Quincy, Mass, Nov. 1O.-Christened
by daughter of the state whose name
she is TO bear, the magnificent battle
ship New Jersey was launched today
from the yard of the Fore River Ship
and Engine company. Hundreds OF
persons saw the ship plunge into the
water, and for some time after their
cheer echoed along the river banks
II was Mrs. William b. Kinnay, daugh-
ter of Governor Franklin Murphy, of
New Jersey, who smashed the tradi-
tional bottle Of American champagne
against the steel prov Of the huge ship
as IL started down the ways. The New
Jersey party included Governor Muir
ply and numerous other state officials,
together with visitors from Trenton,
Jersey City, Camden and other cities
of the state. On the christening stand
also were prominent naval officers from
the Charleston and New York navy
yards, from Philadelphia, Washington,
and other points.
The New Jersey, when completed,
viii be one Of the most powerful bat
tieships in the world. She is one of
the FIVE ships authorized by congress in
1900, and belongs to the Virginia class.
Her sister ship, the Rhode Island, was
launched at the Fore River yards last
May. This class are all constructed
with double steel turrets. The New
Jersey is the last ship with double tur-
rets the government intends to build.
The double turret has its disadvantages
according to naval experts.
After considerable delay the keel Of
the New Jersey was laid in 1901. Since
then the work has gone rapidly on,
but it will be another year before the

Pain Weakens

DO you know that pain Is simply ths

The Torpedo Boat.

If there is one fact that, beyond
any other, has been brought out by
the Russo-Japanese war, it is that
of the formidable efficiency of the
torpedo boat. Heretofore these
pigmy craft have been looked upon
with more or less contempt. In
the war between the United States
and Spain the torpedo boat played
a very small part, the bulk of the
fighting being done by the cruisers
and battleships. 1t remained for
the Japanese to appreciate the de-
structive1 value of these deadly
naval instruments. In their hands
the torpedo has assumed new and
awesome significance. In nearly
every engagement the torpedo has
struck the decisive blow. Like
wasps they dart upon their enemy,
sting and away again, before de-
fense is possible. Unlike that nox-
lous insect, their blow is deadly.
1t Is as If the wasp possessed the
fangs OF a cobra. No armorplate
ever cast can resist the rending
power of a Whitehead torpedo

His reference to a north and

1t Is Rank Extravaganza.

Chairman jackson of the demo-
cratic state central committee has
announced that the party will need
every cent it can raise to carry on
the campaign. What is to be
gained by wasting money on a
campaign this fall? Democratic
defeat is a certainty. If there ever
was any doubt about the result,
that doubt was entirely removed
by the democratic state convention.
To court defeat, and then carry on
a campaign in a hopeless endeavor
to win victory, is somewhat Of an
amusing situation. Mr. Jackson
says he is receiving encouraging re-
ports from all over the state. If
that is true the reports are from

A Successful Year Promised.

The local schools opened Mon
day morning with an enrolment
of 130 scholars. Every teacher
was present and ready to take up
the work with the energy gained
by the summers vacation. The
new teachers, Prof Hinton and the
Misses Bambrick and Rutherford,
are taking hold of the work in fine
shape, and everything throughout
the entire school is now in good
running order. The addition of the
eleventh grade work is proving its
value and the following studies
have been added: Solid geometry.
Latin II, bookkeeping and English
literature. The schools this wear
are in charge of the most able corps
of teachers that has ever served
here, and the most up-to-date and
modern methods are being intro
duced thoughout the entire work.
The primary rooms in charge of
the Misses Florence Higbee and
Dorothy Crawford occupy the rock
building and everything is being
done for the comfort and conven-
ience of the little ones. The work
of these teachers is too we'll known
to need any comment. Miss Crab
tree, who proved her worth last
year as an educator, now occupies
the front room on the lower floor
and is very pleasantly situated
there. She and Miss Rutherford
have charge of the intermediate
grades. Miss Rutherford, although
new to the work here, has had con-
siderable experience as teacher,
md her work bids fair to be more

Quits the Democrats.
REFUSES TO Be CANDIDATE
OF Democrats For County Attorney
Though Certain OF Election
A Pointed Statement.


the st. Louis convention, and dis
gusted with the manner in which
Dubois dominated the Lewiston
convention and forced it to adopt
his anti-Mormon plank, E. A. Wal
ters, probably the most prominent
democrat in Lincoln county, has
said farewell to the democratic
party and will support the repub-
lican ticket.
The action OF the Weiser conven-
ton in adopting an anti-Mormon
resolution was matter of sincere
regret to Mr. Walters. Although
a delegate to that convention, he
resisted the pressure brought to
bear upon him and refused to vote
for the resolution although the
balance OF the Lincoln county del
egation lined up for it, when they
found it was sure to carry. The
action of the Idaho delegates to the
st. Louis convention in boiling to
Parker on the first ballot, although
they were instructed for Hearst by
the convention which elected them,
and thereby making Parker's NOM
ination ON the first ballot a sure
thing, did not tend to inspire fur
ther confidence on the part of Mr..
Walters in the democratic party.
When Dubois obtained control
of the Lewiston convention and
manipulated it to his own satisfac-
tion, forcing an Mormon fight
onto the party and making it ridic-
uIous in the eyes of all honest dem
ocrats, Mr.. Walters disgust reach
ed the limit, and since that time he
has been carefully and conscience
ously considering the situation in
an endeavor to decide what was the
right course for him to pursue

net Quincy. The latter had turned
Miss Very over to the care of Mrs.
Maxwell and had got one of the twins
to carry the young lady's trunk to her
room. which was the one formerly oc-
cupied by Mandy. He had then driv-
en- the carryall around to the barn
and was returning, anxious to bear his
tidings of success to Alice, when he
met the departing couple.

mornings should be devoted for = a
while, at least, to shopping and visit
ing modistes and milliners. Miss Very
was also to give some of her time to
visits to the libraries and the second
hand book stores looking for books
that would be of value to Alice in her
work. The afternoons were to be
passed in conversation and in listen
ing to Miss Very's reading from the
books that she had purchased or TAX
en- from the libraries. The evenings
were to be filled up with music and the
first one disclosed. the pleasing fact
that Miss Very had rich. full, contral-
to voice that had been well cultivated
and that she could play Beethoven or
the songs of the day with equal facil-
ity.
While the feminine trio were thus
enjoying themselves in Boston with an
admixture of work and play, Quincy
was busily engaged at Nantucket in
building a nest for them, as he called
it.
He had found large, old-fashioned
house on the bluff at the north shore,
overlooking the harbor, owned by Mrs.
Gobson. She was a widow with two
children, one boy of about nineteen
named Thomas, and the other girl
of twelve. named Dorothy, but gener-
ally designated as Tommy and Dolly.
Mrs. Gibson consented to let her sec
ond floor for a period of four months,
and to supply them with meals The
price was fixed upon and Quincy knew
he had been unusually lucky in secur-
ing so desirable a location at such a
reasonable price.
There we're three rooms, one large
front room with view of the harbor,
and back Of it, two sleeping rooms,
looking out upon large garden at the
rear Of the house. Quincy mentally
surveyed the large room and marked
the places with a piece of chalk upon
the carpet where the piano and the
bookcase were to go. Then he decided
that the room needed lounge and a
desk with all necessary fixtures and
stationery for Rosa to work at. There
were some stiff backed chairs in the
room. but he concluded that a low,
easy chair like the one Alice had at
home and couple of wicker rocking
chairs, which would be cool and COM
Portable during the hot summer days,
were absolutely essential.
