"A O~o
Few young men of the opportunities
Of Arson Phelps Stokes, Jr., would be
willing to substitute a life of arduous
duties in connection with a great mod

BILE to him. Mr.. Stokes, who has not
yet turned thirty, is the wonder Of all
New Hayene1s and Of members of Yale
university circles. The number of
things that Mr.. Stokes can do, and do
well, are amazing. Besides being the
assistant rector mt st. Pauls Episcopal

secretary Of Yale university and II of
the most potent forces in Yale. He is,
besides, an enthusiastic golfer and plays
a first class game, going through sew

Connecticut state golf tournament with
honors. In his leisure moments MI.
Stokes has invented Il parlor golf game,
which he has patented and put on the
market. At the last commencement
he managed to secure enough subscrip-
lions at the last moment to I'll out the
amount necessary for the erection Of the
new memorial hall and vestibule build
ing. Constant calls are made by the
undergraduates On MI. Stokes, and his
influence is tremendous among the stu
dents. Besides these activities MI.

TWO DEATHS FROM TETANUs
FOLLOWING VACCINATION.
INVESTIGATION BEING MADE
Number of Deaths From This Cause
Has Been Nine In Three
Weeks.

Camden, N, j., Nov. 26.-Two more
deaths from tetanus following vac
cination were recorded in this city to-
day, making a total of nine deaths
from that disease during the past
three weeks. Today's victims were
Ada Heath, aged Is years and Georg-
anne OVERLY, colored, aged 9 years.
The children were recently v%accinated
and two or three days ago symptoms
of lockjaw began to present them
selves.
Every effort was made to counteract
the disease, but the children died to-
day in great agony. There are sew
eral suspicious cases of lockjaw under
observation by physicians. ~Investiga-
ton as to whether lockjaw germs are
in vaccine virus is still being carried
on by the board of health. In the
meantime the practice of vaccination
has been suspended in this city.
Another death from %tetanus, that of
Sarah Johnson, colored, aged four
years, is reported from Merchantville,
near here.

Blouse and Norfolk Jackets.

Blouse md Norfolk Jackets.
Taking the place with many women
of the Elton and bolero, which still,
however, hold favor among autumn
robes, are the blouse jackets with turn
down Napoleon collar, or in Aiglon
shape, with or without the skirt pep
lum, cut in circular form, or the new
Norfolk jacket, made with silk stitch
ed, adjustable plaits that taper from
beneath the edges of a shaped yoke to
the waist. A narrow stitched belt de-
fines the slight dip at the front, and
the close sleeves are made with two
seams.

ADMIRAL DE.WEY'S LUNCH.
Carries 1t With Him While Sitting
On Court of Inquiry.

Admiral Dewey carries his lunch ev-
cry day to the navy yard, where the
Echley court Of inquiry is sitting, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago News. There is not a decent
lunchroom within a radius Of a mile
of the navy yard, and the admiral evil
IDENTIFY was aware Of this fact in adj
vance, for on the first day of the in
quiry he hurried into the gunners'
workshop, jauntily carrying his little
lunch basket, while All Lin, his Chi
nese servant, followed close behind.
tugging at the suit case that contained
the admiral's uniform. All Lin and the
suit case monopolized the attention
that day. The crowd did not catch on
to all the fine points of the di1ninutive
basket that the hero Of Manila carried.
Now the arrival of the basket is watch.
ed for as eagerly as is that Of the head
Of the court Of inquiry himself.
The basket is Of the finest Filipino
weave and of a peculiar light green
color that makes it look seasick when
contrasted with the white walls and
woodwork of the chamber in which the
sessions are held. 1t is always careful
ly wrapped with ribbon Of that partic,
ular size and color that the dry goods
clerk hands out when asked for "baby
ribbon"
When the court makes it's midday
adjournment, the admiral hurries into
the retiring room in the rear of the
court, balances the basket on his knees
and patiently unwinds the narrow blue
ribbon. After he finishes his luncheon
he as patiently wraps the ribbon around
the basket again and pulls it carefully
on his table. When his work is done
for the day, he bears his lunch basket
to his carriage, tenderly places it on
the seat beside him and drives out of
the navy yard. The crowd enjoys the
beribboned lunch basket almost as
much as the admiral appears to enjoy
its contents, but SO far as can be ascer.
tanned no one has had the temerity to
chaff him about it, although it is well
known that The admiral enjoys a joke.

