In a general way, hunger may be considered a symptom of health, and its absence an indication of the ap­ proach, at least, of disease. Under normal conditions, the appetite is closely dependent upon the require­ ments of the system. The sensation of hunger is an exceedingly complex one, being dependent on and modified by the condition of nearly every tis­ sue and organ of the body. It is nat- . ural for the child to be always bun- -gry, because it is growing, making new tissue, and requiring a large Bup- ply of tissue-forming food, says the New York Weekly. With the very aged, quite the opposite condition ex­ ists, as there is no actual rebuilding. Suitable nourishment is required sim­ ply to keep the machine going. Nor­ mal hunger is frequently interfered with by mental distress, the sight of unattractive food, unhygienic sur­ roundings, excessively hot weather, overfatigue and most forms of dis­ ease. Even a headache will generally render one indifferent to the most tempting food. Holland is going to reclaim 40,000 „ fertile acres from the sea.

The iron clad warship is only 45 years old, yet, passing tlyough a process of swift evolution to its pres­ ent perfection, this American discov­ ery has revolutionized the science of naval warfare throughout the whole world. There are now 270 vessels in commission in the United States navy where at one time, in Washington's administration, there was not one. Of these there are 13 battleships of the first and second class, carrying guns into whose mouth this country's first and only "commander-in-chief of the navy," Esek Hopkins, might easily have hidden his disgraced head when an outraged continental congress sum­ marily dismissed him. It was in Hampton Roads that the first chapter in the world's history of iron clads was written. It was in Hampton ^Roads that the nation gathered 16 of her finest sea fighterB ready for a. trip of nearly 20,000 miles. Where the Merrimac swung clumsily across the channel long ago and drove terror to the hearts of seamen who had never yet seen such a monster, Iron clads as graceful and as swift as greyhounds have come and gone all lummer until they have become a fa- Ciliar sight. Among these is the lnnesota, the largest of Uncle Sam's big battleships, and next only in size to the Dreadnaught, which King Ed­ ward of England launched with such ceremony a year or so ago, and to the Satsuma, Japan's new monster of the deep. History of American Navy. The first appropriation made for a navy for this country was that of the continental congress in 1775, and the sum of $100,000 was expected to pur­ chase, equip and generally outfit 13 ships. For the present year, ending July, 1908, the navy will have needed $125 041 399, an increase of $5,000,000 ovet list year. Nine million alone go for ordnance stores. The last appro­ priation of congress for the building of ships was $20,000,000 to be expended on two big ships, each of which is to measure 510 feet in. length, 85 feet beam, and make 21 knots an hour. Three million dollars was appropri­ ated for submarines of the Holland type, and in September five torpedo boat destroyers were contracted for. Thiak of this in comparison with the $100,000 that cost the continental con­ gress so much thought, and which Was furnished by the people.of the colo­ nies after so much privation. "If we are to have a commerce we much have a navy to defend it," wrote Col. Humphreys from the Barbary States in 1793 after he had been sent to see if there were means of stop­ ping the piracy of Algiers and Tripoli on American trading vessels. For years the nation had endured the -hu­ miliation of paying tribute to these countries, and after Washington had ALL ARE LOYAL TO EVANS.

