CRAFT
WITH FLEET
Auxiliary Torpedo Boats and
DestrOyers May Join
Naval Display

WASHINGTON July 16.-Although
the question of sending torpedo boat
destroyers with the fleet from the At |
lantic to the Pacific was not decided
upon by the general naval board, the
matter is one of interest to officers at
the navy department.
Some officers think that there is no
good reason why five or six torpedo
boat destroyers should not go with
the fleet, but on the contrary, there
is very good reason why they should
be an integral part e. the aggrega-
ton.
. A modern feet, they say, would not
be complete without them, and il the
object of the cruise be only for prac-
tice and to "see," as Admiral Bronson
put it at oyster Bay, how fast they
can CO." the torpedo boat destroyers
are faster craft than the hattleships
or the cruisers. 1t is admitted every
where that there is no danger to be
/ annrehended while passing through
the Straits Of Magellan, yet the tor
pedo boats would be ideal scouts.
Show at Golden Gate.
1t is fairly we'll understood that,
Notwithstanding the arrangements for
coal en- route, some of the Golfers will
go with the feet or rather precede
them at proper distances. 1t is impos-
sible to "see how fast" the cruise could
be made if the GOLFERS are in the fleet
formation, for the speed of the fleet
must depend upon that of the slowest
vessels.
San Francisco will have reason to
be proud of it's naval show. 1t is fig
ured out here that without the contin-
gent of ships now on the Asiatic sta
ton there will be 80 warships in sight
of the Golden Gate. This number will
include the torpedo boat destroyers
and the vessels now on the coast.
Greatest of All Reviews.
But it is proposed to bring over the
Asiatic forces. Those which are con-
sidered real fighting craft are the -four
armored cruisers, West Virginia
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Colorado
and the monitors Monterey and Mo-
haolloCh. L HeSe duueu VIII give Io-
tai of 3S. 1t is alsot probable that
when the plans for the greatest of al
navy reviews are perfected even the
smaller cruisers and the gunboats will
come over from Asia and the tota
! force will amount to so fighting vas.
sells, great and small.
AS Admiral Dewey has pointed out
however, the Atlantic coast will 10
be without its defenses. For ar
emergency there would be left tht
Ohio, the Indiana, the Massachusett:
and the Texas, besides TORPEDO boa
destroyers, to say nothing of the bes
system of coast defenses in the world

MIGHT HAVE
Been WORSE
Auto Races Not Up to the
Standard OF Public
Expectation

Spokane and Butte were afF1icted /
several weeks ago; Walla Walla is
slowly recovering; Lewiston had it's
yesterday and the sympathy of all of
these communities is extended to
whichever city the Northwestern Au-
tomobiie association may select for
their next meeting,
1t was the old story of a poor track;
this has accounted for the character
of meetings which has been held in all
sections of the Northwest The peo-
pie who had paid IS cents to get into
the grandstand evidenced their en-
dorsement that something was the
matter by leaving the grounds before
the program was half over.
1t is true that the track was in bad
condition for racing but the associa-
ton has been in charge of the track
for the past several days and by
very small expenditure following the
heavy rain Of Saturday evening. the
course could have been placed in per-
| feet condition. The people paid their
money and were entitled to see some
/ thing for 1t.
The only feature of the program
that might be suggested as an excuse
| for charging an admission to see was
the race between the Thomas Flyer
and the Franklin Spider" a three
mile event, the time being 3:37k; but
this was pulled off after the people
had left the grounds.
People who witnessed the meet could
not see what objections the Ministerial
association Of Charleston could find to
holding such an affair on Sunday as it
was suggested that none of the ma
chimes could run fast enough to break
the Sabbath.
1t was roast for the management
of the meeting after the first two
events had been pulled off and after
the end of two hours bcmfwypcmf
enduring the scene for an hour the
evacuation of the grandstand common
ced and at the end of two hours but a
few remained to witness the closing
events.

