speed were entered against the new
conner. The Rollo won the race. She
made 1890 statute miles in one hour
seventeen minutes thirty-one seconds,
averaging 11.53 statute miles an hour.
An her next race she did better than
this. At Meudon, In the races Of the
Cercle de la Wolfe de Paris, she made
$3.50 statute miles in two hours for
ty-one minutes thirty-eight seconds,
which is a little better than twelve
miles an hour. Many experiments
were made with the motor, and its
power gradually improved, so that in
subsequent races the Rollo showed a
speed Of fourteen miles an hour and
then speed Of 1857 miles an hour.
3 In long distance trial the Rollo ran
200 miles at an average of thirteen
miles an hour, and once in a speed tri-
al over a measured mile on the Seine,
with the tide in her favor, she slipped
along at the rate Of twenty-five miles
an hour. This is a remarkable per-
Torrance for a boat of the size Of the
Rollo and having such a small powered
motor. This boat has caused many

on the wagons which receive it as it
drops from the screen.
As to payment The girls start work
at Q O'clock in the morning and finish
at 8 or A O'Clock in the afternoon, and
they receive fifty cents or less a day.
Men who do the same work get 81.
Taken altogether, the pit brow lasses
are a strong, healthy lot, ranging in
age from eighteen to twenty-five.
Their dress is distinctive and pc
culiar. The working costume consists
Of trousers, clogs and often enough a
coat which has at one time been worn
by a brother or has come from n rum
mage stall. When going to and from
work the girls wear petticoats which
they roll up round the waist while en-
gagged on the pit brow.
The hair is closely covered with a
handkerchief, on the top Of which is
a soft bonnet. Then round the neck

recently that they have become popu-
lar here.
The fastest Of these boats, so far as
the records show, is the Rollo, owned
by NJ. Giraud. 1t was built by a firm
that has become famous for turning
cut fast automobiles. The motor is Of
twenty-four horsepower, just as Is
used In road machines, but with GER
tain notifications that adapt 1t to
driving boat. The canoe into which
the motor was put is thirty-nine feet
three inches in length and four feet
three inches beam. In model the boat
is almost wedge shaped, the entrance
being fine, the run almost straight,
and aft the hull is fat on the bottom
to prevent squatting when running
fast. The hull is constructed very
lightly and the deck is Of the thinnest
material.
The Helios Club is the leading or
ganlzation for the sport in France, and
when NJ. Giraud had finished his boat
he applied to that club to manage n
series Of trials. The first trial was Mt
Argenteuil, and several boats of high

ing employed below the surface In coal
mines.
At present the duties Of the pit brow
lasses consist in dealing with the coal
as it comes up the shaft to the pit head.
When the cage reaches the top the
girls haul out the wagons, which con-
tain several hundredweight Of coal
each, and run them on rails to sort
of tipping machine, which shoots the
coal down below to the screen or rid
ding machine.
This is a sort of iron slide, several
yards long, with holes through which
the coal drops at various stages into
trucks waiting beneath. 1t is jerked
about by steam power, and the coal
moves downward while the girls, sta
toned alongside, pick out the rubbish.
II is dusty work.
Among the other duties of the ''pit
broo girls"-that is the Lancashire pro-
nunciation-is the leveling of the coal

Is an enthusiastic automobilist recent
~ offered a cup for international races
with power boats. It was the inten-
lion OF two Americans to send boats
across the ocean to try to capture the
trophy, but they could not be got ready
in time, so the idea was postponed for
year; but when the races are held
next season this country will be rep
resented. Three boats raced for the
cup, and the winner was the Napier,
owned by S, H. Edge, This boat was
built from designs by Linton Hone.

So far there have been no boats that
have done as well in these waters as
the Napier and Rollo.
Mr.. Charles r. Flints instructions
to his yacht builder were terse and to
the point. When the man came pre-
pared with plans and specifications
Mr.. Flint waved them aside.
II want the fastest boat ahoat," he
said. * do not care how you build it
or what it will cost. Build me a craft
that will break the speed record"
When the Arrow was delivered to
Mr.. Flint a number OF months later,
the magnate took her out for a trial
trip over a measured mile course. The

cylindered gasoline motor attached to
a two.bladed propeller. The cylinders
are six and one-half inches bore and
the stroke seven and one-half inches.
The hull Of the Napier is built of steel.
The frames and floors are Of light nm
gle end plate, while two longitudinal
girders run fore and aft to carry the
motor and separate thrust bearings.
There is no deck to the craft, but
merely covering of canvas stretched
tightly over the hull. The beam Is
five feet moulded, and the draught
two feet. The total displacement is
5000 pounds.
The course over which these boats
raced was eight and one-half knots,
and the Napier's time was twenty. -four
minutes forty-four seconds, averaging
206 knots an hour or 1871 statute
miles. Against the Napier was the
Beadle, thirty feet long, driven by a
fifty horsepower eight.cylinder gaso-
line motor and a Thornycroft boat,
thirty feet long, driven by a twenty
horsepower four-cyllnder gasoline mo-
tor.

''Parted."

The Orris ODER Stock Co. will
play an engagement of three nights
at the Fay Opera, beginning Thurs.
day, May 9Th, and changing the
play nightly. "Parted," the play
presented on the opening night, is
one of exceptional interest from the
fact that in the role of Florence
GRAVITY, Miss Ober is reviving the
part that was in quite a measure
responsible for her being elevated
to stellar honors by Manager Hugh
Ettinger, and moreover from the
fact that the play itself is one of the
brightest and cleverest given to the
public.
In the revival of this highly sue
cessful piece, Mr.. Ettinger has pro-
vided very strong supporting cast,
including such we'll known players
as Bruce Delamater, one of the clev-
crest young leading men on the
stage, having been in support of
the we'll known a actress as Mrs.
Tetz Allen, formerly leading woman
of Salvenin and Keen.
Mr.. T. B. Hitch, member of the
company, was featured for two sea-
sons in southern tour of DR.. Jec-

wegian play "Thelma."

not "cinch" for anybody. They
all apparently agreed, however,
that had the primary been held
sixty days ago Dunn would have
had a walk-away in St. Louis. but
that the conduct of campaign by
a class of shave beens" is not des-
tined to meet with the rousing aD-
probation of the voters in general.

the kindly acts of his fool friends.

impetus from the fact that the Du.

praises of the former state auditor, a

VIII Resign

James II. S. Hickman has
spent, practically his entire lite
in this city and as boy enter
ed the service of the Monroe
City Bank as bookkceper in
1884 and for the past seven
years has been its cashier.
At this writing-Monday-he
expected to resign and become
one of the leading officers Of
the Hannibal Trust Company
which has been formed in Han
nibal. The president of that
company will be one of the
leading business men of Hauni-
bal. 1t is connected with the
National Bank of Commerce of
ST. Louis and the Common
wealth Trust Company of same
city, consequently is backed by
some OF the strongest people
tinaucially-i1 the state.
Mr.. Hickman is not only a
popular man IN financial circles
out was or is a leader in church
and lodge circles, therefore will
be missed as much or more in
this city than the removal of
any other man in it of his age.
His resignation will mean the
election of another cashier aud
we believe it is safe 10 say: His
name is James M. Johnson Jr.
Mr.. Johnson has held the posi-
tion of bookkeeper in the bank
for several years and is just
the man in every respect, to
fill MIR. Hickmau's position.
Miss Daisy Huston has al
ready accepted and assumed
the duties of bookkeeper in the
bank.
