AMERTCAS RECONSTRUCTED NAVY.

The magnificent exhibition OF speed by the
new battleship Missouri within the last few
days naturally directs attention TO the general
reconstruction OF the American Navy. AT
one time, long after the Civil War closed, IT
was not uncommon to hear that the sinking OF
a barge meant the destruction OF conSidera-
b.e part of our sea power; but such cyniclsm
would he inexcusable in these days. This coin-
try now has many powerful ships, and it has
personnel for them second TO none.
The reconstruction Of the American Navy was
undertaken IN a most businesslike manner, ana
il has gone ahead In the same way. For years
its officers applied themselves TO acquire the
most detailed information as TO what was Delpg
done in Europe. and then, with native AFFINITY
and shrewdness. they laid down designs from
which vessels have been built, one following
another until the United States now has Meet

by any foreign power In fact, foreign nations
recognize that this country is well up in the
list of great naval powers. and that she is al
vapcing speedily to position of superiority In
armament. in numbers and in speed But this
does not necessarily mean war; on the contrary,
IL tends to produce peaceful rivalry with the
other civilized nations of the world.

The Mayoralty fights In Jersey City and Pat

attention. Jerseymen are getting around very
very slowly to the non artisan idea in munich

the rule. outside OF East Orange. If partisan
ship were pushed aside there should be no ques-
ton whatever about the reelection Of Mayor
Pagan in Jersey City. He was elected on faith
two years ago and lac has amply justified the
confidence then shown in him. His admnstra-
ton has been clean, straight and businesslike.
But the Democratic machine wants the office
and the patronage. and the only argument 1t
has TO offer is that every Democrat ought TO
vote the regular ticket There, just as In New
York corporations which are being made TO
pay what they to the municipality are
doing what they can TO help defeat Mayor
Pagan. In spite of all this his prospects for re-
election are very encouraging.

GERMANY's RAILROAD In ASIA
M1NoR.-Allusion has been made in
recent cable dispatches to a recent lee
ture by the German General Baron
Won der Goltz on the Bagdad railway
and its Importance both in Germany
and Turkey. This was delivered be-
fore the Geographical society at
Konigsberg. Turkey, said the general,
originally desired such a railway for
military and political reasons, as the
100000 Mohammedans inhabiting Asia
Minor form the mainstay Of her mil
itary power. The sultan wished the
terminus to be at Bagdad, but the Ger
man Anatolian Railway company had
secured the extension Of the line to
Koweyt after diplomatic negotiations
with Great Britain. With regard to
the prospect Of extensive German COL
onization in Asia Minor, Baron Won der

Goltz declared that he had little faith
it it, as Turkey looked upon the idea
with disfavor. German enterprise
would have to be confined to the rail-
way, the special importance Of which
lay in the facilities it would afford to
the worlds carrying trade, as when it
was finished the journey to Bombay
would be shortened by four or five
days. The road would also obviate the
passage through the Suez canal and
the Red Sea. Turkey would form the
direct route between Paris and Bonn
bay, and it was probable that the
mails would be carried that way. It
was conceivable also that in course Of
time the line might be extended to In
dia. and possibly, some day, even to
Hong Kong, but that, Of course, was
a matter in the remote future.-New

The Evidence Against Him.

DR.. T. S. Allison, superintendent of
the Matteawan State hospital for the
criminal insane, met with an experience
recently that goes far to show how
hard 1t is to overcome circumstantial
evidence.
In making tour Of inspection the
doctor had occasion to enter an unoc-
cupied cell in the ward reserved for
incurables, and as he did so the iron
door clicked shut, making him a pris-
oner in his own castle. While he was
standing there rafting the grating and
calling for an attendant party Of WIS.,
itors came strolling his way.
II beg your pardon" said the doc
tor suavely to the first member, but
am locked in"
Poor fellow" replied the visitor, "so
I perceive"
Il wish you would be good enough
to have some one let me out" the
doctor continued. BY this time a Sec
ond member Of the party appeared.
"See," said the first, this fellow
looks quites1ntelligent, and asks to he
released. as though he really expected
It,"
"Gentlemen, see your error. I an
not crazy, assure you. 1 locked my
self in here quite by accident. Really.
I-why-" and the doctor felt himself
smiling In the most blankly imbecile
manner.
Look at him now," cried the second
visitor; did you ever see more hope
lessly fdiotic expression on the face
Of man."
Say" cried the doctor excitedIy

in a conciliatory manner, you have
had just as many grandparents as any
boy living, and you can tell that boy

The Adventures Of Three Women.
Three women started out to be loved.
The first woman chose a millionaire.

The first woman chose a millionaire.
The second woman chose a poet.
The third woman said, 'Tll wait"
The first woman, having found a
suitable millionaire, set her cap for
him. But the millionaire was willy and
not to be won so easily.
1T is evident to me-" he said. "from
this girls anxiety that she is extreme
ly desirous Of marrying me. She has
set out with this idea in her head, and
this very fact irritates me into an OBJ
stinacy that I shouldn't have under
other circumstances, because she is
certainly very beautiful"
So he hung Off until the woman
gave it up as a bad Job.
The second woman several times
thought she had found a poet, but in
each instance was deceived, for he
turned out to be nothing but either
an advertisement rhymer or a writer
for the magazines, who could easilv
make enough to support her. Finally,
however, she found the real thing, but
the poet, who was a real poet, would
have none Of her.
MY poetry" he said, "is too sacred
to be infringed upon. 1t is not at all,
you see, like the copyright law. In
my most enraptured moments YOU
would bore me to death, No, no."
So the second woman went off in de-
spair and sought the first woman, and
they wept together until curiosity
prompted them to seek the third wo-
man. whom they found, much to their
surprise, happily married to a million
aire who had just published a volume
of real poetry.
