r%ootlights for Fitz.

New York, Aug.27.-Bob Fitzsim
mons has forsaken the roped arena for
the stage. Tonight, at the Metropolis
theater, the former heavyweight cham
pion will make his debut in an intense
m%elodrama. called GA Fight for
Love- Fitz will be the hero of the
play, and his actress wife, formerly
Julia Clifford, will be the heroine.
This will not be the first appearance
of Fitz behind the footlights, but it
will mark his debut as a real live ac-
tor of the m~elodramatis school. His
%neighbors at Bensonohurst say that he
has been rehearsing faithfully during
the hot summer and they predict a
glorious success for him as n thespian.
Upper Broadway is much interested in
the debut, and the many friends ofo
the pugilist are expected to fill the
theater tonight.

The progress of her construction is
being watched intently by naval off.
GERS, constructors and shipbuilders gen
orally owing to the competition be.
tween the private company that is
building her and the New York navy
yard which is constructing the Con-
nectieut. The construction of these
two battleships, which are practically
identical and the keels of which were
laid at the same time, is intended to
show whether the government can
successfully compete with the private
shipbuilders in constructing our war
ships. The Newport News Company
has won the race so far in regards to
time and naval experts seem to be of
the opinion that the private concern
will also succeed in turning out the
battleship at a lower cost than the
government navy yard.

tile, which attains a velocity of 5000
feet a second driven by a charge of
lOl pounds of smOkeless powder.
Hitherto the secondary batteries of
the battleships have been composed
mostly of 3-pounder and 6-pounder
rapid fire guns. On the Louisiana
these will be superseded by twenty g.
inch rapid fire rifles, throwing a l A.
pound explosive she'll. There also will
be twelve 3-pounder semi-automatie
guns, eight 1-pounder automatic guns
and two S-inch field gums and eight
machine guns for the fighting tops.
The armor for the Louisiana will
cost about 81, 100000. While the
greatest of her steel protection will be
concentrated at the water line amid
ships, she also win be protected the
full length of her hull, and above the
main belt of armor plate there will be
three thinner belts of plates-the
lower casemate, the upper casemate
and the superstructure armor.
Electricity will be employed to as
large an extent on board the Louis
lana as on any ship in the navy. There
will be electric ammunition hoists and
conveyors, and it is more than prob
able that electrical devices for both
aiming and discharging the guns will
be installed. There also will be an
automatically controlled motor for
the purpose of keeping the big guns
on IA horizontal line while firing in a
heavy sea.
The Louisiana has Il length of $50
feet on the load water line, an ex-
IRENE breadth of 76 feet 10 inches and
"a total displacement of 10000 tons.

"One day l obtained permission to go
through the pantry and see what 1 could

package of Grape-Nuts which i had heard

some cream and tried the famous food.
