TEST OF A DEADLY TORPEDO,
FIRST Service Charged Witch cad
Missile Is Fired by Naval
Officers.

The first service-charged. Whitehead
torpedo ever fired by the United
States navy was discharged from the
torpedo boat Porter the other after
noon.
t is the usual custom to make
tests with torpedoes fitted only with
a dummy head, simply to try the FIR
ing apparatus and get the direction,
but in this case it was proposed to
fire from tube a torpedo ready to
do the deadliest work against an
enemy's ship.
The experiment took place on the
east side of Providence island, the tor
pedo being discharged from the Por-
ter, while the other boats acted as
guards to keep vessels out of harms
way. The torpedo was fired at a
distance of 600 yards at a rock which
was partially submerged. The ex-
pertinent was complete success. The
torpedo used was one which had
some experimental service, the cost
of the experiment being about So, 800.

Lisle Spencer, we1l-known young

quently ridiculed the belief of some
that dreams are true,"" but re-

what changed his mind. A few nights
ago he dreamed that gold watch
and chain, which he had lost last fall
while hunting, had been found by a
certain farmer living four miles from
Watertown. The dream, made so
great an impression on his mind that
he decided to drive out to the farm
er's house and investigate. Notwith-
standing his dream, he was sur
prised when the farmer produced the
watch and chain, which were covered
with rust, and which the farmer had
discovered in one of his fields only a

AMERICAN COAL TO ENGLAND.
Shipment of Fuel to BE Used on Enx.
lish Locomotives - May Mark
New Era in Our Coal Trade

The first cargo of PENNSYLVANIA
soft coal ever sent from PHILADELPHIA
to London has started on the Brit
lsh steamship Queenswood, char
tered for that purpose. It is said that
only two other cargoes have ever been
shipped to London from this country,
and these were sent from Norfolk.
Unusual Importance, it is said, in coal
circles, attaches to the present ship
ment because the coal is to be used as
fuel by English railroads, principally
the London & Northwestern. whose
expenses have been considerably in
creased of late by the high prices they
have had to pay for English coal. The
Queenswood cargo consists of 1000
tons, for which she will receive 16
shilllings, about 81, per ton freight.
Even at these prices, which will make
the coal cost in England sonnet thing
like 81 "a ton, the Pennsylvania prod
uct is said to be somewhat cheaper

STOP WORK ON ASTOR'S HOTEL
Police Interfere with His Plans to
Have 1t Rushed to Completion
by Night Shift

William Waldorf Astor recently gave
hurry-up orders to his men at work
on the eight-story structure occupy
ing the block at the northeast corner
OF Seventh avenue and One Hundred
and Sixteenth street, Harlem. He
cabled a few days ago directing that
the work be pushed with all possible
speed night and day. Accordingly, Mr.
Astor's builders began night work on
Thursday. During the early hours OF
twilight nobody paid any attention tc
the din that was being raised by the
workmen, but about nine o'clock-the
; hour when Harlemites usually retire
it was a matter of comment through
out the neighborhood that the men
were working overtime on William
Waldorf Astor's new hotel.
These comments were casual at first
and mild, but when the neighbors
were once cuddled up in bed and found
it vain to court sleep their indignation
began to rise to a point touched only
by the thermometer in the last few
sultry days.
I The whole neighborhood was
aroused, and they held an indignation
meeting in nearby hotel. They went
to the workmen and asked them tc
stop, but the workmen gave them the
Astor gaze. Then the Harlemites
sought the police, who stopped the
noise.

Over q Steamer.

The Savannah liner City of Bir-

on the way to New York port on
Friday afternoon was almost the
chance target for huge she'll fred
from the governmentprovinggr groun Is.
The shell, which may have been an
eight-inch missile, struck the water
within 100 feet of the steamship Oh
the port side, and, ricocheting,
skipped over the vessel amidships,
Kissing ominously in it's curving
fight. It was narrow escape, and
many of the passengers were scared
pale and faint. Capt. Burg and the
superintendent of the line are indig-
nant at the carelessness of the waz
officials in endangering human life in
such away. The waters opposite the
proving grounds are considered al
most dangerous. A schooner was
sunk by wild shell two years ago
A year ago a Morgan liner was al.

Miss Strotter was prompt in reach
ling the French line pier. She was there
fully an hour before sailing time. So
also were two trunks, her valise and
her steamer chair. Miss Strotter had
come from the west on Wednesday.
She had stopped at the Greenwich
Street hotel. gss, s...a 9zs.s.e5.
It was not until just 80 minutes be-
fore sailing time that she discovered
the one article indispensa BILE to the trip
was missing-her ticket. A messenger
was passing. Miss Strotter hailed him
and sent him post haste for the ticket.
She told him just where it could be
found-on the top Of herdressing table.
The hotel was only three blocks away.
| IS minutes Miss strotter grew anxious
and almost ran back to her hotel. She
met the returning messenger at the
door. The ticket could not be found.
She dashed by him to her room and
searched every corner in it. :. Hi :....,
1t was ten minutes to sailing time.
She was in despair. She had begun a
fresh search of the room, when she
heard voice say:
you're a fool; you're fool.''
1t was the voice of parrot that had
the range of the house at certain hours.
He was perched on a shelf, and under
one claw was the missing ticket. He
flew away as she rushed at him, but
she got the ticket and ran back to the
pier.
La Bretagne was Just backing into
the stream and Miss Strotter will have
to take passage on the next ship sailing.

LOVES L. J MISS AsTOR.
The True Inwardness of the Milne
Astor Affair.
William Waldorf Looks Not with
Favor on Sir Berkeley as a Som
in-Law and Seeks to Dis
courage Him. sss 80

It has been discovered that there is
an entirely new phase to the contro-
versy between William Waldorf Astor
and Sir Berkley Milne. The. real rea-
son for Mr.. Astor requesting the baro-
net to leave his house is because Sir
Berkeley wishes to marry Pauline As
tor, the only daughter of the former
American. .... .zs j. u:
Miss Astor, in fact, was responsible
for Sir Berkeley's presence at the party,
having personally invited him, without
the knowledge or approval of her ia
ther. It is now said that "a duel may
ensue, or else complete reconcilia ton.
" Mr.. Astor is at Marienbad and Sir
Berkeley has gone there post haste.
Friends of both men say that it is more
than likely that the two will fight, as
they are both very obstinate and both
splendid swordsmen.
Miss Astor made the acquaintance of
Sir Berkeley Milne last winter at a
theater party. A great impression was
made on both sides at the first meet
ing and in due course of time the baro-
net asked Mr.. Astor for his daughters
hand. The story runs to-day that Mr..
Astor not only declined to allow the
Englishman to we'd the young lady, but
deliberately insulted him. Neverthe-
less, the pair met frequently, and quite
a number of friends of both arranged
dinner and theater parties for the ex-
press purpose of giving them an oppor-
tunlty to continue their romance. At
all these entertainments the pair were
invariably placed side by side and their
interest in each other grew percep-
tibly.
Mr.. AstOr, when he heard of his
daughters attachment for Sir Berkeley
Milne was exceedingly furious and con-
fided to great many friends that he
had higher aspirations for the young
lady. The quarrel of the two men
over the hand of Pauline Astor c~me
when the father ordered the lover from
his house and insulted him in his news
paper next day.
Sir Berkeley Milne said that he had
- been invited to the Astor musicale by
the countess of Orford His friends now
say that this was not so, but in order to
protect Miss Astor he used the name
OF the countess with her consent, to
account for his presence at the func-
ton.
