DOOM FOR DERELICTS
NEW BRAND OF DESTROYER
BUILDING FOR ATLANTIC.
Revenue Cutter No. II Will Be AS
signed to Sink Those Floating
HuIks Which Are a Men
ace to Navigation.

Washington.-CEciaIs Of the reve-
nue. cutter service are locE.Ig forward
to the COM leuCn Of tie nv de-elict
destroyer, re. enue cutter l., wilh high
expectations Of uer Us efuiless. she
will be the first craft OF her kind 10
become part OF The service, and when
completed, some time next year, the
ability of the Watchdog branch OF
the treasury department to cope with
dangers and emergencies that now
seriously strain the bureau will be
largely increased.
At pres uJ all the work that will fall
t0 the new destroyer must be done. by
the revenue cutters, which are neither
built nor equipped for such service.
When No. II is launched she will in all
probability get a name, for one can
hardly imagine a successful launching
without naming, and neither the Sec
retary of the treasury nor the chief
of the revenue cutter service would
wish to humiliate the new ship by
sending her out among her sister ships
with no more idea of typifying title
than that which is given a convict in
the penitentiary or a brick house in a
row.
AS the new destroyer is to be unique
in many ways, she will also be assign
ed to the other cutters in the service.
She will have a steaming radius of
1000 miles without stopping to coal,
will be prOvisioned for much longer
cruises than she will ever be likely
to- make, and will be equipped with
powerful derricks, the most improved
life-saving apparatus and with a maya
zine in which will be high explosives
in sufficient quantities TO blow half
the battle ships in the world out of
the sea. The gunpOWdeT and dyna-
mite, however, will not be spent to
destroy life, but to save it.
The ships that she will attack are
those that have outlived their useful
ness and have passed from the service
of civilization to the class of human
enemies. The half-sunken deTelicts
that float silently up and down and
across the paths Of commerce, claim
ing as victims the finest ships, with
their crews and passengers. will be the
prey of No. II, and no mercy will be
shown when these mysterious foes
are found. 1t is expected that in life
saving work the new revenue cutter
will prove as valuable as in the more
sensational and noisy pursuit of dere-
licts.
Her field Of operations will be COM
paratively restricted, with Nova SEQ
tia on the north, the Bahamas on the
south and the mid-Atlantic on the
east. Her duty will be to keep the
paths of ocean commerce clear, and
the field is large enough to occupy
all the time of her swift engines The
other side of the ocean will be pa
trolled by the ships of Great Britain
or the powers of the continent.
When storms along the seabOard i'm
peril passenger ships or there is other
work cut out for lifesaYeTs, revenue
cutter II will be summoned by wire
less if she is at sea, and by land wire
if in port, and will hasten to the scene.
That she viii give a good account of
herself in every emergency the reve-
nue. cutter officials feel certain, and
are concerned now only IN eXpediting
the construction of the sadly needed
shin

LORDS BUY 1000 PRAIRIE DOGS.
Britishers, Seeking Sport, to Stock
Hunting Preserves with Them.


Huron, S. D-Two thousand prairie
dogs at three dollars each at shipping
point have been contracted for by
English lords who have eXterminated
the rabbits and hares on their shoot
ing preserves in England and are Ian.
gushing for sport
Mrs. Nellie Madden, of Waukon
Wis. having contracted to supply
this number of the dogs, has with
drawn her farm north Of this city
from the market, believing its value
has enhanced immeasurably by the de-
mand for prairie dogs, with which it is
overrun. 1t is believed the English
noblemen have bucked up against an
other Yankee game, and that the
character of the prairie dogs has been
misrepresented to them.
The animals are the size Of an over
grown rat, live in communities, their
holes connected with outlets every rod
or two. They are spry enough to
arouse the sporting blood of the Brit
ish. but when wounded drop into their
holes or if dead their fellows quickly
drag them in. 1t is mere pOt-hunting
to shoot them, but to entrap 1000 of
them will afford a nice problem for
the venders.

!. AS the present session lasts only eight
weeks longer, Superintendent Walker is
exceedingly anxious that the good record
for attendance on the part of the pupils
be maintained to the very last. To this
end he asks the parents of the children
not to allow them TO shlrk school duties
just because the time is getting short,
but urge them to be even more regular
in the future than they have in the past,
so that the present one may be- as 1t I'M
doubtedly will, the banner year in the
history of the Ensley public schools.

DING A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
AND PLEASURE TO FRIENDS.

Tuscaloosa, March 27.-(Special Mr.
John DuPree and Miss Bertha Pettus took
their friends by surprise last night by pro-
ceeding to the probate office and there
becoming man and wife. There seems to
have been some parental objection to the
marriage, but the young people decided
that they would become the judges of
what course should be pursued. However
the brides mother, upon learning the de-
termination of the couple, joined the party
and accompanied them to the judges Of
flee. The ceremony was performed by
Judge j. C. Brown at about o'clock last
night. Both of the young people are quite
popular and are receiving congratulations
from a plumber of friends. The bride is
q very pretty and attractive young lady,
and has been reared here in Tuscaloosa
The groom is in the employ of the Bell
Telephone company in this city. He IS
from Paducah, Ky, but has been here

section. Cotton and corn are both being
planted, which is a month early for this
section. The woodlands are clothed with

vorably ordinarily, with a month later.
A big rush for commercial fertilizers
is on here and it is impossible to get the
goods fast enough. From all appearances.
this county will plant another bumper

Ensley, March 27.-(Special-The an

Tennessee company will enlarge the rail
mill of their Ensley steel plant, practi-
cally doubling its capacity for making
steel rails, and will also spend about
$l4,O00,0oo in other improvements in and
near Ensley, has caused considerable COM
ment and speculation on the streets of
the city tonight. Real estate. already
high, will probably sustain further adj
vance, and the traffic in Ensley dirt.
which has been remarkably active of late,
will continue with Increased vigor.
A transaction of considerable import
anee, proving the above statement, was
consummated Monday last when the Ems
ley Realty company sold to Pegram &,
Meade and r. L. Meade, a large tract
of land just below Tuxedo junction on
the South Ensley and Tuxedo car lines.
This property has already been sub-1I-
vided, the streets, alleys, lots and blocks
staked off, and will be Immediately placed
on the market at prices ranging from $500
to $3.50.
This property adjoins the Field addition
at Tuxedo junction and no doubt the lots
will be rapidly sold and built up. as
there is a strong demand for this kind
of property.
In fact the demand for houses in Ems
ley has never before been so strong and
persistent w. N. Wood Of the Ensley

Many houses are going up in various
