MORE SUBMARINE BOATS.
Lewis Nixon of Elizabeth. n. j.. VIII
Build Five for the Holland
Company.

Lewis Nixon, of Elizabeth. n. j.,
will build five submarine boats for
the Holland company. Four of the
craft will be for the navy. under the
contract which calls for six subma-
rine boats, and the additional boat
will be used as sample craft abroad.
The Holland people intend to present
propositions to foreign governments
for the construction of their type of
submarine boat. and already it is said
the firm has been greatly encouraged
by the reports which have come from
the European experts in regard to the
Holland. The naval attaches at Wash
ington have been interested specta-
tors at the various trials of that boat,
and have made favorable reports on
the step The newer types, which are
embraced in the naval order compare
more than favorably with the subma-
rine boats designed abroad The con-
tracts for the six boats for the navy
have been executed. and the deliveries
of the first of the boats will be made
within eight months.

CHANCE FOR OUR sCULPToRs.
Their work to BE shown in Place
de la Concorde, Paris, as Re-
suit of Special Concession.

American sculpture will have a
prominent display in the most con-
spicuous site in Paris, through con-
cession granted to John B. Caldwell,
the American director of fine arts at
the Paris exposition, by the French
authorities.
This concession permits the erection
in the lace de la Concorde, of speci-
ments of the sculpture which has
been entered for competition for the
prizes of the exposition.
Success has also attended the eff
fort of Commissioner Peck to secure
desirable space for exposing the ex-
hioits of American pomology. A
building of large proportions has been
allotted to the United States, and the
stars and stripes now float over it.
Fresh fruit will be placed there on
the arrival of each steamer from
America, and the building will con-
tain all American products from
Maine to California.

AS TO TRUSTS.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEVER TOOK
ACTION AGAINST THEM.

Voted Against G wing Power to Congress.
to Controt Them - Passed the sugar
Schedule ot Wilson BiiI In the Interests
of tho Big Sugar Trust.
In Brooklyn, the other day, a Nc
kinley man was told by a Bryan man
that the Republican party was in favor
of trusts, and that the Democratic
party had always worked against
them. The Mckinley man replied
that the Democratic party had never
taken any action against trusts, but
had, on the other hand, voted in favor
of them in the lower house of con-
gress on May 81 last.
The Bryanite wanted to know how
that was, and was told that the Re-
publicans had before the house a pro-
posed constitutional amendment which
would grant the national government
power to go into any state in the un-
ion and control and abolish all un-
lawful combinations. This resolution
was defeated, as it required two
thirds vote, and the vote stood 154 for
it and 131 against it, only two Repub-
Democrats favoring it.
To this statement, the Bryan man
replied that no such bill was ever pre-
sented by the Republicans, and further
that congress had no power to pass a
constitutional amendment, as that
could only be accomplished by three
fourths vote of the legislature of each
state in the Union.
The Mckinley man, in the face of
this fiat refusal to acknowledge the alb
solute truth, naturally desired to get
the exact record for his statements,
and referred the case to the New York
Press for its statement That paper
thus replied:
you are almost exactly right Your
opponent is entirely wrong. Constitu-
tional amendments have to be pro-
posed by congress to the people of the
various states. That Is what the house
Republicans sought to do with the
trust amendment and what the house
Democrats prevented them from doing.
"The Democratic party not only never
legislated against trusts when in con
troll of the national government, but
passed its most conspicuous legisla-
ton, the sugar schedule of the wilson
German act, in favor of the most no.
rious of trusts. 1t was confessed in a
senate investigation that this action
was preceded by large campaign
contribution from the trust in ques-
ton"

A NEW TYPEWRITER.
1t Produces Shorthand Characters
and Is Operated by Six
Keys.

