John Camden Neiid, whose magnif-
cent beQuest to Queen Victoria sup
piled the funds out Of which the prince
consort built the present BaImoral
castle, deserves place among the
great misers and was as remarkable a
man as any of them. He was educat-
ed at Elton and Trinity college, Cam
bridge, and was a barrister at Lin
coins Inn. At the age Of thirty-four
his fathers death placed him in pos
session of a fortune of ESQ, 900, and
from that moment he became a con-
frmed miser. Neild lived at Cheyne
walk. Chelsea His big house was so
meanly furnished that 1t did not even
boast of bed. Two old women, who
did his chores, and a black cat were
his sole companions. When he visited
his large estates in the Midlands,
which he did frequently, he generally
walked unless he could get lift for
nothing, and he was not even above
taking a gratuitous seat on a dung
cart. Sometimes he was compelled by
the weather TO take a seat on the
and there he would sit
shivering and dripping, for he
never wore a greatcoat. an object of
to his fellow passen-
gers.

The plans of the big 20.000-ton bat
teship which it is proposed to build,
and which is 20 be the equal, if not
the superior, of any battleship af1oat,
were presented to the senate the other
day by Senator Hale. They have pro-
voked great deal OF speculation as
&c the adyisability Of constructing
battleships of that size. The experts
of CUR navy, however, have given the
question great deal Of thought, and
congress is following their judgment
in the matter. The fact that Great
Britain has built battleship Of 10000
tons displacement is regarded as 3
yCry good reason why this country
should build one Of equal size. Great
Britain has made naval problems
more OF study than this country has,
and. besides, il is the impression that
she and Japan get some points from
the naval part CT the war between
Russia and Japan that encourage the
building of big battleships. 1t is
worthy of notice that Japan is build
ing d battleship Of 10000 tons, follow
ing closely Great Britain's policy in
the matter of big ships. There is a
report current that Germany is plan
ming to build battleship of $4,000
tons but it hasn't yet been officially
confirmed.
Admiral Beresford of the British
navy. who arrived in New York a few
days ago, in speaking of matters per
tanning to the British navy, said that
the Dreadnought had proven TO be a
great success. but that certain little
defects had become apparent. They
wouldn't have been learned, however,
except by experimental tests. These
defects will be eliminated in new ships
which have been projected OF course
our naval constructors will endeayOr

THE JAP WAR SCARE.
New Orleans States


Whatever the emergency or occa-
sion the American people can be de-
pended on TO remain level-headed,
hence they have not been in the least
disturbed by the wild talk to the eff
feet that a war with Japan is not only
inevitable but actually at their door.
They saw at a glance that at the bot
tom of this talk was a thick stratum
OF politics of the Washington brand
and that the alarming stories were
given out to accomplish two things.
I First to spur congress into voting
more money for battleshIps, and sec
ond, TO induce the people of Califor-
MIA to yield to the desires of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and admit Japanese
children TO the public schools.
The country listened to all the talk
about a war with Japan without get
ting nervous or excited, because it
realized that such a war would not
come unless Japan deliberately forced
1t on us, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that the Mikados government is
in a condition or has a-:y idea of en-
gaging in such a costly and doubtful
venture. However, the war talk has
on the whole been instructive, because
it has shown how much our defensive
power has been weakened by our pos
session of distant islands which have
yet to demonstrate that they are OF
any earthly value to u.
The country has noted that the pos
sibility of war was sufficient to cause
the navy department to decide if war
should come We must adopt the
policy Of scuttle" and run away from

powerful army and navy, would soon 4

While the war talk has not alarmed |
or excited our people, there is much
reason to think that it has taught them
some valuable lessons Evidence is
not wanting that it has exploded the
