Names of Bsttleships.
v York Commercial Advertiser.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Once more England is following the good
example set by this country. More or less
criticism has been directed at our Navy
Department on account of the method used
in naming our new warships, the complaint
being that by giving them exclusively the
names of States, cities and towns, with the
exception of the Kearsarge. all the hon
ored names of our ships of the past are dis
appearing from the roll. England has been
pointed to as setting a worthy example by
never allowing the name OF a ship once in
the navy TO disappear, whether the original
was British built or was captured from the
enemy. The reply to this has always been
that. while IL was an excellent idea to pre-
serve the sentiment Of the past, II was still
more excellent 10 give the people Of the
country a. so to say, personal interest In the
warships by naming them after the States
and cities. II is an undoubted fact that the
citizens of Kentucky, for mi take
more interest in the Kentucky battleship
than If she were the President, Constel-
lation or Essex. in memory or proud yes
sells of the past. or Guerrero or Mace
DOMAIN, in memory OF the ships that were
defeated by our own The wisdom of this
plan has appealed TO the British Admiralty,
and one of the newest and most powerful
cruisers is named the Kent. in honor of
the county which played SO mighty a part
in the destruction of the Armada. The
people of Kent, like the people in similar
cases in this country, have conceived a
great interest In the new ship. and are
already discussing the gift they shall make
TO her. A new battleship will be the
London, and fifteen other cruisers are
building which will carry the names OF as
many counties. The high-fown. mytho-
logical nomenclature began because one
first lord Of the admiralty prided himself
on his classical learning, and while Aga
mouth-hIing names, they are heardly APP
propriate 10 British men-of-war.

Variety mt the Empire.

A novelty in bicycle racing was given
yesterday for the first time in this city
in the show of the Merry Maidens' Bur-
lesque Company at the Empire Theater.
Three riders-Leonard Wilson, John Law
son. who is called The Terrible Swede,"
and Nick Howard-race around a track
which has a slant of seventy-two degrees
and is only ten feet in diamete at the bot
tom. The track is made of oak Stats tight
ly put together with iron Orders. The
Stats are arranged in sections, and when
placed together resemble a large bowl.
Howard who gained A reputation as a
dare devil rider by riding down the steps
of the Capitol, In Washington. does a num-
Der of tricks. In riding around the track he
looks as though he is flying horizontally.
Lawson and Leonard have a match race of
the Australian pursuit style. When the
three riders get on the small track. two go
ing IN one direction and the other In the
opposite, the exhibition almost skaters
ones nerves. One OF the riders is forced TO
the top OF the Stats. and he rides with great
skill within a few inches of the top.
Another feature OF the show, which is a
novelty. is the work of Harry Setback as
q bag puncher. With the regulation single
bag attached TO a platform he performs a
number of tricks. He then fastens another
bag a few inches from the floor of the
stage. aud. with the aid OF his hands and
knees. keeps time TO a lively tune played
by the orchestra. He also has another bag
supported from "A horizontal bar. and this,
by the swing Of the arm. is forced around.
making a complete circle.
The olio of the show is opened with a
number of new limitations by Fialkouska.
The Revere Sisters do tightening changes
in costumes. Leo and Chapman retain their
act.
The show commences with a burlesque
entitled The Merry Maidens' Trolley Par
~, In which a lumber OF good songs are
rendered by a big chorus. Nellie Hanly
sings when the Roses Bloom Again" as
sisted by the chorus. In the last burlesque
also a number OF songs are given. The
show Will remain all week.

IN NEW JERSEY.
Schools Suspended and Travellers I'm
able to Reach Their Homes.

NEW YORK, Feb. H.-Advices received
tonight from points in New Jersey show
that the great blizzard has been felt from
Bergen county to Cape May and from At
lantic City TO Camden. The latest advices
are that during the evening the storm
abated considerably, the snow having
ceased to fall and the wind having de-
creased in velocity. AS was natural, the
brunt of the gale, which approached the
dimensions of a hurricane, was felt by
the seacoast towns, but the interior cities
and townships did not escape. Travel by
roads was almost impossible. the railroads
were enabled to move trains only by the
free use of snow plOws. and street-car
traffic all over the State was stopped until
the sweeping machines and plows cleared
the tracks, about the middle of the after
noon. This applies TO the large cities only,
for in the smaller places the tracks are so
badly covered witt snow that they may
not be cleared for two days.
There was a general suspension OF the
schools in the afternoon, while the morn
ing sessions were only thinly attended. AT
most places heard from notices were given
that there would be no attempt TO hold
school tomorrow. Several trains were
stalled near Bound Brook for some hours,
but were released late in the afternoon;
Trains from New York reached Bound
Brook from two to three hours late, and
these with two engines attached. By. night
the situation was much improved, and pas
senger traffic on all trunk lines crossing
the State were coming in only thirty min
utes late.
The thousands Of people who make their
homes In the cities, towns and villages of
New Jersey lying within twenty miles of
New York city, and who are in business or
work here, suffered great Inconvenience in
the morning. For hours the North river
ferries ran irregularly and with small loads,
all the morning trains being late. Then. as
the delayed trains began to arrive. there
was a rush of passengers. Many people,
however, found II more convenient to stay
at home. and the usual crowd of shoppers
from Jersey was not to be seen to-day.
BY evening the situation for subuIbanites
was much relieved.

Seventeen Inches OF Snow and a Thir-

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-THE heavy
snowstorm which began in this section at

"RudoIph and AdoIph' at the Park.

German comedians, now together at the
head of a company for the first time, pre-
sent a farce, Rudolph and Adolph," by
Charles Newman, at the Park Theater.
They have begun their starring suspicious
ly, for they and their assistants are clever,
and the play is a smart rendering of an
old, ever-funny theme. Rudolph and Adolph
Dinkelspiel, brothers. are so alike that
their friends, and not even their wives,
can tell them apart. Their resemblance
makes trouble for them and fun for the
onlookers. Adolph is a ladies tailor and
Rudolph is a horse doctor, and the vari-
ance of their occupations causes still
further embarrassing complications.
The farce Is well acted and the members
of the company contribute songs and
dances. Nellie Maskell neatly character
in a house where a man has two wives
and there is a play-actress." The play
actress is Lottie Williams-Salter. and she
has the right spirit In singing two care

to Know Just what to Say" and I'm a
Respectable Working Girl" She also has
a song. so Much Depends on knowing

Boston the Storm Center.

BOSTON, Feb. 11-After an unprece-
denied stretch of clear weather, dating
back to Candlemas day, New England was
blanketed to-day with a foot of wet snow
and swept by a northeast gale. This on
slaught of the elements impeded traffic
and carried down the telegraph and tele-
phone wires, so that many important points
were cut off. Fortunately there was not a
large amount of shipping off the coast, and
no marine disaster has been reported. The
storm center was directly over Boston at
s o'clock tonight with the unusually low
barometer of 2S.7S, which is nearly the rec
ord at this station. The wind attained a
velocity of forty-four miles an hour this
forenoon. and at S o'clock the weather
bureau reported a Observation-Disclosures