Although typewriters for shorthand
have been patented, the drawback has
been that they wrote upon narrow pa
per, like printing telegraph. A stem
otyper, invented in Germany, employs
roll of paper equal in width to an
ordinary shorthand notebook. The
operator has six keys to tap upon, as
against 30 or more on am ordinary
typewriter. To read stereotype the eye
must become acquainted to new style
of type, based somewhat upon the
Morse alphabet in telegraphy, as it
consists of combination OF dots and
dashes. The marks of the six keys,
which can be tapped simultaneously,
can be combined in 63 different ways,
producing. an alphabet of CO letters.

APE DIES OF BROKEN HEART.
Separation from Nine. D'Ostn, the
Woman Who Trained Him
Proves Fatal.

With the photograph of his former
trainer, Nine. D'Osta, tightly clasped in
his hands, Ham, Jr., an ape with almost
human intelligence, died at the zoo at
Atlantic City, n. j., the other night.
His fame as a proof of the Darwinian
theory was extensive.
Ham, Jr., ever sice he was separated
from Nine. D'Osta, has brooded in deep
melancholy. All of the other day the
ape sat motionless and gazing at the
ocean he cried and moaned. Several
times his keeper placed number of
photographs of women in front of him
and he always picked out the one he
Lowell and passionately kissed it.
DR.. NJ. l.. Somers attributed Hams
death to a broken heart. Ham, Jr.,
dressed and lived like human being,

CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN.
Abram S. Hewitt Thinks Ability and
Industry VIII Bring Its Due
Reward in Business Life.

Abram S. Hewitt emphatically dis
agrees with Richard Croker's declara-
tion that the young man to-day has
no chance in business.
Mr.. Hewitt declares opportunities
for young men are as great as ever,
and competent men are needed in all
most every line of business. He be-
lieves young men will do well to put
their savings into stock.
Industries and enterprises are in
creasing and there must be men to
conduct them. Men are dying as fast
as they ever did. Who is to take their
places? Not the sons of Rockefeller
and Vanderbilt. They are going to
spend their fathers money. The COM
petent young men must fill the places
of importance, and there are places
for all such men"

BRYAN AT LINCOLN.



Just stick a pin in these words that
Bryan spoke at Lincoln a few days
before his indianapolis acceptance
speech, that ignored everything but
imperialism.
IF WE HAD OUR WAY ABOUT IT
WE WOULD HAVE IN THIS CAM
PAIGN AT THIS TINE THE SAME
QUESTIONS WE HAD IN 1896"
What's to hinder? If you think It,
why don't you speak it out--why do
you suppress the silver and free trade
and other features of '96 that contrib
uted to your defeat? Are you afraid
of them? You haven't abandoned them
according to this. To hold these views
and to suppress them is neither honest
nor fair, and it certainly is anything
but brave. What's the matter with
you, Mr.. Bryan?

p1sAppEAR1Ne-euN MOUNTS.
Gen. Wilson, Chief of Engineers De-
fends Their Use i'm Coast-De-
fensc System.

The controversy over the adoption of
the disappearing gun-carriage system
con tinues to engage the attention of
war department officials. Maj. Gen.
Miles has opposed the system both in
letters to the secretary of war, and in
statements to the senate committee.
There is going on at this time very
exhaustive inquiry into the coast de-
fense system and the conduct of the
ordnance department and now that
congress has taken. hand existing
conditions are getting before the pub
lie.
Gen. John NJ. Wilson, chief Of en-
gineers, in letter on the subject just
submitted to Secretary Root, says:
Up to the present time there have
been prepared by the engineer depart
ment and approved by the secretary of
war, projects Of defense for so localities
in the United States, which call for
total of AIS heavy guns in s, 10, 12 and
16 caliber, of which 22 are to be mount
ed in turrets, SO on non-disappearing
carriages, and 397 on disappearing
mounts, the latter being so per cent. of
the total number. For separate cali
bers, so per cent. of the 12-inch guns,
90 per cent. of the ten-inch guns, and
92 per cent. of the eight-inch guns are
designed to be employed on disappear
ing carriages.
THE value of this disappearing prin-
ciple was fully appreciated by the
Endicott board, and a reference to its
report, now nearly IA years old, will
show that an ample provision for dis
appearing mounts for heavy guns was
contemplated. The information avail
able in this Office does not accord with
the statement of the major general
commanding, that not a single disap-
pearing carriage isin use in any foreign
service to-day. On the contrary, dis
mounts are in considerable
use in England and her colonies, Italy,
and other countries.
If the disappearing type be aban-
doned it will necessitate either some
form of armored mount, such as turrets
or easements, whose cost is almost pro-
hibitive. 1t should be remembered, in
this connection that heavy coast gun
exposed above the parapet
affords good target. and that the pro-
Jectiles of rapid-tire guns can easily
place the gun and its mount hors de

