A Real War Test.

The biggest naval gun the heaviest
projectile and the highest explosive
known, combined with close range and
deadly aim, were allowed to work their
full havoc on the turret plate of the
monitor Florida. The result is declar-
ed to be a victory for turret constrnc-
ton, this notwithstanding the 11-inch
hardened steel plate was blackened,
broken, the seams of the turret sprung
and the rivets and screws loosened
and twisted.
II was not five minutes after the
terrible impact that the finely bal
aaced mechanism of the turret was
being worked with perfect ease, and
tho Pinch gun on the left side was
trained at will.
Inside the turret, where stand the
gunners and the gun crew. the havoc
was much less apparent than from
the outside. Examination showed that
of the many delicately adjusted in
struments for the control. sighting and
operating of the turret, few, if any
were out of working order.
"If this had happened in battle the
Florida would have been fighting yet,
said one Of the rear admirals with en-
thusiasm.
Then followed a futile attempt tc
destroy the newly designed fighting
mast erected on the stern of the Flor
ida. After five shots from the Arkan
sas had gone ripping through it, the
mast still stood firm. It was predicted
that all new ships will be equipped
with battle masts of this design.
The story of the Shooting up" Of
the Florida by the Arkansas, however
is not contained in this technical
statement of results. Every naval bu
reau was represented likewise the
ordnance and artillery of the army.
The scene of the real war demon
stration was Hampton roads, already
made famous by naval events.

Delaware river near Riverton, their
b little craft was caught in the swift
current and carried against scow

overturned and all the occupants were
thrown into the water. Eidleman was
seen swimming in the swift current
with his son, but spectators did not
realize there was an accident until

town, Pa.
The twenty-ffth quadrennial session
Of the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, which has
been in progress in Baltimore, Md,
since Wednesday, May s, adjourned
finally Monday night.
Legislation of great importance to
the church was enacted, and more was
accomplished than on any day OF the
meeting. One Of the most important
matters acted upon was the changing
of the time-honored term of presiding
elder to district superintendent
After a prolonged debate the confer
ence decided to take e time limit off
the probationary membership in the
churches and to make it possible for
the stewards and class leaders to or
der the admission of an applicant for
full membership on the approval OF
the pastor.
BY an almost unanimous vote the
body turned down proposition from
the general assembly of the Presby-
terrain church, now meeting in Kan
sas City, to set aside day of the year
to be known as mothers day.
An important matter not disposed
of was paragraph 24S of the discipline
concerning amusements. The board
'of bishops recommended its modifica-
ton, but the committee on the state
of the church opposed the change. 1t
was presented by the committee, but
sidetracked.
Other reports were rushed. through
the conference with the greatest dis
patch. The Sitting committee, :
which began work on Saturday, pre-
scented the most important reports and
business for consideration. Proposed
amendments were laid on the table in
most cases with the greatest haste
Questions which few days ago would
have required an entire session for dis
cussion were unanimously adopted at
ter being hurriedly read.

Corner In Corn Nets Patten s2,ooo,o oo


The corners on wheat and corn
were closed in Chicago on Friday,
and j. Ogden Armour and Jim Patten,
the corn king, are now face to face
with the problem of "burying the
corpse" They now have to get their
wheat and corn to market. Patten is
estimated to have cleared s2,000,000
on his corn deal This estimate is
based on a supposed profit of between
twenty and twenty-five cents on the
100000 or 100000 bushels he has
handled in the deal. No estimate is
placed on Armour's profits in wheat
AS matter Of fact, while Armour and
Patten were squeezing the shorts they
were also squeezing each Other
