Secretary of the Navy Kept Hustling-New
 Battleship Amazonas.
 Washington, March 15.-This was another busy day in war and navy de- partments. Secretary Alger was en- abled to make an allotment of funds from the appropriation of $50,00O000 which will greatly facilitate the work of the bureaus. These bureaus had not been able to conclude any con- tracts for the procurement of war sup plies because no allotment had been made, but to-day the ordnance bureau was given two and a half million dol lars and business went forward with rush. It is true that this sum is al- ready mortgaged under provisional ar engagements made during the past week but with the assurance of more funds to come the work of the bureau is now moving rapidly.
 Long's Busy Day.
 Secretary Long was extremely busy to-day, having not only to give a good deal of time to the cabinet, to which he was obliged to return twice, but also being obliged to see a great many per- sons with whom the department has or expects to have contract relations. Among the latter was MT. Herreshoff the torpedo boat builder from Bristol R. I. He turned two of these boats over to the department few days ago and the secretary's purpose in consult ing him was to learn how much he could hasten the work on one of the boats remaining in his hands which in ordinary times would require two months to complete. The secretary also spent good deal of time at in- tervals during the day in consulting over the long distance telephone with naval officers In New York and it is believed much of this consultation con- cerned the procurement of suitable ves- sels from among the auxiliary navy for war purposes. MT. Ma1ster of the Co., lumbian iron works at Baltimore has notified the department that he will be able to turn over to 1t the torpedo boat Rodgers next Saturday. The Rodgers smashed her engines in the midst of a trial trip about six months ago. It was necessary almost to replace the engines, but under the heavy orders of the navy department this has been done in good time.
 The Amazonas.
 The new cruiser Amazonas will be sent to relieve the San Francisco. Without doubt the Amazonas will be gotten across the ocean as soon as pos sible and it is expected that the San Francisco vii convey her. The torpedo boat Foote arrived at Jacksonville this afternoon. The Machias sailed from Norfolk to Boston, where she will un- dergo some repairs made necessary by her long Asiatic cruise. The Brooklyn went up to Newport News for coal. The Marblehead, which was taking on stores at Tampa, sailed to rejoin the squadron at Tortugas.

Noble Act of n mImissIppiAn in the

The Hon. John Temple Graves, In q
brief speech before Georgia Woman's

a beautiful story--a true story-which
emNalms the heroism and surprising
chlvalry Of gallant veteran now liv-
Ing In Atlanta. Mr.. Graves said.
"Thls Is an era OF heroes. We arc

are with us, and let us not now or
ever forget the heroes yet living whose
prowess glorifed an earlier day.
"There Is hero and night Of chival-

epic OF the great struggle was tho

OF volunteers was chosen to scale and

Shade in Poultry Xards.

When for any reason it is necessary to
confine fowls in runs during the sum-
mer, some sort of shade should be fur
nished them. If it Is possible to build
the run so that it will enclose one or
more trees it will be an ideal spot for
the purpose, but if this cannot be done
it is a good plan to set row of rasp-
berry or currant bushes in the yard next
to the fence on the sunny side. The
chicks will rarely bother the fruit, but
will keep the plants free from vermin,
Shrubs of inexpensive sorts may also be
used for the purpose, or the same result
may be obtained by planting a row Of
tall growing ANIMALS or bulb plants just
outside the fence. This plan will serve
the double purpose of shade for the fowls
and shut off from the street the view Of
the Oftentimes unsightly yard.
Scarlet sage, cannas, caladium escu-
lentum and feverfew are desirable plants
for the purpose, with a preference in
favor of the cannas as furnishing the
greatest amount of shade. If the plants
for shade are placed inside the run, the
fowls will not disturb them providing
the necessary amount of green food is
supplied for their USE If they begin to
pluck the leaves of the plants 1t is evil
dent that green food is necessary. Fowls
confined in yards during the summer
should be allowed to forage for at least
an hour day on lawn or meadow, even
if it Is necessary to watch them con-
stantly while they are out.
