bis fears were allayed by a reply that It
was not bis brother.
Within avery few weeks the armored
cruiser Brooklyn, sister ship to the New
York, and, In many respects, an Improve
ment upon that superb essel, will
be launched from tbe ways in Cramps'
shipyard, where, for more than two years,
bo has been building. No date has yet
b-'en fixed for tbe event, and none has
b"en definitely thought of, but within a
short tlnio the Navy Department will be
communicated with and a day fixed. No
tice will be given at least two weeks be
fore the launch.
TbcNew York is regarded by many naval
officers as the finest warship afloat, and
tho marine performances of her Improved
type, the Brooklyn, will be watched with
tb greatest interest. Already launching
ways hae been placed under her, and, at
the latest, the middle of September will
see the proud vessel afloat.
Tho Brooklyn is designed to have a speed
of-al least twenty knots an hour, at a dis
placement of 8,150 .tons, and her four
triple expansion engines are to work In
pairs on twin screws. Tbe contract price
is ?2,'Jt'0,000, and the time limit for com
pletion February 11,1800.
THE BROOKLYN'S DIMENSIONS.
In length she is 460 feet 6 Inches, her
bain measures 64 feet 8 inches and the
moulded depth is 41 feet 3 inches. At 24
feet ruean draught her displacement is
0,150 tons. Tin dimensions and the
arrangements of the working part of the
machinery are similar to those of the New
York.
The battery is to coi list of eight 8-inch
guns, mounted in four turrets, two on tho
middle line forward and aft, and tw o amid
ships sponroned on the sides; ten 6-inch
guns mounted in f poneona on the gun deck
fcinular to the 4-inch guns mounts of the
New York ai.d sixteen 6-pounder rapid
fire and machine guns. Her protection
is a nickcl-ttcel deck, of six lr.cm thick
ness on tne nope nru three mines ou the
flat, a water lire belt of three-inch plates,
liacked by a double streak of hull plating.
extending overtfce whole of the machinery
space. Barbettes ten inches thick will
protect her S-inch guns, inclosing the bates
of ret olving turrets, fix ii.cbes in thlckncrs.
Tbe sponfons for her 0-lnch gun are four
Inches thick and tho;c for the twelve rapid
fire guns are two inches thick.
The Brookljn is twenty feet longer than
tbe New York, and this additional length
makes room for a forecastle deck. Amid
ships the "tumble-home," that is the In
ward slope of the vescel"8 sides, greatly
facilitates the construction and support
of the turrets and barbettes for her four
8-lncli guns at Ihe broadsides, befides giv
ing tbciu larger range.
HER HIGH FUNNELS.
A peculiarity of the Brooklyn is the great
height of her runnels, their tops being 100
feet above the lower grate bars. Her mil
itary masts are a!x larger than those ot
the New York;-ihe foremast extending up
to the firsf-rightlng top, the full size of
the conning tower. Tiie increased height
of the funnel is mainly to obtain the benefits
of Torccd draught without air pressure
in the fire-rooms.
One of the distinguishing characteristics
of the Brookljn Is the enormous berthing
siuce for the crew, there being accommoda
tions for 1 ,000 men, about double the num
ber of her regular complement. In time
ot war, this feature will be of great value
at d"ntant stations, enabling a considerable
re&erve force of enlisted men to be carried
for any squadron of which she may lie the
flagship.
-Her coaling capacity is Just 1,700 tons,
Just 170 nioro than that of the New York.
Two hoisting engines, each capable of
lifting 1,000 pounds at the rate of 300
feet a minute, will handle the coal aboard
ship.
Klro Bugs Came Near .Destroying
. Wall Lee and Ilia Sliop.
An attempt was made about 1 1:30 o'clock
Isat night by unknown fire bugs to bum the
Chinese laundry of Wan Lee, No. 401 A
street northeast. A large tin can was filled
wiih paper and other combustibles, which
were thoroughly saturated with coal oil.
A match was then applied to the con
tents of tbe can and the burning mass
dumped into the basement of the laundry.
The glare of the fire attrcted several
citizens, and Policeman Wagner,pf the
Ninth precinct, who extinguished the
blaze -with difficulty and without turning
In an alarm.
The persons who made this attempt at
incendiarism nrc supposed to be colored

