the elder boys made as high as $S and

ulty Of saving money that they have of
earning it they would soon have the
means to go into business for them

matter of fact some of the prosperous
business men of Chicago have risen
from the ranks of neWsboys. One Of

Then there is Charles w. Curry,
well-known stationer, who began life
as a newsboy and who worked up the
ladder of life step. by step all by his
own exertions. There are many Others
who have become honored and useful
citizens. The large jobbing houses
have given employment to many boy
who sold papers on the streets, and
some of the most trusted employees
came from the ranks of the newsboys.
Tommy Burns, a newsboy selling
papers on the. street to-day, owns two

Another newsboy, Jack Shehan,
whose tendencies are all Of sporting

But it is this same love of sport that
keeps most of the newsboys4 on the
street. The majority Of them would
rather gamble than eat, and they like
to do that well enough, too. As soon

and each Of them expects to profit by
real estate speculations, because the

said: "We have decided to receive and

spectators who would GO to vulgar

complish absolutely nothing.
Sentimental people here affect to be-
ieye that they could pick out q man
sion which Admiral Dewey would like
TO have, without consulting him.
There is a splendid home about two
blocks from the white house. which
was occupied, during his la ter years, by
Judge Lowery, one of the mos popular
and prosperous citizens of the national

was an obscure captain in the navy, who

There are people here who affect to
believe that the Lowery residence,
which is for sale, would be excep tional-
" acceptable to Admiral Dewey ssa

time it is suggested that, maybe. Miss
Virginia Lowery, now the Duchess

Especial washington Letter.I

Admiral Dewey is coming home On
the frst-rate protected cruiser Olym-
pia. He viii take several months to
make the trip, because it is a trip
for recreation, for health and for
pleasure rather than hurry-up
business trip. He has earned a right
to four months Of leisure; and the
American people would probably vote
him perfect leisure for the remain
der If his. lifetime, if he desired it.
Speaking of the sfrst-rate protected
cruiser" reminds us that. outside of
men of the navy, probably few people
understand what are meant by the
terms 'sbattleship,' "armored eruis-
err" protected cruiser and ''gun yes
5sel, = or gunboat,8 as used in describe
ing types and classes of naval vessels.
They are not strictly limited in their
scope Of significance. Generally speak
ing the term ''battleship'' issapplied to
a type or class of vessels which are
protected by as heavy armor and armed
with as heavy guns as they can carry
on a given displacement and at the
same time leave sufficient .hotation to
enable them to carry machinery pow
erfuI enough to drive them at fair
speed, usually about Is knots per hour,
with good supply of coal and stores.
The "armored cruiser" is a vessel also
protected by armor and having its guns
mounted in turrets or shields. The es-
ssential difference between battleships
and ar1nored cruisers is that in the
latter the arrnor is much thinner and
the guns smaller and lighter, and the
ship itself is much more highly pow
cred for greater speed, and also has
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1899-07-08

what is. called greater radius of ae
ton than battleship; that is, it car
steam a greater distance on one coal
ing.
| The protected cruiser is shiI
without arnor in the proper sense
of the term; that is to say. without
.armor placed vertically on its sides
The word protected means that the
I ship is, provided with a protective deck
| This is a structure which begins at each
side Of the ship some little distance be
low the water line and slopes upward
on each side towards the middle line
of the ship TO a point solneW hat above
| the water line, and then the inner edges
of these slopes are connected by flat
deck covering what is known as the
vitsIs Of the ship, that is to say. the
boilers, machinery, magazines and the
larger part of the coal bunkers. The
thickness of the protective deck varies
in different ships, but usually it is
about four inches thick on The slopes
| and about one and one-half to two
inches thick On the fat or horizontal
part.
A gunboat, or gun vessel, is simply
an armed steamer of comparatively
small dimensions, with no protection
of any kind except usually a water
tight deck Of ordinary ship plate, which
is worked over the boilers, machinery
and ma gazines.
Under each of the above heads there
are again wide diversities of type and
model. In Taost navies battleships are
divided into two, or sometimes three,
classes-tirst, second and third. In our
own navy there are thus far but two,
the frst-rate being represented by such
ships as the Indiana, Iowa and Oregon,
and the five new ones now building and
also the three new ones just contracted
for; the second rate being represented
at present only by the Texas. Armored
cruisers are similarly classified. At
present we have but two arnered cruis-
ers. strictly speaking, in our navy, the
New York and Brooklyn. Protected
cruisers are also classified in most
navies into three different rates. I'M
der the French rating we have only
two frst-class protected cruisers in our
navy. The Columbia and Minneapolis
are the only protected cruisers we
have which would be. eIassed as first
rate in the British navy. The Olympia,
which is tzae next largest, would be
rated as q second class protected cruis-
er in the British navy. She is general
ly considered a first-rate protected
cruiser by our naval authorities.
The tendencies of more recant de-
signs is to reduce the distinction which
has hitherto prevailed between the bat
tleship and the armored cruiser types.
That is to say, in the designing Of bat
tleships within the last two or three
years naval architects have reduced the
thickness and weight Of armor and also
the caliber Of the gums and increased
the engine power and speed, in the di-
rection of the arn1ored cruiser type,
while on the osher hand there has been
q tendency TO increase the size and
lighting power Of arnored cruisers to
a point more nearly approaching the
character ef the battleship. Conse-
guentlY at this time the line Of demar-
cation, from the nagal architect point
e6 yssN, as between the batfleship and
