warden has detailed one man to look
after the business. His idea was to
get eggs enough for the hospital and
chickens Tor the patients, but it looks
now as If he would have chickens for
the Christmas dinner for all of the
900 convicts,
When the chicken "trusty" fills the
incubators with eggs he at the same
time sets three or four hens, and as
the chickens are hatched in the incu-
bator he gives them to the hens. In
this way he does not need any
brooders.
One of Warden Codding's hens is
taking care of seventy-five little

ter with an old hen than in a brood

gagged in chicken raising in the state
are watching this plan and numerous

GREAT NEW DOCK IN USE
Bsttleship North Dakota Is Getting
Coat Of Paint in Norfolk

With band playing and members of
the crew cheering the battleship
North Dakota glided into the new dry
dock at the Norfolk navy yard yester-
day afternoon. She was locked in
fifteen minutes and the water in the
big basin was all out in fifty-fve
minutes.
The ship was hardly in place before
members of her crew began washing
her sides preparatory to putting. on a
coat Of paint. Arc lights were set up
on both sides of the ship and last
night her crew daubbed her sides
with gray paint. The hurry on the
North Dakota is due to the fact
that the New Hampshire is waiting
TO be painted and repaired.
The dock, which is of concrete
faced with granite, is not wholly
new, being an enlargement of an
old one. The old dock was $50 feet
long. The new one is 769 feet long
and 1876 feet wide, with So feet of
water over the stills. The work of
charging the old dock was begun on
August 6, 1910, and was completed
September 4, 1911. The cost of the
enlargement was slightly more than
$500, 600.

THE FLORIDA IN COMMISSION
New Battleship VIII be Ready For Mai
den Trip in About Six Weeks

The battleship Florida was put in
commission yesterday afternoon at the
Brooklyn navy yard, New York, and
is moored alongside her sister ship,
the Utah, at the cob dock, with about
half her crew, which will eventually
be $50 men, aboard.
The ceremonies which took place
on the afterdeck of the battleship
were simple and occupied only a few
minutes. Rear Admiral Leutze, the
commandant of the yard, read the
instructions directing him to turn the
ship over to the officers, and Capt.
Harry S. Knapp read his orders to
take possession. The colors were then
run up and the first watch set.
There is considerable work still to
be done on the ship and it will be
nearly six weeks before she is ready
to go on her maiden trip. The Florida
is SCI feet long, 81 feet beam, draws
&c feet of water and has a displace-
ment of $4,000 tons. She has two
Parsons turbines and four shafts and
her officers expect that she will make
% knots.

SINGING AND COMEDY
Jolly John Larkins In ROYAL Sam
Coming Monday

The singing and comedy work of
Jolly John Larkins has always been
a source of unbounded delight to
American theatre-goers since he first
discovered his marvellous voice and
comedy ability. Ii means a lot,
therefore, to say that he has never
done better work than in the new big
musical comedy, "Royal SAM" which
will be presented at the Colonial
Theatre on Monday night, September
is.
Nevertheless, Managers Morrow
and Mindlin are making this seeming
ly extravagant claim for Jolly
John. Another claim of the mana
gers is that Larkins has been sur
rounded by one of the most excel
lent singing companies of principals
and chorus that were ever brought
together in this country, and they
will be seen here just as they APP
pesred during their New York run.
"Jolly" John Larkins has just finish
ed four years contract as co-star
with Black Patti.

Arriving late this morning and with
showers and threatening weather the
Frank A. Robbins big circus, to give
two performances here today, was
greatly hampered in making the best
showing, and gave what is known as
rainy day parade.
The parade is not a sample of the
good performances to come after, as
with such threatening weather it was
impossible to make good showing.

will be given rain or no rain at 2 and

The Gamblers" Soon

The distinct success of Charles
Kiein's gripping drama, 1.-The Gam
blers," which comes to the Colonial
Theatre September %, is the result
of the authors talent for grasping
strong situations out of current
events and giving them to the stage
with naturalness and precision of
edtail.
The story of "The Gamblers" has
to do with the transactions of a num-
Der of high financiers of the modern
school. So skilfully is Mr.. Klein's
play constructed that it established
the record for long runs among SER
ious dramas of last season in New
York.

Miss Polly Ticks Here

The Baltimore Sun today has a
clever cartoon. Above is written
School Has Took In, and beneath is
the inscription: "Miss Polly Ticks,
who has been reinstated, will learn
the children how to figger." One may
read between the lines. Baltimore
schools are back in politics again after
regime to be proud of, and some
other schools are on the ragged edge
not far from home.
