HOLLAND IS SUCCESS
Submarine Boat Works With
out a Mishap on Official Test.
WAITS 25 YEARS FOR VICTORY

Tears stream Down tho Inventors Cheeks
when Congratulated by Naval Board
on Successful Trial of His Submarine
Torpedo Boat In Peconic BAY, I. I.
torpedo boat Holland was successfully
tested in Peconic bay, Long Island, yes
terday. At the close of the test the
members of the board of inspection,
Rear Admiral Rogers, Commander
Emory and Naval Constructor Wash
ington f.. Capps, shook hands with
John =. Holland, the inventor, and con
graduated him on his success. He had
waited 25 years for victory and tears
streamed down his cheeks when the
naval officers greeted him.
The urse was by compass d ne north
and south. When all was ready, the
Holland sank to a depth of 10 feet while
going at full speed, which vas attained
almost Immediately. This left the tips
of the hagpoles on her deck exposed.
But for these it would have been impos-
sible to trace the boat. as while sub
merged she made no disturbance on the
surface. She travelled at the rate of
eight knots an hour, making the mile
from start to turning point in nine and
one-half minutes. Arriving at the end
of the mile, she shot to the surface, her
turret coming into view. Ten seconds
later she had again disappeared. With
in the 10 seconds she corrected her
course, having deviated only 70 feet
from the true course, and fired a regula-
ton Whitehead torpedo weighing $40
pounds, which went spinning off toward
the target, 800 yards away. Meanwhile,
as the deadly missile hurled true on its
course, the Holland swung about and
started on her ret.in. She turned i'll a
radius of IS feet, or abort one and a
half times her own length. She was
flying back to starting point before the
missile had run it's course. The return
trip was made i'll about the same time
as the outward run and vas equally a
success.

Call For County Suffrage Convention

Call For County Suffrage Convention
All friends of justice and equal rights
i'll Madison county, are urgently invited
to meet in mass convention in the lee
ture room Congregational church, Nor
folk, November IA and 10, 1899. The
convention will DO held under the joint
auspices of the National American
Woman Suffrage association, and the
Nebraska Equal Suffrage association.
Able speakers will be present, and an
entertaining, instructive program will
be provided.
Four states, Wyoming, Colorado,
Utah and Idaho, have already granted
full suffrage to women, while twenty
six additional states have admitted
the justice of the claim by extending
partial suffrage. The states which have
had full opportunity to observe the ad-
vantages of woman suffrage unite in the
testimony that it has proved beneficial
in every direction. 1t has in no way
injured men, women or the state. In
stead, under it's influence, women have
become more intelligent and self reliant
good men have been encouraged by the
moral aid of women, and have sought the
publication of politics, which they where
unable to accomplish alone, while the
state has gained a new dignity by the
introduction of this moral force.
Important business concerning meth
DDS of work best suited to hasten the
establishment of oma suffrage, in
order that the state may gain its conse-
quent good effects, will be considered in
the convention. The friends of suffrage
are invited to aid in the formation of
these plans; the Indifferent are invited
to attend the sessions that they may be
converted and the opposed are invited
to participate in the discussion, present.

Though he owned but two trees, Ward sold
more apples than most Of the farmers who had
fine orchards. His trees were particularly
large and thrifty and bore great crops every
year. and though q few were inclined to ques-

TIE GULF STRE1M

Abandonment of the Old Idea That It
Reaches Europe as a Distinct Current.
The best school Biographies nowadays do
not say that the climate of northwest Europe
is rendered mild by the Gulf Stream as such.
They admit the Gulf Stream as one of the most
powerful influences contributing to the mild
winter climate of that region. but the great
current has ceased to figure alone as the ele-
ment which makes England and Scotland fer
tile. while Labrador, in the same latitude. Is
bleak and very cold.
The best maps also no longer show the Gulf
Stream as extending clear across the ocean.
They show the current rs flowing north as far
as the neighborhood of Newfoundland. and be-
You'd this region they depict a movement to-
ward Europe OF oceanic waters to which they
have applied the nume Gulf Stream Drift.
