A WATERS FLING IN SOCIETY
Exposed at Bar Harbor Reception

Exposed at Bar Harbor Reception
 as Servant of the Gerrys.
 Philadelphia, Sept 19.-A former servant Of the Gerry household, mas queradfng as a titled foreigner. at Bar Harbor, has done much to enliven an otherwise uneventful season at that resort He is described as handsome distinguished looking and highly agree able. It is impossible to learn who first introduced him. So sudden was his coming and so hearty his welcome that no one seems to be responsible for him, and no one made any attempt to verify his lofty pretensions.
 He had travelled much. and knew many persons of distinction With easy grace he spoke of being on terms of intimacy with distinguished Flu ropeans. He had also passed some time in New York, and was apparently on the same pleasant terms with many of the leaders of New York society.
 He was fond of music, which possi. bly, is one of the reasons why he be came attentive to Philadelphia widow whose musical abilities have gained her much prominence. They were often seen together, and some thing more than a summer filtration was hinted.
 All went well with the agreeable for eigner until in an unlueky moment he attended an afternoon reception. Hard ly had he entered the room when one of the women guests was seen to go quickly to the woman of the house and hold a whispered conversation with her. Consternation held fast the audacious adyenturer, for the guest, who had just arrived at Bar Harbor, recognized in him former servant of the Gerry family in New York and 8 waiter at the Cafe Ritz in Paris.
 Some years ago similar affair oc- cured at Bar Harbor, when a Wash ington girl was about to become en- gagged to an Italian barber

A Board of Naval Officers to Report
 On the Subject.
 It has been decided by the board of naval officers, consisting of Captain c. M Thomas, Surgeon E. G. Beyer and Lieutenant D. F. Sellers, which was appointed some time since to con fer on the advisabilfty of erecting shore barracks for the navy, to hold a conference aboard the Franklin at Bos- ton in October, at which time the mem bers of the board will present in writ ing their several views on the subject These opinions will then be sent to the secretary of the navy in the form of a report, in which the places for the per manent barracks will be recommend ed. Sickness in the navy was the primal incentive to this step, and the increased force tnecessitated some bet ter manner of taking care of the men than that offered by the receiving ships Following the recommendation it will remain for congress to appro- priate the funds required for the build ing of the barracks.
 In his coming report to congress P. M. Rixey, surgeon general of the navy, has prepared a strong statement affect ing the hygienic conditions of the re- ceiving ships when they were over crowded, by recruiting, and with his report before it congress is not likely to refuse the appropriation that will be asked.

"And when they had kindled
a fire in the midst Of the hall,
and were come together, Peter
sat down among them. But 4
certain maid behind him as he
sat by the ere, and earnestly
looked upon him and said, that
man was also with him." And
he denied her, saying, Woman
] know him not Luke 22:55-
81.
Peter lied. He bad been
with Christ every day for near
" three years and yet when a
little risky maiden pointed her
finger at him he wilted and he'd
lied three times, and TO cliach
IT, "cussed". like Roman sol.
der. The trouble with Peter
was that he had been a fisher.

My face is rosy and healthy.