Kiniev or Aguinnldo ?


Agoncillo, who was Aguinaldo's spy
at Washington, when that willy plotter
was preparing TO attack the American
army at Manila is now the Philippine
agent in Paris. The other day the
Chicago Times-H Herald asked his opin-
ion OF Brysn's speech, presumably
that Of acceptance at indianapolis, as
it was devoted to his friendship for
the Filipinos.
Agoncillo gratefully replied that he
considers. il. interesting in the high

cans ought 70 give their best attention
to his speech. | hope they will If
the United States grant independence
to my country it will have our eternal
gratitude, which can never be obtained
by McKinley's policy"
Something of the same sort was
spoken the same day at Madrid by
Areiola, the Philippine commissioner
there, with whom, however, the Span
ish government refuses to have any
relations whtever. Arejola Is awaiting
the result OF the Presidential election
in the United States, and declares that
il Bryan is elected, the Filipino leaders
expect the United States government,
Chat is to say, the Democratic party
to fulfill its pledges, and grant full au-
tonomy to the archipelago.

BRYAN WON'T ANSWER.
Dense Silence on Negro Disfranchiseincu nj
In the South.

In all his question asking, there is
one that no one has ever heard lisp
of from Mr.. Bryan, nor has any one
heard him venture within a thousand
miles OF the suggestion of a direct
reply to it, and that is, whether he
approves or disapproves the laws en-
acted by his party and for its benefit,
and the actions at the elections by his
party and for its benefit, in the South
ern states, that practically disfran-
chise American citizens, sons of Amer
leans for generations, for no offense
except that they happen to have a
touch of African blood in their veins.
When any colored man can get from
Bryan an explicit unequivocal, unmis-
taxable declaration against these
things done by and for the southern
Democracy, and his promise to use his
power in politics today and continu-
ously, as we'll as tine authority of any
position to which he may be elected,
to revoke and undo this multiplied in
justice to the colored voters, then, and
not until then, can any colored voter
consistently even consider whether
Bryan should have his ballot in the
states where Republican rule still per-
mits him to vote.

NO MUSIC IN THE AIR.
Lights of Literature to Whom Music
Was "Mere Impertinent
Noise"

Many distinguished men have been
totally deficient in the sense of music.
In the world of literature, where it
might have been expected that an ap-
probation of music would coexist with
sense of rhythm in language, this de-
ficiency is especially noticeable. Many
literary men have been unmusical.
Swift cared nothing for music. DR..
johnson was altogether insensible to
it, AT an evening party, on hearing it
said, in praise of musical perform
ance, that it was in any case difficult,
the great man blurted out: "Sir,
wish it had been impossible"
Sir Walter Scott, while he had a mar.
velous ear for verse and rhythm, had no
ear for music, In his autobiography
he tells us that it was only after long
practice that he acquired the power of
even distinguishing melodies. In the
Life of John Sterling" Carlyle says
that "oll music was mere impertinent
noise to him. and the same might
probably be said Of the sage of Chelsea
himself
Dr. Arnold OF Rugby, the greatest
schoolmaster Of the nineteenth cen.
tury, is another instance Of man of
rare ability in whom the musical fac.
ulty did not exist, ~ simply cannot
conceive" he writes, with reference TO
music, what to others Is keen source

used to say, "are my music."
