MORE GREAT BATTLESHIPS.
President Roosevelt to Name Two New
Fighters of Dreadnaught Type.
Washington, May 6. —President
Roosevelt has under consideration the
naming of the two battleships of the
Dreadnaught type for which contracts
will soon be awarded.
The ships will be given names of
states according to custom. Most of
the states have been honored already,
but there remain Delaware, Utah,
North Dakota and New York that
have no war vessels named for them.
New York is eliminated for the rea
son that there is an armored cruiser
named for the city of New York.
When Oklahoma qualifies as a state
it will give the navy department one
additional name to draw upon.
While no action wa taken Mon
day It Is thought likely that Delaware,
the second smallest state in the
Union, will be honored by having one
of the greatest battleships named for
it and that Utah will be the, other
state to be so honored.

SHORTAGE IN WHEAT CROP.
Predicted by Traders and Commission
Men of Chicago.
Chicago, May 6. —The last week on
the Chicago board of trade has seen
a revival of the activity which pre
vailed there several years ago, and
it Is predicted by the more optimis
tic traders that this will continue at
a higher level for some time to come.
The cold weather conditions which
have prevailed so continuously
throughout the west and southwest
have been the chief cause of the in
c’ ’sed volume of trade. Never in
the history of the weather bureau has
such extended and such severe weath
er existed at this time of the year.
The result has been a growing con
viction on the part of many traders
and commission men that the crop of
winter wheat has been .seriously dam
aged, and one excellent authority has
made the prediction that the crop will
be about 1,000.000 bushels below
that of last year. Conflicting reports
have been received from all sections
regarding the damage inflicted by the
’’green bug,” and from Oklahoma es
pecially have the reports been of a
contradictory character.
By some it has been asserted that
the crop has been greatly impaired,
and by others that the Injury has been
slight. The result has been, how
ever, a renewal of something like
old-time activity on the board of
trade.
Mrs. S. Joyce, 180 iSullivan St., Olar
mont, N. H., writes; “About a year
ago I bought two bottles of Foley’s
Kidney Cure. It cured me of a se
vere case of Kidney trouble of sev
eral years’ standing. It certainly is
a grand, good, medicine, and I he l.rti
dy recommend it.” Sold by M. O. Ful

Gagged the Rabbit.
A sportsman on the Huntsham es
tate, North Devon, had a rabbit
brought to him by his spaniel- which
had caught it under a hedge. The rab
bit could walk only very feebly,
though all its limbs were found to be
sound. In its mouth, however, was a
thick twig about three inches long,
which had become wedged in behind
the teeth in the rabbit’s rush from
some threatened danger. The animal
was unable to extract tbe twig with
its paws and was being gradually
starved to death when it was found by
the dog.—London Standard.

POSSE’S FATAL MISTAKE.
Officers After Desperado Kill Austrian
Count Instead.
San Francisco, May 3. —The Exam
iner says:
The supposed desperado who was
killed at Willows Monday night after
a running fight with a posse of offi
cers, has been identified as Count
Otto von Waldstein, of Austria, scion
of a noble family of history, nephew
to the cardinal, and to Prince War
temburg, one of the richest men in
Franz Joseph’s empire.
The identification was made at
Willows Thursday by Mrs. Mary
Fitzzgerald, of this city, who knew
him well, after the body of the no
bleman had been exhumed from the
potters’ field. The identification was
so complete that there can be no pos
sibility of mistake.
Count Otto died fighting, believing
he was being attacked by a band of
robbers. The posse thought it had
run down Smith, the murderer of
John Marcovich, of Oakland.
Count Otto von Walderstein left
Austria and family six years ago be
cause of a love affair. He fought
through the Boer war. He wander
ed to America, a poor young man
without profession, to work with his
hands for an existence. He followed
the reclamation service through the
west. He quit a job In Placer coun
ty the day before his death and was
walking toward San Francisco.
Chevalier Karl von Ruizz, secretary
to the Austrian consul, will take
charge of the body.

Early American Bishops.
Before the war for American inde
pendence the American Episcopalians,
who were connected with the English
church, were never suffered to have a
bishop among them, but remained un
der the jurisdiction of the bishop of
London. The rite of confirmation was
unknown, and every candidate for or
dination was obliged to travel to Eng
land. Out of fifty-two candidates who
came from America for ordination in
1707 ten died on the voyage. At length,
after the United States had been de
clared independent. Dr. Seabury was
ordained bishop of Connecticut by the
primus and bishops of Scotland, the
prelates of the English church having
refused to consecrate him. London

STATE CAPITOL SCANDAL.
Amazing Profits Made by Ring that
Built Pennsylvania's State House.
Pittsburg, Pa., May 6. —Civil and
criminal suits will be brought by At
torney General Todd against those
responsible for the state capitol scan
dal.
A complete list of those who will be
named as defendants will not be
known until the inquiry is completed.
The commission will hold no more
public sessions until after the legisla
ture adjourns, on May 16.
The suits will be based on the test
imony showing that the contractors
collected from the state for 572 ther
mostats and installed only 363, and
in substitution of domestic for Bas
carratt glass, and an inferior glass
for Tiffany Favrile.
J. H. Sanderson & Cos., general
contractors; J. M. Huston, architect
for the building commission, and H.
Shumacher, former superintendent of
grounds and buildings, are among;
those involved.
The testimony also shows that while
the more elaborate of the $2,000,000
worth of lighting fixtures was to be
rhercurial gold, the bulk of those in
stalled were merely lacquered, the
latter process costing one-tenth the
price of the former.
The reports of the experts, which
will be made to the commission be
fore the public hearings are resum
ed, will show that the measurements
of the parquetry flooring, paintings
and decorating and fittings, were fal
sified, and that the contractor’s prof
it on the $2,000,000 metallic furnish
ings was 500 per cent.
How Vandaiia Got Its Name.
Some of the names of towns are ar
rived at in a peculiar way—for exam
ple, the town of Vandaiia, in Illinois,
which was named in a singular man
ner. The man who owned the land on
which the present town of Vandaiia Is
situated was a man without a great
deal of education and wanted a lawyer
friend of his, who was a wag, to give
him a name for his new town. The
wag suggested that the Vandals were
a very noted people and that he should
name the town Vandaiia, or the “home
of the Vandals.” It was at that time
the coming metropolis of Illinois, and
subsequently the capital of that state,
and was named Vandaiia, the home of
the Vandals, according to the wit’s
suggestion.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
