Modern Electric Elevntora W'lll Knn Thronah the “Elnht'Stories.” A “Subway” in the Hold Ail That Is Now Needed. New York, Nov. 26.—1f same inven tive genius would but build a subway bo fit in tbe hold of a big transatlan tic steamship, passengers could then go to sea with the assurance that they would find every convenience offered in the most advanced cities. With the growth of ocean travel steamship owners have found it neces sary to build their vessels more and more on the plan of modern hotels. It has been left t<s the Hamburg- Americ&n Liine to work out the princi ple of passenger elevators, an idea which has presented itself to steamship builders time and again, but which has been abandoned so often as un praotlcable. The vessels In which the newly developed idea is to be found, will be the America, now building at the Vulcan Works. Stettin, and the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, building at The sickest man is not al ways in bed. The meanest kind of sickness is just to be able to attend to duties and yet not feel equal to the task. The eternal grind keeps many in the traces who ought to be in bed. A thorough course of John son’s Chill and Fever Tonic would give anew lease on life to such people.

The former ship will be ready for serv ice In August, 1905, and the latter in 1906. Everything for .Speed. In former plans for “ships” the sug gestion was omitted, because, it wan argued, the length of the ship would not allow of it. By this was meant that to make speed, which some lines thought was far more necessary to modern ship than stability, vessels were so built that they did not take kindly to rough seas; that with a roll ing sea a vessel’s level was constantly being changed, making it impossible to work an elevator with safety. The time has now come, however, when steamship companies realize that the old idea that speed is the essential point Is wrong. The desire of the steamship companies to build slower ships is even greater than the desire of people to travel on them. Fast ships mean much coal. In one of the big greyhounds the engine space is so great that no room is allowed for cargo. Eight-Deck Ships. In the two new ships of the Ham burg-American line there will be eight decks, five of which will be occupied by first cabin passengers. This means that a passenger who is quartered on the fifth deck below the sky In order to reach the sun deck will have to mount a distance greater than the hight of a five-story building. The contract for supplying the ele [vators and the accompanying ma chinery has not yet been awarded, but rumor has it that as likely as not an American firm will get it. In Ger many it has been noted that Ameri can designs of elevators are quite popular, and It may be that they will their place on board the foreign ships with other American inventions. They will, however, be electric lifts, and will be controlled by dynamos, the power for which will originate at the SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY.

The shaft through which the cars will run will be located beside the grand stairway amidships. The decks to be reached by the lift will be at the boat deck, the promenade deck, the upper deck, the main deck and the lower deck. On the boat deck the door to the shaft will open on to a rathskellar. On the deck below the promenade deck it will find the music rooms very handy. The entrance on the upper deck will be in a corridor running both athwart ship and fore and aft, and very con venient to the many staterooms on this deck. The main deck, the next below, will contain the grand dining saloon, adjoining which the shaft will run. On the lower deck, at which the shaft will end. the entrance will be from the grill room. In fact, the ship will be so arranged with reference to the elevator that one tnay pass from his stateroom to any other part of the ship t much as he would from floor to floor in a hotel. —Archer M.

