slept well last night and was comfortable
this morning. Or. Newton is still sleeping
at Carroll Hall, however SO as to be close
at hand should his services be required
Yesterday Mr.. Hobart ate solid food with
relish and it promptly assimllated. With
his meals he took milk and between meals

change from his condition ten days ago

his stomach had refused food Of all kinds
For several days he lived on grapes and
the juice of grape fruit, but il soon ap-
peared that his stomach was so cOngest ID
that he could not even take these.
Mr.. Hobart now spends most of his time
in reclining position, and he sleeps with
out the aid of opiates. The most painful
and alarming feature Of his Illness has been
his attacks of nervousness as night APP
proacheS. These attacks have decreased.

weeks at the bedside Of her husband. feels
very much encouraged and secures more
rest than formerly.

chatting with Mrs. Hobart and those about

Rowland Hum, aged seventeen years, son
of Ezekiel HUM, a widely known and
wealthy lawyer, today accidentally shot
and killed Edwin Lippincott in the latter :

and some companions he (Hunn) was at
tempting to demonstrate how "hold-up''
could be accomplished He pointed a pis-
tol at Mr.. Lppincott, at the same time
commanding him to hold up his hands. Mr.

THE SIX NEW CRUISERS.
No Decision Yet Reached Regarding
Award.

The Navy Department has not yet
reached a decision with regard to the
award Of contracts for the construction of
the six cruisers Ct the Denver class, bids
for which were recently opened at the
Navy Department. The question under
consideration by the naval board Of con-
struction, to which the bids referred,
is whether it would be better to follow the
department plans in the construction Of
these ships, or to accept some of the bids
which contemplate ships according to the
plans of the bidders In most cases the
bidders plans contemplate greater speed
i'll some cases as high nineteen knots.
The chief constructor and englneer-in chief
are understood to be III favor of building
all six ships according to the departmental
specifications. If this view prevails 1t is
likely the requirements viii be changed SO
as to exact a speed of seventeen knots in
stead OF lGJ knots, as originally contem-
plated.
The probabilities are that the contracts
will be made with the Bath Iron Works
Union Iron Works, Trigg & Co, Fore
River Engine Company and Louis Nixon,
who represents the Crescent ship yard, for
the construction of one cruiser each.
The board appointed by the construction
board of the Navy Department to nvesti-
gate the facilities Of Townsend and Dow
ney of New York, to fulfill the contract
they seek, has returned and submitted their
report today. Townsend & DOWney are a
new firm in the ship building business, so
far the Navy Department is concerned
and the investigation of their plant by the
board was in the regular course of pro-
cedure in such cases The board finds that
their facilities fully up to the standard
demanded by the law at this stage of pro-
ceedngs while they have three months af-
ter the award of contract to complete their
preparations for active work. Their bid
was the lowest the list, conforming
closely to the department plans, 50 that
1t Is considered very likely shat they will
secure one OF the new cruisers

What Has Been Done in the Irrigation
MONemeHf.

The question Of storing flood waters for
irrigation purposes, which is being general
ly discussed at this time through the west,
has brought in so much correspondence to
the geological survey that Frederick H.
Newell, the photographer, has issued a
circular setting forth what has been done
in the way Of government surveys and the
attitude Of the government toward the
building of storage reservoirs. The circu-
lar says that a large number of reservoir
sites In western states have been surV yed
and reserved and that the maps and esti-
mates of cost Of construction have been
prepared and plans drawn to afford an ac-
curate basis for appropriation for con-
Struction."
The circular states that the officers of the
survey have no concern with the question
whether these reservoirs are TO be bult by
private capital or public funds.

The Treaty Providing for a Renewal

The United States minister at Santiago,
Chile, has informed the State Department
by cable that the Chilean Legislature has
ratified the treaty providing for a renewal
of the Chilean claims commission. Unfor-
tunately, however the Chilean government
amended the treaty at two points. The
amendments themselves are not essential
but they will require the return of the
treaty to the United States and its resub-
mission to the United States Senate for rat
ifcation, thus causing a further delay in
the execution of this convention, which has
already been so much delayed.

the nrst vessel of the navy to be equipped
with the metal furniture designed for yes

lister telegraphed orders to put Dreyfus
in irons. Thereupon gives were duly

the wretched, mans ankles, owing to
the pressure Of the iron, ssHelled, and
were lacerated. A few days later they
were covered with horrible wounds ex-
tending toethe bone. But the torture
went on with respite. The prisoner as
he stretched his bloodstained feet asked
why he was treated thus, but silence
was his only answer. For two mortal
months these torments continued.
Every morning the irons stained with
blood and rust were removed, and the
horrible wound was dressed SO that it
might begin to cicatrice, and every
evening the irons were riveted on the
crisp flesh anew, till it was torn and
raw again. Is it to be wondered at
that Captain Dreyfus should have ex-
claimed in his cell yesterday, 'They did
not judge, but they assassinated me?"

Whipping the Wrong Child.

A laughable story about a German
professor appears in the "Jugend.' An
assiduous student is this worthy peda
gogue and he naturally hates to be
disturbed by noisy children. Now, It
happened that the other evening his
wife left the house for a few hours,
and his children awaited themselves of
the opportunity to have a good old
time. They raced from room to room,
laughing and shouting. until finally
their unfortunate father, who was busy
over some abstruse mathematical prob
lem, thought that he would go distract
ed. In vain he babe them be quiet, in
vain he wrestled with his logarithms.
Finally he lost patience and, rushing
from his study, he ordered them all to
go to bed. AS it was only = o'clock,
they naturally demonstrated, but all,
with one exception. retired to their bed
rooms.
The one exception was a little girl.
She positively refused to- go to bed, and
the worthy professor found it neces-
sary to administer a little corporal
punishment, which produced the de-
sired effect. The little girl saw that
further resistance was useless, and she
too followed her companions example.
The professor was now able to pur-
sue his studies in quiet, and nothing
disturbed him until his wife returned.
Her first question was, Where are the
children?" He told her what had oc-
CURED, and she at once went up stairs
to look after the flock. Presently she
came back in a state of great excite
ment, and cried out to her husband:
Il think you must be crazy. 1 thought
that something was wrong when you
told me that you whipped one of the
children, because she wouldn't go to
bed. Now, do you know what you've
done? The child you whipped wasn't
ours at all, but DR.. Niemayer's little
girl, who has been spending the even
