TRIAL OF CAPT. HAMS.
Man Who Shot Annis Is Said to Be
Almost a Mental Wreck.

After long and tedious delays the
jury in the case of Capt. Peter c.
Hams, Jr, who is on trial in Flush
ing L. L., for he murder of William
e. Annis, whom ne shot at the Bay
side Yacht Club on Long Island, has
been secured and the trial is now pro-
ceeding. 1t will be remembered that
it was brought out in the trial of I.
Jenkins Hams, who was tried on the
charge of completely in the murder of
Annis and acquitted, that Mrs. Hams
was on very intimate terms with An
mis-. At the time Capt. Hams, who
is regular army officer, was with his
command in the Philippines. Letters
from his brother warned him of the
actions OF his wife and he FASTENED
back to the States. In the presence
of Capt Hams and his father and
brother, Mrs. Hams confessed her love
for Annis. Her husband was deeply
affected by these revelations and some
time later, in company with his broth
er, T. Jenkins Hams, he went to the
Bayside Yacht Club, of which Annis
was a member, and shot the latter to
death in the presence of Mrs. Annis.
The trial of T. Jenkins Hams was
held before Judge Grain, but the pres
ent trial is proceeding before Judge
Garrett Garretson. A new district at
torney, De Witt, is also prosecuting the
case. Hams has a strong array of
legal talent defending him. The chief
counsel is Joseph f. Mcintyre, and he
is assisted by Dan O'Reilly and Eu-
gene Young. Hams counsel does not
offer the ''unwritten law" in defense,
but is endeavoring to show that the
accused was insane at the time he
shot Annis. 1t is the purpose of tie
defense to place Capt Hams on the
witness stand in order to give the jury
an opportunity to study his mental
condition.

between her and last Christmas.
But Miss Thorne gave no sign of find
ing it so. With smiling eyes and lips,
and with deeply flushed cheeks, she was
transformed into a brilliant woman, and
even the bagmen gazed in open admira-
ton as she stood, steadying herself with
one hand on the back of her cnair, against
the pitching of the vessel, while with the
other she tried to meet the outstretched
hands.

Young Farmers.

Husbandry has assumed an import
ance never before accorded to II dur
ing the past quarter Of century. The
agricultural lands Of Europe are fully
developed and there is an annual short
age Of production as compared with In
creased consumption as represented In
the growth OF population. England Is
annually drawing larger supplies from
the United States, Australia, Argentina
and India to support her population.
Vast works of irrigation are being con-
structed on the Nile and in India TO
increase agricultural production, for the
maintenance OF tho native population
and for home consumption.
Land cultivation is annual. engross-
ing increased attention. ara agriculture
from a life Of primitive drudgery has
advanced to a dignified profession. The
young farmer who Is a land owner Is
now a man of Importance in national
affairs. He is a producer whose com

limit production TO his individual
necessities for only one year, famine

By human endeavor has the intrinsic
value OF the products OF the soil which

Land cannot fail its owner, and gives
the young farmer dignity and indie

The farmer produces from the soil

STORIES ABOUT SEALS.
How n Young One Was Made n Pet
and Afterwards Ran Away.

How a Young One Was Made a Pet
and Afterwards Ran Away.
Some people think that a seal has no
intelligence. but writer in Our Little
Ones tells the story of seal which
was found by a man who was out fish,
ing. and that later proved to be quite
wise in its way. The seal was young
one, and the man found it fast asleep
upon a dock. and gently lifted it into his
canoe. The poor thing cried to get
back into the water, but its captor
wanted it, and so he carried it home,
fed and petted it until it became quite
tame and would go about the house
like a little dog. Indeed, after few
weeks it grew so fond of its new home
that it would not stay away from the
house more than an hour at time.
When i. was let out of doors it would
go to che rocks beside the sea-for the
family lived near the seaside-and
wcdld slide down into the water and
dive about for a while, catching fish.
Then it would come back and climb
up on the porch and lie there and cry
to be let in. But one day he went out
to get his dinner in the sea and that
was the last ever seen of him. 1t was
believed that he followed the tide far
out into the ocean, and there met some
of his old playmates, who persuaded
him to stay with them.
Another story is told of a seal that
racaDfod on iptruciap and Uhinnnd a
monkey. This was seal that belonged
to q travelling show. After feeding the
monkeys one day the keeper carelessly
left the door of their cage open and in
a minute they were out and swarming
all over the menagerie. After an hours
hard chasing the keepers got the mon
keys together again, all except Jocko,
who would hang by his tail and grin
just out Of the keepers reach.
AT last they succeeded in cornering
him, and in desperation he leaped to
the cage over the seals, at the top OF
which was the opening through which
the seals were fed. Finding his pur-
suers closely upon him, he jumped into
the cage and down upon the seals plat
form The big performing seal resent
ed the intrusion and proceeded to catch
the monkey, now thoroughly frightened,
between the huge flippers, alternately
Shaping and biting him. The teeth of
the thoroughly subdued monkey did not
stop chattering for half an hour after
he had been rescued from his plight.

Half an hour ago it was just a toss-up
whether she took it in that way or broke
down altogether"
That evening the little group toiled
with many jests over their self-imposed
task. Gay bursts OF laughter greeted the
eyer-increasing ghastliness of the dolls,
with faces painted by Mr.. Stewart, wild
mops of tow hair manufactured by Char
lie Hudson, and garments deity sewn to-
gether by Miss Thorne

gathered over sea and sky, the stars look

masts were sprung, plates were loos-
ened, the intricate electrical machinery,
including the fire control, was hopeless
ly out Of working order, and that gen.
orally the trip had made a wreck of
the United States Navy. At the War
Department it was said that on the
contrary the ships had stood the voy-
age even better than had been expect
ed, and that none of them would fail
if called upon to go into battle to-mor
row.
But the Navy Department has decid-
ed on radical change in the type of
battle-ship, and the sixteen that made
the world trip are to be remodeled.
When the change has been made the
modern American fighting vessel will
look like an immense barge with few
turrets on it. All of the cumbersome
superstructure of the present ships is
to be taken off, Instead of the fighting
masts and the upper decks that have
been found of no use and in the way,
there will be only one wire waste
basket" mast for the purpose Of signal
ing and as a roost for the lookout.
1t was found in the shooting tests
at the Florida last year that it is
practically impossible to shoot away
that sort of mast. There are more
holes than strands and even if num-
Der of the wire cable strands are cut by
shot, they are so interviewer that the
stability of the mast is not affected.
The turrets for the big guns, fore and
aft, and the funnel and boilers, or
course, will remain. The removal Of
the superstructure and masts will not
only offer less of target TO the enemy
and make it possible for those aboard
the ships to fight with greater certain
ty, but it will considerably tighten the
ships and bring the armor belt farther
above the water line. Every sixty-five
tons removed from the weight of a bat
tle-ship, as at present constituted,
raises the ship an inch. 1t is expected
that the ships will be raised a foot in
the water. This would change the CEN
ter of gravity and create the danger
that the ship might turn turtle" in
heavy weather were it not that the
weight is TO be taken off the top.
The innovation will not only raise
the armor belt, the present position OF
which has been attacked, but 1t will
raise the secondary batteries of the
vessels to a point where they will be
more effective.
