ARMoR FOR EMPHASIZES.
Carnegie and the Bethlehem Company
 Each Bid the Maximum

Washington, May 27.-Bids have Leen opened for supplying the arn1or' for the three battleships, Illinois, AL abama and Wisconsin, now in course of construction at the Union Iron works, Newport News and Cramps. This is the second time that the gov ernment has enueavored to secure bids for supplying the armor for these ships. The efforts made about a year ago were unsuccessful because con- sress had made the minimum cost per ton for armor at figure below the cost of production. The present naval appropriation bill having increased the price allowed to $40O per ton, to- days effort was successful. For the Illinois, the two arm0r cOmpapies, Bethlehem and Carnegie, divided the bids, the one taking the lighter armor
 and the other the heavier. For the Alabama the Bethlehem company hid s1,o22, ,504, while the Carnegie company did not bid. For the Wisconsin the Carnegie company bid 1,02S, ,504. Tho rate in each case was $400 per ton. for plates, bolts and armOr, the amount allowed by congress. The Bethlehem company undertakes to begin deliv- cries within seven months after con- tract and supply 300 tons monthly. The Carnegie company will begin De cember 1 next and supply the same amount monthly.

What is the use of making a
better article than your competi-
tor it you can not get better
price for itp
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our
profits may be smaller on a single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought pro-
miuently before the public both
are certain to be tried and the
public will be very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The people have been using it for
years and have found that it can
always be depended upon. They

The battle trod to and fro in the
darkness and the whirling snow; tiny
blue flames, nearly smothered by the
night and the melting flakes, shot up
from the half burned houses, flickered
awhile and then went out, to be sue
ceeded by others as feeble; rifle shots
ratified in irregular volleys, and the
smoke from the gun muzzles increased
the obscurity which was scarcely
broken by the flashes from the weap-
ons and the faint light Of the smolder-
ing timbers.
The wind with an edge of ice whirl-
ed here and there and impartially drove
gusts of snow into the faces of the COM
batants, but could not dim their rage.
Passion and courage were equal in
each, and though the main battle had
passed on their own little corner of the
struggle was as important to them as
the fate of great armies, and neither
would yield the ground which had al
ready become where they fought a
slippery mire of red mud and snow.
Fleming, the First Lieutenant, was
shouting to his men and gesticulating
with his sword, broken at the point
by a rifle ball, though he had never
noticed it. The big fakes struck in
his eyes and blinded him at times, but
he fought on, encouraging his soldiers,

civilian raised himself up and his eyes
grew bolder
Fleming with the quickness of intui-
ton saw that this old man whom he
had despised felt one of those sudden
inspirations of courage which some
times come even to towards. He saw
the expansion of the figure, the bright
ening of the eye, the lock that was
prophetic, and again he paused as he
was about to give a command.
Stopi" said the old man in q firm
voice. raising his hand and pointing an
accusing finger at Fleming
The Lieutenant hesitated and looked
DIT him in wonder.
What do you mean?' he asked
Stop, say!' repeated the old man.
Fleming laughed and with con-
tempt. He had thrown off the mo-
mentary influence of the accusing
look, and his mind returned with full
force to his original purpose, the de-
struction of the rebels who had in
trenched themselves in the room.
Out of the way!" he exclaimed an
grily. We're going to storm that room
in there. and we will not be sresponsi-
bic for stray bullets"
The old man did not shrink back at
the officers emphatic command. His
eyes were shining with a feverish ex-
element and his courage seemed to
grow as the fever rose
Stop, l tell you again.' he shouted.
This is murder that you and those
in that room, too, are bent upon!''
1T is wari"
1T is not war; The battle is over
and you fight here without purpose!
What is the possession of this church

such a timel'
Fleming looked scornfully at the old
man, who yet held his attention and
impressed him.

true that it's night, and the snow is
falling, but were not parlor soldiers

Cou1dock's Hoodoo.

There are some plays" said Miss
Eillsler, who became famous in "Hazel
klrke, that are the actors hoodoos.
Something is certain to go wrong every
time they are produced. Louis XII
was Mr. Couldock's hoodoo One en-
gagement my father wished him to play
it. He refused, and began to swear
terribly.
Now, my father had an infallible
method of bringing Mr. Couldock to
terms on such occasions. Mr.. Couldock
got mad, my father grew madder and
finally Couldock would come around all
right He did so in the case in ques-
ton. and the play was produced.
All went swimmingly until the last
act, and everybody hoped that the evil
spell was broken. 1t was not. Mr..
Coaloock died and laid there on his
couch, waiting for the curtain to come
down, but it didn't. So what did he do.
but come back to life, go to the side of
the stage, give the necessary order,
and then return to his bed of death.
Then, when the curtain was down,
there was terrible time He frothed
at the mouth, and declared that never
again, so long as he lived, would he
play Louis XII Then he tore off all
his stage clothes and tossed them an
grily upon the floor. My father picked
them up and carried them up to his
dressing
IF you knew the old Academy, you
will remember that it had very long
windows, that extended below where
the floor was put in the dressing
rooms. This left a sort of pocket My
father absent-mindedly stuffed all these
clothes down this hole.
When Mr.. Couldock came around a
year later father wished him to play
Louis They had the same sort of a
time, but finally Couldock had an in
spiration.
I'd play it, but 1 haven't the cos
tunes
Yes, you have, said father. Here
they are So he took his cane and
flshed them out. They had been there
untouched for year, and they were
just covered with cobwebs.
And so, much against his will. Mr..
Couldock had to- play Louis xI' again.

