cruisers nre to be of 8,000 tona each and

ships, three of them armored cruisers
of tho Improved nrooklyn type, but
double the atse aaid formidableness, of
that vessel; thren Improved Olymplaa,

more powerful than the fine flagship
that led the way Into Manila bay, and
12 gunboat of a typ recommended by
Admiral Pewey aa essential for the ef
fective itrol of the Philippine archi
pelago. The loiter clans must bo able to go
out lo Manila under their own irtenm,
must draw lee water than any gun
boat now In the navy, must maneuver
ably In tortuom channel and above all,
muat have sufficient protection to re

Such vessels are Intended to replace
the smaller gunbouita, which, In several
Instances, have proved unable to take
car of themselves when aittarKed In
force, although frequently demonetrat

Illicit trafllc but worn tfoe Inlands, car

Thi If the program now under con
sideration by the navy board of con
struction which wna decided by Secre
tary Long Mveral week ago to tudy
the need of the navy and to submit
recommendation for required addi
tion to the fleet.
At the meeting of the board today
tho member were disposed to divide

to Increaiied coal carrying capacity and
engine apace and radlu of action and

The boardl has shown some healtancy
about recommemdlng futher Increase of
armored veaaela at the present time, aa
tlx higher powered and larger armored
veaaela than have been built for the
navy were authtrled by the Inst con
grea and have not yet beMi designed
and because J0.000 tona of armor are re
quired for vessel already authorised,
an amount which can scarcely be de
livered In les than four years after

The necessity of more first-class ar

nised and the board today favored three
of about 13,000 tona displacement of a
type Involving no marked departures
from the rirookly. in arrangements
though of double that vessels power
and tonnage and defensive qualities.
At least one of the members favored
a more formidable vtsel, combining
the salient features of the best cruisers
and the battleship abroad, which Is
described a the "terrible, horrible,
damablo" class and this will have fur
ther consideration tomorrow.
Every member of the board was em

NEW YORK. Nov. 14.-A opeclal to
the Times from Washington Bays:
The task of supplying the navy with
Krag-Jorgeneen rlflea In pluce of the
l.ce rlflea that have been In use in the
navy for some time has begun, the ord
nance bureau of the war department
having Isued 1,000 Krog-JorgeJisen ri
fles and 5.0t0 rounds of ammunhlon to
be served to the battUnhlps Kentucky
and Kearsearge at the New York navy
yard.
Both branches of the Hen-Ice will soon
have small arm of the same callbiv,
thus greatly slmplyfylng the problem
of Interchangable supplies of ammuni
tion when the army and navy are re
quired to operate In conjunction. Grad
ually the Lee rifle will be discarded and
replaced by Krag-Jorgenaen rifles.
Some 5,00 rounds of ammunition was
called for by the navy department for
experimental purposes and experiments
are now being made wun , it wun a
Colt machine gum. The army ordnance
dipartment will continue to manufac
ture the Krag-Jorgensen ride for the
navy as they are called for, but the
ammunition will be manufactured by
the ordnanoe department of the navy.
The cartridge to be used by the
army type of rifle will be Identical
with that used by the army except that
they will be loaded with mivy smoke
l?ss powder. The bullet will be the
same weight.

ONE OF THE ANGELS.
New York Pre.
At the Albaivy station of the New
Yoark Central and Hudson River rail
road there is an old man of the name
of Booth, who la a gate keeper and
calls out the departing trains. He Is
one of the most gentle and kind men
In the world. He answers every ques
tion asked as ploanodUly and paUently
as If he were an angel, and you may
rest asured that many thousands of
fool Inquiries are fired at him. In call
ing out the trains he does not shout
In gut'teral-doiorerel-mutteral which
nobody can understand. He never
raises his voice, yet it Is far reaching,
and his enunciation and pronunciation
are so distinct that every word he
speaks Is heard. He Is particularly
good to women and children. This Is a
fair sample of his calling:
"The train for Schenectady, Fonda,
Amsterdam, Little Falls, Utlca Rome
and all local points west Is now In the
station on track No. S; it will leave In
ten minutes."
After a mlnuta he will again call out:
"If there are any women with children

and her capscity for wifehood and mother
hoodwithout realiiing it. There no

would drive a man to the mad-houae.
Thouaanda of women auffer in this wy
and ask neither aid nor aympathy. They
realise that they are the victims of weak
ness and disease of the distinctly womanly
organism. T'ley do not consult a physician
because of the well-founded fear that he
will insist upon disgusting "tiaminations
and "local treatment." Dr. Pierces ta
