"The question Of a sponsor for the Shu-
brick is still under advisement. am
awaiting further Information, but no Sc
lection has yet been made. 'LEMLY."
The above telegraphlc communal ,ation
was received from Gene
raj Lemly by the Dispatch last night, in
response to a telegram asking for 'nfor-
nation concerning the arrangements for
the launching Of the torpedo-boat at the
Trigg ship-yards.
The ge-Advocate-General is in COM
munication with the Shubrick family, and
from letters received from this family by
the Dispatch there seems to be no doubt
that the family will recommend that Miss
Carrie S. ShubricE. Of North Carolina, be
selected as sponsor and that she will be
selected by the Navy Department.
NO DATE CAN BE GIVEN YET.
The Trigg Ship-Building Company can
fix no time for the launching vet. Mr.
Nelson, the superintendent OF the yards,
said TO a Dispatch man last night that
ell depended upon the date that the Beth

now waiting The Bethlehem people have
written that the machine at work on
these shafts will not be allowed 70 re-
main idle for one minute. and that the
steel will be delivered at the earliest pos
sible moment.
If the shafting comes during October
the shin can be launched that month. II
will only take the Trigg people about one
week to place the steel shafts and pre-
pare the boat for its immersion In the
dock II IS presumed. therefore. that the
launching will take place either during
the latter week OF October, or the first
week OF November

A Royal Actress.

The wife of Grand Duke Sergius
Alexandrovitch of Russia, the sister of
the present czarina, is known to pos
sess great histrionic talent. Her pri-
vate life is most unhappy and she de.
votes herself to amateur theatricals as
a recreation. At her home members
OF the profession of all nations are well
coined. A story is told of the way in
which the duchess appeared as pro-
fessional actress. The leading lady of
q theater in Moscow, a friend OF the
duchess, was taken i'll one night just
before the curtain was to rise. The
duchess visited her in the green room,
and proposed in order to prevent the
theater from being closed, to play the
leading part in drama she was famil-
lar with, if her identity remain un.
known. The manager was able has
tily to arrange the cast, and the play
went on, the audience showing great
enthusiasm over the love-making
scenes, which were acted with great
fervor by the leading man and the
new actress. That the duchess was
taking the role became known to some
in the audience, and the duke was in.
formed, the consequence being that
his royal highness appeared on the
scene, frightening the duchess into a
faint, and the curtain was rung down.

Some society ladies are endeavoring

ded for extra strength, or the seal

Sometimes the paper is folded like the

if one will, the seal and wafer may be
dispensed with.
