HAS TEN FOURTEEN-INCH GUNS Armor licit in Thirteen ntil n Hull Inch Thick nml extend IMffht Feet Ileloir the Wnter Line. 1 WM. L. HOLZMAN, Treas. &ihmfui g QUINCT. Mass, July U. -Turbine engines ami oil fuel will furnish the motive power of the 27.EW.ton battleship Nevada, which was launched at tho yards of the Fore River Ship Building company this afternoon. Secretary Daniels of the Navy department, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, Governor Tasker L. Oddlo of Nevada and Senator Pittman of that state wero the principal guests at tho launching. The sponsor was Governor Oddle's niece, Eleanor Ann Slebert, 10 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Slebert of Reno. Another guests was Edward II. Qls burne of Qulncy, who was given a medal of honor a few days ago by Secretary Daniels for gallentry In the fighting nt A'cra Cruz. Glsburne, who was wireless operator on the battleship Florida, was wounded while signalling to the fleet from a hotel roof and It was found neces sary to amputate one of his legs. Greatest Ship In Xavy. The Nevada's displacement Is 27,50 tons, or 600 tons greater than the Texas and New York, tho latest Bea giants to be commissioned by the United States. Its length la 683 feet, with a breadth of ninety-five feet and two and one-half Inches on load water Una. Ten fourteon-Inch guns, capable of fir ing 1,400-pound shells, will constltue her principal armament. Two three-gun tur rots will be among Its defenses. One of these largest of turrets will be on the lorecastle deck along with a turret from which two big guns will bo pointed. An other two-gun turret will sweep tho Qi'arter deck and astern of this will bo the other three-gun turret. The turrets are arranged to make complete revolu tions, so that the entire battery of the big guns can be concentrated on an enemy approaching from either side, for ward or aft. liesldcs Its big fourteen-lnch guns the Nevada will have distributed about Its decks twenty-one five-Inch guns and minor armament such as one-pounders, three-pounders, three-Inch field pieces and machine guns. Tho Nevada's armor renders it wnong the strongest battleships In the navy. Its belt Is thirteen and a half Inches thick and will extend 400 feet along elthor side of the hull. These plates will extend eight and a half feet below tna water line and nlno feet above tho water's sur face. There are two protective decks aa a safeguard against plunging flro, one three Inches and the other one and a half Inches. LarRer Ilrltlsh Ship Dnlldlnar. Whllo the Nevada will represent tho last word In American sea power, tho new British battleship Queen Elizabeth will carry a more formidable armament of no less than eight fifteen-Inch guns. This sea fighter probably will be com missioned the first of next year. The Nevada Is a contemporary of the British warship Iron Duke. The Iron Duke's displacement is 23,000 tons and It curries ten thirteen and a half iricn guns. The . Nevada's speed Is, estimated at twenty, and, a half knobi, or about tho name, as the Iron Duke's. Although the Nevada's armor Is thicker than that of Its British contemporary, It Is not spread over so great and area of side. The Brit ish warrior has a secondary battery of stxteen six-Inch guns, while the Nevada's will consist of twonty-one five-Inch guns. These questions of distribution of armor and the relative Importance of the num ber and caliber of guns aro two problems on which the naval exports of the world aro not' In complete accord. The Nevada will burn oil only, and Its engines havo an Indicated horsepower of 2i',m. The fuel oil will be carried In the double bottom of the ship, this effecting an economy of space over the old ar rangement which called for extensive coal 1 bunkers. Its contractors promise to have tho new battleship completed by Janu ary 22, next. C. 8. MONTGOMERY.

Dr. Eliot, president emeritus of liar. vard university, writes for the Delineator about some of the forces which promise long lire to tne American republic. He considers: Toleration In religion. Universal education. Better family life than that of any perisnea repuDiic. Better and luster Inheritance laws. Extreme publicity In all activities. Organization on a large scale of cor norations which "afford a new discipline for thousands of managing or directing people." Besides, yet by no means In tho last place: "Universal suffrage prolongs In the United States the effect of universal edu cation; for It stimulates all citizens throughout their lives to reflect on prob lems outside the narrow circle of their private Interests and occupation: to read about public ouentlonv. to discuss public characters, and to hold themselves ready In some dcerre tn give a rational ac count of their political faith."

