Miss Kstheryn Machesney and Leon
Cook who were united in marriage at the

An elaborate Christmas dinner was
served. Covers were laid for fifteen,

their friends for their future happiness go

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Patrick Joyce Of Buffalo, N. Y, will
learn with sincere regret of the affilc:ion
that has fallen on them in their new home
in the illness of their children. Their
young son Maurice is critically i'll of
dropsy of the heart and little hope is en-
tertained OF his recovery. Their daugh-
ter, Miss Mary, has also had several at
tacks of appendicitis and on recovering
from the last one entered the Emergency
hospital with the expectation of having
an operation performed yesterday. Mr..

In the evening OF the 2Sth ult. lady
friends of Mrs. L. Agnew to the number
of so or more gathered at her home to
tender her birthday surprise and fare
we'll party. The hostess was kept in
profound ignorance of what was about to
transpire and not until almost the last
guest had arrived could she unravel the
mystery. A delightful evening was
passed, during which a bountiful lunch
was discussed. Mrs. Agnew was pro-
sented three pretty pieces of cut glass in
remembrance of the occasion, and this
feature of the evening together with the
thought that soon she was to part from
these kind friends to go with her family
to new home, affected her to tears, as
likewise were most of the guests. This
bit of sadness was soon dispeled, how
ever, and the friends departed wishing
their amiable bostess very many happy
returns of the day.

visitors in town during the past two

The remarkable evolution of the
marine torpedo has resulted in rad
ical change of policy on the part of
the naval authorities of this country.
When the range of this type of tor
pedo was limited to one thousand
yards American naval experts deemed
it of comparatively little value, but
now that recent inventions haye in
creased the ,lT ctive range to five
thousand yards the naval authorities
are urging congress to provide the
funds with which to equip all battle
ships with full quota of these for
midable projectiles. These recon-
mendations, however, present a seri-
GUS problem to a congress upon.which
has been urged the great necessity of
economy, for the modern torpedo
costs no less than five thousand dol
lars, The increase in range has been
effected very largely by a simple de-
vice which lights an alcohol lamp
under the compartment in which is
stored the compressed air which fur
nishes the motive power, such igni-
tion being effected at the instant the
torpedo is discharged from the yes
sells side. This tiny lamp so expands
the air ss to afford propelling power
five times greater than that derived
from cold air A recent English in
vention enables ship discharging a
torpedo to maintain complete control,
by means of wireless telegraphy, of
its direction until the moment of i'm.
pact. Practically speaking the Morse
system is employed, series of dots

Was in a Tight Place.

For many years old Col. Lee resided
in Ninth street, New York, near the
Hotel st. Denis. He Is still remem
bered by hundreds of New Workers for
his bright manner and happy, apt re.
marks. When the project for erecting
an equestrian statue to Gen. Washing
ton in Union square was proposed
Col. Lee was intrusted with one of the
subscription papers for circulation.
Shortly after receiving 1t he ap-
preached well-known citizen and
asked for subscription But the citi-
zen declined to subscribe, stating in a
rather pompous manner:
II do not consider, sir, that there is
any necessity for monument to Mr..
Washington. His fame is undying,
sir; he is enshrined in the hearts of
his countrymen."

A constitutional convention as a
political issue is becoming SO popular
that both political parties will go on
record in favor of it. When the state
conventions are held next year reso.
lutions will be adopted by both par
ties endorsing the proposition. Re-
publicans, however, are to be given
credit for pushing the constitutional
convention bill through the general
assembly. 1t is true that it was in
troduced by Senator Mooney, a Demo
crat, but all Republican leaders got
back of it and insured its passage.
Every citizen who has the interests
of the state at heart should be in ia
vor of the proposition to call con-
stitutional convention and the sub
ject is referred to repeatedly in these
columns with the idea of educating
the voters to giving 1t favorable con-
slderation.

We believe every American will
learn with qualification of the thor.
ough preparation being made by the
military authorities in Washington
for the adequate protection Of the
Panama Canal. The decision of the
war department to install IA inch
guns in the Notifications at either
end of the canal will especially com,
mend itself to popular approval. The
investigation of naval authorities, not
only in this country but in Europe as
we'll, have satisfied them that it is
impractical for battleships to carry a
larger type of weapon than the II
inch rifles now being installed on the
latest American battleships. The
tremendous weight, not only of the
gun itself, but of the tprrets, projec-
tiles and ammunition hoists, required
for IA inch guns, presents an insuper-
able obstacle to their use on board
ships, whereas the additional weight
is not deterrent factor on land. OF
course the l4,inch gun has materi-
ally increased range over the IL inch
gun, while the two inches additional
calibre makes possible the employ
ment of far more formidable projec.
tile and an enemy's ships batteries
provided with ii inch rifles on disap-
pearing carriages could make little
impression. In addition to these
powerful guns, however, the war de-
partment proposes to install a thor
ough system of submarine mines land
anumber OF submarine torpedo boats
will be commissioned and placed un-
der the supervision of the coast de-
Tense officer commanding the canal
defenses.

General business conditions con-

joining heartily in the happier condi-

velopments are less encouraging
