from the side belt to the upper deck, and
Is worked from the center of the forward
to the center of the after barbette. At
the ends of this casemate armor-diag
onal armor nine Inches thick extends from
the sides of the vessels to the barbette
armor.
In the casemate thus formed are
placed ten of the 6-inch guns. Above this,
on the upper deck, four of the 6-inch
guns are placed, In the vicinity of which
6-inch armor is worked far enough for
ward and aft to afTord protection to the
crews of these guns.
Protection is afforded the vitals of the
snip be<low the water line by a protective
deck worked flat within the casemate,
and with slopes forward and aft of it. The
deck is worked in two thicknesses of plat
ing, the total thickness on the flat being
2\ inches, while that on the slopes for
ward and aft is respectively 3 inches and
4 inches. Cofferdams are built on the pro
tective deck from the diagonal armor
bulkheads to the bow and stern in the
vicinity of the water line, and on the
berth deck for nearly the length of the
vessel. All of these cofferdams are filled
with corn pith cellulose.
The main battery of the ship consists
of four 12-inch breech-loading rifles,
placed in two balanced turrets, and six
teen 6-inch rapid-firing guns.
The turrets are turned by electricity,
and the motors used for this purpose oan
revolve one of these great turrets
through 360 degrees in one minute. The
armor of both the turrets and barbetts
is 12 inches thick.
Ten of the 6-inch guns are within the
casemate as before stated, two others
are on the berth deck forward in 6-inc'o
armored sponsons, and four are on the
upper deck. Those in the sponsons for
ward and two on the upper deck can Are
directly ahead, and the other two on the
upper deck directly astern, in addition
to having a broad-side fire.
The secondary battery consists of six
three-inch rapid-firing guns; eight six
pounder rapid-firing guns; six one-pound
er rapid-firing guns; two Colts and two
three-inch rapid-firing field guns.
Snhmergcd Torpedo Tabes.
Anew feature Introduced In the offen
sive power of this ship is the submerged
torpedo tube. While submerged torpedo
tubes are not new abroad, German war
ships having been equipped with them
for a number of years, the Ohio and her
class are the first battleships of our
navy to be supplied with them, though
prior to her construction many vessels of
the United States navy were fitted with
torpedo tubes above the water line. The
Ohio will have two of these tubes, one
on each side of the vessel, situated about
fifty feet from the how and about ten
fpet six Inches below the water line.
The magazines and shell rooms of the
ship can stow 240 rounds of the twelve
inch ammunition; 3,200 rounds of the six
inch ammunition; 9.6(0 rounds of the six
pounder, and 4.000 rounds of the one
pounder. The forward magazines are lo
cated immediately forward of the dynamo
rooms, and the after ones Just abaft the
engine rooms.
There are two military masts fitted
with the usual signal yards, tops and
topmasts; two tops are built to each of
these masts. The foremost is located in
the usual way over the forward conning
tower; the foundation of the tower form
ing the lower part of the mast. The ar
mor of the forward conning tower Is ten
Inches thick, and that of the after or
signal tower is six inches thick. A steel
tube twelve inches in diameter inside and
seven inches in thickness extends from
the forward conning tower down to the
protected deck and protects the voice
tubes and telegraphs from the command
ing officer to the important stations in
the vessel.
The Ohio carries fourteen boats, of
which one is a forty-foot steam cutter
and another a thirty-six-foot steam cut
ter of the usual navy type. Over each
end of five boat deck two small upper
bridges are located, on which Is placed
a portion of the secondary battery. The
boats are handled by four cranes, all op
erated by steam; the engines for this
purpose being located on the working
platforms of the cranes. Each crane can
lift the heaviest boat that it has to han
dle at the rate of forty feet per minute,
and can also be revolved by its hoisting
engine at the rate of a revolution in one
minute.
Fitted With Bilge Keels.
Bilge keels to reduce rolling are fitted
to the vessel. Experiments In recent
years in our own and foreign navies hav
ing demonstrated the great efficiency of
these keels in preventing excessive roll
ing The forward bilge keels attend for
a length of about 87 feet, while those aft
have a length of about 75 feet.
Hydrrfullc gear is used in steering the
vessel, and can put the rudder from hard
aport to hard astarhoard in twenty sec
onds when the vessel is moving at full
speed. The valves of the gear are con
nected by an electric telemotor with the
conning tower, beside the mechanical con
nection with the pilot house.
The electricity, tooth for lighting the
vessel and operating the turrets and
hoists and minor purposes is furnished
by eight 32-kllowatt generating sets, all
having a pressure of eighty volts at the
temjlnals.
There are four dynamo rooms, one on
each side of the vessel Just forward of
•he boiler space, the generating sets be
ing placed In each dynamo room. Four
powerful search lights, two of which ere
Placed c-n the top of the pilot house and
two on the mainmast above the upper
bridge, will give warning of the approach
of hostile vessels, and for night signalling
the ship carries two sets of electric sig
nalling apparatus.
The normal coal supply Is 1,000 tons,
and the capacity of the bunkers Is 2,000
tons. As In other ships of this type, the
arrangement of the bunkers Is such os to
afford considerable incidental protection
to the machinery.
The Ohio and her class are the first bat
tleships of the United States navy in
which water tube boilers were provided,
fleam for the propelling machinery Is
supplied by water tube boilers of the
Thornycroft type placed in four water
tight compartments. There are three
smoke pipes.
The two propelling engines are rights
and lefts In separate water tight com
partments, and are of the vertical Inverted
cylinder, direct-acting, triple-expansion
type, having four cylinders. The diamet
ers of the cylinders are as follows: Thir
ty-five 5 inches h. p., 63 Inches h. p., and
63 inches for two low pressures by 48
Inches stroke.
Nest to the Georgia In Speed.
The collective inner horse power of the
main engines with their air and circulat
ing Is about 16,009 when the vessel Is mak
*n K a speed of eighteen knots. It
should be stated here that the
Uhlo ranks next to the Georgia class of
battleships In our navy In regard to
speed. The Georgia and class, which will
have the greatest speed of any battleship
yet authorized by Congress, are deslgncl
to make 19 knots.
A refrigerating room on the berth deck
forward furnishes cold storage and the
ship Is supplied with an Ice machine of
the dense air type that can produce the
Gaoling effect of two tons of Ice per day.
Only such wood material as was deem
ed absolutely necessary la used in the
construction of the vessel, and all of this
except the armor backing la thoroughly
fire-proof.
The wlndlaaa, which la of the most
modern pattern, Is operated by ateam and
can raise both the bower anchor# at once.
It la houaed In an enclosure Just forward
of the forward barbette.
There are four steam winches used for
hoisting coal and general deck ourpoaia.

