The State Library.

Mrs. Epperson wants the people Of
the State to rally and upbuild the
State library. We must say we can
see no reason why the people of the
State should do anything of the
kind. The library is seldom used by
the legislators, and it is of service
only to the people of Nashville.
why should the people of the State
interest themselves in building up a
library for that city? What each
city and town ought to do is to start

WENT OVER A PREC|P|CE.
Mrs. Patterson, of Cold Springs, N.

Others Were Injured.
THEY WERE WATCHING FOREST FIRES.
One of the Three was Caught i'm the
Limbs of IA Tree, Whence She was
Rescued by Passer By-Mrs. Pat
terson's Daughter Has Several
Bones Broken.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, April 2.--Mrs.
Daniel Patterson, of Cold Spring, her
12-year-old daughter Jennie and Mel
lie Chase, IA years old, plunged head
long over the precipice below the
crest of Breakneck mountain.
Mrs. Patterson was instantly killed,
having fallen 100 feet into a ravine.
Her daughter, who fell like dis
lance, escaped death, though several
bones were broken.
Nellie Chase fell 15 feet into the
spreading branches of a tree that
was rescued unhurt.
Mrs. Patterson and the girls had
made their way 10 the mountain top
to view the forest fires which for days
have been burning across the river.
They made their way out to the very
edge of table rock. Below them the
precipice dropped sheer, and at the
bottom of the. ravine were piles of
sharp rocks. Suddenly Jennie
screamed: Help me mamma, am
slipping. Hold mel"
She stretched out her hands in ter
ror. The loose gravel and rock rolled
under the girls feet. Her mother
sprang to catch her.
Mother and daughter plunged over
the ledge.
Nellie Chase became frantic with
fear. She, too, had leaned forward
to help save her little companion
when she saw her danger. The sight
of the mother and child as they fell
from the dizzy height was too much
| for her. She lost control of her limbs
and fell forward.
Daniel Mccarthy, passing along the
road below the mountain crest, heard
scream, and looking up saw the
little Chase girl suspended between
the earth and the sky. Her clothes
were caught in the limbs of the tree.

the mountain, climbed the tree and

had told the man that Mrs. Patterson

Tor A Stronger Navy.
Energetic Policy Urged BY a Gov
ernment Official.

Among those who favor stronger navy
is Griscom Havey, an official Of the Wash.
ington navy yard. He was in New York
City last week and spoke as follows about
the present coDdition of the navy ::
g T1ere is some talk every once and
awhile, and particularly at present, as to
the adv'saoIliy OF increasing tie strength
tf our navy by additional fighting ships,
aud it is good, healthy talk We are, OF
course, constantly aiding new battles6ips
to our fl ct, but no at anything like the
same rate as our respons bihties as a nation
increase. The navy is not nearly strong
enough to protect our interests either at
home or abroad from attack by first class
p 1wer, end this is a fact which the navy
department well knows, but naturally does
not care to admit. We blindly imagine that
our navy is all that could be desired simply
because we smashed the Spanish feet three
years ago, but if we ever get into trouble
with 3 first class power, such as France or
Germany, the American people will find,
when, of course, too late, that too much
confidence had been placed in the efficiency
and fighting strength of our feet, and this
great confidence at present shown in the
ability OF the navy to hold its own is one of
the results of the Spanish American war.
We should like to be more certain, however,
by substantial evidence, that our feet is as
powerful, as efficient, as ready for instant
attack asit is credited with by the man in the
street-and it is only the man in the street
who thinks SO. There is no finer body of
fighting men ir the world than the sailors
who man our fighting ships. But in these
days, when our country has brauched out
into coloniziDg,. it is not enough that we
should have good fighting material. These
fighting men must be better trained, and
the machines in which they fight must be
more than equal to the work required of
Them. This IS not SO at present, and it is
to be hoped that President Roose velt, who
is fully aware of the condition of the navy,
and who is anxious to make it the most
powerful in the world, at least equal in
streogth to that of Great Britain's will not
be hampered by carrying out the policy.
"Some of the ahlest of our admirals admit
that the present training of our sailors is
defective, and although the personnel of the

