UNTRUE
Russian Admiral Says Order Has Not Yet Been Placed
 For a New BattIeship
WILL BE OF 22,sO0 TONS

St Petersburg, Sept 24-The an- nouncement that the Russian admiral ty had ordered a battleship of 22,S0O tons to be constructed at the Baltic works here appears to be premature. Admiral Bostrem the assistant minis ter of marine, said to-day that the or der had not yet been placed, as the plans for the warship were not yet ready. The admiralty, he added, was in no hurry to begin the construc- tion of the new navy and would wait until the entire program had been ap- proved, and the plans of warships had been finished, even to the smallest de- tails.
 The admiralty, however, has decid- ed to build homogeneous squadrons, consisting of four battleships, eight cruisers and the requisite number of torpedo boats and other craft. The plans for the first squadron are being prepared by the admalty. It is known that the British battleship Dreadnought has been established as a standard from which the Russian designers cannot deviate very much. The tonnage of the Russian Dread noughts will be somewhat less than 23,OOO. All orders for the work of re- constructing the Russian fleet will be executed in this country, barring an occasional order, judiciously appor- tioned between the foreign builders in rder to keep up connexions with them.
 The admiralty is aware that the re- construction of the fleet at home ne- cessitates radical reforms in Russian shipbuilding, but all the rumors to the effect that the government Intends to sell it's shipyards to foreigners are de- nied. On the other hand it is stated on reliable authority that the new ad- miralty shipyard and the immense lZhor steel armor works, which hith- erto have been purely government in- stitutions conducted on the bureaucra- tic principle, will from the beginnng of October next, become chartered companes, to be run on a strictly con- mercial basis in regard to profits and losses. The admiralty will own the stck of these companes as it now owns the stock of the Baltic works and that of the Obuchovo gun foundry.
 Admiral Bostrem also said that the latest trial of the Rurik, the first class armored cruiser of 15,000 tons, built in England for Russia, had been satisfactory, she having attained her contract speed of 21 knots per hour.

GETS 500 POST CARDS,
Came from All Over Country, All in & Bunch,

Ellis Island immigrants, Coney Is- land dancing girls, Chicago fat men, small men of Boston, New York girls and Chicago boys-all on picture post cards-came through the mail yesterday morning and were dumped in great piles on Labor Commission CT William H. Scoville's desk at the capitol, causin ghim both surprise and pleasure.
 That so many missives should de- scend upon the commissioner in one morning was the result of conspir- acy by other oficeholders at the cap itol, and to make the pleasant joke successful, clerks, stenographers and friends, both afr and near,were made useful, with the result that it seemed as if all the cities of the eastern states and many of those of the west were represented in the collection.
 There was not duplicate among the entire 500 cards, and as every one was of the comic vairety it will be seen that there was plenty of fun when Chester Leonard, the mail car rier, made his rounds. Commissioner Scoville spent most of the day look ing at the pictures. Later he will try to tell by the addresses who sent someof the cards, though as he said yesterday, it would be rather dicult for him to get even with all the senders. He needs monster album in. which to keep the cards and is hoping that some one will start conspiracy to get one.

HIS TORN TROUSERS.
Simple and Effective Graft Scheme
 Worked In New York.

Simple and Effective Graft Scheme
 Worked In New York.
 Here is the story of graft so simple and effective to work that some enter prising stranger should patent it. It was practiced by New York genius and had its try-out on the respectable upper west side of the big city.
 The originator set out dressed as a workman, his clothes rusty, but neatly patched. Arriving in the neighborhood he had decided to work, he stepped into an archway and, hauling out a knife, slit the right leg of his trousers from hip to knee.
 Next he produced a newspaper, spread 1t out and held 1t over the slit in his trousers. Leaving the arch way, he hurried along the sidewalk, making apparently, a. great effort to hold the newspaper in place.
 The wind was blowing and whoever cared to look noticed the mans pre- dicament. At the steps of big house in Seventy-second street he stopped and pretended to tie the paper about his leg. By perhaps not very strange chance, since the hour was 5:15 D. m., the owner of the house appeared.
 The grafter greeted the man briefly, lifted the newspaper and remarked:
 q just had an accident over on CO lumbus avenue. Truck showed me against stake and tore me pants somethin' awful. Wonder if you couldn't lend me some safety pins?"
 It was successful. From that house the man carried away not only readily salable pair of trousers, but d hat and coat as well. A quick trip to a corner saloon to deposit his bundle, and the tale of the torn trousers leg was carried to another house in the block.
 An observer with more sheer curios- ity than police instinct watched the collection of six bundles from six houses in Seventy-second street before he reluctantly left the window and went in to dinner - New York Cor. Washington Post.

JACKSON REMOVES BRACKET
Saratoga Senator Is Pushed Out of
 Broome County Inquiry.

Saratoga Senator Is Pushed Out of
 Broome County Inquiry.
 Albany, N. r., Sept. Exchanging former Senator Edgar T. Bracket of Saratoga with "insolent disobedience'' and otherwise criticising his conduct in the Broome county grand jury in. vestigation into accusations of Bing- hamton newspaper against District Attorney Roger P. Clark, Attorney General Jackson revoked Brackett's commission as a special deputy attor. ney general.
 The attorney general sent copy of the letter to Governor Hughes.
 Jackson in his letter to Bracket con. demns the former lawmaker particu- larly for failure to work in harmony with William A. Farley of Bingham. ton in applying for an adjournment of the investigation. Farley was appoint. ed by Jackson as the attorney gener- al's deputy in the case. Jackson says to Bracket in the letter:
 '"I think your conduct has tended to inspire doubt in the public mind, as it has in mine, as to your qualification as prosecutor, regarding disinterested- ness and impartiality. and, while I do not assume to speak for the governor, I know his disappointment will be as keen as mine that an affair of this na. ture should be clouded with any suspi. ciOn l"

Order of the chrysanthemur,

The Order of the Chrysanthemum, which the Japanese emperor is going to send to President Fallieres of France as a memento of the signing of the re- cent important Franco Japanese treaty, is the highest distinction which the mikado has at his disposal in the way of orders and honors. Like the Eng fish Order of the Garter, it is only con. ferred outside the Japanese empire on kings. emperors and distinguished heads of states. It cannot, however, compare in length of years and in his- torical associations with the Garter. having only been founded about thirty two years ago by the present emperor himself. None the less it is a hand- some decoration, the broad band of ribbon over the shoulder being of red silk, with a violet border. The in- signia itself is of gold, with much or namentation in colored enamel. which is made fin the shape of the national emblem.

 'The Irish potato will breed malaria in ones system and will injure diges- tion to a serious extent" said Charles T. Wilburn of Pittsburg. For years I suffered from attacks of malaria, in- digestion and liver complaint. I vis- ited some of the best physicians in this country. They told me many things. Finally one suggested that I stop eating Irish potatoes fin any form. Before then I had always eaten them, for they were my favorite vegetable. I stopped partaking of them, however, and in a little while I was getting bet ter. In six months I was almost well, and today am as healthy as anybody. I never eat Irish potatoes any more and think them most injurious."- Nashville TenDessean.
