AFTERNOON SESSION.
After Dark.

A very good house WAS present lest
evening to witness the rendition of
the scenic melo.drams, "After Dark. T"
by the Brady company. Owing to the
fact that the party had TO catch the
west bound train, the plsy WAS put
through with . rush and doubtless
much cut. but what was given was
very acceptable, and the attempts al
scenic display, though marred to some
extent by the cramped stage accom-.
modation.. were very creditable. The
lsdies Of the company. two 10 number,
were no, only good looking but good
actresses. aud the mae contingent
was, with one or two exceptions, good
also. The slueging match in the con-
cert hall scene was quite exciting and
much more interesting than the al
legged professional et-to's We have
been favored with. As . whole. the
show is good one. ard with adequate
stage accommodations must prove
very exciting.

her needless friskinesso of nature. There

sure TO be noted and commented upon.
Mile. Jeannine. on the contrary, is

pronounced in her countenance than
they are in that Of Dumas himself.
This is often the case with physical
peculiarities, which will overleap one
generation TO come out in a marked
form in another. Since the crisp.
curly hair Of Dumas turned gray he
has entirely lost every vestige Of his

In referring to the nomination of
Mr.. Chas. +. Brown by the 'c,tizens' "
convention Of Wednesday night. we
said that it was more than doubtful
that Mr.. Brown would accept. We

Mr.. Brown was not n man togo befor-

movement and had withdrawn from

strength Of the ticket was gone, and

feeling of depression. Hoping against
hope, q subcommittee visited Mr..

III now lies at peace ut the navy yard.
DHer days Of seagoing activity are past.
She has breasted her last storm, and, in
seaman's parlsnce, has weathsred her last gale.
After long and active life she now has sought
this quiet corner of the yard, there to end
her days in rest and peace. Her days of
usefulness, however, are by no means past,
and, though she may not take the same interest
in the busting affairs of outside life and be at
hand if necessary to take an active part in
some great naval parade or battle, she still has
her share of work to do. Nor is it q mean and
trivial work. She is now used as q receiving
ship for the yard here. an important though
perhaps not an ambitious task, but one that il
worth doing we'll The Dale is not so much
spoken of In naval circles today perhaps as
she was a half century ago. Then she was
new and well up with the times as q first
class sailing vessel. Today the stream Of pro-
gress in naval matters has left her far astern.
She would have no chance now in squadron
of evolution. Big iron vessels with engineers
and grimy stokers in the place of natty jack
tars with their picturesque blue uniforms have

sloops of war, and these are now considered

uses still and try to perform their tasks in

In about the middle Of this space is small
deck house which il now used as an Office and
it il here that the executive officer Of the ship
reads the articles aloud to the landsman who ID
about entering the navy. Such an event was
taking place when the reporter entered the
office. The aspirant had been carefully ex-
amined by surgeons and decided to be sound
quired ages and a. he was able to read and
write there was nothing to prevent his
acceptance. After the lieutenant had
read the articles the man signed them,
agreeing to serve in the navy for
a period of three years. He was then turned
over to the tender mercies OF an inferior officer,
who inquired into the state of his wardrobe and
his requirements in that direction. The new
man drew . suit Of sailors uniform on account

sailor does not need an extrsvagant wardrobe,
but oil that he has IL generally of . good
quality. He must have heavy pea jacket for
winter wear, suit for ordinary wear, a suit Of
mastering clothes for Sunday and inspection
use. In summer he dresses all in white. Very
few sailors ever draw full suits of clothes from
the shop chest They generally take simply the
cloth, which they get at very satisfactory
terms, and then cut out and sew their own gar

hands are tailors as we'll, and are
expert with the needle. They make all their
own underclothing, too, and when they have

THE SPAR DECK.

The entrance to the ship is by = wide stair
way, or more properly speaking, gang plank,
which leads up to an opening in the side which
might almost be called . front door. This en-
trance leads directly upon gun deck. This
il large space with very little to break the
stretch Of deck flooring 1t is used principally
for exercises in drilling. marching and the use
of small arms. At one end q large range
with several white-capped cooks at work around
it has pleasant and welcome look for the new
man just coming on board. The movements OF
the cooks at work gave promise Of q satisfactory
event in the near future for the men who are
lucky enough to belong to the crew Of the

monotony in the bills of fare, but when the
ships are IN yard the men have little or no
cause for complaint on that score. The Navy
