Whenever she competed she invariably
won. Her triumphs In the East, where
she gained the title of champion woman
player of the UnltedlStates, were a source
of great pleasure to her California ad

games at San Rafael. She is but 17
years old, but has the strength of a grown
man. Her shoulders and forg arm are mas

mendous force. She Is not graceful, be
cause she plays with an abandon not
usual with women. She races across tho
court and wheels suddenly, unmindful
whether her skirts whirl as a ballet
dancer's or remain In place. She plays
In a very light costume, which reaches
to a point midway betwen ankle and
knee.

Is recorded as worth $2,310,000. This la
supposed to represent 70 per cent of the
true value.. The Increase 13 occasioned
largely through the tremendous rise in
tho value of property In the business dis

congregation waited for days with no
word from either, word got abroad that
they had gone together. Yesterday, a
note from the missing pastor stated that
he would not return and requested cer

HUME TORPEDO WORKS.
Where the Deadly Explosives Are Be
ing Constructed.
Detroit Tribune.
"Visitors to Flume who drive or walk
along the road from the town to Abbazla
the Austrian Winter sea resort catch
glimpses of a fine park and villa on ono
side of the road, and notice a long fac
tory wall Inclosing a tall chimney stack,
and the roofs of Immense workshops on
the other. This park and villa and tho
workshops, too, are the property of the
Whitehead family. They are the cele
brated torpedo works whence most of the
navies of the world have drawn either
their supplies of torpedoes or the models
from which they have manufactured
their own torpedoes undor special agree
ment with Messrs. Whitehead. The start
ling successes of the Japanese lend par
ticular Interest to the Whitehead torpedo
works because Japan has bought more
heavily of Messrs. Whitehead than any
other nation in the world. It is said that
since the war with China began, Japan
has received more than 2100 of the long,
silvery automatic submarines known as
torpedoes. The success -of the Japaneso
torpedo boats has, therefore, been an
immense advertisement for the White
head factory, and it would not be sur
prising if, in a few months, the works
were again employing their full comple
ment of 900 skilled hands.
The torpedo resembles a silver shark.
It is more than five yards long, slightly
blunt at the head, a little fuller toward
the waist, whence it tapers off to the tail.
It is made of fine, elastic steel, and is
divided into six principal parts. The head
contains the detonator, and a charge of
some GO kilogrammes of dry and wet gun
cotton; the body contains the compressed
air, which, at a pressure of 150 atmos
pheres, supplies the motive power to a
wonderful Httle engine that drives the
propellers. The weight of this compressed
air is nearly nine stone, and, Instead of
helping to float the torpedo, it helps to
sink it. Immediately behind the com
pressed air Is a pendulum, which serves
by an ingenious contrivance to keep the
horizontal rudder straight and to steer
the torpedo. Next to the rudder and pen
dulum lies the engine, which worked at
incredible rapidity, drives the two screws
fixed at the tall of the torpedo. These
screws work in opposite directions', the
one from left to right and the other from
right to left, but they revolve on the same
axis. This opposite motion of the screws
gives stability to the torpedo, which, as
it has no keel, would rotate if it were
driven by one screw only. Perhaps the
most Ingenious contrivance of all Is the
gyroscope, which helps to steer the tor
pedo in a straight line toward the object
to which it has been aimed, and which
consists of a thick disc of copper or
bronze, which is made to revolve rapidly
by a clockwork spring, wound up by hand
just before the torpedo is discharged.
Unless one has had an opportunity of
examining the Inside of a torpedo, it is
impossible to form an Idea as to the
amount of study and invention necessary
to produce such a machine. Robert White
head, who was born at Manchester and
trained there and afterward at Marseilles,
passed toward 1S50 into the service of the
Stabillmento Tecnlco at Trieste, and in 1S5S
accepted the Invitation of a number of
capitalists at Flume to help In founding