Those Great Dangers I


In England and on the continent there is
group of miniature Bismarcks, and they
all write regularly for the reviews : merciless

every Imaginable clash of interests and give
the most sanguinary advice. "Here, then,
we at last touch the danger zone Of contem

"Without having given that much study
Il seems to me that it may prove rather
difficult to include these carriers in the class

them ia $500, and in most cases it is neces-
sary to get men who own one or two horses.
That is an important qualification"

A GREAT AND
GLORIOUS FOURTH
Florence Celebrates In Good, Old
Fashioned Style.
VERY FEW CASUALTIES

Florence FOurln OF july ceie-
bration was pulled off, with but
few exceptions, according to sched-
ule, and for whole day King Ju-
bilee reigned supreme.
The first event of the celebration
was to have been balloon ascen-
sion and parachute jump at 6
O'Clock Wednesday evening At
the appointed hour a big crowd
gathered around the open space in
front of the Fremont hotel, where
the big cloth bag was being in
fiated with hot air. Finally the
aeronaut grasped the bar of his
trapeze and gave the signal to cut
loose. Quite strong breeze was
blowing from the south, and the
big air ship started straight for
the hotel. Fortunately the ropes
came in contact with some tele-
graph wires, or Frazier would have
been dashed to pieces against the
brick walls of the hotel AS ii
was, he was thrown violently to
the ground and WAS quite serious
ly bruised. On the whole he had
lucky escape The balloon was
badly torn, but it was repaired
next morning and ready for sec
ond trial
AT sunrise yesterday morning
the people were awakened by
cannon salute, and at 8 O'Clock ar
rangements were completed for the
parade. At 10 o'clock the column
started, marching through the
principal streets and thence to the
city park. Following is the order
of the procession;
Peabody Military band
Woodmen of the World.
Odd Fellows.
Greeley Hose company.
Florence Hose company.
City officials
Officers Merchants association.
Industrial floats
Citizens.
Arriving at the city park the
mornings program was completed
by addresses appropriate to the
occasion. Attorney A FL McLain,
the Rev. Denham and Judge Chas.
d. Bradley paid fitting tribute to
the day and its memories.
The sports on the streets began
a little later than scheduled, or
about 2 O'Clock In the I00-yard
footrace there were four entries,
Nolan, Warner, Perkins and Wal
lace. The latter won easily and
in a manner that indicated his fa-
miliarity with the business. Per
klnS was second.
Ride and Morrison were first and
second respectively in the burro
race.
The 200-vard footrace was the
last event on the street. Four en-
tered, Chiriglion, Warner, Perkins
and Wallace Wallace again won
first money, with Perkins second
AT the park the program was
carried out as announced Shin
die, a former star in Denver ath-
letic club circles won first place,

Walker and Deering were the
victorious pair i'll the three legged
race.
The high jump was second
t.st of strength and skill between
Shindle and Donovan. The con
test was declared draw although
Donovan did the four feet eight
inches with less effort than did his
opponent.
The high dive was interesting
inasmuch as it was spiced with
danger Jack Clark was in the
river to rescue drowning boys but
he failed to catch the winner who

MASKS AS CHICKEN SALAD.
One of the Mysterious Uses to Which the Forbidden Bob Veal
 Is Put

Many persons who read from time to time of attempts such as are now being made by the state department of agriculture and the local health board to suppress the bob veal traffic wonder where all the bob veal goes to that is said to reach the New York markets, as they never see any of if One of the most common of the uses to which it is put escapes the atten- ton of the undiScriminating utterly That is its use as substitute for chicken in chicken salad, says the Sun.
 In the highest class of restaurants in which the chicken in salad k cut into reasonably large pieces. there is, of course. nothing of this sort done, But where the supposed chicken is almost minced. as it too often is even in good restaurants, there is gen crally room for suspicion of the substitution of bob veal for chicken. Several men were almost more pained than diSgusted not long ago to find themselves served with a salad of bob veal, with scattering of bits of chicken in it in Broadway restau- rant. The proprietor of the restau- rant has several places of refresh ment in town and his name has been held to be a guarantee of the quality both of the ediblcs and the drinkabies served in his eating places.
