Delaware's trip will naturally be compared

orable roundtEe-word cruise when Rear Ad-
miral Bob" Evans led fleet Of 16 battleships
around the lower half of our continent. In that
event conspicuously was there exemplified the
adage that in union there is strength, and
aside from the selfconfdence inspired by the
coordinate action of whole fleet of battle
ships there was the further insurance against
the unexpected offered by the presence with
the fleet of repair ship, supply ships and

must traverse the same sea track fguratively

the seafaring men say.
However, without Understanding the pres

it must be admitted that the greatest signif-
canoe Of all attaches to this 1911 cruise be-
cause of the mission of the Delaware. The

to the memory of an international statesman
and in compliment to friendly nation. She is
to convey from our shores to his native land
the body of Senior Don AnibaI Cruz. the late
minister of the republic of Chile to the United
States.
When a foreign diplomat dies at his post of
duty in an alien capital it is customary for
the officials of the government to which he
had been accredited envoy and for his fell
low diplomats to accord him every possible
honor in death. Elaborate ceremonias are
prescribed, not merely a tribute to the
statesman whose work in behalf of interna-
tional good feeling has thus been interrupted
by death, but also as a compliment to the
country and the government whose accredited
agent he was, All the unwritten laws were
carefully observed in the case of the late Chi

There are three distinct classes in Neapoli-
tan society-it would be better to call them
castes-the nobility and aristocracy, the gal
antuomini" or middle classes and the laz-
zaroni" or the Submerged multitude.
The first class 1t is unnecessary to de-
scribe the other classes live side by side'
and are vet distinct and hostile. They differ
in religious and political convictions, in NOR
ais, in social customs, in food and clothing.
The galantuomini include the shopkeepers,
the small manufacturers tradesmen, DOCK
keepers, persons engaged in clerical occupa-
lions, and practically all who are compelled
to earn their living, it who are not engaged
in manua. labor.
They are generally liberal and often radical
in politics. The men express an open IN
difference and often contempt for the church,
but require their wives and daughters to OBJ
serve all the conventional religious duties,
and they themselves never fail to reach for
crucifx or call for priest whenever they
imagine their own lives to be in danger
They are fond of dress and display and in
dulge their taste as far as their means Will
permit, but their wives and daughters are
kept In seclusion and are never allowed TO
leave the house without duennas to protect
them
The lazzaropi regard with contempt as
we'll as aversion the families of the galan-
tuomini, who Nre not wealthy and have to
struggle to keep up appearances The laz-
zaroni are strongly attached to the nobility,
have often Eiven practical evidences OF loyal
ty and on several occasions have been or SUI
preme service to the crown.

heavier than any other vessel now in commits
sion in our navy except her sister ship, the
North Dakota She is also the speed1est OF all
our battleships built or building being capable

dictinctly "going some" for so ponderous { craft

The Delaware is the heaviest armed of all

be bad idea either, for the Latin Americans
are very jealous Of receiving their due meea OF
respect and recognition from their big brother
of the north This focusing of the attention
of people on the east coast of South America
will come about through the circumstance that
the Delaware, being unattended by coal or sup
ply ships, will find it necessary en- route to and
from Chile to put in at ports in Brazil, Argen-
tina and other places for fuel, supplies, etc.
Of course the natives at each port cannot fail
to be impressed by the vessel and the 1mpor-
lance which Uncle Sam attaches to her mis-
sion.

honorary na11hearers R,1t there was one other
courtesy which international euquette pre-
scribes shall be offered under such sad circum-
stances In accordance with the usage Oh
friendly nations the president or the united
States cabled to the president of Chile offer
ing the use Of a United States warship to con-
vey on his last journey home the body OF the
deceased diplomatist. The offer was accepted
and the Delaware has been assigned TO act as
a funeral barge this voyage OF thousands or
miles to Valparaiso and return. In accordance,
however with the wishes of the Cruz family
the battleship did not start on her Journey I'M
mediately after the funeral, but the trip was
deferred until this month, the fiag-draped cas-
ket reposing in the meantime in receiving
vault in cemetery at Washington.
The United States government has been
called upon twice before, within a comparative
ly few years, to convey home the bodies of emf
nent Pan-American statesmen who have died
in this country. Some years ago the body OF
an ambassador of Mexico was thus conveyed
home in state and only year ago similar hon.
ors were paid to the remains OF the late Senior
Nabuco, who was for years the ambassador of
Brazil at our seat of government. On neither
OCCASION however, was there employed for the
service so imposing vessel as the Delaware.
That the officials and the public of Chile
will appreciate the significance of Uncle Sans
sending his largest and finest warship is the
expectation of the American authorities and
there is plain intent to thus create an espe
cially favorable mpression-possibly the more
so because Chile is one of hose South Ameri7
can countries with which the United States
has at times in the past been on the verge of
ill feeling and it is the desire of our statesmen
to allay any lingering suspicious and cement
friendship in this quarter. The Delaware was
not, of course, member of the round-thewor ID
squadron that visited Chilean ports several
years ago that not only will she be nov
city to eyes beyond the Andes but she will at
ford the people of Chile their first opportunity
to inspect an example of the worlds latest
ideas in heavy battleship building.

