Literature history, the sciences-she knows something of them all-and yesterday she announced, incl dentally in her speech that this year she is studying economies. One thing, and perhaps the most remarkable or all' noticed in everything she has said or written which has reached the public is the absolute clearness of her thought. There is no haziness of idea or expres- sion in anything she says. Her talk yes terday began with a tribute to New fork for the extent of its charities.

The Cost of Sea Speed.

It is easy to build a record-breaking ocean steamship. The problem is who Is to pay the bills. Two new Cunarders are to be built to attain a speed of 20 knots. The company could not afford to build such ships and run them in the dull sea son. The British government consequent ly is helping out.
 To build two 25 knot merchant ships costs over $1O,OOOO0O. Great Britain ad- vances every cent of this money and per mits the Cunard company to repay 1t in twenty years, with interest at 2sz per cent.
 To run such a ship with 52o00 horse power means burning 1000 tons of coal a day and other expenses in proportion But besides a generous mail subsidy Great Britain Is to pay $750,0o0 per year to the Cunard company for the privilege Of car rying the two ships on the naval reserve list, thus having an option on their use In war time.

Nashville. Tenn. May 15.-(SpeciaD.- In the presence of nearly 1000 loyal fans the "Climbers," by which appeliation Man ager Fishers aggregation promises to be- come known in the early future, took the second game of the series with Birming- ham by a score of to 3.
 It was contest that abounded with brilliant plays, interspersed with few bad errors and dumb" plays on the part of Nashville. In the matter of dumb plays, Holmes. the new catcher just signed by Manager Fisher, led the van, but under the circumstances he should not be blamed Holmes went in to re- lieve Fisher, who had his left arm prac- tieaIly disabled in the seventh by a foul tip. Newt caught out the inning, but his sufferings compelled him to retire in the next.
 With man on third and another on first, nobody out" Holmes made the mistake of firing the ball down to second in an attempt to catch the base runner.
 Mistake ExcusabIe.
 Not being familiar with the signals used by the champions, his mistake was excus- able, although he is charged with an er- TOT under the scoring rules. Herman pitched magnificent game for the Fish ermen, and had Knoll not misjudged Magure's drive to left in the eighth, the tall boy" would have shut out the Coal Barons. Knoll made an earnest effort to corral the drive, but the ball "curved In the opposite direction and Maguire's drive had to go for a two bagger It brought Cavender. who had been free passed" to first, to counting territory, and Clark's single brought ! Mcguire home. In the same inning Doc tor" Lowney in his eagerness to make double play, failed to touch second when Duffy hit to third. Bobby Cargo hurled the sphere to Dan in ample time, but in his eagerness to retire both men the Doctor" failed to place his foot on the bag Result, both men safe.
 Magician Herman allowed but three hits in the game, one of which. made by Millar in the fifth, was a rank scratch. Maguire's two-bagger was also In the nature of a scratch, as Knoll misjudged the hit The single made by Clark in the eighth was the only clean hit scored by the Coal Barons.
 Clark, who occupied the slab for Blr- mingham, was in good form and allowed the champions but seven hits, two of which were in the nature of scratches. After the fourth Clark allowed but one hit and Nashville failed to score after the third. Altogether It was another great game
