"a submerged dirigible torpedo, in effect.
1t operates under novel and unprecedented
conditions, and every test Of il is pract-
cally a voyage of discovery. There is no
sense in discouraging inquiry into and in
Vestigation of any warlike instrument
with such potentiality OF destruction as has
been disclosed by actual experiment with
boats of the Holland type. These boats
will sail either awaSh or under water; can
detonate deadly torpedOes without dam
ger Of discovery or r%eprisal; remain under
water for many hours, or even days, ana
while entirely submerged are able TO cover
a distance of 140 miles. To continue TO
ignore such a masterful continuance for
putting hostile battleships out of action
would be mere obstinacy and folly, not TO
be expected from intelligent and patriotic
officers of the federal navy.
Within 4 few months there will have
been completed for government use eight
submarine torpedo boats of the Holland
type. These craft were designed, in the
view of administrative authority, to pro-
vide our naval experts and eXperimentists
with a submarine feet sufficiently large
to render possible the most exhaustive tests
Of capacity for naval ofense and defense.
The measure of usefulness and power in
such an agency of naval warfare is, OF
course, the result attained when the YES
sells are handled solely by officers and en-
listed men of the federal navy. In view of
the recent demonstration Of immunity from
physical risks during a long submarine
trip, the department experts should be en-
abled hereafter TO add largely 10 the sum
of knowledge in this hitherto untrodden
field of scientific inquiry and marine en-
deayOr.

NEW CAFE AND GRILEROOM.
They Are Opened to the Public at the
DenisOn Hotel.

The Denison grillroom and cafe were
thrown open TO the public last night. The
formal opening will take place next Satur-
day night. The Denison Hotel Company
has gone to considerable expense in ar
ranging this feature of the hotel. The new
department is situated in a room north of
the main entrance to the hotel. The deco
rstions of the cafe are in light red, pro-
duced at a cost of $500.
In the west end of the grillroom the pam
try and kitchen are located. The former is
located at the south end of the room. 1t
has been arranged especially for this pur-
pose. The large cabinet in which all the
pantry supplies are kept is made with glass
windows, showing at a glance the stock
of delicious eatables at hand. At the east
end of the room a corrugated tin roof COW
ers the large broiler; also the steamer,
where all the china is kept warm. The
broiler is heated entirely by artificial gas.
Every piece OF mechanism about the range
IS so made that by the turning of a screw
all the utensils TO be used by the chef are
at hand. There is also near by a steam
chafing dish, where oyster stews and the
like can be made with great rapidity.
In one corner of the grtllrOom, and built
several feet above the floor. is a quarter
to be stationed. Music is TO be one of the
features of the new cafe, Every after
noon from 4 o'clock until Z and from 10
p. m. until closing hours the orchestra will
be employed. Jack Hadley, a celebrated
caterer. is in charge of the cafe.

Alma f. KruEov Sues the r.. 8. Pat
tersOn Music

A title TO property will be established in
the courts by the fling of a suit for Alma
f. Krukow yesterday, by Taylor Groning-
er, as next friend. against the r. S. Patter-
son Music Company. to declare a trust
deed held by the music company a mort
gage on property in its possession. On
Aug. .. 1900, Miss Krukow's mother Dor
rowed $500 OF the Patterson Music Com
pany TO be paid in monthly installments Of
500 each and executed a trust deed for her
property to the company to hold for her
and her daughter. The contract provided
that the company should pay all liens and
claims against the property. n tax title
held by Mary +. Losey amounting TO
s. 1861 was paid by the company. Mrs.
Krukow also had another mortgage on the
property for $500, due in installments. When
she died she had received but 500 from the
music company and $3.50 on the other mort
gage.
The complaint sets out that the music
company has collected the amounts due on
the mortgages and is now attempting 10
dispose OF the property. claiming a title to
it. Miss KrukOw, as the neir, asks that
the trust deed now be declared a mortgage
on the property for the amount due her on
the unpaid payments OF the former mort
gageS.