(From Cincinnati Post.)
ROCHESTER, N. T. Restored to life by a
miracle, a woman who was on her way to the
Crave has been rescued by that world-famous
savant of this city, Prof. Thomas F. Adkin.
The woman was about to be launched npon her
long-, last Journey when tho attention ot this
scientific wonderworker was called to her case.
Responding Instantly, and succeeding where
doctors and all others had failed, he revived
the spark of life in her body, put an end to
the agonies of dissolution, ban!shd all thoughts
of death, and In a manner and epace of time
truly miraculous restored the woman to health
and returned her well and strong to those who
had bidden farewell to her forever. So re
markable and unlooked for was this happy end
ing that Prof. Adkln Is being accredited with
possessing divine power.
"When seen In reference to this wonderful
rescue. Prof. Adkln said: "Tes, I restored the
woman to life at the very edge ot the grave,
and when I say that I make no charge for cer
tain help to those who are 111 and suffering I
mean every word of it. This is only one case
out of thousands where I havo been the Instru
ment of God In restoring health and happiness
to the sick and dying. Dally I receive letters
filled with moans and soba of physical and
mental agony, imploring me for the aid I am
so glad to bestow. A few days pass and" others
from the same people come fairly ringing with
Joyous gratitude for the wonderful restoration
to health my power has accomplished. Some
of the worst cases in the country have been
brought to me, men and women on their way
to the grave, as was this Mrs. TV. S. Swayne,
and I have cured them so quickly that people
say I work miracles."
The sensation created among the medical fra
ternity by hla discovery and miraculous cures
has been so great that over twenty physicians
have taken up the btudy of the methods of this
wonderful man. "While they one and all are
oompelled to adroit the facts and acknowledge
the countless cures Prof. Adkln is making,
they are unable to explain or account for the
mjsteriojis, Intangible force he exerts. Some
of them admitted that their remedies were as
bread pills and water compared with his treat
ment. While, as an upright Christian man,
Prof. Adkln gives thanks to God for the knowl
edge he has sent, be disclaims "the statements
that hla power is supernatural, eaylng: "My
power Is not divine or superhuman. It Is scien
tific to the highest degree, based on a secret
law of nature that commands life and death
absolutely. Though this secret has baffled the
doctors and wise men of all times, I finally
discovered It after long study and research.
Drugs, medicines and the surgeon's knife often
do more harm than good. But by this Im
mutable law of life I can combat any disease,
however malignant; whatever Its nature, chron
ic or intermittent; no matter what the doctors
may have said about it."
"White in some cases he sends out a peculiar
magnetized food product In concentrated form,
which immediately revitalizes the whole human
system. Prof. Adklns disdains the use of Faith
Cure, Christian Science or ctmtlar cults. What
this extract or elixir is. how he makes It or
charges It with magnetic force, he does 'not
say. Doctors and scientists ore vainly puz
zling their brains trying to analyze it and dis
cover the secret, but cannot.
Returning to the case of Mrs. Swayne, In
reply to a question Prof. Adkln said: "That you
may have no doubt about this and the other
remarkable cures I have made, read this letter
from the woman's husband, and these others,
which you are at liberty to publish if you
think they will help some poor sufferers." A
copy was taken, word for word, of the letters
shown by Prof. Adkln. and they are printed
herewith In the belief that they will be a
message of hope to some who have given up
In despair. Mr. Swayne, who la proprietor of
the Clear Spring Lit hla Water, New Haven,
Conn., writes: "I cannot express my gratitude
for what you have done for my wife. She was
on her deathbed; she was paralyzed and had a
clut ot blood on her brain. Physicians said
there was no hope that she could reco-er, but
you have saved her life. She Improved from
the very first day ehe commenced your treat
ment. The clot of blood has disappeared, aha
the name of the Stabillmento Tecnlco Fiu
xnano. The new enterprise attained great
repute, owing to the excellence of Mr.
Whitehead's marine engines, but in 1871
the Austrian government ceased to .sup
port the works, and they had to be closed.
A year later, Mr. Whitehead plucklly re
opened the works under his own name,
and began the manufacture of torpedoes.
He was helped by his son-in-law, Count
George Hoyos, and afterward by his son,
John Whitehead.
By that time the development of the
torpedo had reached such a point that the
Austrian, British and French govern
ments'acqulred the right to use the inven
tion, but, of course, It was then by no
means bo perfect as it has since been
made.
The precision of the performances of
these marvelous automatic submarines
may be Judged by the fact that according
to the latest experiments, the widest de
flection from the line at a range of 30000
yards, is not more than 12 yards, in spite
of the strong currents which prevail in
that part of the Adriatic coast. This
means that if a torpedo were aimed at
the center of a battleship 3000 yards
away, it would probably hit it ten feet
below water and within 36 feet of the
spot aimed at. As a battleship Is usually
more than 300 feet long, there is room
for a deviation much greater than this.
Under favorable conditions, however, the
torpedo may be relied on to strike with
in a yard or two of the spot at which It
was aimed, provided the aim is good.
The Whitehead torpedoes practically
stand alone in the market, as the German
firm, Schwarzkopff, has ceased to com
pete. It is scarcely probable that any
serious rival will spring up, at least in
the form of private enterprise, the plant
for making torpedoes being enormously
expensive, as is the cost of keeping up
the works. Messrs. Whitehead's work-
1 men are nearly all Croatians, but the
language of the works is Italian. The
men are highly paid, some earning as
much as 14 shillings a day. and all at