| in their hands TO kill told of peace on
earth and good will to men. The SAN
culinary scenes of the night passed out
of Fleming's mind for a moment, and
in their place he saw the peaceful
Christmas morning of his childhood.
Then he looked weakly at Evans as
! if he would seek counsel from his sec
ond in command
Lower your weaponsi'' cried the
old man, who never ceased his ringing.
II tell you again that God will strike
you dead if you fight in His house at
such time. What sacrilege, and
you but boys!'
The fever in Fleming's veins was
dying. He looked at his men and
saw that the lust of combat was pass
ing from them. In his ears rang the
joyful note of the bell telling him that
Christ was born, and had come on
earth to teach peace and good will
among men. He turned his eyes from
his men to those of the sexton, who
pulled the rope with regular and
rhythmic stroke. and they fell before
the gaze of the old man.
"And you propose to fight here!"
famed out the old man. You should
be down on your knees and thank God
morning. Listen to my belli 1t is
declaring peace, and no other voice
shall be heard in this place"
The last touch of the battle fever
passed from F1eming's veins, but he
looked questioningly at the door be-
hind which his enemies had fortified
themselves. The old mans eyes fol-
lowed his.
"They, too, shall put down their
guns while the Christmas bell is ring
ing" he cried Come outI These
men give their promise that they will
not fire upon you
Eyes, we PROMISE" said Fleming
mechanically his mind still wandering
back with the notes of the bell to other
Christmas mornings.
There is nothing to fight for here,
anyway" said Evans in a low tone.

in the same tone
The door in front of them was

men.
Then with their Lieutenants at their
head the little band marched down the
stairway and through the church and
out into the snow and past the smol-
dering eElbers of the houses &c their

them the clear notes of the bell were
proclaiming that Christ was born on
earth and peace and good will should
reign among men.

gazed in puzzled despair at the row of

Fleming. 'Listen!"
The unseen clock overhead began &c
strike, and Fleming and his men,
awed despite themselves by the old
mans manner, counted the strokes un-
der their breath. One, two three, they
counted, and on up to twelve, standing
in silence and making no movement,
as if some new power possessed them.
Nor did any sound come from the
room in which their enemies lay, and
Fleming believed that they, too, had
been listening to the old mans words.
Then he grew angry at himself and
sought to shake off the spell.
Did you hear that?'' asked the old
man.
Eyes, L heard it, said Fleming. land
I heard nothing but clock striking
midnight
but what a midnight exclaimed
the other And do you know what
morning has begun?''
How should l know?" asked Flem
ing. How can any man who has
been marching and fighting and skir-
mishing for weeks keep track of
time?"
This is the night of the 24th of De-
cember, and it's Christmas morning
now,' cried the old man, 'the night
when Christ was born and came into
the world to preach forgiveness and to
teach men to love one anotheri I've
rung that morning in with this bell

It seemed to Fleming that the mans
manner now had the dignity and force
that we ascribe to the Hebrew proph-
cts of old. His littleness had disap-
peared he showed no semblance Of
fear, and his eyes blazed with the force
of the spirit that was in him.

But, then. he had no business there
and must take his chances. The fight
could not pause for him. Yet the
wrinkled face and the pinched features
attracted and held F'leming's eyes, and
he wondered in a vague way wha- the
man would do-whether he would
crouch again in the corner or make an
other effort to escape by the window.
The mans eyes met his own and stared

There seems to be no fabrics that are
likely to rival the plain cloths Tor GER
tain smart uses this winter. The new
dyes are very beautiful, and the 1ash-
ion of using two shades of one color III
making the gown has not ceased. Ere
Quently there is a third contrasting dye
for the vest, or guimpe, and cuffs. Inc
green and brown shades never seemed
richer or more desirable, and they make
ideal costumes, with narrow fur trim
mingS for women who do not dress eX-
travagantly but always dress elegantly.
Many Of the coat and skirt costumes
or other gowns of cloth of last spring,
i'm colors of blue, black, brown or green,
are smartly freshened this season by
the addition of accessories in a match
ing color in silk or velvet, on which
small white spots are woven II
orange or brilliant red spots are desired,
velvet in excellent qualities, and SO pat
termed is not far to seek. Indeed, by
the appearance of fabrics of every de-
scription, the display of ribbons, mil
linery accessories, bows, bodices, boas,
hose, petticoats, vestfronts, revers, ETC.,
spots seem to be in evidence every
where.
In viewing the French dress models
as they are unlocked, it is noticed that
three out of four of those designed for
dressy wear are formed either of French
broadcloth or faced, or Venetian cloth
of velvety fineness and perfect weave
and coloring With few exceptions
these are decorated with bands of rich

celebrated French ateliers are using
these fabrics in preference to any of
the oddly woven 'faneies" or color
mixed materials even of high price,
these textiles being reserved for cos
tunes for more general wear.

Formerly, chenille fringes and other
trimmings were stiff looking, and in
many cases decidedly dowdy in effect.
Now that they have come back to fa-
vor, they are found to be soft and vel
vety in appearance, forming an effec-
tive background for shaded silks, jet
pearl and cashmere beads in Oriental
colorings. Entire fancy jackets, col
lars, vests and skeleton blouses are
made Of chenille in lattice or other pat
terms, and as garn1tuTe dt has many
and increasing uses in the seasons mil
hnery.
Presumably fashion is unable to find
any prettier style for the slightly
pouched bodice than has been worn
for some time past, namely, a rounded
bodice and sleeves of silk or other ma
terial, the bodice proper cut low to
show a yoke of lighter color or a
guimpe of richly contrasting material.
AS a rule the blouse this season opens
the entire length of the front from
throat to belt. A very charming model
at importing houses is made of silver
blue corded silk, of lustrous surface,
draped with black net thickly Strewn
with moonlight-blue sequins. The
rounded yoke is formed Of white satin
covered with black chenille sprays en-
applique. The haring Medici collar is
also of the decorated satin, with turn
back cuffs to match.
