Constructive Plan offered.
One shipbuilder makes this sugges-
ton: atsa
strip the machinery from the
wooden ships, then organize cor
poration, or several corporations to
build steel hulls or l,arges on q COM
paratively inexpensive plan and in
stall the engines In them. These
barges would be invaluable for coast
wise trade or even for trade with Cuba
and could be operated at cost much
less than the present steamships.
"Of course it will take money to put
such a plan in operation, but 1t does
not require large financial outlay.
The steel hulls can be built in any
one Of a half dozen shipyards on
Hampton Roads and with the pros
'peetive reduction in the cost of labor.
and the decrease in the cost of ma
terial, competition would be keen for
the building Of these craft" Aa3
There Is little chance of any of the
wooden ships ever being of any ma,
terial service again, because only
few of them would be worth the ex-
pense Of repairing Of sea trade. A.
good many of the ships are already
beginning to show decay and 1t would
not be surprising If, several Of them
were abandoned altogether within q;
year or so. It Is the opinion OF
marine men that when the govern;
,nent begins to discard the wooden
ships completely they will be blown
up with dynamite. as If they were a
menace to navigation.
The people Of Ciaremont are divided
on the benefit the town has derived
by the location Of the fleet near that
town. The anchorage occupied by the
ships is referred TO as the sboneyard."

Every man, woman and child who knows anything about shows, and who ever saw the Rhoda Royal Enormous RR. Shows, will be de- lighted to know that the big shows, in all their magnificence and exalt- ed grandeur, will surely exhibit at Paragould on November 3, and pre- cede both exhibitions with the grandest morning street parade ever seen since parades were first ex- plotted. In the great shows will be seen several new features which cannot be seen elsewhere. Those who have seen the monster bovalapus pronounce it the greatest, the strang- est and most unique marvel to which the deep ocean ever gave birth. The shaggy, fierce though beautiful, horse-riding lion, '"Wal- lace,' is part excellence the pre- mier quadrupedal performer.
 The baby lions, four of kind, infants of the forest, are strange and lovely sight. The Roman hip podrome an exact reproduction of the Course of Ancient Rome, and the modern races attached to it, are at once exciting exhilarating, and in all things equal to the best races run on modern race course. The shows, which consist of one hundred and fifty superior acts, given by one hundred superior arenic, stars, requires three full hours in which to give them.
 The menagerie will be delight full study for all,, because it com prises more wild, tame and strange beasts than our people have ever before had an opportunity to see The show is great in everything and small in nothing.
