OUR TITLED WOMEN AT HOME. The Estates and Residences of Former American Girls. American young women who marry titled or prominent Englishmen usually spend the remainder of their lives abroad. Their homes are all that The new Duchess of Marlborough will, of money can buy. course, occupy Blenheim, one of the most magnificent private residences in the world.

Fortunes already have been spent in completing and repairing this magnificent castle, and another million or SO could be employed to good advantage in putting the building and grounds in order. It is expected that a large portion of the marriage settlement will be expended in this manner. One of the largest castles in England, Coombe Abbey, belongs to the Countess of Craven, who was Miss Cornelia Bradley Martin, and who has just passed her eighteenth birthday, though she has been a lady of high degree for more than a year. The Countess of Essex, who was Miss Adele Grant of New York, owns another of the English grand country seats. The Countess of Essex brought her husband no fortune, but she is acknowledged to be one of the most charming and beautiful of England's rapidly increasing colony of "American Princesses." She is the second wife of the Earl of Essex.

Her favorite residence is Cassioberry, in Hertfordshire. The building is in the center of vast grounds, including some of the best deer parks in England. The grounds contain more than twenty miles of walks and drives, all beautifully shaded. The Countess need never go beyond her own preserves when takes outdoor exercise.

MRS. R. AUSTIN. MRS. R.

AUSTIN, ONE OF NATURE'S noble women, who is now engaged in taking care of the children at the Orphans' Asylum, Eighteenth and streets, has this to say: "It was at least twelve years ago that my trouble began. It came from colds. My head was at first principally affected. There were severe pains across my forehead over my eyes, often causing me pains in the eyeballs, My eyes would become weak and watery. My nostrils would at times discharge a watery matter, and at other times become ciogged up, so that I could scarcely breathe through them.

Constant ringing and roaring noises in my ears distressed and annoyed me and made me fear that my hearing was becoming impaired. The mucous from my head would drop back into my throat and keep me constantly hawking and gagging and raising. "Gradually the cattarrh, which first affected simply my head and throat, extended until my whole system was undermined. It was Catarrh of the Head, Throat and Stomach, I believe they called it, but my lungs and heart seemed to be involved also; sharp, shooting pains would take me in the chest, running through to the shoulder blades. My heart would beat hard and fast, and this would be followed by a slow, irregular beating and a "The least exertion would put me all out of breath.

I had difficulty in getting air enough into my lungs. My breathing was labored. It seemed as if I was drawing the air through a sponge, and there would be a wheezing, whistling kind of sound with my breathing. "I had little appetite, my stomach was weak and what tood I managed to eat would lay like lead upon it. There whuld be a feeling of distress and nausea after eating.

My sleep was fitful and broken. At last the disease seemed to center in my throat and became so severe that I lost all hope of recovery. "In fact, I was a broken down woman when three months ago I went to the Neagle Medical Institute. I had tried many doctors and all sorts of patent medicines without getting relief. I could hardly walk I was so weak and sick.

Well, you can see for yourself what Dr. Neagle and associates have done for Ine. They have restored my health. I eat well, sleep well, fee! well. I am a new woman -a strong, healthy and happy woman.

That is what these physicians have done for me. If any one doubts the truth of my wonderful recovery under the care of these doctors, let them call upon me or write and see for themselves. "DR. J. H.

REAL ESTATE. ETC. THE NEW KEARSARGE. Powerful American Battleships About to be Built. They Will Cost $5,000,000 Each, and Will be the Most Destructive War Vessels Afloat-Nothing Could Stand Up Against Them-First Description of These Formidable Vessels.

(Copyright by the United Press, 1895.) WASHINGTON, Nov. a year after the famous frigate Kearsarge was wrecked on Roncador Congress determined to perpetuate the name by giving it to the most powerful defender of American rights that could be designed by our naval constructors, and by its Act of March 2, 1895, authorized two great armored battleships, to ultimately cost, complete, about 000,000 each, and to be invulnerable of any foreign navy. The against the heaviest golpecfichters vision that one of these vessels should be christened Kearsarge made an exception to the law stipulating that ships of this class should be named for States of the Union, and Congress alone had power to modify this requirement. As no suggestion was made in the case of the sister ship, the suggestion has been made that she be called after Secretary Herbert's native State, the sections of the country having been remembered the Oregon, Indiana, Massachusetts and Iowa. This question will not be pressed until the launching time comes--about two years hence -and in the meantime, in accordance with the usual custom of the Navy Department, the vessels will be officially known as battleships No.

5 and No. 6. Legislative authority also declared that one of the vessels should be built on the Pacific Coast, unless reasonable bids could not be secured from that locality, and the limit of cost, exclusive of armament, was fixed at 000,000. These being the first great warships designed under the present Administration, it was resolved that no effort should be spared to make them, without question, the highest types of their class; and for the past six months lively controversies have raged in the Navy Department over their smallest details, every portion of designs having been exhaustively discussed by experts, and every advantage of experience gained from other battleships constructed both at home and abroad having been fully utilized. One essential requisite laid down by Secretary Herbert was that these vessels should draw less water when fully laden than any other first-class battleship, either in this country or abroad.

