makes the goods unshrinkable and very
much more flexible and soft, while the

There is long list of corded poplins in
bayadere stripes, all black, of course. These
stripes are wrought by silk cords raised
above the surface in weaving. They vary
In size, and it is in this that the pattern is
wrought. The central cord in each stripe
may be straight and thick, with others
each side narrowing down to the surface,
while in Others the center cord may be
waved or zigzag with straight or waved
lines of narrower cord on each side But
however the arrangement is made the de-

next day Fort Fisher fell and the young

Henry O. Taylor, who is a brother-in-
law of Fighting Bob" Taylor is a
New Yorker and left the Naval academy
in 1868 in good time TO take a hand in
the Sumerous sea fights which the north
Atlantic blockading squadron engaged
in during the last two years of the civil
war.
Captain French E. Chadwick of the
flagship New York is West Virginian,
and he, too, left Annapolis just in time
to see active service. He comes Of q
notable family, in whose history there
are traditions Of patriotism and whose
members have never failed to be in the
front of the fighting when their country
called them. He was born in Morgan
town and entered the Naval academy in
1851. He was therefore a lad when Cap
tain Evans was distinguishing himself
in the south. The New York's COM
mander has filled many important posts
In the naval service and is a thoroughly
self contained type of officer. He was
serving in London as naval attache Of
the American embassy when ordered
home and given the command of the
flagship.
Captain Nicoll Ludlow Of the grim
looking monitor Terror graduated in
the same class with Captain Taylor.
He took part in several engagements in
southern waters, and at the close of the
war was assigned to the ironclad Mo-
nadnock when she made her famous
passage from New York to San Francis
co. The captains of three of the new
double turreted monitors in fact, were
classmates. Captain Purnell F. Harring.

clay of the Amphitrite left Annapolis
with Ludlow in 1868; so you see they
know each other fairly well.
Yes, it is safe TO say that Sampson s
captains are all fighting men, and we
are perfectly safe in pinning our faith
to them even if their recent perform
ances had not added to their laurels.
They are the kind of men who smile
when they fight, and smiling fighter,

Spain, and thence to the Asiatic countries,
including the two great oceans, the cable
routes and by whom owned and the tracks
of full powered steamers.
On the different maps the positions of
the fleets of the United States and Spain
are carefully marked by pin hags-red
flags representing the Spanish ships and
white flags the ships of the United States
Between the advices which come to him
by wire and the outline of the situation
which these maps and flags disclose the
president can follow pretty closely the de-
velopmont of affairs.
To the left of the entrance door is a large
bookcase and adjoining that is private
telephone booth, shutting off the noise of
the room for the special benefit of Secre
tary Porter, and in front Of that is the
private secretarys desk. 1t is In nowise
like the desk of busy newspaper man. A
glance shows it to be the desk of an Or
derly official.
But the most formidable piece of furni-
ture in the room is the operating desk Of
the chief executive clerk, Benjamin f.
Montgomery, who for 21 years has been
an essential part of the White House estab
lishment Mr.. Montgomery's war room
desk appears to a civilian as complicated
as the table Of logarithms does to a new
schoolboy. On one side Of it there is a
movable board of telegraphio instruments,
including keys, relays saunders and
switch. This board is subject to immedi
ate connection with telegraphic instru-
ments around the world. Just in front of
II there Is a typewriter all ready to catch
the messages that come from the keys, On
the left of the desk is long distance tele
phone ready TO connect with every other
long distance telephone in the United
States. In the center Is graphophone,
into which Mr.. Montgomery talks mes
sages when there is convenient no operator
to take them and no stenographer to whom
they can be dictated
Adjoining the desk on the left is series
Of private telephones Underneath are
signal bells connected with the desk of ev
cry employee In the building Besides
there are drawers, pigeonholes, letter files
and what not of a regulation Office desk.
In this room there are 20 telegraph
wires, IS special telephone wires, the
wires Of the Railway Exchange, and the
long distance telephone system connecting
with New York, Chicago and every other
place having long distance telephone.
Exclusive direct wires connect with the
senate and with all the cabinet offices.
The telegraph operators work in relays so
that at no hour Of the night or day is the
room empty.
Such are some Of the arrangements by
which the commander in chief Of the army
and navy is kept in touch with our fleets

