CHARM OF BLUE CHINA
ITS DECORATIVE VALUE IN DIN
ING HALL OR KITCHEN.
The Ware Should Be Good, Old Pottery
or Porcelain-Oriental
Products.

From Harper's Bazaar.
There is a certain decorative refinement
secured in the house and home by the ju-
dicious use of blue and white china which
Is of great value. OF course the ware
should be good of it's kind-preferably rare
old pottery or porcelain, suggestive in the
historic or artistic sense; but wanting this,
fine modern japanese or Chinese products
may be obtained at comparatively small
cost. and once the soft blue CLOVIS above
the chimneypiece. or against the wall, one
is never satisfied to be without it.
It finds its place as tremendously in the
stately dining hall as upon the dresser
shelves in the humblest kitchen; 1t is re-
Elected, with equal beauty. from the pol
ished surface of either dark or light wood;
1t develops genuine radiance in the silver,
brass or bronze placed in juxtaposition.
Old Plates as Ornaments.
A noted art critic has said that blue
china. in the world Of faience, occupies
much the same position that Shakespeare
does in poetry or Velasquez in art, and
this is undoubtedly true, for it has outIived
long years of changes in art and fashion
custom had not withered its infinite charm,
and. where It has withstood the effects of
time and the all-powerful hand Of the SER

land. is the domestic destroyer, it is cher

paintings and treasured belongings Of an
cestral wealth.
Some wonderful and beautiful rooms
have been designed to enshrine the blue
and white treasures of fictile art, notably

Honored by New Mexico.

President Roosevelt. Gen. Leonard Wood
and Senator Quay have been honored by
the legislature of New Mexico in a unique
manner. The extent of the territory is so
great and the county divisions 50 large that
when the territorial government desires to
pay especial honor to any of the great men
OF the country 1t redivides its largest
county and names one section in honor Of
the person 1t desires to honor. Grant, Lin
coin and the present governor of the ter
ritory Mr.. Miguel Otero. are the only
persons that had received such honor up
to the meeting of the legislature in its last
session. when bills were passed authoriz-
ing the redivision OF the counties and tho
relaying OF the lines so that counties should
be named for the President. Gen. Wood and
Senator Quay. The counties are to bo
known as Roosevelt. Leonard Wood and
Quay counties and are to be brought about
by the discontinuance of Guadalupe county
and the enlargement of Rio Arriba county.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH

Speed Of Transmission Between Diff

while Marconi and other inventors are
experimenting in other parts Of the world
with the wireless telegraph the only place
on earth where 1t has been put into actual
operation on a commercial basis Is Hawaii"
said Mr.. A. r. Server, chief examiner Of
the civil service commission to a Star re-
porter today.
Mr.. Server spent some time in the islands
Of the Hawaiian group. and, like all visitors
to the enchanted region, is enthusiastic re-
garding them. In continuing his remarks
on the subject OF the wireless telegraph he
said
1.-THE system used In Hawaii is that in

OF hfty-eight miles. The average distance
between stations Is more than forty miles,
and messages are easily and accurately
transmitted, though the price Is rather high,
being 81 for ten words and 20 cents for each
additional word. The business of the COM
pany is said to be dourishlns.
First Expense Of tho Plant.
''The entire nrst expense of the plant
was only $4,000. much less than would
have been the cost Of laying cable, and

Kill General Otis). Commissioned"
Captain Taylor called the attention of
the chief of the. bureau of insular affairs
to this document in the following letter:
Sir: / have the honor to incloSe here
with copy and translation of an impOr-
tant document 1 found among the records
OF the Philippine insurgent government
yesterday The note on the back is in
the handwriting of Emilio Aguinaldo, a
handwriting with which am familiar and
one of such peculiar mannerisms that 1t
cannot be mistaken by one who has seen
much of 1t. 1 have quantity Of holo-
graphic letters and notes in my official
possession; the most cursory comparison
between them and the handwriting of this
note will show its identity.
''On January 4, 1899, a proclamation was
issued by General Otis in which he de-
clared the sovereignty of the United States
over the Philippines. Many protests were
Most of them were drawn up by order Of
the insurgent government. but this letter
was probably an unsolicited evidence Of
the adhesion Of some Katipunan lodge or
of one Of the popular clubs in Manila or
ganized by Sandico while in the pay Of
the United States government; clubs whose
name covered their real purpose. the for
nation of groups ready at a given signal
to attack the Americans within the city.
Probably this paper was handed to Agui-
naldo by delegation of the signers. If
this was the case. the man who signs
first. Feliciano Cruz, was one of the dele
gates. Aguinaldo probably talked with
him in private, and as a result of the con-
versation he wrote this note on the back
of the paper. The other name does not
appear in the signatures. He was prob
ably some follower or intimate of Cruz
1t Is to be noted that General OTIS resi-
dence was in the barrio, or ward, of San
Miguel. The signers of this paper were
men who lived about 1t and knew the
grounds well; some of them may have been
servants In the house. The attack on the
American outposts did not occur until Feb
ruary T. 1900"
What Gen. Otis Says.
General Otis. who is in Rochester, N. Y,
gave out the following statement last night
in regard to the matter:
AT the time mentioned in the dispatch
we were living in tine summer palace, near
San Miguel. Near us were a large number
or F1lipfnos. over whom. however, we kept
careful watch day and night. We had
long expected such an order from Agui-
naldo. Captain Taylor. at that time upon
my STAFF in Manila. was detailed to trans
late papers captured from the insurgents.
He had not at that time ran across any
such directions from Aguinaldo. I presume
that this paper was among the lot that
was turned over to him. I understand that
he Is still translating. thank you very
much for this late warning"

made up his mind what course to pursue.
He went straight to New York, where he

convincing the italian of the advantages
to be derived from such a venture and
secured the desired franchise covering the

matter will probably be taken up next
winter and arranged so that the District
work in connection with the undertaking
may go forward simultaneously with that
of the railroad companies. In the meantime
there Is much work to be accomplished by
the railroads In which the District will not
be financially concerned. One of these fea-
lures is the construction Of the tunnel
under Capitol HILL the plans for which
were approved by the Commissioners only
few days ago. Mr.. w. H. Brown, chief
engineer of the Pennsylvania system, has
written to the Commissioners saying the
company will soon begin work on this sub
way which will carry the trains from the
south into the union station. The authori-
ties were much delighted with this assur-
ance of the immediate beginning of work
on the project and the apparent disposition
Of the railroads to push the whole matter
forward with the least possible delay. The
cost of inspecting the work to see that 1t
is carried out according to the approved
plans will be borne by the railroad COM
panies. Mr.. Brown has stated that he will
forward deposit to cover this expense
in the next few days. --"-'1
Meanwhile. it may be stated that work
has really been in progress for some time.
The civil engineers of the railroads have
been in the field for some weeks past and
have staked out many Of the new lines and
the important details of the trackage ar.
rangements in the northeastern section Of
the District.
