RIVAL NAVAL BUILDERS.
GOVERNMENT CONSTRUCTORS
BEAT PRIVATE CONCERN
IN SHIPBUILDING.

The Connecticut Ahead Of Slater Ship
Louisiana-Cost However Greater
First War Ship Ever Built by the
Government.
There is great rivalry between the
United States Navy Yard at Brooklyn
and u private shipbuilding concern at
Newport News, over the construction
Of the two naval war leviathans. Con
necticut and Louisiana. The Govern
ment is building the Connecticut, and
the shipbuilding company Is rushing
toward completion the Louisiana.
The figures given out but short time
ago by the Navy Department show
that the Connecticut Is 91.36 per cent
completed, while her sister ship shows
q percentage Of completion of S9.23.
A comparison shows then that the
Government-bullt boat has slight
lead. which is all the more gratifying
to the champions of Government con-
truction when 1t is considered that
this is the first battleship ever built
in the United States by any other
than private constructors and that 1t
was predicted that the Government
could not compete with private build
ers. Nevertheless the Government
ship win cost the moro.

l, 1902 authority was granted for the
construction of two battleships after
ward named the Connecticut and
Louisiana, each 450 feet long, 76 is
feet wide, with n draft OF 2i feet &
inches. A short time after this action
Of Congress, the Navy Department de-
cided to have one Of the battleshipS
constructed by private parties, the
Government endeavoring to build the
other.
Government Got Bad Start Too.
The contract for the Louisiana was
let to the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company who laid the
keel for that vessel on February Z,
1903, while the Government was de-
layed in the construction of its vessel
SO much that the keel was not laid
down until March 10 of the same
year. The Government was further
delayed in building the Connecticut
owing to non arrival of necessary ma
chinery and armor plate, yet with all
Of these draw ba cks the latest figures
published by the Navy Department
show the Goyernmcntbuilt boat
farther advanced -oward completion
than that being erected by private
concern. The Louisiana was the first
to receive its christening, having been
launched August 27, 1904; the Con-
necticut did not take to the waves
until September - of the same year.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard. where the
Connecticut Is bcing built Is now en-
ploying over 1000 men on the battle
ship aud 1t Is stated that there is
still room for 200 more workmen.
With the rapid progress now being
made on the vessels 1t is estimated
that they will be ready to go into
commission by June of next year.
Must Formidable OF War S hips.
These battleships when completed
will be among the most formidable
war vessels of the world; the main
battery on each will consist of four
Pinch, eight S-inch and twelve Z
inch rifles; the secondary battery will
have twenty 3-inch rapid fire guns,
twelve 3pOunders, eight 1-pounders
and a number OF rapid fire guns of
smaller calibre. There will also be
four submerged torpedo tubes The
ships will have ample protection by
heavy armor nnging in thickness
from nine TO eleven inches. The con-
tract calls for vessels of 10000 tors
displacement, with a steamlng capaci-
ty, at 10 knots per hour, of 5000 miles
without recoaling. They are expect
ed. however, to make IS knots per
hour ut the official trial. Each ship
will be manned by S55 officers and
men. The contract price OF the Lou
isinna Is $3,990,000 while the Connect
icut Is expected To cost S1,212OoO.

de attention then as now, for in 1491
we find another act in which "fute-
bale and golfe". were roasted to a
turn and prohibited under severe
penalties.
The unregenerate of Scotland were
much given to playing football on
Sunday. At first 1t interfered with
the practice of archery on the Sew
enth Day, and later, when the Sab
batarian movement had acquired
prominence, 1t kept people away from
church,so in 1891 we find the town
council of Edinburgh strictly forbid
ding the playing Of matches ON the
Sabbath.
Not only was the game itself
rough, but 1t attracted great con-
courses of people who were willing
at all times to Jump In with clubs
and other weapons and resent un-
fairness or poor decisions. For
some reason Shrove Tuesday was the
great dnte for annual contests, cor
responding to what Thanksgiving Day
used to be in this country. On this
day the crowds swurmed out to the
green's and from the descriptions we
have, their conduct before and after
the games would have made the wild
nights few years ago in the New
York Tenderloin after a big game In
that city look like Sunday School
picnic.

Chestnuts are a very similar food to
potatoes. The chestnut. however. is
the more nutritious of the two. The
chestnut has only 80 per cent. water
while the potato has 76 per cent. Of wa.

the chestnut leads the potato. The
chestnut may be cooked exactly as the
potato Is, boiled. baked or roasted.
The culture Of the chestnut tree in
this country has as yet been neglected
and furnishes an inviting field for en-

 Dick stopped abruptly and stared Into vacancy for a moment; then he laid aside what he had written and began anew:
 Mrs. Thomas Howard: Dear Madam-Your favor without date. telling me of your marriage, has been received. Permit me to extend my congratulations I regret that I shall not have the honor of meeting your husband on your return, as I

 For the third time Dick paused and a malignant expression passed over
 his face. He laid the three letters before him and read them over again and again. At last with a sudden ges- ture he tore up two of them, signed his name to the one remaining, placed it in an envelope and without pausing to think, rushed out into the hall ana slipped it into the mail chute As it vanished from his sight ne went slow fly and despairingly back to his room.

 The question of national quarantine Is looming larger every day as the fever spreads to the smaller towns and cities. injurins their business, as 1t has that of New Orleans, and bringing home to them the seriousness of irrational re- strictions.

 men of the downtown business district. The petition addressed to the Council prays that a rigid city quarantine pc put on against all infected points. II was freely signed by business men.
 The city has not until this time put on train quarantine. Acting Mayor Q. P. Mcintyre has the authority to order a city quarantine under the law but he has said frankly that he does not be- iieve that a city quarantine could be any more effective than the State quar- antine. He has said further that his course in declining to order the train quarantine has been guided by the ad- vice of the State, county and municipal health officers.
 The petition of the business men. when 1t is presented Monday night at the Council meeting, again will reopen the doors for another discussion of uuarantines and their efficiency.
