are the dancing frocks showing some
slight color relief in the form of del
icately colored lace or tinseled me-

hand embroideries. These are en-
ployed to outline the corsage. as

having q drink Belcher arranged
with the night bartender. William
Ridge. tor the storage OF the trunk.
He says that after the performance
Belcher called him to the rear Of the
theater and together they carried It
to the cellar. where It was secreted.
Hollenstein is corroborated In his
story by Mr.. Ridge. who says Belcn-
er came to him and asked for per-
mission to store a trunk. He says
he suggested that the trunk De
placed in a side room on the ground
floor, but Belcher stated he might
want to leave 1t there for several
days and would like TO place 1t In
the cellar. He consented to this,
but after he read in the papers OF
the trunk being stolen he told
,palcher that 1t would have to be
taken away. as he did not want Mr..
Trader or Mr.. Todd to know that It
had been stored there. He alleges
that Belcher then wanted to place
the trunk in the front room of the
saloon and to have he fRideel give
out the word that 1T had been lett
there for return to the owners. Mr..
Ridge states he declined TO enter
into any such an arrangement, but
insisted that the trunk be removed
from the basement. He states that
at the time he gave his permission
to accept the trunk for storage he
had no thought OF 1t having been
stolen, but his suspicious were arous-
ed as soon as he learned that a
trunk had been stolen from the the
alter building.
Belcher was this afternoon sum-
moned before a meeting at the thea
ter box office and confronted with
the statements made by both Walter
Holenstin and william Ridge, but
persistently denied any connection
with the theft. He claims to have
no knowledge OF the theft or az te
where the trunk had been stored.
It Is further stated a Mr. Phelps
who is employed on the stage, had
| full knowledge OF the transaction
and has told Mr.. Holenstein the de-

1T Is almost beyond beli.f that
a man Of Mr.. Reuterdahl's intallf-
gence and who knows the United
states navy as he undoubtedly does.
would deliberately declare the battle
snip fleet Of the United States IL in
exactly the same condition ns the

Il asert. on the contrary, tina: The

er was. never will be, meyer can oe,
IN the condition OF that Ru sim
Meet when 1t went into action for the
last time.
III the Russian admiral did not
wish his armor belts beneath he
water why did he load his ships 90
heavily with coal when he had less
I; than 1000 miles to steam. And fur
thre, what reasonable ground is
| there for assuming that an Ani.ri-
can admiral would not SO regulate
the weight on his ships as to BRING
his water line armor just WIN re he
wanted it to be?
That our battleships have their
ha1t
about about water line which may
never be their water line when en-
gagged in battle may or may not be
true: 1t would depend on where the
battle was to be fought, how far
from a coaling station, etc. But,
the armor once on, the fact that the
ship Is then sunk lower in the wa
ter does not render the protection
afforded by the armor less: on the
contrary it Is, in my judgment.
greater, because I am sure, after
many weeks of close observation
that the lower edge of the armor
belt is too high, rather than too low.
As the upper edge of this belt is
always even with or above the level
OF the protective deck. the danger
to be apprehended from a projectile
penetrating above the belt. beyond
the wrecking effect OF such projec-
tile, is that due to the amount OF wa
ter that may enter through the hole
It Is the damage that may be done
by such projectiles entering below
the belt that may cause the destruc-
ton of the ship. One projectile SO
placed may cause the ship to sink
by exploding magazines or boilers,
even. but this Is improbable. The
damage done. however. by projec-
tile 80 entering. Is certain to do
many, times greater injury than one
entering above the belt, and one
must be sure to have the lower edge
Of that belt low enough to prevent
any projectile from 30 entering"
There are three leading features
in battleship construction which ADJ
miral Evans concludes deserve most
careful consideration and coordina-
ton: First, the battery; second,
the armor protection; third, the mo-
tive power.
II do not for a moment claim the
Indiana and her sister ships are
equal to the Dreadnaught Of the

she Is the equal Of the English ship

vastly superior to the Dreadnaught,

ligent consideration will agree with

Marry and Part For q Year.

Among the. many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people Of Central
America Is that Of parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There Is no courtship allowed to
be carried on between the parties prior
to the wedding. When a man selects
woman he obtains the consent OF the
parents on both sides, and II this 10
given they are az once married. The
reason. however. for their not living
together as man aud wife for one year
after marriage Is IN order to permit OF
the parties visiting and staying with
their respective friends In different
parts OF the country, which is a Gus
tOmary thing and occupies the time
specified. Ninety-nine out Of hundred
Of these marriages turn out well.