THE STAR OF EMPIRE.
Poem Read Yesterday at theLnanch
iu* of tlie Ohio.
The following poem was read at the
launching of the battleship by Mrs. Ida
Eckert I-awrence:
Oh, Star of empire thou that went before
The pilgrim, in the misty days of yore.
When glad, the Son of Progress left the
throne,
To pioneer Hesperian shores alone—
We owe to thee, with every passing hour,
Anew world life and liberty and power.
With bosom bare, and limbs of sturdy
brawn.
The manly youth ran thro’ the early
dawn—
His busikined feet touched light the trou
bled deep.
His quest, to wake a dreaming world
from sleep.
By sandy shores, o'er Alleghany’s creat.
He paused to hear the valley's purring
rest.
Far to the West, the flood-tides cease
less measure
Broke o'er his soul in waves of living
pleasure.
11.
Through the wild primeval forest.
Crept the youth with wondrous meaning—
Blazing trees for future heroes—
Waving wands with wizard seeming.
From the wigwam, came the cabin;
Birds soon flew the rifle’s crack;
And the plying locomotive
Drove the saddened red man hack. -
'Round the camp-fire chieftains marveled
That the nature-dream was o’er;
Followed they the deer and bison,
Toward a friendly sun-down shore.
From the ashes of the cabin,
Mansions, farm® and cities grand—
Lowly kine, and high-bred people
Sprang to bless this happy land.
Spirit-of-Ohto—goddess—
Ruled this land of inspiration;
And the sun of Progress wed her—
Lo! their children lead the nation.
Proud the sire—but discontented;
Undismayed—quailed not the wrack—
With his offspring, hold, as Hector,
Drova the frontier border back.
111.
Afar, where the famed Golden Gate,
Swings low at the close of the day.
Bronzed Progress sits molding a queen;
War’s arbiter—fresh for the fray.
With furnace and smoke and fire.
With tackle and block and blow,
In steel, men clothe this bold desire.
In a fleece of flame below.
■With hands that are homey with toll,
And a patient, steady tread,
The ranks of men file in and out
To gather their harvest of bread—
With hammer and forge and flame,
With rivet and bolt and blade.
They bind her ribs to her monster frame,
'Tis a giant that man hath made.
Dark faces emboss with the glow
Of sunlight, o'er labors well done.
Men’s arms gather strength with each
blow.
And the men and the ships are as one.
They'know that the forges' red glare
Touch oft where the higher sparks lay—
With cheers on the Ups of the men.
They'll sigh when the ship heaves away.
Erect In her great wooden stall,
She yearns for her kingdom, the sea;
The Spirit-Ohio shall sever her chains,
And bid the fair captive go free;
To cut the brocade of the deep.
To walk by the feel of the land.
As love fondly lingers round sleep.
So Faith puts her seal on her hand.
Peroration.
Plunge out of thy baptismal fount,
Oh, ship of the magical name;
Rida firm o'er the wave in thy pionoer
way,
Aa men in the highway of fame—
Our men in the highway of fame.
If like a proud sea-gull, thy fate,
To ride on the billows away.
Over fathomless depths where the sea
monster’s mate,
And fight o’er the flotsam of prey—
From lost vessels, the flotsam of prey—
The guerdon that hangs round thy name
And the sons of our bountiful soil,
Shall smite thy proud turrets with ran
corous flame.
If thou dost e'er shame her with spoil—
Dost shame her with 111-gotten spoil.
Sail out on the high seas of State,
If foul blows the South wind or fair;
With home* to protect and the nation de
fend,
Our eons and our ship will be there—
Brave as Perry our ship will be there.
May the lust of the nation be lost
In life's tide, where the deep soundings
are;
Then Captain fear not, with our ensign
on high.
To follow the pale of His star—
With cannon to follow His star.
Get Mercy stride free o'er the deck.
And Dove from the bridge draw the
eword;
Then flrmiy thou'lt scourge, with thy.
thunderous Might,
The foe with the help of the Lord-
Wilt win with the help of the Lord.

