system is that it utilizes practically the whole power of the steam. As the steam travels away from the boilers iJ constantly expands, of course. and therefore exerts less pressure to the square inch. But by increasing the size of a shafts collar and of the blades which it carries the same number Of evOlutiOns per minute may be obtained from steam of a lower pressure. In the Turbinia they passed through three of these phases, beginning with a pres sure of 225 pounds to the square inch. and emerging with a pressure of less than a pound. while by the arrange meut described the three shafts all Tevolve at the same speed.
 The Turbinia had three propellers, ali driven by one set of engines. The Viper carries a double set of engines-port and starbOard-each working two pro- Tcllers. The horse power of her en- zines is 10000 Gin reality it is probably more than thaD against the 2,O00 horse power of the Turbinia, and she can make something like forty knots an hour, considerably surpassing the Tur- binia's record of thirty-five knots.
 The Viper has boilers one-fffth larger than those of the ordinary torpedo boat ot her size; there are nearly 2,0O0 feet of additional heating area. When one reflects that by using turbines twenty per cent increased efficiency is obtained from the steam, it will be seen that in the matter of available steam power the Viper possesses an immense advan- tase over other ships. Another factor Ii a1 fn f1-1 1+1c is. l,ar extreme lightness; her tonnage is a third less than that of other destroy CTS of her dimensions. She has twice the horse power of these thirty-knot boats to drive less body weight. Ger tainly that makes the claim of superior speed look reasonable.

DECISION ON FREE PASS.
Denver Magistrate Says l. Is No Crime
 to Forge a Free Pass.

Denver, Dee. A criminal magis- trate in Denver has just decided that it is not a crime against the laws of the state of Colorado to forge a free pass on railroad. The prisoner was accused of forging an employees pass over the Union Pacific railroad, which he attempted to sell to q firm of ticket brokers. His counsel insisted that forg- cry could not be predicated of such an instrument inasEsuch as a railroad pass was a gift which did not imply Q con tract, and the railroad company could not be in any wise injured by the dis position which might be made of it. The judge held that such a pass could not be the subject of forgery under the laws of Colorado, not being mentioned in the statutes of that state, which de- fine the crime and provide for it's pun ishment.

HOUSES FOR WORKMEN.
An Experiment in London That Will
 Attract Attention.

London, Dec. 4.-Lord Roseberry opened today three blocks of work mems dwellings at Shoreditch in the East End of London, the first of their kind that have been built in the me- tropolis by a local authority other than the London county council or the city corporation. They have been erected at a cost of G2O,00O upon the ste of some of the most filthy and unhealthy siums in the whole of London, and will afford accommodation for tJr people. N nile Snoraditch has niaa- this modest beginning with a system of artisans dwellings a gigantic project is now un- der considerat ton in another important metropolitan district, St. Pancras. Here the idea is to spend a round million of pounds on clearing away number of slums and building upon the site thirty blocks of buildings, each of five stories, and containing 250 rooms.
 It is estimated that some 15,0O0 per sons could be housed at a cost which would work out at about $100 per room. The site for each block is calculated at 910,000, so that the total outlay would cost G35, 600 per block, or G1,050,000 for the whole work. By raising q loan at 21a per cent the expectation is that the scheme would become a paying ven tUre. As, however, this expectation IS based on a rental of two shillings Q room and every room is supposed to be occupied throughout the year, it ap- pears to be an unduly sanguine one. The scheme has yet to receive the sane tion of the local authorities.

INTERESTING DECISION.
IL Brings to Mind Some Very Notable
 Plays.

New York, Dec. 4.-OId playgoers who remember the celebrated railroad scene in Augustin .Daly's play entitled "Un- der the Gas Light" and in Dion Bouci- cault's drama After Dark will be in terested in the decision which was ren- dered by the supreme court of the United States today. upholding the claim of the late HIr. Daily to the copy right of the scene, and affirming a Judgment of S6,3G0 and costs in his favor against William A. Brady and others for infringing his copyright by producing the scene in the play of ''Af- ter Dark" Litigation concerning this railroad scene in these two plays began as long ago as 1868, and the particular suit which has just been determined was commenced in May, 1SS9 so that it is over ten years old. The dramatic composition which was the subject of controversy is thus described in the first opinion of the United States cir cult court of appeals in the case: An individual is put in peril of his life by being placed by another upon Q track over which a railroad train is momen- tariiy expected to arrive, and so fas- tened that he cannot move from his dangerous position. From this peril he is rescued by a third person, who, sur mounting obstacles, succeeds at the last moment in releasing him There were two versions of After Dark" one in which the rescue was effected by a third person, as in Under the Gas Light" the other in which the imper- filed man on the track saved himself by inadvertently operating a switch. The former version was held to be an in Engagement ot Nr. Dalys copyright, the latter not.

