Finest Work Lowest Prices BIGGER THAN AN OFFICE BUILDING The Battleship Alabama Compareb " v With Philadelphia Bourse. HAS AN IMMENSE DRAFT Draws Over Thirty-two feet and Will Carry Six Hundred Men and Officers. Philadelphia Times. Few people, if any, realize the true size of a full-fledged American battle- hip. The common error Is to think them smaller than they really are, and even those who have some concc-Mlnn of their size fall far short of the cor rect estimate. The ocean la so laree and the shlDs which Bteam up and down its surface appear so small In comparison that uch a stale of affairs exist is not surprising. As she steamed over her course on her trial and came back for finishing touches at Cramps' with the victorious 17.2 painted in broad white figures upon her black smokestacks the newest and the greatest warship, the Alabama, be came the fastest battleship afloat in the American navy, if not In the world. "She is a little beauty," excialmed her prospective captain, and his words and thoughts were echoed by the sail ors who stood by his side and the work men watching her sail away and who had tolled day by day that she might grow, g No one thought how incongruous were the diminutive pet names they bestowed upon her. But incongruous they were when the fact is taken Into consideration that the vessel which they talked of as if she were a toy boat capable of being tucked under the arm, was in reality 8 feet high from conning tower to keel. The Alabama, in fact, Ib as large as a good slz3d modern office building and the crew and offlcers who will some day sle:p, eat, drink and have their being beneath her broad decks will number more than those who make an office building their home during the day. The Alabama may be compared to one of the big office buildings In Phil adelphianamely the Bourse. That great emporium Is' not a recent building entirely and should therefore be famll-1 lar to alL No one would be tempted, standing on the pavement of the Bourse on looking up like a pigmy at its giant roof, to call it, as the embryo captain of the Alabama did. "a little beauty." The Bourse is about 100 feet high. The battleship Is 86. The Bourse la 350 feet long and the battleship 370. The Bourse cost 3625,000 to build and the battleship $3,500,000 exclusive of arma ment. The Bourse houses 400 men all day long and the battleship 600 men day and night A thousand men com pleted the building In two years, but two thousand men have been working on the ship for two years and she Is not yet done. In the Bourse there are one or two engines which are capable of doing all the work of the building, but In the battleship the engines are numbered by the fifties and the hundreds. All day long they grind away light ing the Innermost parts of the ship, pumping fresh air Into passages where fresh air would not otherwise go. Pow erful engines drive this living busy hive from place to place wherever the honeyed conversation of Uncle Sam's booming war guns might be found necessary. Within a given space In the Alabama there is more going on than within similar space In any office building In the world. Yet not once has there ever been a complaint that the situation was crowd'-d. Down near the keel, thirty feet under the surface of the water, men are Bhov ellng coal and running engines. Right above them another gang are storing away cans of powder or piling shot and shell away In the racks. Still further up, In another part of the ship away from the noise and whir of the engines, men are sleeping and waiting their turn at watch. A city by Itself where there la no dis tinction between night and day that Is what life on a battleship means. A never sloping city run In the perfec tion of order and discipline where every man has his place and his appointed duties that is what a battlVahlp Is.

This Is In accordance with a decision of the faculty which holds that such work Interferes with study. The Lucha, published In Havana, ay3 that In the event of Cuban Inde pendence the gravest problem to be faced will be the racial problem, and that the supremacy of the whites must bo guaranteed. The paper admits, however, that "the negro, who are nu merically the chief element In the pop ulation, starved and fought bravely during the war, while many bespangled cockalorums, now strutting around Havana in gorgeous uniforms, were In Mexico or Ucatan, lying about their political convictions."
