BRITISH NAVY DENOUNCED.
Lord 5eresforc Declares Whole AdmI-

Lord Beresforc Declares Whole Admi-
rally System Is Rotten.
London, June 21.-During the dis
cussion of the naval estimates in the
house Of commons today Rear Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, Conservative.
scathingly denounced the ineflciency
of the navy.
He declared the whole admiralty
system was rotten and led to great
extravaganza, and that there was
general want of efficiency in the navy
on which depended the existence of
the empire. This was the judg-
ment of all the commissions of in.
quiry and had been proven a fact. Ev'
cry increase In the number of ships
and every improvement In them had
been the result of outside agitation.
AS the result of such agitation the
British Mediterranean fleet was not
fourth stronger than year ago.
1t was remarkable, Lord Beresford
added, that both army and navy Off
GERS were compelled to threaten to re.
sign In order to get things rightei.
Great Britain had only 10000 naval
reserves instead of the requisite 10000
and the engine room departments
were thousands of men short. AS to
armament both the United States and
France possessed superior guns. Blum
ders would continue until separate
business board was appointed at the
admiralty and was made responsible
for the efficiency of the feet.

FOUR MEN BLOWN TO PIECES
BY Explosion In coInln9 Mil of a
Powder Plant.

BY Explosion In Coming Mil of
Powder Plant.
Johnstown, Pa, June 21-The coin
ing mill of the Cambria Powder com
pany's plant at Seward, 10 miles from
Johnstown, blew up yesterday after
noen. killing three men and injuring
five others, one of whom has since
died. Two others are fatally hurt.
The dead are:
j. B. Smith, of Seward. aged 40
years, married and leaves large fam

John Rhodes, of Seward. aged Ss
years, married and leaves large fam.
lily.
Charles Drover, of Wapwallopen,
Luzerin county, aged 35 years, and un-
married.
w. F. Bracken, of Seward, married
and leaves three children.
The explosion occurred as the men
were loading pot of powder on wag
on driven by Rhodes. Suddenly there
was an explosion and the flames flew
in every direction, the powder adher-
ing to the clothing Of the men, ignited,
burning into the flesh of the victims.
A strange feature of the accident
was the fact that Drover was able to
walk 300 yards from the scene OF the
explosion before he fell dead from
terrible burns. His flesh, like that 81
the other victims, was burned to a
crisp. The shanty in which the coin.
ing mill is located was ignited by the
explosion of the powder and was burn
ed to the ground, but the financial loss
is slight.

In Switzerland, a very quaint marriage
ceremony prevails. The bridegroom
dresses in his Sunday best and, ac'
companled by as many friends and rel
atiyes as he can muster for the fete
goes to claim his bride.
Finding the door locked, he demands
admittance, the inmates ask him his
business. and in reply he sollcits the
hand of his chosen maiden.
If his answer be deemed satisfactory
he is successfully introduced to mum
her of matrons and maids, some per-
hans deformed and others old and ugly
Then he is presented to some large
dolls. all of which he rejects with
scorn. amid general merrlment. The
bewildered bridegroom, whose impetu'
osity and temper are now sorely tried
is then informed that his ladyloye is
absent and invited in to see for him

Cheops lived nearly $500 years ago, his

trying to take in a simple gentleman
by imposing upon him a broken wind
ed horse for a sound one. The parson,
taking the gentleman aside, told him
to be cautious of the person he was
dealing with. The gentleman declined
the purchase, and the jockey, quite
nettled, observed, "Parson, l had much

you privately interfere in bargains be-