Tallahassee, Fla., May 18.—The week
Just closing has been the most eventful
and far the most Interesting In the pres- j
ent session of the Legislature. The hall
of the lower house has been the stage
upon which has been fixed the attention
of all- the people of the state.
In redistricting the state so as to pro
vide for the additional congressman gain
ed by the last Federal census, the Legisla
ture was governed by four considerations;
Contiguity of territory, compactness of
territory, approximate equality In popula
tion and approximately equal division of
sea coast In each district. The first three
of these are required by the reapportion
ment act of Congress, while the last nam
ed requisite was born of a desire to secure
for all the ports along Florida's thirteen
hundred miles of sea coast as large a por
tion as possible of the appropriations for
river awd harbor Improvement.
This has resulted in dividing the state
la-to three ’•shoe-string” districts, one
formed by the long strip extending for
300 miles west of the Suwannee river,
along the North Gulf coast, another of
the western half of the peninsula and the
third of the Florida East Coast. Al
though some of the opponents of the plan
adopted fought it because they consider
ed it a division of the state in the Inter
est of the railroad corporations, especially
in the case of the new Second District,
which is formed of the counties tributary
to Mr. Flagler's East Coast Railway, It
Is thought the new division is more sat
isfactory than any other which could
have been made in a state so irregularly
shaped as Florida.
Representative Sparkman will still be
In the First District, and the new Sec
ond District will Include the home of Rep
resentative Davis. The Third, or West
Florida, District will have to find anew
man for Congress.
The Qneer Dispensary Bill.
People who are at Tallahassee watch
ing the Legislature shape Its record find
It difficult to understand and explain the
status of the proposed dispensary law.
There has been no agitation in the state
for a, dispensary system. It is safe to say
that before the Legislature met not a
dozen of its members had the slightest
idea that such a measure would be intro
duced at this session, and even these did
not seriously regard Its chance of pas
sage. During the early weeks of the ses
sion the gentlemen of the lobby, with the
dispensary bill, now pending, In their pos
session, went about the Capitol vainly
begging some member of one branch or
the other to introduce It. Finally. Repre
sentative Wall of Putnam, "the -watch
dog of the treasury,” became interested
in it both as a temperance-promoting and
revenue-producing measure. Mr. Wall
was hunting revenue for the state treas
ury, the lobby for revenue for Itself.
At first It was sneered at as a freak
bill, but when the House Temperance
Committee made a favorable report up
on it, the sneering ceased. Still, the sa
loon interests did not bat an eye, and
the lobby became desperate at the fail
ure of their effort to get saloon money
In circulation in Tallahassee. The lobby
went to work to rub Its medicine e little
more effectively into the liquor people.
The bill was printed and widely distrib
uted. The members of the House took a
strong fancy to It, and when it was taken
up on second reading for amendment and
discussion last Wednesday the effort to
kill it by indefinite postponement was
defeated by the overwhelming vote of 49
’°As it is amended. It will. It Is believed,
pass both the Senate and the House and
become law—this In spite of the fact that
no considerable portion of either the peo
ple or the press has demanded such an
enactment. The saloon interests appear
to be indifferent about the measure, and
the lobby remains unrewarded and un
donsoled.
The Knotty Convict Question.
The Legislature has again under con
sideration the complicated question as to
the future disposition of the state con
victs, but there are really no new' de
velopments in this matter. The present
lease of the convicts will expire on Dec.
31 1901. and the law, as it stands now,
gives the Board of Commissioners of
State Institutions—the Governor and his
six cabinet officers-full authority to go
ahead and enter Into contracts to lease
the cVmviets for another term of four
years, beginning Jan. 1. 1902. The storm
center of the agitation against continu
ing the lease system has recently been
In the legislative halls, and the adminis
trative officers are simply waiting to give
the Legislature the fullest opportunity to
change the law. if so desires. Many
legislators are conscientiously opposed to
the lease system, and so are a number
or the administrative officers and of the
people; but the present law provides for
the lease system, and the great difficulty
in the way of abolishing that system is
the fact that no satisfactory and practi
cable substitute has yet been submitted.
The latest and most definite solution
of ihe convict question Is proposed by
Representative Chambers of Marlon coun
ty in a bill Introduced In the House yes
terday morning. Mr. Chambers’ bill pro
vides that the Commissioner of Agricul
ture, with the approval of the Board of
Commissioners of State Institutions, may
enter Into contracts with any person or
persons for the labor, maintenance and
custody of any. or all. prisoners
sentenced to, or confined within the state
prison, In such manner os the
said board may deem most advantageous
to the Interests of the state, and tvith
due regard for the health, humane treat
ment and safe custody of the prisoners.
Such contracts may he made for a term
of years, not exceeding four, and the
prisoners shall not be worked before sun
rise or after sunset on any day. and no
labor shall be done on Sunday. Such con
tracts may provide for aurrendering the
control and custody of the prisoners to
person or persons contracting for their
labor, subject lo such supervision of the
commissioner of agriculture as Is pro
vided for by law, and for the payment to
the state by such pereon or persons of
such sums of money for the labor of euch
prisoners on such contracts as may be
deemed advantageous to the Interest of
the state, which said sum of money shall
be paid to the state treasurer In accord
ance with the terms of the contract or
contracts. In case the commissioner of
agriculture does not receive any applica
tions to pay the state for the labor of
each prisoner, then he shall enter into
such contracts, with the approval of the
board, for the payment by the state to
any person or persons of such sums of
money for taking such prisoners on such
contracts os may be deemed advantage
ous to the interests of the state. Pro
vided, no prisoners shall be contracted,
leased, let, employed or worked In any
phosphate mine or plant.

