Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the

there under the direction of his bureau.
Great steel coal sheds are going up on
the Torturgas, equipped with the very

is almost completed, with capacity of
10000 gallons of fresh water, and Ad-

soon be a we'll equipped naval station,
capable of taking in and caring for any

recent trial.

us it true that you contemplate a
transatlantic trip?"
There is no reason why my airship
should not, when perfected, go across
the Atlantic. The finished airship will
carry crew of eight men, with lifting
power of 1000 pounds. The measure
ments are 150x29 feet, with a capacity
of 10000 cubic feet of hydrogen. The
vertical area is 172h square feet. The
ships length is 37H feet, it's depth 10
feet, netting a two-feet beam, is IL feet
in diameter, with the wheels five feet,
and fan propeller nine feet. There
is coming tower, engine-room, steer
ing gear, and a bomb tube. When you
wish to rise you pull up the diaphragm,
or inclined plain in the fore part of the
ship, start the propeller, and you
ascend, while by lowering the dia-
phragm you descend.
MY recent tests were only with n
model worked by clockwork, but my
finished machine will be driven by an
electric motor at the rate of 100 miles
an hour. The ship can easily go from
here TO New York under two days. Full
accommodation and supplies for the
crew would be provided in the car of the
vessel, which, by secret which | do
not think it well yet to reveal, is always
kept on even keel. Through the bottom
of the car there are two bomb tubes,
which could be used for dropping dyna-
mite shells on an enemy.
MY ship is to be constructed under
the supervision of the military authori-
ties, and | am confident it will fulfill
the conditions have promised"

THE ADMIRAL DEWEY ROSE.
New Flower which Is Sure to BE
POpuInr-The Beautiful Lib
erty Rose.

OF the many things named for Admir-
al Dewey since the victory at Manila
it is probable that none is more worthy
of the distinction than the new rose
which has lately appeared. 1t is of
light tea shade and is very fragrant.
It's principal characteristic, and the one
which has enhanced its value in the
eyes of florists, is its lasting quality.
An Admiral Dewey rose will retain its
freshness for as long as ten days. The
rose has been in the market for little
over three months, but the supply is yet
very scarce. 1t is grown by florist at
Bayside, L. l., who, it is said, paid $751;
900 for the original plant. The rose in
some respects closely resembles the
bridesmaid rose, although of a much
richer color.
Another new rose on the market is
the Liberty. 1t is an importation from
England, $4,000 being paid for six
plants by florist, who saw a chance for
speculation. Although no Liberty
roses will be sold till next year, those
already exhibited have won the admira-

the opinion that it is the finest rose on
the American market. It's claim for
such distinction is In it's color, which
is a genuine ruby red. Every rose
being almost an exact match in color of
the finest gem. No other rose APP
proaches it in this respect, it is said.
In size the Liberty rose compares with
the Bridesmaid and has heavy thick
stem. One of the largest florists on
Broadway recently exhibited few Lib
erty roses in his window, in another
part of which were some of the famous
Lawson pinks. The exhibition drew an
enormous crowd, but the roses appar-
emily came in for a greater share of adj
miration. 1t will be some time, it is
said, before many can be purchased,
as only 500 roses will be propagated
next season.
The two rosesS the Admiral Dewey
and the Liberty, florists say, are the
finest yet produced in this country.

The Vienna Reichswehr states that, al
though the secret has hitherto been
well kept, the IN 1888" rifle, which has
until now been in use in the German
army, is being rapidly replaced by a
new rife Of improved type. The new
weapon is of somewhat smaller caliber,
is slightly lighter, and, being easier to
handle, can be fired more rapidly than
the rife at present in use. The whole
German army is expected to be armed
with the new rifle, which surpasses any
at present in service in Europe, by the
end of this year.

In the county of Escambia in Alabama
is the little town of Flomaton and there
lives Mrs. Mollie Grimes. She was
good wife and mother but several years
ago she found her health slipping away
from her. She realized that this meant
the inevitable nervousness and irritability
that would surely lose for her the affec-
ton of her children and husband, and
that as her health declined discord and
misery would appear in her home. She
was filled with the loving motherly in
stinct, but two miscarriages in succession
almost broke her heart. She had almost
lost hope when the clouds rolled away
and the light of health and happiness
returned.
She tells her story in these words:
II was almost hear-broken to think could
not raise any more children and had to suffer as

CLEVER FORGERY.
Fraud I'm Army Discharge Papers
Discovered When Money Lies
Uncalled For.