The largest foreign battle-ships, ready for sea duty, in the neighberhood of feet of water. eight Our existing battle-ships, while drawing twenty-four feet at normal displacement, owing to the settling by the stern due to increased weight, really draw about twenty-seven feet. Battleships 5 and 6 have been designed to draw but twenty-five feet, with 1,200 tons of coals and all stores and ammunition on board. This will enable them to reach all the principal navy yards and ports of the country even when fully laden, and will make their docking less difficult than that of the other American battle-ships. The question of the caliber and disposition of the large guns gave rise to more discussion than any other question in connection with these vessels.

Chief Constructor Hichborn, who is responsible for all designs under the new ruling of the Navy Department, held views differing radically from those of the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance. who designs and builds the guns. The chief constructor advocated that the largest guns should be twelve inches caliber--four being carried in two turrets--and that eight-inch guns should be carried in four turrets, making six turrets in all. The Chief of Ordnance proposed the novel scheme of two double-decked turrets on each ship, in the lower part of which were to be mounted two 13-inch guns, and in the upper part two 8-inch guns, making the heavier battery consist of four 13-inch and four 8-inch in two turrets. The department, upon the majority vote of the Council of Bureau Chiefs, finally adopted this plan, and the 13-inch and 8-inch guns will accordingly be mounted in double turrets, one rigidly superposed on the other.

These gun positions will be elliptical in section, with major axes in the line cf fire, and will have complete armor protection from a distance of four feet below the water line to the top of the 8-inch turrets. This armor, as well as all armor used on these vessels, will be solid nickel-steel, Harveyized. The lower part of the protection, the SOcalled barbettes, as well as the 13-inch turrets, will have armor fifteen inches thick, except immediately in front, where it will be increased to seventeen inches. The armor protecting the 8-inch guns will be nine inches heavier where the guns protrude. In addition to these heavy battery of fourteen 5-inch rapid-fire will be mounted on the main deck guns between the turrets and will be protected by continuous armor six inches thick, a splinter bulkhead two inches thick separating each gun station.

A numerous battery of smaller six-pounder guns and one-pounder guns will be placed wherever they can fire to advantage. The protection of the hull against inJury to the vital regions along the waterline will effected by means of side armor belt of sixteen and a half Inches maximum thickness, with a depth of seven and a half feet, so mean disposed in reference to the loadline that the vessel, with 410 tons of coal aboard, will have three and a half feet this belt armor above the water, of and with 1,210 tons of coal aboard, two feet will be exposed to view. The belt extending from the stem to the aft barbette and maintaining a maximum thickness from its after end to the forward boiler room bulkhead will taper gradually to four inches behind the ram. Protection will be afforded above the main side armor by a steel belt five inches thick, extending up to the level of the main deck and running in a foreand-aft direction from the center of the forward to the center of the after barbette. On top of the main side armor belt will rest a flat steel deck two and three-quarter inches thick, and forward and abaft the machinery and boiler spaces this deck will be inclined at the sides, and the thickness on the slopes increased to three and five inches.

To further protect the vessel against raking fire athwartship, bulkheads of armor ten and twelve inches thick will be placed at the points where the deck joins the inclined slopes. In addition to the armor belts, cofferdams filled with compressed, fireproof American corn-pith cellulose, recently tested with such satisfactory results, will be distributed the entire length of the vessel in the region of the water line between the coal bunkers and the ship's outer skin. The conning tower armor is tc be ten inches thick, with a tube seven inches thick leading down to the armor deck for the protection of voice pipes, telegraph, steering rods, etc. Throughout the vessel the use of wood is reduced to a minimum, the stateroom bulkheads being made of steel, covered with cork sheathing. Every attention is given to lighting, heating, draining and ventilating the vessel in the most approved and modern manner, three distinct electric lighting plants being installed, each furnishing 100 amperes of current at eighty volts.

All wood material of every description is to be treated by electric fireproofing process. As these ships are intended for duty as flagships, accommodations made for persons, officers, promisionnd marines. stores They for may a carry three months' and winter clothing sufficient quantity for a year's service, and, besides the distilling apparatus capacity, the tank holds a supply of fresh water to last fifteen days. The Kearsarge and her sister ship will be driven by two sets of triple-expansion engines, in separate compartments, actuating twin screws, each screw being propelled by direct-acting engines having cylinders of inches, 51 inches and 78 inches diameter, with a common stroke of 48 inches, indicating, together with the engines for air and circulating pumps, a collective horse-power of 000, when making about 120 revolutions a minute. Five boilers, two and two single, four water-tight compartments, will generate the necessary a pressure of 180 pounds to the square inch.

There no speed premiums, a penalty of $10,000 a knot being imposed for failure to reach the of sixteen knots for four consecutive hours. If the speed falls below fifteen knots, which is highly improbable, the vessel may, in the President's discretion, be rejected altogether. The main features of the Kearsarge's design involve the following dimensions: Length of load water line, 368 feet. Beam, extreme, 72 feet 2.5 inches. Freeboard, forward, 14 feet 3 inches.

