1 A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Dreams of tiio Past Uecomo Real
Facta of the Present.
The Holland Torpedo Boat Ju.l
Launched at Ellzals-lh, X. J., Like
ly to tlevolntlonlM Wnrtnre—
Several \tttlon» After Her.
The Holland submarine torpedo boat
has Just been launched at the Cres
cent ship yards in Klizabeth. X. J. The
inventor of the boat, John P. Holland,
has closely watched the construction of
the vessel. The vessel was christened
"The Holland," by Mrs. Nixon, wife of
! Lieut. Lewis Mxon. the constructor.
There were few persons at the launch
ing. Inventor Holland says there will
be no attempt at submarine evolu
tions for several weeks. The construc
tion of the boat has been eaperly
watehed all over the country. The
boat is cylindrical in shape, is 50 feet
3 Inches long, with n 4-foot crew pro
tecting extension. The diameter is 10
feet 3 inches a midship, and the mold
ed diameter is the same. The boat can
travel under water eight knots an hour
for eight hours, and ten knots an hour
on the surface. The power comes from
a gasoline engine and u dynamo, the
former to be used when the boat is
sailing along the surface, and the hitter
when she is submerged. It will take
less than a minute to submerpe the
boat, and about the same length of time
for her to rise to the surface. The arma
ment consists of three torpedo tubes
which will discharge high explosives.
Six men will constitute the crew.
Mr. Holland was asked by the Cnited
States, liritish and Spanish govern
ments to allow a representative on
board during the trial trip of ihe boat,
but he refused the request. After a
trial trip he says he will allow an en
gineer from each government to see
the workings of the boat, which it is
believed will revolutionize warfare. Sev
eral foreign nations have bid for the
vessel, but it is likely th.it Mr. Holland
will sell her to the United Stales.

Just before sundown, the exact repro

of glatui In an unpretentioua dwelling
of Kankakee, 111., Is plainly visible.
How it came then- is a que .tion +oi--TV

woman Ix-ars n e.li~« res.-mblanee to

It Is thought that some time, prob

of nature hud become fr -l -i i-d, eau.e
f:rom her sleeping-room to draw the
blinds and a flash of lighliiing photo
graphed her form U|>ou the plasti.
The picture was discovered a week
ago when a young man sitting in a
nearly opposite observed w hat
he thought was the reflection on the
window pine of a woman bathing in
the house in question. Kup)Xj#iiiip that
a mirror reflected the form through the
door of an adjoining room he called U>
his sister, and, pointing out the singu
lar sight, requested her to run across
KM- street and tell the woman to pull
down the blinds. The young woman ran
across the street, rapped upon the dow
and won surprised to see the only wom
an In the house appear, fully dressed.
Itcing informed of the. figure in the
window the woman was surprised and
said no one had taken a liath that day.
An investigation followed. Sure
enough, there In the ghu>s was the fig
ure of a naked woman and it could
not be washed out. Soon it began to
\n talked alxnit by the nearest neigh

BATTLE WITH A BLACK CAT.
Philadelphia!. Iludly Scratched In a
Hlrimiilr »vlth the Hm atte Creature.
Owen W. Kiley, a night workman,
Philadelphia, I'a , on returning home
the other morning found a big black cat
lying in bed with his wife and week
old baby. How the brute came Into the
bed Is not. known. Kiley tried to get
it out of l>cd without waking bis wife,
and In making this attempt he found
t hat the woman was unconscious. Then
Kllcy grabbed the cat, which fought,
scratched and bit like a tiger. Finally
Kiley grabbed the animal by the hind
feet and battered its brains out against
the w all. Mrs. Kiley is prostrated by the
shock, and she was severely scratched.
The baby escaped injury, but Itilev was
terribly bitten and clawed and was
obliged to go to the Polyclinic hos
pital, where his wounds were cauter
ized.
Penalties* After llenth.
Posthumous punishment is to be In

queen of Corea. The two ministers who
issued the decree reducing her to tie

the king cut off his topknot were put to

th#- Russian legation at Seoul, and their
bodies were horribly mutilated. 'I lie

NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Proeident Harper's Pot t-chorne Put
Into Execution. m
Ut'ftil of Inlvf rslM xf ( liloeuo Abool
to Rf voluflor tin- I'rw* ull
llltt « lu lUc
\\ ork.
President Harper of the University
of Chicago has so.uc ideas of how a
model Sunday sciiuol should be run
and he will soon pv.t them in operation.
The field selected for the advance
ment of the new scheme will be the
Hyde Park Baptist church and lus own
university. The tii.ie set for the open
ing day is June 1, and on that day pu
pils will be received in a school which
in every way must tie regarded as mod
ern. All past traditions have been cast
aside, and the movement is regarded
by those cognizant of its provisions as
u distinct revolution in the Sunday
school world.
The new departure will replace the
International Sunday schoortweons, o.s
well as other kinds of literature used in
the present day schools. President
Harper, in conjunction with Jlishop J.
If. Vincent, of the Methodist church,
and Prof. E. D. Burton, of the Univers
ity of Chicago, has already in prepara
tion a set of text-books that will be
uneil in the two Sunday schools. They
are entirely different in every respect
from literature now in vogue in
churches, and can be compared more
favorably with those used in the public
schools.
There will be chiefs for the different
departments, and assistant chiefs and
directors and superintendents, whose
various duties are hid under titles of
pretentious proportions. President
Harper himself will be the superinten
dent and Prof. Frank W. Shepardson
will be his assistant. Prof. E. D. Bur
ton will be director of instruction, and
will look after the courses, the teachers
and the standard of excellence to be
maintained. Public exercises will be
taken care of by J. A. Itussell, and the
religious life of the school will be at
tended to by Rev. .T. I/. Jackson. The
missionary and benevolent organiza
tion has been given in charge of Dr. T.
W. Ooodspeed, and tlie libraries will
!>c seen to by Mrs. Zella A. Dixon, the
university librarian. The secretary will
be Miss Mary Mc.tdums, and the treas
urer A. 11. Parker.
The school will be divided into three
departments —the elementary, the sec
ondare and the adult. Ihe elementary
class will study stories and sayings In
the New Testament, the secondary the
Old Testament historv and the adult
classes the Old Tcsnimci t prophecies.
C. 11. Marsh will have charge of the
first department. I>. If. Mvra Reynolds
the second and Junius Peabody the
last. Other officials will be H. B. David
son, chorister; Glen M. Ilobbs, leader
of orchestra, and J. E. Raycroft, mar
shal.
At the end of every three months
regular convocations will be held, and

