JAPAN CORNERS"
TORPEDOES
BUYS 1000 WHITEHEA0s WHILE
U. S. is NEGoTIATlNG.-cosT
WAS 100000.
American Navy Secretly Obtained So
But All Others Go To
Japanese.

NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-While the
United States has been secretly ne
gotiating with the whitehead Torpedo
Company OF England for the purchase
of fifty of the newest and most APP
proved English torpedoes, Japan has
stepped in and bought 1000 OF the
weapons at an expense of S5,OOO,OOO.
The torpedoes were purchased by
the Japanese at $4,000 each, immediate
" after the first negotiations of the
United States government. This in
formation comes from England and
has caused much surprise. 1t is be-
lieved the enormous purchase by the
, Japanese practically takes the White
head torpedoes from the market and
! that in case this government wishes
TO lay in an additional supply 1t will
have to wait some time for the torpe-
does to be delivered.
The new Whiteheads are declared
the most approved torpedoes now man
ufactured for naval warfare. They
are guaranteed to go four thousand
yards. while the best torpedoes in the
United States navy can only cover
$500 yards.
On Tearing that the new English
torpedoes surpassed any hitherto pro-
vided for warfare, the navy department
made secret arrangements for examl-
nation of the torpedoes and its pur-
chase for American ships. Lieut.
Chester Wells was instructed to pro-
coed quietly to England, make thor
ough investigation and report to the
department.
; This investigation resulted in In
structions to Lieut.. Wells to pur-
chase fifty for the navy at about So
I 600 each. A conditional order was
then issued BY the navy department
for an additional purchase of fifty. In
the meantime Japan stepped in and at
an expenditure of $5,0OO,OO0 practical
Nv retired all the available torpedoes
from the market.
Naval officers in Washington would
NOT comment yesterday on the pur-
chases of torpedoes 1t was admitted,
however, that fifty Whiteheads had
been bought for the government by
Lieut. Wells.

AMERICANS AND

WELL INFORMED.

do not think, says writer in Put
MANS Magazine that as a people we
lag behind the Athenian or any other
nation in our general knowledge OF
facts. On the contrary | believe that
in this sense the Americans are the
most intelligent human beings who
have ever trod this planet Our world
embracing daily newspapers bear wit
ness to our desire to be informed
and to be informed at once-in regard
to everything happening beneath the
sun-yes and within the closet, and
under the cover of night, and in the
dark recesses of human passion and
crime. There Is no matter of fact,
whether material or moral, personal
or impersonal, to which an American
is Indifferent. And his immense native
curiosity (which is also at the root OF
his inventiveness) is at once gratified
and stimulated by the ubiquitous and
omniscient reporters of the newspa-

AN OLD FABLE
RECALLED
cleveland Plain Dealer.)


The fable of the mother meadow
lark, who made her nest in the farm
er's grain field, is recalled by the pas
for If church in a minor Massa-
chusetts town. 1t will be remembered
that the lark refused to be disquleted
when she heard that the farmer in
tended to ask his neighbors to help
him NOW the field. Nor was she at all
worried when he said he'd geI his rel
atiyes to aid him. But when ne de-
clared he'd do the work himself she
hastily gathered up her little Drood
and departed for a safer locality. The
pastor in question is understood TO
have called attention to the untidy
and grimy appearance of the church
building in whicr he discourses, on
several occasions suggesting that II
was in sore need of fresh paint. But
his words appear to have fallen on
stony ground. Finally, when he nad
tired of making these appeals, he an
nounced that he meant to paint the
church himself-and now there VIII
be something doing. That his course
is approved is shown by the fact that
he had received several sums OF mon
ey. the loan of all the necessary appa-
ratus. paints and brushes, and even
pair of overalls-the latter the GIT
of an admirer in New York. Besides
this, the town druggist and a number
of the pastors pastors Pensioners
will assist him in the good work. II
is quite possible that the job Will not
be executed in the highest style OF this
branch of mural art, but that the
painter.pastor means to do his decora'
tive best, and that his ladders VIII
be raised in an excellent cause GER
tainly cannot be questioned by those
who hold that cleanliness is next to
goodness.

NEGRO TRIES So ~
CIAL EQUALITY

BLYTHEVILLE, Ark, Aug. 81
A saddle-colored negro, a porter on
Pullman sleeping car running between
st. Louis and Memphis, stopped OF at
this place, and, being imbued with
ideas on the race question, seated
himself at a table in the Walters hotel
for breakfast He has not breakfasted
as yet-that is, not at the Walters
hotel. When last seen he was making
record time for the Frisco train going
south, large flesh wound just over
the left eye, with a small man by the
name of Charley Walters in hot pur-
suit. This is the first attempt at so
cial equality at Bytheville. and will
possibly be the last for some time.

KNOXVILLE SALOON MEN
TO ATTACK CHARTER

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 26:-lt
leaked out tonight that the saloon men
will attack the constitutionality of the
Knoxville charter bill, which becomes
effective Nov /, and which, if not de-
fective, will close the salons on that
date. The holding of the Supreme
Court in the Memphis charter bill Is
the basis for an injunction that will
be asked when the date for putting
the new charter into effect arrives.
In preparing the charter bill, by de-
sign or otherwise, the persons drafting
the bill drew it so that every city
official goes out of Office on that date,
but each is reappointed to fill out the
unexpired term, except Chairman W.
o. White, of the Board of Public
Works. Chairman White was elected
for four years, but under the new char
ter, will go out of office Jan. ~, the
end of the municipal year, with the
other officials
Since the Supreme Court held in the
Memphis case that men cannot be
legislated out of office, the saloon men
plan to plead that technicality in the
Injunction suit to be brought to pre-
vent the saloons being closed.
Temperance leaders believe that the
Knoxville and Memphis cases are not
parallel, and that if an injunction IS
granted it will not stand. The saloon
men. however, are very confident ana
the larger ones seem to be making lit
tie preparation to go out of business

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, August 20
Buving wild land for it's stumpage and

in such quantities that mining claims
were filed and operations begun. BE-
tween 1897 and 1901 there were sold
from this mine 100000 ounces of sill

then for several years; but the Title
was eventually cleared and the mines
have now been in lively operation

adored her. The crush to get to her con-
certs Is described as terrific and even
dangerous. Tickets were sold by auction
frequently for six hundred dollars each.
1t does not seem possible but it is
true. The years result was enormous,
and brought the fortunate artist, after
making fortunes for the managers, at
least three million dollars. She was ac-
companied in her tour by Benedict Bel
letti and Otto Goldschmidt. The latter
she married while on this tour in Boston
In 1852. 1t was love marriage and pro-
ductive of great happiness on both sides.
Her supreme felicity was found after that
In domestic ties. The absorbing affection
of children the enduring love of a gifted
and sympathetic husband drew her away
from the interests of the concert plat
form. Her husband held the position as
leader of the Bach choir in London and
she sang oftentimes for him, but grad
ually her appearances at concerts and
oratorios became rare; but her interest
in music ceased only with life. Her life
was beautiful and true. She adorned the
stage and left it legacy of purity in
conduct and high aims realized.
No star ever shone with whittier or
more dazzling luster in. the armament
of art. Her charities were boundless.
On November 2, 1887, surrounded by all
her loved ones, children and grandchil-
dren, her calm and noble spirit passed to
the great peace beyond these voices"
Her memory remains unsullied by an un-
worthy deed, untainted by the breath
of envy.
