REPORT ON THE KENTUCKY.
The Ship Was i'll Excellent Shape with
Few Exceptions.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The report of the
Naval Trial Board on the hattleship Ken
lucky, just Submitted 10 the Navy Depart
ment, shows that the ship was generally
in excellent condition. There was some
fault found with the electrical firing appli-
ances Of the turret, which prevented a
simultaneous firing of the four guns there
in, but the other turret appliances worked
perfectly
The Board holds that the period of time
allowed between the commissioning of the
ship and the final acceptance trial is too
short to fully develop the needs of the
ship, and point out in consequence the
necessity for a good deal of extra work
remaining to be done TO finish the Ken

Probationary Private Dismissed.

Upon the report of Foreman P. w.
Nicholson Of Truck Company D of the Dis
trict fire department the Commissioners
today dismissed Charles Robey, a private
in the company, and appointed W. N. Nor
rison as his successor, the dismissal to
take effect the 31st instant and the ap-
pointment Of Morrison the day following.
In recommending the dismissal of Pri-
vate Robey, who is what is known as a
probationary man, being in his first year
in the department, Foreman Nicholson ex-
plains that he did so because Robey has
no regard whatever of abiding by the rules
and regulations governing the District fire
department" He charges Robey with hav-
ing left the city on his day off on several
occasions, and says the man, in his opinion,

The name of Mr.. Park Agnew, collector
of internal revenue for this district, Is
again being discussed in connection with
the republican nomination for the House Of
Representatives. At meeting of the
Prince William county republicans held at
Manassas Saturday, resolutions were
adopted favoring the nomination Of a can
didate at the district convention to be held
in Alexandria August 80, and indorsing Mr..
Agnew for the honor. In the opinion of
the Prince William republicans, as ex-
pressed Saturday, Mr.. Agnew is the strong
est man in the district to lead the fight
against Representative Rixey Of Culpeper,
the democratic nominee. 1t is stated, how
ever that Mr.. Agnew will refuse to be-
come a candidate he did at the conven-
ton held here two years ago.
AS before mentioned in The Star, others
prominently spoken of as probable nomi-
nees are Mr.. Joseph l.. Crupper of this
city and Mr.. w. H. Eggborn of Culpeper.
The former says he will not accept the
nomination, and 1t is probable that Mr..
Eggborn will be chosen. There seems to be
no doubt that the republicans will place q
candidate in the field, although 1t is gener
ally conceded that this district is safely
democratic Two years ago the republicans
were not represented In the race for Con-
gress, and this being presidential election
year the party leaders recognize the peces-
sity of having a local banner bearer.

bridge, which structure, much to the re-
greet of most of the people of the District,

Naval Battalion in the assault or the su-
periority of the land forces of the local
national guardsmen in defending it.
The firing which ensued during the en-
gagement was such as to be heard through
to the District Commissioners that the
fusilade was not only in violation of law,
but amounted to a nuisance, inasmuch as il
rest to which they contended they We're
entitled. The matter was referred by the
Commissioners to the chief of police, Major

THE APPLE AS A MEDICINE.

The apple is such common fruit
that few persons are familiar with its
remarkable medicinal properties.
Everybody ought to know that the
very best thing he can do is eat ap-
pies just before going to bed. The
apple is excellent brain food, because
it has more phosphoric acid, in easily
digestible shape, than any other fruit
known. 1t excites the action of the
liver, promotes sound and healthy
sleep and thoroughly disinfects the
mouth. 1t also agglutinates the sur
plus acids of the stomach, helps the
kidney secretion and prevents calcu-
lus growth, while it obviates indiges-
tion and is one of the best preventives
of diseases of the throat. Next to
lemonade and orange, it is also the
best antidote for the thirst and crav-
ing of persons addicted to the alcohol
and opium habit.

THINGS TO FORGET.

If YOU would increase your life for
get your neighbor's faults. Forget
the temptations. Forget the pecu-
1iarities of your friends, and only re-
member the good points which made
you fond of them forget all personal
quarrels or histories you may have
heard by accident and which if repeat
ed would seem a thousand times
worse than they are. Blot out as far
as possible all the disagreeableness Of
life; they will come, but they will
grow larger when you remember
them and the constant thought OF
acts of meanness or worse still, malice
will only tend to make you more
familiar with them. Obliterate every
thing disagreeable from yesterday /;
start out with a clean sheet for today
and write upon it for sweet memory's S
sake only these things which are
lovely and lovable.