The preliminary meeting of the committee
composed of a representative- from each
local labor organization was held In .The
Times building laatnevenlng to take under
consideration ihV advisability of estab
lishing a labor bureau and worklngnieu'a
library. Mr. Josep hi). Fenton was ylected
temporary cbairnun and Mr. E. J. Rea
temporary secretary
The Idea ot establishing the labor bureau
originated with Mr. W.II.O. Simmons and
bo was called on to outline the objects to
be attained by it, Mr. Simmons reviewed
at length the lienefits to be derived from
such a bureau und' stated that it would
create many opportunities for employment
and would offer great advantages both to
employer and employe.
Each trade or calling would keep a
register, where unemployed men could wrlto
their names and addresses.
The expense to be Incurred in establish
ing such an institution was carefully Vou
stdercd. Several methods for raising funds
were discussed, but tho one generally
favored was that of giving a fair. It was
thought by the representatives present that
they could get liberal assistance from the
business-men of the city, for, while tlicy
hnd been asked by numerous secret so
cieties to assist them in time of need,
they had never been appealed to by organ
ized labor. The local merchants have al
ways been very llbtral In patronizing any
thing for the good or.lhe city, ami It is con
fidently believed that this appeal will
not be made In vain.
Tbe scheme of establishing the Institution
was freely discussed, following which a
committee to ascertain the cost or obtaining
a hall Tor headquarters, a committee to
procure the ncccsary books, and a commit
tee to gather Mntistics were appointed.
After Mime discussion on the apponltment
ot a f.ilr lommlltce, it was detklcd to let
that matter go over until the next meeing,
which will be held In The Times building
next Monday.
The members of the conduces appointed
were requested to lay the milter before the
respective unions, and the temporary sec
retary was directed to notify each local
labor organization, and urge upon It the
necessity of attending the lcxi meeting of
their appointed delegates. The meeting
then adjourned.

Skilful Artists at Inernxtlng Ebony
Wltb Mother ot Ienrl.
Hanoi, a city of French Tonquio, says
a writer in the Journal des Voyages, has
a flourishing Industry In the Incrustation
of precious woods with mother of pearl.
Tbe industry is so important that a whole
street, called the street of the Inlayt-rs,
is given up to it, and constitutes tbe sole
curiosity of the city. Strangers tu the
art pass hours In watching tbe native work
men. Tbe latter are genuine artists, mas
ters of a delicate handicraft demanding
at once artistic perception and high man
ual skill. Furnished with rude tools, but
with much patience and skill, these work
men produce, articles of great beauty.
gleaming with rainbow hues. Here is a
sheaf of many-colored flowers, there are
delicious arabesques, yonder is a land
scape glltterlnglntbesun.
The workmen have applied the principle
of tbe division or labor to their art. There
aretbceablnctmakers.whoputtogcthertbe
different parts of the material to be in-;
crusted. The process of Joining is done
without the aid or nails, and with a system
or nice dovetailing and the use of a patte of
wblca lacquer is the Lore. The wood em
ployed isoflwodistinctsnecicsof palisander,
sometimes called violet ebony, and by the
native tlac, and a true ebony from the forest
of the Red River of To!iquin.-Thl3 latter,
which the natives call nioun, is crpedally
valued by reason of Its close grain and itr
deep black, which brings out the chitting
glories of the mother of pcari. Objects of
incrustcd ebony axe more costly than those
of violet ebony.
When the cabinetmaker has prepared
the wood it passes into tbe bands of the de
signer, who makes sketches of thcornamen
tatlon upon rice paper. These designs are
transferred to the wood by theinlayer, whose
duty It is to choose the pearl that will
best serve to bring out tbe beauty otthede
sign. The mother of pearl is obtained froma
species of large sbellflsh called casque,
chiefly caught upon the shores of the island
of Poulo-Condar. The inlay er cuts tbe
mother of pearl into bits four or rive ccntl
metersiuiliametcr.and chooses thecombi na
tion or colors that shall yield the contrasts
necessary for tbe artistic success of his
work. His art lies in the skill to arrange
the pieces so as to obtain the best effect
of Iridescence. This he heightens by the
use of a eorj.of pearl dust furnished by a
kind ot great mussel tajuw from tbe
brooks ot tbe region. The play of light uiwn
these mussels gives the wholegamut of the
rainbow.
Tbe bits of pearl chosen, tbe inlayer
strives to give them the form of the desigi.
and to disKsc of them as a veritable mosaic
in the wood! Thecrude morsii is rendered
translucent with pumice stone. It Is thin
fixed in a vise, and tbe lnlaycr's labor of
patience begins. Crouching ujon his heels
before tbe vise, he thapes the piece with a
file smaller than an ordinary colored crayon
Tiie pearl fashioned, it is i ecewary to trench
the wood to receive it. This is ordinarily
done by children fourteen orrifteen years
old. They rollow the lines or the design
with a burlrtg and channel tiny trenches of
a'nulimeter in diameter. Tbe bits of pearl
arc tben set I n the grooves and fixed with a
lacquer paste The whole Is gently heated
to melt the paste, and so rill all interstices.
The iulaycryheu polishes his work, var
nishes it, and gives it finishing touches
with theburln. The work is so beautiful
and so costly that it is much counterfeited
by cheaper methods, though never with
entire success.

