Fort Monroe, June 13.-Today in
Hampton roads the monitor Florida,
fortified with water tight bulk-heads,
specially constructed and designed to
represent actual war conditions, was

to determine whether this form of
bulk-head, with which all American

can successfully withstand the force
of the explosive contained in a tor

the effect OF the charge will be to

1t is well and truly said by Lesle's
Weekly that the best protection for
any city is found not in the number
Of its policemen, but in the number
of lights on its streets. Another
fact, just as true, though not so well
known, is that the greatest protection
to society is found not in the statute
books but in the newspapers. No
one knows the number of men who
have refrained from committing
crimes against society through fear
of exposure in the public press.

Humane work That Is Practical.

Other tender hearted women have at
tempted to tighten the burden of
draught horses with varying degrees of
success, but 1t has remained for Mrs.
Theodore Thomas, wife Of the great
orchestra leader, to hit on a practical
remedy for the evil. She is taking
steps to submit to the city council of
Chicago a mammoth petition for an or
dinance regulating the tonnage a horse
may be required to draw. 1t is her
hope that the full legal penalty may be
attached to the measure, and that 1t
will be enforced. She realizes that,
while good many owners Of horses
might be Influenced by arguments
based on sentiment, there are hundreds
who can be reached only through their
pockets. If she can make 1t expensive
for an owner to overload a wagon, sne
thinks she will be able to save the
four-footed animals many weary
task.
Mrs. Thomas does not content herself
with having her petition signed by
leading citizens. She goes every day
among the teamsters themselves and,
by simple reasoning, induces them to
add their names to the plea. Her ar
gument is that it is to the Transfers
interest to see that his horse is not
overtasked, because he then will be
able to do his own work much more
quickly and so, in time, command high
er wages. Many hundreds of teamsters
have given their signatures to the
earnest woman, and she expects to
have the names of fair proportion of
the owners on the sheet before she
takes 1t to the council.
