She will have some small guns on board
with which to sink unarmored gunboats
and torpedo boats, and will have three
torpedo tubes with which to blow up great
steel battleships, but her principal line of
work will be to rid the seas of all inimical
torpedo boats and commerce destroyers.
The two torpedo boat catchers which
are building on this side of the continent
will remain in the Atlantic, while the one
building in Seattle will be stationed in the
Pacific.

If it became necessary to have these
three valuable adjuncts to the American
navy in a hurry, it is thought that if an
extra allowance were made for the pay-
ment of a full night force and a larger day
force they could all be put in readiness
within two months.

The Bailey, when completed, will be 205
feet long, 19 feet in the beam, 13 feet 5
inches in depth of hold, and have a dis-
placement of 235 tons at the first trial and
265 tons when in commission.
Her hull will weigh 67.5 tons; her ma-
chinery, 115 tons: her tanks, when full, 10
tons: ordnance, 12.6 tons; other equip-
ments, 9 tons. The most peculiar thing
about the Bailey will be its comparatively
enormous motive power.
Although she will be of only 265 tons
displacement, she will have engines with
a capacity of 5600 horse-power, which is
more than one-half the power on a mod-

Experience of Two Russian Officers Upon
Returning from a Furlough.
New York Sun.
“To give you some idea of the official
reticence of the European governments,
and the jealous espionage which they keep
upon one another,” said a colonel who
fills a place of great importance-, “ I want
to tell you an incident that occurred while
I was in Berlin some years ago.
“It is the practice of the Russian mili-
tary department to withhold information
from even the officers of the army, and in
this respect it carries its exclusiveness
further than any other government. Two
officers of the Russian army had been in
Germany on leave of absence, and before
the leave expired their regiments had been
transferred to another station. This much
the officers knew.
“But when their furloughs were over
and they tried to locate their commands
they could learn nothing. They applied to
headquarters in St. Petersburg, but they Schott^
met only refusals and protestations of Ig-
norance. Here was a dilemma! What
could the officers do, with court-martials
hanging over them for overstaying their
leaves? And yet no time was allowed in
which to find their regiments.
“They were then in Berlin, and the fol-
lowing solution suggested! itself: They
went to the government bureau of mili-
tary information, where one of the two
officers put the case this way: ‘See here,
you can help us out of a difficulty if you
will. We’ve been away on leave. Our
regiments are so and so and they have
been transferred. Our leave is nearly up
and we can’t find out from St. Petersburg
where the regiments are. Now, will you
help us?’
“ ‘And, by George!” said the colonel,
“they did help them. They told them just
where those regiments were. I’ll bet they
could have given them all the details of
the transfer. And that’s the way you
have it on the continent—reticence and
concealment, offset by spies’.’
“Have you been requested to hurry
along the construction?” was asked.
“Not yet,” said the superintendent,” but
if we should get hurry orders I think we
could, with our present force and facili-
ties, complete this boat within less than
four months by working night and day.
“It would be useless for us to attempt
to complete her according to specifica-
tions in less time than four months.”

“Beyond specifying that the boat shall
have a speed of at least 30 knots an hour,
and some general dimensions as to length,
tonnage, horse-power, etc., the govern-
ment is going to let the builders see what
they can do to increase the speed of the
boat. We have already secured most of
the material for the boat. The material

But the other work
has been preparatory in the way of get-
ting up models for certain improvements
in machinery, which we hope to introduce
with a view to increasing the speed, as we
get a bonus for all speed developed over 30
knots an hour. We confidently expect the
Bailey to make a speed of 33 knots an
hour, which is fast enough to capture the
swiftest torpedo boats used by any other
nation.”
One of Three Such Vessels Ordered Now
Building in New York.
New York Sun.
Although the United States government
has three torpedo beat destroyers building
under contracts calling for their comple-
tion 18 months from last fall, and al-
though hurry orders have been placed for
guns and ammunition elsewhere, the firms
which are constructing these three addi-
tions to the navy have not yet been asked
to hasten their work. Congress in 1897
appropriated money for the construction
of three torpedo boat destroyers to be
built at a cost not to exceed $250,000 each.
Each boat was to be ready within a year
and half from the time of letting the con-
tract last fall. Wollf, Zwicker & Co.
Seattle secured the contract for one
these boats; Harlan & Hollingsworth
Wilmington, Del., for another, and the
contract for the remaining boat was
awarded to Seabury & Co. of this city,
whose works are on the Harlem river at
Morris Heights.
The boat to be built in this city will be
named the Bailey, after Theodoric Bailey,
who was second in command under Far-
ragut in the passing of Forts Phillips and
Jackson on the Mississippi. The superin-
tendent of the shipyard at Morris Heights
said today:
“When the contracts for building the
torpedo boat catchers were let there was
no thought of immediate war and the
usual time for construction was put in the
specifications. The construnction of this
boat will differ from most government
craft in that much has been left to the
Social Functions.

