port at the next meeting of Council.
AS the Water Department claims
control of the lower half of the build
ing at Sixth and King streets on both
the first and second floors, the Board
of Health may be ordered to vacate.
and it may be necessary for Council
to provide new quarters for that body.
Some OF the members of the CON-
mittee give as a reason for its action
that they do not desire further inroads
made into City Hall Park.

BATTLESHIPS MAY Be MODERNlzED.

Washington. April 19.-With a view
to increasing their efficiency, the Navy
Department is considering the adviea-
tility of undermining the battleships
Oregon, Indiana and Massachusetts,.
These vessels may be equipped with
superposeo turrets, il the recommended
tions of some of the memb ers of the
Board OF Construction are adopted. In
altering these ships, it is desired by
the board to remove q most serious de-
feet in their designs The vessels are
equipped with circular turrets, and
when their ID inch guns are pointed in
the same direction they heel to such au
eStont as to expose their unprotected
hull below the armor belt: At
Under the plan which will be given
consideration by the Board of Con
struction, it is proposed to remove the
four quadriateral turrets, accommodate
ing two 2 inch guns each, with which
each ship Is equipped, and to install
two elliptioal Sinch turrets on top of
13-inoh turrets, thus giving each ship
superposed turrets. Careful determine
tion of the. position of the S-inch
turrets will permit a balance, which
will prevent the heeling now con-
sidered so objectionable. The new bat
terry arrangement will permit the adj
dition of formidable row Of q and
5-inch guns.
Each member of the Board of Con-
struction has prepared plans for the
projected battleships and armorsd
cruisers. Though some OF the board
Think that halt should be called in
superposed turret construction, it is
understood that strong effort will lie
made to continue the system on the new
bSttleships. No turrets will probably
be installed on the armored cruisers,
which will be given homogeneous
battery of or finch guns.

MUST WE ARM AGAINST
CONTINENTAL EUROPE 4

Loodou. Eng, April 10. The Spec
tator tomorrow will discuss Tho Con-
tinent and America" taxing as text
portion of an interview with Ad-
miral Count Canevaro at Toulon, which
the Spectator believes has not attracted
the attention it deserves. Admiral
Canevaro, in concluding his uttersuces
regarding the Triple and Dual alliances
having given Europe 80 years Of peace,
said
This fact would, perhaps, lead
European nations to consider the possi-
bility and necessity of uniting against
America, Africa and Asia, as the future
Of civilization will require them to do
Ho.n
The Spectator does not consider this
the rash outburst of the imam in the
street," for Admiral Canevaro has been
italian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Ellis utterance," the Spectator will
say. corresponds exactly with that of
Count Goluchowslzi (Austro- H ungarian
Foreign Minister, and with all the
recent trend Of affairs. The annoyance
of the Continent with America, which
is very deep, is based upon three
reasons, the first being the dread, or
rather the conviction, that competition
with America is nearly impossible, her
wealth and energy being so great. Both
are employed, the Continent thinks,
to monopolize trade, and go control in
the end all the wealth OF the world, an
idea not without advocates even among
ourselves"
The Spectator mentions the giant
trusts and Protection, and refers to the
Americans as mot scrupling to COM
mence quick and severe reprisal IL
European governments fence them off
with tariffs
THE second reason, the article will
say, is that America is sadly in the
way liz Asia. The whole action Of tire
Washington government in the Chinese
muddle points to the conclusion that,
although the Americans took the
Philippines, they are not willing to see
any but native Powers in control Of the
richest countries of Asia.
1.-The third reason Is America q atti-
tude in South America. She will neither
take it nor let anybody else. The total
result is bitter dislike of America,
mixed with dread. Our object is only
to awaken the Americans from an illu-
sion, to induce them to increase their
fleet and to persuade them to think
steadily out what they are doing. They
may rely upon i. that the Continent
will lose nothing by want of planning.
and that when the alliance against
America, Of which Admiral Canevaro
talks, is transmitted into facts, it will
be full grown and full armed"

DELAWARE M. E. CONFERENCE.

