During the early '70s he was en-.

and was compelled to devote not only
the day but the greater part of the
night to his task. Once when he was
thoroughly tagged out an associate
suggested that a cigar with his coffee
might have a soothing effect. General
Tracy SucCumbed to the temptation,
and before he was aware of it had fin

quiet his nerves, and he was able to
work over his papers the whole of that
night. Since that time, perhaps out of
gratitude for the effect of those three
cigars, General Tracy has been a

Washington, July 1.-The new regula-
tions prescribing the uniforms of naval OF.
ticers have been issued.
Few material changes are made in the
existing dress, but for the first time in
many years provision has had to be made
for distinguishing the admiral from other
flag officers, and while Admiral Dewey 8
modesty will not be shocked by revival
of the gorgeous raiment of the officer of
that grade, he will be conspicuous enough
to satisfy the most of his admirers. He
will not need to make any alterat ions in
the eight costumes he must wear on vari-
GUS occasions, but his epaulets, sleeve or
naments, collar devices and cooked hat
will have to be specially manufactured be-
fore he passes Gibraltar, for the regula-
tons, which were approved May s, go
into effect practically as soon as they are
received by officers, and the copies have
been mailed.
To distinguish the admiral the following
points are to be noted: He will have on his
sleeves, near the cuffs, two stripes of two
inch gold lace, with one one-inch stripe be-
tween, set one-quarter OF an inch apart
A rear admiral will have four of the one
inch stripes, and ensigns have one. Epau-
lets OF all flag officers but those of the
admiral are embelished with four silver
stars of five rays each placed an equal
distance from each other i'll the middle Of
the strap or frog of the epaulet, with a
gold foul anchor, one and one-eighth inch
es long, under each of the two outer stars,
while rear admirals have only two stars.
near each end of the frog, with a small
silver foul anchor in the center. Similar
devices go to the shoulder straps, the adj
mirals strap being three-eighths of an
inch longer and one-eighth of an inch
wider than the straps of other officers.
On each side of his collar the admiral
will wear four silver stars with a gold foul
anchor under each of the outer stars
Rear admirals have two silver stars and a
silver foul anchor.
The cooked hat of the admiral will have
a strip of two-inch gold lace, laid on fiat
around the outer rim Of the fans, passing
under the peaks For rear admirals the
gold lace is half an inch narrower.
The admiraPs sword belt is embroidered
on each edge with half-inch gold braid
and has quarter-inch gold braid in the
center. Rear admirals are entitled to half
the width Of gold on the same belt.
The cap for the admiral is the same as
that for the rear admiral, and his coat,
waistcoat, trousers, macintosh, oyercoat.
cloak, crayat, scarf, shoes, rubber boots,
shirts, collar and gloves are the same as
for all commissioned officers in the navy.
His cravat is black ribbed silk, not
more than SO nor less than 81 inches long
nor more than one and one quarter inches.
nor less than three-quarters OF an inch
wide, tied in double knot in front. His
shoes, high or low, shall be of black cali
skin or patent leather, but in warm wealth
er, white trousers, plain white shoes OF
canvas or buckskin or russet leather shoes
are allowable when service dress Is worn.