of public spaces. united by boulevards
which will make the National Capital the
most splendid city in the world.
The basis of the new park system, of
course, will be the Mall and the Zoologi-
cal and Rock Creek Parks. To these will
be added certain tracts which Will unite
the Soldiers Home. When these are
united by boulevards there are other
tracts of land to be added to the system
which will swing the parking system
practically around the city. The Mall is
to be enlarged. II is expected, by the in
clusion of the space between Maryland
Avenue on the south and Pennsylvania
Avenue on the north. The Mall VIII in
time contain a majority of the public
buildings, the intention being to place
them along its new northern boundary.
There is now some hope that the railroad
tracks and the Sixth Street station may
parking purposes. The presence of the
railroad tracks has been the chief obsta-
Gle in the way of the Park Commission,
and the possibility of having them re-
moved by the construction of big union
station elsewhere will give greater sig
nificance to the plan worked out. The
Memorial Bridge uniting the Mall with
the National Cemetery at Arlington Is
also included in the general plan.
The details of the Improvement of the
Mall are for the present secret, but
II is known that an elaborate scheme of
broad walks, drives, with lakes and
bridges, has been under consideration,
which would transform the park into
garden of large dimensions whose beau
ties would be an ever-increasing delight
to the visitor. The idea behind the scheme
is to use the Mall, which is practically
in the heart of the city. as some of the
European cities have their inter-urban
parks, by transforming It into a bower
of beauty where landscapes, sheets of
water, winding boulevards, and masses of
flowers and shade are employed to pro-
duce effects which delight and startle
the beholder. The connection between
the Mall and the Geological Park
is TO be effected. 1t is said by the
occupation of the space between sew
eral streets west of Twenty second
Street, which will afford a wide parked
curving avenue with splendid vistas. for
which the topography in that part of the
tional Park will be widened and its bound
aries rounded out so as to make It and
the Geological Park more closely resem-
BILE the Mall, greatly enlarged. Here land
scape parking, rather than gardening will
be the plan of Improvement, and the
broad acres of these parks will give a
sense of room and magnificent distance"
for which the city of Washington. in gem
eral. has always been noted.
The cost of the plan has not yet oecu-
MED the attention of the commission, eX-
cent in a general way. OF course the i'm
prove ment will cost much money. An ap-
nropriation of S5.G0000 would fairly start
The enterprise. The idea of the commits
sion is said to have been that the COM
wears in It's full development, and the OBJ
fect has been to work out plan for the
future. as well as the present, and one
that will ultimately give the city the
grandest and most elaborate system of
parks in the world.

Charles Moore, clerk of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, has announced that the
Park Commission will meet In Washing-
ton Octoher 10 TO complete its work and
frame its report to Congress. This COM

view of uniting them into single sys-
tenn. They have Deen at Work on the

other cities in the United States, ana
have spent some time In Europe investi-
eating the best park systems of the world.
On the date above named the commits
sion will begin a series of conferences
here with the Engineer Office of the
War Department and with the DIS
trict Commissioners The Park Com
mission will lay its plans before
the local authorities with a view to har-
mony of action, and with the purpose IN
view of hearing any criticisms that may
be offered, and of either meeting them or
modifying their plans so as to coincide
with the views of the engineers and the
Commissioners. 1t is expected that these
conferences will last a week or two. and
that when finished the commission will
be ready to make up its report for sub
mission to Congress.
The plans of tie commission, of course,
are not known, except in a general way,
and 1t is expected that some of the de-
tails may be considerably modified as the
results of the coming conferences with
the local bodies The general plan is said
to be well advanced now, and such at
tention has been given to it in the con-
ferences of the commission since it be
gan its iabors that there Is little likeli-
hood of its being materially changed.

STREET sLUMBERER ROBBED.
Watch, Money, and Shoes From Hi
Feet Taken.

Charles Taylor, a railroad conductor,
whose home is at Ills Fourth Street
southeast, fell asleep early yesterday
morning near the Bijou Theatre, and was
robbed of his shoes, watch, and about SIS.
While still sleeping Taylor was found by
Policemen Level and owens, who cared
for him and sent report of the robbery
to Headquarters.
The story of Taylor is that he went out
to Brightwood Saturday night to visit
friends, and returned on d street car
shortly before midnight. He expected to
meet several friends at Ninth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue, and, not seeing
them Immediately and being tired, he sat
down on some steps to await their com
ing. There he fell asleep and did not
awaken until aroused by the policemen.
Taylor was hardly able to tell anything
about the robbery. In his vest pocket
about $50 was found, which had evidently
been overlooked by the thieves. He was
compelled to suffer the inconvenience of
going home without his shoes.