$75,000 for the improvement of the state
capitol. Messrs. Russell, Burr, Broward,

Campbell and Wall opposed Indefinite
postponement and favored passage of ap
propriation. Wilson, Gornto, Crawford,

spoke in favor of killing the bill. The bill
was filially passed 33 to 23, and es the
Senate is overwhelmingly favorable to
the measure, the appropriation Is cow
safe.
New bills introduced in the House were
to provide for erecting a governor's man

also a bill to protect employes In con
tracts for wages, and prevent abuses by
employers. The dispensary bill was reach

the opponents of a dispensary system

next Tuesday. The motions brought out
many speeches, In whic'h the merits and

MANY SICK In7aCKSONVILLE.
A Big Demand for Medicines—Labor
Wants Higher Wages.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 18.—The execu
tive committee of the Jacksonville Re
lief Association held Its usual meeting
this morning, and discussed many mat
ters of Importance which related to ihe
relief of (he fire sufferers.
Father Kenny, of the Information bu
reau, stated that he had had a census of
the burnt district taken, and that he was
now prepared to give Information regard
ing this matter. He stated that the de
mand for medicines for the sick was in
creasing every day, but that the bureau
was handling the situation satisfactorily.
Father Kenny was authorized In certain
cases to secure physicians for the sick
when the city physicians could not be lo
cated. A. W. Cockrell, Jr., slated that the
physicians of Jacksonville were doing a
noble work, and were giving their ser
vices free in many of the cases, which
was most commendable.
Father Kenny sprung a sensation by
Informing the committee that the labor
unions had issued orders to the saw mill
men that In view of the fact that the
prices on groceries had increased, they
must demand higher wages or quit work
after to-day. This matter was considered
serious, and the members present who
discussed the matter said that from all
that they could learn no Increase in
prices of groceries had been made. No
formal action was taken.
At the afternoon session it was decided
that the city laborers, employed by the
employment department of the relief as
sociation will be required, beginning Mon
day, to work ten hours a day at $1 a day
Instead of nine hours as heretofore.