All interest In his advertisement vanishes When one reads that he insists on throwing in 30 wlvi Sailors of the Fleet Respect and Love the Admiral. - / - j ; There is little doubt of the loyalty of the bluejackets of Rea^Admlral Evans. He believes in the old saying about all work and no play. He has en­ couraged athletics and all forms of amusement, until the men have more play than ever before, and the effi­ ciency of the fleet shows they do more work. Sometimes the liberty parties give trouble. When the men are at fault "The Old Man" sustains the po­ lice. When the police abuse hiB men unntA essarily he makes it warm for the police. He refuses to take his ships to any port vhere the men are mistreated. On* day "at u certain port an appren­ tice boy who was tossing a ball about ashore? was clubbed by a policeman. His comrades took him off in a boat to the flagship and asked to see the admiral. He took one look at the youngster's bruised head, asked a few questions. incorporated this sentiment in his message of 1794 the United States still paid tribute, because there was no navy to proVe her independence. How­ ever, that congress appropriated $700,- 000 with which to build six frigates. Among these were the Constitution, now the oldest ship afloat under any flag, and a training ship for appren­ tices at Portsmouth. With this fleet and its later auxiliaries Decatur taught the rulers of Algiers and Trip­ oli a stern lesson, and America soon took her place among the naval pow­ ers of the world, a place which none disputed after her victories over Great Britain in 181,2-1815. Quick Work of Preparation. The president issued the orders for the sailing of this fleet on August 23, and since then coal mines, railways, provision dealers, and manufacturers of heavy ordnance and ammunition ,have known the busiest season they have had since the Spanish-American war. Altogether 35 vessels go to .San Francisco, and when all have as­ sembled in the waters off the coast of California, "Fighting Bob" Evans will have under his command the largest, most Invincible, the most perfectly equipped fleet that has ever mobilized in one place since the history of the world began. The aggregate displacement of the vessels sailing is nearly 42,000 tons, and the aggregate power is 66* guns of four inch calibre and over. The fonr divisions of this fleet will carry 581 of­ ficers and 11,500 enlisted men, as fine an array of jackies as .any navy has ever known, and an earnest and eager set, too, for as soon as the news of the cruise was noised abroad enlist­ ments increased rapidly throughout the navy and desertions became prac­ tically unknown- The moaern wife who puzzles .for days over the packing of her hus­ band's grips and lunch basket when he 16 off for a week's hunting trip, can never begin to appreciate the enormity of Columbia's task in fitting out her 11,500 sons for an outing of 115 days, in which they are not ex­ pected to set foot on land at all. Be- sid&, all the stores-that each ship can carry when her capacity is taxed to its fullest, there will be two ships that carry supplies alone, the Glacier and Culgoa. Immense Supply of Coal. The item of coal alone is not in­ considerable. On October 12, contracts were let for 133,000 tons to be deliv­ ered at the six seaport towns where the fleet will stop, Trinidad, Rio Tanerio, Punta Arenas, 'Callao, Mag- • dalena bay and San Francisco. It is • mined in West Virginia, shipped by j rail to four tide water cities of the Atlantic, and whom there is handled by five American companies in 30 for­ eign steamers to the ports named, where It is piled on the pierg ready for the battleships. Fifteen of these ! steamers go all the way to San Fran- J cisco with their cargoes. The cost of • the coal will be about $3 a ton, and found that the boy was doing no mora than other civilians ashore at the same time .and seemed to have been singled out for attack by the police­ man because he was a seaman. Turn­ ing to the executive officer of the flagship Rear-.\dmiral Evans said: "Pick out 50 good husky ones, give them a baseball and send them ashore." An hour later a boat came along­ side and a chief of police came aboard wearing a disturbed look. "Admiral, your men are beating up my policemen." "Are they? Well, I'm glad to hear it. That's what I sent them ashore for." The 50 husky ones had gone ashore, tossed their ball about, and when the confident police descended upon them they found a very different reception. And It Makes No Difference. A girl needn't feel hurt because her sweetheart can't tell her why he loves her. He doesn't knoW himself.