MRS. GARDENERS PALACE.

The Owner Works Nearly Eight
Hours a Day Overseeing Workmen.
Of the women who are well known
In Boston society there probably is not
n who works so hard as Mrs. Jack
Gardner, says the New York Sun. For
more than a year now carpenters and
masons have been busily engaged in
satisfying Mrs. Gardeners latest desire.
the erection of a building which has
come to be called a venetian palace"
The palace is a very mysterious struc-
ture. No one outside the owner and
several Of her Intimate friends. with
the exception of the men doing the
work, has ever seen the interior of the
structure.
Those who ride daily through the
FenS and up Huntington avenue nave
a feeting glimpse of h palace, and
while it is said to faithfully represent
the architecture of the Venetians one
newspaper has cruelty called it "a
cross between a hospital and a stable"
Much time and money are being ex-
pended in finishing up the interior, and
the decorations are said to surpass
anything Of the kind in any building
in New England. No one has ever been
able to describe the work that is now
going on except the men and Mrs.
Gardner. The employees are sworn to
secrecy, and the owner refuses, to talk
about her palace to any one.
Every morning about s o'clock ex-
cept Sunday Mrs. Gardeners carriage
drives up to her Dol on Beacon street,
and she is taken to her new house in
the Fens. She usually remains there
until the o hour and then goes
home for her luncheon. Sometimes she
has her luncheon sen to the house. so
engrossed is she in her work of super
intending the decorating of the walls
and ceilings. and it is often 5 o'clock In
the afternoon before she leaves for the
day. The painters. frescoers and var
nishers are busily engaged at present.
and Mrs. Gardner hardly allows a
stroke of the brush to be taken without
her seeing it done. The high wall
about the outside of the building is
nearly completed. and Mrs. Gardner
hopes to move in early next year.

j. WOOTTEN.
Young Man With a Short But
Brilliant Career.

Wilmington Dispatch.
It is with a feeling of the most
profound regret that we are called
upon to chronicle the death Of
Lieutenant Bradley Jewett Woot-
ten, United States Army, which
occurred at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning at Columbia Barracks,
Havana, Cuba, after a most pain
full aud critical illness of eight
weeks with appendicitis. The
news of his death was received
at 8 O'Clock last night and it
quickly spread over the entire
city. His is one Of the saddest
deaths that ever occurred and the
whold Community grieves with
the berea7ed family, and to his
young wife, a bride Of only a few
short months, goes out the most
heartfelt sympathy OF the hun
dreds of sorrowing friends in
Wilmington. No death Was ever
felt with deeper pain and on
every hand there are expressions
of deep regret and sympathy for
the heart broken loved ones.
He was taken sick just a little
over eight weeks ago with his
third attack of appendicitis and
an operation was performed. His
condition was extremity critical,
but he improved slowly and was
at one time able to be taken out
on the piazza on a cot. His wife
went to him soon after he was
taken sick and was there until
the end came. He was improv.
ing under the splendid attention
he received, but other complis:a-
tions set in some days ago that
affected his liver and kidneys
and then the physicians pro-
nounced the case hopeless.

TYPICAL
Constructor III. 8. GiI1mOr Designs
One From Many Vessels.

