HE limit in shipbuilding seems to have been reacbpi in the monster steamships Olympic and Titanic. recently laid down I at Belfast, writes a New York correspondent of
th? Philadelphia Ledger. With their launching two years hence the giants Mauretania and Lusitania will be distinctly outclassed. New and amazing records as to length, beam and tonnage, is well as of luxury afloat, will be established. Each of these ships will be more than 860 feet in length. The Mauretania is 790 feet in length; the Baltic, the largest of the White Star boats at present, 725 feet. The het

Three time out of four hung »ut the “Brite and Fare" sign for presiiential inaugurations, then turned around and gave out weather that set presidents and diplomats and office holders and common citizens biting hails to keep from saying anything worse. Prof. Moore’s bad guess when he promised sunshine to President Taft, only to give him the worst day in the history of the capital, eclipses what happened at McKinley’s second inauguration in 1901. It was in 1901 that Prof Moore let everybody come out in their new millinery, their shiniest gold Lace and

registered tonnage of the Olympic and Titanic will be. 45.000; that of the Mauretania is 32,500. Neither the Olympic nor the Titanic will be high-power boats, nor are their lines designed for great speed. An immense amount of space which in the fast boats is devoted to machinery is thus saved for cabin accommodations. The carrying capacity of the great liners will exceed that of any boats afloat to-day by at least onethird. Each boat, in other words, will carry under normal conditions more than 5.000 persons all told. One of the most striking novelties of their docks will be a series of moving staircases passing between the up-

HE suffragettes in France, or feministes, as they call themselves. demand s the passage of a law requiring every married man to pay his wife one-half his salary as recompense for her household work. Mme. Pichon-Landry, secretary of the legls lative section of the National Council of Women, who is the originator and leader of the movement, thinks that while the proposal may seem strange at first sight, its justice will com-
mend itself on consideration. She said the other day in a speech: “It cannot be repeated often enough that man’s work is possible, only because of the work of women. If the husband is to earn his wages the wife must free him from the domestic duties necessary for his existence. If men had to make their beds, mepd their clothes and bring up their children their gains would be remarkably diminished. Woman’s work, therefore, is the condition sine qua non of man’s professional labor. In other words, the man receives wages for the work of two. “Since this domestic activity has such value, why should it be the only work that receives no remuneration?” When asked if she hoped for success in her enterprise, Mme. PichonLandry replied: “Os course we expect final success. We have already won many friends among the faculty of the law, and although there are more important questions before the Chamber now, we have no doubt that our turn will come.’’ The question was then put to Mme. Pichon-Landry whether she thought that her law would be practical, whether a wife would enforce her rights to court if the husband refused to give up one-half his salary. The reply was most emphatic: “We know that the law would be enforced by the wife if the husband did not readily comply. We already have a law which permits a woman to draw a certain amount of her husband’s salary every pay day if she can prove that he does hot support her as he should; if this law is a success, our new law must certainly be equally practical.” Mme. Pichon-Landry belongs to the younger set of feministee in Paris, who are not nearly so extreme or so violent In their methods as the older branch. s
per floors of the docks and the ship’s sides. In transferring thousands >f trunks and other pieces, of freight or baggage the ordinary method of lifting the pieces by derrick would be too slow and costly, The moving platforms will make it possible to accelerate the loading and unloading very greatly. The passengers will reach the upper decks by means of steel gangways which will be swung from the upper floors of the docks to the deck by means of steam derricks. The new liners will have nine steel decks, the upper three being designed for promenading. With its' beKm of IM) feet the main saloon of the boats will have ,an area never before enjoy-
ed afloat. The steamers are not onlydesigned to be the last word as regards the size, but in their novelty of equipment as well. There will be a large entrance hall, an elaborate- din-ing-room, smoking-room, library, women’s parlor, grill and louhging-rooms elaborately furnished to the last detail. In addition to these familiar cabins there will be many apartments which will render the illusion of a great hotel complete. One of the upper decks is to be completely inclosed to serve as a ballroom. By day this enclosure may be used as a sun parlor and promenade. It will be large enough to accommodate several hundred passengers. In planning the cabins of the new liners the luxuries of the most up-to-date hotels have been copied and even improved upon. These boats will offer not only extended suites of rooms; but complete flats which will make it possible to cross the Atlantic while enjoying all the privacy of one’s own home. These ocean-going flats will comprise bedrooms, sitting rooms or parlors, private baths and even a private library, all en suite. There will be a great swimming pool aboard large enough to permit of diving, and a gymnasium, the largest and most completely equipped afloat, will be found on each of the new boats. The most striking departure in dining saloons on the new ships will be the veranda case. It will be built on one of the upper decks far astern looking out over the sea and about 50 feet above the water. The decorations and general arrangement will carry out the idea of the open-air cases of southern Europe. The great ship will provide all the comforts of home to people of widely different circumstances and nationality. The new liners will be as complete in their safety devices as in their cabin accommodations. The Titanic and Olympic will be run by a combination of the turbine and reciprocating engines. It is expected that a great economy of coal will be effected by this arrangement. The boats are expected to develop a speed of only 22 knots, but they may be depended upon to do this with such regularity that they will run on a fixed schedule as regularly as any railroad train. They will cross in seven days, counting from dock to dock. They will be. built for stability rather than speed. Incidentally, each boat will carry 6,000 tons of water ballast, if need be, to keep them steady.
TORTURED HIS WIFE. Mexican Accused of Chaining Her to the Wall Each Morning. Miguel Tortoni. a Mexican, is under arrest in Denver, Col., and is scheduled to be taken to Arizona to answer the charge of torturing his wife. Because he was jealous. Tortoni kept his wife chained to the wall in hei‘ home since last July. The chain was fastened to bands about her thighs and her duties at home consisted in taking care of two infants. Tortoni chained his wife every morning when he left the house to go to - -1 11 CHAINED UP HIS WIFE. work. When he came home he unchained her.

