MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
Motor Boat Invented by Frenchman

Speed.
- * . I
Among the many interesting experi- ,
me is with motor boa. says the Lon
don Mall, perhaps the most pictui-'
esque were tho^e on the Seine at |
Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert,
in conjunction vii Messrs l>c Dion
: ntl Bouton, brought out tb ir bateau j
■ ii;. i , <>•• ! iiiiiii;. boat. it is also
i -ml ih a name is i
rc.uly iudica;i\e of its construe;ion.
With •; ' .♦•in power mo
tor, the count attained a speed of 28
I . . . • ati hour in his first ex
! -ii , .ii t now he has added to
tliat (1 and has made 32 Kilome
ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
The inventor of this hydroplane is
ned, however, content with this, and
will try in a day or two to raise the
speed to 3» or even 40 kilometers, or
2t> miles an hour, or a speed that is
not exceeded by the use of a 40-horse
tower motor.
The boat itself is 36 feet tong and
nine feet wide. To the bottom of the
boat are affixed Are planes or fins.
When the boat is stationary these fins
hang vertically in the water. They
are hinged, however, and are all under
control of the driver. When the mo
tor is set in motion and the boat
begins to move these planes, begin
ning at the bow, are gradually given
a backward angle. The boat rises in
the water and then gradually rests
upon it, with the stern of the boat
only Immersed. The speed increases,
and the boat, following the inclination
of the planes, glides along the surface
of the water Just as an aeroplane
glides on the air, and with not much
more resistance.
It is confidently expected that with
an increased horse-power motor the
hydroplane will reach a speed of 60
miles an hour.
TO AUCTION QUEEN’S GOODS
All Furniture and Treasures of Isa
bella of Spain Except Personal
Jewels to Go Under Hammer.
It has been decided that the personal
jewels of the late Queen Isabella of
Spain, who for many years lived in
Paris, will not be sold as expected.
The casket containing the precious
stones, necklaces, etc., has been pro
visionally deposited at a bank, and as
soon as the affairs of the late queen are
cleared up and the contents of her pal
ace disposed of the Comte Quiaqui,
who has charge of all these matters,
will distribute the Jewels among the
royal family of Spain.
On the other hand, the furniture, ob
jects of art and all the other treasures
tn the Palais de Castille, Queen Isa
bella's home in the Avenue Kleber, op
posite the united States embassy, will
be sold at public auction.
The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to
San Sebastian to consult King Alfon
so’s wishes on the subject and the auc
tion will probably take place early in
the autumn. The catalogue is being
prepared.
It is well known that the contents of
the Palais de Castille are marvels of
beauty and worth and constitute a veri
table museum. Several offers have
been made for the palace itself and the
surrounding gardens, but nothing defi
nite has yet been accepted. The estate
covers 4,600 square yards of land,
valued at $160 to $200 a yard.

Mobile Merchant Experiences Diffi
culties in Getting Goods to Cap
ital of Guatemala.
A Mobile merchant sold some cotton
! goods not long ago to be delivered at
| Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of his
( warehouse a steamer was loading for
j Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railway
! to within 60 miles of the Gnatamalan
! capital. To reach the latter the goods
] would have to be packed over the rnoun
. tains by Indians or on muleback. The
merchant found it cheaper to ship by
! way of San Francisco, thence by boat to
I San Jose, Guatamala. and to the cap
ital by rail. New Orleans, terminus of
j the Southern Pacific, is almost next door
to Mobile. New York, however, en
. joyed a cheaper rate because there was
j competition with the routes across the
Atlantic ami thence round Cape Horn.
So the goods were sent by boat to New
York, thence by boat back to New Or
i leans, and thence on their way. going
; nearly 10,000 miles instead of 1.100 by
the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil
ity to get at the west coast markets has
done much to keep American goods out
' of them. Guatamala lias now arranged
for the speedy completion of the rail
way from the Caribbean to the capital
and a cheap direct route will thus bt
opened.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE [
IS DANGEROUS. i
*'• ■ ■
_____
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- j
toms is the Prime Cause of so j
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
bright’s Disease.
!t is Easily Curable In the Early Stages.
- I
Kidney di‘.e;iS( are so destructive to j
human lift- because they do not manifest j
alarming ymptoms until the constitu- |
tion is seriously weakened and the j
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to I
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised,- in instances innu
i merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug StorA, $1.00 per bottle.

INDEPENDENTS
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Pala'ce Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years of age,
i who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
| est baby. Now the baby that is
■ not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
< times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
3 are expected to think their ba
’ i bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
. the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
f ballot, and in accordance with
1 the following rules:
