had information that Mr.. Vanderbilt was inter
esfed in The Dog Show. and meant to attend the
show If nothing prevented him. A county de-

AGAINST RETURNING BOATS TO NAVY

In regard to the report that the Bureau of Nav
igation had recommended that the converted
Yachts loaned to the naval militia of several or
the States should be recalled by the Navy De
partment Jacob w. Miller, of No. llS East Thir-
feminist commander OF the naval militia bat
TALON of this city. said last evening that taking
away the means of practice from the naval militia
seemed inconceIvabe. He said:
THE Aileen the converted yacht assigned TO
my command has been useful in developing lands
men into naval material and has been used con-
tinuously spring. summer and autumn. Not
only should she be kept In this service but an
other boat like her Jhcdld be on the Great Lakes
Although the Aieen may be needed elsewhere by
the Navy Department, yet il is Inconcetvable that
the government should take away the only tools
we have sfor developing sailors unless the
NAVY Department intends replace these vessels
in each great port by some of the large men-of-
war now laid up.

Book Treasures
For ReaL BOok-Lorers

EOR many years there were Just
two bookstores outside OF
New York City that were
notable for their collections OF fine
and rare editions of books. One
of these stores was in Boston, the
other was Porter & Coates, later
Henry T. Coates & Co., of Phila-
delphia.
The entire retail business of this
famous concern was recently taken
over by our Philadelphia store, and
we fell heir to splendid collection
of fnely-bound books IN choice eel
tions.
Today there Is a remarkable col
lection on view-books that con-
noisseurs will enjoy looking over,
lust as they would the Marquand
or any other noted collection
The books include choice editions
of standard works, nearly all OF
which are bound by Tout, Zaehns-
dorf. Root, and other famous Lon
don binders.
An interesting feature Of the sale
is the reduction OF all the Coates
prices. The markings we found on
the sets when they came to US are
still there, and we have affixed
lower prices all the way through.
There is an interesting story to
tell about practically every set
but we cannot take space for 1t
here. These brief hints must sui
fee until you come to look them
