HOLLAND A GREAT CRAFT.
gerOus Enemy for Man
Of-War.

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 S
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
at 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 a torpedo and
then went within short distance of
the cruiser New York without detec-
tion. The big cruiser could easily
have been sunk by torpedo from the
Holland. The test proved the sub
marine boat to be the greatest thing
in the American navy.

ABOUT MISS QUITO.
Government Issues Bulletin Re-
garding Her Habits.
New Jersey Branch of Family Not q
Circumstance to Her Alaska Sis
tcrs-Hnve Taken to Travelling
on Trains to DistnntP Points.

The department of agriculture is
about to issue bulletin prepared by
Entomologist l.. o. Howard, on the
mosquitoes of the United States. 1t
discusses their structure and biology
and indicates the difference in all
stages of existence between the kinds
of mosquitoes that transmit malaria
and those that do not, and also dis
cusses the subject of remedies.
Among other things the bulletin says
that since the opening up of the gold
fields in Alaska and the great influx
of miners and traders. knowledge of
the abundance and ferocity of the
Alaskan mosquitoes has become wide
spread and government surveying
parties in starting for Alaska for
their summers work are in the habit
quito bite remedies. Those who were
in Alaska the preceding year always
state that they never experienced or
even imagined anything in the mos
quito line quite equal to those found
in our northern territory, Mention
ing the reputation of New Jersey in
connection with mosquitoes, the bull
letin says there is a constant carriage
inland from the marshy coast of very
many mosquitoes. the railway trains
seeming to be the most important
mode of conveyance. Many of the
cars contain mosquitoes by the hun
dreds. In this way even mountain re-
sorts will get their supply of lowland
mosquitoes, and with the improve
ment of railway service and the in
crease in the number of through cars
the danger is constantly increasing.
The source of supply to distant points
where mosquitoes are ordinary rare
is thus kept up.
About 25O species of mosquitoes are
known, of which only about 30 have
been found in the United States The
report says that of the remedies in
use in houses the burning of pyreth-
rum powder and the catching of mos
quitoes on the walls in kerosene cups
are probably the best, next to thor
ough screening and mosquito bars
about the bed. The remedies for bites
mentioned are glycerin, lump o.
indigo and household ammonia.

BURIED TREASURE FOUND.
Gold. silver and Copper Coin I'm
earthed by WOrkmen on site
for New York Hotel.

In the work of excavation for the
foundation of the new Willard hotel
at Washington, the workmen have un-
earthed lot of gold, silver and cop
per coin, silver watch a number of
metals and relics of perhaps former
and long forgotten guests of the cele-
brated hostelry, and a number of keys
10 the doors of guest rooms, when
Wizards hotel was known as the
mansion House" way back in the
sos.
The first intimation that anything
of value was buried in the cellar of the
historic old building was when John
Washington, colored. turned up key
to room 1903. according 10 the brass
tag, which also bore in addition TO he
figures the words Mansion House"
a few moments later Washington
turned over number of coins, He
stopped digging and examined his
"hnd." After considerable rubbing he
discovered that he had two silver half
dollars. three quarter dollars. num-
Der of dimes, nickels and coppers; in
all about So worth of American money.
Fellow-workmen soon caught on"
to the fact that Washington had
"struck it. rich" and the picks and
shovels were soon working in lively
fashion where Washington had been
plodtling away alone for several hours.
In a short while silver watch was
unearthed along with several SIS and
$40 gold pieces, a number of foreign
coins, and 20 or more keys TO the
rooms of the old Mansion House.
About this time heavy rainstorm
occurred, but in spite of the downpour
of rain the men refused to quit work
but with pick and shovel kept hard at
it digging for buried wealth.

PASTORS FOR SHIRT WAISTS,
Cincinnati Clergymen Favor Conn
Portable Summer Apparel
for Men.

With scarcely an exception Cincin-
natl (o) clergymen favor shirt waists
for men and are not averse to having
them worn in church. Rev. w. ID.
Holt, of the North Side Baptist church,
said:
II would be glad to see the men at
church in shirts without suspenders.
The shirt-waist idea is reasonable,
and l will support any reasonable
plan that will bring men to church" /"
Rev. S. s. Ailman, of the Fifth Pres.
byterian church, said: "A preacher
might as well talk to dummy as try
TO make an impression on man swell
tering under coat and vest in a pew"
"It's a sin, this business of wrap
ping up in summer as if we were freez-
ing, and then saying we can't go to
church because it is too hot, said Rev,
A. NJ. Harvuot, of Central Christian
church.

BEES STAMPEDE A, FUNERAL.
sting Horses Attached to the Hearae
and Cause n COmmo-
tion.

