Inventor Holland's announcement that his sub-marine boa I has been per? fected and Is ready for a tost by the government authorities will be receiv? ed with interest by naval experts or every nation. Whether or not tin- idea Is practical and may be applied to mod? ern warfare time and a fair trial alone can tell. It is quit.- evident I lint the inventor has infinite confidence m bis invention. Otherwise, he would scarce? ly have spent a fortune ami many years of arduous labor in an effort to perfect his sub-marine boat. No one can doubt tin- usefulness of such a contrivance, even if it performs only one half of the wonders claimed by the inventor. As a destructive agency its power would be almost in? calculable. The Holland boat should be given a i fair and impartial trial. If it is found to be worthless the government is un? der no obligations to take the boat. If It is found practicable it should be I purchased and the inventor well paid I for his years of labor. The nonsensical prejudices of naval officials who have predicted that the I boat would not work should not bs allowed to influence the action of the department. Nothing can be lost and I much can be gained by treating Mr. Holland with courtesy, at least. Those persons who are continually worrying about the whereabouts of th more or less esteemed Hon. Marcus Aurelius Hanna might as well hold up on their anxiety. Experience should convince them that when Hanna is quietest he is most surely and securely getting in his finest work. A fellow who shot off his thumb to escape going to war has turned up. The usual number continue to morelv shoot off their mouths.?Philadelphia Times. Well, since it is an entirely harmless practice and is quite an enjoyable one to some persons, we trust thai our es teemed contemporary will not object. The New York Herald tells us that Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt paused long enough In the impetuous charge of the Rough Riders to thank Mr. Richard Harding Davis for advice ten? dered by that gentleman during Ihe heat of the battle. We wer,- alwayj under the Impression that Teddy was a polite young gentleman. The Hon. ex-Paramount ?lount Bhows a remarkable amount of intel? ligence by refusing to be buncoed into the belief that be is not dead, ills distinguished chief might wisely fol? low his exampie. An esteemed contemporary has the following over its war story: "Press? ing Santiago In Three Calumns." Some of the papers, however, seem Inclined to give it a page or two. No doubt the commander of the Ter ror Is willing to admit that Captain Slgsbee's big ship isn't so much ot an easy mark, after all. WOMEN AT PECULIAR WORK. Chicago'* Woman Cooper und New \ urk'R l*hoitoKrii|ili Sinner. Chicago has a woman cooper. Her name Is Margaret Buggee. and by mak? ing barrels she lias m?de a barrel of mone?. in a few years Mrs. Buggee has c!;-{9vd $50.000. She, not only su? perintends the making of barrels in her shops, which arc in a crowded part Of the southwestern end of the city, but is practically experienced in this branch of business. She thinks noth? ing of pointing out to half a hundred able-bodied nn?n their .-:!::> of omission or commission in perfecting a big hogshead, and when liicy can't seem to grasp what is wrong with their work she picks up the necessary tools and shows theni. The following sign is conspicuously posted over the entrance to her cooperage: "This place is for business keep out." Perhaps that is the keynote to her success. Miss Ustelln Louise Mann earns a good living by singing into 111<- rever? berating hollow tubes of a phonograph. Hers is one of the few feminine- voices which have ever made a successful record for the phonograph or grapho phone. Her voice is powerful and her enunciation tlistiticl and clear or she could not have remained in the busi? ness. To sing without an audience is not very inspiring, but .Miss Mann says she knows In reality that the world is her audience, so when she tiikes her stand before her phonograph every morning she simply imagines that she has tho world at her feet, and that helps her to expend her best ef? fort. She is a daughter or 12. II. Mann, Assistant Superintendent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, and a graduate of the Cin? cinnati Musical College. Her songs from her "records" can be heard from twenty to forty feet from any good sized phonograph. Miss M. Louise Ciimorc, a clerk In charge of the women's delivery depart? ment of the Chicago Post Office, Is said to have served the Government for a longer period than any other woman iu the history of this country. Site was appointed In October, ISO", by Gen. Frank Sherman, who succeeded hor brother, Col. Robert A. Gilmore, as Postmaster. During tho thirty years of her service in the same ca? pacity, except for a period of three months, her term has beou unbroken, and this absence was tint result of a serious accident. Otherwise she has not. lost a day from illness or any other cause since her appointment. You may carry your own thermome? ter now, and it will only cost you 25 cunts to buy the portable kind. They arc round, about as large as a quarter, and have a stick pin at the back, with which to fasten them. The little glass tube containing the mercury is coiled like a serpeut with the ball in tho centre. This is a great scheme for the feminine cyclist. With a lit? tle scientific calculation she will be able to determine at what degree of heat her face gels an unbecoming red, and then she lias only lo watch her thermometer to see when thai degree has been reached, when she can dis? mount and cooi NE W ADVE I tTISEM ENTS.
