and it was decidedly the best thing

ure of the audience Colebouru's

The entertainment now running at
the opera house is one OF the best OF
its kind il not the best, that has ever
been given in the town. Griffith, the
hypnotist, is an undoubted master Of
his art, and controls his subject per
fectly, The large audiences have
been amazed, entertained, delighted,
satisfied. All sorts of,queer antics are
performed by the subjects, and yet
nothing offensive in the least partic

stant roar Of laughter. 1t is worth
while to attend these entertainments

paid. There is no fake about Grill

A writer In The Nineteenth CEN
fury" makes short work OF the idea
that accidents in Industrial pursuits
are as destructive to life and limb as
is war itself. The statement was made
in the British press. ana was widely
copied with credence here. that more
men We're being killed and manned in
British factories than on British bat
tlciiclds in South Africa. this being
said partly to set forth the criminal
negligence of employers concerning
their workmcn's safety and partly Ia
throw discredit upon the achievements
Of the army. And figures from official
statistics were cited showing that in
the year from September ], 1899. to
August 81, 1900. no fewer than I,3oS
persons were killed and 5000 We're in
jure1 in industrial accidents in the
United Kingdom-"f more" it was
said. than the total number killed and
wounded since the war began in South
Africa" The fallacy in this is obvious,
when il is pointed out that the aver
az" number Of soldiers in the war was
$3.50 officers and 1S6. 900 men. while the
number engaged in industries was .
1898. A comparison shows that
while one in every y was killed IT,
war. only one in 1860 was killed in in
dustry. ana while one III every Il Was
wounded in war. only one in 50 was
injured i'll industry. Even il We Select
the most hazardous industries We .ir,l
their casualty percentages far helo"
those Of war. The perils in some in
dustrial occupations are CricTous
enough, but they are not to be com
pared with the peiiis of warfare.

In the report of the secretary of the

president, recommend the following.
increase OF the navy: Eattleships. =:
armored cruisers, ;: Gunboats. .;
dcstroyers. .; torpedo boats. 3; trans.
port. l and training ships. 2. Some of
the individual members of the board
vary this general recommendation by
urging more light cruisers and gun
boats. in commenting upon this
recommendation Secretary Long says:
IAN the vessels thus recommended are
desirable in the prospective develop
ment of our naval force. But in view
of the number of large fighting vessels
already authorized. some of them
hardly begun. the department is of the
opinion that Congress at its coming
session should be asked for only two
battleships and two armored cruisers,
all of the maximum displacement
specified: that at least six light-draft
s,,lnboats and some small craft for
river service are especially desirable in
connection with our insular service,
and that the Golfers, training ships
transport and repair ship are the
necessary accompaniment Of the gen.
sral recent increase of the navy. both

The Boston Journal prophecies that
the monitor Nevada, launched at Bath
on Saturday. will be one of the Last
vessels of this type to splash into
American waters. The Nevada and
her three sisters, Florida. Arkansas
and Wyoming, owe their existence to
the harbor defence scare of the early
weeks of the Spanish war. when every
port long the coast was calling on Sec
rotary Long for an armor-clad. These
monitors are relatively small. light Of
draught and cheap. They present 4
very difficult target and vet mount
formidable artillery. But it has been
repeatedly shown that they are unfit
TO keep the sea. They are an eXtrava-
CANT drag on the speed Of cruising
squadrons, and they are very uncom,
Portable and unwholesome as floating
homes for their officers and men. II
Congress had waited until the end OF
the Spanish war and had Profited by
the experience of the four monitors in
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet, these new
craft never would have been authoriZ-
cd. II is not likely that any moro
monitors will be built.

Tho objection Of Connecticut to hav-
ing q monitor bear its name, and the
failure of the attempt to have the new
monitor named the Kenncbec, gives
special significance to the following
recommendation in the report of Sec
reary Long. now made public. Vessels
Of the monitor type constitute a sep
arate class. and it is suggested that
the statute requiring that these vessels
be named after states might very
properly be amended SO as To permit
the selection, in the case of the small
number of such vessels under con-
struction. of other suitable Names

The joke is occasionally on the Joker.
1t is so in the case of the Eaw York
woman who. for a joke on her absent
husband. borrowed two nov babies,
placed them with her own, AMI on the
poor mans return presented to him
triplets. The joke was n lovely one,
but. as jokes sometimes will. turned
itself inside out into an alarming
tragedy when the mother discovered
that the three babies. which had been
dressed alike for the hilarious occa-
sion. had got their several Identities
inextricably entangled. Nobody could
tell which from t'Other. and the de-
movement threw three women and n
nurse of the usual comic opera in
telligence into rapid hysteria. The af-
fair has been chiefly appreciated by
the funny men on the metropolitan
newspapers VINO have made elaborate
use of it as text for sermons on the
rcactionary and cumulative power of
jokes in general and of Women's jokes
in particular.
