cry barn on South Maine street. per-

another to GIOyd Bros.' lumber yard,
four blocks distant but these fires were
extinguished. B. Hildreth, who slept

A MARINE TERROR
The Holland Submarine Tor
pedO Boat
Makes Another Successful Trial
Trip.
SHE Is LIKE A DUCK.
Jules Verne's Dream is at Last
Realized
In a Boat That SWims or Dives
as Directed.

New York, March 15.-The submarine
torpedo boat Holland left her dock at
Perth Amboy today and made a run out
into the bay.
She was gone about half an hour,
and, according to Mr.. Holland, behaved
splendidly. No attempt was made to
dive.
When the Holland returned to her
dock, a number of men began the work
of putting in her pig iron ballast When
this work is completed, it will bring the
boat down to normal water line. The
Holland probably will take a short run
tomorrow or next day to test the lay of
the ballast.
In an interview Mr.. Holland said:
1.-The experiments made with the boat
today shows that she is a thorough sue
cess. The boat did everything that I
expected it to do. A speed of about
six miles an hour was made today, but
the boat is capable of much greater
speed than that 1 shall continue to
make experiments with her for the
next few weeks, so that when L have
finished them, I will be perfectly sure
of her. I can say nothing of what dis
posit8on shall make of the boat"

OUR NEW CRUISERS.
Men Will Be Sent to Europe to Bring
Them Home.

New York, March 15-The Brazilian
minister's confirmation of the purchase
bv the United States of two Brazilian
warships, was handed to Rear Admiral
Bunce at his quarters in the Brooklyn
navy yard today.
Admiral Bunce and his senior aide,
Captain Gilmore, read the cable dis
patch with evident satisfaction and
then so expressed themselves.
Just what arrangements will be MADE
for the manning of the newly purchased
vessels could not be definitely ascer-
tanned, but the general impression is
that the navy department will assign
two captains and a sufficient number OF
engineers together with seamen, fire
men and coal passers who will go over
to Europe and bring the vessels here
Neither vessel will have anything like a
full complement Of men, however, until
it reaches this side of the Atlantic.
Work on the Dolphin, which is lying
at the coal dock is being rapidly pushed
along, while the workmen on the Chi
cago and Atlanta are also very busy
Orders were received today by the
officers in charge of the United States
marine recruiting station at 100 West
street to enlist 450 men.

PICTURES FROM LIFE.
Many Women Have Passed Through
the Same Experience and With
Equally Happy Results.

equally happy Results.
She had once been a beautiful and at
tractive woman. Her friends adored
her; even strangers admired her. She
was still young-but why had her
friends deserted her? It is the usual
story. She had lost her health; her
complexion had faded; as a result her
disposition was soured. How could she
attract or hold friends? Impossible.
A year later
She is the same woman but how
changed! Hosts of friends surround her;
her eyes are sparkling, her cheeks
glow; her complexion is superb-she is
happy.
Do you wonder what made the
change? Read, then, the experience OF
Mrs. Bella HOffa, of McEwensville, Pa !:
Some six years ago." she said, I
was troubled severely with disease of
the kidneys and / will never be able to
tell how much I suffered. I tried all
kinds of remedies but could find no per-
manent relief. Finally I allowed myself
to be persuaded by Mrs. Simon Gamer
on to try Warmers Safe Cure with the
assurance that it would relieve me- she
had suffered in the same way for many
years, and had found great help by It's
use am happy to say that Safe cure
benefited me from the time began US
ing it. 1 was entirely free from all my
pains, and have been in perfect health
ever since. 1 cannot say too much Tor
