HARRIET FREDERICK, Butler, Mo, Bursting of Guns on Battleship lowa Raises Question of Satety of Other Cannon The accident which occurred the other day on the battleship lowa, when the muzzles of the two eight- inch guns were blown off, is fraught with great menace to the navy, it is said. It may mean that the bulk of the big guns on ships now in commis- sion and which were designed for the use of old-fashioned brown powder, CaRRO be = getic and erratic smokeless powder with certain safety. The muzzle of a 12-inch gun on the Iowa was blown off last March, and its huge fragments, ripping up the forecastle, killed sev- eral seamen. The board which spent months in examination of that gun never ascertained the precise cause, but a popular theory always has been that the gun was too weak to stand the heavy explosion of smokeless powder, Many officers think positive demon- stration that these guns are too weak for smokeless powder will render it imperative to replace with new and stronger guns the eight-inch guns on the Alabama, Kearsarge, Kentucky, Indiana, Oregon, Massachusetts and Olympia, which are similar in con- struction to the guns damaged on we OR.

East Side Square, Senator Cullom has introduced a Bill for the preservation of aboriginal monuments, ruins and other antiqui- ties, to apply to all government re- servations. The secretary of the in- terior is given authority to establish rules and regulations governing ex- cavations and imposing punishment for their violation. Provision is made for a high standard of qualification in those permitted to engage in the work of @xploration. In a statement accom- panying the bill it is said: “To monu- ments and ruins and quite commonly thinor relics of the past there attach stories quite as easily read as though written in type, and modern peoples have awakened to the value of their study as illustrating the customs of the forefathers. The importance of archaeological researches is recognized in every civilized nation.” Administrator’s Notice.

Iowa Asked to Establish a School ef Matrimony. 4 Bill Introduced in the Legislature Providing for a State Director of Marriage Keform Instruction. A school of matrimony, at which young men and wonien desiring to en- ter the wedded state are expected tc take a course of instruction and re- ceive a diploma, is proposed in a bill introduced in the lowa legislature by Representative Dashiel, who is a phy- sician himself. The bill provides for the appoint- ment by the governor of a “state di- rector of marriage reform instruc tion.” The director is to serve for five years and receive a salary of $2,00€ per year, with an assistant at $1,00¢ per year. His duties are to be to “formulate a course of instruction for for matrimony,” and to furnish the same to every reputable physieian in the state. ‘ The candidates for matrimony may take the course and receive the cer- Uficate, which tay be presented te the clerk of the courts, who will issue a marriage license. If the candidate refuses to take a course of instruction he may file a written protest with the clerk and the license may issue, but the protest is to be filed with the state director, The state director is made ex-oMete a member of the state board of health and must deliver free lectures before colleges, schools, on quest.

Symons, master of ceremonies at the white house, has issued an order which practically prohibits women from appearing at evening receptions at the white house tn hats, bonnets or wraps. It was given out by the maids in the women's dressing-room during a re- ception recently, The appearance of women in hats and bonnets at even- ing receptions at the white house has been a matter of frequent comment. Heretofore, however, no on has ever disputed the right of any guest to dress as he or she might please, The an- nouncement recently mace that no one in hat or coat would be permitted to go upstairs, where the levee wesin prog- Tess, created amusement in some and consternation in others. One woman resented the order as an infringement on her personal liberty, and refused to part from her hat. “Very well, madam,” acquiesced the maid, “you may keep on your hat, but you cannot go upstairs, That isthe or- der from Col. Symons.” The woman re- flected. The Marine band was playing the national air, and diplomats in gold lace and women In decollete gowns were mounting the stairs. She meekly re- moved her hat and surrencered both her wraps and her “personal liberty” to the maid. MAN NOT TO REMAIN ALONE. Aged New Jersey Juntice of Peace Of- fers Free Marringes Where Wom- an Makes the Proposal, Declaring his belief that it is not well for man to be alone, Hezekiah Hand, an aged justice of the peace of Plainfield, N.

He will not only marry free of charge, but will also pay for the mar- riage license.

Langerman, the manager of the Moroc- can exhibition at the St. Louis world’s fair. Over 200 natives have been se- cured. They include Razenli, the fa- mous Moorish brigand who captured Harris, the correspondent of the Lon- don Times, and 12 hermaches, to illus- trate the hatchet and shell play; 20 ex- pert Moorish riders, for the power play; 12 Moorish women, for harem dancing girls, snake charmers, musicians, eunuchs, 50 horses and 40 grayhounds. IMPROVES FLECTRIC LIGHTING System of Refraction Makes a Very Satisfactory Substitute for Sun. At the annual picture exhibition at Paris of the Cercle de la Rue Boissy d’Anglas, otherwise known as the “Epa- tant,” a great novelty is shown in the new electric lighting, invented by a son of the great artist, Fortuny. This sys- tem of refracted light is almost as sat- isfactory as sunlight.

Despite the lesson of the Boer war, the Japanese. did very little ope der and extended formation work in their last maneuvers, but operated in solid masses as trim and right angied as though shaped with a spirit level. .When Field Marshal Marquis Yama- gaia was asked if Japan would not change her field tactics to suit tie conditions of modern fighting, he re- plied: “Japan will reveal her tactics in bat- tle. Be sure that they will be those necessary to insure victory.” This was not the self-confidence of the unbeaten warrior, but the expres- sion of the only spirit Japan knows, for she never considers defeat even as a remote possibility, writes a Yoko-! hama correspondent of the London Daily Mail. | From the crews of the huge Mikasa, and her sister battleships down to the; candidates, men on such craft as the White-naped | thereof and Crane and the Dragon’s Lamp—tor-) } pedo destroyers—they are swearing by | every ancestor that they will sink or capture each consonantly named Rus- sian warship in the Pacific.

Record of x Past Run Ma lish Prince and Princess from London to Plymouth, eby an between the run of the Royal Special train on the Great Western railway, of England, and that of the Iwentieth Century Limited, on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, on May 25, a Brit- ish correspondent has taken some pains to get the exact figures for the English train from those who were in it and from official sources, The train was a royal special tak- ing the prince and princess of Wales from Londen to Plymouth. The run of 246 miles was made with no stops, but in passing Bath, Bristol and ixe- ter. There were serious up grades b tween Taunton and Tiverton, between Tetnes and Wranghton for ten miles on end, between Newton, Abbott and Totnes, between other less grades. The line beyond Exeter is a hard se- ries of grade work, The train weighed 150 tons back of the tender, or 219 tons with locomotiv e speed throughout, from . Was 63.1 miles an hour, It will be remembered that for some years the Great Western has been run- ning several trains a day each way be- tween Exeter and London, 194 miles, with no stop, thus holding the worid's long-distance nonstop scheduled rec ord. On this occasion the average speed in passing Exeter from London was 67.4 miles an hour. EARTH MAY PROLONG LIFE. Colorado Clay Which Is Said to F sess Remarkable Medicinal Properties. H. H.
