the local issues will be forgotten and that
Mayor Low will be showed under IN way
that will materially aid the democrats in
their presidential calculations next year.
Consulting Both Factions.
In furtherance of his program Murphy Is
consulting not merely the gold wing of the
party, but Is talking with some of the
former silver leaders. One of these is
Charles A Towne, who was a member Of
Congress from Minnesota when he bolted
the republican national convention in 1896
and went over to the silver republicans
He was immensely popular with the popu-
lists of the country, but the feeling which
they had for him gradually has petered out,
especially since he became interested in
Texas oil fields and went to New York to
live. He is a frequent visitor to demo-
cratic headquarters on 18th street, New
York.
The opinion is growing in New York that
Representative Mcclellan will be the nom
inee. He has been in Europe nearly all
summer but Will sail in a day or two for
this country. The opinion among New
Workers is that he will accept the nomina-
ton.
The republicans will reject the idea that
the national results next year can be IN
fluenced by the mayoralty election, and gre
already claiming that the issues in New
York are purely local and non-partis an
that Mayor Low is pledged to continual
ton of a non-partiSan city administration,
and that his reelection would not mean
weakness for the democrats nationally or
strength for the republicans. The demo-
cratic purposes, however. are probably not
as pleasing to the republicans as if they
could keep national politics wholly out of
the fight.

MARYLAND NOT AFLOAT
New Cruiser Still Refuses to
Bulge from the Ways.
UNDER LITTLE STRAIN
TUGS PROVE TOO WEAK TO MOVE
THE MONSTER VESSEL.
Battle Ship Missouri Nay Be Utilized
to Drag Her Into the Water if
Other Means All Fail.

Special Dispatch to Tie Evening Star.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, September IA
The armored cruiser Maryland is still stuck
at the bottom of the ways, from which she
was launched Saturday afternoon in the
presence of 10000 people This morning
force of several hundred men were put to
work to attempt to get the ship afloat by
means of hydraulic jacks applied TO the
bow. AT IL O'Clock she had not been moved
but ii is thought that she will be gotten
off at high tide at $50. An official of the
shipyard stated this morning that the Mary
land was absolutely in no danger, and was
under very little strain.
The accident which prevented the launch
ing of the ship in the smooth manner which
has been characteristic of these exercises
was caused according to the officials of the
ship building company, by the melting of
the grease on the ways during the extreme
heat of last week and the consequent dry
condition of the sliding grooves through
which the boat should have glided.
: The start was as good as Is ever the case
and there was no reason to believe that
anything would mar the program Miss
Waters had broken the bottle of cham
payne against the bow of the ship as it
started on its journey toward the sea, and

THE NEW YORK FIGHT
DEMOCRATS MAY ATTEMPT TO
ELIMINATE LOCAL ISSUES.
Tammany Leader Murphy Confers
With Prominent Men of His Party
Regarding Plan of Campaign.

The moves in the mayoralty fight in New
York are being closely watched by poll
ticans of both parties outside of New York
This is due to the attempt of Leader Muir
ply of Tammany and other democrats to
make the mayoralty fight national rather
than local. In this Mr.. Murphy is said by
democrats to be playing good politics from
a local point of view. In order to ascertain
whether his views are correct, 1T Is stated
on competent authority, Leader Murphy has
recently discussed the national flavor he
proposes to give the contest with ex-senator
David b. Hill, Senator German, Chairman
James X. Jones of the national committee,
Senator Bailey and others. All these men
agree with Leader Murphy that the proper
man to be nominated by the democrats for
mayor of New York is Representative Nc
Clellan. The point that most interests the
local and national democratic leaders now Is
what should be Incorporated in the platform
to be adopted when the democratic city con-
Vention meets at Carnegie Hall October /.
Leader Murphy wants to have the platform
prepared in advance
No Issue Against Low.
There Is said to be practically no real
good local issue on which the Tammany
democrats can fight Mayor Low for re-elec-
ton. So Mr.. Murphy proposes to take ad-
vantage of normal democratic strength in
the city to appeal to the democratic hosts
that on the eve Of a great presidential cleo
ton the democrats of the country will look
to New York city to elect a democrat as
mayor. Democrats all over the country
make widespread claims that New York city
is hotbed of opposition to the reelection
of President Roosevelt Leader Murphy is
said to feel the same way, and he wants
to use the alleged antiRoosevelt sentiment
to defeat Mayor Low. By appealing to the
hostility to the President, and at the same
time appealing to the democratic tendencies
of the city, Leader Murphy believes that

The Fourth Field Battery, U. S. A, left
Its quarters at FIT. Myer yesterday morning

Fort Myer on the return journey about the

The march is being made by direction Of
the commanding officer of the Department
of the East, the battery being ordered to
proceed by road to Antietam and return the

Last Of an Old Naval Steamer.

