kEARsARGE's NEW Gun IN PLACE.
Success of the Plan of Naval COnstruc-
tor CaDps.


The New York Tribune of today says:
When Naval Constructor Capps left the
battle ship Kearsargc In the Brooklyn navy
yard yesterday afternoon he had the salts
faction of knowing that he had successful
~ accomplished in five weeks, with an eX
penditure of $1,000 what competent naval
constructors declared would take two
months and cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
Reference Is made TO the removal of the
big damaged 13-inch gun from the lower
section of the double turret and the install
lation of a new gun in its place. The work
is not quite completed, for the part of the
side Of the turret which was removed must
be replaced, but the new gun was yester-
day forced into place through the narrow
opening. and the job was pronounced a
success.
At 10 O'Clock the 1OO-ton derrick of the
Merritt-C Chapman Wrecking Company was
moored alongside the battle ship. and
picked up the new gun, which had been
carried To the edge of the dock. Thirty
three minutes later the immense mass Of
steel resting the runway on the
ships deck. Then began the difficult and
delicate task of pulling 1t into the turret.
An iron cable was run from the muzzle.
where ii was cleated to the breach where
it was fastened to differential fall in the
turret. This fall has a pulling power of
10000 pounds and is worked by hand.
Slowly the big gun was pulled into the tur-
ret there being less than one-quarter of an
inch to spare at each side. 1t took four
hours to get the gun into place. The re-
placing of the armor OF the turret will be
simple matter.
When the accident to the big gun was re-
ported it was thought that it would have
to be taken out by tearing away the upper
turret and gun. A shipbuilding company
offered to do the work for 5000 Naval
Constructor Capps asked that the Kear-
sarge be sent to Brooklyn, as he thought
he could do the work for $40 900 When he
surveyed the gun he devised the simple and
effective method used.

HOUSE OF REFORMATION
Statement Concerning Reduced APP
preparation for maryland Institution.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
MARLBORO, Md, May %. 1901.
Referring to the report. which has OBJ
tanned wide circulation, that the inmates
of the cOlored house of reformation at
Chetenham, this county. were in danger
of suffering for the necessities of life by
reason of the action of certain state
thorities, Mr.. Joseph ]. Janney, secretary
of board of managers of the house of ref
ormation, has made the following state
ment:
-"Fearing that the statement in regard to
the house of reformation, that the point
of starvation is almost reached, may be
misleading and give concern to some par
ents who have boys there, l wish to as
sure the public that there is no danger of
this. 1t is true that the cutting down of
our appropriation by the city of Baltimore
is causing us no little concern and we
feel the necessity of the closest economy
in order to avoid a. deficiency in our
finances. yet there is no intention of short
enng the allowance of food. either for the
boys or for the officers. Economy will be
made to affect every other department be-
fore it will be permitted to ATTACK the COM
missariat- 80 -
THE cut of 90 per cent insour allowance
from the city and the decrease in the ap-
preparations to other ,feformatories is
serious mistake. but We feel hopeful that
the year 1902 will seeo ns- restored at least
to the old basis of financialisupport by the
city; If so. this temporary. embarrassment
car in time be overcome. As far as the
house of reformation is concerned, we feel
certain that those who were instrumental
in cutting down our appropriation never
paid a visit and informed themselves
of the needs of the Institution. But we
will in our defense say this: That the
jail board. through ITS own subcommit-
tees, must have known that we We're
worthy of support, for this language is
used in a letter to me by member of
that subcommittee: I am proud to have
been one Of committee to visit such an
admirable institution. Would there were
more like it
whoever is responsible for the cutting
down of the appropriation for the house
Of reformation-and no one seems willing
to shoulder tit is certain they could not
have realized the good work that is being
done there. Those in whom is vested the
authority to fix the amount of the peoples
money that may be properly employed in
the support of the reformatories should be
required to visit them personally, and, If
they are found to be worthy of support,
appropriate the amount that may be need
ed to maintain them adequately"

Table and Kitchen.
Practical Suggestions About What to
Eat and How to Prepare Food.