PHOSPHATE HI BIBKM BETTEII.
Rrsrsnl Artlvlty lr Companies
About Brnafort.
Beaufort, 8. C., May 18.—In consequence
of the recent renewed activity In the
phosphate mining industry, the situation
from a business standpoint is greatly Im
proved. The Coosaw oCmpany tosa Just
consummated a deal by which the Vtr
glnla-Carollna Chemical Company has
taken 30,00*) tone of phosphate rock off
Its bands, and 1t Is worthy of note that
this Is the first domestic deal of any
magnitude ever m.ide by the Coosaw peo
ple, whose phosphate has heretofore been
shipped to the European market.
It Is autherttlvely stated that tha Cen
tral Phoaphate Company, near here, has
expended upwards of $210,000 in repair* to
their eteatn dredging machines, and plant
within the past few months. The dredge
W. B. MeSweeney of the Beaufort Phos
phate Company has resumed work In Coo
saw river.
The Vlrglnla-Carollna Chemical Com
pany has also made extensive and costly
improvements to MiefP big plant at Bald
win's, between here and Port Royal, one
Item of which 1s a substantial docile 600
feet long, extending to deep water, and
equipped with an elevated cable railway.
Experts declare that the phosphate beds
In Coosaw river, from which millions of
tons of the product In the aggregate have
been mined, are practically Inexhausti
ble. It has been stated that the supply
of phosphate rock In the navigable
streams of this section was nearly or
quite exhausted, and that reason has been
assigned as the cause of a suspension of
operations by the Coosaw- and Beaufort
phosphate companies, hut It now appears
that this impression was on erroneous
one, and it Is quite probable that the In
dustry that has for so many years been
the mainstay of this section, will once
again assume Its accustomed Importance.
A horr Ice Cream.
The Wesson Process Company has made
a practical test of Its cooking oil in the
manufacture of ice cream. The experi
ment was successful in every way. Those
who tasted the cream made In the labora
tory of the Wesson Process Company de
clare that It Is Just as good as pure
cream. And a great thing about It, Is
that It does not sour.
The Wesson people say that the best Ice
cream contains cream, which, besides be
ing expensive, Is often difficult to obtain
pure and sweet. The chief value of
cream depends on the butter fat it con
tains. Wesson oil being flavorless, takes
the place of the more expensive butter fat
and can be made Into a delicious cream.
Following is their recipe:
For each pint of cream desired take
yolk of ono fresh egg, tablespoonful of
sugar, half pint of water, half pint of
Wesson Cooking Oil. Dissolve the sugar
In the water and add two tablespoonfuls
of the sweetened water to yolk of egg
and beat together. Add tha oil a little
at a time, beating well after each addi
tion, till all the oil Is added. The re
sult will be a pasty emulsion to which
the water should be added in the same
manner as the oil till all Is thoroughly
mixed. The result will be a sweet, nu
tritious cream which can he used like the
common article in preparing Ice cream
according to the standard recipes. If de
sired, milk can be used In place of the
sweetened water with very pleasing re
sults. If directions are carefully carried
out no one can tell by tasting that the
Ice cream was not made from the dairy
product. Cream made in this manner is
always sweet and wholesome and free
from all danger of tyrotoxleon, the poison
which often forma In Ice cream made
from the dairy article.—ad.

“Ii Broken Don”
You hear this expression now
sit over the world. Men
and women feel as If they
are tired out. They sleejx
but do not get refreshed.
They get up tired. They work
as if they were in a dream.
They have no appetite. If
their neighbor's dog barks,
or If his rooster crows, "It's
n nulneance.” And the way
it goes.
They need Graybeard.
Graybeard Is made to cor
rect Just such irregularities
of the system. These tired
feelings come to everybody
at this season. Often times
a single bottle of Graybeard
relieves you. It makes you
eat. It makes you ttgest.
It clears up your head. It
gives you color. It iones up
your stomach. It makes you
trip through spring. It lands
you on the other side of
summer In superb, robust
perfect health.
Graybeard Is purely vege
table. It contains nether
mercury or potash. A child
can take It, and should
lake It et this season of the
year. It Is the best tonic
they can get.
Get It at all drug stores.
Now Is the time.