An amusing incident occurred few
days ago outside Maranz, Austria.
A COW strayed from the pasturage and
came within reach Of the fort. The
officer in command suspected the pres
ence of an automatic Photographic ap-
Daratus, and had the beast seized and
closely examined and when he found
nothing to justify his suspicious he
turned the animal loose again, under

COUNTRY WIDE MOVEMENT
Foes of tuberculosis Have Plan to
Use Most Powerful Weapon
on Earth.

April 80 has been set aside this year
as Tuberculosis Day." and will be OBJ
served in 100000 churches in the
country in manner similar to that
of tuberculosis Sunday in 1910,
when 10000 sermons were preached
on the prevention of tuberculosis. In
the first official announcement of the
occasion, made by the national asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, the leaders of the
movement state that they hope to en-
list all of the 100000 church mem
bers in country.
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday of
1910. Instead of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
national association 10 going to ask
this year that meetings, at which the
subject Of tuberculosis and its pre-
VentiCn can be discussed, be held on
Sunday, April 80, or on any other day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week following.
What we want" says Mr.. Living
ston Farrand, executive secretary of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, in a
report on this movement, lis to have
this whole subject of tuberculosis dis
cussed in all of the 100000 churches
of the United States at as nearly the
same time as possible"

for this cruise was not even contem-
plated a few weeks ago-calls for
VOYAGE around the continent of South
America, or, at least around the MAJOR
portion of that triangular continent
and It bids fair to be the most notable
undertaking assigned to any single
battleship since the famous old battle
ship Oregon made the long trip around
South America lover much this same
route) at the time OF the Spanish
American war.
The cruise Of the Delaware takes
on importance from the fact that 1T Is
the first stunt of the kind attempted
by one of our new battleships of the
Dreadnought class-foating fortresses
so much larger and heavier and more
formidably armed than any of our old
time battleships that they might be re-
ferred to as the "big brothers" of
these ships that were SO awe inspir-
ing a few years ago. Now, of course,
these new "all-big-gun" ships are as
yet something of an experiment in our
navy in SO far as actual service goes
and consequently naval officials and
shipbuilding experts will await with
no little concern the outcome Of this
prolonged shaking down" cruise.
Another circumstance that makes
this coming cruise stand out as a not
able achievement is that the Delaware

unattended. AS all readers Of the
newspapers must have noted, 1t has
not been the practise of our naval au-
thorities of late years to assign single
battleships to long cruises. They usu-
ally go in fleets, or in divisions of
four ships, or at least in pairs. Why,
1t will be remembered that when Pres
ident Taft made his recent trip to Pa
mama second warship was sent along
with the one that carried the presiden-
tial party, not because there was any
real need for it, but simply to have a
companion ship at hand to render as
sistance in the event that the first
craft met with a mishap of any kind,
great or small.

greatest surprise as well as the great
est disappointment of the Texas
league this year is the showing made
by Dallas and Houston This els par
ticularly true in regard to the fans
of those two cities, who have always
been used to having a winning team.
The result has been that the gate re-
ceipts al Houston or Dallas are not as
good as they are at Waco or Austin this
year and instead of making big money
this year the two teams are not much
more than making ends meet This is
also having its effect on the receipts
of the other teams. for often they re-
ceived more for their end of the gate
receipts at Dallas or Houston than
they did on their home grounds
The fact that Dallas and Houston
have poor teams is not due to lack Of
effort. Both are spending money freely,
scouting over the country high and
low. but seem unable to get good ma
