MARY Anderson as 3 Singer.


Madame de Navarro, who is none
other than our beautiful American
actress, Mary Anderson, of former
days, recently participated as vocal
list in a concert at the sleepy old Eng
fish village of Broadway, in the Cots
wolds, where she lives. Hence the
rumor, wholly unsubstantiated, OF her
intention to re-enter public life as a
singer. At Broadway Miss Anderson
has congenial friend and neighbor
in Miss Maude Valerie White, the
composer, who has taken great inter-
est in the development of the actress
singing voice-a full and deep con-
tralto flexible and of fine timbre.
When Miss White organized her con-
cert at the Lyon Arms-an antique
hosiery with memories OF King
Charles and Cromwell-Miss Ander-
son readily consented to assist. The
brilliant crowd Of country gentry,
loyal Broadwayites and enthusiastic
Americans who attended expected to
make due allowance for an amateur,
but the fair singer treated them to
genuine surprise. "Here," says the
. London Sketch, reporting the event
"was dramatic fire, variety OF ex
: preston, and above all, deep sense

Ladies' as Ship Masters.

Lady Ernestine Brudenell-B Bruce has
forwarded some correspondence which
has passed between herself and the
Board of Trade with reference to an
application recently made by her to be
examined for yacht masters certifi-
cate. On August IL last Mr.. Howell,
the Assistant Secretary to the Board,
wrote that the admission of ladies to
examination for certificates of COM
potency is not contemplated by the
regulations, and that the Board regret
that they cannot permit lady to be
examined for yacht masters certificate.
To this her ladyship replied that, as
the certificate is purely voluntary and
only entities her to command her own
property, she would submit that the
position was somewhat different to her
applying for an ordinary certificate OF
competency to enable her to serve IN
any ship, and therefore she consid-
cred it unfair to be debarred by rea.
son of her sex from obtaining certifi.
cate which could not be of any pecuni
airy benefit to herself, and the non
possession of which would not prevent
her from holding command of he1
yacht. Mr.. Howell having again do
clared the inability of the Board tt
give effect to Lady Ernestine's wishes
the latter replied to the effect that, a.
there is no rule or regulation which
stipulates that a lady may not presen
herself for examination, she would b.
, obliged if the Board would favor he
with their reasons for refusing to oil
low her to obtain the voluntary certifi
cate for yacht master; and on Septem
, Der Z the Board of Trade replied, stat
ing that they had always considere

A HATEFUL OF MONEY.
Unkempt Prise ner Astonishes a New
York Magistrate.

New York, Aug. N.-Perhaps the most
neglected looking. the poorest and the
most unkempt looking prisoner in the
West Fifty-fourth Street police court
yesterday was Francis Reveare, forty
five years old. living at No. 231 Yves.
Thirty-fifth Street. He had been quar-
reling with woman at Thirty-fourth
Street and Broadway and a great crowd
had collected. Policeman Faulhaber ex-
planned to the court that the Frenchman
had $500 In his clothes.
Asked how he got so much money Re-
veare said that it was his savings for
some years. Whan he had enough he
would go back to France.
All the twenty franc gold pieces he had
wrapped ia tissue paper to keep the coin
bright. In his trousers pockets, his vest
pockets, inside and outside. his coat and
in the lining of his vest he had the coins
hidden.
As the money was being taken from
him in the police station it was placed in
a hat and II made a hatful.
Gold and bank bills were in Reveares s
hoard which was distributed about his
clothes. He said that he was employed in
the kitchen of the Windsor Hotel in
Fifth Avenue, and that he had saved his
wages for years. He said he turned his
money as soon as possible into French
gold. He never could trust a bank with
his money and whenever he got any he
wrapped 1t up and slowed 1t away.
Magistrate Simms told Reveare that he
ought to be thankful to the police. II it
had not been for them, the magistrate
said, the woman he Quarrelled with
might have had 1t all.
Reveare seemed deeply grateful. The
magistrate fined him S for his riotous

Although he would not discuss the mat
ter of responsibility this morning, it is
evident that he does not consider his
branch of the service as in any way cul-
pable.
The Mobile, which arrived at Montauk
Point yesterday, is the latest floating
pesthouse to reflect discredit on the Of
ficiaIs. The 1000 men on board were lit
orally starving, as they could not retain
tainted meat and moldy hardtack on their
stomachs. Ten died at sea.
The charge has been repeatedly made,
in a general way and without specifica-
ton, that Gen. Shafter is utterly indif-
ferent to the welfare and comfort Of
his men; that he showed this by sending
them in advance of the commissary stores
at Santiago.
All the machinery of the War Depart
ment was brought to bear on him after
the second horror ship had arrived, and
he was curtly told that no more vessels
like the Seneca should be started north.
An investigation was set on foot this
morning, and the responsibility will be
fixed.

over these horror ships yet," said a sur
geon who wears Uncle Sans uniform.

riage, trying to bite the baby. Nellie
screamed and fought the dog. which
buried its sharp teeth in her arms and

a dozen wounds. Mrs. McGuinness then
ran out and dealt the brute blow on
the head with n stick and it ran away.
Nellie tainted. but the baby was un-
hurt, and a policeman shot the dog.
