OPENING THE ARGUMENT
MR. HANNA BEGINS PRESENTATION OF
THE GOVERNMENTS SIDE.
[By The Associated Press

TB: The Associated Press.
Washington. Nov. 4.--E. r Hanna, assistant to
Judge Advocate Lernly opened the argument. He
began his presentation of the case by saying that
he would like accomplish two objects. The first
would be make his address brief and terse. ana
second present careful and exhaustive cita-
ton of the evidence These two purposes. he con-
fessed were somewhat conflicting. Nevertheless.
he would do the best he could to accomplish them
He would, he said. take the clauses or the pre-
cept and present the testimony bearing on them IN

He then began by referring to the fact tnat IN
May, 1895 the coast of the United States was men
aced by the Spanish fleet. This. he said, was
critical time. The seaboard cities were exposed to
attack Military operations were pending for the
relief of Havana but they could not be carried out
while the location Of the Spanish heet was un-
known He told OF the arrival OF the Flying squad
ron at Key West and read number or preliminary
orders to Commodore Schley. Speaking OF the run
or the F1ving Squadron from Key West to Glen
fuegos Mr. Hanna asserted that the trip was not
made as expeditousy as possible He clted 'he
fact that the Iowa which went by way OF Havana.
made much better time. Regarding the arrival or
the F1ving Squadron at Cienfuegos MI Hanna
called attention to the fact that the log OF the
Texas showed that she had steamed fourteen ana
one-half knots the morning or May .. Inc
Rrookyns log also showed that that Vessei steamed
FOR an hour and half at ten knots on the 20

SQUADRON must have been a considerable distance
from the entrance to the harbor when 1t stopped

A COLONIAL PARLoR.

nonymous with elegance-the period of
black walnut furniture, heavily emboss-
ed wall paper and carefully drawn win
dow shades. We are also to be congrat-
ulated that we are gradually leaving
behind us the rocco mOnstrositieS and
impossible gilt chairs and tables. The
state apartment has ceased to be, and
the "chat room is all the style.
shall never forget the first visit
made to a friend of mine when we
were both young girls. She received me
in the drawing room, high rooted, sol
emn apartment glittering with gOr-
geousness. We sat on the edge Of two
little gilt chairs smiling primly at each
ether She said it was a horrible day
outside, and l asked her if her cold
was better. Then deep silence fell be-
tween us. Suddenly she burst out
laughing. ooh, come on up to my
room," she giggled. II guess we can
have better time up therew And we
did.
The prettiest parlor of all is colonial
1t has white woodwork and broad win
dows with window seats. The sun
streams through daintily draped cur
tains Of white point d'esprit and dances
over the hard wood floor and the large
square center rug. This rug is big
enough to cover all but a wide border
of the hard wood flooring. 1t is rich in
coloring. The furniture is mahogany
and simple in form. The chairs are COW

shades to harmonic with the wall pa

pale green interviewer with garlands Of
pink roses. There is not one striking
color in the whole room, but cOmbina-
ton of many carefully shaded tints.
In one corner stands a small tea table
bearing lamp with a fluffy rose shade.
In another there is a little inlaid writ
ing table in case the visitor should
want to leave a note. A low, fiat stand
holds the latest books and perhaps a
leather portfolio of loose engravingS.
The square colonial divan is heaped
with pretty pillows, and there are one
or two in each window seat. In cold
weather a wood fire burns in the simple
white fireplace, and in summer punches
Of flowers brighten the room. The walls
are hung with gay water colors and
clever bits of black and white Nothing
can be too bright and cheerful for the
"chat room" where we receive our
friends. r. DE LA BAUME.

Appetizing Recipes For the Lunch
and Dinner Table.
Celery Fritters.-Scrape the stalks
and cut them into inch pieces. Cook in
boiling sailed water until tender. To

eggs well beaten and half a cupful of
milk and one tablespoonful of olive oil.
Season a cup Of flower with a salt
spoonful of salt and stir it gradually
into the mixture. Add the whites of
the eggs beaten very stiff. Be sure
that your fat is very hot. Dip each
piece of celery into the batter and fry
in q deep kettle.
Prime Mousse.-Stew half pound of
prunes till quite soft, mash them and
take away the stones. Add to the pulp
half a pound of sponge cake crumbs

1t was Murray Hamilton Hall, the wo-
man-man. The small chap carried a
heavy Irish blackthorn stick, which it
f1ourished vigorously. Hall was loaded
for me, so to speak. 1t had swallowed
a quantity of it's favorite f1rewater and
so had plenty Of Dutch courage. 1t at
tackled me in curious sort of cOntraltO-
falsetto voice, if there be such, which
rose to a scream as the speaker became
wrought up. 1t poured into my ears a
tale of highborn descent from a fine old
Scotch family, but if she-he wasn't an
Trishman, then it belied its looks.
Presently in a stress Of rage Hall
raised the blackthorn club over my
head. / don't know what would have
happened, but at that moment my
guardian angel or some other power
caused the cane to hit the chandelier,
which shivered into 40 fragments
The clerk and hotel people came run
ming in, and little Hall cooled off To
this day | don't know whether it really
meant to whack me upon the head with
that bIackthorn club or only to scare
me. But to the end Of my days | shall
remember precisely how that stick
looked, every grim black knot of it, as
it struck the gas globes.
'1'm able to pay for it, squeaked lit
tie Hall grandiloquently. "Send me the
bill tomorrow Here is my card"
Then she-he arose with a flourish Of
the blackthorn club and a dramatic
movement and staid not upon the order
of it's going, but got out at once.
The incident remained in my mind
wildly With it there remained an in
delible impression that somehow the
little creature was masQuerading. L
seemed to know that intuitively, but
how or why l could not make out. |
was certain the name of Murray Ham
ilton Hall was an assumed one, but
the real one neither I nor another ever
found out Here was at least one wom-
an who could keep a secret.
Undoubtedly there were hundreds,
If not thousands, in New York who
in their hearts mourned in connec-
ton with the death of little Hall.
They were the members Of the political
clubs whom she-he had deluded for q
generation, had eaten and drunk with,
played poker and gone fishing with,
had taken it's tall, handsome wife to
their c1ambake parties and boosted of
it's political pull over them all. Of this
mysterious and powerful pull Hall
Dragged to me, I remember. telling me
what it could do then and there if it
chose. At any rate, here was one wom-
an who had the satisfaction Of voting
for half score of presidents. How she
must have roared to herself with laugh
ter when she thought of this stupen-
dous joke.
Noteworthy is the remark of WON
an who lived in part Of the same
house with Hall and had been deceived
like the rest. When at its death the
little woman-man's sex was discovered,
she exclaimed Indignantly:
eff had known Hall was woman,
I'd have moved out"

