FASTER EMPHASIZES
 NOW BEING BUILT.
Charles Crsmp Is at Washington and Makes Some Suggestions as to the
 Ones to He Built.

Washington, Aug. 9. --Chas. Cramp, the head Of Cramps shipyard in Phila- delphia, is i'll Washington to consult the naval authorities regarding the bids which are to be opened on Sept for the three 16-knot battleships Mir. Cramp has recently returned from Russia, where he secured contracts to build a battleship and & cruiser for the govern ment, which are to be far superior to anything yet designed for the American navy. Speaking of these ships, he said ::
 ''We shall begin to lay their keels some time next week. The battleships will be of l2, roo tons displacement and must maintain speed of IS knots for 12 consecutive hours with all coal, am. munition and stores aboard, and these stores, coal and ammunition are 30 per cent greater than those carried on any ship outside of Russia. Their speed, under these extraordinary conditions, must be made with ordinary natural draught. The cruiser is to be one of six, and under natural draught must maintain 22 knots for twelve consecu- tive hours and carry 7SO tons of coal and DO per cent more stores of all kinds than has hitherto been put into any warship. l"
 A continuous test for 12 hours is some. thing wholly new for warships, the practice in Europe generally being to rate vessels by the speed they attain in D squirt over single measured miles,
 Mir. Cramp while at the navy depart ment told officials that he considered it great mistake to build slow ships when other nations were building them faster and faster. He intends to submit bid for the battleships designed by the de- department to duplicate the Alabama, but it is more than likely that he will offer practically to duplicate the Russian battleships for the United States.

A Democrat from the country this morning said that when he came to town on Monday and visited Triy- lett and Mccoy. and otasr members of de gang at the court house. he was made to believe that only a few hundred Democrats of Pine Bluff were supporting Mir. Bell, but when he saw the demonst tration at the court house last night, he con- e,uded that there were but few Mc- Coy men in town.

reference whatever was made to Jefferson county politics.
 First came the Hon. Jefferson Davis. He visited the city week before be was booked for a speech While here he was escorted from the hotel by editor Murray and attor ney A. B. Grace to the Sheriff's office and also 10 McGoy's office. In due time the date for the speech came off, but the Hon. Jefferson Davis did not say word in his speech about Mccoy or "bolters. Now the Press Eagle, whose editor escorted Mr. Davis about the town aud whose paper was issued this morning, does not mention the fact tbat MT. Davis delivered a speech here at all.
 Monday night Gov. Dan ". Jones aud. the other gubernatoriat candidates spoke at the court house, but the governor failed to aIlude in any manner to local politics, and tbe fraudulent nominee for Sheriff and his supporters suffered another humiliation.
 The fact of the business IS the Democrats throughout the State thoroughly understand the political situation III Jefferson county. They recognize the fact that the alleged nominee for Sheriff is not the nom- inee of the Democracy of the county, but the nominee of partisan and proxied committee with one of Nc. Goy's attorneys holding one proxy and another holding two proxles. They also recognize the fact that the opposition to Mccoy is based on principle, and is being waged for tAe purpose of busting the most unscru- palous political rins that ever con- trolled the q stinies of aeoanty.
 In view of these facts it is not surprising that Mccoy and his par tisans are still waitir z for ihdorse- ment by the state ticket.

The good book tells us that as Paul was gong to Damascus to prosecute the chris tians he "saw a great light, and at once became a convert to christianity The days O miracles have not entirely passed, for our near neighbor, the Courier, has recently experienced an equally sudden and peculiar con- version. What kird of Q light the Courier saw is not stated, but some i'll natured people think that if was about in the shape of thls; $ $- Press Eaale.
 Our young friends of the Courier are able to take care of them selves, but the above paragraph leads us to wonder what thew light" the editor of the Press Eagle has seen since four years ago when he was so bitterly denouncing the straight ticket movement as new scheme of Triplett and Mccoy, who had held office under tue eompro mlse regime, to again foist and fast en themselves upon the people in fat offices. Itis not impertinent 10 inquire what "great light has brought about the Press Eagles conversion in so short a period We have asked this question before, but the Press Eagle has vouchsafed us TO explanation.

Thousands have tried from time imme- morial to discover some cfieacious remedy for wrinkles and other imperfcctions of the complexion, but none had yet. suc- ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam ous Complexion Specialists, of 78 Fifth Avenue, New York City, offered the pub lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic. The reason so many failed to make this discovery before is plain, because they have not followed the right principle. Balms, Creams, Lotions. etc, never have tonic effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
 The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has amost exhilarating effect upon the cuticle, absorbing and carrying off all impurities which the blood by it's natural action is constantly forcing to the surface of the skin. It is to the skin what vitalizing tonic is to the blood and nerves, q kind of new life that immediately exhilarates and strengthens wherever applied Its tonic effect is felt almost immediately, and it speedily banishes forever from the skin, freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness, oiliness, eruptions, and discolorations of any kind.
 In order that all may be benefited by their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will, during the present month, give to all call

ST. MlcHAEL'S EXCURSION.
Only Mishap Was the Loss of an
Umbrella.

The excursion Of members of st.
MichaePs parish. to River View Grove. up
the Hudson, yesterday, was a very de-
lightful affair as well as the largest ex-
cursion that has left the Pavonia wharf
in a umbe of years. The only mishap
was the loss of an umbrella by one of the
lady parishioners. Everybody board the
big steamer and barges spent an enjoy
able day. 1t was an ideal one for an ex-
~cursion. The committees in charge did
all in their power to make the excursion
a social as we'll as a financial success,
and succeeded admirably.
The boat and barges did not leave this
city until eleven o'clock. The Grove was
reached at two o'clock, and two hours
were spent in lunching and enjoying the
various attractions of the grove. The ex-
cursionists reached home safely at nine
o'clock. On board the barges the young
folks and some of the old danced merrily
to the strains of Holden's orchestras. At
times when the orchestras would strike
up Take the News to Mother and other
popular airs, the crowds woul take up
the strains and join in a general chorus.
1t was a big and happy crowd that dis
embarked at the foot of Pavonia avenue
last night.
