THE BATTLEsHIP ILLINOIS.

Of even greater speed than first sup
posed, the battleship Illinois is justly
entitled to wear the naval broom at
her masthead. Her official speed, as
determined by the board Of inspeo-
zion and survey, after considering the
tidal corrections reported is 17.45
knots per hour. Rear Admiral r. D.
Evans, president Of the board, Off
cislly communicated this information
to Secretary Long. This record is ID
knots better than that estimated i'm
mediately after her trial and without
taking tidal condition into considera-
ton.
Secretary Long is highly gratified
at the high speed made by the ILL
pois, The secretary believes in bat
tleship having as much speed as pos
Sible, taking into consideration hei
aruor and armament and coal carry
ing capacity. The province OF a bat
tleship is to fight, not to run, the Sec
rotary holds, and he has consistently
advocated a policy Of as heavy arma
ment and as much protection as Car
be obtained upon given displace
ment. The six latest battleships con
tracted for under Mr.. Longs admin
istration are designed to produce
eighteen knots speed, but by reason O.
machinery improvements no dlmlnu
ton of battery power or protection
has occurred. AS a matter of fact al
these vessels carry more poweru
batteries than the Illinois class.
Comparison Of the Illinois with for
eiRn battleships shows that takln
into consideration armor and arma

tonnage in foreign navies. Her spec

FIRST CLASS.
"Down Mobile" Entertained Well
Josh Spruceby Tonight.

The name of Lincoln j. Carter is a
synonym for realistic stage pictures
and ingenius scenic effects, and those
who went to the Grand Opera house
Wednesday night with the expectation
of seeing play nicely staged were
not disappointed. Down Mobile" is
interesting from the start, and, COM
pared with the productions that have
drawn crowded houses, was worthy
of much more than was given it.
The play is built around an incident
of the South before the war, and deals
with the plots, counterplots and tribu-
lations made possible under such cir
cumstances only. The play was nicely
presented, and there was not feature
to repel nor any of the amateurish
work that is sometimes in the new
road productions.
Tonight Uncle Josh Spruceby" will
he the magnet and the we'll known
possibilities for fun, that have made
this piece noted, justify the prediction
of big house.

NOVEL PLANS.
Prof. Orth'S New House on Market
st. Is Remarkable.

Prof s. =. Orth is building house
ut Market and Adams SITS. This state
ment may not be remarkable but the
house Is. The most conspicuous Of the
remarkable features Is the fact that
the front porch is inaccessible except
from the interior Of the house. 1t is
large and pleasant, but all enclosed.
No steps lead up to it, no walk ap.
proaches it.
The entrance to the house is a door
amidships at the west side where work.
men are building low porch or plat
form very pleasantly situated in the
shade of an old apple tree. The walk
from the street will pass around to
this side Of the house to reach this
door. Upon entering, the visitor will
find himself in a coZy little reception
room with doors opening from that
into the other principal down stairs
rooms, with the exception of the
kitchen.
There are many novelties in the ar
langement of the house. There is a
new feature in.its construction however.
which has been the subject of consider.
able comment. That is, that the
house appears to rest directly on the
ground. The foundations come only tc
a level with the earth and there the
siding begins. The floors, however
are elevated by wooden frame work

Typhoid Fever Definitely Traced

PROFANITY
Has Been Tabooed by the Hook
ing Valley Road.

The railways of the country have
been among the crusaders and suppress
sers of iniquity. They have insisted
on Temperance among their employees,
have acted against tobacco and
cigarettes and lastly have identified
themselves with a move to suppress
the well known lurid profanity that
seems to be one of the things neces-
sary to the running Of n railroad
Case hardened men whose boast it
is that they can swear train Off the
track or on again, if necessary, must
now choose their words or lose their
jobs.
The Hooking Valley road has given
notice that it will insist on the strenu'
Gus observance of the rule against
profanity. The managers make the
strange sounding statement that there
is no more need of profanity in the
railroad business than there is in the
dry goods business or in II bank.
Whether or not the employees who are
accustomed to venting their feelings
with curses at the least provocation
will agree with the company remains

insure warmth.
Prof. Orth planned the house him
self in every detail. 1t is marvel Of
beauty and convenience iDside-just
suited to its needs. though II might
not please everyone. The library, for
instance. Is very small room that
from his study chair the professor
may be able to reach any book In the
cases around the wall.
I'VE built the house to live in" said
Prof. Ortb, ''and followed our own
ideas--my wife and I. We do not be-
leve in placing hall and stairway
at the front Of the house, the most
pleasant part. We do not believe in
placing roof over the porch, because
about nine months Of the year we want
the sunlight which such a roof shuts
out; the remainder Of the time We can
make use of awnings. My reason for
giving the house the appearance of
resting directly on the ground is that
it improves the looks Of the place.
house is always more beautiful for
appearing to have grown upon its
site. The contractors tell me that not
withdrawing some unIIsual ideas I'm
building, which have ben followed, the
house is being constructed to wear
and last"
The plans for the dwelling are all
original with Prof and Mrs. Orth.