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That from Natural Springs Is Gener
ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity of salt depends upon the
the sanitary conditions under which
1t is prepared for the market. The
supply of common salt, the most in
dispensable of all the seasoning sub
stances both as relishins condiment
and well-nigh universal food pre-
servative, is exhaustless, yet even so
there is salt and salt says the Pic
torial Review.
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, process that
left many impurities in the residuum,
to say nothing of its exposure to all
kinds of dirt in its shipment from sea
ports. The Turks island or rock salt,
which is still largely used in pork
packing and in the manufacture OF ice
creams. comes to the United States
in holds OF vessels continually sub
jected to dirt and foul odors. Upon
Its arrival 1t is again handled, then
packed in coarse burlap bags, permit
ting dust to sift into the salt. In this
condition it reaches the consumer.
Latterly, however, the product Of
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual
production from this source in the
United States reaches more than 40,-
600, 900 bushels, the state of New York

Y newspaper man the other day, and
good-naturedly asked explanation or
an incident which happened years
ago. On that occasion Mr.. Fairbanks
and the correspondent were chatting
pleasantly, when suddenly the latter
moved away to meet Senator Chand-
Ter OF Maine. The vice president said:
II have always had great curiosity to
know why you deserted me that day"
The newspaper man hesitated for a
moment, and then replied: TO tell
you the truth, Mr. Vice President, you
are a mighty dry source of news. You
may have nose for news, but l
doubt it, at any rate, you never give
up any. Now, when newspaper man
is cunning for big, live news he hasn't

The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar

One of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material. the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-

French Presidents Double.

M. Fallieres was until recently be-
lieved to be the only president OF the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is a respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly so oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents private
secretary. Dignified and with meas
ured steps the enviable double walks
through the Faubourg Saint Honore
and feels overjoyed at being saluted
on all sides.

SAFE, Sure and Speedy,

No external remedy ever yet de-
yised has SO fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as AllcocR's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
factured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dients which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

AND KILLS CASHIER.
ASSASSIN BLOWN TO PIECES
Fourth National Bank Scene of The
Disaster.-President Rushton Mar

Messenger Badly Mangled.

messenger oaoly mdH9ieu.
Philadelphia-Two men are dead. a
score OF others injured, two of whom
may die, and the beautiful interior of
bank building ruined as the result of
bomb being dropped into Fourth
Street National bank here Saturday
by ma:. who had demanded loan OF
S., 900 for which he could show no col
lateral. The perpetrator of the out
rage was Rollo Steele of Garner, Iowa,
and recently of Chicago. He was
blown to pieces by his own engine of
death. Nothing was left to identity
him save bunch of ten keys found in
fragment of clothing belonging to
him. A plate on the ring holding the
keys bore the name of "R. Steele, Gar
ner. Iowa"
The ether man killed by the eXplo-
sion was w u. McLear, cashier OF the
bank, who had been talking to the
stranger and had refused his request

The ran who dropped the bomb
called on Richard r. Rushton, presi-
dent OF the bank, also president OF the
Philadelphia Clearing House Associa.
ton, shortly before noon, and askeu
for loan of $4,000.
The president quickly sized MN up
as eccentric, and turned him over 10
the caohier, with the idea that the
latter would have him taken from the
builling. Before leaving, the man
showed Mr.. Rushton picture OF a
woman and n child, with the remark
Ain: they all right?"
A few moments later there was a
terrific explosion, which shook the big
buillng and completely wrecked the
intcrio. of the bank.
Cashier McLear was in MS once
when the man threw the bomb, and
was instantly killed. With the eXcep
tion of his right arm and shoulder, Mr
McLear was not mangled.
The most seriously injured is VIII
liam Crump, the colored messenger
who made a heroic attempt to seize
the object which the man was about
to drop but was an instant too late
The messenger, If he survives his ter
rible injuries, probably will be blind.
The explosion devastated the in
terror OF the big banking room. Glass
and wooden partitions were wrecked
and leyeled to the ground as though a
cyclone had swept through the place
Desks were ruiAed and iron bars were
twisted in fact, there was hardly an
object left intact in the room.
The explosion blew every one in the
banking room to the floor, and for a
moment they were daZed Many OF
them, not knowing what had happened
and fearing that the building, which is
an eigEt-story structure. was falling

ton among them. The roar of the eX
plosipn brought the tenants on all
floors to their feet and a general rush
was made to the elevators and stair
ways. As the excited people came
out there was a rush from the street to
rescue those who, it was thought, had
been caught in the explosion.
1t was announced that the bank
would resume business Monday. There
is good chance that all those hurt by
the explosion will recover.
