BEFORE THE CAMERA.

No photographer can keep Della

gazes upward when her picture is be-
ing taken.
Edna Wallace Hopper when she is
photographed will take n smile, thank
you. She insists also upon a dash of
mischief in her eyes.
Annie Russell has not a line of vanity
in her makeup. Miss Russell is blessed
with Il strong. expressive face and Miss
Russell is sensible and pleasant, the
photo men say.
Lillian Russell is one of the best sub
jects the photographer ever had. She
does not think she knows more about
the camera than the artist at the ma
chine and allows him to pose her.
Maude Adams is natural. She has
nothing to conceal. nothing to affect.
Her pictures are Maude Adams, and
anyone who saw her would remember
her without the usual necessity of a
key in the shape of a name.
Olive Redpath, of THE French Maid
company, always makes her appear

path has a pretty. pretty dimple in her
cheek. You can never see it unless Miss
Redpath shows her teeth.

Louisiana Congressmen Urge Upon Secretary Long the Crescent
 City's Advantages.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Appar- ently there was no cessation to-day of the extraordinary activity which has prevailed at the Navy Department dur ing the past month. Now that many of the emergency preparations are we'll under way, more attention Is to be paid to the broader question of a plan of campaign in thA event of war. Under this head comes the establishment of a depot to be used as a base of supplies. and on this matter the commercial in- terests of the country are making them selves heard.
 Senato- McEnery and Representa- tiyes Meyer, Ogden and Davey of Lou isiana called upon Secretary Long to- day and supplemented. the representa- tionS of merchants who were here last week urging the selection of New Or leans as a base of supplies. They said the city, being situated some distance from the Gulf, was reasonably safe from attack by @ fleet, and, being a railroad center and situated on the Mississippi River, grain and other SUD- plies could be shipped there in great abundance. The Secretary did not commit himself
 The delegation also spoke to the Sec retary in regard to the defense of the city of New Orleans, but the Secretary expressed the opinion that with a for midable fleet in the Gulf and such for tifications as were already in existence. the city was well protected.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The work of overhauling the dynamite cruiser Ve- suvius, completing the work on her guns and fitting her for active service is almost finished, and she probabl, will be ordered to leave the Washing ton navy yard within the next two days It is thought she will go first to Norfolk and then proceed to south ern waters. The men are giving her a coat of black paint, preparatory to painting her dark green. The officers say that it is almost impossible to dis cover a vessel at night when painted with this color, even by means of @ searchlight One of the officers said, discussing the possibilities of hostili- ties:
 There Is one satisfaction about be- ing aboard a ship like this: In case we are struck right there will be no board of inquiry. and no trouble about divers, boat left big enough for a souvenir A boat of this style does fearful damage to her enemies or goes under in such order herself. Modern war will, in my opinion, be quick work, anyhow, and we represent the very quickest type of death dealing vessels afioat.'