Then there is long line of exceedingly
handsome stuffs illuminated with fancy
figures wrought by the weaver with the
same threads that go TO make up the body
of the fabric. The most Of these have o
sateen finish, with the figures showing
above the smooth stuff Dots of various
sizes seem to be favorites, but there are so
many designs that it Is difficult to single
out any. The most of the figures are
small, none over an inch long. These are
all wool
Then come the bayadere effects. These
are in mohair and silk and silk and wool
aud have fine zigzag lines across the fabric
composed of cords Of different sizes, some-
times several in one pattern There is one
lot of samples Of this kind where you could
crush yard of 1t in the palm of your
hand, so soft 1t Is, and yet spread out It Is
indescribably rich. There are many differ
ent patterns wide and narrow, waved,
zigzagged and Greek key patterned, but no
one of the lines is over half an inch wide
with the same space Of plain cloth be-
tween. Most of them are very close.
Black silk warp henrietta and eudora
are both shown with confidence, rs they
are among the staple goods They are the
same now as they were, perfect, and will be
worn by those who like plain surfaced
goods, Mohalr brilliantines are also Of
fered, plain and illuminated, with small
woven figures. But the greatest novelty
is that many of the very finest Of the fall
black goods have been rendered waterproof,
like the English Grape, by some process of
manufacture.
Among the new goods thsS treated are
the fine diagonal whipcords, the satiny
surfaced prunella, the imperial serges, sew
eral weaves In cheviot and most Of the COW
erts, The cravanettes are woven like
serge, but not quite so harsh, and they are
absolutely impervious to water. Not one
Of these goods has any smell of rubber or
appearance of 1t, the process being some
thing done to the textile before 1t is woven,
and 1t is quite as porous as ever.
1t seems to me that the time must come
when all our outdoor apparel, even to hats,
will be treated in this way, and there is
no reason why mems garments should not
be made waterproof too. When we see
these exquisite goods and learn that they
can be worn in a pouring rain, it almost
seems as If the millennium has arrived.

As FOR "Fighting Bob Evans, every
one knows that he well deserves the I'll
tie, although it is one which causes him
no little embarrassment, for he is with
al modest man On one of the many
occasions when Captain Evans was ask.
ed TO tell how he earned the sobriquet
he made this characteristic reply;
1T do not like the subject, he said
"I never courted that kind of distinc-
tion in the service l am simply cap
tain in the navy. am no more of a
fighter and no more entitled to that ii.
tie than any other officer.
Was not that spoken like true hero?
Probably because of his nickname and
on account of sundry sulphurous epi-
grams which from time to time have
been ascribed TO him and which, by
the way, have vastly tickled the Amer
ican funny bone, Evans is the best
known man of his rank in the navy.
The most popular of these Evansisms
was made more than year before the
blowing up of the Maine and was that
one in which he declared that if he
could be turned loose on the Spaniards
he would soon make Spanish the court

Although the portraits of Captain
Evans make him appear boyish, he real
ly looks every one of the 55 years which
have passed since he first saw the light
in Virginia. On the bronzed, smoothly
shaven face there are fine lines which
the photographer rubs out But he is
robust, vigorous man. As he PAGES the
quarter deck of the Iowa he walks with
a slight limp. 1t is not rheumatism, but
a musket ball which causes that limp
and the story of how it came to get into
his left leg, more than all the other
Evans anecdotes, is worth the telling
The incident happened during the
storming of Fort Fisher. Evans was
then a midshipman and had been grad
uated from the Naval academy one year
ahead of his time When the sailors and
marines had been landed, storming
party of about 100 men was told off and
volunteers asked for to lead it.

