back for the target grounds off Prov
incetown. !.
How the powder became ignited
is not yet known, but the theory held
at the navy yard is that it was set
off by spark from the smokestack
Of the vessel.
Immediately after the accident the
Georgia headed for Charlestown navy
yards, where the dead and injured
were taken ashore, the wounded men
being conveyed to the naval hospital
at Chelsea.
Georgia is New Ship.
The Georgia is one of the ships Of
the second division of the second AT
lantic feet, which has been at tar
get practice off Provincetown for the
last three weeks. She is one of the
newest battleships of the navy, hav-
ing been in commission about ten
month. She is commanded by Henry
McRea.
Safeguards Failed.
Washington, July is The navy de-
partment received a number of mes
sages today reporting the explosion
on the batt1eship Georgia in Massa-
chusetts bay. Instructions were i'm
mediately telegraphed by Acting Sec
rotary NeWberry, directing the hos
pital authorities to do everything
possible to care for the victims of
the disaster and telegram was sent
to the ships officers expressing con-
dolence. 1
Aside from their deep concern over
injuries suffered by the unfortunate
crew of the Georgia, the officers at
the navy department We're good
deai cast down when they learned OF
the accident, as it tended to shake
the confidence in which they had rest
ed for more than a year in the per-
lection Of regulations so carefully
framed with a view to safeguarding
human life in the turrets.
Will Go to the Pacific.
The navy department expressed
confidence tonight that the despatch
Of the Georgia with the Atlantic fleet
on its projected cruise to the Pacific
| would not be cancelled.

Want Ernest J. Waterman for Captain

The special inspection which was to
be given Company / Tuesday night by
Adiutant General Gilmore and Lieu
tenant A. l. Chapman was indefinitely
postponed on account of the resigna-
ton of Captain Louis II. Henkel last
Friday. This step on the part of Cap
tain Henkel was due in part to the dis
satisfaction among the enlisted men
of the company because of low stand
ing shown at the regular inspection
last March and which necessitated
the call of a special inspection. At
the meeting of the company last night
Captain Henkel's resignation was
read by Col. J. G.. Estey. Orders were
received by Lieutenant Charles Fl.
Davis and published last night for
special meeting to elect captain.
This will take place next Friday
night. Among those prominently men
toned is Ernest J. Waterman who was
captain of the company previous to
the term of Colonel E. W. Gibson at
the head of the company. 1t is UNI
derstood that Mr.. Waterman has been
approached by several but has yet
given little encouragement of accep-
tance if the position is rendered to
him. The feeling among the enlisted
men is little less than demand upon
Mr.. Waterman to assume the position.
The company sadly needs at its head
man of ability, efficiency and ex-
perience and as Mr.. Waterman en-
bodies these requisites it is greatly
hoped that he will be induced to stand
for election. Captain Henkel was
elected Feb. IS of this year. He has
been member of the Vermont Ma
tional guard almost continuously since
1887.

The first class in this work will be

A wild animal thought to be a
wildcat has been creating considerable
disturbance in the extreme northern
part of the town during the past week,
and although traps have been set for
him in every conceivable place he has
Tins far eluded the efforts of his
would be captors. The cat visited
tbe benhouse of b. S. Balestier the 9th
er night and bit the life out of III
plump pullets, hiding them in various
nlaces about the farm evidently with
the idea of drawing upon the supply
from time to time during the winter.
Mr.. Balestier found one Of the dead
fowls under a board and Immediately
set a trap there but during the night
the animal carefully extracted the
carcass from the opposite side of the
hoard from which the trap was set.
Since then other traps have been set
but the cat seems to have no trouble
in eluding them and makes nightly
calls at the Balestier farm. Several
people in the neighborhood have
caught glimpses of the animal and
story was in circulation the first OF
the week that it had chased woman.
II is claimed by some that the in
crease in wildcats hereabouts is due
TO the abundance of small game but
in this immediate section partridge
and woodcock have been unusually
scarce this fall.

The Gentle Cynic.

It's the things we don't get that Of
ten make us happiest.
Lots of fellows would be satisfied
with any kind of job they can get.
The difference between firmness and
obstinacy is merely a matter of sex.
II the truth were known, a lot of
family trees are nothing but stunt
ed underbrush.
Wonder If the great men ever have
the nerve to smoke the 5-cent cigars
named after them?
OF the making of books there is no
end, as many a race track follower
has discovered to his sorrow.
Some children are so precocious that
It doesn't seem possible that they
could have been born at such an ear
ly age.
Our grandfathers used tC wear
nightcaps, bur we take them Internal
ly.
Some women act as though their
husbands ought to put even their
happiness in the wife's name.

PardOnable Offences.

After a careful canvass these have
been found to be pardonable sins:
Lying about fish One can hardly
be expected, in explaining the length
of his fish, to use microscope.
Saying you're not at home. This
is the pardonaple sin of social circles
usually and of men who have calls
from collectors frequently.
Lying about your remarkable
children. OF course a fellow doesn't
really lie, but when he thinks of
something bright his four-year-old
might have said he hesitates through
modesty to admit authorship and so
it is properly attributed to the four
year-old.
Suppressing, altering or otherwise
Disgusting the fact of your age, false
hair and wrinkles.
Beating the other fellows story.
Example: Jones has just finished a
story; Smith waits impatiently to the
end and then begins: That's moth
ing. Why, when was touring the
West with Custer''--&c.

Failed.

All efforts have failed to find a
better remedy for coughs, colds and
lung troubles than Foley's Honey
and Tar. 1t stops the cough, heals
the lungs and prevents serious results
from a cold. J. n. Patterson, Nash
ua, Iowa, writes: Last winter /
had bad cold on my lungs and tried
at least half a dozen advertised
cough medicines and had treatment
from two physicians without getting
any benefit. A friend recommended
Foley's Honey and Tar and two thirds
of bottle cured me. / consider 1t

Electricity as Field for Invention.

BY far the greatest activity in in
vention during the past few years
has been in the electrical field. Thou
sands of patents have been taken out
but there are still a great many
things which are needed, and needed
badly. The serious problems which
are perplexing the hundreds of scien-
lists and inventors are legion and a
fortune awaits the man who will per-
feet a better filament for incandes-
cent lamps; a perfect insulating ma
terial; trolly wheel that won't come
off the trolly: new and lighter stor-
age battery; a wireless method of
directing torpedo boats and discharg-
ing submarine mines; non-mechanical
electric generators; the transmission
of electric power without wires; the
wireless telephone; the self-contain-
ed electric car without trolly or third
rail; more efficient arc lights; better
batteries and a household motor
adapted to various uses.
Apparently some of these things
are impossible but it should be re-
membered that many of the greatest
scientists of the age said the mean
descent lamp was impossible up to
the announcement of Thomas A. Ed
ison's invention, twenty-five years
ago. These things will all come in
time, perhaps tomorrow,
The world wants a more economi-
cal electric light. The present mean
descent lamp wastes 80 per cent. of
the electrical energy. Scientists are
trying to discover how to produce
electric light without heat. The fire
fly does it-but how?
A perfect insulator for high voltage
transmission lines is yet to be found.
A cheap lightweight, strong sub
stance that can be formed easily and
has high insulating properties would
be worth a fortune to the discoverer.
A new storage battery of light
weight and increased capacity is in
great demand. The present storage
battery with its lead plates is very
heaVy
