SCORED BY OLD MAIDS.
Let President GrappIe Trusts and
Leave Babies to Women.

New York, April 1.-THE Western
New York Old Maids convention
opened, yesterday. at Pittsford. n. Y,
says dispatch to the Herald. Miss
Amelia Higginson, the president, in her
opening address said:
President Roosevelt believes in the
rearing of large families. He has a
right to his opinion but when he places
childlessness in the same category with
criminal acts he goes too far. The
President is the father of what we
Americans would call large family.
He is not the mother of q large family
We have heard nothing about race sui
eide from the mothers Of America and
we never shall.
Let the President grapple with the
trusts, the tariff and the coming cleo
ton. They are more in his line. He
can safely leave the question of babies
in the hands of women Of this great re-
public"

THE WEAK POINTS
To Be Hunted Out in Our
Coast Defences.
Army and Naval Maneuvres t
Center Around Portland, Maine.
pr;nejnaI Point Of Attack by North
l., Atlantic Squadron.

Newport, r. l., April 1.-THE latter
mart of August and the early portion OF
Sepfember have been named as the time
for the continued or joint maneuvres oil
the army and navy off the New Eng
land coast, with the harbor of Portland,
Me. as the principal port of attack by
the ships OF the North Atlantic squad
ron. The torpedo boat fotilla which
will be thoroughly equipped and drilled
by that time after spring ana sum-
mer series OF drills in Narragansett bay
and the waters hereabouts, will prob
ably assist in the defence.
What part the new fleet of harbor de-
fence vessels called the Atlantic coast
defence squadron viii take in the
maneuvres is not known at this time
and perhaps will not be definitely de-
cided upon until Rear Admiral James
II. Sards, II. s. N, has his fleet in the
best of condition.
At all events Newport is expected to
play an important part in the summer
maneuvres in connectionsAwith various
plans for the defence which the staff of
the Naval War College has prepared.
Some important points as to the
weakness OF certain defense positions in
this neighborhood were discovered dur
Ing the maneuvres. last summer, and
these places have been secured for the
better protection of Newport and it's
harbor.
Such forts as Williams, Preble, Leav-
lit and others of lesser Importance will
be the object Of attacks by the ships
of the North Atlantic squadron for the
purpose of developing weaknesses and
for the practical results and instruc-
lions Of such drills.
The army defence districts of New
London and Narragansett bay are to
be modified for war during the lat
ter part of August This mobilization
is for the purpose of testing the morale
Of the troops of the coast artillery sta
ton in the two districts.
New and heavy as well as smaller
calibre guns have been mounted and
made ready for use at Fort Wetherill
and by August the guns at Fox Hill
Conanicut. which guards the west pas
sage Of Narrgansett bay, will have
been placed in position.
Four companies of coast artillery mer
will be at Fort Adams, two at Fort
Preble and a detail at Fort Wetherell
The search lights for the night de-
Tense work are here and can be placed
