napolis the course consisted of six years. four years at the academy and two years at sea.
 After completing the four years in the academy he was assigned, with the rank of naval cadet, to the San Francisco. which was stationed at Colon. in Central American waters, and afterward to the Marbehead on the European station. At the open. ing of the Kiel canal in 1895, he was an ensign aboard the New York.
 After being graduated in 1896. he was reassigned Id the San Francisco and then again to the Marblehead.
 Lieut.. England was the navigating officer of the Chattanooga. and in that capacity ranked second 10 the com handing officer. He was in line for promotion and would have been ad. yanced within the next two years. The position of navigating officer on a cruiser, the size of the Chattanooga is usually held by men of far more mature years than Lieut.. England and that he was given such re sponsible assignment was high tribute 10 his ability.

Fuel From Alcohol.

'DenaturiZed" alcohol is alcohol
made undrinkable and uncomfortable
in beverages. In his talk in support of
this measure before the ways and
means committee, Secretary Wilson of
the agricultural department showed
that the soil could be made to produce
in alcohol all the fuel that the country
needs. and added:
The northern states could readily
depend upon the white potato as
source of heat and light, the south
ern states upon the yam and the sweet
potato. and the western states upon
the sugar beet The average amount
of sugar and starch which goes to
waste in the stalks of Indian corn an
nually would make 100 gallons of com
mercial alcohol per acre. When we
consider that the number of acres in
Indian corn is approximately 100, 000.
600 il is seen that the quantity of al
cohol that is lost III the stalks is so
large as 10 he almost beyond the grasp
of our conception
This explains the value to the peo-
pie of free denaturized alcohol, and it
also shows the reason the oil and coal
monOpOlies opposed it.
With free alcohol as provided by the
bill referred to. there need be no long
er Il distressful apprehension of the
woes that will come upon the people
when the supply of coal is exhausted.
The millions Will no longer be afflict-
ed by inordinate demands of the coal
combines or by strikes of miners or
lockOuts of operators. Alcohol can be
produced at a very small cost and in
practically unlimited quantities. 1t is
in all things that grow. in both the
vegetable and animal kingdoms. Ii
has been the source of both great evil
and OF great good to mankind. Here
after it promises TO swell immeasura-
bly, the credit side of the account.
Meanwhile there is probably much
more than bare possibility that prac-
teal science will be able to store the
surplus heat of the summers sunshine
and render it available for all the pur-
poses served by fuel.

is GOOD FOR THE STREETS
Road Drag Used in Kansas Town With
Fine Results.


Public interest in the good roads
movement has reached a height never
before attained in Kansas. now that it
has been demonstrated that good roads
are possible without money. The King
split log drag does the business-no
mistake about it. Street Commission
CT Hoover has been using the King
drag on the city streets for six or eight
months past. and the results are very
satisfactory. Our streets as a whole
were never in better condition at this
season of the year than they are at
the present time. and there is no doubt
in the minds of those who have watch
ed the experiments but that the drag
is greatly responsible for the improved
conditions. Our farmers, too, have
been watching the work. The more
they see and learn of the King drag,
the better they like it; they become
convinced that it has no equal as
road builder. During the past week
number of farmers have told us that
they proposed making split-log drags
preparatory to going into the road
building business on their individual
accounts We are also informed that
half dozen or more drags are already
in operation on the Topeka road north

Ripe for q Change.

Republican practical politicians who
have turned the management of the
next congressional campaign over 10
new hands seem to be rejoicing in a
sort of pessimism regarding the No
vember elections y Washington spe
ciaI To- the Chicago RecOrd-Herald
says: Back of this pessimism there
is a good deal of feeling against Speak
er Cannon. which is manifested in the
declaration that even if the republicans
do win this year their majority will be
so reduced in the house as to put Il
curb on the speakers imperialiStic
power and minimize Uncle JOe'S'
chances for that presidential nomina-
ton his friends are so insistent on
booming. y former manager of re-
publican campaigns is quoted: eff we
have % majority in the next house we
viii do mighty well and there is a
strong possibility that there will be no
majority at all. Pennsylvania has gone
all 10 pieces. New York is all torn up
with fractional differences, Ohio is in
q bad way. Iowa is in a muddle that
may give the democrats clean sweep.
West Virginia is disjointed; in fact,
there are few northern states where the
normal republican conditions prevail.
This. in conjunction with the tariff
revision sentiment that has been block

NEW YORK'S CHANCES
TO WIN PENNANT

NEW YORK. August 31.-Two victories
by the Yankees yesterday SO increased the
hopes Of New York base ball enthusiasts
that last night they were figuring out how
the Yankees might yet win the pennant
from the Chicago White Sox. They pointed
to the fact that the Yankees are only three
and a half games behind the leaders. and
that IL they win their dOuble-header today
and tomorrow from Washington, Chicago
in the meantime winning her two games
from Cleveland. the standing will be: Chi
cago. won Y. lost 40; New York. won o.
lost 49, This would decrease Chicago's lead
to fewer than three games. which, it is
thought by their optimistic followers the
Yankees can surely overcome.
Figuring still further, New York enthu-
siasts last night called attention to the dis
advantage OF the Chicagos in having three
fewer games to play than the Yankees, who
yet have forty-one unplayed ones, to Chi
Cages thirty-eght. The season does not
end until the first week in October with
troit at Chicago on October Z. II from now
on until then the Yankees should win three
quarters OF their games their record would
be: Won. %; lost. So. Suppose the Chicagos
should not do quite 50 well. losing only
three more than the New York nine, Chi
cago would then lose the championship.
with a record Of IS games won and 80
lost But. no matter how the matter is
figured. friends OF the Yankees last night
pointed to the small margin Of fewer than
four games which still separates the first
two as evidence of why they think the New
Yorks still have a great chance to win the
American League championship