Thee old steamer Phlox, purchased by
parties in Alexandria at a recent sale OF
old naval stock at Annapolis was brought
to Alexandria this morning by the tug
Camilla, which towed her from Baltimore.
The Phlox was formerly a naval tender
and ran between the Naval Academy and
Baltimore for many years for supplies and
to carry the officers and men. For several
years she has been out of service, and was
sold to be broken up. She is a side-wheel
steamer of about $50 feet long, and is now
lying at Drifuse's wharf at Alexandria,

who were experienced realized that the
proceedings had met with a hitch. The boat
would not slide. and it was soon made ap-
parent to those near at hand that she had
stuck hard and fast.
The company Immediately set to work to
remove her from the ways, and tugs and
men were brought into reQuisition. Several
of the former were attached to the boat
and began snorting and pulling in an eff
Tort to drag the monster off the ways and
into the water, but up to this time they had
wasted their puny strength in battling with
the thousands of tons of stubborn metal,

devised before she be fioated
If the tugs, in cooperation with the by

the work, there is a likelihood that the
battleship Missouri will be attached to her
stubborn sister to show what she can do

PUTTING AWAY CLOTHES.
The Woman who Knows How to
Take Care of Things Always
Looks Well Dressed.

The woman who knows how to put
away her belongings is not only
neat, but economical and generally
smart in appearance. When she comes
in from walk she never hangs up
her coat by the loop inside the col
lar, if she puts it away in the closet
she uses coat hanger-if she leaves
1T around the room knowing she may
need it soon, she disposes it over the
back of the chair that will keep it
in shape. The skirts of her gowns
never have stringy look, because
they are always hooked and then
hung by two folds. For a tailor
made skirt she uses a small coat
hanger with the ends bent down a
little; this keeps the skirt in excel
lent shape and causes it to hang i'll
even folds. The strings of her un-
derskirt are tied and the garment is
hung by the loops, thus never show
ing a hump where it has rested on
the hook. For the same reason her
shirt waists are always hung by the
armholes, unless they have hanging
loops. Handsome waists have both
sleeves and body stuffed with tissue
paper, and are then laid in drawers
or boxes.
Shoes are easily kept in shape b.
slipping pair of trees into them as
soon as they are removed from the
feet. If trees are not available,
newspaper will do, if it is stuffed N
tight. 1t is well to roll each veil
on stiff piece of paper; single
fold will often spoil the set of veil,
and sometimes even mar the express
sion of a face. Gloves should al
ways be removed by turning them
wrong side out; they should then be
turned back again, blown into shape,
and each finger smoothed out. Ties,
especially four-in-hand or golf ties,
should be hung to avoid creasing.
Hats, of course, should be kept out
of the dust and placed so that the
trimming will not be disarranged.

hands. She was able to sit up when
three weeks old, and at five months
of age could swing from trapeze by
one hand.
There may be other babies just as
smart as this, just as strong, but
they had better bring out their rec
ords at once, or Roma will claim all
the laurels. She is the child of Mr..
and Mrs. William de Lhorbe, of Chilli
cothe, Ill. Her mother is 81 years
old, and her father 27. The latter
is an actor and athlete, well known
throughout the middle states. Her
mother is little woman, with no
special athletic training. In her an
cestry, though, she counts direct de-
scent from Nathaniel Hawthorne and
the Giddings, of Puritan fame.
The baby came into the world just
about the same as other babies have.
She was perfectly formed, blessed
with good appetite and sweet dis
position. That she was athletically
inclined did not become conspicuous
until her own actions indicated that
she desired to do things most babies
do not. She showed that she had n
spine of more than ordinary strength,
good lungs and strong arms and legs.
She made use of them freely, almost
from the moment of her birth.
Oriental children often show this
activity, especially Chinese and Jap
anese children and those of India,
but in this country tie examples are
few. Ranas case has attracted u
great deal of attention, and many Of
fers have been made to her father to
exhibit her, but none has been ac-
cepted The home life seems to be
the best for her, and there she is
likely to remain. Her father was
born on farm, and is strongly built
himself. The mother has always hal
good health. The child seems to have
taken the best from both parents.-

