battleship of no less than 900 tons
displacement at cost OF approXi-
mately $4,000, 900. and the making
of the United States the leading nav
al power OF the world are planned by
Secretary of the Navy Meyer.
This vas what Secretary Meyer is
said to have told the members of
the House Naval Committee was his
ultimate plan and what he would ask
Congress to authorize next year.
The members of the committee stat
ed that the Secretary's radical plans
for naval advancement were favor
ably received by the committee
At the session of the committee
even the stenographer was barred,
and the Secretary discussed freely
with the members his plans for the
Navy. He said that it was his pur-
pose that the United States should
not follow in the wake of any ether
nation in naval Advancement. but
that in essential particulars it should
refer in this instance particularly to
naval strength in number of ships
or armament, but to various features
of improvement of the efficiency of
ships and guns.
Big 14-inCh Guns.
The giant battleships which Sec
retary Meyer wants the United States
TO build waits until next year only be-
cause the naval experiments with IA
inch guns have no. been completed
and the department desires to know
the result of full experiments before
planning for the armament of the
giant Dreadnought Tentatively, it
is planned to arm this great battle
ship with battery of fourteen 4
inch guns of the latest type
The Secretary said his plans for
the enlargement of all the dry docks
committee some weeks ago were
made in contemplation of the
great enlargement OF the battleships
and he wanted the docks built to ac-
commodate ships of great size. The
committee has already indorsed The
Secretary's plan for dock enlarge
ment and the Naval Appropriation
Bill is expected to carry the several
million dollars necessary for that pur-
pose.
1t was tentatively agreed by the
committee that the naval increase
this year, based on the Secretary's
recommendations. shall be as fol-
lows:
Two 27.000-ton battleships. equip
ped with either IL or IA inch guns.
One repair ship.
Two golfers.
Five Suhma rires.
Fleet Submarines.
The submarines are for the Pa
cific Coast and are the first of a fast
feet of those vessels which will be
provided within the next few years.
The plan TO place 10 additional sub
marines on the Pacific Coast next
year was fayorably considered The

Death of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy

Mary Baker Eddy, the founder
and head of the Christian Science
Faith since 1886, died at her home
in Boston on the 4th inst of pneu-
monia, which was simply a con-
tributing canse, as she was ninety
years old. She was a woman
greatly r%everenced by her follow
ers and the fact that her cult has
grown to such remarkable pro-
portions shows that it contains at
least some, if not all, of the great
truths.
A DIR. and Mrs. Harmon, of
Boston, claim that the real Mrs.
Eddy died Is months ago and was
buried in the Christian Science
Church in Boston. Of cource
this remains to be proven, At
any event a great and pure woman
has passed to the Great Beyond.

ing the missions at Saratoga, En-
csmpmeut, Hanna and Elk Mount,

OPP Thomas to Wind River, where
be will become superintendent of

Bible women having come out
about two years ago. Mr.. Smith
will also have charge of the work
at Riverton, Hudson and Shoshoni

ing congregation and Sunday
School at Hanna to be cared for

of Saratoga only since last May,
but in this short time he has
shown himself a hard worker, a
sincere. earnest man, who ID cap
able of doing good work in any
field he may enter. Hi work here
has been very hard, ne~cessiating
his absence from home much of
the time aud it will certainly be
%pleasanter for both he and his esti-
mable wife to live in a field where
he can be with his family more.
