But Her Efforts Did Not Meet with
Much Success
1t takes fully six months for n story
like the following to become public
property. Last season q Washington
woman, possessing both social and
charitable ambitions, elected to give a
reception. The affair was to be very
exclusive. Judge of the surprise wnen
a bundle Of invitations was left at the
door Of hospital In town upon whose
board Of managers Mrs. z. serves. The
invitations were found to be addressed
to the trained nurses Of the institution,
and great was the wonder that the pro-
fessional ranks had been invaded for
society recruits.
A few days elapsed. and Mrs. 2. paid
a visit to the hospital. Making herself
extremely agreeable, she remarked to
the nurses
"Well, girls, hope you received cards
to my receptionT
Smiles and acknowledgements an
swered in the affirmative, and Mrs. Il.
went on complacently:
member you all. I appreciate how
much work and how little play you
girls have, and l thought you would
enjoy little glimpse of society fun"
mo doubt Of 1t, Mrs. H." one of the
nurses spoke up, "but none of us are
likely to have gowns suitable to wear
at such a function"
"Oh, that need not trouble you in the
least" returned the smiling Mrs. u.
"Now, my Idea is this. OF course, I
understand You have no evening
gowns, and that you know very few
society people, but these facts must not
interfere with your getting n peep at
my guests and eating some of my sup
per. thought the whole thing would
be slmplifed II you all came In your
pretty uniforms and caps, and took w
your stations In the dressing rooms.
You would only have to assist the Ia
dies with their wraps and you could see
the gowns to such good advantage.
and" But such a chorus Of indig-
nant exclamations rent the air Mt that
juncture that Mrs. Us sentence was
never completed.
The social veneering must be thickly
coated on Mrs. a., for to this day she
does not seem to understand why the
nurses meet her advances with frigid
Indifference, and why her visits TO the
hospital are no longer pleasant.-Wash-

TOTALLY UNPROTECTED.
Our Southern Ports an Easy Prey
for the Enemy.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The members of
the rivers and harbors committee of the
House returned to day from a long tuur
of inspection CT the rivers and harbors Of
the South and say they .fornd there not

Southern ports. They discovered the
forts protecting Charleston anu the sur
rounding country practically uncai ell for

ernment paid enorm ons sums not even
mounted, but lyiog around covered with
cement and debris.
In conversation with the officers in
charge OF Pensacola, Charleston and else
where they were informed that the har
bors were not mined. that there WAS little
powder stored ready for use and practi.
cally no shells or ammunition. The off.
Ger at Pensacola told the committee that
Spanish man. of-war could steam over
nom Havana, capture New Orleans, levy
tribute upon the city and escape without
our Government being able to stop it.
Other officers informed the committee
that in case of trouble with Spain, which
all anticipated, the Southern ports were
practically unprotected and unfortified
and that officers of the army and navy
stationed there could stand up and be
shot down, but this was about all they
c"uiu w against stronB enemy or Il we'll
equipped powerful ship.
The committee who heard the above
statements said that to permit such n
condition of things was crimina There
is no doubt that the information brought
here to-day By the committee will cause
widespread comment both here and
abroad.
The trouble seems to have been,n said
one Congressman. "that the members OF
our navy and militia committee have
been taking too much tor granted and ac-
cepting without investigation from year
to year cut-and-dried reports made by the
military department. The military and
naval committees" he said, "should
make tour of inspection every year, the
appropriation bills passed and fluid out
for themselves the condition of our har-
Dor defenses."
