GREATER THAN THE OREGON

Mr.. John A. Monsees, of the Union
Iron Works, San Francisco, formerly
of Darlington, has our thanks for
copy of the Sunday Examiner of that
city, containing the plan and a de-
scription of the new battle-ship Ohio,
now in course of construction at the
| Union Iron Works. She will be the
largest ship ever built for the Ameri-
can navy. The Examiner says:
The Oregon is 34S feet in length, 10, 500 tons
| displacement and has speed of fifteen knots
| an hour. The Iowa is 1868 feet in length,
| II 500 tons displacement and can speed six
| teen knots an hour. The Ohio will be 1858
| feet in length, IL, 500 tons displacement and
| will have speed Of eighteen knots an hour.
The Wisconsin, also under construction, will
/ be about the size of the Iowa.
1t Is not saying too much to predict that
| the Ohio will be the greatest fighter afoat.
| Witness the performance Of the Oregon in the
destruction of Cervera's fleet off Santiago.
After making that long trip around the Horn,
Captain Clark reported her ready and fit for
any duty. She had not allowed any grass to
grow on her ia tropical waters, and when she
| WAS pitted against the ships of the East and
| those Of Spain, she distauced the one and sunk
| the other. She beat the Iowa in the race for
prizes and overhauled the twenty-knot flag
| ship of Cervera. Then she made the return
trip around the Horn and to Manila. And
then Dewey cabled that she was ready for any
c 4yy.
Tine same hands that built the matchless
Oregon have laid the keel of the big ship OF
the new navy and will finish her from keel to
| truck. She will be a credit to California and
the pride Of the Buckeye State. Ask blue
jacket for comparisons and he will tell you
ISh kk,I mill t,ot. 10
the Oregon will hang on her davits.
The guns of the Ohio will not be as large as
those of the Oregan and Iowa. Her largest
rifle will be twelve inches against the thirteen
inch machines Of the 9th two. She will
| have no eight-inch guns at all as have the
Others but her secondary battery will include
sixteen six-inch rifles. 1t is estimated that
the smaller calibres will be more effective
with smokeless powder, which is to be used
exclusively in the navy Of the future.
1t will take two years to complete
the Ohio and her approximate cost
will be over So, 100000.
GOOD SANITARY EXAMPLE.
An association of Orthodox
Hebrews has been formed in Balti-
more to assume supervision over the
slaughtering OF cattle and poultry in
tended for consumption by their
race. This is to be done after the
manner prescribed in the Old Tesla
ment. The meat thus prepared il
called kosher" The throat of the
animal must be cut and death brought
about by bleeding rather than by
I
be discovered the carcas is rejected.
1t is claimed that the custom is found
ed on sanitary laws which it would
be we'll for all mankind to adopt. That
cattle are often victims of tuberculosis
or consumption, as well as other dis
eases, is an established fact, and the
observance of such law could scarce
ly fail to be productive OF good re-
suits

FIFTY THOUSAND CHILDREN IN
lElNY

IL is estimated that at least fifty
thousand children are in want in
Cuba. 1t is said that in one small
town the older children care for the
younger by work, not begging. In
this small town scarcely all adult is
left alive. 1t is proposed to establish
an asylum there. The Gubans have
promised assistance but they have no
money. An appeal is made for aid to
help support the poor children.
The devious ways followed by the
Standard Oil Company in running
rival concerns has been shown by the
testimony given before the Industrial
Commission in Washington. The
enormous profits made by this gigantic
corporation will never be fully known
nor need its managers fear any damag
ing effects from exposure of theil
practices. Its contributions to Re
publican campaign funds is guaran
tee of protection.

A Heroic Lad of Long Ago.

In '"The Field of the Cloth of Gold, -
Roberta B. Nelson says that it was not
King Henry VIII, or Philip I. Of
France, but the peasant lad, Victor
Bachea TX, that was the hero of the day.
When 200 young Frenchmen were APP
pointed to storm q hill held by the
English archers, their flag was given to
him, to bear against the foe. And gal
lantly he bore it, in the face of the can
non balls and flying arrows; though
his companions turned tail and fed
down the hill, believing, as he did, that
it was real and not sham battle that
they were engaged in. But the English
gunners and archers had been. in
structcd to aim above the heads of their
assailants, and the gallant boy was
welcomed with cheers when he reached
the summit of the hill.-St. Nicholas
