Worry is the father Of insomnia.
Worry is forethought gone to seed.
Worry is discounting possible future
sorrows so that the individual may
have present misery. Worry is not one
large individual sorrow; it is colony
Of petty, vague, Insignificant, restless
imps Of fear, that become important
only from their combination, their con-
stancy, their iteration. Worry is the
traitor in our camp that dampens our
powder, weakens our aim; under the
guise of helping us to bear the present

multiplies enemies within our mind to
sap our strength. Worry must not be
confused with anxiety, though both

TO BUILD BIG SHIPS.
Firm That Constructed the Ore
gon Wants Contracts.

New York, Nov. 22.-Eleven armored
ships to cost about $66,O00,00o when fin
ished are attracting shipbuilding ex-
perts to the navy department this week,
says a Tribune special from Washing
ton They will make final studies of the
plans and specifications to win in the
great competition eleven days hence,
when the bids will be opened for per-
hapS the largest construction contracts
ever undertaken at q single time by
the government. The amount at stake
at noon on December z, according to the
congressional appropriation, for hulls
and machinery alone will aggregate $42,-
100000 and within this sum the bids will
be confined, the remaining $24, ,000. 900 re-
quired to furnish the guns, arTnor, equip
ment and stores of the vessels being re-
served by the navy department for ex-
pendIture after the vessels are launched
and nearly ready for service
Certainty of brisk competition has
been brought about by the peculiar
wording of the two appropriation acts
authorizing these ships and by the de-
lay in designingg the two classes of
cruisers and battleships, sof which the
department took advantage in stipulat-
ing that all bids be opened on a single
day. The act of March 3, 1899, pro-
yided for three battleships and three
armored cruisers and the act of June
z, 1900, added two more battleshfps and
three armored cruisers, each class under
both acts being identical and the limit
of cost for hulls and machinery for
each vessel being So, 500, 600 in the case of
the battleships and 81, 900 in the case
of the cruisers.
The probable distribution of the con-
struction of the eleven big vessels has
become very interesting in view of an
Interpretation of the two acts of con-
gress by Judge Advocate General Lem
ley of the navy. He finds that the Pa
cific coast, under the two acts, can Sc
cure three battleships and one cruiser,
or three cruisers and one battleship, or
two battleships and two cruisers. That
coast is entitled to not more than four
vessels, being limited to two under each
act. The remaining seven vessels must
be built on the Atlantic. Sach act i'm
poses additional restrictions as to the
number of vessels which may be built
by one contracting party, and in this
particular, according to Captain Lem
ley's findings, a single bidder on the
Atlantic may secure as a maximum four
battleships and two cruisers, or four
cruisers and two bartleships, making
in all six vessels, but no bidder can Sc
cure three of one type and three of an
other, or five of one type
The SCOTS of San Francisco declare
they want more than four ships, and
if their bids appear to entitle them to
more than that number, the secretary
Of the navy will submit the matter to
the attorney general for decision and if
this goes against them the builders of
the Oregon will appeal to congress to
place them on an equality with their

THE MORRISON TRIAL.
WidoWer of Murdered Woman
to Give a Hunting Party.

Ell Dorado, Kan, Nov. 2s.-At noon to-
day the defense in the Jessie Morrison
murder case had only one challenge re-
naming and when that is used and the
vacancy filled, there will be a complete
Jury of II men and the hearing of evil
dence will begin. The state has waived
all of it's challenges. This morning three
men who had been passed for cause but
challenged by the defense, were excused
by the court. Two men were soon ac-
cepted in their places, and the exaInina-
ton was continued in an effort to find a
man to fill the third vacancy and thus
complete the jury.
Jessie Morrison's comfort and support
during the trial is her old father, former
Probate Judge Morrison.
He has been by her side in the court
room constantly and until today has IN
variably accompanied her to and from
the jail. This morning when the jailer
opened the door of her cell and told her
to come. she pleaded wait a minute;
father will be here soon-'
NO. said the jailer, you must come
now and she followed timidly after
hesitating a moment.
Soon after she had been seated in the
court room, Judge Morrison entered and
took his accustomed place at the pris-
oner's side.
Olin Castle widower of the murdered
woman, has arranged a hunting party
for Thanksgiving day and invited sever
al newspaper men attending the trial to
accompany him.
It wish this trial would end' he said
to a reporter. I'm getting awfully tired
of it."

the big battleship Kentucky TO Turkish
waters. The Kentucky sailed from Naples
last Saturday and arrived at the import
ant Turkish port Of Smyrna this morning.
only a few hours before the ministers
visit.
After his talk with Secretary Hay. the
minister declared that the Kentucty's
visit conveyed no menace and II had no
bearing upon the diplomatic relations be-

Asks For 5000 Additional
Troops For Africa.

