SHAM BATTLE.
Admiral Dickens Mad, Early Morning Attack
 On Fort Howard.

bdlIilnOre, June lZ.-ln an extra edition the American gives the follow ing account of. the attack on Fort Howard:
 Admiral Dickins did the unexpected thing by making an early morning attack on Fort Howard and the other local Notifications, and three torpedo boat destrOyeEs were theoretically blown out of the water by the artil- lerymen stationed at Fort Howard. Two of these answered the descrip- tions of the WOrden and Whipple. while the third was either the Me Don0ugh, Steuart or Lawrence.
 Promptly at midnight scout boats were sent out from the local fortifica- tions. At 12:50 o'clock these boats signalled the artillerymen at Fort Howard that the 'enemy" were ap- preaching and all the men at the fort were immediately called to the guns.
 Almost simultaneously the men were warned of the approach of the boats by the signals at Sandy Point. The searchlights at Forts Howar1. Small wood, Armistead and Carroll were headed down the river, and very soon Il ueStIottI IcctilluiiuB IuC NoiuCh was detected steaming up the river at full speed. Five min utes after receiving the first signals the men at Fort Howard opened fire on the approaching de- stroyer with rapid fire and short range guns. While the Wo-den was theoret- ically blown up she proceeded past Fort Howard and on up the river. The other forts immediately got their guns into action and all took turns in shoot ing at the approaching enemy"
 About fifteen minutes after the ap- proach of the first of the "enemy's" fleet another destroyer, evidently the whipple, was discovered. This vessel suffered the same fate as the first. A third destroyer soon made its appear ance and like the other two was sunk"
 The first two boats -endeavored to sneak by the forts without making any demonstration, but the one in the lead was soon put out of commission by striking a mine. This was slgni- fled by the ringing of bell in Fort Howard.
 The third boat, though put out of business, opened fire on all four of the forts and the sight was a most ex- citing one. Broadsides were fired by the third destroyer when 1t reached a point between Forts Armistead and Carroll. No lights were used on any of the boats and the fire from the guns made an imposing sight.
 It is believed that the destroyers were sent on ahead of the rest of the fleet to get the range of the forts. draw the fire and ascertain whether the men were at their guns.
 Later a fourth destroyer was discov- cred and "sunk." Then the battleship Texas made q frontal demonstration. and from Seven Foot knoll fired her big and little guns at Fort Howard. While the Texas was making this demonstration a swift cruiser made a flank movement and went up the hay toward Poole's Island. It was discov- cred in the nick of time by the men at Fort Howard. who fired on the ship. The fire was returned. and after a lively skirmish the gunners at the fort theoretically sent both the Texas and the cruiser to the bottom.
 After the battle the cruiser sent up rocket and then ran up a red and white light and directed her search lights towards the forts.

There is no longer any doubt that

PEELED by the list of marriages it seems
to cause.
Most of US are willing to cast our

Some people are like snakes - even
though crushed, they continue to

career.
That fellow who died in Kansas the

Arpin town climate must be just
too lovely for anything, judging from
the number of marriage permits issued
to residents of that town this week
When you hear a woman say she
hates to ask her husband for money,
you can rest assured that her husband
is somewhere saying "Amen' with
great fervor.
MOdesty, the grandeSt attribute of
woman, is apt to make a man act
rather silly.
Many a man who attempts to call

1t is easy to fall into the water, but

Stolen sweets are often very hard

After a woman has been afflicted

Man eats to please himself and he