drew a notebook from bis pocket, wrote a
few lines, laid the book on the cushion and
started for the dour. When he reached
the platform he could be seen standing on
tbe top step looking out into the darkness.
The little woman was certainly very
mcub wrought up, for she thoughta tragedy
was about to be enacted. She roseand hur
ried along to a seat occupied by two gen
tlemen and breathlessly told them to "hurry
out on tbe platform and catch that man!
He's going to Jump off tbe train and com
mit suicide."
Not waiting to bear explanations, thegen
tlcmen ran to the door, and one of them
caught the suspicious stranger by the coat
tails and hauled him back into thecoach.
It took, ten minutes to explain matters.
and half of that time everybody thought
there was sure to be a fight.
The stranger was a commercial traveler.
The letter he had read with so much care
was one containing some particular in

some memoranda, in his note book and

Nothing Hut Clmiiiagi"'ln tbe New
Mexico Log Mansion.
Stephen W. Dorsey is no longer numbered
among tbe picturesque characters of New
Mexico. Thelog mansion, with its beautiful
hardwood finis! and elegant appointments
looking out from the edge or,a high mesa
over fifty mllesof plain and mountain range,
with fountain playing on thelawnvnolonger
knows the presence ot the man whodesigned
It and dispensed lavish hospitality which
New Mexican taste could not appreciate.
Through the mutations of a cattle company
ex-Senator Dorsey has transferred his resi
dence to Denver. ' ' "
The hospitality which Dorsey dispensed at
the log mansion on the me-a h still the mar
vel of New Mexico.
"I rcmeml)cr,, said a Territory official
to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat corres
pondent, "that one time-when-court-was
In session at South Las Vegas, Senator
Dorsey invited us out to his place to stay
over Sunday. Naturally, we all accepted,
and In tbe party was Judge Vincent, whom
President Cleveland summarily.and.os we
all thought, unjustly, removed for appoint
ing Dorsey one of the jury commissioners
of tbe county. We had beard much of
Dorsey's borne and hospitality, aud looked
forward to tbe visit wltb a great deal of
interest. It was a twenty-mile drive. When
we got to tbe place we found that its
attraction bad not been exaggerated. The
logs of which the bouse was built wero
dressed outside. Tbe interior was bard
wood and polished. Senator Dorsey bad
prped water from a largo spring high up
in the mountain. He bad water all over his
bouse, and the pressure was sufficient to
keep a large .fountain playing continually
in front ot tbe big porch.
"The Senator received us In the dining
room. I will never forget that banquet.
There wasn't a drop of whisky on theplacc.
Not a glass of beer was tobehad. Butcham
pagno of the costliest brand was. pressed
upon us. Champagne was g6od.cnq.ugb for
Washington, but it wasn'ttheThjhtthing
for a New Mexican crowd, and one after
tho other ot us slipped away rrom the table
and got out or doors. I can remember to this
day how thirsty we were, and how we
longed for a little something to which our
stomaclis were accustomed. And aU the
time fresh bottles of champagne were com
ing on the table to mock us. The Senator
was prodigal. He wouldn't let the bottles
stay to bo emptied. A single glass, perhaps,
would be poured out. In a few moments
tbe Senator would wave the opened bottles
away and order fresh, saying the wine
was flat. I wouldn't pretend to say how
many bottles came on that night. As soon
as we could we got out of doora,all of "us
but one ot our party , and tbe Senator. They
remained at tbe table , engaged in a political
argument. The Senator was suave. His
opponent was-emphatic. I slipped back
to the door" and-' listened.
" 'Now. let us ''consider this question
camly, I would hear the Senator say.
And then he would add, 'by the way, my
friend, your wine is flat. Waiter, here,
bring us a rresh bottle.
"And bo it went on until our representa
tive suddenly lurched and slid orr his chair
literally under the table.. He didn't arise.
I saw Dorsey look steadily toward the va
cant chair and heard him say to himself:
" 'Where Is my adversary? He seems to
have fallen early in the combat."
"I went into the room, and suggesting to
the Senator that It was more comfortable.
In the parlor, gave him my arm. Then I
got help and two or us pulled our com
padre, who had remalued with the cham
pagne, rrom among the tablo legs and
put hlra to bed. We never again accepted
Senator Dorsey's hospitality. One recol
lection or that ocean or champagne and no)
a drop to drink satisfied ns."
Cburcliesnud Sunday New spapers.
Put-as much brains into the pulpit as there
is in the Sunday newspaper, and the average
man and woman will have a desire to enjoy
both. The Sunday newspaper Is a time
honored institution and cannot be put down
In this age of progress and enlightenment
by simple denunciation. In many a borne
where live, piety and purity rules it Is a
welcome visitor and the church no loser by
its presence. Moreover, it is a mistake to
suppose that there is a wanton desecration
of the Sabbath In getting out the Sunday
newspaper. The wort on It Is mainly done
on Saturday, the violation of tho Sabbath
lying principally in the sale. But baked
beans and brown bread are sold on Sunday