THE ANNUAL CHARITY BALL.
Galveston has a beautiful house provided
for the shelter of the little ones who are
dependent upon charity, the Galveston or-
phans’ home, provided by the- philan-
thropy of Henry Rosenberg. One of the
means of supporting the inmates of the
institution is by giving the annual charity
ball. The one given last night at Har-
mony hall was a success in every particu-
lar. The entertainment rendered by the
little ones was highly satisfactory. The
fancy work exhibit attracted much at-
tention and the ladies realized over $50 by
holding a reception from 4 to 7 o’clock, at
which tea was served to the- callers. The
candy booth and flower table were well
patronized and resulted in a snug little
sum. The supper was served in first class
style and many were the patrons who en-
joyed It.
The ball commenced at 9.30, and it was
late when the merry dancers retired. The
ladies of the executive board through
whose zeal and ability the affair was
brought to such a brilliant success, are as
follows: Mrs. T. J. Ballinger, chairman;
Mrs. H. A. Landes, Mrs. H. Kempner,
Mrs. Fred Schneider, Mrs. A. A. Van Al-
styne, Mrs. L. Fellman, Mrs. G. M. Courts

A Committee to Wait on Citizens and Pro-
test Against the Wage Scale-.
As previously announced, a meeting of
the Carpenters’ and Joiners’ union was
held last night to consider the scale of
wage-s which it is announced will be paid
to carpenters on the new fortifications to
be erected here by the government. After
the meeting the following statement of
the position taken by the carpenters was
made public:
“Carpenters will not work for less than
35 cents per hour, day’s work not to
ceed eight hours, all over time
double time. Carpenters will
against any reduction in wages.
“A committee was appointed to wait on
all citizens to protest against lengthen-
ing hours and reducing wage-s. We be-
lieve we are doing that which is to the
best interest of the city of Galveston and
the country in general. The carpenters of
the city of Galveston would prefer to work
two or three shifts of eight hours each,
thereby giving the unemployed a chance
for a day's work, as we know there are
plenty of idle men. We respectfully re-
quest the co-operation of the citizens in
our protest against low wages and long
hours. We desire the- public to under-
stand the statement made by Secretary C.
E. Woodward of the district council to be
in favor of an eight hour day, and no dif-
ference to be made in the rate of wages
paid day and night shifts, and the follow-
ing are our requests as they will be pre-
sented to congress by petition:
“To the Members of the United States
Congress: We, the undersigned citizens of
the city of Galveston, county of Galves-
ton, state of Texas, respectfully petition
congress, through Hon. R. B. Hawley of
this (the Tenth) congressional district of
Texas, to have the- same rate of wages
paid and number of hours worked upon
coast defense work that was in effect at
Fort Point in the year 1897, and up to
April 11, 1898, namely, '35 cents per hour
and eight hours per day. This is the local
rate as it is recognized by local contract-
ors, architects and others. Respectfully
submitted, COMMITTEE.”
The following real estate transfers were
filed for record in the county clerk’s office
yesterday:
J. C. League to M. M. Gough, lot 7, di-
vision “B,” subdivison of Austin and Mul-
doon grants, $249.
D. B. Bell to Albert Rollins, lot 7, sub-
divison of the S. F. Austin league, $900.

To Be Committed to Memory by All
Dyspeptics, Invalids, Con-
sumptives.
What is the first cause of nine-tenths
of all disease?
Imperfect digestion of food.
Why does imperfect digestion cause dis-
ease of other organs?
Because blood nerves, muscles, bone and
flesh are derived from the food we eat and
digest. If digestion is perfect the blood is
pure, nerves and muscles strong, flesh
firm. If the digestion is poor, the blood
is supplied from, half-digested, fermenting
food, irritating every nerve and organ.
The result is, sooner or later, organic
disease, because every organ being poorly
nourished the weakest gives way first
and we have liver trouble, kidney com-
plaints, heart disease or consumption.
Is not dieting the usual and best treat-
ment to cure indigestion?
No, because the dyspeptic has been
starved long enough; what is needed is
abundant nourishment, not the lack of it.
The stomach and blood demand nutri-
ment, not bran crackers.
What is the best method of cure?
Plenty of whole-some food well digested.
But how can a weak stomach digest
plenty of wholesome food?
By taking with the food after each meal
certain harmless remedies which are
known to digest food and thus nourish the
blood and rest the weak stomach.
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable fer-
ments, pure pepsin, Golden Seal and fruit
salts. All of these are now combined in
the form of pleasant tasting tablets sold
by druggists under the name of Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Are these tablets superior to the various
liquid preparations so called dyspepsia
cures?
Most decidedly, because all liquid medi-
cines become stale with age and lose
whatever good qualities they may have
had originally, while the tablet retains
its properties indefinitely. Stuart’s Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be carried in the pock-
et, always at hand ready for use when
traveling or at daily occupation. They
cost but 50 cents and should be kept in
every family. They keep the digestion
perfect and save doctor’s bills by warding
off disease.
Are Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets adapted
to all forms of dyspepsia?
. Yes, because in all cases the trouble re ■

