STORY OF THE SCIPIO
And How the English Managed to
Convey Her to This Government

New York, March S0.-The Times
says:
The steamer Sclpio, a craft from no.
where, bound to nowhere, flying no flag,
OwnerleSS and crewless, is to be sold to
the highest bidder at the Brooklyn navy
yard by the United States government.
A board has been appointed to examine
the ship, which lies at the yard. The
board will determine as to how to dis
pose of her. The board will perform a
similar duty with respect to the steam
err Niagara which is also at the Brook
Ign yard. This was bought by the gov
eminent from the Ward line during the
Spanish war.
At the outbreak of hostilities, agents
of this government were engaged in
buying ships and war munitions in
England. The beginning of actual war
found some of the deals incomplete.
Great Britain being a neutral power.
these incomplete deals could not be
pushed through-that is to say, appar-
emily not. Soon after the beginning of
hoStilities a steamship In perfect trim
from stem to stern, with furnace fires
on board was found adrift off the coast
of Newfoundland, found by United
States ship, too, oddly enough. The
crewless ship was the Scipio.
She flew no flag and there was not so
much as a scrap of paper to be found
aboard her to indicate where she sailed
from, where she was sailing to, or who
owned her Here then, was q mystery
of the deep.
The Scipio carried a cargo of coal, but
never did such strange things come out
of a cargo of coal as came from the
depths of the anthracite piled in the
hold. There were guns, fine modern af-
fairs of English make, Maxirns, Hotch-
kiss cannon, field pieces and other ord
nance, together with ammunition.
Just how the Scipio came to be found
adrift with such an opportune cargo by
a United States ship has never been
told-officially.
The Scipio has been at the Brooklyn
navy yard since she was picked up
adrift on the high seas.

Will Be the Wedding Gown of Miss
Virginia Fair.

New York. March S0.-Ever since the
wedding date of Miss Virginia Fair and
Mr.. William K. Vanderbilt was made pub
lie the young friends of the bride to be
have been consumed with curiosity on the
subject of what her wedding gown would
be.
Miss Fair has mind of her own. She
will walk to the altar next Tuesday in a
costume which undoubtedly will set the
fashion for other brides for some time to
come.
Her wedding gown was made abroad in
Paris, but it by no means resembles the
strictly French bridal gown, which is al
ways of satin and of rather severe cut.
On the contrary. this particular gown has
nothing stiff or Starchy about it, and not
a fold of satin is in evidence.
OF course. the foundation is ivory satin
the richest of satin. at that-cut with an
enormously long train. but this material
is entirely covered with fine point d'esprit
of a creamy tint corresponding to that
of the satin. Then, instead of point lace,
old cream-eolored Irish lace. which is
somewhat heavier in texture, is used in
applique designs all over the gown;
the skirt; the train is bordered with a
corsage is entirely of the lace.
Another departure from convention will
be noticed in the cut of the sleeve, which
reaches barely to the elbow, and is partly
of lace and of point d esprit.
With this exquisite gown the bride will
wear a veil of tulle.