oAt manly eSScd
The annual meeting of the Society OF
Naval Architects and Marine Engi-
neers held in the auditorium of the
American Society of Mechanical Engi-
geers ended the other day, says the
New York Journal. Perhaps the most
interesting and important paper read,
which provoked much discussion, was
that by Naval Constructor H. G. Gill
NOR, q. S. N, on "a Brief Comparison
Of Recent Battleship Designs"
Constructor Gillmor chose for consid-
Grafton the newest types of battleships
the Duncan, Great Britain; the Wit
telsbach, Germany; the Borodino, Rus
STA; the Vittorio Emmanuel, Italy:
h Mikasa, Japan, and the Virginia,
United States. From these he built up
a typical battleship-''a type design"
he called it. He said:
"To establish a basis for the present
comparison it is proposed to a
vessel whose dimensions are those of
the largest vessel under consideration
in which the features of armament,
protection, speed and coal supply en-
bodied are the minima OF these several
features, which may be found among
the designs under discussion. Such a
vessel would represent the extreme
limit to which, as judged from current
practice, it is thought possible to re-
duce the several elements and will be
designated a type design
This type design will, then, be q
vessel of about 435 feet in length and
16 feet in breadth, about the extreme
dimensions of the Virginia class, hav-
Ing a speed Of Is knots, the speed Of
the Mikasa NJ Borodino, with a nor
maj coal supply of $50 tons, that of the
Wittelsbach; a battery of -four "a inch
guns, the first caliber battery of the
Wittelsbach, and twelve 6 inch guns,
twelve II FOUNDER and six 3 FOUNDER
guns, the second caliber guns and Sec
ondary battery of the Duncan; two tor
| pedo tubes, as in the Virginia: a water
line belt seven inches thick and seven
feet wide. extending from the after
barbette for two-thirds of the length of
the vessel, with two inch nickel steel
plating carried from the forward enc
of this belt to the stem, the water line
protection Of the Duncan, surmounted
by a shorter belt six inches in thick
ness; inclosed buckheadS at it's ends of
the same thickness extending up to the
top Of the gun deck to form a protected
battery, as on the Wittelsbach; the 81
inch guns and ammunition supply pro-
tected by barbettes and ammunition
tubes carrying armor eight inches in
thickness, the protection of the first
caliber guns of the Vittorio Emmanu-
ele, and the 6 incl guns and ammuni-
ton supply protected by six inch ar
NOR. the protection Of the second cali
Der guns provided in all Of the resigns
under consideration"

Findings of the Schley Court
Give Satisfaction to Nobody.
Washington, Dec. 16.-Ad.
mir al Schley was in consultation
all his afternoon with his coun.
sci. Isador Rayner and Mr.. A.
league; also General Felix Ag-
nus of Baltimore and Representa-
tive Schirm OF Maryland. After
the conference Admiral Schley
authorized Mr.. league to make
the following statement:
"We have been in consultation
as to what further proceedings
shall be taken. Nothing definite
has been determined upon SO far
as civil or criminal action of any
kind against Maclay and his
sponsors is concerned. Maclay's
claim that the findings OF the
court are vindicatlon for him self
and his book is absolutely spec
ious. There are no less than half
a oc zen instances in the book in
which even if be were 80 accept
tie findings Of the court and ine
corporate them in the volume and
charge it to suit The findings, the
book would still be crlminal
libel"
Mr.. league during the after
noon presented the following let.
ter to Secretary Long:
Washington, D. c., Dec. 16.
Sir have the honor to most
respectfully request that you
withhold your approval from the
findings Of the court Of inquiry
recently held at the navy yard in
the city Of Washington Of which
Admiral George Dewey was pres.
ident, until such time as I may
have an opportunity to file a
statement OF otjactlons thereto,
and l therefore request that you
do not dissolve the court until
action shall have been taken on
such objections.
Very respectfully,
W. S. SCHLEY,
Rear Admiral U. S. N.
ISADOR RAYNER,
Counsel for the Applicant before
said Court of Inquiry.
To the Honorable Secretary Of
the Navy.

SIMMONS.
He is Assigned to Several Impor-
tant Committees.

Washington, Dec. 16.-No new
member of the Senate has better
committee assignments than Sen
ator Simmons. Many who have
been in the Senate two years and
more have even now not got as
good as he will receive when the
committees r announced, as
they will be Tomorrow.
Senator Simmons has been
assigned to these committees:
First. Relations with Cuba;
second, Post Offices and Post
Roads; third, Forest Reserva-
tions: fourth, Public Buildings
and Grounds; fifth, Agriculture;
sixth, Coast Defenses; seventh,
To Examine the Several
Branches of the Civil Service.
The first five are important
mittees. The Commute on
Relations with Cuba will have to
do with the Cuban tariff and all
u alters affecting its control,
while the Post Office and Post
Roads Committee looks into DOS
tai affairs all over the country
and has the great Post Office APP
preparation bill before it. Senator
Simmons presence on the Forest
Reservation Committee will make
him a potent factor in the Appa-
lachian Park project, and his
vote on the committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds will give
him much influence in framing
the public building bills in which
Durham, Goldsboro and Winston
Salem are so much interested.
The other committees, too, are
good ones, especially the Agri-
cultural Committee.
