SIX NEW QUNBOATS Plans Made for Important Additions to the Navy. | : Light Draft Composite Vessels to Cost About a Qu=rter of a Million Each —Their Arms and Armor. Provision was made by the last Congress for the construction of six light-draft, composite gunboats, the limit of cost of. each being $230,000, exclusive of arma- ment. 43.ds have been invited under two heads; those based upon the plans of the Navy Department,and those based upon the plans of the contractors. The framing will be of steel from the Keel up to and above the water line; the upper edge of the wood plank will lap the top side plating about three feet. Plank of Georgia pine will be worked on the frames, secured thereto by composition bolts in such manner as to prevent gal- vanic action. The outside surface of the plank will be coppered. No plating will be worked on the under water body of the vessel, except the*keel plates. The entire top sides will be plated as on steel vessels. ‘Throughout the machinery space, an in- ner bottom of plating will be worked; giv- The Single Screw Design. ing added strength to this part of the ves- sel, enabling the bilges to be kept clean, and affording additional means of safety should the outer bottom be ruptured. The six vessels will be of two radically differing types; one type carrying full sail power and propelled by a single screw, the other type having steadying sails only, and propelled by twin screws, actuated by two Separate engines. The vessels will be of 1,000 tons displacement,and 12 feet draught. The twin screw type will be 174 feet long and 34 feet broad, being six feet jonger and two feet less beam than the single screw type. The armaments, being identical In both types, will consist of six 4inch, four 6- pounder, and two I-pounder guns, all rapid re. The single screw boat will be lighted by electricity, and provided with a steam. steerer and steam windlass; weight are allowed for these features in the twin screw boats, but their installation will depend entirely upon their possibility within the price limit of $230,000. When going under sail alone, the en- gines of the single screw boat will be un- coupled, silowing the shafting and screw to revolve simply by the action of the The Twin Screw Gunboat. passing water; and so slight is the retard- ing influence of the screw thus disengaged, that there is every reason to expect a sail- Ing speed fully equa! to the possibilities of the steam power conditions, . The engines in each type are designed to develop the same horse power and to in- duce the same speed, that of 12 knots, dif- fering only as regards ‘shafting, number of screws and the incidental division of mo- tive force. The essential reasons for the construction of vessels of the composite type are that they are largely independent of docking facilities and economical in the use of fuel. The exfoliation of the copper causes the barnacles, grass, ete. to be released just as soon as the vessel is put in mo- tion, and the bottom is made compara- tively clean, thus permitting the vessel to maintain her designed speed With a mini- mum consumption of coal. The character of the services for which these gunboats are particularly designed requires that they be exposed to musketry fire, and the housing of the major part of the battery by an unbroken deck, besides adding materially to the stiffness and strength of the vessels, gives admirable protection to the guns’ crews in action. The necessarily exposed position of the bow and the stern guns is justified only by their are of fire and possible useful- ness in a running action; while for river service, for which these boats are par- ticularly fitted, the disposition of the gun deck battery is, all that could be desired. ———+e+—__ BLOOMERS OR SKIRTS? Some Pretty Frank Talk at a Wis- consin Summer Resort. Frm the Chicago Inter-Orean, A correspondent writing from Delavan, Wis., notes the arrival of the ‘‘cycliste” there in great numbers. She is of all ages and sizes and of three distinct types, namely, the one who wears bloomers, the one who wears “knicks” and the one who is nattily skirted to her shoe-tops. One charming young woman, who has one of the prettiest homes at the lake, said she wore a skirt because in her north side set nothing else would be tolerated. Another delightful girl said she wore a skirt because the man she was engaged to wouldn't de with her In bloomers. The dearest girl of all was still more ex- plicit: “I wear a skirt because nothing else seems quite so ladylike. To say the bloomer is the only safe cycling costume Is exag- ferating, I think, I have been riding two years in a skirt, and haven’t had an accl- dent yet. And, anyway, I'd rather take a header every time I go out than have the men comment on my appearance the way my brothers do on the girls in bloomers.” She wore the jauntiest, smartest cycling costume imaginable. Tan skirt, nearly dust color, leathery trimmed, to the shoe- tops; tan shirt waist, tan shoes, tan leg- gings, tan wash-leather gloves, coquettish saflor hat, with tan leather band, and a slik-lined tan coat strapped to the handle- bar. The skirt was moderately full in front, and fell in graceful lines when she was ridings . “Isn't this skirt all right?” she asked. “The road to Delavan Is sometimes