all times, and about 10000 during
the encampment The regulars will
remain throughout the encampment,
and the militia will take part in three
relays of ten days each.
During the encampment the troops
will be kept busy with dsy and night
maneuvres, solving various problems
of defense and attack, outpost duty,

FLORIDA STANDS TORPEDO TEST.
Monitor Disabled, With Side Pierced
and List, at Fort Monroe.

Fort Monroe, Va.-Pierced with an
American Whitehead torpedo carry
ing charge of guncotton, which tore
large hole in her side, the United
States monitor Florida now rests in
the drydock at the Norfolk Navy
Yard, victim of a naval experiment
to test the vulnerability from torpedo
attack of watertight bulkheads. The
water in the vessels hold gives her a
list of seventeen inches to starboard
The test took place off Pine Beach,
near the Jamestown exposition
grounds, where the monitor was an
chored in fifteen feet of water. The
naval officials, while admitting that
the damage done to the vessel is seri-
GUS, declare that 1t is not vital and
say that the test is satisfactory.
Upon arrival at the navy yard the
monitor Florida was Immediately run
into the big stone drydock and the
water pumped out, in order that a
close examination of the damage done
by the torpedo could be definitely
seen. This examination showed that
clean hole, extending from the SUI
perstructure down the hull, had been
made, and that it was twenty feet in
length. The destructive power of the
torpedo was the marvel of the exam
lining officers. The injury internally
extended in about eight feet at the
centre, but varied from four to six
feet on the margins.

A TEAM OF WORLD BEATERS CHOSEN TO REPRESENT
THE UNITED STATES In THE OLYMPIC GAME
BY the Greatest AS8re8a0n Ever Sent Abroad Will Up-
hold the Stars and Stripes in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
the Big Athletic Trip Will Be 100000

1t was decided that white athletic
dress shall be worn by each competi-
tor, the outer seam of the trousers
to have red, white and blue stripe
and the chest of the shirt or jersey
to be adorned by a national shield
of the United States. Each athlete
shall wear blue cap, with shield
on the peak.
The team is to sail on the Ameri-
can liner Philadelphia, arriving on
the scene of action abort ten days
before the opening of the games. To
finance the trip will mean an expen-
diture of about 100000, and though
all of this has not been collected
the American committee hopes to
have that sum at its disposal when
the team heads for Sandy Hook. 1t
will cost 1925 to send each of the
men to London.
Every man of the select seventy
six is trained to the hour and will be
kept in perfect condition until the
team sails away The fifty-eight sub
stitutes, many of whom just fell short
of the charmed circle, are not to be
sighted in the calculations, and a
glance at the following complete rost-
er makes it certain that the honor of
Old Glory is in safe keeping:

Negro Musical Prodigy Dies in Hobo
ken-Was Born in Slavery.

Hoboken, N. J.-"Blind Tom, - the
negro, who could play on the piano
any piece of music he had heard
once, and who, aside from his musi-
cal ability, was practically an imbe-
Gle, is dead. His death has been re-
ported many times-first, when he
was supposed to have been one of the
thousands swept away in the Johns
town fiood-but the old negro had
been living quietly in New Jersey for
years, and died in Hoboken. He
was named Thomas Greene Bethune,
after his former master.
Just how old he was is unknown.
Stories vary, but he was born prob
ably between 1349 and 1853 on a
plantation near Columbus, Ca,
where his parents lived as the slaves
of General James N. Bethune. He
made his first appearance in New
York in 1861, played in Chicago the
following year, at the Empire Thea
tire, London, in 1867, and in Califor-
MIA in 1873. His last work in public
vas at the Circle Theatre. New York,

believed he was dead by repeating the
feats of his earlier years.