THE TALK OF THE TOWN
was a sensation on Market street when
a man ran madly along the sidewalk at an
hour of the day when that thoroughfare
was crowded with shoppers. He was fol-
lowed by a number of citizens in hot pur-
suit, but when overtaken he stated calmly
that he was only exercising the privilege
of an American citizen and was hastening
to the nearest phone to order a case of
Galveston bottled beer.
Somebody has evidently designs on some-
body else in this town if the mute evi-
dence of a lot of infernal, machines is to
be taken as proving the fact.
Just who that somebody with designs is
or wlho is the somebody against whom
the designs are harbored is a mystery
which the police are trying to clear up.
In fact, there is a deal of mystery about
these infernal machines and the police at
these times. When I went over to the city
hall this morning and started into the of-
fice of the chief a policeman stopped me
with the crisp order, “Don’t go in there.”
The policeman was neither big nor burly,
for the simple reason that Galveston does
not grow that brand of bluecoat. But
there was something imperative and seri-
ous about the command. It’s a hard job
to take a Galveston policeman as a seri-
ous proposition, but it hadi to be done
in this case.
“Why not?” I asked, with my hand on
the door knob.
“They’ve got an infernal machine.”
“Infernal machines are my long suit,”
said I, and as I disappeared through the
door the policeman mumbled something
about fools rushing in where angels fear
to tread.
Over in a corner by a window was Ai-
derman Stewart, Chief Jones and another
man with their heads together. Sergeant
Paul Delaya was doing duty at another
door and occasionally poking his head into
the room to ask if it had gone off.
Aiderman Stewant had the infernal ma-
chine. It was a cylinder about four inches
long made of tin, with one end open and
the other sealed with a tin cap. Down
the center was a copper rod, one end of
which was attached to the tin cap, while
the other end played free. The cylinder
was lined with a white substance inside
of which was closely packed a black
powder. The thing had been found on the
street by a man who had taken it to the
chief’s office and suggested that it might
be an infernal machine. As this was about
the sixth or seventh of these things the
police have gotten hold of, the chief
thought it might be something of the kind
and sent for Aiderman Stewart to pass
judgment on it as an expert in high ex-
plosives and infernal machines.
The aiderman took his pocket knife and
started to pick away the white stuff
which plugged up the open end of the
cylinder.
“Look out there,” chied the chief.
“Look out there,” echoed the sergeant.
The policeman took up the cry and it
echoed and reverberated through the halls
of the seat of the city’s government.
Aiderman Stewart looked out. Then he
pulled out a small piece of the white stuff.
“It’s gun cotton,” said one.
“It’s dynamite,” suggested another.
' “It’s blotting paper,” I ventured to chip
in, and the blotting paper theory at once
jumped to an odds on favorite in the
betting.
The pieces were laid tenderly on a win-
dow sill. Then the black powder stuff
was discovered.
“It must be an infernal machine,” said
the expert alderman in high explosives.
“It is an infernal machine,” declared
the chief.
Then some of the black stuff was poured
on the sill beside the white stuff which
might be gun cotton or blotting paper or
any old stuff.
“What are you going to d-o?” asked the
chief as the aiderman scratched a match
where matches are usually scratched.
“Touch it off,” said he.
“Not much,” from the chief.
“Here goes,” said the aiderman, and as
the match came into juxtaposition with
the white stuff and the black powder
great gobs of distance was placed between
that trio and men in that police office.
Did you ever monkey with a supposed
infernal machine? If not you don’t know
anything about how a fellow feels who
gets close to one of those things. There is
such a wealth of uncertainty about it all
that a fellow experiences that far away
feeling and usually gets himself hence
without delay.
Closer and closer approached the match
in the hand of the expert aiderman. Fur-
ther and further retreated the spectators.
At last the conjunction was complete and
there was nothing. Not even a little sizzle
was emitted as the match slowly burned
itself out. If this was indeed an infernal
machine, the match method was evidently
not the way to explode it.
Then Aiderman Stewart wanted to put
it in a stove and sit on the stove while he
tested it that way. But the chief would
not hear to it and the aiderman left. The
chief then started out with the bomb to
find Lieut. Riche to see if he could solve
the mystery.
“There is something wrong about this
thing,” the chief declared. “We have
been getting hold of a lot of these bombs
or infernal machines or whatever they are
and I’d just like to- catch the fellow who is
leaving them around loose. If I did, well,
I’d—” and the chief muttered something
about what a fellow deserves who would
scare people in times like these when peo-
ple are pretty badly scared anyhow.