of their navies as that now under Samp-
sons orders. OF course there is q reason
for this. With the exception of the jap
nnese and the Chinese, we Americans
have done about all the sea fighting that
has been done during the last half of
the century. During our civil war we
rose to a point where had we so desired
we could have ruled the seas In point
Of fact, little more than 80 years ago
we were supreme on the ocean.
Those same men who learned the les.
son then are very much alive today, not
all of them, but enough to go around.
They are chief in command on the quar-
ter decks of our warships Not only have
they the courage of their race, but they
have the wisdom of experience to guide
their valor. Spain has no such men.
Neither has England, Russia, France or
Germany so many men who can be said
to have had actual experience in sea
fighting.
So it is not mere jingoism which
prompts US TO put our faith in Sampson
and his fighting captains. We know
they are battle tried, every one. We do
not have to guess whether or not they
have the kind of courage which takes q
calm brain, clear eyes and steady mus.
oles into action.
&, There is Commodore Watson, for in

the blockading squadron when he went
scouting for the Spanish feet and stop
ped to give the Spanish gunners at San
Juan an object lesson in Yankee marks
manship.
When Farragut started to run past
the Confederate forts below New Or
leans one April day in 1862, an incident
occurred which is of some interest to us
even at this late day. Just as the flag
ship, the good old Hartford, was oppo-
site Fort St. Philip and only a few
hundred yards distant, the 9 inch
guns of the land batteries roared out a
vicious welcome.
One Of the effects Of their fire was to
cut away the mainsail sheet brace. 1t
was something which must be repaired
at once. The order was given to go aloft,
but with the iron hail rattling through
the Hartford S rigging it seemed certain
death. The old Jackies paused, as well
they might, seeing the yards cut into
splinters at every round. Meantime the
Hartford was swinging round, bow to-
ward the fort.

ALL WIRES RUN TO 1T
THE WHITE HOUSE WAR ROOM A
STORM CENTER OF NEWS.

How the President Can Direct the Move
ments of the Army and Navy From the
Executive Mansion--Connected by Tele-
graph aud Cable with All the World.
The most interesting spot in the United
States just now is the White House war
room. 1t is the storm center of war news.
Into IL comes information from every part
Of the world concerning the doings of our
fighting men on land and sea-
This war room is a now feature of the
executive mansion. 1t has been recently
fitted up for the purpose. Telegraph and
telephone wires by the dozens have been
brought in, operators have been established
at tables and war maps hung on the walls
The room was formerly the office of the
presidents s private secretary, but although
Mr.. Porter still occupies 1t he has lots Of
company.
When President Mckinley steps into
this room, he Is as much at the front as IL
he had the gift of omnipresence and could
be with the army Of Cuban invasion, with
Dewey at Manila and with each of the
squadrons on the high seas at one and the
same time. In the war room he can put
his hand on the throttle of the complicat-
ed engine Of war and control its move
ments.
Whenever prize is captured, an enemy
sighted, port bombarded or q battle
fought, the news Is clicked into this long,
narrow room, and from there 1t filters out
to the outside world as soon as discretion
allows
1t Is in the warroom that the war orders
are given. Complete electrical connec-
tions such as have never before been en-
nI,t
in time of war have been established, and
where the wires cannot run other means
of communication patch the gaps. For
instance, the president after consultation
with his cabinet and the naval board of
strategy decides to send important orders
to fleet admiral The man he wishes to
reach is far out at seq But this is no
obstacle. The order is put into the naval
cipher, telegraphed to n half dozen seacoast
points, and there displayed by semaphores
and signal lights Pretty soon q scout
ship, miles out at sea- discovers the signal.
She runs in near enough to read it, signi-
fies that she understands and then steams
off to deliver the message to the admiral.
The average war correspondent would
give his head for the privilege of collect
ing news in this room, but both the pry-
ing reporter and the inquisitive citizen are
barred out of this corner of the White
House. The war room is connected with
the presidents private Office and with the
cabinet ROOM 1t is in the southeast cor
ner of the White House with windows
overlooking the White Lot and the Poto-
mac.
The entire wall of the room opposite the
eastern exposure windows is covered with
maps which show every detail of the pres
ent and prospective scenes of military and
naval operations Chief of these is map
Of the world, taking in the West Indies
