NATION ADDING TO NAVY.
According to Present Indications
Many Vessels VIII He Added
to the Fleet.

The United States is rapidly adding
to its navy. In three years it will prob
ably have the largest number of ships
able to engage in active warfare of
any country in the world. Battle
ships, cruisers and monitors are now
in course of construction, and will be
launched as soon as completed, says a
Washington report.
The next to take to the sea is the
Pennsylvania, which will be launched
from Cramps shipyard next season
and christened by Miss Quay, daughter
of the Pennsylvania leader who will
break a bottle upon the bow and name
the ship with appropriate ceremony.
The starting of a ship of war upon
its journey is such an important GER
emony, and one attended with so many
honors, that the greatest rivalry ex-
lists for the honor of breaking the
bottle. Wires are pulled, plans are
laid year in advance, and often feel
ings are engendered that are quite the
reverse of friendly or patriotic.
The selection of Miss Quay has given
universal satisfaction in Philadelphia
and Washington, as she is young
woman, pretty and accomplished, and
already identified in public affairs.

AT THE TOMB OF ELIHU YALE
Little welsh Town That Is the
Scene of IA Sort Of American
Pilgrimage.

A bazar was lately held which ex-
cites great interest in north Wales, in
aid of the restoration of Wrexham
church, one of the finest in the princi-
pality. Wrexham contains a monu-
ment which has become a sort of
shrine to Americans who have baen ed
ucated at Yale college, inasmuch as it
Is that Of Elihu Yale, and bears a
quaint inscription which has become
famous. Never was immortality so
easily acquired as by Yale. 1t cost
him some chattels. which he sent over
TO aid, by the request of friends, a
struggling college at New Haven,
Conn, and which fetched few hun
dred pounds; but this in 171s was such
boon that the college took his name,
and is now famous as Yale university,
says London paper.

James Cavendish, son of the first duke
of Devonshire, and had an only child.

TRIUMPHS OF WOMEN.
Some of Them Are Displaying Quail
tiles They Were Not supposed
to Possess

Every day women are displaying
traits of character that excite both
surprise and admiration. says the Chi
cago Chronicle In Brooklyn the other
day Mrs. Lennie Kelley saved the life
of her aged father by climbing over
the dashboard Of the buggy iu which
they were driving on the Coney Island
boulevard and selling the reins that
mad dropped from his hands and were
dangling at the heels of their run
away horse. Would PAMELA or Claris-
ga or even Nine. De Staels extraor-
dinary heroine, Delphine, have done
that?
In Pittsburg Mrs. Sarah +. Mccoy.
in law court, has just excelled in the
intellectual feat of Portia, and has
surpassed many shining masculine
lights of the bar, for she managed her
own case in breach of promise suit
and proved, too, contrary TO the old
adage, that she did not have fool for
client. There were some novelties in
her methods of examining witnesses,
as, for instance, her telling one of
them point blank that he was a liar.
In the first case there was triumph
OF nerve and muscle and in the second
OF nerve and intellect. The obvious
conclusion is that the era in which
woman was a "downtrodden creature"
Is iuIIy past, for with qualifying ex-
periencc of the world, she is now quite
capable of defending her own and of
holding it.

two errors in little item last week
AS the errors are liable to mislead
several interested people correction
is hereby made. Mr.. George B. Ed
gar, the inventor of the patent car
lock to be manufactured here, is the

and has turned it and an Improvement

to manufacture the locks. The deed
to the land west of town on which the
factory is to stand was received today
and it is hoped to begin work on the
plant soon.
Il. s. Stover does not contemplate
with very great JOY his task Of direct
ing the wanderings of the orators on

many towns will ask for speakers
whom it will be impossible to give
them. Then trip tickets must be fur

trouble. MAndI of course after dates
are arranged kilograms will pour in
that for one cause or another the
speakerIcannot appear and feverish
rush will be necessary to get some
speaker on the ground to fill the date.
Mr.. Stover has accepted difficult

place successfully.

DooMS AN ADOBE THEORY.
Field Museum Authority Finds That
HOpi Indian Children Puzzled
the Experts.

DIR. George, Dorsey, of the Field
Columbian museum, has made a dis
covery in his investigation among
the Hopi Indians that overturns
many of the old theories of anthro-
biologists in regard to supposed in
scriptions on the adobe houses of
the tribe. He made the announce
ment of his discoveries in a lecture
to the students of the University of
Chicago the other afternoon on "Civ-
ilization Among the Hopi Indians"
"These inscriptions that the an
thropologists have been trying to de-
cipher and read for years." said DIR.
Dorsey, 'have been found to be
nothing more than the scratches
made by mischievous Hopi children
in the mud OF the adobe houses after
they have been freshly built. They
are not mysterious inscriptions at
all They are only the results of
childish pranks. OF course this dis
covery makes the anthropologists
feel rather vexed, but the markings
have much resemblance to some kind
of picture writing, and may well be
taken for some kind of inscriptions"

LEAP-YEAR BIRTHDAYS.
Unique society in Berlin which Is
to Hold N BiE Celebration
In 1904.

