is Immediately wanted for service. The
Dixie requires an expenditure of $50, 600 to
get ready for sea, and it is recommended
that work on the vessel proceed very
slowly.
At the Norfolk yard there are large
number Of ships under repair and on which
work has been progressing favorably. The
order will no doubt stop work on num-
ber, or at least curtail operations consid-
erably. 1t is now intended TO continue re-
pairs on the Fortune and on the San Fran
cisco also. Work on the Apache. Dorothea,
Frolic. Hannibal, Hawk, and Others, will
proceed only as il may be necessary TO pre-
vent deterioration. The San Francisco will
probably not be ready for sea under one
year, and the Cincinnati, which is to un-
dergo extensive changes. will probably not
be in commission for eighteen months. FuI-
ly s50O,O00 Is necessary to carry out the
work on this ship.
At the Mare Island navy yard the Boston
has besn waiting months for an overhaul
ing. This ship has been two years in
Asiatic waters and is now, in many re-
spects, obsolete. Changes that will mod
ernize the cruiser have been ordered and
will be carried out. The Mohican and Alert
at the same yard and the torpedo boats are
rot required in the service, so no further
work Will be done on them.

upon the performance of that vessel re-
Gently in a heavy sea off the Virginia
Capes, while out on a builders trial spin.
The vessel, he says, behaved admirably
in the big rollers. On reaching the mouth
of the Chesapeake it was found that heavy
weather was prevailing, but the big vessel
was pointed out to sea and ran direct to
the east for eight mill y beyond Cape Henry
light, where 1t was deemed inadvisable to
proceed further on account of the trouble
in making out the landmarks necessary for
the navigation of the ship.
The Kentucky was run back and forth
over this course at speed of from thir-
teen to fourteen knots, turning in the
rough sea with marked facility and slight
motion.
The battleship pitched easily with a
maximum dip Of but three degrees, and
rolled in turning in the trough of the sea
generally with only eight or nine degrees
heel. and once to a maximum Of sixteen
degrees.
While forced draught was used to pres
sure Of three-fourths Of an inch for the
space Of half an hour, the conditions did
not afford an opprtunity for speed trial.
but 1t was estimated from the patent log
that the Kentucky made about fifteen
knots on about 103 revolutions of the en-

A Newport New. Church Project.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Nov. 9.-Sev-

have purchased for $4,000 piece of prop
erty between Washington and West Ave-
nes and Twenty-ninth and Thirtieth
Streets, on which II is said the Newport
News Baptist Church will erect a new
house of worship. The syndicate referred
to is made up of the members of the f.
nance committee of that church. AL
though these gentlemen admit that there
is some probability Of the new church be-
ing erected on that site. they say there is
nothing absolutely certain abou. 1t at this
time. The plan under consideration, it is
said. is to sell the present church prop
erty at the corner of Washington Avenue
and Twenty-ninth Street. consisting Of
five fine lots, and to build with the pro-
ceeds Of this sale. which will be consid-
cradle. The finance committee estimates
that this property win bring at least $5O,-

will bring as much as .$S0, 900 in a year or

NAVAL WORK CURTAlLED
Admiral HiehbOrn's Policy of Econ
omy to Be Adopted.
Only Vessels Needed for Immediate
Service VIII he Overhauled and
Rrpaired-Funds Insufficient to
Garry Out All the Plans of the Con-
struction and Engineering bureaus

