TO MAKE % MILES AN HOUR.
Craft Launched at Nyaek Probably
the Fastast Vessel Afoaf.

New York, Nov. 13-There was launch
ed today at the Aver shipyards at Nyack
what VIII probably be the fastest vessel
afioat. The craft is the steam yacht
Arrow, designed by G. D. Mosher for
Charles r.. Flint of New York City. Ac-
cording to general report its guaranteed
speed is forty-two miles an hour, and
it is believed that under pressure even
this rate can be exceeded.
The remarkable speed which the Ar
row is expected to develop is not it's
only interest feature. When work was
begun upon the yacht last winter it was
said to be intended for Mr.. Flint's per-
sonaI use, and such is still its ostensi-
bic purpose 1t is rumored here, how
ever, that it is being built for delivery
to one of the South American republics
as a torpedo boat.
It's plans. so far as they have been
made public, tend to confirm these re
ports. The model is said to show an
armament of four rapid-f1re guns and
two torpedo tubes. 1t is also said that
which Mr.. Flint is president, is build
ing at its Bridgeport works the guns
that are to equip the Arrow Mr.. Flints
former service az agent for several of
the South American governments in the
purchase of vessels and their equipment
as nen-of-War is cited in confirmation
of the Arrows reported commission.
In appearance the new boat resembles
a thick darning needle. Its bow is drawn
out to a sharp edge, and there is slight
resistance to the water. On the water
line the yacht measures $50 feet, while
its extreme beam is only Il feet 6 inches.
The extreme draft is feet, and this
is reduced to 2 feet inches at the stern.
Its frame is of finely tempered steel, and
the hull consists of two sheaths of ma
hogany planking, between which lies
a canvas coating treated with cement
paint. The deck is made of aluminium,
with canvas-covered white pine flooring.
Inboard are accommodations for a crew
of twenty-five men and a private state
room for its owner.
The Arrow will have twin screws each
driven by a quadruple expansion en-
CINE. These are capable of developing
s 900 horse power. An electric light plant
that will provide sixty lights of sixteen
candle power and a searchlight Of 5000
candle power is also included in the
yachts equipment. It's coal bunkers will
hold eighteen tons, and its coal carrying
capacity can be doubled in case of an
emergency.
The total weight of the Arrow when
complete will be little more than sixty
tons It is estimated that on a coal
consumption of one and a half tons per
day the yacht can make sixteen knots
an hour. and that on a consumption Of
two and a half tons per day its speed
can reach twenty-five knots an hour.

son was positive in his statement that
the American league will place a club
in this city next summer, and that
Jimmy Manning, Of Kansas City will
have charge thereof. Mr.. Scanlon is
very enthusiastic over the Washington
outlook. and claims he has sufficient
capital to take the club entirely out of
Mr.. Manning's hands should a con-
tingency arise as would call for such
action.
Important news was hard to get out
Of Mr. Johnson. When asked whether
he was going to Baltimore for a confer

and his companions would go direct to
Philadelphia from this city. but that
they might return to the Monumental

for twenty round bout with Tim Cal

Sam H. Harris, Terry McGovern's man

was one week ago today that Sullivan
made a proposition to Harris at Seel-

Upon his return Harris and McGovern

Hutchinson Man Returns From
Klondike Country.
Has Been in Alaskan Gold Fields
For Three Years.
rs A COMPANY AGENT.
Reports Prospects Good For
Rich Returns.
Did Not Find the Winter
Weather So Severe.

Hutchinson, Nov. 13.-F'rank Martin,
who for the past three years has repre-
scented a Hutchinson company in the
Klondixe country, has arrived home. Mr..
Martin looks to be in excellent health
and he returns still a firm believer in
Alaska as a great gold country.
In his operations in Alaska Mr.. Mar
tin combined his interests with two
young men from Rice county. William
and Charles Goodwin. These young men
also returned to Kansas and are now
visiting with their parents at Lyons
but expect to return to Alaska in the
spring. Mr.. Martin has some claims
located in the Forty-Mile country which
he believes will be paying property when
properly worked. One of the claims
turned out rs cents per pan in crude
test.
Mr.. Martin says the stories told of
hardships and terrible weather in Alas
ka are greatly exaggerated, and that he
enjoyed a great deal of ideal weather
during his three years there. A prospec-
tor must have a good constitution, but
if he has, and dresses properly, he need
not suffer from severe weather. There
are still vast tracts of country unexplor-
ed by prospectors of which the Indians
tell great stories of mineral wealth. Mr..
Martin returned by way of Cape Nome.
He says the rush there the past year
probably more than eQualed the rush to
the Klondike in the year 1897. The har-
Dor looked like a scene at New YORK.
Mr. Martin will probably return to
Alaska, but will not stay three years at
stretch again. While the hard

among those who were interested in the
Hutchinson company, and will explain
in detail his three years work in Alaska

FAT AND LEAN

That is, babies: fat, they are

neither happy nor safe.
Apart from being entirely

one has much reserve of vital

little or no reserve.
The way to be fat and well
