To find the best coffee in this

she can do it on only two. They
are Intelligence and Courage.
Ten women have intelligence
and no courage where one has

TURKEYS CRUISER CONTRACT.
Charles II. Crnmp Confirms the Re-
port, But Gives No Details.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 26-Charles
II. Cramp confirmed this afternoon the
published statement that his firm had Sc
cured from the Turkish Government a
contract for a warshlp. He could, how
ever. give no particulars. All he knew
about it, he said, was contained in a
cablegram dated in CoHstantinople yester-
day from General Williams, the agent for
the Cramps. who negotiated the contract,
to the effect that the Turkish Minister
of Marine had signed a contract for a
irst-class cruiser General Williams added
that he had left the Turkish capital for
New York.
The cablegram of General Williams
creates a doubt as to just what kind of
a ship will be built. This is occasioned
by the use of the words first class" in
the cab!egram. The general belief here
tofore has been that the ship would be
a cruiser of about the same size as the
Inflated Charleston of the United States
Navy, that is, about $500 tons and a
speed of twenty-five knots at trial draft
This is not the description of a first-class
cruiser, as compared with the New York
and Brooklyn or the Varsg, which the
Cramps recently completed for the Rus
sian Government, or with the frst-class
cruisers which are to be built for the
United States Navy

CLAIMS OF THE M0RMONS.
Mexican Antiquities Said to Sustain
Their Church Traditions

| PHOENIX, Arif.. Dec. 26.-The Mormon.
claim that scientific exploration ha.
resulted in the finding of evidence whlcl
sustains the traditions and beliefs Of theii
| church.
| The Mormous believe the Nephites tc
| have been the first inhabitants of The
| western Hemisphere. Benjamin Cluff
| President OF the Brighom Young College
| at Provo. Utah, and twenty-four students
| left Utah early in the fall on three
years trip. After going through Mexico
and Central America the party will trave
| through South America as far as Chile
| Prof Clun has written letter to friend
| here in which he says his party has al
| ready made important antiquarian discoy-
cries.
Many prehistoric ruins have been ex-
amined and evidences unearthed which
tend to uphold the Mormon traditions. In
| the southern part of the State OF Durango
Mexico, they found the remains of what
appeared to have once been city of great
size, and in the largest ruin dug out a
stone casket in which were found hero
glyphics which correspond with those in
the brass tablets said to have been found
in New York and which were translated
into the Book of Mormon.
Further excavations revealed burial
place, where a large number of human
bones were found, some of the skeletons
In an excellent state Of preservation. Stone
tablets were found marked in such man
ner and with such figures as are found on
the painted rocks in Arizona.
In one large chamber. isolated from
the others, they found great stone
casket in which were the bones OF what
had been very large man. and in the
stone were engraved figures tending to
show that the deceased was a ruler among
his people. A large pile Of tablets. prob
ably records of his reign, were at the rear
OF the casket, and many OF them will be
sent north for examination by expert anti
quarians.
According to Mormon traditions, Lehi
and Ishmael, accompanied by their fami-
lies, left Jerusalem about 600 B. c., built
boats and sailed toward this continent,
landing in what is now called Chile. Lehi
had two sons-Nephi and Laman. Nephi
was obedient and Lamar troublesome.
The party grew and two factions settled
around the two sons as leaders. Finally
the race numbered many thousands and
built cities in South America. Gradually
coming north cities were established in
Central America. Mexico, Arizona, and
New Mexico.
The two factions waged war for several
centuries and about 400 A. d. the Neph-
ties were exterminated by the Laman-
ties, from whom the American Indians
have descended. Maroni, the last of the
Nephites, buried the records of his peo-
pie en- brass plate in the hill "Cumo-
rah," in New York State. and an angel
revealed these plates to Joseph Smith,
who based the Book OF Mormon on these
records.
By hnding in the ruins of Central and
South American cities evidences that
they were built by descendants OF Lehi,
the Mormons hope to give to the world
a proof that the Book of Mormon is what
the Latter Day Saints claim it to be
a true history of the first people who in
habited this hemisphere.

HANNA'S BILL A BAD ONE.
The Ship Subsidy Scheme Would
Produce n MonOpOIy

| CHICAGO. Dec 25.--Thomas j. Elderi,in,
now connected with the Bureau Of En-
gineering of this city. and formerly Sec
retary OF the Seamen's Union, is out in
public opposition to the Ship Subsidy bill.
In expressing his views on the measure
Mr. Elderkin said today:
I consider the bill so atrociously bad
| as to be unbeatable The question to
my mind is a question whether it is right
or wrong to take money contributed by
| the public to defray public expenses and
give 1t to private individuals for private
| gain. II the proponents of the bill are
honest in claiming this is public affair.
let them legislate for a special fund for
| the relief of ship owners. This would be
better than having the expense of a con-
cern public while the profits remain pri-
vsre. But, again, If the ship owners be-
iieve that their business should be pub
lie, then why not be consistent and admit
that the public interest would be best
| served by complete ownership?
1t has been stated that IL this bill
becomes law millions OF dollars will be
saved annually to the people of these
United States in freight money paid TO
foreign shipping companies, but We know
that shipping companies in the foreign
going trade use whatever flag suits their
commercial ends best. 1t is safe to say
that II this bill becomes law within five
years shipping monopoly would be es
tablished. which, by raising and lowering
freights at pleasure, could and would con-
troll the price of every staple product and
would have tendency to drive the email
class OF American ships to seek trade
elsewhere.
Il believe that larger merchant ma
rine is desirable, for Industrial purposes,
and necessary from the standpoint of ma
tional defence, and to have this the repeal
of the navigation laws in so far as they
initiate against the purchase and opera
tion by American citizens of vessels built
in any part of the world. and the sub
stitution therefor of provisions which will
aid and protect and increase the mer-
chant marine upon the basis of equal op
portunities to all intending to participate
in the business of shipping"

Covardice ut the Polls.

The total vote of 1900 exceeds that cast
in 1896 only by 1921. Mr.. McKinley's S
vote increased 112,Sss; Mr.. Bryan's de-
creased 1867
These figures go to emphasize the
greatness of the Republican triumph at
the polls, but the important fact they
demonstrate is that at least one million
American voters refused to vote for
either MIR. Bryan or Mr.. Mckinley. Had
half of these appeared at the polling
booths in the doubtful States and ex-
pressed the distrust they had of McKin-
leyism by supporting Mr.. Bryan they
would have stamped out the evils they
complain OF once and for all.
But these men had not the courage of
their convictions, and their cowardlce
was as helpful to Mr.. Mckinley as their
active support could have been. The re-
sponsibility for the result rests quite as
much with the voters who might have
prevented it as with those who actually
ordained it.
On some day in the future, perhaps.
law will be passed depriying American
citizens who Will not vote when they
ought to of the right to vote at ALL Such
a law would be just and righteous alto

The Increase of Military Power.
lFrom I'D PhiIadeInhia Timesl

The whole genius OF our iTee government Is
directly at war with the right Of the Executive
to increase the military power. 1t Il cne OF the
very few powers that the people have practically
reserved to themselves in their fundamental law.
It provides that Congress shall not make appro-
priations for any war beyond the period OF two
years being The limit of Congress. That reser-
yation was not an accident II was placed there
expressly for the purpose OF hindering the asser-
tion of despotic military authority. The people
thus to themselves the right to pass
solemn judgment on any war in which the Gov
crnment might become involved. II approved by
them ii would be sustained and men voted for
its prosecution. II not approved by them they
have the power through their immediate repre-
sentatives to halt the sword and make it bow to
the omnipotence Of the civil power.
