.RATTLESHIP RAMMED
TuF liner MONROE PUTS THE
VIRGINIA To THE BAD.
a.ttleship's Steering Gear Is Derang-
ID. Causing the Accident-Nons

oinia Will Soon Be Repaired-ls
BAKED on the Starboard Quarter.

Norfolk. Va, Nov. 4.-The battle
.hin Virginia was rammed Saturday in
hampton Roads by the Old Dominion
liner Monroe. Both vessels came af-
forwards to this port.
The Monroe, inward bound from
New York, landed her passengers at
her pier, while the battleship, follow
inc shortly under her own steam, pro-
ceeded to the Norfolk navy yard.
The Virginia sailed from Old Point
.bout 9 O'Clock bound for Norfolk.
shortly afterwards the Monroe came
IN following the battleship through
hampton Roads. Off Seawall's point
the Virginia slowed down and the
Monroe Immediately rang down.
The Virginia's steering gear seemed
IN become deranged and she steered
ont of her course. The Monroe could
not stop nor change her course in time,
and struck the battleship on the after
mart of her armor belt and raked her
starboard quarter. One set of the bat
t,eship's davits were turned inboard,
while two of the six inch and one of
the three inch after guns were raked
and otherwise materially damaged.
The Monroe sustained bad twist of
her steel prov and the damage to her
may prove more serious than is now
apparent. A survey will be made of
both vessels.
There were many immigrants aboard
the Monroe, and when the ships
crashed the women set up a loud out
CRY. They were soon Gained.
It is stated that the battleship had
no pilot aboard at the time of the col
lision. The Old Dominion officers state
that the Monroe is not badly damaged.
It is stated at the navy department
that the accident to the Virginia will
not delay the department in making
use of the vessel. as she had just been
ordered to the Norfolk navy yard to
be laid up for two months to make
necessary changes in her ordnance
outfit.

Old but Persistent Errors.

Everywhere one hears, II seen Jim
yesterday and he told me he done well
at that job" The people who may b
broadly characterized as the II seen
done" tribe pervade everything and
seem to include nearly everybody.
When it comes to verbs like "lie,
lay, lain" and "lay, laid, laid" or SIT
sat, sat-" and "set, set, set" the best
Of us are liable to error, and mistakes
are pardonable. But what excuse can
anybody find for confusing "see. saw.
seen," or do, did, done?" 1t Is the
first verb which suffers the more for
those who do not say II seen him
yesterday are likely to say II see hiD
yesterday" whereas even those who say
II done it yesterday" never fall into
the absurdity of Il do it yesterday."-

Fireworks.

Fireworks originated In the thir.

first employed by the Florentines, and
later the use of fireworks became pop
ular in Rome at the creation Of the
Popes.
The first fireworks which resemble
those which we see nowadays were
manufactured by Tore, an Italia
artist, and displayed In Paris in 176A

Madrid, Nov. 5.-Latest among the

child-little nine-year-old Pepito Ar
riola.
This young Spanish pianist is so
tiny that a special piano has been
luilt for his baby fingers, and the
KEYS of the instrument are consider
ably narrower than those of full
sized piano.
In appearance he is a typical dark
skinned, black-haired, little Spaniard.
Besides being a pianist Pepito is also
composer; he has written a march
which has been accepted by the King
of Spain.