dusty, and if I wore bloomers I'd be a sight.” A bloomer girl came into the hotel dining room, looking big and blowsy. Out on the lawn, with her wheel by her side, she would not have looked so fantastic, but in the dining hall, surrounded by women, she was a spectacle. A clubman was asked: “Doesn’t that require an extreme amount of nerve?” : “Not so much of,the woman, I fancy, as of the man with her,” he replied. “Would you ride with her?” he was asked. “Ride with her!” he said. “If she were my wife I'd get a divorce.”” Lloomers are not popular among the men here. One man’s concise reply expresses the consensus of opinion: “Bloomers are all right on some ather fellow’s girl.” ee ee A Difference. From the New York Observer. Some one, of a sarcastic turn of mind, no doubt, says that in times gone by the saints occupied hardwood seats in their plain sanctuaries, and “My God, the Spring of All My Joys.” Then all the people sang. Now the worshipers sit on soft cushions in elegant edifices, while the choir sings for them or to them, “Art Thou Weary, Art Thou Languid?" —_—_+o+__ Much ™ a Name. From the New York Herald, . Customer—“Fifty cents for filling this prescription? Why, at the drug store down the street they charged me only a quarter.” Druggist—“That’s all it’s worth at that store, ma’am. They put about four cents worth of drugs in the bottle and then fill it up with water. I put in the same drugs and fil the bottle with the finest aqua pura.

D.,; John M. Gregory and Rev. Dr. J. E. Gilbert of this city are on the program as teachers or lecturers. Mr. Harry Wheaton Howard, organist of Calvary Baptist Church, has resigned his position and has gone abroad for three years to study music under some of the best teachers in Europe. Rey. Alexander Kent, D. D., pastor of the People’s Church, has just returned from a two weeks’ visit to Chicago. This will constitute all of the doctor’s vacation this summer. ~ The evening of the Fourth of July Dr. Hodgkins of Falls Church invited the chil- dren of the Junior Endeavor Country Home to eat ice cream and bananas on his lawn. Many such kindnesses are being shown to the children during their visit, and the home is fully equaling the expectations of its founders. Rev. E. 8. Todd, D. D., of Hamline Church is living near the city and will continue to do so during the months of July and August. He will, however, take a va- cation later on.

Dr. Gregg of Baltimore. ‘The choir of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church has disbanded for the summer, not to recommence singing as a body until next September. In the meantime the musical portion of the services will be rendered by a sextet, under the direction of Precentor D. W. Middleton, and com- posed as follows: Miss Halley, first so- Prano; Miss Ballman, alto, and the Misses Wheeler and Washington, second sopranos; Mr..Lane, tenor, and J. Strother Miller, jr., bass. _,The different societies of the Baptist Young People’s Union in this city are look- ing forward with great interest to the in- ternational conyention which takes place next week in Baltimore. The latter city being so near it is expected that the Wash- ington delegation will be very large, and in one or two instances nearly entire socie- ties are counting on going over in a body to attend one or more of the services. The convention is composed of deiegates from young people's societies of every name and character in Baptist churches. It Is internatioral in its character. The great. work carried on by this organization is the training of young Christians in Christi culture. The several Christian culture courses are conducted by leading educators and ministers of the denomination. The work of the winter and spring of the | Metropolitan A, M. E. Church closed with special services last Sunday, though the morning and evening services are to be continued, as usual. The occasion was “Old People’s day,” and there were five services during the day, at one of which the Lord's supper was served to more than fifty persons who are verging on the al- Ictted span of life. 2 Wednesday next Rev. W. C. Alexander, D. D., pastor of the West Street Presby- terlan Church, will leave with his family for Aurora, W. Va., where he expects to spend his vacation.

Tyler Page of St. George's Chapter, Baltimore; and “The Chapter Meeting—How to Secure a Good Attend- ance,” opened by Mr. H. S: Childs of St. Andrew's Chapter, Washington. Each sub- ject will be followed by general discussion in five-minute addresses. Rev. Watson Case of Grace M. E. Church has decided not to leaye on an extended vacation this year, but will take short trips from time to time. > A source of much gratification to the members of the Fifth Congregational Church, located in the northeast section of the city, is that the church is represented at the Christian Endeavor convention in Ecston by six delegates, notwithstanding the fact that Fifth Chureh is the smallest Ccngregational Church in the city, and one ef the smallest of any denomination here. The members of the sodality of St. Au- gustine’s parish received holy communion in a body at the early morning mass last Sunday. 3 At a recent election of the Young Peo- Ple’s Society of Christian Endeavor of the West Street Presbyterian Church, Mr.Chas.

