Old Song. Before the Queen.

A very pleasing innovation was intro
duced in a musical programme rendered
before the queen at Osborne house a
night or two since which deserves note.
Nine. Nordica and Mr.. Plunket Greene
were the vocalists, with Sig. Tosti as ac-
companist on the piano, and in addition
to the accustomed repertory there were
given two old Irish songs arranged by
DIR. Villiers Stanford, an old Scotch
song arranged by Miss Lucy Broad
wood and an old Cornish song, where
Be GoingY' arranged by Mr.. Arthur
Somervell, all being sung by Mr.. Greene.
The introduction of this last into q royal
programme may be considered due to
the labors of the Rev. Sabine Barring
Gould, the well known novelist. whose
collection OF the words and tunes OF the
half forgotten songs Of the west country
deserves all praise. Birmingham Post.

a Bear. . CAB and . ..serget..


On Sunday evening an amusing Incl
dent occurred in the Champs Elysees
quarter. A man named Haja, employed
by nj. Marseilie, wild beast tanner,
thought he had right to add 10 his
wages by exhibiting his masters bear in
the streets. With this object in view
Le installed the bear imam open cab, and
taking his seat beside the animal told
the coachman to drive to the Champs
Elysees. Thevehicle reached the Avenue
Victor Hugo, followed by q crowd Of
boys and young men, who by their de-
risive shouts attracted the attention OF
two sergents de vile. They stopped the
cab, and after ascertaining the truth
one of them got into the vehicle and or.
dered the cabman to drive to the nearest
police station. Thepresence of stranger
beside it so excited the bear that ny its
swaying backward and forward it very
soon upset the vehicle. The merrimeni
caused by the sight of the cabman, the
sergents de vile and the tanner sprawline
on the ground, with the bear almost
under the upset cab, can easily be i'm
agined. Paris Cor. London Standard.

ayss1eG sc..ces or france and Germany in
like comradeship; while as to the inter
mingled forces of England and America
the sight of them prompted Secretary
Herbert to say that Great Britain never
formally renounced the right of search,
ON account of which the war of 1912 was
fought, until 1858. but the two countries
have made peace at last, mutual good
will and respect have been testified in
many ways and never more significant
ly than at this naval review"
Yet it is not the peace note with which
the secretary closes. He insists, as his
conclusion, that in spite of Geneva arbi-
trations and Paris arbitrations, we have
not yet, found a safeguard against war.
"The Geneva arbitration was achieved
only after the terrific battles Of our civil
war had demonstrated to the world the
fighting capacity of our citizen soldiery.
If America would keep her own peace
with all the nations of the earth and
maintain her place in the vanguard of
civilization, she must be at all times pre-
pared for war, This is the lesson of
history emphasized by the rendezvous
and the review" We may add that such
lessons were wholly additional to the
original purpose of the ceremony, which
was to furnish some distinctly naval
pageant as the fittest possible form of
public festival in honor of the greatest
/, of voyages.
Indeed it may fairly be said that the
full benefits of this memorable pageant
were not universally recognized when ii
was planned. Even Mr.. Herbert him,
self. although member Of the house
naval committee, voted against the joint
resolution of congress which directed il
| to be held, but as its possibilities gradu
ally became apparent he headed the sue
cessful effort at a subsequent session tt
increase the appropriation for it to the
amount needed. The advantage derived
from bringing our own new ships~to
geSher for the first time in considerable
numbers has been exceedingly great, and
it has been increased by giving them tn,
opportunity to compare themselves no
only with each other, but with the picket
| warships of eight other nations.
| Still the great benefit Of the review
according to Secretary Herbert, has beer
in teaching what remains for the coun
try to do in it's naval preparations. -Nev

WATERMELON PARTIES.

