With the approach of Easter the great question with every woman 1s what to wear to be in the very latest style, and Mrs. Lent’s opening last Monday and.

As noted in these colomns Mrs, Lent had pur- chased a beautiful stock, and the ladies were expecting to find some- thing fine in the ladies’ headgear line, but when they visited Mrs. Lent’s parlors they were astonished at the exqusite lovliness of dreams of beauty Jashionedyby artistic hauds which were who had spent a week visiung with his tamily here left for Ashiand fast!

C. Miller, and treated that deservedly popular and worthy couple to asurprise party, the event being gotten up to commemorate the an- niversary of Mrs. Miller’s birthday. assembling of these fnends at their home took Mr, and Mrs. Miller by surprise, their genuine hospitality soon made the visitors wel- come, and an evening of perfect en- joyment was had by all. Mine Host and Hosted Gunn of the Hotel Pokegama entertained a large party of friends at cards at that deservedly popular hostelry on Thurs- day evening last. The spacious din- ing room of the hotel was taxed to its capacity to accommodate the many players, and no effort was spared by the host and hostess to give their guests an evening of perfect enjoy- ment, and progressive pedro was the game played.

The Navies of the United States and Spain Compared. While we are hopeful that the ex- isting difficulties with Spain may even yet prove to be capable of ad- justment by peaceful methods, it is likely that if hostilities come at all they will come quickly. It is equally certain that the issues of war should be determined upon the sea, anda brief comparison of the fighting strength of the two navies will be just now of special interest. Could we defeat Spain upon the high sea? It is safe to say that there is not a citizen of this country that doubts for a moment that we could. To the lay mind the task of annihilating the Spanish navy ap pears not unly certain, but easy; to the professional mind, as represent- ed by the men who designeand fight our ships, the task» appears equally certain, but,by no means so easy of accomplishment. i Itis better to over rather than underestimate an opponent, and it is best of all to rate him at his true yalue: hence we may as well admit at at the outset that Spain would go in- to war, as far as their ships are con- cerued, with a homogeneous, com- _ Crockery ana Glassware We have just unpacked and placed in stock. a New Invoice of Crockery and Glassware.

Each fleet would be strong where the other is weak, and taking the two fleets as they stand—swift, heavily armored cruisers and deadly destroy- ersagainst mighty battleships and more livhtly armored cruisers—the issue,judged independently of ‘the men behind the guns,’? would ,be by nO Means so ceitain as_ is popularly supposed. The man behind the gun, however, would be the controlling factor, and it is the supreme confi- dence of the American public in the pluck and discipline of the crews and the skill and daring of our naval officers which renders it so confident of final victory. If war should come, it would be the object of Spain: to obtain a de- cisive naval victory at the very out- set. Cuba being the objective point of both combatants, the war would probably be carried on in Cuban waters. The almost insuperable dif- ficulties of coal supply would prevent any delay in risky attempts upon our now well defended sea ports. The same difficulty would render it to Spain’s advantage to wage an aggres- sive warfare and deal asearly as possible an effective blow ina gen- eral engagement. 'The approach of the powerful battleship ‘‘Oregon,” from the Pacific, would prompt such a policy. It is more than likely that a numerous squadron, comprising all the powerful armored tighting ships of the Spanish navy and their recent- ly completed torpedo-hoat destroyers, would be.dispatched to give battle to our combined fleets in the neighbor hood of Cuba. We will suppose that only the ar- mored ships would be placed in the first Jine of battle, and for the prr- pose of comparison, we will suppose that.all the modern armored ships of Spain would be sent over in the effort to win a decisive battle. The Spanish line could boast of only one first-class’ battleship, the “Pelayo.” Sheisa 9,900-ton ship, of 16 knots.speed, carrying’two 124 and two 11-inch guns in 11-inch steel. bar- bettes, placed high above the water line. She basa 17.7-inch steel belt along the whole line, and her second- ary battery contains pine 54-inch ! pact and very formidable fieet—one but possesses the fatal defect of hav- ing no armor protection between the Darbettes and the belt. On this ac- count, high explosive sbel's bursting beneath the barbettes might early put them out .of ation. “Pelayo” we could oppose the*Iowa,” of 11,410 tons, carrying four 12-inch guns, eight 8-inch guns, and a second- ary battery of four 6-ineh guns. She is protected by a 14-inch belt, and the main battery is protected from the turret roof down to the belt with 15 inches of steel. She is thus larger and more heavily armed and armored than the “Pelayo,” and, saving the chances of a modern sea fight, should easily silence or sink the Spaniard. With the exception of its one first- class battleship, the Spanish line of hattle would consist of a magnificent fleet of eight swift, heavily armed and hea,ily armored cruisers, similar in size, speed and power, and admir- ably adapted to act together in a con- certed fleet action. There is no na- tion in the world that possesses such a fleet, not even England, ‘and the fact that the ships are all built to carry the large normal coal supply of 1,200 tons would seem to indicate they are built for such an emergency as now cunfroats them. The most important and largest of these ships is the ‘Carlos V.” of 9,235. tons and 20 knots speed. Her curved deck plating is 6} inches thick, and her secondary battery is protected by a continuous belt of 2 inches of steel. She carries two J1-inch guns disposed in two barbettesOf 10-inch steel, anda secondary battery of eight53-inch and four 3.9-inch:rapid-fire guns. Against her we coul@: oppose the ‘‘Brooklyn,”’ which closely resembles her-in many points. She is of 9,250 tons displace- ment,21.9 knots speed and is protect- ed by a steel deck 6 inches thick on the slopes, to which is added a belt of 3-inch steel extending in the wake of the engine rooms and boilers. She carries an exceptionally heavy | bat- tery of eight 8-inch guns, protected by 5¢ and 8 inches of ‘steel, anda secondary battery of twelve 5-inch rapid-tire guns. Ualess a lucky shel from the great ll-inch guns of the “Corlos V.”? should tind its way into her engine or boiler room, she should | prove more than a macth for the | Spaniard, 1 " [Concluded on Page 4.) rapid-fire guns. She is a good ship. ‘ Hom To the! Mis skers? Excursion Rates Via the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad.
