A NAUTICAL WONDER.
Official Test ofthe Submarine Torpedo
Boat Holland Proves Her 20 be All
that was Claimed by The Inventor.

BOnt HOLLAND Proves Her 10 De All
that was Claimed by The Inventor.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE submarine
torpedo boat Holland was yesterday
successfully tested in Peconic bay,
Long island. At the close of the test
tie members of the board of inspec-
tion shook hands with G. P. Holland,
the inventor, and congratulated him
on his success. He had waited 25
years for victory and tears streamed
down his cheeks when the naval Off
GERS greeted him.
At 2 p. m. the board went on the
yacht Josephine to the course over
which the Holland was to be tested.
In order to make a trial submerged
run of two miles it was recommended
that two marking buoys be placed a
mile apart, and that a boat to serve
as torpedo target be anchored near
one of these buoys, so the Holland
after running a mile under water
could come up TO the surface for OBJ
servation, discharge her torpedo and
then, diving again, return to the first
buoy.
When all was ready the Holland
sank to depth of ten feet while going
at full speed, which was attained al
most Immediately. This left the tips
of the fagpoles on her deck exposed.
But for this it would have been i'm
possible to have traced the boat, as
while submerged she made no disturb
ance upon the surface. She Travelled
at the rate of eight knots an hour. Ar
irving at the end of the mile she shot
to the surface, her turret coming into
view. Ten seconds later she had
again disappeared. Within the ten
seconds she corrected her course, hav-
ing deyiated only seventy feet from
the true course, and fred n regulation
Whitehead torpedo weighing 500
pounds, which went spinning off to-
ward the target 800 yards away. Mean
while as the deadly missile whirled
true on its course the Holland swung
about and started back. She turned
in radius of rs feet, or about one and
half times her own length. She
was flying back to the starting point
before the missile had run its course.
Commander Emory and Capt. Lowe
then left the Holland and Commander
Caps and Lieut.. Henderson entered the
boat and another trip was begun.
The results were the same except that,
instead Of rising TO the surface to dis
charge the missile, the Holland fired

HOME RULE IN MEoRos.
n Autonomous GoVsrnment IL In
stalled In One OF the Philippine
Islands Under American Auspices,


N Autonomous Government IL In
stalled In One Of the philippine
AsIands Under American Auspices.
Manila, Nov. TAT Bacolod, in the
island of Negroes, the first autonomous
government of the Filipinos was estab-
lshed yesterday. Gen. Smith, COVER
nor Of the island of Negros, admin
istered the oath of Office to the Judge
OF the supreme court, who in turn
swore in the governor, three judges,
twelve councilmen, the auditor and
secretary of the interior. The natives
OF the entire island attended the cere-
mony. The officers from Iloilo were
also present. Three days feasting
will follow, in celebration of the new
government and the first anniversary
of the surrender of the Spaniards to
the Negros reyolutionists, ending with
a ball in the government house. Amer
ican flags are displayed in the village.
The celebration consisted of horse rae
ing and other sports, music, religious
functions and an illumination.
Elections were held October ., the
number Of votes east being 5,24S. There
were 40 candidates for the various of
fees. Suffrage was determined by
property qualification and ability to
read and write.
Col Minor welcomed the officials on
behalf of the United States. In the
course Of his remarks he said: 'Ne-
gros leads in the van of civil govern
ment in the Philippines. Your honor
lies in adding a new star to freedoms
flag"
Seyrino. in replying, said the best
thing for the future of Negros was the
continuance Of close relations with the
United States. Gen. Smith then an
nounccd the granting of freedom to
the political prisoners in commenora-
tion of the event. Gen. Hughes, in
command at Iloilo, telephoned a con-
gratulatory speech over the eastern
cable from that place. Gen. Smith in
an interview, remarked that it was
Of the utmost importance that the Fill
pinos should be taught to recognize
Pthe sovereignty Of the United States.
The members of the Sixth infantry,
which is divided into 30 garrisons
throughout the island of Negros, are
undergoing great hardships. A re-
Gently organized revolutionary move
ment has been discovered in northern
Negros, and the leaders have been
forced to withdraw to Panay. A num-
ber of bandits, under the leadership
of Papa Issio, a religious cllarlatan,
have been driven into the mountains,
but it is expected they will give more
trouble. A force of $50 native soldiers,
armed with Springfield rifles, is help
ing the Americans.
Gen. Lawton's operations have been
Temporarily suspended, owing to heavy
rains. The country around Cabana-
tuan is flooded. The river, however,
has begun falling rapidly and probably
the country in that section will soon
resume its normal condition.

THE WAR SPIRIT GROWS.
Japs Cultivate a Feeling of Enniity
Toward Russia.


San Francisco, Nov. IA corre-
spondent at Yokohama sends the fol-
lowing news per steamer Doric:
Judging from the tone of the native
press in comment upon the Masampho
affair, it would not be at all difficult
inst now to arouse against Russia the
latent war spirit which has been gath
ering force ever since the retrocession
of the Taru Ton peninsula.
At every stage of the rapid progress
Of her naval armament programme the
consciousness of her growing strength
is affecting the nation, while at the
same time the conviction that with the
completion of the Siberian railway the
hour for successful revenge will have
passed makes Japan morbidly sensitive
at the news of any fresh encroach-
ments of the Russians in northeastern
Asia and especially in Korea.
Little doubt now exists that some
sort of an understanding has been ar
rived ut between Japan, China and
Korea. The curt reply Of the latter
government to Russia's demand for
the Mesampho site, demand which
was almost an ultimatum, simply re-
fcrred the applicant to the Japanese
for whatever arrangements were de-
sired.