INTERSTATE MIGRATION.
Vast Numbers of People Abandon
Their Native States and Settle
In Others.

At least one person in every five ma
tive born Americans is living in a state
other than that in which he was born
striking instance of the mobility of
the people of the United States. The
native population of the United States,
according to the last census, was 65,-
s43,302, of whom more than one-fifth,
| or 21.3 per cent, were living in adopted
states, states the National Geographic
al Magazine.
1t is interesting to note the number
of sons and daughters which the diff
ferent states have sent ont. New York
has sent out more than 1,30O, 900, Penn
sylvania nearly 100000, Ohio more
than 100000, Illinois over 100000
and Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri,
Tennessee and Virginia over 100000
each Proportionately to her popula-
ton Vermont has given to her sister
states more than any other member of
the union. Vermonters equaling in
numbers nearly one-half of the pres
ent native popula tion of the state are
living in other states. Virginia, New
Hampshire, Nevada, Maine and Della
ware have each sent out numbers
equaling about one-third of their pres
ent native population.
Numerically Illinois has received
more citizens from other states than
any other state of the union-nearly
million; S55,000 have entered Mis-
souri,, s3s,0o0 Texas and over half a
million New York and Ohio. The states
that show a net gain from this intermi-
grafton are. Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and Connecticut of the New Eng
land states; New Jersey, West Virginia
and Florida of the Atlantic coast
states. The other New England states
and New York, Pennsylvania and all
the southern states as far a Misslssip-
pi have suffered net losses. For in
| tance, New York has had a net loss of
666,oOO, Ohio $4,000 and Virginia 455,-
422. Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Missouri, the great states of the mid
die west, have each experienced con-
siderable net losses, while Michigan,
Minnesota, Iowa, ArkansaS, Louisiana
and all the states west to the Pacific
coast have made gains. Texas has
gained the most of all-629, 900. Kansas
romes next with gain of 422 900 and
California third with 364, 600.

Probably if Miss Ethel Dickens,
Charles Dickens granddaughter, had
happened to be his daughter instead,
the novelist never would have won the
reputation which he did for mon
strously bad penmanship.
This characteristic of the author of
"Oliver Twist" might have been re-

and then, but Miss Dickens would have
seen to it that his business letters
and, above all, his manuscripts, were

THE BABY'S FLANNELs.
Their Comfort and durability Depend
Very Largeiy oa the Way in Which
They Are washed.

The baby's underwear should be of
flannel, as soft and fine as the purse
can buy, and kept in the best possi-
BILE condition by washing 1t proper
ly. A careless laundress can ruin the
best woolen garments in two or three
washings, making them so shrunlSen
and rough that they irritate the ten
der flesh almost beyond endurance.
The following method has been used
for years with unvarying success, the
little garments retaining their soft.
feecy look until worn out.
Use water that is as hot as you can
bear your hand in comfortably, for
flannel cannot be boiled and hot
water cleanses and purifies it. Dis
solve little borax in it, and add
enough soap to make strong suds,
wash the flannel through two waters
prepared in this way, plunging them
up and down and rubbing gently be-
tween the hands. Rough usage
thickens the texture. Soap should
never be applied directly to the fan
mel. BoraX softens the water, MAX
ing very little soap or rubbing neces-
sary. Rinse through clear water OF
the same temperature as that used
for washing and press through a
rubber wringer. Then just before
hanging them out pull and stretch
every piece in shape, for if this IL
neglected, the tiny wool fbers inter
lace, causing it to become badly
shrunken, Place them smoothly on
the line in the sunshine WHARF gen.
tie breeze will blow through them.
Every part of the work should be
done as speedily as possible.-New