er saw a more restless child in all my
life. No toy could hold her attention
more than two minutes, and if some
one did not condescend to amuse her
she would sit right down in the center
Of the floor and cry bitterly. This STRAIT
agem never failed. She was immedi-
ately picked up in her mothers arms
and soothed with the promise Of a sto-
ry. Of course with a mother who was
willing to read aloud to her by the hour
it was not wonderful that Flossie re-
fused to do the work herself. She was
Z years old when she first learned to
read, and then she was taught by main
force It was the same with her toys.
She never knew the JOY of originating,
Of deriving pleasure from her own in

done a child, this bringing it up to de-
pend always upon others. I am not TAX

done to the mother by making her a

ness which is implanted in the child.
What am thinking Of is the deliberate
weakening Of the child's character. All
through life that child will depend up
on others to do the work which it
should do itself We see such people
every day, people who lean on others,
who can't stand alone, and we call
them life's failures. But how many Of
us trace the evil to it's first cause.-The
fact that self reliance was not taught
in the nursery? MAUD ROBINSON

The extraordinary career of Murray
Hamilton Hall, who for 80 years sue
cessfully masquerade as man in

elect among the politicians who were
her familiar associates, recalls to me
one of the singular episodes in the
life of a newspaper woman.
When a woman goes to a great city
and tries for journalistic work, she
must take what she can get, and she
does not always get it, either.
One of my first assignments in New

First I am going to talk about the
parlor. 1t has grown fashionable to
call it the drawing room, but with your
kind permission l will stick to the first
name. There is something about the
word drawing room which suggests
chilly atmosphere and row upon row of
stiff furniture only used on state coca
sions. The word parlor, on the contra
ry, suggests cheeriness. You know it
derives its source from the French
word ''parIoir," which may be literally
translated as "chat ROOM" The trou-
Bile with the average room for receiving
ones friends is that there isn't enough
"parloir' to it.

LONG ENGLISH SKIRT. ain women may
keep a pub" or licensed dramshop,
and be considered entirely and re-
specially feminine. They may smoke
cigarettes when and almost where they
please and still be real ladies. But let
a woman shorten her bicycle skirt by
so much as an inch above her an
kles and the British constitution is
shaken.
The rainy day skirt common in Amer
lea would be, even when worn upon
bicycle, overshort for this solemn
British propriety. At the same time no
man is fonder of showing off the shape
of his own lower extremities below the
knee, whether they be spindles or gate
posts, whether they be straight or
crooked, than your Briton. Englishmen
wear queer looking knickerbockers dali
ly in the most crowded of London
streets.
One day on Euston road l saw wo-
man cycler hurled to the ground in the
midst Of the omnibuses, cabs and
trucks that thunder up and down that
the sidewalk. That she was not run
over and killed could only have been
owing to the Providence which takes
care of fools and children. The reason
of the fall was that her long skirt had
caught in the axle of the wheel and
had been chewed up till it threw her
over.
English women think the kpicker-
bockers worn by Frenchwomen on the
bicycle are scandalous. On the other
hand, although the FrenchWoman dons
knickerbockers and rides a diamond
frame or so called mans bicycle, al
though she not seldom has also mus
tache and beard, yet she dislikes Eng
lish women because she considers them
masculine. French ladies declare that
Englishmen are manly, but that Eng
lish women are not womanly. Curious
world is it not?
Not all Frenchwomen wear the
knickerbocker bicycle suit and ride the
diamond frame, but most of them do.
Sparkling with life, picturesque as fan
cy can paint, is the scene in the great
park of Paris, the Bots de Boulogne, Of
a bright Sunday afternoon. Fair cy-
clers fit like birds in and out among
the trees and along the beautiful paths.
Frenchwomen are certainly the most
graceful of their sex, whether 1T be due
to natural litheness and suppleness of
body or whether to the exceedingly
careful training they receive, but Of the
fact there is no doubt
Many of the knickerbocker costumes
are very pretty and taking, like every
thing else French. They are planned
with a view to pleasing the beholder.
The sightliest are made with pair of
bloomer trousers not SO wide as to be
baggy and clumsy. fastened below the
knee, and short, close fitting jacket to
match The color is black. gray or
dark blue, often black. The jacket
reaches to the waist, is open in front,
displaying the cheerful pink, blue or
violet shirt. A jaunty. becoming toque
or cap covers the head. Frenchwomen
do not take kindly to the sailor hat or
the golf cap.