A peculiar forgery of discharge pa
pers has been discovered by the war
department, which invites the sus-
picion there may be an organized sys-
tenn to defraud the government. Some
weeks ago final statements and other
documents necessary to the discharge
of an enlisted man were presented in
the regular form. Nothing was lack
ing to make the papers correct and the
account was ordered paid.
The name given was Charles r. Hill
Ter, \of company X, Fourth Missouri
volunteers, and the cause of the dis
charge was recorded as disability on
surgeons certificate, which was fur
nished. Everything required in such a
transaction was provided and the COM
pany and regimental officers and the
surgeons signatures were in handwrit-
ing apparently different from that in
the body of the discharge. The request
should be sent in the care of clergy
man at Augusta, Ga.
The latter held the check in expecta-
ton that it would be called for by sol
der, whose appearance would corre-
spond with the description embodied
in the discharge. A few days ago the
minister returned the check with a
note, saying it had not been called for
and there might be some mistake, as he
knew of no such man. A search of the
regimental returns revealed no soldier
named Hitler, and an inquiry did not
produce any trace of him. Further in
vestigation showed that the whole

CRUISER FOR LAX rs.
Probable That Vessel Will Be Built
as Provided For by Congress.
Treaty with England tn Ne Amended
So as 10 Admit of This-ian
shoes for Ma
rines.

1t Is now more than probable that the
new cruiser for the great lakes, for
which congress appropriated 100000.
will be built. Sir Julian Pauncefote
has intimated to Secretary Hay that
Great Britain will consent to amend or
annul the Rush-Bagot convention In
such a way as to permit the building of
armed ships of modern types.
This agreement was made at the re-
quest of the United States in 1917 be-
tween the British minister, Charles
Bagot and Richard Rush, acting Sec
rotary of state. 1t provided that the
naval force of each nation should be
limited on Lake Ontario to one ship and
on the upper lakes to two ships not ex-
ceeding 100 tons and armed with one
gun not exceeding in size an 1s-pounder.
The agreement has been violated by
both nations by mutual consent, and
the old steamer Michigan, now nomi-
nally guarding the upper lakes for this
country, has displacement of 365 tons
and carries six six-pound rapid-fire and
two one-pound rapid-fire rifles and two
gatlings. Sir Julian's agreement to
modify the Anticipated convention will
permit the navy department to build
modern ship, which before long will
be cruising around Chicago.

The commandant of the marine corps
has authorized the procurement in the
next annual supplies for the corps tan
colored leather shoes TO be worn in the
tropics. The marines destined for the
Philippines and Guam will be provided
with the regular undress blue flannel
blouses, but they will be made in skele-
ton form entirely without lining or
stiffening of any kind. The sea soldiers
will also be provided with colored linen
such as is worn by the marine battalion
in Cuba. This suit has proved durable
and at the same time lighter and cooler
than the army khaki uniform. A new
white helmet has been adopted for wear
my the marines in warm climates. 1t
differs from the old white helmet in
that it has no brass ornaments, is light
er, has more flare on the sides to pro-
tect the temples, and much longer
rear piece to protect the back of the
neck. The body of the helmet is made
of three-ply cork, covered with white

EXCITEMENT At BUCOOA.
The Wonderfully Rich Coal Mine Wa
Sailed"

Something like the "South Sea
Bubble" has burst at Bucoda, and al
though it is on a small scale, it az
fects quite as seriously the prospects
of many who had built up great ex-
pectations on the development of the
Thurston County Coal Co.'S property.
But alas, for human hopes! Like the
letters on the sand, a receding wave
leaves nothing to mark their exist
ence.
The smile does not apply in this
instance, however, for the company
still has the hole they have dug to de-
velop-the truth; although it is diff
cult to see just what use it can be
adapted to in order to yield the long
promised dividends from operation,
Charley Talcott says it will be extend
ed until the company reaches either
coal or China, which spirit is GER
tainly commendable, and there is a
prospect of striking many other valu.
able natural products on this direct
cut to the Orient.
1t has now been ascertained that
the bottom OF the drill-hole sunk by
Henritzi was sailed" with a superior
grade of coal from Wisconsin. At the
depth OF 204 feet this splendid high
grade coal was placed and covered
with cement, in order to induce the
belief that hard stratum covered the
black diamonds" as usual.
The company made the discovery
after they had exceeded the depth OF
the drill-hole, by drifting until they
came to 1t, when enough evidences of
fraud were unearthed to connect seve-
raj other suspicious occurrences with
the infamous proceeding and leave no
doubt OF a Systematically worked
swindle. Some of Bucoda's people re-
membered after the pointer was OBJ
tanned, that Henritzi long time ago
received large box by express from
his relations in Wisconsin, who live
near rich coal region. 1t was OBJ
served, likewise, that Henritzi has
been gradually disposing of his stock
and that he is now, as the lawyers
say, non est inpentus. His last sale
was of 1000 shares to Nottingham
for horse. The departure of the
scamp's family few days ago, osten.
sibly on trip to Seattle, is the last
link in the chain necessary for COM
plete success. Henritzi is supposed
to be in Victoria. If he was in Blu
coda, it is safe to say he would run a
mighty close shave for a ticket to
Hades from his indignant victims.
