der the conditions that exist to-day MT. Holland explained:
 "The original Holland boat, design cd and built by me, was intended for harhor defence and to operate against a hostile fleet beleaguering port and anchored outside within a few miles. Such was the blockade of San- tiago harbor by Simpsons fleet in 1898 But we did not then have the high powered guns of the present day. Harbors are now protected by ord nance carrying projectiles to such eff ftctivc distances that the hostile ships must keep twelve or fifteen miles off and also keep constantly in motion. Against these ships a submarine would have no power. Newark Star of April 25

SUBMARINES CONDEMNED.
Remarkable Statement Attributed to
 John P Holland.

John P. Holland, inventor of the Holland boat, declared to Star rep- resentative last night that the submar- inc beats belonging to the government and for which millions were disbursed are absolutely useless, and that any further expenditure for these boats, as contemplated in the naval appro- priation bill, will be a criminal waste of the public money. "Thc appropri- ations, said Mir. Holland, should go to the building of battleshps, which constitute the great unit of naval power
 The inventor was asked if only the American built submarine was useless if the European type excelled
 By no means said Mir Holland the submarines of France England and Germany are of just as little prao. ucal use in naval warfare as ours un.

NO WOMAN TOLD HER.

She was spick and span as she
wheeled her baby up Second avenue.
Immediately clad in white, she drew
all eyes. for a pretty woman with a
pretty baby is admired by all normal
men and envied by all normal women,
especially when fashionably and be-
comingly clad. When you met this
particular lady you could not resist
the temptation to look back, and, sad
to say, a single glance spoiled the
whole effect. Four buttons at the top
of her waist were unfastened and for
six inches the garment lay wide open.
One could easily imagine how morti-
fed she would feel if she could see
that terrible gap and it was a simple
thing to guess how it happened-no
doubt the baby had demanded atten-
ton for a moment and interrupted the
making of her toilet just at this point

TIIOUGuT SHE KNEW.

A good story is told of young wife
in Rock Island. Her husband and an
other man with the instincts of MIN
rod were talking on the subject of
hunting. Finally their conversation
turned to trap shooting, and her hus-
band told his friend that he had hit a
certain number of clay birds out OF
so many trials. The young wife listen
ed attentively, and finally decided to
let her husband know her views on
hunting birds.
John" she said severely, 81 think
it is a very cruel practice to shoot those
innocent little swallows"
81 wouldn't think of shooting a swal
low, dear" replied her husband.
But you spoke of shooting the clay
birds" she retorted; land it is the
swallows that live in the clay"
She was very much relieved wher
the fact that clay birds are really made

his faculties enough to make a get
away, he summoned two or three of
the neighbors, and a joint investiga-
ton was made. To everybody's relief
it was found the intruder was not dead
merely sleeping-and she was rous-
ed up and given a cot inside for the
might. Later the gentleman learned
that this was not the first occasion on
which the same girl had been found
sleeping on porches at night. 1t seems
that she has a step-father of whom she
is in mortal dread. and a number of
times she has been driven out at night.
When this happens she generally hunts

rule she is up and gone before the
owner of the premises is astir.
