ILLINOIS A FINE wARsHIP.
RuiIders, Test Trial Satisfactory to
All Who Were Aboard.

BuiIders' Test Trial Satisfactory to
All Who Were Aboard.
dispatch from Newport News. Va. last
night saws: The new battle ship Illinois
had her builders test trial today on the
Virginia coast under the most favorable
circumstances, with moderate westerly
winds and q smooth sea. The unanimous
prediction of those aboard, including ship
ward officials and naval officers is that the
ship is in every way equal If not superior
to the battle ships Kearsarge and Ken
lucky, which were recently turned out by
the Newport News Shtpbulldtng ana Dry
Dock Company.
The indications are that the Illinois boil
ers will steam better than those Of either
the Kearsarge or the Kentucky, and that
the new ship VIII show even peter speed
than the Kearsarge, Seventeen knots
speed Is the lowest prediction made for her
on the official trial, which will take place
probably in May.
This trial was to test engines, machinery,
boilers and steering gear rather than to
attain any high rate Of speed. and the tests
were most satisfactory. so well pleased be-
ing the company's officials with the ship 8
behavior that less time than expected was
devoted to the test today.
The Illinois has not been In dry dock for
more than a year. and her bottom Is ex-
ceedingly foul, being covered In many
places with oysters as wen as barnacles.
Resides the run was made at shoal. wa
ter. measuring ten and twelve fathoms
oniy while the official trial will occur over
6. course with fully fifty fathoms Of water.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks speed
Of sixteen knots was made at one time to-
day with only LOT revolutions, and when
the log was taken In 1t was found that
one of the blades Of the rotary had been
lost.
The Illinois left the shipyard this morn
ing at clock, the numerous craft In the
harbor greeting her with whistles as she
steamed out. The ship passed out Of the
capes before 10 O'Clock and headed south.
proceeding to point twenty-five miles be-
low Cape Henry and twelve miles OF the
coast Up to this the test of steering gear
occupied most of the time.
The Illinois was run back under moder-
ate forced draught for two hours. The
boilers and machinery met all the require
ments splendidly. The ship passed in the
capes again at half-past o'clock and
reached the shipyard before 8 o'clock. She
was navigated by Captains Foster and Bew
of the Virginia Pilots Association.
In speaking Of the trial General Super
intendent w. A. Post said: 1.-THE Illinois

Here is letter that has just come to our at

bronchial troubles. 1t is from Mr.. George ". Brown
Of So. Hanover, n. H., and reads follows:
Il have suffered with bronchial troubles for over
year; tried two doctors and have taken three or
four kinds of medicine none of which did me any
good. At times so boarse could not speak.
Then heard of Vinol. After taking three bottles

has built me up and given good appetite"
This is what Vinol always does. This is the way
Yino accomplishes its mission of doing good
VinOl, as wish every one to know, owes its
power of accomplishing the that it affects to
the fact that 1t contains the most wonderful medci-
wasting diseases as well as being In itself mar
velous tonic. These medicinal properties exist and
have heretofore been found only in cod-liver OIL
ViDoi contains these elements. For by scientific
process the necessary curative properties Of the
eodlfver oil have been separated from the fat and
grease which formerly made eod-liver oil prepara-
tons so Objectionable
As long as Vinol does not contain any Of the vile
smelling oil, and is prepared by combining the
soughtafter properties with delicate table wine,
it is most delicious and palatable preparation.

The showing OF the shoes
which will be proper for

We announce it for the ben
eft OF early buyers and those
who contemplate southern
travel who will have use at
once for them. The correct
footwear is also here in COM
plete assortment for shooting,
horseback riding, golhng and
other diversions at southern
resorts.
The raw weather of March
and the Indictment weather of
April demand footwear which
will defy cold and dampness,
and you will find such here as
near impervious to both as is
possible to make footwear.
The graceful styles we show
in heavy footwear defeats the
idea that such need be clumsy
and unsightly. Such footwear
requires no rubbers.
More attention is given to
children's footwear and to
the fitting OF children's feet
perfectly than in any other
store in the world, and we
know whereof we speak when
we make the assertion.
A whole floor is devoted to
the display and sale of foot
wear for the younger ones,
and most careful statesmen in
attendance - statesmen who
know the results of ill-ftting
footwear, and who are anx-
ious to see that the children
are fitted correctly.
People who live out of
town are informed that our
mail order department is fully
equipped to care for their Or
ders. Buying in this way can
be done as satisfactorily as
though you came here in per-

are not quite what is wanted,
should be returned. We shall

A. II. G. Gale, secretary of the Mid
dlesex Gun club of London, has pub
lished letter regarding an interna-
tional pigeon shoot, in which he says:
"It appears that our friends on the
other side are now anxious to try con-
clusions with the British, using the
shotgun and first competing with clay
birds. After this they will be willing
to shoot a series of international
matches against the British live bird
trap shots for any amount of prizes
suggested" After referring to the
terms of the challenge Mr.. Gale adds
rs comment:
"The important question first to be
determined is tl9t of ways and means.
The rules of the Middlesex club for
clay bird shooting will not permit their
taking the risk, even If they were finan-
cially strong enough to do so but 1t
struck me that it could soon be met by
pooling $4,000 or forming a syndicate
OF sportsmen who would take one or
more $50 shares. Mr.. Irvine, the vice
president of the Middlesex club, and
myself can already place $1,500 II,
therefore, only requires 10 shares Of
$50 each to be taken up"

manner the young man upset lighted

spread over his face, left arm, right
hand and body, inflicting serious in

This morning he was taken to the
Miners hospital for treatment, and a
message from there this afternoon states
that his condition is dangerous.