AS the hearse containing the body
of James Bracken, formerly of New
Albany, was driven into the rural
cemetery near Bradford, Harrison
county, Ind. one of the horses at
tached to it trod on nest of humble
bees. For u few minutes there was a
lively scene. The angry bees
swarmed from the nest and it at
tackled everything and everybody in
sight. They stung the driver of the
hearse until he was blinded and fled.
They attacked the pall-bearers around
the hearse and drove them away. The
widow and the mourners in the car
riages following were victims of the
insects activity. The attending min
lister was stung by two of the bees
and many of the attending friends
were driven from the cemetery.
The horses attached to the hearse
were the first to feel the vengeance
of the bees and were stung so badly
that they ran away, but they were
caught by the committee of Hope
lodge of Odd Fellows of Louisville,
KY, of which Mr.. Bracken had been
a member. Just as the hearse and cof-
fin were about to be overturned. Aft
er a vigorous fight that lasted fo1
half an hour the bees were driven
away, the coffin taken from the hearse
and the body laid to rest.

CLOCK STARTS WITH NATION.
Bought July 4. I77U, II Has Recorded
the Flight of Time Ever
since.

A clock that has ticked out each
second and each minute of the exist
ence of the nation is owned by A. G.
Egbert of Poplar Bluff, Mo. This old
timepiece. which stands nearly eight
feet in height. with wooden wheels,
still ticks away and records every
passing moment as faithfuny as it did
on July, l776, when it came into the
possession of Paul EgDert at Tren-
ton, n. j. The clock has kept pace
with the events of the nation. 1t
may truthfully be said that its duties
commenced wnen the thirteen origi-
nal states threw off the yoke of OPP
preston and the United States was
born, for its first owner, Paul Egbert,
was witness of the signing of the
declaration of independence, and to
commemorate that event he purchased
the CLOCK as an heirloom to be handed
down from the generation to genera
tion. That same day the tmepiece
commenced its regular duties, and
still continues TO tick away, never
falterng and never having TO be re-
paired. Upon Mr.. Egberts S death it
passed to his son, and on down to the
present owner, who is great great
grandson of the original purchaser.

not injured. but is still undecided as to
whether she will approve of Clews' in

gregate 465. of 742,s3O gross tons, OF
which 1875, of 450,0s9 gross tons, were

You are invited to attend q
Dispossess Party.
Franz Haberman.
At home at midnight.

Haberman invited all his friends
and the most distant relatives, and
bought pickles, cheese, beer and whis-
ky until there was not room in the
fiat for another edible.
The party began at midnight. The
overture was performed by German
band on the stairs. After that it was
a go-as-you-please between the profess
sional musicians and the amateurs
to see who could make the most noise.
Then the band went to the street
and serenaded Haberman. He sang
from the window. Its Sad to Leave
the Friends We Love-"
Next he made a speech on the beau
ties of not worrying, and wound up
with the toast: "To our landlord
who cannot lord it over u.s."
A grand display of fireworks ended
the fete.

MINISTER wu SHOCKED.
duct of the Maids ana Their
swains During n Hay Ride.

s. Minister WI Ting Fang disapproves
of the American straw ride. The Chi
nese envoy was guest at such func-
tion the other evening with his nephew,
+. Ung Choa Shee.
Four horses, decked with sleighbells
and plumes, pulled haycart half full
of straw. The minister had the seat of
honor at the head of the load. A dozen
pretty Cape May IN. J) damsels, with
their beaux, formed the party.
Minister WI was delighted until, by
the light of one of the japanese Lam
terms, he saw the arm of one of the
young fellows steal around girls
waist. In China this would be a most
shocking breach of the peace, and the
Chinese minister looked to see If the
girl resented the advance. Instead,
her hand found that of her sweetheart
under the straw and held it.
The further the wagon went the more
did the billing and cooling become epi-
demic.
Minister WI had been brought up to
different things. Taking the arm of his
nephew firmly in his hand he pulled
him to the end of the wagon and
nlighted. f..
I'VE need exercise and will walk
home" he said to the astonished peo
pie, and politely saying good night he
and the young man went to the hoteI
across lots.
The minister will say nothing as t<
his reasons for leaving the party. H,
only says the women of China do not gc
on straw rides.

Herr Franz Haberman, president of
"don't-worry-more ore-than-you-have-
to" club at Gutenberg, n. j., showed
his fellow members the, other night
how to comfort themselves when they
receive dispossession notice. They
had learned by previous experience
what to do when their mothers-in-law
left town. but the dispossess notice
formula was a new proposition.
Herr Haberman lives in Franklin
avenue. His friends went there to see
what his move would be. He had
nailed the dispossess notice on the
wall and sat laughing at it. The land
lord evicted Haberman because of the
many Publications in the fiat. He did
not mind Haberman's not worrying,
but he did mind his doing it in a
noisy manner to the accompaniment
of banjos and "growlers.'

Haberman. at will be nice thing"
Then he sent these cards broadcast:
