boat and Its use In Mexican waters.
The contract' wns awarded about two
mouths ago to V. Zuvleh of this city
who waj to deliver the craft to the
Mexican government within five
months. The bulder decided to pa-
tronise home Institutions so be pur-
chased his material from the local
firms. The boat had cypress ribs; will
be planked on the botton and sides
with cypress three and four inches
thick; will have pine planking between
the decks snd will be finished In oak.
Tho length la 65 feet by 21 feet beam
by 12 feet depth anJ the draught will
be 2'4 feet. When completed the total
height will be 21 feet. The heavy
armament will consist of two guns one
In the bow the other In the stern.
Thcso and the small guns will be
placed aboard the boat after It bas
been delivered to the Mexican govern-

A campaign word that has done duty
In this country for more than half a
rentury Is "roorback." It means a fic-
tion concocted In one political party
In the hope of Injuring another party
and designed to be put forth so late
that there will not be sufficient time
before election day for counteracting
any Injurloua effect that It may bave.
The origin of the word was In the
name of a fictitious Ilaron Roorbach
the story of whose supposed travels
was part of the campslgn literature of
the-ytar 1844. The roorback Is not a
potent weapon' nowadays. Indeed It

When the municipality had provided
comfortable quarters for that great
mass of the poor dependent upon lodging-houses
for shelter. It was found
that there was still one class for whom
so provision had been made vli. the
mows and widowers with children
who are compelled to be absent from
home during the day and have no
tneane of assuring themselves of the
-are of their children durina- this ne-
rlod. To supply this want a "family
home" has been erected which both

itands alone in the history of modern
municipal enterprises. The "borne" Is
Ituated In the poorest section of the
Ity. and thus most conveniently nlaceit
for the class It Is Intended to reseh.
There are acrommodutlons for about
ICS small families. In addition to the
ordlnsry bed and living rooms there
are reading smoking recresllon and
timing rooms. For tho children there
are a spacious nursery snd a roof gar-
den. The nursery Is In charge of a
specially trained nurse who has sever-
si others under her direction. Hot and
