Thursday for Madison, Wis.
Miss Marian Treat left Wednesday for
her home in Chicago. She sang in
Beatrice and Lincoln and deepened the
very favorable impression made last
summer in Crete. She was tie guest OF
Mrs. Wslch while in Lincoln.
The week has BEEN characterized by
receptions. Mrs. Welch, Mrs. McCreery.
Mrs. Frank Hall and Debora Avery
chapter Of the Daughters Of the Revo!u-
at the home of Mrs. w. c. Henry having
given receptions on Tuesday, Wednee
day, Thursday and Friday. The com
pany came and went from 3 to 6. AMI at
the last mentioned hour they were still
coming out. Mrs. Welch's friends,
would otherwise have taxed the capac
ity OF the capacious house. Miss Welch,
Miss RICHTER, Miss Garten and Miss
Camp pasee ed punch from bower made
OF the porch, palms an | draperies. Miss
Treat, Of Chicago. assisted Mrs. WEIGH
in receiving her friends. The house
was generously decorated with roses
and sweet peas. The gowns were or
CANDIES ard open work summer goods
in mauve, pink and blue. and the effect
classified it as summer party.
Nearly the same people gathered at
Mrs. McCreeiy's g Oh the tolloxing after
noon. Same roses. came ladies, same
pleasant summer air and gowns.
The Deborah Avery Chapter rec p
tions have an undercurent OF dign fed
acceptance Of ances tors who lived and
fought worthily, and must be represent
ed by their descendants in the same
style. Mrs. w. C. Henry, at l4s, South
Twenty.seventh street, received her
guests with the quaint grace OF her
great, great grandmother.

several feet further north. By the time
they reached the shelter Of the pavilion

full Madame Charity.

A white marble mantel in some old
fashioned house is often a difficult OBJ
stacle to the furnisher who is striving
after harmonious effect. AS a woman
complained not long ago, there is no
cO2Xing such a mantel into the scheme
Of the room; it will assert itself, stand
ing out alone and cold, and the first
thing to be SEEM
which is got from a well known decor
ator, is to give the room a wainscot of
plain cartridge paper, mouse gray,
green, or a good art brown, bringing
it up to the height of the mantel, and
finishing 1t all around the room with a
narrow white moulding. Above the
mantel, cover the wall straight to the
ceiling with the same plain paper. The
mantel is then, in spite Of itself, a
part of the whole effect, and when a
platerack and pictures are hung above
it the harmony of the treatment is evil
dent.

INCREASED COST.

The new second lieutenants would re-
ceiVe 81, 400 each, the first lieutenants
$500, four captains of artillery $780,
the other captains $2,500 the majors
$500, the lieutenant colonels $4,000 and
the colonels $4,000. 1t makes the mouths
OF the cavalry officers water when they
see a, prospect of $461, ,000 a year being
added to the infantry and SIPS 200 a
year to the artillery pay roll while
the cavalry pay roll remains unchang-
ed.
In addition to this increase in the cost
of the army service Gt is $528, $3.50 when
you deduct 80 first lieutenants from the
artillery rolD, the reorganization pro-
poses $24400 for forage, $738, 156 for the
pay Of enlisted men, 5000. 1886 for clothing
end $27S,251 for subsistence for the new
enlisted men--a grand total in the an
nual cost of our military establish
ment of $1,770.073 This is an addition
Of 2-3 per cent to the present cost
of our army, and it is claimed that the
increase in the army's efficiency will
be 18 per cent-certainly a good return
for the money if any increase in eff
cheney is needed.
The objections to an increase in the
navy used to come from Western con-
greSsmen and senatOrs-the very men
who were friendly to the army The
strongest advocates of the new navy
naturally enough were the men who
lived on the coast, and they have al
ways been the most earnest advocates
of large appropriations for coast de-
fenses. A great many events Of re-
cent years have helped the congressman
from the interior to a realization Of
the need for a strong navy. The pros
pect of trouble with Spain over Cuba
and the Venezuelan difficulty with
England were potent arguments for the
new navy, and there is better feeling
toward naval appropriations now than
congress has had at any time since the
war.
But the army stands on a different
footing congressman do not see so
clearly the value Of the army for de-
fense Nothing has happened yet to
bling it home to them. A few years
ego the army was needed to suppress
Indian uprissings. Now the danger of
Indian attacks is very slight, and a
new use has been found for the army

A CoonerntIve Enort.

A Minneapolis man once invited a
friend TO dine with him, and neglected
TO telephone his wife to that effect.
In order TO make matters worse, both
host and visitor stopped in at the club
on tho way home, and consequently
were late for dinner-very late. The
dilatory husband undertook 10 explain
his tardiness while dinner was being
served and put up a rather over
plausible defense in the line c.f busi-
ness complications coming up at the
very last moment before he should have
left the office. The hostess heard him
with ominous politeness and then calm
ly said; Perhaps, but you really can't
look me in the eye and tell that story"
Mono" stammcred the culprit; and
then, as a brilliant idea struck him,
"but I tell you what I win do: II John

GrNNNRY PRACTIcE.

An officer Of the United States navy
relates The following as Illustrating
some Of the peri,s of gunnery at sea:
II came very near going up INTO the
air in small bits on this last squadron
cruise We were at heavy gun prac-
tice at sea, and but for the quickness
of a gunner's mate would never have
returned AS YOU probably know. the
heavy guns in the turress are fred by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing a Eutton The offi-
Ger i'm command of the forward turret
on our ship during rapid firing prac-
tice was just about to press the button
to fire one of our big guns when gum
ner's mate was seen TO grab at some
thing on the wall of the turre. and then
fall in a heap ON the floor. The oifi-
Ger pressed the button. but the gun
was not discharged. When the mate
came TO he was asked what had hap
pened, and he informed the officer that
the breech of the gun had not been
locked and that what he grabbed at on
the wall was the wires forming the
electric firing circuit When he saw
that the officer was preparing to fire
the gun, and at the same time observed
|
| locked, the only thing that occurred to
| him to prevent The gun being dis
charged was 20 7froy the circuit,
which he did prUmpa,- I'd effectively.
| When all this occurred there was a
| charge Of 250 pounds of powder In the
| gun, another charge of the same size
| in the turret ready to be served, and
the passageway leading to the powder
| magazine was wide open But for the
quicl1ness Of the gunner's mate the gun
| would have been blown out inside the
| turrct, the gases from the burning
powder would probably have ignited
the charge lying in the turret, this cx-
plosion would have ignited the powder
in the magazine, and the chances ar,
that the whole ship, crew and all
would have gone up in the air"
thought that occurred to me Is this,
Suppose the accident had occurred
| what do you imagine the verdict Of Z
board of inquiry into the cause Of th'
loss Of the ship would have been
Since his experience the department
has adopted electrical means TO pre-
vent the discharge of any OF the larg'
guns until the hreech is locked.-Sal
