The New 'Dreadnaught. "
MaEning Post.

MqEning Post. H.
At present the Dreadnaught class
has ten l2-inch guns, two Of which
are situated on the port and star
board side respectively, about mid
ships, and can only be fired on the
broadside on which they are mount
ed. That is to say, vessels have
an effective broadside Of eight out
of their. ten. guns. That is a fault
which is to be- remedied. In design
ing a new Dreadnaught the naval
experts had to consider many i'm
portant points. The personnel Of the
present Dreadnaught is comparative
ly low. That is, i'm proportion to her
power, both as regards striking and
speed In designing a more powerful
ship the adding of two more guns
means larger personnel without the
full gain Of striking power. Take, For
instance, the Brazilian Dreadnaughtts
with their II 12-ineh guns. Only 10
can be fired on each broadside. Fur
ther, there is the economy in space,
stores and crew to be considered.
Consequently the developments have
taken another line, nancy, the I'M
proving of position of the gun so
that all shall be effective and capable
of a vide arc Of training, and lastly,
and most important, the increasing
of power and size Of the gun.
A short time ago there were tests
with the l2-inch gun, and certain
faults were discovered. Even con-
sidering the great improvements with
the 12-inch gun and Of its mountings,
the greater rapidity of firing. and,
the increased range, it has its linn

make the designer seek greater pow

gun has been decided upon: With

THAT STUMBLING STREET.
Ladies Fall on It.-In Their Behalf
Mr. Smith Urges Attention Of
City Council.

Nh. Editor: Sometime ago you
did for me the kindnes Of publishing
a few lines calling the attention OF
the town authorities to the fact that
they had bad place in the form Of a
step, on the corner Of Nance and
Main streets, that needed their at
tention. It may be imposing on good
nature, but as | am not aware Of the
fact that there have been any steps
taken in regard to this matter, [ again
ask you to do me favor Of publish
ing these few lines. ..
Now, as the city campaign is ap-
preaching it. may be that everybody
is busy eleetioneering and cannot give
their undivided attention to this mat
Ter or it may to them seem a very
small matter, but should Some one
get their limbs broken on account Of
this place, it would then be.,a serious
matter. --. a., g. ......-...
/ have been informed, since my
former piece was published That an
other lady fell and to my own knowl-
edge several have stumbled and came
very near falling at this place.
Some one may ask why I take so
much interest in this matter. 1t is
not for myself that I am interested,
but for one who, when 1t comes to the
ballot box, has not the right even of
a black negro man, to vote-Woman.
Now, there is another matter on
|HIheir behalf that I. call attention to,
that is on every Saturday and big
days, lady cannot 60 one block down
the sidewalk on Main street without
being showed by some big buck negro
and here I ask The Idler to join
hands and help the ladies. -
They (the negroes) congregate in
crowds on the sidewalk and it is al
most impossible for the policemen to
keep them from blockading the side
walk, for as fast as they push them
back and are out Of sight they are
back again, "Johnnie on the spot. "
We have some Ladies that are as
nice as ever breathed the breath Of
air, the mill operatives, who have
five long days to labor and the sixth
is the only one they have to come
down the street to shop, it is for
their sake that I urge this matter
looked into. ~" ...-... f..
: I think that there is an ordinance
against congregating on the sidewalk
but am not sure; if there is not there
should be and about q dozen taken up
and fined, then perhaps it would not
be so much trouble for the ladies to
60 down Main street on Saturday.

You saw that other case where a
miller was sentenced to four months

since then she speaks in a most Gu
rious manner and snufles as if she

appealed against the verdict of four
months at hard labor his wife took
the stand in his behalf and is re-
ported as testifying as follows:
my husband only did his duty by
firing the revolver at me. [ had aban-
doned him without any reason. He
was therefore, quite within his rights
and his conduct under the cncum-
stances was quite natural. And l
may add that I asked the court to
appoint barrister. to defend my
husband, but none has been appoint

me that you do not want barrister.
You are defending your husband very

quilted. -
"But he wounded you badly" !"

Besides, shot into woman's nose

The sentence Of Terrier, that is his

after all a shot through Woman's