y : kg
They Give Rise to New Questi Of Eth
49,. qnette In Maryland.
One of the things in societ 10 Cnr water
melon party. The new diversion was in
dulged in in Howard county, just above
Elhcott City, the other night, and from
the latest accounts it has broken out and
promises to become epidemic down in
Anne Arundel where the melons grow
in all sizes, species ana favors. Just
how a watermelon should be served at a
watermelon party is knotty question,
and it has caused considerable debate
and some little unfriendly controversy
among the Four Hundred of the melon
growing counties.
Some contend that it should be cut
crosswise. Others say it should be split
longitudinally and eaten without fork or
knife. This diversity of opinion may
relegate the melon party to the rear of
the picnic for the present season. as the
time of the fruit is limited now to few
weeks, but the latent element in favor Of
the pastime may break out again next
season, just as the ague does every year
down in Piney woods.
Another difficulty in the way of eat
ing a watermelon artistically is to get
clear of the seeds. 1t is said that ON one
occasion guest at one Of the parties in
sisted that it was proper to pick the
seeds out with the right index finger,
and If by accident one should get into a
guests mouth it should be swallowed.
A debate followed the proposition, in
which one man said he did not propose
| TO make watermelon patch of his in
ternal makeup by planting seeds in it.
The party broke up, and the hostess had
q lot of melons and an antipathy to such
parties left on her hands.
The outcome Of the new fad il puzzline
the people in uppertendoan in the cities
and villagesi and rural districts. From
| what could be gathered In the last few
days on the subjsct, the watermelor
party does not promise to be pro
nounced success. One or the great OBJ

Causes His Suspension

Washington, October 25.- Secretary
Herbert learned today, to his great sur
prise, that Rear Admiral Stanton, COM
manding the United States fleet IN Bra
yilian waters, had saluted the rebel adj
miral. For this act of discourtesy
towards friendly nation, Secretary Her.
bert, after consulting with the President
and the Secretary of State, ordered Rear
Admiral Stanton's detachment. Admi-
raj Stanton is ordered to turn over the
command of his squadron to Captain

French and Russians Again Went Wild
vowing Friendship.

Paris, October 25.-The following note
was communicated to the press this
morning in behalf of the visiting naval
officers: "Admiral Avelan and his Off
GERS have been deeply moved at the re-
ception they have met in the capital.
They offer to the Partisan populace a
sincere expression of their gratitude. All
they have seen and heardwill be faithfully
transmitted to Frances friends in Russia
and will remain forever engraven upon
the depths of their hearts. The Russian
officers wished to respond to the num-
berless tokens of sympathy they re-
ceived while in Paris. Time, however.
has failed, and they now beg all Paris
and the whole of France to accept their
fraternal friendship and most sincere
gratitude. They send forth to France all
the best wishes of their hearts,
The most notable feature at the gala
performance given last night at the op-
era in honor OF the visiting Russians was
the ballet, which is pronounced to have
been the finest ever produced in France.
Upon the conclusion of the performance
the artists, attired in Russian costumes
passed before the curtain, and were re,
received with frenzied plaudits bv the
spectators. One of the performers who
was dressed to represent Ivan the Terri

WANTED TO BLOW UP A FLEET.
The Escapade of an Eccentric Yankee in
the Harbor of Rio.

Washington, October 25.-Dr. Boynton,
the eccentric American, who was arrest
ed in the harbor of Rio Janeiro last
month, while navigating tug boat float
ing the British flag, and presumably
bent on blowing up the insurgent Brazil
ian feet with torpedo which he had on
board, is to be released from confine-
ment on the United States cruiser
Charleston, by direction of Secretary
Herbert, and brought back to this coun.
try.
Secretary Herbert said yesterday that
he would order the commander Of tine
Charleston to release DR.. Boynton when
Moody Boynton of Boston, relative
of the would-be destroyer, had sent
money to pay his passage from Rio to
the United States. Moody Boynton had
made representation to the department.,
the Secretary said, which had induced
him to take this action.
1t is learned that the promise of DIR.
Boynton's release was secured by Josiah
Quincy, ex-Assistant Secretary of State,
and Representative Everett of Massachu-
setts, who had become interested in the
matter through the efforts of Moody
Boynton. The last named showed to the
satisfaction of Secretary Herbert that
DR.. Boynton was not mentally RESPONSE
BILE, and that his relatives would see that
he caused no more embarrassment to
the United States in its diplomatic rela-
tions with Great Britain and Brazil.
1t is said at the State Department that
nothing has been received concerning
the report from Montevideo that Freder-
ick Guilherme de Lorena has been pro-
claimed Provisional President of Brazil
by Admiral Mell,.
