THINKS navy IS
EXTREMELY WEAK.
CFOWninShieId Says It Could
Not Meet First Class
Power

Washington, Nov. 12.-The startling
statement is made in the report Of Ad-
miral Crowninshield, chief of the navi-
cation bureau, that the present person.
mel of the navy would form barely one
fourth of the total establishment neces-
sary to fight a first class European
power. II barely suficed for the Span
ish war, and no longer can be con-
sidered, the report says, as an effective
nucleus about which a larger estab-
lishment could be formed in case OF
war.
The admiral regards this need Of the
navy for officers and men as most ur-
gent He says that the bureau can
point to many cases where the service
is being harmed by lack of officers. The
naval academy is suffering for want Of
instructors, and the present high
standard of training cannot be MAIN
tained Every bureau in the depart
ment is short of officers, and the SER
vice, the report predicts, soon will fall
behind in the struggle, first for leader
ships and then for equality, with the
other services. The disability of the
seagoing corps of officers has greatly
increased since the Spanish war, and
many of the best officers are being lost
as a result of breaking down from
oVerWOrk.
The admiral severely critlcizes the
ineffective effort of congress at the last
session to meet immediate needs for
officers by authorizing the employment
Of retired officers, and he demands the
immediate repeal Of that act. He
claims that the retired list, intended as
reward for faithful service, other
wise becomes a hardship and a punish
meut

e. Mrs. Henrietta Pennie, colOred, of
Clayton, called at the Health Depart
ment to-day to inquire If there was
any record of her marriage in the
archives of the office.
Mrs. Pennie was married about
twenty-one years ago, she is not posi-
tive of the exact date, by a colored
minister in this city, TO Daniel Pennie,
but received no certificate of marriage
She cannot remember the clergyman's 8
name who performed the ceremony.
nor where he lived.
AS Daniel Pennie, who is now dead,
was soldier in the civil war, his
widow is entitled TO a pension. and has
been advised by a Washington, Cd. c.
lawyer 10 forward her marriage certifi-
cate to establish her claim.
No record of the marriage could be
found at the Court House, and a
search of the books at the Health Of
fee disclosed the fact that the records
did not extend farther back than 1881,
and consequently there was no entry
of the wedding. As marriage licenses
were not required twenty years ago.
Mrs. Pennie has no means Of estab-
fishing her marriage.

The double menageries of the Adam

CATION of Americas greatest shows,
which will exhibit at Americus on Sat
urday, Oct 9th. contain rare and
valuable collection of wild beasts and
amphibia, many of which are shown in
remarkable and singularly amusing
performances Among the wild and
timid creatures is Captain Woodward
school of educated seals and sea lions.
These huge ocean lions and gentle-eyed
seals are endowed with a dociIity and
intelligence which training has de-
veloped to such degree that they ac-
complish many feats seemingly impos-
sible. With naught save fippers to
supply the places of legs and arms,
they are most wondrous and laughable
soldiers, musicians, mimics and mer-
ry-makers of the natural kingdom.
Everybody admires and applauds
them, and the children just go wild
over them. and no wonder.