Freeboard, aft, 12 feet 3 inches. draft, with 410 tons of coal, 23 feet 6 inches. Corresponding displacement, 11,500 tons. Speed, per hour, 16 knots. Indicated horse-power, 10,000.

Total coal supply, loose stowage, 1,210 tons. Torpedo tubes, two each broadside, one in stem. To serve the batteries, 481 ton of ammunition will be habitually carried on each ship, distributed as follows: Thirteen-inch -loading rifles, 200 rounds. Eight-inch breech-loading rifles, 500 rounde-inch rapid-fire rifles, 3,500 Six-pounder rapid-fire rifles, 10,000 rounds. roone-pounder rapid-fire rifles, 24,000 Each magazine is intended to contain 208.000 rounds of 45 caliber cartridges, to be fed into the insatiable maws of the four Gatlings, each capable of discharging 1,500 shots a minute; 109,000 rounds of .236 caliber nickeled pellets for the repeating rifles with which Jack Tar a and the marines will shortly be equipped, and 38,000 rounds of 38 caliber ball cartridges for the self-cocking long naval revolvers to pee useful in boarding an enemy.

Eight Whitehead torpedoes will ordinarily be stored ready for launching, and for landing purposes a mounted regulation field gun has not been omitted. It is conservatively estimated that the Kearsarge, in commission, will have sufficient ammunition aboard to kill or disable over a million persons, and that she will be able to fire it all away within five hours--the calculated duration limit of a fierce fight afloat. Every comparison of these ships with any foreign battleship, built or building, is clearly favorable to the American design. The United States ships will carry heavier guns and more of them, and heavier armor, more widely distributed and protecting more thorcughly the vitals of the ship and gun crew. While their normal speed of sixteen knots will be less on paper than that of some foreign battleships, it is notable that it will be obtained with a very moderate forced draft for a period of four hours and without unduly pushing the engines, that at any cur vessels, foreign battleships time this velocity can duplicated by ously never again approaching their 1888 notorisingle-measured mile trial speeds.

The United States has never fallen into this error with its battleships, but in every case has required that the maximum contract speed should be obtained under conditions which could be reproduced at any time upon a welldrilled ship. As illustrative of this point, the Indiana, upon her recent official trial run, although she had been in water for over a year, and presumably lost half a knot through the roughness of her bottom, due to accumulated marine growth, still averaged a 15 1-2 knot rate four hours, the contract requirement being fifteen only. The Indiana class may prove to be really 16- knot ships, and battleships Nos. 5 and 6, with about the same extreme speed, are adapted to maneuver in company with them. The Kearsarge, when using as bases of action ports having not more than 23 feet of water at their entrances, will be limited to 410 tons of coal, which will permit her to cruise 1,350 nautical miles at a 13-knot rate, or 2,000 miles at 10 knots per hour.

When operating from a deep-water harbor, however, her bunker-room is so ample that 1,210 tons can be rapidly stored in her, it being possible to dump that amount with the greatest ease into the bunkers without trimming or handling, and with this amount, for all ordinary contingencies, or for service in time of war along our coast, at a cruising velocity of 13 knots, she can steam nearly 4,000 miles, at the more leisurely 10-knot rate she can can go over 6.000 miles. In case it became necessary to send her greater distances she has provision to carry temporarily about 500 tons outside the bunkers, which would give her the incomparable limit of 9,000 miles. In general external appearance and arrangement battle-ships Nos. 5 and 6 will more nearly resemble the Indiana class than the Iowa; but the single huge tower of the Indiana will be replaced by two graceful military masts with fighting tops, and the Indiana's short smokestack will be lengthened to secure the development of more power and the maintenance of better speed when working under natural draft alone. Perhaps the most novel feature of these vessels, and the one which is distinctly in advance of any battle-ships in the world, is the unprecedented formidable secondary battery of fourteen 5-inch rapid-fire rifles, incased behind the protection of five inches of the best armor.

The 5-inch gun is the largest caliber that can be fired with extreme rapidity, and the protection given these guns is such that it could be penetrated by but few of with which any possible opponent: is armed. Experience in the between China and Japan clearly indicated the effective power of rapid-fire guns and demonstrated that to enable such guns to do their best work, they should have more protection than has heretofore been given them. The terrific destructive effects of the secondary battery can hardly be overestimated. At all ranges the big thirteen-inch "Peacemakers" in the turrets, with their half-ton projectiles, striking fairly, can smash to pieces anything afloat, and the eight-inch rifles, throwing explosive shells over a range of ten miles, are calculated to disconcert an enemy; but the five-inch battery is relied upon to thoroughly demoralize or finally annihilate him. Upon such a steady platform as the Kearsarge will supply, and on account of the rapidity with which the five-inch rifle may be accurately manipulated, naval experts are confident of their ability to drive consecutive shells into identical spots of a slowly moving target, one shot opening the path for its follower, five rounds having been fired from one of these guns in twenty-four seconds.

A literal hail of fifty-pound explosive projectiles from these fourteen guns would riddle the vulnerable parts of any war vessel and speedily force it out of action. Such are the vessels for which bids will be opened next Saturday, November 30th, and which, according to the contracts, must be delivered to the Government by the end of 1898. R. L. F.
