THE NEW KEARSARGE
She Is the Most Wonderful Type of
American Warship.
VIII De the Flagship of Uncle Sans
European SquadrOn-An Artis-
tic Bronze for the Ships
Forward Tu-ret.

The new armored battleship Kear-
sarge was visited by hundreds of peo-
pie at the Brooklyn navy yard. The
fact that the battleship had received
much notice because of her superim-
posed turrets and other features of
construction, made her an object of in
terest. Under the direction of Naval
Constructor Bowles she was placed in
drydock No. 3, where she remained
three days. She was painted and some
slight repairs were made, and while
this was being done the officers and
men detailed for that purpose showed
the great guns and the ponderous ma
chinery to the awed landsmen.
The Kearsarge has a displacementiof
11,525 tons, and the only one like her
is the Kentucky, although the Illinois
and Wisconsin correspond closely in
displacement, each being of II, sos tons.
The Maine, Missouri and Ohio, which
ships are awaiting the armor plate,
over which there has been so much
acrimony dispensed by congress in the
debate on the clause in the naval ap-
preparation bill, are of 1890, 1920
and 12,440 tons respectively. The
Kearsarge and Kentucky represent the
most powerful class of battleship in
the United States navy, and they differ
from all others because of the super
imposed turrets fore and aft, in each
of which two S-inch and two 13-inch
guns are mounted. By this arrange
ment, which necessitated many radical
changes in the general construction of
the ships, much space was gained on
the main deck, where there is great
battery of IA 5-inch guns. The crew
consists of 5S7 men, 60 of whom are of
the marine corps.

tween the big guns of the forward
turret, and duplicate of which is to

GEN. JOSEPH WHEELER.
Appointed to Take Command of the
Department of the Lakes, with
Headquarters at Chicago.

Brig. Gen. Joseph Wheeler was born
in Augusta, Ca, September 10, 1896. He
was appointed to West Point in 1855,
and after his gradual ton in 1859 served
as lieutenant of cavalry in New Mexico.
When the civil war broke out he fol-
lowed his state and was made lieuten-
ant of artillery in the confederate serv-
ice. Within the year he was pro-
NOTED successfully to the command of
aregiment, brigade, division and finally
an army corps, and in 1862 was assigned
to the command of the army corps of
the cavalry of the western army, con-
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1900-07-12

tinuing in that position until the close
of the war. May IL, 1864, he became the
senior cavalry general of the confeder-
ate states.
In 1865 he was offered the chair of
philosophy at the Louisiana state
seminary, which he declined, to enter
the practice of law. He was elected to
represent the Eighth district of Geor-
gia in the Forty-seventh congress and
was elected to the Forty-ninth and
tifty-frst congresses, inclusive.
When war with Spain was declared
he was among the first to offer
his services to the president The offer
was accepted, and Gen. Wheeler took
an active part, with Gen. Lawton and
Gen. Chaffee, in the Santiago campaign.
One of his sons, Thomas Harrison
Wheeler, died at Montauk Point at the
close of the war. Another son, Joseph
Wheeler, Jr., is lieutenant in the Phil
ippines. Miss Annie Early Wheeler, a
daughter, became a nurse during the
war with Spain, and later went to the
Philippines.
In July, 1899, Gen. Wheeler reached
Manila. He was at the hotel three
days, and was assigned to brigade in
the north on the firing line. In his
command were the Ninth, Thirty fifth
and the Seventeenth regiments. He
was stationed at Santa Rita, and re-
PEELED several night attacks. After
wards he advanced to Angeles. He re-
turned to the United States last spring
He was then a igadier-general of
volunteers.
Gen. Wheeler was appointed briga-
dier-general by President Mckinley to
fill the vacancy caused by the promo
ton of Gen. Otis, who was made a ma
jor-general. The appointment was ap-
proved by the senate just before ad-
journment. Gen. Wheeler's staff will
consist of men now on duty in the de-
partment of the lakes.

or other facilities for holding meet
ings, while the novelty of the idea at
the same time attracts great crowd
of people, who come to see the Cos
pei car out of curiosity and remain,
perhaps, to be converted.
Only recently chapel car No. 6, in
the service of the Baptist church, was
dedicated in Detroit, and has already
started for the upper peninsula of
Michigan, where it will carry the
Gospel to the miners and others who
live outside of the influence of the
regular churches.
The car contains a small organ, a
pulpit or speaking desk, seats for a
number of people, and sleeping and
living quarters for Mr.. and Mrs. c. E.
Roscrans, who will have charge of
the campaign of evangelization.
The car was built and paid for by
the efforts Of four young men in De-
troit, who sold shares or stock in the
enterprise to people in nearly every
state in the union at five dollars a
share. Car No. has been named

The Cattle aueen of Kansns.

The leading woman stock raiser of
Kansas is Miss Mary Best, of Barber
county. She came from England and
settled in Medicine Lodge ten years
ngo and soon after engaged in farming
and stock raising. With the possible
exception of ex-Congressman Jerry
Simpson, Miss Best owns the finest
farm in Barber county. She owns and
controls 200 acres of land, roo of which
are in cultivation. She is dealing ex-
tensively in cattle, and now has on her
ranch near Medicine Lodge about 1000
head, of which 700 head are her own
and the rest she is holding for other
parties.

THE PLATED SKIRT.
BE Laid In Tiny Folds Across
the Back.

Even with the triple-fold center plat
predominant, the fate of the plated
skirt hangs in the balance, for there
are those who declare that the design
does not sufficiently break the plain
ness originated by the habit back, and
is therefore found wanting.
Dame Fashion in an arbitrary mo-
ment presents an irreproachable meth
cd of arranging the fullness at the
back of the skirt and one which bids
fair to enjoy large share of popular
favor during the summer season.

Alabama, is the work of Bella L..
Pratt, of Boston. Mr.. Pratt did much
of the important work for the con-
gressional library at Washington, and
he has also some examples of his art at
Yale. He has given his attention
to this Kearsarge memorial for sew
eral months. The bronze is framed
with graceful scroll, and has the
shield of the United States for back
ground. Before this stand two fe-
male figures, thinly draped, typifying
the north and the south. The figure
on the left, with hair bound, repre-
sents the north, and the south stands
opposite, with her hair flying loose.
The faces are against the eagle which
surmounts the shield, and the shield
itself is outlined with a rope done into
knot at the apex. Beneath in a
horizontal panel is the inscription:
From the state of New Hampshire to
the L. S, S. Kearsarge, to maintain
justice, honor, freedom in the service
of a reunited people" The bronze Is
about ten feet high, and the figures
are slightly more than life size.
Aside from this, there is little or
no ornamental work on the vessel, and
even in her garb of peaceful white
she looks like a fighting machine. Her

A NOVEL SCHEME.
Company Formed In Grand Rapids,
MIchs TO Insure Nations
Against War.

Homer L. Boyle, of Grand Rapids, for
the incorporation of what the organic
er believes is destined to be the most
gigantic Institution OF the twentieth
century. The object Of the proposed
company Is nothing less than to i'm
sure nations against war, and that the
plan is not entirely without merit is
attested by the. fact that Mr., Boyle
has succeeded IN interesting some of
the foremost men of Grand Rapids and
Michigan in the project, who are add
ing the organization, not ONLY with in
ffuence of their names, but with their
cash. Among the officers are Mayor
Perry, of Grand Rapids; Congressman
Hamilton and w. A. Smith, United
States Senator J. G. Burrows, G, S.
HazHine, ex-Consubto Milan; Judge A.
Morse. ex-Consul to Glasgow, and 9TH
ers Of like cakber.
The scheme is based upon popular
stock membership at one dollar per
share, the idea being 10 gain such a
large constituency in every country on
earth as 10 make it a practical neces-
sity for the several nations to take out
policies. A dividend upon stock is
promised from any surplus in the
treasury over certain sum 10 be main
tanned for payment of policies. Ma
tions will beinsuredi in the same manner
as individuals in ordinary insurance
companies. and their assessments shall
go to constitute this fund. In case of
any dispute among nations a board of
arbitration is supposed to take charge
of the matter before diplomatic ex-
changes have reached critical stage.