" London Evening .Stand- Salesmen Who Say They Are Inspec tors Try to Force Purchase. C0NNELL DENIES AUTHORITY Sna Council linn Ti Ordered Tbrtn mid Inspector Were Told They Could Receive No I'ny for Ilnostlni;'. Complaint that city health Inspectors aro attempting to forco householders to purchase new garbage cans with patent fly-trap attachments has reached the health depurtment. and Dr. R. W. Con Hell, health commissioner, will Investigate tha charges. Housewives havo been told that tlut purchase was mandatory. Snm Tlnthwf.l!- n )irnlHi InHTlnrfnr I. sum 10 navo urgeu me purennso or tno fly-trap cans. Dr. Connell said: "Somo time ago I guva a letter to a sales company of this garbagu can and fly-trap, saying It wns a good dovlt-o and would help abate tho fly nuisance. At that tlmo I told the health Inspectors that If they had anything to do with the pro motion or sale of the fly-trap cans they should rcceho no financial consideration for It. "I made It very plain that they should absolutely refrain from working for this company for pay." The complaints arc that certain health Inspectors have represented that the city council passed an ordinance ordering tho use of this fly-trap can. Concerning this Dr. Council said: "Such an ordinance would be advisable If there were several such fly-trap con trivances on the market, and If such was the case I would recommend an ordin ance to that effect, but when there Is only one such devlco such an ordinance would savor of favoritism." Rothwoll will be called Into Dr Con nell's presence to explain his possible con nection with the fly-trap company. 400 a year. Not one of our members spends less than 30 a year on postage. Then there are the subscription fiends. Tho member from East Edlnbuigh says that the average paid-in subscriptions by euch M. P. Is at least .C100 a year. No mutter how slender his Income, he must pay or risk losing his seat. When Mr. Kebty-Flctcher became mem ber for Altrlneham, the first letter he opened began like this: "Heartiest con gratulations. Will you give 1110 two guineas for tliu boys' club?" The second was: "Do you want a flat In London?" and tha third wus an In dignant oplBtle from n person who had wagered on Mr. Fletcher's opponent, and wanted him Mr. Fletcher-to pay his losses. Spenking of tho post, blue books must not be forgotten; nlso White papers and Orders of tho Day. If ever he has any spare time, the member must upend It HiugglnK up the contents of tho blue hooks. He must be at the House not Inter than 12 often earlier for select committees, of which there are any number, usually meet at half past eleven. After a hasty lunch the business of tho House begins. About that time callers also begin. An uttendant brings In tho familiar green card, and the member must go out and receive Smith or Jones or Brown. He Is lucky If he can get rid of him with u gallery ticket. If not, he has to act as guide for nt least half an hour. Then come divisions. Sometimes there aro twenty-five In a day, and In one ses sion there havo been as many as 1SJ. Each division takes, on an average, twelve minutes. Five hours wasted In one day by the ridiculously antiquated procodure. In practically every oase the result Is a foregone conclusion. Besides, let It be mentioned that those twonty-flve divisions meant that each inmher had to walk a distance of nearly three miles. Is It possible to believe that In that inomorable session of 132 divisions there wore members who voted In all? Nowadays the whips are remorseless. No mutter how urgent a member's priv ate business, he must put divisions first. A few weeks ago a new and terrible de vice was Instituted, Written on a long board In a passage Is the name of every member of tho House, and by each name a small plug. When the owner of the name Is away from Westminster his plug Is pushed light Into the hole; when on the premises it Is pulled out about an Inch. Unionist plugs are one color: coalition another. A glance at the board, there fore, shows the whips the exact stats of parties In the House. Since the Institution of 100 a year fop M. P.'s there Is no mercy shown them. They aro part of a machine. They speak and vote to order, They must obey orders) like schoolboys, they must live In London mid work like galloy-slavcs. Answers. Omaha real estate is t bi-. Invesimnnt you could make.