Rear Admiral Hichborn's suggested poll
cy of economy in regard to repairing and
overhauling ships at the several yards has
been approved by the Navy Department.
There are now nearly fifty vessels under
going repairs or waiting for renovation,
and an order will soon be issued to COM
mandants in which the vessels most ur
gently required for. service will be desig-
mated, with instructions TO continue the
repairs until they are ready and to aban-
don those ships not needed now for active
duty. This policy has become necessary in
order that the Construction and Engineer
ing bureaus may be able to get through
the next four months with the funds at
their disposal.
The reduction in work begins at the
Portsmouth yard and extends to all but
the New York. where the vessels are o.
such class that practically all are now
required for some station. The two Span
ish gunboats Alvarado and Sandoval are
so nearly completed at Portsmouth that
the department will direct that the work
continue on them until they are ready for
sea. At the same station is the Raleigh,
on which 100000 is to be expended be-
fore it is again in commission. No special
appropriation has been made either for
this vessel or the Cincinnati, which Is to
undergo similar changes at Norfolk, SO
that 1t is intended TO perform only so
much work on these vessels as to prevent
their deterioration.
AT the Boston navy yard the reduction in
work affects three ships. The Vicksburg is
required for duty in the Philippines and is
to be pushed rapidly and got out of the
way. The vessel should be ready for sea
In thirty days. Upon the amount of work
and the cost required on the Olympia will
depend how rapid the progress will be
at first. survey board is now examining
the ship, and will submit its findings in
a few days. There is no purpose in sny
event to allow the Olympia to remain at
the yard without some repairs being be-
gun, and while the force at work on the
cruiser may be small at first, it will be
increased as the money becomes available
All work Is TO stop on the cruiser To-
peka and the collers Sterling and Peoria.
Neither OF the latter is required for serv-
ice. and both can be left for the present in
the hands of shipkeepers. At the League
Island navy yard il is recommended. and
Will be SO ordered, that the work on the
Minneapolis. Columbia, and Miantonomoh
proceed only as the allowance of money
under the bureaus will permit. Ii has been
found necessary also to abandon work on

Two halves of ten minutes each were

During that time the ball was as often
in the yarsity's territory as 1t was in the
scrubs. The varsity made a touchdown
in each half. the first by a trick play and
the second by going through the line,
During the latter part of the practice the
second team distinctly outplayed the
varsity. Especially on the left side of the
line did the first team go to pieces. Time
after time the scrubs went through George

only tumble saved the varsity from being

and improved mechanical ideas in
the wars Of the future. At the very
moment when this proposal was sent
out the French were pluming them
selves upon their success in perfect
ing a really workable type of subma-
rine torpedo boat; the English were
celebrating the launching Of the
hugest and most powerful warships
ever built, and were improving the
mechanism OF war in all possible
ways; and the German Emperor was
winning the praise of experts for a
new style Of rife that he had invent
ell and that was expected to yield
particularly deadly results. What
ver the peace conference may &C
complish, it will certainly fail to get
the nations to use obsolete weapons
in future wars, or to undertake to
fight with their hands tied behind
their backs. The horrors of war are
not to be lessened by persuading peo-
pie to revert to the days of bows and
arrows, and other primative weapons.
On the contrary, it is more profitable
that the fearful advance of invention
in the field Of destructive apparatus
for war will make war less and less
feasible for civilized peoples, and
will hasten the advent Of perpetual
peace.-Reuiew Of Reriews.

Planting M~ethodiSm.

Rev. James !. Cash, editor Of the
HoIston Christian AdrOcatc, writes
editorally as follows in the last issue
of his paper. Mr.. Cash was formerly
pastor of Trinity Methodist Church
at this place and is well known to
many of our readers. Mr.. Cash
says:
About a century ago. a pioneer
Methodist bishop halted for rest and
lodging in the wild mountain regions
of Southwest Virginia. Hard by the
brink of Callahan, a tributary of the
North Fork of Powell's River, it is
said that this man of God dispensed
the Gospel to the pale face and the
Indian. Here the crystal, dashing
stream, just let loose from its un-
tanned retreat under the hoary shade
of Black Mountain, hurried by over
sands of gold to mingle with the yet
wilder waters of the Powell's. And
here, first under the boughs Of an
ancient oak, and afterward within
the walls Of the rude cabin the sturdy
and adventurous preacher taught the
people who had pitched their humble
homes on the border Of civilization.
The first generation had scarcely
hidden in its grave before a comfort
able log church greeted the "%circuit
rider" and his congregation. This
house the writer has seen many a
time. 1t stood by the road leading
from Big Stone Gap to Whitesburg,
Kentucky, and within four miles Of
the former. He never counted the
towers" of this ancient synagogue,
but invariably felt that he stood on
holy ground. In 1895 the crumb-
ling structure was torn away and the
Interstate Railway was laid through
the premises.
In this virgin soil good seed vas
sown: the word of the Lord preached
Callahan proved to be a tree
planted by the river, sure enough.
From the very beginning Methodists
breathed that unpolluted air and
drew their creaking doors ajar to
admit the faithful itinerant.
Some years since, when this editor
was toiling in that country, his
pedestrian tours conducted him along
this route. He visited the mountain
GERS and enjoyed preaching to them.
To share their sincere and unpreten-
tious hospitality was a joyIunalloyed.
He used to drum for a crowd among
the men engaged in railroad building