The Fretful Parisians Make a Scene
 at Theater.

Paris, Dec. 4.-Not long ago a diff ference arose between M. Claretie, the administrator of the Comedie Fran caise, and NJ. Le BarSy, one of the com pany. Last night an extraordinary scene took place during the perform ance of the ''Demi- Monde" The first act had just finished, when a violent discussion broke out among the audi ence, the real nature of which was not very clear, but which appears to have been connected with the difference al- luded to above. The curtain rose on the second act in the midst of excite ment, and the performance was inter rupted by hissing and cries of all sorts, the most frequent being "A bas Clare tie! i bas les Juifs, Vive TArmee!" The actors on the stage waited in si- fence to resume the piece, but the dem onstratoTs, encCunterirg some opposi- tion, cried out all the more, the result of which was that M. Dufos, another member of the company, remembering that in the absence of NJ. Claretie he was authorized to take his place, ex- claimed: "Gentlemen, if this noise con- tinues, shall be obliged to call in the police" The allusion to the police, Who are not popular, only increased the up roar, and further cries of "A bas Lin suet. A bas Clarctie! Let him go and see Dreyfus." The municipal guards, who were on duty, entered the theater and restored order. The incident end ed in a few being expelled and the ar rest of a spectator who refused to leave the house, but who was subsequently released. The performance was then resumed, and when the curtain fell on the second act the public, desiring to show it's sympathy with the actors, warmly applauded them.

ALL EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW.
An Anti-Railroad Statute Of Maryland
 Pronounced Invalid.

Annapolis, Md, Dec. 1.-The court of appeals handed down nine opinions to- day. Chief Judge McSherry delivered the opinion in the case of Theodore Lu- man, clerk of the circuit court for Al leghany county, against the Kitchens Bros. company, Frostburg. This pro ceeding was to test the constitutional ity of the act entitled An act to pro hibit railroad and mining corporations, their officers and agents, from selling or bartering goods, wares or merchan- disc in AiIeghany county to their en- ployes."
 The act is declared by the court in valid because it is in conflict with sec tion l of the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution. By that amendment the equal protection of the laws is guaranteed to every person. This statute, the court holds, denies that equal protection. While the off cers and directors of every other cor poration, except a railroad or mining company, may sell goods and merchan- disc to employees, the officers and di- rectors Of railroad and mining com panies, simply because they are direct ors of those two designated companies, are not allowed to engage in the mer- cantile business at all. It is likewise held that independent of any specific constitutional provision the legislation in question is vicious, because it in- vades the liberty of the citizen to en- gage in a lawful occupation which is open to every other citizen of the colu- try. The statute was not passed in the exercise of the police power and cannot be upheld as a police regulation.

officers of that corps to the line of com mand. As these machinists do not ap- pear to have previously exercised mili- tary command, I think that, before they are to be held to command, and others. including senior officers, held to be under obligations to obey them, something positive to that effect should be produced from the personnel act or from the general nature of their duties or elsewhere. The presumption is the other way and 1 find nothing to over come it."

A PERSEVERANCE TEST.
The Western Unions Way of Dealing

although they get only The current
wages of worksers in such employ
ments. there are always many appli-
cants for every vacancy In view Of
this fact the company has adopted an
interesting method Of dealing with APP
plications. Every girl applying is gues.
toned as 10 Der acv education ep4: ~
idcnce Furthermore her height is
taken. The facts as to the applicant
are then filed for future reference, and
she is advised in ease she is really anX-
ious for place TO return at the end Of
four months should she not hear from
the company before that time. The
reasons for his advice is that the list
of applications is destroyed every four
months, says the New York Sun.
Many applicants never come Sec
ond time; some. however, come a sec
ond, third or even fourth time, and,
although the officers of the company
hold out no special hope to any appi-
cant, they do say that here, as else
where, perseverance often succeeds.
The requirement that the applicant
shall appear in person each time is an
ingenious means Of wedding out those
applicants that lack the perseverance,
which, other things being equal, is like
ly to make a girl more useful to the
company than girl with less OF that