One of the Traditions of th® Days af the Santa Fe Trail. Not long ago The Star writer had occa- sion to visit western Missouri, Among one of the traditions of the little city of Inde- pendence, which until the days of the rall- road was the eastern terminus of the Santa Fe trail, the following story was told: In the old days of the Santa Fe trail the freighters made one round trip a season. The Ame~icans very generally wintered at Independence, while the Mexican traders naturally put in the same season at the town of Santa Fe. In the spring the teams were made up, the wagons loaded and the long caravans of prairie schooners, with their white tilts and from five to fifteen yoke of oxen, began moving out on their long voyage across the plairs. As was stated, these outfits made only one round trip per seazon, the Mexicans getting rid of their freight at Independ- ence some time along in midscmmer and loading up egain for Santa Fe, while the Americans threw off their first load at Santa Fe and reloaded again for Independ- ence. Along in the late forties an energetio character named Frank X. Aubrey came from New York to Independerce, bought @ lot of teams and started into business as a freighter. Such was his push and vim that he made tvo trips a season, starting out from Independence in the early spring and winding up his second round trip at that point rather late in the fall. Aubrey piled. up a great deal of money at the business, and set such an energetic example that he was soon recognized as the leader. With all his business thrift and vigor, Aubrey was also what one might call “a sporting character.” The distance -from Santa Fe to Independence was about 800 miles. One day while discussing freight~ ing and the length of time it ought to take to cover the distance between Independ- ence and Santa Fe, Aubrey’ made the rath- er bold assertion that he could start alone on a single horse and push through to In- dependence in eight days himself. A dis- pute arose, end the result was that Aubrey offered to wager $5,000 that he could start on a thoroughbred horse he had, of unus- ual speed end bottem, and with the Hberty to buy such horses as he might need on the way, and 86 remount himself as often ag he had a chance, and be in Independence at the stage station in less than eight days of twenty-four hours each from the 4 he left Santa Fe. The money was co’ and the weger made. Aubrey started and was in Independence, Mo., in just seven days ten hours from the time said “good-bye” to Santa Fe, He had remountec him: twice. Then a seccnd wager was made. The parties who had lost the $5,000 with the bold New Yorker, after considerable dick- ering, managed to make a wager of $10,000 a side with Aubrey. This time he was to go from Sunta Fe to Independence, a rua of ful! 800 miles, in six days. It was at the best season of the year, There were no rains, while the grass was good and the trail as hard as a vot Aubrey had the same liberty to rem himself as often as he came upon a hors® that he preferred to his own. But he was not permitted to arrange relays or post horses In advance along the trail. Indeed, he had no time wherein to make these rangements, even if he had desired to they had been allowed. He started out of Santa Fe the even! of a June day. It was Sunday. The Me: cans looking on argued success to the dare ing rider from the holy character of the day. All he had with him as provender was a little dried beef. He expected to get food at the stage stations along the trail. Seturday afternoon of the same week he rode into the public square at Ine dependence,winning the race by five hours, He was just five days and nineteen hours riding the 800 miles, and had used eleven horses. He had had two brushes with In- dians, and bad been chased by them at = Cimmaron crossing of the Arkansas, again at Paynee Rock. He escaped, how- ever, with ncthing worse than an arrow through his arm. It is related that when he s!!pped from the saddle at Independence he hadn't slept a wink for fifty-six hours. Bystanders as- serted that he was sound asleep the in- stant he touched the ground. Aubrey was carried into the hotel and put to bed, and never opered bis eyes again until Monday morning about 2 o'clock. He then came around as fresh as a daisy and as eg 4 as a wolf. He rovted out the cook of the hotel, made him come down to the kitchen and cook him something to eat. He won $15,000 on these two races, and in the last one made a record for long-distance riding as ee te such a man of 5! Just to show how and zeal may end, it might be added Pe Frank X. Aubrey was stabbed to death a brawl in a Santa Fe dance hall. This was some five years after his great ride. Old plainsmen will still tell you, however, of the expicits of Aubrey, und he is revere ently mentioned with such worthies as Subiette, Kit Carson,’ Ben Holliday and old Jim Pr Sa . om Mis Stand@point.
