4 Brilliant Scene on the Decks Of
the New York.
ADMIRAL SICARD AND OFFICERS
ENTERTAIN CITIZENS.
The Ship Turned Into a Ball Room-Flags
of All Nations Enclose It-Electric
Lights in Profusion-some of Those
Who We're Present.


Saturday evening the officers of Admir-
al Sicard's flag ship, the cruiser New
York, entertained the members of the city
government and others of their Portland
friends at a dance on the spacious deck
of the vessel. 1t was large party which
was conveyed to the ship in the launches
which left the Grand Trunk wharves at
frequent intervals after eight o'clock. AS
the guests approached the vessel they saw
the gangways outlined in electric lights
and the flashing of the light from the
flagship and the other members of the
squadron made picture which those who
saw it will long remember. The guests
were received at the gangway by one of
the ships officers who directed them to
the rooms used as places for the laying
asideof wraps. Then the visitors
were conducted to the after
oompanionway, at the head of which on
the deck stood the admiral and his Off
GERS. The presentations were made by
Captain c. II. West, chief of the admiral
staff. Then the guests had time to loo k
around them. They found that the after
deck of the ship had been converted into
ball room of generous dimensions. It's
walls and sloping roof were composed
entirely of the flags of all nations and the
stanchions which supported this awning
were entwined. with flags. Along the
center support and at the sides were
hundreds of electric lights which made
brilliant the pretty scene. In the midst
of the room the great guns of the after tur-
ret projected over the deck, a grim re-
minder Of the place which had been trans
formed into this scene of gayety. The
dancing began early and the scene was a
bril- liant one, the gay dresses Of the ladies
and the bright uniforms of the officers
contrasting with the sober black of the
dress suits of the Portland men. Excel
lent music for the dance was furnished by
the ships orchestra, who in their red uni
forms were stationed at the extreme
stern. There was an order of II dances
and the names were appropriate to the
occasion, There for instance was the
march 1.-THE Pride of the Navy" the
waltzes, Dream of the Ocean, and
'sOve1 the Waves, ''and the two step 'sThe
Stars and Stripes Forever" The dance
concluded with waltz, "Auf Weider-
sehn.' At about ten o'clock the ward
room was thrown open and lunch was
served. The sailors seemed to enjoy the
dance as much as the officers and their
guests and they could be seen watching

THE LOSS OF THE LIZA JANE.


 It was nightr-midnigtht--not at Asbury i Park, but on the rolling ocean off Cape 1 Horn. The ocean had been rolling more l or less for three days-three days of ter ! rife tempest which had tossed the good i ship Liza Jane as bull losses d yellow ! pumpkin when he's fighting mad. The Liza Jane rolled and staggered and plunged forward into the gigantic waves which broke on her bows and sent the spray flying fifty feet high The men on deck had to cling to life lines, and the carpenter stood rsady with a hunk of putty to stop a leak at the peril of his life. Even the cook, who had been at sea six months, had never seen such storm in all his born days. Not one man of all that crew had the slightest hope of ever reaching New York and dining at Delmonico's.
 Of a suddenahe captain and mate were missing from the deck. Two minutes lat ter they-were discovered seated at the cabin tabis The crew thought they had gone to colEsallts the chart, but that's where the werews didn't sniff the right brand of snuff

 Shiver my tfmbers, but what'll you do?"
 'Tl bet s10," calmly replied the mate, as the gale above them seemedt to increase in intensity.

MART HA,"
''The Morning Glory" Masterpiece, Beautiful, Charming and Perfect g.
 A Marvel of Artistic Work.

- Much has been said in the local press of the celebrated painting, Martha, the Morning Glory" and yesterday evening it was mounted and placed on exhibition a 1926 Second avenue.
 Through the courtesy of the manage msnt, the State-Herald critic was allowed an opportunity to gaze upon the marvel ous work of art Beautiful, charming, perfect are but mild terms to use in de scribing the divine handiwork of the master hand. A word about the picture, The bedchamber of an humble home is seen. In one corner an old-fashioned bedstead with canopy and mosquito bar. The covering is thrown awry as if a person had just risen. Even the dent in the dainty, snowy pillow is noticed. In the other corner table stands, plush covered and small prayer book on top. A chair stands by with dainty under wear carelessly lying thereon. In the center stands Martha" a dream of womanly loveliness unadorned. Perfect is the model In fact 'twere hard to find one so exquisite.y proportioned A poet has said, Beauty unadorned is most adorned" and his words are veri- fled in this poem of perfection. The rose ate rays of old Sol, as he rises from his eastern bed, kisses the divine figure, standing as if 'twere a bas relief the flesh tints perfect and true to life. Some might imagine the picture vulgar, but there is nothing suggestive of the vulgar in the innocently beautiful face and form he gazeS upon.
 A companion of the critic asserted that the background was a piece If art work, but the figure separate and distinct. His illusion was dispelled, however, by the gentleman in charge, who proved to the satisfaction of his guests that the figure. with it's beautiful light background, was one piece of canvas touched up by the master hand of mere lad in years. The picture is a work of art, and can only be appreciated by the lovers of the beau- tiful

AN AGE OF FUN.
Baltimore American,

It really seems that this century is go- ing out in craze for amusement. The curious fact is that the last century end- ed in a similar manner. As printers of newspapers to supply what the people want, we have observed this steadily rising desire, and so in the American n from day to day, and especially on Sun days, there are more jokes, more light matter, more pictures with laugh, than at any time in the papers history We do not think that this is to be deplored. The more the people laugh the better they work. Light hearts and willing hands accomplish results. More is being done now, and more will be done in these end-of- -ths-centuiy years, than at any time in the age of the world and 1t will be all the better done if it is done with smiles, and not with tears.
