DESIGNERS TO COMPETE.
Expert* In Naval Construction in Civil
Life Want to Submit Plana.
Special to The tight.
Warhlngtou. D. C. Sept. 22.—The
navy department in in receipt of num-
erous inquiiie* from experts in naval
construction in civil life who desire
to enter the competition of designs
for the new battleship. Something
like twenty serioua propositions have
been submitted from as many sources
inquiring is to the chief characteris-
tics and asking for further statistics
regarding thi ship.
The fact that the law requires a
vessel of proftortiona and qualifica-
tions at lesst equal to if not superior
to. the biggect and best of the type
abroad has Introduced an element of
uncertainty as to what would be re-
garded as an acceptable vessel. The
navy department authorities feel that
the competition will be a lively one
and will result in many now Ideas of
battleship equipment including the
fighting power of the ship as repre-
sented by an arrangement of the or-
dinance and in the protective quality
arrived at by lessening the effect of
the gun fire of the enemy.
The competition therefore will
place the navy department in posses-
sion of some new Ideas but it is a
question whether these may be used
without compensation to their authors.
It is not expected that the appioved
design will come from a civilian
source althcbgh as has been stated.
It la appreciated that details of con-
•truction and equipment of value are
destined to be derived from the com-
petitors. The navy department has
sent practically no information to
these civilian designers. Some of
them asked for so much information
that It would have been impossible
to comply with the requests without
entailing much labor upon the depart-
ment as well as running the risk of
Incurring the charge of favoritism In
giving more information to one com-
petitor than to another.

RESTORED TO FAMILY.
Typhoid Fever Destroyed Memory of
a Pennsylvania Miner.
Shamokin Pa.. Sept. 22. —John
O'Gara a well known local business
man haa returned from Philadelphia
and presented Mrs. Grant Lewis with
1150 a gift fiom her busband whom
she had believed to by dead for eleven
years. Lewi* a real miner left here
in 1893 for the west where he engag-
ed in railroading. He intended to send
for his family whin he was perman-
ently sttlcd and he sent money to Mrs.
Lewis for several month* in succes-
sion. After that nothing was heard
of him and following a fruitless
search h- was considered dead.
He had been stricken with typhoid
fever it appears which caused a lapse
of memory as to his previous life but
he resumed work on the railroad and
invested in Chicago real estate which
netted him $4O 000.
While In Philadelphia on a business
trip Lewis was recognized by O'(1 UTA
«n dd friend. Lewis did not know
him until O'Gara spoke of past inci-
dents in the coal mining region.
His listener's memory ’hen revived
and suddenly he asked for his wife.
O’Gara told him .ife wns alive as well
a* hi x sevetal children. Lewis then
grew frantic with joy. and. learning
that O'Gara was about to return home
thrust $l5O Into his hands with in-
structiofls to present the money to
Mrs. and inform her that he
wj* alive and would join her as soon
as an important business deal had
been transacted in Philadelphia.

We dealt with books we trusted

pen.
As If such colors could not fly.
We walked too straight for for-
tune's end.
We loved too true to keep a friend;
At last we're tired my heart and I.
Tired out we are my heart and I.
Suppose the world brought diadems
To tempt us. loaded with crusted
gems
Of powers and pleasures? Let it try.
We scarcely care to look at even
A pretty child or God's blue heaven
We feel so tired my heart and I.
Yet who complains? My heart and 1?
In this abundant earth no doubt
Is little room for things worn out;
Disdain them break them throw them

And if beiorc the days grew rough
We once were loved used well
enough
I think we've fared my heart and I.

Ainslee's.
The Octobei Ainslee s has its usual
quota of clever short stories and
poem*. The serial by May SRielalr —
"Audrey Craven"—is completed in this
number and we sec the "beautiful
Mis* Craven" matrimonially disposed
of. which Is after all the "happy end-
ing." as far as the reader is concern-
ed however It may be to the heroine
herself.
' When She Was un Only Boy.” by
Marlon Hill. Is the story of a little
girl's efforts to be her paper's "a lit-
tle boy.” efter "brother disappeared.''
"Apparently no one know where he
had gone to. either for they were all
carefol to tell Hester that he was not
under the mound w here they put flow-
ers every Sunday." How she learned
to throw stones wore overalls and
sacrificed all her little girlish frills
au.l furbelows to play at being an
"only boy" »o keep the dear "old man”
from "losing his mind" ia admirably
told. So also is her joy when the ar-
rival of a brother tnewi left her al
liberty to resume her birthright of
femininity.
' Sire put her overalls !n the kitchen
fire —the room was desirably empty at
the time —she dumped tops whips
balls marbles and kites in the wood
box; she rumpled her hair to curls
and crowned them with the bluest
and biggest of bows; she gathered
her dolls and dishes and toy table ami
rocking chair into one glorious bunch
and sitting down with the favorite
child in her arms she reveled in her
recovered girlhood singing a soft lul
laby go devotional))- that its melotiv
rose like a hmn of praise aud thank”
giving." Lucky little woman to have
found so early in life that womanhood
is a hcritag-' and needs no other com-
pensation or excuse than its own be-
ing!
"A Maid and Her Money" by Allee
Duer Miller is an amusing story of
an obscure village girl who inherited
millions developed great beauty
achieved sccial position and acquired
the husband of her choice with such
delightful celerity that one feels re-
compensed for some of the cares of
life to know that such things really
do happen still —In fiction.
"A Race Card." by W. A. Fraser is
not as good as his stories can be when
he tries.
w“The Mrs. Gaskell Girl" by Con-
stance Smedley and Pearl Humphrey
is a "short" story to have been writ-
ten by two author* with such long
names but the story itself is good and
the moral better still.
Francis Metcalfe Joseph C- Lincoln.
T. W. Henshaw. Anne O'Hapan and