-- Young's Magazine. Voltaire, The superfluous is very necesiary. &J2Z3W5Ctr the cost of transportation will come to over $755,000. Eight colliers accompany the fleet. The Marcelluaj, Hannibal, Leonid as and possibly the Sterling accompany the fleet to Trinidad, and then re­ turn for more coal. Others will go as far as RiO and return to join the fleet again at Magdalena bay, and all that have free space 'tween decks will carry general supplies for the Mare Island navy yard. The Connecticut carries 150 tons of briquettes made of slack coal and pitch to test them as a suitable fuel for use in the navy. The cost of coaling, exclusive of the amount oft coal carried by the ships from Norfolk to Trinidad, will . be $1,229,280, a s„um more than equal to the bonded debt of the state of Idaho or the state of Washington. Provisions in Plenty. As- to provisions, Columbia must pack enough In the giant hampers to feed her sons for the long 115 days, and have enough extra goodies for Christmas, New Year's , and Washing­ ton birthday dinners, and the list shows she has not been niggardly in her selection. There are a variety of foodstuffs, In­ cluding tons of cereals, salt meats, dried fruits and canned goods( and 593,300 pounds of flour for making fresh bread in lieu of long anathe­ matized hard tack. There are tons of dessicated foodstuffs that have al­ ready been tested and found good, and the more recent additions--dried eggs and dehydrated vegetables. There are 9,000 pounds of dried eggs, an equiv­ alent of 36,000 dozen %-esh eggs, and when the Christmas baking is 6n and the 30,000 fresh eggs also carried are not available, the mixer of cakes will find that the dried product when mixed with water will froth as easily as the fresh. New methods ,of communication be­ tween the ships have been installed, and new methods of controlling the fire from, the guns. So new is this system of fire control that a retired naval of­ ficer was heard to remark when the news came to hin^: "That Is a good idea, a good idea. I am glad to hear it, indeed, for fire is a most dangerous thing aboard a Bhlp!" The Colorado was first in this experiment. Wireless6 telegraphy has been a part of a bat­ tleship's equipment for so many years now that It is quite an old story, but the fleet decided it must have wire­ less telephony, too, so the past few weeks have witnessed a busy scene in Hampton Roads, and in New York and Brooklyn harbors, where experts have been busy putting in the appliances. Connecticut Is Flagship. Admiral Evans chose the Connec­ ticut as his flagship, Capt, Ingersoll ig her commander and chief of staff of the Atlantic fleet. Upon the shoulders of Rear-Admiral Brownlow at Wash ington, much of the work of prepara­ tion fell. The splendid condition of the fleet when it left its anchorage here to-day shows how well he has done it. , A Noble Animal, The'Rajah Dowlah, with a large train of followers, was oaee going hunting in the neighborhood of Luck- now. On their way they had to pass through a ravine, in which several In­ valids were lying to receive what benefit they could from the exposure to the sun and air. When their at­ tendants saw the approaching party, they ran away leaving their charges to their fate. The Grand Vizier, who was riding his favorite elephant, saw the Invalids were right in his way, but was determined not to alter his course for their sakes. As long as the elephant had a free path he went on at full pace, but as soon as he came to the helpless persons he stopped, and would not go on in Bpite of all the goards the driver inflicted. "Stick the beast In the ear!" cried the rajah, becoming furious. It was done, but in vain. The noble animal waited some time, but as no- one came to remove the Invalids, he carefully car­ ried each separately In his trunk to a place where they would not be In dan­ ger of being trampled to death by the Formal Statement Issued by Mr, Roosevelt Repeating That Made »• Night of 19M- ' Washington. -- President Roosevelt will not be a candidate for a third term. All doubt on this point was dispelled Wednesday night by the authoritative statement from the White House that Mr. Roosevelt still adheres to the declaration of renuncia­ tion made on the night of the election three years ago. 1 In the statement Issued President Roosevelt says he has not changed and shall not change the decision com­ municated' to the American people in 1904. i It appears that President Roosevelt has been awaiting the call for the Republican national convention to af­ ford the proper opportunity for mak­ ing his position clear and unmistak­ able, thus leaving the field clear for Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, Knox, For- aker and other declared or receptive candidates for the Republican nomina­ tion. The president's statement fol- "In view of the issuance of the call of the Republican national committee sfor the convention, the president makes the following statement: "On the night after election I made the following announcement: 'I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus ex­ pressing, their confidence in whit I have done and have tried to do. I ap­ preciate to the full the solemn respon­ sibility this confidence imposes upon me, and I shfl.ll do all that in my pow­ er lies not to forfeit it. On the fourth of March next I shall have served three and a half years, and this three and a half years constitute my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance, and not the form, and un­ der no circumstances will I be a can­ didate for or accept another nomina­ tion.' ' "I have not changed and shall not change the decision thus announced." The announcement that the presi­ dent would not aceept the Republican nomination, if tendered, came at too late an hour to become generally known in political circles, but among those who ^earned of it, Democrats and Republicans alike, the feeling was general that it left no element of doubt in the presidential situation, so far as relates to the third term talk, and that it definitely eliminates Mr. Roosevelt from the contest now being w#ged. Some Democrats, however, express a belief that a Roosevelt stam­ pede in the RepuWioan convention would shake his resolution and that he would prove no exception to the his­ toric precedent that no American citi­ zen ever refused a presidential nomi­ nation. % Administration Republicans declare that the announcement gives a great impetus to the Taft boom, while the Democrats, many of the leaders of which party are here attending the meeting of their national -committee, are shouting that it means "Bryan in a walk." DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE ALSO ACCEPTS $100,000 FUND. Memfoera Leek oft ;.T" ..fcW:-• v>. • the next Democratic national con tion at Denver, Col., and fixing the date o£ the meeting for July 7, 1308, the Democratic national committee late Thursday entered upon a spjKed deba'te on the propriety of accepting more of the $100,000 offered by Den­ ver for the Jij&fi vention than actually needed to the convention ex­ penses in that city. The opposition to the acceptance of the contribution took the form of a resolution by Representative Clayton of Alabama, declining money not actually heeded for convention pur­ poses, but after a long debate the resolution was laid on the table by a vote of 31 to 14. Mr. Clayton, Representative John Sharp Williams of Mississippi and Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia all spoke in favor of the passage of the resolu­ tion* Mr. Smith was especially em­ phatic in ,saying that the $100,000 which had been offered to secure the Republican convention and refused by the Republican national committee had been offered to and was about to be accepted by the Democratic commit­ tee. He said the Republicans had turned down the offer because it was regarded as in the nature of a bribe and that Democrats, in view of that circumstance, could not afford to ac­ cept it. Mr. Williams spoke In similar vein, as also did Mr. Clayton. Mr. Taggart advocated the accept­ ance of the $100,000, saying it would be needed now even worse than money was needed in 1904, and that at that time it would have been practically im­ possible to have opened headquarters for Judge Parker if they had not had the extra money secured from St. Louis, where the convention was held. In selecting the convention city on first ballot, Denver received 22 votes as. against 17 for Louisville, five for Chicago and one for St. Paul. July 7 was selected after a very brief dis­ cussion. The committee held two sessions during the day and adjourned filially at six o'clock. WANTS GOLDFIELD FACTS. President Sends Labor Department Of; ficials to Investigate. NOT TO BEAUTIFY.

Pictures Pettibone As His Paymaster for All His Crimes., Boise, Idaho. -- Showing signs of deep emotion, Harry Orchard, in the Pettibone trial Thursday after­ noon, told of the assassination of ex- Gov. Steunenberg. In minute detail he testified in regard to the deliberate preparations for the crime; of his un­ successful attempt to end the life of the governor, and finally of placing the bomb on the night of December 30, 1905. Before telling of the Steunenberg murder Orchard detailed his alleged attempts on the lives of Fred Bradley at San Francisco; Justice Gabbert, Justice Goddard and Gov. Peabody at Denver, and of plans which he said were made to kill Sherman Bell, Frank Hearae, David Moffatt and John Ne­ ville. Throughout his story he pic­ tured Pettibone as his paymaster, and in some of hi» attempted crimes he implicated the defendant as an active participant. In every detail his narra­ tive was the same as given in the Hay­ wood trial. Bro»klyn/Bankers Arrested. New York.--John G.