Atlantic City, N. j., April 19.-The
feature of today's session of the Della
ware Methodist Episcopal Conference
was Bishop Goodsell's address to young
men Just entering the conference. His
remarks were practical and impressive,
as we'll. The bishop insisted that
loyalty to the doctrines of his church
is one of the primary factors In the
equipment Of o successful ministerial
career, although a pure Christian
character and close study of the needs
of his people are also important in
church work. The bishop addressed
his remarks to the Revs. w. j. l..
Hughes and j. M. Wilmington, who
were admitted into full connection.
The bishops views on the race ques.
tion were given at some length, and
met with the hearty appreciation of
the conference. The Revs. j. s. Holly
and J. Ascot were supelannuated at
their own request. Presiding Elder
Tindley of the Wilmington district,
presented his report, and Or. Carroll
of the Missionary Board made an able
address.
Salisbury, Md, was selected as the
next place Of meeting.

sWEETnEARrs AND WIVES.


II sweethearts were sweethearts always,
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half SO pleasant
In the mingled draught of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and bushes
When the wife has frowns and sighs,
And the wife's have wreathful glitter
For the glow Of the sweethea.t's eyes.
II lovers were lovers always,
The same to sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for future of Eden
The joys of this checkered life?
But husbands grow grave and silent,
And cares on the anxious brow
Oft replace the sunshine that persisted
At the words of the marriage vow.
Happy is he whose sweetheart
Is wife aud sweetheart still
Whose voice, as of old, can charm;
Whose kiss, as of old, can thrill;
Who has plucked the rose, to find ever
Its beauty and fragrance increase,
As the flush OF passion is mellowed
Ia loves unmeasured peace;
Who sees in the step lightness;
Who finds in the form grace;
Who reads an unaltered brightness
In the witchery of the face,
Undinmed and unchanged. All! happy
Is he, crowned with such life,
Who drinks the life, pledging the sweetheart
And toasts In the sweetheart the wife,

some OF the birds which are badly hurt
but keep flying until they fall dead.
In some instances the flight will be for
a hundred yards headlong, as though
the shot had failed in its work, when
suddenly the pigeon will give peculiar,
distressing dive forward and pitch TO
the ground with every evidence of life
extinct.
With others the fight may Re con-
tinued for several hundred yards with
the same conclusion. Whether or not
the bird is suffering while making this
death flight is matter about which
even the sportsmen are divided.
While those in charge Of the shooting
endesvor to have each bird put out of
it's suffering as soon as possible, it is
not unusual for birds to fall, sorely hit,
80 far beyond the bounds that appar-
emily neither tho boys nor the dogs
have time to go after them, and at the
same time they are not in reach of the
bushwhackeIs. Such bird may show
evidences of life by the usual fluttering,
or it may even be strong enough to get
up and walk around in peculiar,
dizzy manner which touches the heart
of the novice.
The birds are by no means thrown
away Wnou Alllou. Ou hub tOulTdrY
they are carefully collected and shipped
to other large cities, principally New
York, where they appear upon restaur-
ant tables yariously disguised as SQUAD,
partridge, game pot-pie, &c.
Two or three large dealers in the
CITY furnish all the targets. Tho deal
ers raise many of their birds, but others
are bought from country people who,
send them to the city. Except IN the
manner of their death the birds are
well treated. The food supply is liberal
and the lofts large and roomy, condi-
tions which must be complied with,
for otherwise the birds would not be
strong, swift flyers, likely to fully
prove the ability Of the marksman.
While $500 birds were killed in Bal
timore on Thursday and yesterday il
was not an exceptional number for an
important meet and many hundreds
more have been killed on other grounds
in the same length of time.

THE WHARYEs OF SLEEP.
Edwin Markham.

Strange wares are handled on the wnarves
of sleep;
Shadows OF shadows pass, and many a
light
Flashes signal fire across the night;
Barges depart whoss voiceess steersmon
keep
Their way without star upon the deep,
And from lost ships, homing with ghosGly
crews,
Come cries of incommuuicable news,
While cargoes pile the piers moonwhite
heap
Budgets of dream dust, merchandise of
song,
Wreckage of hope and packs of ancient
wrong,
Nepenthes gathered from secret strand,
FardslE OF heartache burdens of aid sins,
Luggage sent down from dim ancestral inns,
And bales OF fantasy from No. Man s
Land.
