The works, which will be a very essential part of the Goldsborough’s makeup, will | be put in before she is launched ‘The conning towers are on the decks, and a big hood, shaped like a half cone, extends along the forward | deck ready to receive the breakers | @hat rolis over the shiu as she plows | along, and drop them gently back | into their element before they have time to look round for damage to do.

WASHINGTON, April 4. fame of Washington rests on noth- ng more firmly than upon the mult! plicity of its cranks. They haunt the very streets, but the big depart- ment buildings are their particular trysting place. The census bureau, since its establishment, has become 4 sort of a loadstone for them, much to the relief of the others.

FARGO, N. D., been a great rush to this state dur- ing the last few weeks of persons anxious to obtain divorces on the rapid transit plan After July 1 one year’s residence tn the state will be one of the cond) tions of obtaining a divorce in North Duxota, The law requiring year’s residence was passed by the legiviature dur ¢ the session which has just closed, but was so amended as to provide that divorces obtained by persons who have resided in the state ninety days prior to July 1 shall be legal. This accounts for the rush of divorce seekers to this state just now. During the last 30 days 200 persons anxious to obtain divor- ces have arrived here and many oth ers bave gone to various places in thie state, Many of them reached here ae late as last night. The attorneys and hotelkeepers in Fargo and other cities in North Da- one kota deeply regret the change in the | jaw. Lawyers and hotel men profit- ed most, but other business enter prises recetved considerable benefit, | and it in estimated that the divorce colonies in different towns left at least $500,000 In the state annualiy Some of those now here seeking di vorces will not succeed in getting away for aix months, especially tn | cases where there are contest South Dakota will be the Mecca in the future, for there only @ six months’ residence is required.

Duffy was employed as an engine wiper, and had crawled between the wheels for the purpose of cleaning the ash pan of the engine when the huge machine was started | by a wrong signal. ‘The unfortunate man was caught between the wheels, and with a de spairing cry that froze the blood of }his horrified brothers, he was ground to death. His neck was broken, one ot his arms was cut off, and he was otherwise mangied. ADDRESSES — ARE WANTED Of Persons Pledging Money for Crittenton Home.
