The Russell Brothers. of Irish servant
girl fame, are at the Columbia in another
sketch that enables them to be funny in
their old impersonatioEs. When they first

SUBMARINE BOATS GIVE
SUCCESSFUL TESTS
Adder Succeeds in Torpedo
ing Torpedo Boat Craven
OFF Newport

Newport, r. l., Sept. l6.-A pretty
exhibition of mimic warfare. impor-
tant as illustrating the effectiveness
Of the navy's submarine craft. was
given off Drenton's Reef hghtship,
when the submarine torpedo boat
Adder succeeded in torpedoing the
torpedo boat Craven. The sham fight
was a continuation Of the program
which was begun some days ago as q
test for the submarine boat, and was
n success in every way as far as the
type was concerned.
The Craven left the torpedo station,
and running down the harbor, cruised
about Brenton's Reef lightship await
ing the attack. The Adder, instead Of
following Immediately, waited an hour
in order to get the crew of the Craven
of their guard. AS soon as Fort Adams
was cleared the submarine boat
plunged beneath the surface and re-
NAMED for 40 minutes, during which
time officers and men enjoyed lunch
without inconvenience On getting out
side the harbor the Adder was once
more sent to the surface, but only her
coming tower was exposed. The Cra-
ven was sighted a short distance out
side the lightship, riding unconcernedly
on an easy swell. The Adder again
plunged. and when within 300 yards of
the Craven a wooden torpedo, in shape
and size of a regular projectile. was
fired. The shot was a good one and
the torpedo struck the Craven amid
ship with considerable force, sufficient
to perceptibly jar the boat. The crew
of the Craven was unable to reach the
guns in time to fire a shot. The Adder
then came to the surface, and after one
OF two more dives the boats returned
to the torpedo station.

Puzzlina.

From the New York Tribune.
In view of Postmaster General Payne's
statements explaining the removal of
Miss Todd, in order ITO give Senator Alice
what the Postmaster General regards as
his rights" in the matter Of patronage,
and declaring that Miss Todd, having
served four years. although there is no
limit of term in the case Of t5urth class
postmasters, was merely a "holdover" !"
who had no reason to expect continuance
in office. no matter how faithfully she
had discharged her duties, Vt is interest
ing to read the following official state
ment given out by Postmaster General
Payne on February A. 1902:
The policy Of the administration Is not
to make removals Of fourth class post
masters without cause. The removal of
an officer is a proposition entirely DIFF
ferent from the naming Of a successor at
the expiration Of a postmaster's com
mission. 1t is therefore desired that re-
movals be not made except for some good
reason which affects the service, or at
the request of a Senator or Representa-
tive indorsing the petition for such a
change made by patrons of the office in
question. In some sections Of the coun-
try. notably IN the South, not represent
ed by Republican Representatives in Con-
gress these demands for changes in
fourth class postofices are made, not
for the good OF the service, nor for any
proper purpose. but TO subserve the inter-
ests Of rival factions.
According to the admissions made 10
Miss Todd by the Postmaster General,
she was not removed for any cause relat-
ing to the sood of the service, or because
OF any demand on the part Of the patrons
Of her office. but solely to please Senator
Alice. In February, 1902, Mr.. Payne
would not sacrifice faithful fourth class
postnasters, whether they had served
one year or five. 'to subserve the inter-
ests of rival factions" Why the change
Why. above all, should the corrupt Ad-
dicks faction in Delaware be made the
beneficiary of so radical a departure from
high principle boldly promulgated?
