man ufactured article varies

finer ones amount to $50, or even S1OO.

ret armor plates were eight inches
thick.
AS n fighter the Maine was a forTnid-
able ship. Her main battery consisted
of four 10-inch brcech-loading rifles in
the two turrets and six 6-inch breech-
loading rifles. The secondary battery
consisted of four 57-millimeter and four
47-millimeter rapid-fire guns, four AZ
millimetcr revolving cannon and four
Cuttings. There were also three tor
pedo tubes below water and four ON
the berth deck. Two torpedo boats CT
feet long, drawing 21s feet, of Ia 2-3
tons displacement, were part of the
equipment.
The turrets containing the 1O-inch
guns were arranged en- echelon, so that
all four could be trained directly ahead
or astern, with n range arc of 240 de-
grees. This arrangement of guns was
most effectual in the case of the Jap
anese fleet at the battle of the Yalu
river. The 6-inch rifles were planned
to be worked by hand, and were pro-
tected by steel shields two inches
thick.
The weight of broadside of the
Maine would have been 2,7oO pounds,
exclusive of the secondary battery.
The Maine had eight steel horizontal
boilers, vertical inverted cylinder direct
acting triple expansion twin screw en-
gines of 5000 indicated horse power.
She carried s22 tons of coal, with which
she could steam AFRO knots at 14.s
knots an hour, or 1000 knots at 10
knots an hour. She has a double bot
tom and numerous water-tight COM
partments.
The full complement of men carried
by the Maine when she was put in
commission was 306, besides the officers
and 40 marines.
The Maine. though of type of con-
struction vastly improved upon,was one
of the best vessels of Americas new
navy. She cost, all told, $4,000, 900.

A HOusemaid's Effort to Please and

A young woman, whose home is in ST.

guest of congressional family from New
England. She had just returned from a
six months tour of Europe, and the travel
ing bag she carried was plastered over with
steamer, labels and stamps of half the
famous hotels On the continent. She is not
an qqstentatiops person, by any means, the
st. Paul girl, but she certainly did set great
store by that decorated bag, and gazed with
pride on its collection of labels. Her charm
or manner and the liberality of her tips,
too, perhaps, completely won the heart of
the rim New England housemaid of the
congressional family. On the morning of the
guests departure for St. Paul the maid ap-
peared at the door of her room, wreathed
with smiles. and holding the travelling bag
in her hand.
"Here's your valise, miss" she said, glee-
fully. =" had some trouble with it, and it
took quite little soaking; but knew you
wouldn't want to start off with all those
tags pasted all over it. got 'em all off for
you, and the valise just looks brand new"

HE KEPT HIS SEAT.
Furthermore, He Explained Why He
Didn't Surrender 1t.

A little episode in street car illus
trates peculiar condition of society in
the average American city. The car was
humming along through the upper part
of town. 1t was a rainy night and the
car was filed. At every street corner
women were crowding in, laden with
water-soaked bundles and all looking
more or less bedraggled and out of
sorts. At Main and Mohawk streets a
smart-looking- well-dressed young
woman entered the car, and stood hung
ing to the straps. Directly in front of
her sat sad-faced but very respecta-
ble-looking young man. He looked up
at the young woman, but gave no indi-
ca ton that he intended to give his seat
to her. One by one the men had sur
rendered their seats to the women I'M
til only two or three men remained
sitting. Standing next to the smart
young woman was another young man,
evidently a man of position, who knew
her. As the car rushed along toward
Cold Spring the smart young woman
swung about on the straps and showed
signs of WEAKNESS. Still the young
man in front of her made no motion
toward surrendering his seat.
On, L N SO ureO; 1t seems as though
I would drop down." she said to the
young man standing by her side. Of
course. that was TOO much for her gal
liant friend. and, STOPPING over. he said
to the sad-faced young man sitting
down: .My friend, would you have the
kindness to give this young lady your
seat; she is very ti-ed?''
The sad-faced young man folded his
arms resolutely and replied: NO, 1
will not have the kindness to give this
young woman my seat. Last Monday
morning she took my place in Blank &
Co.'S as bookkeeper, because she would
work for three dollars a week less then
I was getting. If she can take my place
in business she must take my place in
the street car. L have wife and little
baby starving at home. L have been
tramping the streets all day trying to
find work. ! am tired, too"
Everybody in the car turned to listen
to the sad-faced young mans words
They were very earnest. The smart
young woman turned with sheer and
looked into the face of the young man
who stood beside her. Nothing more
was said.-Buffaio News.
