OPPOSED TO IRON SHIPS.

Naval Officers Long Doubted the Prac-
. ticability of These Vessels.
Naval officers were the most violent
opponents of ir@ ships,''. observed a
well-known naval officer to Wash
ington Star reporter, and fought
their introduction ein every way pos
sible, but the iron ship got the best
of it in the long run. Farragut and
hosts of other officers refused outright
to sail in an iron ship,s and loaded
down the records of the navy with
reasons why an iron ship would not
take the place Of the wooden ship. It
is interesting now to read these old re-
ports in view of>the fact that there are
practically no woodan ships left. They
argued and proved to their own: satis-
faction, too, that the iron ship would
be too cold in winter and too warm
in summer; that it would sweat and
give everyone who rode in it .rheuma-
tism and dozens of other diseases. Ex-
perience has shown every one of the
objections to be without foundation.
The people who forced the iron ship
on the navy were landsharks in every
instance. They knew little about the
sea themselves, but just the same they
thought it would be an Improvement
on the wooden ship, and they were
right about it, The only thing that I
can compare it to was the opposition
to the elevated railroads in New York

FEARS WOE FOR NEW YORK.

Man Predicts tho City VIII Cavs In
from tho Weight of skysorapers.
There was nothing about him to in
dictate the crank, says the New York
Mail and Express. He was neatly but
not fashionably dressed, and his good
natured countenance was of the corpu.
lent order. He glanced reflectively out
of the rear window of a Third avenue
cable car at the tall buildings along
Park row and Broadway and for a
moment looked serious "Too much
weight" he said to fellow passenger
beside him, nodding his head in the
direction of the buildings. "Too much
weight entirely. People don't seem to
realize that the lower portion of this
city is only crust Of rock, with water
of great depth beneath it. They keep
putting. up building after building of
great height and weight, and some day
there's going to be the greatest catas-
trophe Of the ages. The whole bloom
ing lower part of the city, or a good
portion Of it, will cave in under the
enoromus strain put upon it by these
skyscrapers, and the loss of life and
property will be incalculable. Just
{ hfnk Tof the weight that crust has to
sustain: Millions of tons of iron ar.
irving here every year to be used for
Orders and !rafters. Millions of tons
of; brick and mortar are used in con-
structing the buildings, to say nothing
Of marble, granite and other kinds of
stone, and all piled upon that frail
crust of rock, which must give way
some day under the strain. Then
there's the bridge, too. It can't last
/ forever. Some day it is going to break
down under the additional strain put
upon it by the trolley and steam cars
now running SO Brooklyn. Imagine
the scene at a Iush hour some night
trolley cars on both sides laden with
people; the promenade crowded and
trucks in a steady stream. Suddenly
one, of the cables gives way. The 9th,
er, unable to stand. the strain alone,
also parts, and people, cars and
trucks are dumped into the river
like a. shovel. of coal into a
bucket. Oh, it's Bound to come, I tell
you. Then there's another big up
heaval that threatens this city. BY the
time the. next mayoralty campaign
comes around the people Of this city
are going to be treated to a sensation
such as they never had before. They
will see to what extent vice and cor
ruption has been practiced -and-what,
do you. get off here?' I'm sorry" +

THE FLAMING ARROW,
At the Grand Opera House. st. Pa,

At the Grand Opera House. st. Paul.
The story of the drama told in "The
Flaming Arrow" to be seen at the
Grand the coming week, thrills with
stirring incidents, not of the hair
raising kind, but of natural and in
terestinz dramatic situations. White
Eagle, young civilized Indian, played
by that graceful and physically hand
some actress Go Won Go Mohawk, re-
turns to her home and tribes in the
far West with knowledge of the pow
err and greatness of the White Man,
whose advancements i'll the march of
civilization have pushed onward until
a conflict for supremacy with the red
man is inevitable. A council of war
is held between the Indians and army
officers, in which the former, led on
by rascally Spaniard and treacher-
GUS lieutenant go on the war path.
The daughter of Col. Fremont is cap
tured by the Indians; who attempt her
life, but are frustrated. Her. rescue is
successfully accomplished by her low
er, White Eagle, with the aid of the
horse, Wango, his almost inseparable
companion, which .dashing into the
midst of the astonished and amazed
Indians, scatter the fire-brands with
we'll directed kicks, while White Eagle
cuts the thongs that bind her to the
stake, and throwing her insensible
form over his shoulder, and leaping
upon his horse, dashes away before
the astonished savages recover from
their bewilderment. The men and
horses are but incidental to a thrilling
love story, revenge, loyalty and ad-
venture, and is a remarkably truth
full portraiture of the earliest scenes
enacted upon our Western frontier
during those exciting times, when the
daring and tireless soldiers brave I'M
known hardships, and blazed a path
across the plains for the hardy pion-
GERS to follow.
