chip Columbia, at the Brooklyn navy
yard. 1t present. than at any time foe
several years. The executive omcsro
on that ship are compelled to daily
notify the navigation bureau that thsy
are unable to an orders for drafts Of
men which are required for various
branches Of the service. There are ct
present on the receivingShip $50 men
Of all classes. OF this number ESQ
are landsmen who are new In the serv.
Ice and who are not competent to BE-
put into Q government ship for duty.
The result is = great embarrassment
both to local ofncers and to the chiefs
Of the bureau.
A year ago this month there were
about 800 men on board the receiving
ship Vermont. There were all classes
of sailors and few Of the orders from
the department at Washington had
10 be sent back without being hlled.
The Columbia cannot at best accom-
nodate more than 400 men. Her ca
pacity At present, however. II not BE-
ng 1t all tested. The training-ships
are liable to make up their full com.
plement of londsmen for cruises and
there are hundreds Of this class who
are on the waiting list That does
not. however. relieve the strained
condition which exists in the navy.
The one particular reason which IL
assigned for this great dearth Of sail
ors is the fact that the navy Is in the
period of transition from the old to
the new service. The seamen were
formerly compelled to enlist for thres
years. In 1898 the new law requiring
them to enlist for four years took ef-'
feet. At the present time. therefore.
the old three-year men are going out
Of service, not caring to enlist for four
years more. and many new men are
not willing to re-enlist for four Jears.
The fact that year has been added
to the length of the service has In IT,
self q bad effect. The example OF
some men who have served three
years and who are willing to continue
for another term Of years does not
tend to increase the regular enlist
msnts.

I Association at Buffalo during TIE past
week One of the unique features Of
the convention was an address by Ell
bert Hubbard, of the Roycroft Shop. at
East Aurora, y. Y. The subject of Mr.
Hubbard's address was not stated in the
convention prospectus. and while he
talks in an interesting manner and
writes ertertain'ngly on art subjects, I
do not imagine that he will weave into
his address an account OF the refusal
OF the Auditorium Hotel. of Chicago, to
entertain him and his son while on q
visit to the Windy City early last
spring. MIR. Hubbard and his son are
both peculiar in their dress and wear
long hair, and affect the most extrava-
giant STYLES of neckwear, and upon ap-
plying for entertainment at the Audi
torium were informed by the clerk who
sized the pair as freaks" that all their
rooms were taken, whereupon Hubbard,
sr., and Hubbard, jr.. said that they
would wait for a vacancy, and calmly
proceeded to wait. 1t happened that ia
4 short time an acquaintance came In,
and finding the pair waiting in the ves-
tibule. inquired the reason and quicitly
informed the discreet and discriminate
4
guests. and in some mysterious mauna
the oyercrowded condition of the hotel
relaxed 10 such an extent that The au-
thor of the Message TO Garcia" was
soon furnished with suitable accommo-
dations. The few who knew of this oc-
currence have expected that in some
subsequent number of the "Philistine"
reference would be made to this affair
in Hubbard's usual breezy style, but
thus far nothing has been said about
the matter, but 1t is safe to say that thc
ears OF the Chicago innkeepers will burr.
when the days of silence are over.

There she found many traces OF the lost
dauphin, and it was there that the
definite idea of writing a story around
this legend, or fact, as she believed 1t
TO be. first came to her. Other work
claimed immediate precedence. how
ever, but she never lost sight OF her
little prince nor wavered IN her deter
mination to put him into romance.
Mrs. Catherwood felt that the fates
had her in their keeping when one day
they guided her steps to Green Bay,
Wis. There she chanced to call on two
maiden ladies. and they, as much by
chance, displayed some precious old
books, saying, in a tone of great rev.
erence, they belonged to the dauphin.
The memory of her Prince Charming
rushed back upon her. She asked many
questions. and learned that there were
men in Green Bay who remembered hav-
ing seen Eleazer Williams; that there
were women there who possessed costly
articles of bric-a-brac that had been sent
him from France The site of a cabin
once his was pointed out to her.
The knowledge of all these things re-
kindled the fire of her determination to
write the story of the little French
prince who was brought to America,
probably to die. but who lived to be a
loyal and useful citizen. And so the
story was begun. 1t was a labor of
love, and yet genuine labor. For Mrs.
Catherwood, though trained and a Sue
cessful writer before she began the
story Of s.I .II.=aizarre," had so fallen in love
with her hero that nothing less than
the very best expression OF her talent
would satisfy her. After all the materi-
al for the story had been collected, a
year was required for the writing of it.
Eleazer Williams was the lost dau-
phir. heir to the throne of France, eld-
est son of Louis XVI, but the Indians
called him 'Iazarre." And so the wo-
man who has made him live again in
her book has called 1t "Lazarre." 1t Is
a fitting title. for the story fairly ex-
hales the spirit Of America-America at
her highest-freedom, loyalty. courage,
high -mindedness, and a rev.
erence and love for woman that
passeth all understanding.