London, Nov 2s.-while the reports
of the condition of Cape Colony are re-
garded as somewhat unnecessarily
alarmist, there is little disposition to
take a roseate view OF the situation The
constant dispatch to South Africa of
reinforcing drafts and the daily fights
at points wide apart show the war is
not over and. while the statement that
Lord Roberts has demanded 10000 fresh
troops is incorrect, it is a fact that he
has asked for 5000 men to replace the
battalions whose wastage incapacitates
them from duty. These reliefs will be
dispatched, but they will seriously at
tenuate the garTisons of the United
Kingdom, insomuch as Lord Roberts in
sists the troops shall be picked men and
have seasoned officers.

PERMITTED TO DRIFT.
No Legislation Towards Cuban
independence This Session.

New York, Nov. 2S.-As a result of
Secretary Roots recent inspection of
Cuba, says q Herald dispatch from
Washington, il seems certain that no
legislation contemplating independence
for the island viii be recommended to
congress for enactment during the COM
ing session and that Cuban affairs will
be permitted to drift
Secretary Roots trip was undertaken
in the interest of his health, but he took
advantage of the opportunity to exam
inc the conditions which are the out
growth of American rule.
My trip" Mr.. Root said last night,
'twas simply continuation of that
which made last spring. At that time
I visited the western part of Cuba and
examined conditions prevailing there I
desired to see for myself the conditions
existing in eastern Cuba and went di-
rectly to that part of the island.
Il found the people generally peaceful
and contented and pursuing their ordi-
nary ayocationS- The island is grow
ing steadily more prosperous and the
people seem to be satisfied
What was the sentiment in the east
e1n part of the islands in respect to an
nexation or independence" the secretary
was asked
L can't answer that question:" Mr..
rs the Cuban convention making
progress in the preparation of con-
stitution?''
ssI did not have an opportunity to at
tend the session of the convention. You
know my trip was devoted to the eastern
part of the island and all I can say
is that conditions there were much the
same as found them last spring in the
western section"
This reference to his investigation in
the western part of the island is taken to
mean that Mr.. Root has found that
practically all Cubans are trying to ac-
quire education in the art of self-gov-
ernment and that they are not impa-
tient to assume the direction of their
own affairs. At the same time, it is
said, he appreciates that the great mass
of the Cubans desire to try the expert
n1ent of government, even if the
experiment should fail and annexation
to the United States should follow.
1t is said also that Mr.. Root does not
believe annexation at this time is a
practical question, and he is giving it
no consideration. He would not discuss
any such question last night.

which former President Kruger had

to the probable attitude Of France in
certain eventualiues. Mr.. Kruger did
not press for "A definite statement and
the conversation lacked preclseness NJ.
Delcasse let it be understood that
France had not changed her attitude
since he explained the governments po-
sition in the chamber Of deputies last

NEW MILITARY BASIS.
Uncle Sam to Pattern After the
English Colonial System.

New York, Nov. 28-According to a
special dispatch from Washington to the
Tribune, a virtual agreement upon the
essential features of proposed legislation
for the army was reached last night by
war department officials with the presi-
dents approval and that of the congress
sional leaders. 1t provides for a. perma-
nent standing army organization with
minimum strength of $4,000 men, to be
increased as occasion demands by doub-
ling the size of companies in the discre-
tion of the president as commander-in-
chief and subject to the limitation of an
nual appropriations. The new line or
ganization will provide sufficient officers,
about 1000 in excess of those at present
in the regular establishments, to meet
the requirements of companies Of 20 men
each. These companies may be increas-
ed to 40 men each without additional
officers. Permanent allowances will be
made for $4,000 artillerymen in regimen
tai organization, who are needed to care
for the coast defenses.
The trainers of the adopted plan IA
vor empowering the president to enlist
natives in the Philippines not to exceed
5000 men, as needed, to be organized In
regiments with American officers, after
the English manner of fighting rebel
liOuS natives with their people. General
Macarthur has urged this step, and gives
assurances that he can easily select eX-
perienced officers from the volunteers in
his division, ard will have no difficulty
in getting desirable enlistments for an
efficient and loyal native contingent
similar to the AIacabebe cavalry, now
500 strong.
The new permanent organization. 50-
600 strong, is confidently believed to be
insured, not a doubt being expressed by
war department officials and congress
sional leaders that the house and senate
are prepared to agree promptly to the
new military basis. As to the elastic
features involving the discretionary
power of the president to increase the
size of companies to not more than dou-
bic their strength there is some doubt

TURKEY DEFIANT.
Report That She VIII Demand
Withdrawal of Kentucky.

New York. Nov. 2s.-Cable advices
say that the Vienna Tagblatt publishes
a dispatch from Constantinople to the
effect that the Turkish council of min
listers have held a conference to deter
mine whether or not the sending of the
United States battleship Kentucky to
SMYRNA should be regarded as an act
of hostility. According to the Tagblatt's
dispatch the home minister urged the
severance Of diplomatic relations with
the United States, and even goes so far
as to threaten war unless the Kentucky
should be withdrawn from Turkish
waters. The Turks express belief that
the European powers would not permit
the United States to attack Turkey, and
that country would be safe in taking a
defiant attitude.
