The BradIey-Mar Ball Proves Equal to
All ExpectatiOns-A Lavish Display of
Wealth.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Bradley
Martin fancy dress ball took place last
evening in the ball room of the Wal
dorf hotel. The scene was OF bewil-
dering enchantment, veritable fairy
land, resplendent with all that wealth
and taste could command, and graced
by the presence of many hundred men,
bers of the fashionable set. AS a
superb social function it has had no
parallel in America.
Perhaps there were 700 guests pres
ent, all gorgeously garbed in silks
and satins bedecked in diamonds. Al
most every character of note in the
times of Louis XIV. and XIV. was per-
sonated. They presented imposing fig
ures, dancing in the stately minuet OF
whirling in the waltz. The Marie An
toinette ladies predominated. Ameri
cas- historical notables seemed badly
neglected. Aside from the beauty O
the costumes, interest centered in the
display of jewels. There is no estimat
ing their monetary worth, but they
represented vast fortunes. Many o
the women seemed ablaze with gems
After the guests had assembled the,
descended the flower-strewn stairway
to the reception parlor on the mail
floor. AS they passed through tn
archway they were met by Mrs. Brad
ley Martin, who stood beneath cano
py of rich tapestries and floral effects
Mrs. Martin wore costume of tn
Queen Elizabeth period. She wa
adorned with all her magnificent jew
els, including her famous robe of dia
monds.

ONCE OUT OF SIX TIMES.

The Dynamite Cruiser Vesuvius succeeds
I'm One Attempt to Run the blockade at
Charleston, but Fails in Other Trials
CHARLESTON. S. c., Feb. l5.-They |
say down at Admiral Bunces fleet that
1t was neither fair nor an Official
test, but the fact still remains that the
Vesuvius ran the blockade into the
harbor Friday night with an ease that
startled the squadron. The orders for
the ships to fall into the blockading
line were signalled from the hagship
bit earlier than usual. The four ships
then on duty, the Maine, New York,
Indiana and Columbia, steamed to the
southwark, taking positions at inter-
walls of 5000 yards. The Vesuvius drew
away to the south and was soon lost IN
the fog.
The weather had been bad for sew
eral DAYS and fog settled down upon
the face of the water that kept every
fog bell out beyond Sumter ringing. At
Z o'clock the test was well begun. The
blockading ships brought their search
lights into play and it was then for the
first time that they began to realize
how small was their chance of detect
ing the Vesuvius. The lights, which
usually threw brilliant path of radi-
ance for 5000 yards over the water.
proved utterly inadequate to the task
of penetrating the fog. Objects 800
wards away could scarcely be distin-
guished with the aid of the most pow
erful of the search lights, and when 1T
is remembered that the ships were
5000 yards apart it will be readily
imagined that the Vesuvius had every
thing her own way.
Saturday nigst the Vesuvius made
five unsuccessful attempts to run the
blockade The conditions were exact
ly reversed from Friday night, as the
air was free from fog or mist and the
search lights worked perfectly. For
stretch of nine miles the waters of the
Atlantic in front of Charleston harbol
bristled with Uncle Sans floating fort'
and cleaned with the restless arrows
of dozens of search lights. From thu
Beach channel on the north to Pump
kin Hill channel on the south the fee
had the line in the following order
Massachusetts, Maine, Amphitrite
New York, Indiana and Columbia. Th
line was established at o'clock ant
the Vesuvius was sent out to sea. Th
search lights began at once to play owe
the waters.
1t was about 7;85 when light iron
the Maine stopped in it's wandering
and streamed along steadily upon on
spot. The cause was soon known. Sh
had caught the Vesuvius A red an
green sgnal told the tale and tn
il hts Of the fleet turned upon tn
spot brought the white hull of TIL
cruiser into full view. The Vesuviu
then went to sea again for anothe
trial. The next time she got past tn
line and was nearly out of DANCE
when the light of the Amphitrit
caught her. Three other attempt
were made and each time the blocRad
runner was quickly caught.

and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
TO get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the eXtraor,
dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine you
