The Bennington disaster has called at
tention to an urgent need Of the navy,
which is that of a well-trained and ex-
perienced engineer corps. According TO
the statement of a naval engineer the
American navy is greatly lacking in this
respect. Gradually the engineers of the
construction period are being retired by
the age limit and no experienced men are
taking their place. There are men in the
navy, of course, who are giving some at
tention to engineering, but they are de-
voting only part Of their study to this
very important requirement and conse-
'quently cannot become thorough in 1t.
Accepting as correct the statement of
this old-school engineer-one of only
about score of such now in the navy
there is evident need Of a return to the
old system under which our warships
were supplied with engineers who were
thoroughly educated in the business.
Why the policy Of training men espe-
cially for this service was abandoned we
are unable to say, but that it was a mis-
take seems to be unquestionable. It is
said that very few of the American naval
vessels have at present competent or
well-trained engineers. If such is the
fact it is safe to say that no other navy
in the world is as deficient and the neces-
sity Of remedying our weakness In this
particular is obvious. There can be no
question that it is quite as essential to
have capable engineers in our warships
as 1t is to haye competent men in any
other position. AS the engineer quoted
said, this is an age Of specialists and the
government needs specialists In its navy.
Deplorable as was the Bennington disas-
ter there will be some compensation for
the terrible loss Of life If a change from
the present system shall be brought
about that will give the navy a corps Of
thoroughly trained engineers. The old
plan worked well and should be restored.

Fort Smith, June ia Mrs
Davis, who keeps a roomIng

tempted suicide yesterday by
taking laudanum.
About a year ago her step
daughter married a young man
who finally separated from her.
A short time ago she secured a
divorce and was married again.
Her former husband went to live
with his time mother-in-law,
and she fell desperately in love
with him, and finally asked him
to marry her. He declined, and
she bought a couple of ounces ol
laudanum, portion of which she
took and soon fell into a state oi
inconsistencies. A physician
was summoned, and pumped her
out. She did not appear to re-
gret her attempt at self-destruc-
ton, and said that she would try
again.