Furs will look much improved ii
they are cleaned with bran. The bran
should be placed in an earthen recep-
tacle and heated in the oven. When
hot it, should be rubbed well into the
fur. Flannel is the best thing to use
for rubbing the bran into the fur. After
the husk has renlRined in the garment
for about half an hour shake it thor
Oughly to remove all particles and brush
until the article is perfectly clean. Fur
collars that have become soiled from
rubbing against the hair may be made
to look like new by using hot bran on
them. Two applications of the bran,
and probably three, will be necessary
II the fur is badly Soiled.

ARRANGING THE VEIL.
To Judge by the Appearances Of
Many Women This Is Not sucha
Very Easy Task.

The art of arranging a veil success
fully, and at the same time fashion
ably, cannot be SO simple as it seems,
since so many women fail to accom-
plish the desired result. They put
their wells on so tight that they wrin-
kle across the face and fatten the end
of the nose, and the unneeded length is
left to hang in untidy ends at the back.
All wells should be gathered q few
inches from the middle of the upper
edge to make them fit. Fashion va
ries in the disposition of this little ar
ticle of dress which, if not properly ar
ranged, can make woman look as if
everything she has on had been thrown
at her. Just at present wells are made
crescent shape with applique lace bor-
ders, and are worn very loose, leav'
ing the chin entirely free. Afternoon
teas are responsible for this fashion,
as loose wells are more easily managed
than tight ones. The latest novelty in
yelling has a blue chenille dot, and
Russian net mounted over white tulle.

Teach Children to Read.

A mother should take great pains to
teach her children to read aloud accept
ably. Much time and money are often
expended in cultiyating the voice for
singing, and yet quite as much pleasure
may be given by the person who reads
aloud in pleasing manner. No at
tempt need be made at elocution as the
word is ordinarily understood; distinct
utterance and proper emphasis SO as
to convey easily to the hearer the mean
ing of the sentences read are all that il
necessary.-Ladies' Home Journal.

HOUSEHOLD DoN'Ts.
Things One should Not Do in n Well
Ordered and Truly WeIl-Fur-
nished House.

Truth publishes few "don'ts" that
might well be recommended to the
young housekeeper:
Don't ornament your table in mixed
color of embroideries. The well-ap-
pointed board is one in which tone is
well carried out, not only in the needle
work, but in the floral decorations.
Don't dress your walls with conflict
ing colors. A fine background for pic
lures is a cartridge paper of a solid
tint, which, as a foil, will show off any
subject which tends as a decoration.
Don't buy piece of furniture be-
cause it is lone of the latest styles"
The artistic home-maker knows that
fashionable furnishings are often
crude, and that an atmosphere may be
given by the homeliest of appoint
ments, provided the placing is right
one. Don't select covers in which there
is overelaboration of design. Quiet
tones are always the best; they do not
intrude, are restful, and generally hold
their own.
Don't let your rug be one of loud pat
tern; remember it is the foundation OF
your color scheme, and often the charm
of your room.
Don't serve your food on china dishes
of different make; give the pure white
ware, with the ordinary gilt band, a
precedence above all others. Let your
decorations be in your damask, en-
broideries and flowers.
Don't let your kitchen be a work
room only. For the convenience OF
your maid, let there be an easy-chair;
in ore corner put looking-glass, in
the other a timepiece. If there is an
unused door, make it pretty closet
by setting in the framework some three
or four shelves, which, when painted,
make tidy place for odds and ends OF
table ware.
Don't decorate your rooms with pho
tographs, either of your friends, OF
actresses, or of people you don't know.
In every house there should be folio
large enough to hold these treasures.
Don't hang your pictures too high
or too low; recollect the level OF the eye
is the correct guide. Don't fill up your
walls with poor prints; one good etch-
ing is worth dozen such.
Don't purchase furnishings merely
for their own beauty. Bear in mind
the room in which they are to be placed,
and above all their relation to other ef-
fects.
Don't buy over-ornamental pots for
your plants; they should serve as foils
rather than attract too much attention
ii themselves.

A most effective way to clear house
or room of insects of any description is
by burning sulphur. The first thing to
be done is to>remove everything that
will tarnish. The handles of furniture
can be easily taken of. Every window
should be sealed up and also the key
holes. Shut the room up and do not
open for twenty-four hours and you will
be safe in feeling that all animal life

The Care of Oak Furniture.

Oak furniture is better for being
rubbed with linseed oil, in which some
alkanet root has been stepped, and then
brushed with brush stiff enough to get
into every crevice of the carving. Or
dinarily an application of beeswax and
polishing cloths is sufficient, but the oil
and the root preserve the wood and keep
the furniture in excellent color and ap-
pearance. The time-honored beeswax
and turpentine, used by our grandmoth-
ers for polishing furniture, is still as
good polisher as can be found.

feet deep and the water in the well is
about three feet deep. A tank made Of
any suitable material is put in connec-
tion with the city main or the supply
from tank. The outlet pipe ends near
the bottom of the tank, insuring the
coolest part of the supply being deliv-
cred in the house. The device is simple
and can be made by any plumber or
steam filter. Often wells have been
abandoned when the town or city has
put in a system of water supply, and
they can be utilized to cool the water
from the mains. After wells have be-
come somewhat contaminated, making
the use of such water questionable from
n sanitary point of view, they can be
fitted with the device we have described
with perfect safety, provided all the
connections are tight. In winter the
tank takes off the icy chill from the wa
ter, and in Mr.. Young's plant the water
is drawn at temperature of about SO
degrees.