In my wife's case. My neighbors all know the
condition my wife was In when she commenced
your treatment, and they were hourly expecting
her death. I hope and pray that I may be at
your command to help those who suffer and get
them to write you for free help." Prof. Ad
kin never even saw Mrs. L. A. Phillips, of
Trawick. Tex., yet when she was dying ha
gave her his aid and brought her back to life,
so that she writes to him: "When I first began
your treatment 1 1iad no faith in it at all, had
tried so many different kinds of medicines with
no benefit. I had been under the treatment of
twelve different hospitals, with no relief, and
then I employed two home doctors, but they
soon got so they did me no good and told me
they could do nothing for me, and that if I
could find anything that could do me any good
for me to get It. for they ad done everythtei
they could. I suffered from every disease that
flesh Is heir to . I had been bedfast for no
years, unable to stand up longer than ten min
utes at a time. If ever a woman suffered I
did. I could lie on but one side. I had two
large bed sores that gave me a great deal ot
trouble, and I suffered so much In other ways.
T had kidney trouble, catarrh of the bladder
and also gravel. I used to suffer at times
until I had spasms. I also suffered from fall-
lng of the womb, ulcers and chronic Indiges
tion, and, of course, all of these diseases loft
my nerves In a terrible condition, when I final
ly wrote you. You have done for me what no
one else ever did. My friends all say that I
have been raised from the dead. I was noth
ing but skin and bones; now I am fellns
splendid. I say to every ont tuat If they would
place their caee In your hands you would do
the same for them. All they need to do Is to
give you a trial." Another letter was from
Rev. S. A. Sanders, an eminent evangelist ot
Cairo, 111., who for many years had been a
victim of chronic Indigestion and nervous pros
tration. His letter says: "I began your treat
ment with but little faith, but in a few days
realized that I had something different from
anything I had ever tried. It seemed to nil me
with new life and energy. In ten days I felt
like a new man and slept soundly as a child.
Before taking your treatment I was miserably
111, blue, discouraged and nearly heartbroken.
Now I am well, enjoying life and able to do
more and better work than ever. All theso
blessings I owe to you, a man worthy of the
fullest confidence, and I hope every sick and
afflicted man and Woman will write to you.
You are carrying off a great work for human
ity, and your discovery is a revelation." Dr.
A. W. Shaw, of Grafton, W. Va.. writes:
"Leading physicians and specialists pronounced
my case of Bright's disease incurable, arid I
was given up to die. I had lost all hope and
did not think anything could save me. but you
cured me. There Is no doubt about the truly
marvelous power of your wonderful discovery."
Prof. Adkln? receives an enormous amount of
mail from all over the world. This flood oX
letters la due to what Is probably one of tho
most myterlous elements of Prof. Adkln's
power. Remarkable as the fact may seem, he
does not have to see persona who are ill In
order to euro them. The vital magnetic In
fluence he exerts travels miles as easily as
Inches, attacking the disease like magic and
driving It from the body. He cures those at
any distance, however great, as easily as
though he visited them personally every day.
It has been proven times without number that
a letter sent to him does Just as much good as
a personal Interview. AH that anyone who is
sick has to do is to write him a letter, telling
their symptoms, age and sex, and he will diag
nose their case and prescribe the proper home
treatment for them absolutely free of charge.

tain a high level of proficiency by yeara
of practice.
When the works are fully occupied two
complete torpedoes can be turned out in
one day. but In slack times the rate of
production is slower, and many of the
men are employed in making tool3. air
compressors and other nondestructive
machines. The motive power is electricity,
which is generated on the premises.
The manager of the works is an Eng
lishman, who has been for 18 years In the
services of Messrs. Whitehead. He is the
personification of quiet strength and Intel
ligence, Is full of dry humor, speaks four
languages fluently, and controls the works
as easily as a first-class chauffeur con
trols a 100 horse-power motor car. Bad
work is not paid for, but good is alwaya
rowarded. At a time when much Is being
said about the decay of British industries
and the difficulty of keeping pace with the
other countries of the world, a visit to
the torpedo works of Messrs. Whitehead
makes one feel that a country which- can
turn out such men as the manager of tho
works at Flume need be second to none in
Industry.
