VESSELS IN NAVY

The readers who are following the war m the Orient should inform them selves thoroughly on the classes of yes- .sls that are included ina modern navy, should they desire to nteldgeuyly un- derstand the news as it comes over the wire from day Go day Both the Rus sian and Japanese fleets in Oriental waters are modern in their make up' and. consequently, all the several classes of ships are there represented. The classes which contain the greatest Bumber oi vessels include CD battle ships. l21 armored cruisers, l3I cruisers, lp gunboats, l5l torpedo boats, and ,6I torpedo boat destroyers. Man, of these classes are subdivided For instance, there are first. second and sometimes tbird-elass ba,leships; and there are first second and third-class cruisers There is still another subdivision of the cruiser class. which divides them into protected, partially protected and un- protected subdivisions Then, in addi- lion 60 the more numerous classes of vessels mentioned in this article, there are in all modern uavies classes desig- hated as coast defense, dispatch boats transports, submarine boats, rams, etc. etc.

Faster Than Train.

There are said to be some railroads
In the country where if you are in a
hurry, the quickest way is to get out
and walk, but seldom is that you may
arrive at the station twelve minutes
TOO late and then oyertake the train
within the next six miles by travelling
on foot, says the Ell Paso. News. But
this happened on the Clouderoft
branch Of the Northeastern Monday of
this week. Charles Beisswenger had
been spending Sunday i'm there and
when the train left for Ell Paso Mon.
day Mr.. Beisswenger missed it. When
he arrived at the station he found
that the train had twelve minutes the
start Of him. However. he was told
that If he chose to take the air line
straight down the mountain that he
could overtake the train at a station
six miles down the road. 1t was only
a mile down the mountain and he re-
solved to try IT. After he started
he saw the truth Of at least a part
of the agents remarks that it was

bit carer straight down than other.

doubt the statement that It was only

series OF jumps from four to six feet,
landing on his neels each time. This
proved a tiresome mode of locomo-
tion but he qept at it and finally reach.
ed the station far ahead Of the train.
He was inclined to congratulate him.
self for overtaking a railroad train,
but yesterday he experienced the eff
fects 81 the trip and wishes he had
waited until the next train. He was
so stove UP In his knee joints that 1t
was positively painful for him to walk
and feeling that way the trip lost some
of its record breaking features in his

RATION GETS A
"FRA|D' FIT
Seaberg Finds It Neces-
sary To Write To Gen,
eral Manager Who Ad.
vises Against Worry

The silly story which was concoct'
ed by a Denver newspaper CORES
pondent recently. and which gained
pretty general circulation, concerning
an A. 7. & S. F. short line which
contemplated the abandonment of the
line over Ration mountain and through
this city, has been taken seriously by
some Of our nervous citizens and has
furnished a text for the "knocker,"
says the Ration Range.
The following letter, received a few
days ago by Hugo Seaberg, of this
city, from General Manager Nudge
of the Santa Fe company, should quiet
the apprehensions of the former and
effectually squelch the latter:
July 20. 1904.
MI, Hugo Seaberg,
Ration, n. NJ.
Dear Sir-Replying to Your letter
of July 10Th. There is, of course,
nothing in the newspaper article rela'
tive to a short line via Santa Fe and
there is at present nothing that ]
know of likely to be done in the near
future that will divert any traffic from
the line through Ration.
It is entirely possible that a line
will be built via the Abo Pass, which
line, if built, will carry some little
California business, but / am fully
convinced that the business original
ing in western Kansas, Colorado and
New Mexico will furnish all the traf
fic that can be handled successfully
over Ration mountain and that there
win never be any less business there
than there is at present.
Yours truly,
H. u. NUDGE.

BLoNDIN's CONFESSION
Told counrel Hefore Trial That Hc
 Killed Hts Wife.

Lowell, Mass. Jan. 17.-The recent cosfession of J. Wilfred Blondon, who is serving life sentence in the state prison at Charlestown for the murder of his wife Margaret in the spring of 1901, was made without the consent of his counsel, John H. Morrison, and James F. Owens of this city. MT. Nor rison tonight said:
 Before his trial Blondin informed me that he had killed his wife, In conver- sation with him told him that as his counsel had right to know all the facts, and he accordingly set forth all of the details of the murder. He said that he had trouble with his wife over money matters with the result that af- ter coming from Boston to this city they proceeded to Chelmsford, where he killed her by strangling. Jealousy did not enter into the crime Blondin had no reason to be jealous, from what we were able to learn It was purely a trouble over money matters that led to the woman's death. By his confess sion Blondin has in all probability re- moved all hope of a pardon, for had he remained silent the element of doubt that surrounded the case might in the course of time have been brought up in a petition for his freedom