When the Ships Now Bnilding Are Completed the American Navy Will Be the Third I.argest In the World—llow a Bnltleitlilp Eat* Up Money—.’l4.ooo Blue Jacket* Now Required to Man the Battleship*. The Demand for More Officer*. Washington, Nov. 26. —With Secre tary Morton asking Congress to give the navy $114,530,638.34 for its expenses in the fiscal year begining July 1, 1905, it Is apparent that the fleet that costs $100,000,000 a year has come to stay. This vast expenditure means that the policy of naval expansion will go on until the American navy Is second only to that of England in size, and will remain, as now. second to none in ship t(f ship efficiency. When all the American warships now building are completed the navy will be the third largest in the world. England and France will be first and second. Began Year* Ago to Ilnlld Cp Navy. The sentiment which caused the up building of the pavy was awakened twenty years ago, when naval ex penditures were small. Only $14,819,- 976.80 was appropriated by Congress in 1883. The cost gradually increased un til 1898, when, with the Spanish-Amer ican War. in sight, it aggregated $33,- 003,234.19. The expenditures in 1899 jumped to $56,098,783, and since then by leaps and bounds they have increased as ship after ship has been added to. the list. The navy by Jan. 1, 1906, upon which the brunt of service will fall in event of war will be: Batteships, 13; armor ed cruisers, 8; protected cruisers, 21; torpedo boat destroyers, 16; torpedo boats, 35. Not all of these ships are now in commission. The most nota ble additions will be the armored cruis ers Colorado, Pennsylvania, West Vir ginia and South Dakota. No armored cruisers have been added to the fleet since the Brooklyn and the New York were put in commission, more than ten years ago. A Battleship’s F*lr*t Cost. When a battleship is paid for it has only begun to eat up money. New ships mean more men, more officers and larger naval stations where the ships may be dry docked and repaired. There must be a larger clerioal force in the Navy Department. The purchase of supplies must increase. A battle ship has an insatiable maw for coal. Fuel must be carried miles across the seas in great colliers, if it cannot be had in plentiful supply attd satisfac tory quality abroad. Congress has usually been generous in authorizing new battleships and has readily increased the number of blue jackets to man them. The enlisted personnel in 1885 was 8,250; in 1898, 13,- 750; in 1899, 20,000; in 1901, 25,050; in 1903, 41.000, and in 1904, 34.000. Provisions for more officers was made two years ago by doubling the repre sentation of the country at large in the Naval Academy. Twice as many midshipmen will now study there and be graduated to receive commissions. All this costs more money. The estab-; lishment of large and well equipped naval stations at Guantanamo. Cuba, and at Olongapo, P. 1., also swells the financial requirements of the service. THE GRAND DUKE OF HESSE. Darmstadt, Germany, Nov. 25.—The betrothal ia officially announced of the Grand Duke of Hesse, who was di vorced from his cousin.

Washington, Nov. 26.—The officials of the office of the second assistant postmaster general have received * a vindication in the matter of award of railway mail contracts. No illegal col lusion has been found between any government official and the railway managers, but that aq, a result of this inquiry, to effect changes in the meth od of awarding these contracts. There is a well grounded opinion among" ad ministration officials investigating the question that the system of competi tive bids should be introduced so far as possible. President Roosevelt and Postmaster General Wynne now 'believe that the Postoffloe Department is fairly clear of dishonest practices, and that the way is open for administrative reforms. The offices of the first, second and third assistants have all been investi gated. There remains the fourth as sistant's office, against which there have been no charges, but .which will be investigated If Mr. Wynne carries out his Intention of transferring to his own office the force of postoffice In spectors. The Investigation of the second as sistant’s office, so far as it has to do with the transportation of malls, has been going on In secret for several months and was ordered by the Presi dent before Postmaster General Payne's death. When Mr. Robb, who was assistant attorney general for the Postofflce De partment before the postofflce scandal Investigation of last year, was trans ferred to the Department of Justice. The Inquiry Into railway mall con tracts went with him to that depart ment. He and other official! of the Attorney General’s office have about completed their work. It is delsj#d by officials connected with the Investigation that If thert Is sver any real suenlclon that there Is collusion in tha second assistant's of fice, In the matter of these contracts, It Is entirely without foundation Sec ond Assistant Postmaster General ■hallenbeigsr and his assistanta are declared to have performed their du ties In this respect honestly and con st lemiouef Foye & Eckstein Great Trade Stimulators.

They may se lect their guests from society, general ly. The guest list will, as usual, be sent to the President and Mrs. Roose velt for approval. The matter of precedence of cabinet dinners will be cast to the winds. Here tofore the Secretary of the Treasury would not give his dinner for the Pres ident and Mrs. Roosevelt until after that of the Secretary of Btate had been held and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor was always the last to en tertain the President. Hereafter these dinners will be held In such order as best suits the convenience of all mem bers of the cabinet. The old custom of limiting Invitations to the cabinet circle brought the Pres ident face to face with nine dinner parties with the same people each sea son. To fill up vacancies the list was made to Include a few persons outside the cabinet circle, but this was not sufficient to give much variety. AT THE THRESHOLD OF A NEW INDUSTRIAL ERA.

The call to the members of the Exe cutive Committee says the country Is at the threshold of anew era of In dustrial activity. It deplores the "or ganizations of caplt'al, whose aim Is to ‘smash the unions.’ ” Of socialism it says: "Another foe simultaneously assails labor. That foe Is socialism. Although socialism is the avowed foe of caplt’al, It regards as an aid to its cause the radical type of employers’ organizations, because of their common hatred of unionism. Before socialism cun deliver its ‘assault upon all capital It must remove from Its way the self-improving organiza tion of the wage earners." NEW YORK PAID HIGH FOR THANKSGIVING TURKEYS. New York.
