HOLLAND A. GREAT CRAFT.

Of-WaF,

After dark at Newport the other
night the torpedo boats Morris and
Rodgers and the submarine boat Hol-
land were sent outside the break
water to make test of the Hollands
usefulness. The boats were to make
an attack and the tug Leyden was to
pick them out with searchlights.
The 'Leyden found the torpedo boats
1t will, but after the Holland had
plunged under water she was not seen
again until she. was found at her dock.
The Holland approached near enough
to the .Leyden, to fire torpedo and
then went within a short distance Of
the cruiser New York without detec-
tion. The .big cruiser could easily
have been sunk by a torpedo from the
Holland. The test proved the sub

A NEW HISTORY OF THE U. s.
Recent Work Which Is Up-to-Date
and Finely Illustrated.

There is being introduced in Ritz
vile, by book man, Ellis Standard
History of the United States, in six
volumes in handsome bindings. The
work is Of exceptional merit and the
price admits of every one having it.
The history covers period from the
year 400 A. d., to recent date. Besides
being well written and historically re-
liable, it is profusely illustrated with
engravings and colored plates of eli
macteric incidents in the various wars
of the United States. The colored
pictures are rich in appearance and
add much to the beauty of the book.
The marginal reference is another
helpful feature, and the work is in
dexed in the closing volume to nicely,
so that anything can be found in a
moment. 1t is a history for the stu
dent and a handy reference work for
the professional man or woman.
SOME PROMINENT OPINIONS.
The most comprehensive work ever
published on this subject. Besides
being a complete history, it has en-
cravings which alone are worth the
price OF the book. / consider it one
of the most valuable works ever Offer

Northern Indiana Normal school.

Peoples Standard History of the
United States" by Mr.. Edward S.
Ellis and have no hesitancy in recon-
mending it, 1t is what its title pur-
ports, a Peoples History" full and
complete in fact, interesting in ar
rangement, style and pictorial illus
,rations. 1t will be of the greatest
service in any family library, especially
for the young students,-C. X. Davis,
U. S. Senator, Minnesota.

SYMPATHY.

The heart of man is so constituted
that it does and must sympathize
with fellow creatures. That it is
made happy or wretched in beholding
pleasures or pains of those around
cannot be disputed. 1t is beautiful
trait in human nature. The princi-
Piles and teachings of fraternity bind
men strongly in the ties OF brotherly
love. The more impressive and inti-
mate the tie is which unites human
beings together, the more deep and
lasting is this sympathy and the more
sensitive are they to each others joys
and woes
No matter how aggressive or self
reliant, nor how modest or self-depre-
catory the individual, there is no one
who does not at some time feel the
need of human sympathy. The need
arises quite as easily from success
achieved as from the humiliation Of
failure. Has one had honors heaped
upon him? He longs for the congra-
tulatory hand-shake OF friend. Has
victory crowned his efforts? The per-
| sonal applause of the few weighs
heavier with him than the rising
l plaudits Of the unknown thtong.
On the other hand, is bne bowed
down with sorrow? The client touch
/ of friendly hand will yield balm Of
| consolation. Has defeat instead OF
| victory been his portionS The COM
| forting word from friendly lip will
go far toward allaying the sting Of
suffering.
ain the worlds broad field ofbattle, y
the free-born soldier of mature years,
however sound and hale, knows that
he must win or lose the struggle ac-
I cording as he wakes strong in tho fight
or fails in skill or courage. AS he
looks over the ground he realizes that
each is fighting as best he may.
Each is the arbiter of his own for
tunes. The world as whole is in
different as to the fate of each, 1t
gives its applause to the victor nd
turns its thumb on the fallen. ~

In speaking of "The Fast Maip the

"The Fast Mail" which has made
more money for Lincoln J. Carter
than any Of his melodramas returned
yesterday after an absence OF four
years. 1t is like all Mr.. Carriers pro-
auctions, differing from the others
only in til e mechanical effects which
are unusually realistic. The produc-
ton is complete with exciting situa-
tons and two large audiences sweltered
through the performance in the after
noon and night. The piece captured
the crowd, they held their breath over
the terrific speed OF the Fast Mail
train, and marvelled at the stage pic
lures of the wreck in mid-river and
the Niagara falls by moonlight. The
scenery is all new and the mechanical
devices are ingenious and clever. The
cast is an extremely strong one.