Forming q hasty conclusion from re-
view Of the average family dinner table
OF today. 1t would seem that pie-making
mas become almost lost art. But when
we meet such an array of facts as are
given from any one of the ''pie factories
In our large cities. we are convinced that
the popularity of this form of table deli
cacy Is not threatened to any great ex-
tent. And 1t is evident that the great
pie belt" has expanded very rapidly with
In comparatively few years.
The class Of people who demand pie and
are willing to pay for good pie are,
prislng as 1t may seem, not to be found in
the majority in farming country dis
trlcts, but. contrary to all hygenic teach
lngs, in our largest cities: and are those
VINO are chiefly engaged in indoor occupa-
lions and who lead partial if not entirely
inactive lives. We have been taught to
TOOK upon pie as a promoter of dyspepsia
ana Its kindred evils. and truly, he who
partakes of some of the pastries under
thls mead has just cause to rue his te-
merry; Tor there Is nothing more likely to
develop disposition to view the world
Through blue spectacles than a diet of pie
crust that is compound of sodden half
cooked starch and indigestible grease.
Pic-Makins Science.
With demand for this form of food
comes the necessity of Self-preSerVatiOn.
Therefore the product must be good, not
only in the sense that it is pleasing to
the taste but good as a food and sus-
tenance: as it, right wrong, constitutes
In large part the midday meal of a large
majority of our working classes. The use
OF pie as a dessert is not common in
former times perhaps. This is owing to
the TACT that many people realize that pies
are frequently compounds that are 100
hearty for ordinary digestion when they
follow substantial meal: and another req
son is. that until within recent years only
lard and butter We're available as shorten
ing in pie crust. and these were too often
or inferior quality and always unwholc-
some, and under the manipulation of an
unframed cook were made the agent to
create the common complaint, indigestion.
In this age of specialties, however even
ple-making has been reduced to a science;
ana In such establishments as We have
mentioned, the work is intrusted to ex-
pertS only; consequently the factory pie

scientific principles. and only good and
wholesome materials used. is less danger
Gus to the health of the consumer than Il

The fourteenth anniversary of the dedca-

this county, was commemorated yesterday
by all-day services. Addresses We're deliv-
cred by Revs William H. ScheIl and Fred
erick d. Power of Washington, and j. A

is in a fiourishing condition. Rev. J. A.
Hopkins, who is also in charge of the
church at Rockville is it's pastor.
Mr.. William H. Magruder, one of the old
est citizens in this section of the county
died last night of general debility at his
home near Beane. He was about eighty
four years of age. He leaves five children
as follows: Messrs. Warren V. Eugene B.,
John II. and Misses Susan and Lillian Ma

Mr.. William c. Riggs Of this town left
today for Pittsburg, where he expects to
engage in business.

AT special meeting of the Rockville
town council, held this evening, 1t was de-
cided to proceed at once to repair the
pumping apparatus Oh the Towns water
works, which was badly damaged by the
recent fire at the electric light power house
An examination showed that the damage
was not as great as was at first supposed,
and 1t Is thought that the waterworks can
be placed in working order within two or
three days. Nothing definite was done in
regard to providing lights for the town
but it is said that an effort will be made to
get the Washington and Rockville electric
railway to light the town temporarily.
The board Of supervisors of elections will
meet here Tuesday. June 4, to appoint Of
fcers of registration. 1t Is probable that
the question of dividing into two precincts
those election districts Of the county that
contain more than 600 voters will also be
considered. In addition to Rockville dis
trict, which has already been divided into
two precincts. there are three districts In
the county with more than 600 voters

can orthodoxy today:
Question. What is the
chief end of prosperity?
Answer. To glorify the
republican party and keep it
in Office forever.
0. To what was the crop
failure of 1894 due?
A. To the Wilson tariff
and an imbecile administra-
ton.
0. What are we to think
of the damage to crops in
1901?
A. That it is the dispen-
sation of an a1l-wise Provi-
dence, intended to try our
faith and cultivate the grace
of patience.
O. What is a labor union?
A. In presidential years
it is a noble band of workers,
seeking the common good.
O. What is it in other
years?
A. A nuisance.
0. what is a strike?
A. When an election is
pending, it is the dignifed
appeal of laboring men for
the redress of intolerab1e
grievances, and Mark Hanna
sees that the employers give
in to the men.
Q. Why does he not do it
at other times?
A. He is too busy. :.
O. What is reciprocity? :
A. It is an arrangement
by which we invite other ma
tons to sell to us if they will
buy of us.
@. What is the protective
tariff?
A. The law devised to
keep other nations from SELL
ing to US.
Q. Then is not protection
inconsistent with reciprocity ?
A. No.
Q. why not?
A. The republican plat
form says it is not.
@. Is there any other rea-
son?
A. There is.
Q. Can you state it?
A. The republican senate
refuses to, ratify reciprocity
treaties.
Q. Is that for the purpose
|of keeping. reciprocity consis-
tent with protection?
A. No, it is for the pur-
pose of keeping bogus jewel