1t was graceful and it was aristocratic.
1t won the heart of the man who had
risen from a rough miner to be one of the
great monetary powers of the West. He
gave Stokes an option on the Victorine
silver mine, which Stokes took to London
and Paris and sold for 100000. If that
was not the highest price ever paid for
horsefesh l would like you to name higher.
But Mackay did more for Stokes than
this. He made him his agent in the pur-
chase of the Bankers and Merchants
Telegraph Company, out of which Stokes
realized another fortune.
Had Stokes been as wise as he was
shrewd, he could have died a multimil-
lionaire. But he could not hold money.
In one way and another he gambled II all
away and died a comparatively poor man.
For what is 500, 900 and a batch of litigated
claims to one who has had millions?
PASSION FOR LITIGATION.
And speaking Of litigation, Stokes's pas
sion for it amounted to a mania. He loved
to fight. He quarreled with one friend after
another. He made more enemies and bit
terer ones than any other living man. He
always was in the courts. For years he
had Roscoe Conkling and Robert G. Inger-
soil on his pay roll as counsel. L would be
willing to take for my share the money he
paid either of them, yet they, too, died
far from wealthy. Perhaps his bitterest
fights were with his cousin, W.. Il. d.
Stokes, with whom he had a deathbed
reconciliation.
And yet the men with whom he battled
most had a sneaking liking for him at the
last. AT his funeral, so private that few
were admitted to the coffinside, the sin
cerest mourner was Cassius NJ. Reed, his
former partner, the man whose fortune he
had Suuandered.
stokes always was a marked man. AS
he grew in years his youthful beauty passed
away and he became but a wreck of his
former self. But his SnOW-Whlte hair re-
manned, and in his worn and haggard face
"a face which many believed to be that of
an opium ~fiend-could be seen the traces of
that surprising excellence which helped
will women. Up TO the last he was one Of
the sights Of the White Light district, and

FIFTEEN HOURS UNDER WATER.
Test of Submarine Boats That Should
Convince Navy Department.

Philadelphia Record.
Submarine boats are not in high favor
in the Navy Department bureaus, and in
many official reports the changes have
been rung upon their presumed defects and
manifest narrow range of usefulness in
naval warfare. Even after the Holland had
successfully undergone elaborate tests by a
crew composed of officers and enlisted men
Of the navy it was contended in naval Of
fetal circles that the experiments were in
conclusive, conveying no assurance that the
boat could perform sea service during an
extended period Of time. The toy boat could
go under water, it was admitted; but
serious official doubt remained OF the posi-
bility of remaining there for a number Of
hours with safety to the crew.
This point has been cleared up by the
recent demonstration of submarine work
and endurance on board the Fulton, one
OF the recent constructions OF the Hol-
land Company. This craft, with six men
on board, including Rear Admiral Lowe,
retired, and Lieutenant Macarthur, of the
navy, remained submerged in Long island
sound from 7:3O D. m. last Saturday until
1890 a. m. on SU~nday-ffteen hours in all.
The compressed air in the boat was not
drawn upon for fresh supplies, nor were
the air valves opened TO let out foul air
from the boat. The six men were perfectly
comfortable, and with a sufficient supply
OF provisions might have remained under
water until the entire reserve supply Of
air-enOugh TO last for many ~WeekS-had
been exhausted.
1t does not follow, OF course, that the
absolute value Of these miniature sub
marine craft has been demonstrated con-
clusively by this Interesting experiment.
Via does follow, however, is that bu-
reaucratic opposition TO them must find new
and stronger grounds OF ~antagonism IL the
original purpose OF keeping them on the
naval list Is 10 be persisted in. Here Is
practically a new weapon in naval warfare

OF the ablest and most polished and cul-

years he has been a recognized leader at
the bar. Mr.. Cummins was elected by the
largest plurality ever given any Governor
of that State.
"a majority OF the Democrats of lows
are anti-silver men" said Mr.. Picket yes
terday. THE old-time Democratic leaders
were never in sympathy with the silver
movement. When the party took up the
silver question many of the leaders ceased
to be active in the party. They are now
gradually getting back into the ranks.

Pickett points out that but one lodge can
be organized in any one city, and a lodge
cannot be established in a town of less

Pickett continued. that the order has
grown strong and vigorous. and the lodges
are maintaining a higher personnel. There