CHANGES IN THE ABMY. Retired OWcer Points to tke Increase Since War with Spain. Colonel H. G. Ballard, a retired army officer, says: “Many and striking changes have occurred in the army, its personnel, uniform, armament and equipment, since ISOS, the time of our war with Spain. It is really interesting to compare conditions. “When we entered upon war with 'Spain, in April. 1898, the strength of tne army was 25.000 men, the line consisting of ten regiments of cavalry, seven regiments of artillery and twentyfive regiments of infantry. The various staff departments had about half their present strength. And what have we got to-day? The strength of the army is nearly 70.000. The line includes three battalions of engineers fifteen regiments of cavalry, six regiments of field artillery. 170 companies of coast artillery and thirty regiments of infantry. The staff departments consist of about 4,500 men, and the hos pital corps has about 3.000. Fifty companies of Philippine scouts and the Porto Rico regiment of infantry bring the total strength up to about 80,000 men. “Uniforms, had to be devised to suit the various climatic conditions, and this necessity has been met by the adoption of uniforms for stations in the tropics and others for comfort. Thus we have the white and cotton khaki uniforms in the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico, while the buffalo overcoat, fur cap and gloves offset to some extent the rigors of the Alaskan winter. Life is being made more comfortable for the soldier every year, his health is better looked after and he is receiving higher pay than ever before in the history of the American armjk or, in fact, the army of any country.”

DEATH FOR HIDKAPEBS IS NATIONAL DEMAND Every State Now Expected to Copy the Severe Law of Illinois. DOOM OF ABDUCTORS IS URGED Stealing of Willie Whitla Warns People of Peril and Need of Harshest Penalty. ______ i That death for kidnapers who steal children and holtj them fqr ransom will soon be the punishment meted out. no matter in what part of the United States the crime is committed, appears likely as a result of the wave of horror that swept over the country because of the kidnaping of little Willie Whitla at Sharon, Pa., and the extortion of a ransom of SIO,OOO from his father. Already several States have laws providing for the execution of child stealers, and all over the country steps are being taken in the various State Legislatures and in the National Congress for the passage of laws so drastic that kidnapers will think twice before practicing this form of extortion, which is most repellant to American sentiment. Public sentiment, which had been somewhat lulled since the famous Cud-
ahy kidnaping case of eight years ago. has been reawakened by this latest outrage, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific there is not a mother possessed of enough worldly wealth to attract the attention of kidnapers who caji rest easily as long as her children are out of her sight.
