! NEW YORK, Sept 16.-New Yorl
has found a new center of interest II
the tariff exhibit which was formal!
dedicated by Governor Wilson.
Meetings are held practically every
hour from early morning until 10 o'clocl
at night. and there are thousands Of
people who are inspecting the educa
tional exhibits and paying extra close
attention to the corps of speakers.
The public is shown how much
cheaper household goods would be if
protection were cut off, and the trusts
are shown as the chief beneficiaries OF
the present tariff system.
In the window of the exhibit are in
stalled six fat porkers. all alive. Each
of these pigs is labeled with one Of the
following appellations; Sugar Trust,
Wooden Trust, Match Trust Steel Trust,
Harvester Trust and Thread Trust.
New features are to be introduced
into the exhibition every day.
Idea Is Woman's.
Every Friday will be ladies day. and
next Friday at noon Mrs. j. Borden
Hartman will be the speaker. 1t is
only fair that the Democrats should
give day a week TO women, because
It was a woman who conceived the idea
of the exhibit
The credit is due to the wife of Con-
gresham James L. Slayden. Of San
Antonio Texas. Last spring Mrs
Slayden had occasion to buy a sewing
machine of American make in San An
tonic. Some time later. while travelling
same machine there for 40 per cent
less. Then she discussed the matter
with her husband and learned that the
trusts exported their goods to foreign
countries, where there was COMPETE

ed for them here at home.
why don't you get up an exhibit and
show that said Mrs. Siayden. You'll

one Of the twelve inch guns Of the Utah
is fired. If the whole armament Of the
uper-Dreadnought, including the tor
pedoes, were fired at once, the cost
would amount to something like SIS, 040.
The Utah carries ten twelve-inch
guns, arranged in pairs in tprrets. two
forward and three aft Each one Of
them cost about $65,00O and can be fired
300 times before its usefulness is gone
by reason Of the action Of the powder
and gases.
Ever since the time Of the Spanish
American war, when the American
ships, although they disposed of Spain's
weaker navy In jigtime, did not make
a large percentage Of hits, the navy de-
partment has devoted time and brains
to-. the matter Of improving naval
craftsmanship. 1.-THE shots that hit are
those that count" is a navy axiom that
is impressed on all the officers and
men, and there is keen rivalry among
the vessels for the honor Of flying the
black. balled flag which indicates SUI
premacy in gunnery. Last year the
Michigan flew the bunting proudly, but.
as. has been recorded, she has had to
yield the palm this year. -.

Target practice of Hampton Roads
and elsewhere means lot Of hard work
for officers and men. There are the
direction Of the targets. the maneuver-
ing Of the. ships, the handling Of the
ammunition, the loading and firing OF
the guns, the inspection Of the targets
after fire and many, other details. The
strain on the nerves comes mainly, OF
course, when the big guns commence
their ear splitting booming. When the
order to fire comes the great gun
enits a deafening roar and a sheet OF
flame. It recoils with the shock, but
soon RECEIVERS, and then follow anxious
watching and the desire to hear the re-
port Of the landing of the projectile. Il
it scores a hit, well and good. If not,
there are scowls and frowns. for each
shot counts in the total.
In a recent interview Rear Admiral
Osterhaus, commander in chief Of the
Atlantic batteship feet, said, speaking
of the target practice in Chesapeake
bay $3.50

uniformly high accuracy. There was
little wild firing f4.
AT the great ranges now fired the
natural error Of gunfire prevents high
percentage of hits. For instance, the
theoretical average Of hits Of a gun on
"a stable platform ashore. perfectly aim
ed and with precise calculations Of ele-
walton, windage. etc., is only 10 per cent
at $4,000 yards. The theoretical ratio
Of hits to shots increases as the range
decreases" :. ,..,
OF course it costs much money to put
a fleet of twenty battleships through
series of maneuvers with firing Of the
big guns and little guns. It has been
estimated that spring training, such az
the Atlantic battle fleet completed re-

large sum Of 100000. This is about
3 per cent Of the money which it takes
yearly now to maintain and strengthen

worlds procession of super-Dread-
|noughts, Dreadnoughts, ordinary bat
tleships, armored cruisers, lighter 'cruis-
ers, torpedo boat destroyers. torpedo
boats, submarines, auxiliary vessels,
etc. But naval officers and department
officials say the 100000 is well ex-
pended, for If America is to have a big
navy at all, they argue, money must be
spent to keep it on high plane of ef-
flciency.

But the Utah had one great big adj
vantage in having commanding officer
to whom accurate firing with naval
guns is not at all new. He is Captain
w. S. Benson, who was in command OF
the cruiser Albany when she won the
gunnery trophy for vessels of her class.

were destroyed the first run over the
course. It was a surprise to the mem
bers of the seventeen battleships now
present, all striving to win the trophy
and pennant which the Michigan now
holds, and I am pleased to say that we
are waiting to see the boat come along
side with one well earned treasure"
If that doesn't breathe pride In a
ship, then the American bluejackets are
an unfeeling lot, without care whether
their shells destroy targets or not.

three, it was predicted, would surely
be the leaders of the fleet when the
men in Washington had completed their
comparisons Of the scores and their in
spection of the camera films which re-
corded the hits and misses.
The men Of the Utah are especially
proud OF their ship nowadays, for she is
one Of the very latest acquisitions to
the United States navy.
So tickled was one of the Utah's crew
over his vessels performances that he
couldn't resist the temptation to take
his pen in hand and write about 1t to
his home paper in Philadelphia. And
this is what he wrote:
Having joined the north Atlantic
feet, the Utah. built on the Delaware
river, just surprised the sister ship
Florida when she made the speed Of

tive hours the Utah made an average

bodies fitted by systematic, careful,

vice to bear the burdens of the world.
vassar seeks no distinction based on
the fairness Of face and form Of its
students. Therefore, runs the chain Of
logic, since the daisy chain confers on
Vassar unsought fame as the home Of
pretty girls, the daisy chain must go.
Hence these tears, as some one said in
Latin long ago.
Besides, Vassar thinks the selection
of twenty-four maidens as representa-
tives of the sophomore class in the past
has led, perhaps, to the reflection that
the rest of the class was not equal to
the fortunate few in personal attrac-
tiveness. That is not fair, since every
one knows that all Vassar girls are I'M
commonly beautiful. But they are HUI
man, and it is natural for envy to
rankle in the feminine heart when an
other is preferred solely on the score of
beauty.
To this argument the reply has been
made, why not let the entire sopho-
more class carry the daisy chain?" But
here arises again the objection that
vassar collectively (not individually, Of
course!) seeks no fame based ON the
beauty Of it's students. To let the en-
tire sophomore class carry the chain
would, it is said, emphasize before the
world the assertion that the thousand
Vassar girls have among their number
an unusually large proportion of Hebes
and Dianas. And official and studious
Vassar wants to avoid that reputation.
Last year there came near being no
daisy chain carrying at all. It rained
the day before, and pretty frocks were
ruined by the hundreds. The weather
man threatened to be unlkind on the
great Tuesday. but he fortunately re-
flented in time. and the chain was car
ried in accordance with custom.
According to one report of last years

VAssAR DAISY CHAIN.

For half a century, ever since the
foundation of Vassar, the famous wo-
mems college at Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
the daisy chain has been carried in an
nual procession by g. score of the pref
test members of the sophomore class
as part Of the ceremonies of class day
Tuesday of commencement week. On
the day before class day all the mem
bers of the sophomore class sally forth
into the fields surrounding vassar and
gather the daisies to make up the mon
ster chain.
For each member Of the graduating
class a foot Of the chain is woven, and