ever 1,300 years apo. and that the ag

the tlod whom he has reviled for s»

believes that God is already working
upon the heart of Mr. Inperaoll, prepar
inp it for the reception of the messap -
whieh he will take to hiin as eominv p

Mr. Jackson is a successful busines -

he has a payinp business, which he will
abandon to po a!>out llie duty whiob
lie claims God h: s called him to per-

Mr. Jackson is 33 years old and was

WANTS PART OF OMAHA.
George Francis Train to Reopen
an Old Claim
la the Oitffrowth of Old I'nion Pa

n Stake of 820,-
OOO.IMtO.
George Francis Train has reopene 1
his claim to the city of Omaha, and L
intends to press it to the List, says tha
New York Journal. If he wins, he will
be worth $20,000,000; if he loses, he will '
be no jioorer than he is now. Certain
of his friends have investigated the
matter, and they are convinced that his
cause is just and that the claim, grow
ing out of the old I'nion Pacific litiga
tion and subsequent proceeding'.-, in
which he was legally declared a lunatic,
is valid.
Those friends have employed a l.ir^ r •
syndicate of eastern and western law
\ ers to conduct his case, and Proprietor
Merrifield, of the Continental hotel,
where Citizen Train lives, and former
Mayor Hemis, of Omaha, are protecting
is interests.
The following characteristic inter
view with Citizen Train was obtained.
"Ten days ago," said the Citizen, "a
strange man, evidently a mechanic,
1 came to ine while I was sitting in the
park. I didn't wish to talk with him
.it first, but he persisted ami I yield -
•d. lie said that a short time ago he
iiiade a trip to Omaha and there he met
•. cousin of his, who is a law yen, am]
who lives in a handsome house in tint*,
■ity. 'This is a nice place you own,'
•■marked the mechanic. 'Yes,' was tii•
: ( .~pon.se, 'but between you and me, 1
tally believe George Francis Trai..
>wns it, because he bong-lit the groum.
it speculation many years ago, but
aas cheated out of it. There Is a clou.!
■ in the title, though, and the same cloud
rests upon hundreds of othpr pieces of
Wud around here.'"
Citizen Train repeated the substance
i>f that conversation to Mr. Merrifield
nd he became deeply interested, an>.
with former Mayor lie in is made inquiry
into the matter. The result was that
they have decided to attempt to n»akc
i he Citizen a modern Croesus at the 114.'
of 78. •
Mr Merrifield and Citizen Train ro- \
fused to diiulge the names of the law
\cr.s in the syndicate, but they admitted ;
that it had been formed. Full details \
. for publication, they t>aid, would iu»l I
h- given out until June 1.

VICTIMS OF RUSSIA'S CRUELTY.
Slu\ « Kn Route to Hie Bad Laida Bear
Harki ut Their Treatment.
A party of 21 Slavs, accompanied by
! ;heir wives and children, passed through
Aberdeen, S. 1)., the other day on their
way to the Had Lands. Whether nihi
-1 lists or not, some of the membersof the
part; have hi iTcre ' for the suspicion
of nihilism. One of the men, Michael
Lodovitch, claims to be a brother of
the famous exile, Ivan Lodovitch, who
i lias spent 40 years in the salt mines of
j lower Siberia. Another emigrant,
Tesah Stolstock, was sent to Siberia
for life in and still bears the
marks of the shackles with which he
was confined in underground dun
geons. On the coronation of the pres
ent c/ar, however, he was pardoned,
with 200 others, loiter, Stolstock was
again arrested as n suspected nihilist,
the same crime of which he was accused
and punished before, but he escaped.
He was joined by his sister in Belgium,
nnd they at once started for America.
Perhaps the worst example of Rus
sian punishment in this party is Ivan
Molosky, a Pole. He was never in Si
beria, but was for six years kept in
the dungeons at Moscow. These dun
gt 011s are under the river, and, he says,
are always at least two inches deep with
water that filters through the cement
walls. From June. 1889, to November,
l-v «i, Molosky saw 110 ray of light, and
his only companions were the rats, nis
offense, so the police claimed, was an
attempt 011 the life of Michael Connor,
11 Russian officer of the czar's guard.
Molosky claims that he never had a
trial, and was only released on his
promise that he would leave Russia at
once, otherwise suffer life imprison
ment.

The Young Men's Social club of Mil

cuss the other evening nn amendment
ii> the by-laws allowing liquor to be
drunk in the clubhouse. Frank Pierson,
in advance of the meeting, captured
i "ur big moccasin snakes and when the
debate was at its height and it
looked as though those favoring
tlie resolution would win he re
leased the reptiles from his pock

were occupied by scrambling club
si embers. It was ten minutes before
the snakes vanished and then the meet
ing ventured to come to order again
and the bibulous by-law was defeated

The marriage of Frof. Henry Elmo