Herr Monteur, worthy resident
OF Berlin, is over 20 years old, but
will celebrate his eighteenth birth
day on February 20. 1904. He is pres
ident of the Berlin society of leap
year children, the one organization
OF its kind in the world. The mem
bers have had no birthday celebra-
tion for eight years, the extra Feb
ruary day having been omitted in
1900 according TO the rules of the
reformed calendar. Therefore the
society is planning a great celebra-
tion on February %. 1904. A COM
mittee of arrangements is already
at work, and something extraordin-
ary may be expected, as on account
of the societys curious origin many
prominent persons have interested
themselves in the matter.
The month of February in 1886. by
the way, was even more interesting
than that which will be marked by
tho unique Berlin celebration. It
had no full moon, and in that was
the most remarkable In the worlds
history, for never before had such n
thing occurred. January of that
year had two full moons, and SO had
March, but February had none.
How extraordinary this event was
may be judged from the fact that
according to the computation of
astronomers it will not occur again
for 2,5O0,000 years.

BIG DO|NGS IN FURNITURE
An Unusual Closing out Sale at the
Fuller StOre-CrOwds Haul
Away the Bargains.

Beginning at day-break Monday
there was continuous performance
at the j. w, Fuller furniture store on
north Washington avenue today until
noon when the doors were locked
Half a dozen drays were kept bus Y
hauling away loads of furniture of all
kinds, including beds, dressers, mir
rors, chairs, pictures, mouldings, and
all the odds and ends of a large and
well-selected stock of furniture except
the collins. Even at the catchy prices
offered nobody seems to have laid in
a supply of collins.
Just what the sale means lis mat
ter of dispute. A REGISTER reporter
called on Mr.. Fuller this afternoon
but he was too busy to talk. Of course
the air is full of rnmors. One of the
most interesting was that the store
was in financial straights and the
&C editors having refused an eXtention
of time Mr.. Fuller held a bargain
sale. Several strangers and local
lawyers hung about during the record
breaking sale, but did nothing. They
were popularly supposed to be the
creditors and their lawyers, but if
they had a right to stop the circus they
seemed powerless to find the legal me-
thod to do SO up to moon. 1t is be-
lieved that at o'clock the creditors
took charge of what was left of the
stock, but the store looked then as if
it had been cyclone-swep
The goods were offered at about
cost or perhaps a trihe less and alarge
sum must have been realized from the
extensive sales, Whether Mr., Fuller
was selling in that way to protect him
self and get his equity out Of the stock
before it was seized or whether he took
this way to raise money to pay his
bills and quit business will not be
know until Mr.. Fuller himself acts in
,the matter.
Incidentally there has not been a
"sale" in lola in years which ever
caused so much stir and talk.

CURING A BALKY HORSE.
simple Methods May he Employed
without ResOrting to the Use
of the Whip.

An expert states that the vice of
baking in horses is almost invariably
caused by improper breaking and
handling of the animal while Young.
1t is only high-strung and ill-tempered
horses that balk; and these are handled
with more success by humoring and
patience than by severe measures.

1t is almost impossible to follow rules
in a case of this sort. What will sue
ceed in one case is useless in another.
so that driver must exercise GOOD
judgment-"horse sense"-in handling
case. A very good treatment is TO
watch the animal closely in places
where 1t would be likely to balk, and
driver should say "Whoa," then get
off and loosen or pretend to change
the harness in some way; also take up
foot and tap the shoe with a stone.
Spend few moments leisurely in this
way, and in nine cases out of ten the
animal will forget its inclination to
balk and will go on at the first bid
ding. 1t is also well to give a lump
of sugar or a handful of oats or an
apple. This will always produce bet
ter results than severe measures.

ART AND ATHLETICS.
Hhe outdoor Movement, II u
Thought. VIII Advance the Two
interests.

The universally increasing atten-
tion now being given, especially in
Anglo-SaXon countries, to out-of.
door sports and to physical culture
is sign of the best omen. No class
can have greater solicitude for the
furtherance of this movement than
the artists, for they cannot create
beautiful forms without having
beautiful forms around them from
which to draw inspiration. The art
of nation is but the mirror of that
nations ideals, and faithfully reflects
their slightest change, says Outing.
This new conception of the value of
athletics will add dignity, interest
and standing, making it a factor sec
ond TO none in the development of
our civilization. 1t will be a mighty
influence in the creation of new
and superior type of men and women.
Ihat women are growing more and
more to realize this is evidenced by
the athletic tendency of the modern
girl. If she will combine Herewith
an intelligent effort after well-bal-
anced and harmonious DEVELOPMENT
the results are bound to be satisfy
ing in the extreme, for in many ways
the female body is quicker than the
male to respond to training.
