Dallas. Tex. March % On Oc-

Riddle. the white barkeeper, and kill
ed him by shooting him through the
back of the head Riddle was at
the time attending TO some matter at
a cigar stand and did not know of the
negro's presence. The state court of
appeals yesterday decreed that the
death sentence imposed on Fleming
by the trial jury for his crime shall
stand The race issue figured in
the tragedy. Fleming had declared
to Riddle that his 'colored lady

woman. Riddle made him get on
his knees at the point of pistol and
retract what he had said. This is
Fleming's statement of why he
treacherously killed Riddle.

man to enter #, and an iron ladder led down
TO the bottom. afording opportunities to exam
ine the inside and note the effects of an eXplo-
sion OF the plates. The caissOn sent down
TO Sandy Hook at a cost of 81 600 for transpor-
t2tion. The 200-ton electric crane Hercules
lifted the big steel target from the pier in sling
Of heavy chains, and lowered it slowly into the
water.
1t was then righted and the ballast of pig iron
placed inside while the crane still held a firm
grip on the structure to steady It and keep the
proper balance.
After it arrived at Sandy Hook several tor
pedoes were shot at the target. Finally about
a hundred pounds of a new high explosive In
a 21-inch torpedo warhead was exploded hfty
feet away. This represented the average charge
that will be fired from the torpedo tubes OF
battleships and torpedo boat destrOyers with the
new torpedoes The effect demonstrated that In
an actual engagement it would probably sink or
disable the most up-tO-date battleShip. When
the great upheaval of water had cleared away
after the explosion the target had sunk.
A diver went below and examined the damage
done by the explosion. The whole end of the
target was stove in and it was evident that any
vessel receiving such injury would be put out
of commission at once. The target raised
and will be used again The tests expected
to yield new and valuable information regarding
the use of torpedoes.

RE1L TEST OF TORPEDO.
Target Like Part of Battleship
Sunk IN Practice.

A short distance out to sea from Sandy Hook
one of the most realistic bits Of mimic warfare
ever seen around New York Harbor was recently
enacted. The regulation target shooting land
at the proving grounds is tame compared with
this thrilling experiment
An important problem of modern sea fight
ing which has more or less remained guess
work is the exact effect of the explosion OF
torpedo on a modern battIeship. In the late
Russo-Japanese War the work of the Japanese
in this direction is reported TO have been ex-
tremey effective. but it has not been fully made
public. Government officials however, may soon
know from actual tests just what injury the
bursting Of the torpedo will do If ii is sent
home even If il is exploded some distance
from the side of a warship
Torpedoes of new 21-inch type which will
travel four thousand yards, are now being built
for the navy at cost Of nearly $1,000 each,
and before ordering too many of these expensive
fighting machines exhaustive trials will be made
20 determine exactly their real worth as engines
of destruction.
For these experiments there was recently con-
structed at the Brooklyn navy yard a huge
armored caisson for the Ordnance Department
This peculiar target represented a complete ar
mored section of the latest type Of battleship.

FALSE TEETH COST MORE.

AS the result OF a scarcity Of platinum the
price OF false teeth is mounting at an alarming
rate. Within the last thirty days the increase
has amounted to over 81 per set, and the end
is not in sight. Should the crop of platinum
fail entirely it is asserted that false teeth will
become as scarce as proverbial hens teeth
In view Of the upward tendency Of the mar
ket local dentists obtaining supplies Of near
molars in order to carry out contracts already
on their books New customers will have to
pay the higher prices demanded or put up with
last years styles
Since dentistry has reached its present plane
of perfection IT has been almost impossible to
supply the increasing demand. and without
platinum there will be teeth-that Is, artl-
fcial teeth.-Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.

an operate adaptation Of John Luther Longs
pathetic Japanese narrative made by the italian
librettists, Siglors Illica and Giacosa. The ap-
peal OF the opera springs as much from the
libretto from the music with which Puccinl
has sought TO intensity IL. The Italian book has
been rendered into English by r. H. Elkin. of
London, for Mr.. Savage's production Of the work

both japanese, and the atmosphere Of life in the
F1owery Isle is maintained in the costumes and
decorations we'll as in the dramatic action
Of the story.
Much Of the first act music is deliberately