Smith's.
"The Galveston City Commissiou'
by Annette Austin is a well written
account of "A model form of govern-
ment. which ha* redeemed a stricken
community from chaos aud bankrupt-
cy and demonstrates that It s possi-
ble to conduct a city's affairs success-
fully in honest business principles. "
It Is good to read such encouraging
words of ou r neighbor city aud see
that her example in whatever line of
conduct should be held as an incen-
tive to others. Galveston is a city of
brave-hearted public-spirited people
who. being tried by adversity showed
to the world what they could endure
and do
The two art sections of Smith's are
very good; the series of drawings by
A. G. Learned entitled “The Veil.”
are dainty and attractive though we
miss the strong touch and individual-
ty that Gibson and Christy have ac-
customed u* to expect.
“Wilhelm Heinrich Funk" by Chas.
DeKay. is the story "of a career of
; hard endeavor by which a poor Ger-
man bookbinder became the leading
! fashionable portrait painter of New-
York." The life story of this latter-
day artist reeds like that of a painter
of the long-ago. early poverty temper-
। ed by enthusiasm possessing which
that same poverty loses half its sting.
I 'Slow rises merit by poverty oppress-
ed.” does not always apply.
The picture of Mrs. James Brown-
| Potter is certainly unattractive also
the one of Mrs. Ernest Wiltsee. but n
"fashionable |<ortmlt painter.” I sup-
I pose must make some concessions to
I the whims of his patrons. The man’*
portrait baa Indeed a claim to the
touch of distinction without which a
portrait cesses to have value except
to one who admires the individual
I portrajed. or cares for the purely
| technical part of the picture. We
sometimes see a portrait which as far
' a* technlq'H goes is a noorly painted
picture of an unbeautlfnl individual
but it has an air of distinction a cer-
-1 tain "aplomb" which one cannot ig-
। nore.
C. H Forbes-Lindsay asks "What
I shall we do with our presidents?"
This question has been asked often
before and with as little satisfactory
reply. However It generally seems to
fill ont a readable article whenever It
is newly written up and no harm Is
done. It seems to that the ques-
tion is superauuua and un-
necessary. If a man has It in him to
rise to the high office of president
there is nothing that bo is worthy of
or that is worthy of him out of his
reach.
There Is no dignity or title in our
country which could be given to an
ex president that It would be beneath
bis dignity to try for. in the legiti-
mate way. If the people should amend
our constitution and create an office
for ex-presMeuts they would be tacit-
ly going back to the old creed which
we elaim to have outgrown and to be
rid of which th< little band of men
came to the "stern and rock bound
coast.” "Ah nobllin (aristocracy) was
in the beginning"—so Emerson tells
u*—"some one's natural superiority."
in the old. old days a man would head
a band of other men and repel an in-
vasion from afar and then he was
made an overlord and given lands ti-
tles and certain immunities from the
common duties of the plain people.
Then he was a nobleman and his chil-
dren and childrens children held
their hcasd higher than their neigh-
bors. And as physical courage and a
commanding personality are not rare
in a hardy race this thine happened
again and yet again. And presently
that country had a powerful nobility.
The very foundations of our govern-
ment are laid in democracy and when
we begin to shape the superstructure
of what our forefathers builded. it is
well to have a care how far wo go.

"Ships TFat Are Passing." by Jas.
G. McCurdy tells ua of the American
square-rigged carriers that arc fast
disappearing from the ocean "In IS»4
some six hundred and thirty-three
squarrtrigg-’r* were fl) ing 'Old Glory'
and doing fairly well. Today less than
two hundred and nfnetv remain and
this number is diminishing rapidly
through wreck condemnation and dis-
mantling. For two years there has not
been a square-rieger built In the Unit
ed States nor have our shipbuilders
a single ordet on their books."
it seems a shame that anything so
beautiful should pass away. Few of
man's material creations have appeal-
ed to (he imagination in the measure
of (he "tall ships" that have borne
him 'cross wide seas to far unknown
lands. Noisy sooty tugs busy steam-
ers and the thrifty schooner may bet

ered as they lay afloat.”
