only at night during the day they are

and looks like a fat board He sits upon
another plank with reversible legs and

the hooks in the ceiling which at night

The Olympia is 344 feet inches long and
So feet wide. The immense motive power
of the cruiser monopolizes at least half of
her available space. There are thirty EIGHT
engines aboard, and every movement that
can dispense with the labor of hands is
accomplished with steam and electricity.
The vessel has a displacement of $3.50
tons. To drive this mass of metal through
the water at a speed of 2l.6S knots, which
she achieved on her trial trip, requires
every atom of the II 300 horsepower which
her engines developed in the official test.

large and is fitted up with all those luxuri-
Gus conveniences which are provided IN the
best hotels.
The woodwork in the admiral's room and
in fact in all the parts of the cruiser de-
voted to the officers quarters Is OF pr1ma-
vera or white mahogany from Mexico,
while the paneling is of sycamore, with
carvings of teak.
It is said that no vessel III the United
States navy has such luxurious fittings
provided for its officers as the Olympia.
English men-of-war are no doubt effective,
but invariably the officers have to be con-
tent with plain surroundings. A British
admiral visiting the Olympia would be
amazed at the luxury provided for Ameri-
can sailors. There is an old Scotch song
which tells of
Where freedom expires amid softness and signs.
On the same deck with the admiral
quarters are the offices OF the ship Ell suite,
and lighted by electricity
In the admiraPS cabin there is one of
those great 5-inch rapid-firing breech-load-
ing guns guarding the port and starboard
sides of the forward part OF the vessel.
The commanders cabin is similarly sup
piled.
Below the main deck is the berth deck
and aft are the apartments OF the petty
officers of the ship.
1t is interesting to observe how scien-
tifcally the small space provided has been
utilized so as to contain the largest num-
Der of conYeniences. 1t occurs to one on

SHE HAS FOUND A OLEW.

Mrs. BOwles Thinks She Knows who
Stole Howard's Money.
The theft of $500 from bureau-drawer
in the room occupied by Gustav Howard at
S35 Post street about two weeks ago has de-
veloped a new sensational feature Mrs.
Durando, or Mrs. Bowles as she now calls
herself, the landlady who was accused and
arrested for the theft and afterward &C.
quilted, has discovered clew through the
courtesy of another landlady, who lives in
Oakland.
There were two ladies, Mrs. Frank
Bracket and her sister, Miss Ray Pome-
roy, both of whom were on terms of init
mate friendship with Howard and his wife
and had access to their room. They fire.
quently called and on several occasions
went into Howard room when he and his
wife were absent.
Mrs. Mary Ann Appel is the Oakland
landlady in the case. She swore out war
rants for the arrest of Mrs. Bracket and
Miss Pomeroy, charging them with grand
larceny. She AYERS that the two women
used TO have rooms in her house across the
bay and that they stole a brooch and other
jewelry belonging to her. Mrs. Appel has
volunteered the information that Mrs.
Bracket and Miss Pomeroy have recently
had some English sovereigns in their
possession. Howard lost eighteen such
coins, which were part of the $500 stolen
from him.
And that is the reason why Mrs. Durando-
Bowles is jubilant and believes that she
can locate the thieves who caused her to be
arrested and prosecuted.

officers and men, in months time she
ought to be able to pass out of the Golden
Gate completely equipped for whatever
services may be required.
But it is more than likely that the flag
ship OF the Pacific squadron viii continue
at Mare Island for months before she sails
on her mission of peace or war.
The Olympia requires $50 men, exclusive
OF the officers, and at the present time that
number of drilled men are not to be had
unless some other vessels are kept out of
commission and their crews drafted into
the cruisers force. 1t is understood further
that the 5000 men allowed by law for the
navy, and which number cannot be ex-
ceeded except by special act of Congress,
are now enlisted. A bill has been intro
duced authorizing an additional 1000 men,
but If the bill fails to pass. the Olymia, the
Oregon and several other ships now build
ing and about complete must remain with
out crews. The immense size of the Olym-
pla IS not apparent as she floats. Only by
comparison can a proper idea of this
cruisers magnitude be determined.
Could the Olympia be placed on Mont
gomery street, for instance, with her PROV
even with the CALLS Office on Clay street,
her rudder would project far beyond Sacra-
mento street and nearly as far as California
street. Her width would just about fill
the street. while her superstructure deck
WouId project ABOVE most OF the four-Story
buildings which line Montgomery street,
and the top of her conning-tower would
be higher than any building in the neigh
borhood.
Outwardly the cruiser is simply a great
ship, painted white, with smokestaeks of
yellow. Apparently there is not a SINGLE
outline or object that betrays any effort
at ornamentation. Only the ratings and
the upper deck are of polished brass; all
the rest is bare almost to ugliness.
In the interior, however, the case is
different. As the flagship She will bear
the pennant of an officer of high degree
and he has to be housed in fitting man,
ner in keeping with the great responsible
ties of his rank and in a way creditable to
the Government of which he is a repre-
sentative.

main deck, and include space equal to
1000 square feet. His retiring-roon ia

st. Andrews Society Gives q Very
Pleasant Entertainments.
The st. Andrew Society gave literary
and musical entertainment at Scottish
Hall, los Larkin street, last night, the oc-
casion being the one hundred and thirty
sixth anniversary of Robert Burns birth.
The attendance was quite large, taxing
the capacity of the hall, in fact, and the
programme proved exceptionally enter
tanning.
An overture by the orchestra was fol-
lowed by the opening remarks of the presi-
dent of the society, William Nicol. James
Niven then sang "There Was ad4ad Was
Born in Kyle in very good voice, and
Mrs. L. NJ. Smith gave very pretty Scotch
melody, after which the Rev. John d.
Hemphill was introduced as the orator of
the evening.
Mr.. Hemphill paid glowing tribute to
Scotland and Scotsmen in general, and to
Robert Burns in particular, describing him
as a man possessed of many virtues and
whose life was we'll worthy of emulation.
The speaker mentioned with pride the fact
that he himself was of Scotch descent, and
loved the land and all that pertained to it.
MARY Morrison, as sung by Miss Edythe
E. Henderson, duet by Mrs. l.. M. Smith
and w. Carlton Cook and pianoforte
selection by Miss Margaret O'Keefe were
all we'll received, and a recitation, Tam o.
Shanter," by John II. Bole, met with mer-
tied applause.
Two songs, my Hearts in the High
lands" by Mrs. /. S. Anderson, and Corn
Rigs" by w. Carlton Cook, pleasantly
concluded the exercises.
The floor was then cleared and the young
people enjoyed a pleasant season OF dancing
for several hours.
