Names and Christening Presents.

From the London Mail.
The youngest generation of today shares
the advantages with the elder OF the great
improvements which have been made In the
realms OF applied art.
Instead Of the ugly silver christening mug
of the '7Os, the most graceful cups and
vases are given. The guild of handicraft
is often called upon to execute customers
own designs A favorite pattern is the tall.

cles. comedians. chrysoprases. and general

With regard to names, the tendency is 10
return to the quaint old titles of our great
grandniothers' time, and Gladys. Mabel or
Gwendolen has been replaced by Joan or

The names of precious stones are also
very popular for little girls. Lord Edward

uncommon name given to the baby girl OF
Lady Hardinge whose husband has lately

PROPOSED CURFEW Law.
Question Discussed by Suburban Cih-
zens' Association.

The Bloomingdale, LIE. Droit Park and
Reservoir Heights Citizens Association met
last evening at the Rhode Island Avenue
M. P. Church, with President Emig In the
chair. The greater portion of the evening
was given over to a discussion Of the pro-
posed curfew law for the District. Rev.
Zed II. Copp, probation officer of the Juve-
nile court: Mr. Smith Thompson. president
of the Georgetown Citizens Association.
and Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts. president of the
reform bureau, were the speakers.
Mr.. Copp gave some very interesting sta
tistics. showing that the greatest number
of arrests Of Juvenile offenders are made
during the hours when these children ought
not to be on the streets. He declared that
fully rs per cent of the arrests occur during
the hours proposed for the restriction OF
children. During the month of June last
year there were more arrests than In any
other month of the year. From to
o'clock in the evening there were no ar
rests while from to there were three ar
rests; from to 9, ten arrests; from to 10.
eight arrests; from 10 to IL, twelve arrests;
1. In the morning. twenty-three arrests. all
those arrests being OF boys and girls under
seventeen years Of age.
With a properly enforced curfew law, Mr..
Copp declared he believed that fully 80 per
cent Of the children now drifting into evil
and vicious life could be saved. The wealth
of nation. he stated. Is not in her treas
ures, but in the integrity of her citizens.
Mr.. Copp told of the wide Endorsement OF
the law as proposed for the District and OF
its successful operation In other cities. ~
Mr.. Smith Thompson said the George
town Citizens Association had Endorsed the
law, and he believed 1t had acted wisely in
doing so. He thought the Commissioners
would eventually recommend favorable ac-
ton on the measure to Congress. After
Mr.. Crafts had spoken of the benefits ac-
cruing to other communities through the
enactment of curfew laws. the association
voted to indorse the general provisions or
the proposed law and to refer the matter to
the committee on schools, with request ior
a detailed report at the next meeting OF the
association. which will be held the early
part of September.
The proposed curfew law provides that
children under fifteen years of age shall not
be abroad on the streets, when unattended
by parents or guardians, after 10 O'Clock az
night from April 1 to September 30. ana
after o'clock during the remainder OF the
year.

SENATE PASSED
THE NAVAL BILL
NEXT TO GREAT BRITAIN'S
WILL THE STRENGTH OF THE
AMERICAN NAVY STAND.

Completion of the Naval Programme
VIII Mean That the United States
VIII Make Decided Advance in
the Power of It's Navy-Germany,
Russia and France VIII He Sur
passcd-A Surrender 10 ArmOr
Makers, Bacon Charges.
Washington. March THE Senate
to-day passed the naval appropriation
bill, which has been before it for the
past four or five days, and then pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the
army bill.
The principal question debated in
connection with the naval bill was
that of the price and method of sup
plying arrnor plate for battleships.
and it grew out of an amendment
suggested. by Mr.. Patterson of Colo
RADIO providing for a government
armor plant. He ultimately withdrew
the amendment, but offered others
limiting the price of armor and pro-
hibiting purchase from trusts, all of
which were laid on the table
An amendment to the naval bill pro-
posed by Mr.. Hale was agreed to, in
creasing the amount for the navy yard
at Charleston, S. c., from $656,50O to
$S44,5OO.
In speaking of the continued growth
of the navy, Mr.. Patterson said the
completion of the naval programme
would place the United States ahead
of Germany and Russia in actual ton
mage and ahead of France and next to
Great Britain in effective fighting tom
mage and my judgment" he con-
tinued, lis that sentiment will not per-
init the United States at any time in
the future to fall behind in it's naval
power, any nation that it has passed.
Mr.. Patterson discussed the Philip
pine question, saying that while he
did not believe iii holding the Philip
pines he was of the opinion that the
majority of the people were against
him, and therefore the day was far
distant when the people of that archi-
pelago would be given their freedom.
Mr.. Bacon did not accept the view
of Mr.. Patterson as to the retention
of the Philippines, saying that he
hoped the conscience of the American
people would be aroused over the in
justice of the present situation.
Speaking on the armor plate ques-
ton. Mr.. Bacon said that this govern
ment had utterly and abjectly SUR
rendered to the armor makers, leaving
them to charge their own prices with
out effort on its part to make armor
for itself.
The reading of the army bill had not
been concluded when the Senate adj
journed.

According to arrangement, Mr.. and

state) said the witness.

apostle?"
Eyes, sir"
The witness was asked by Mr.. Tay-
lor if she had seen Apostle Young be-
fore, and she said she had in Diaz and
Jaurez two or three times and that
she could not be mistaken. She could
not identify picture of Young, how
ever.
Mrs. Kennedy said she lived with
Mr.. Johnson about five years, part
of the time in the same house with
the first wife and part of the time
away from Mr.. and Mrs. johnson. She
said she has two children by Mr..
Johnson, one of which is now living
She separated from Mr.. Johnson at the

"Well, l could not stand the pres

What do you mean by could not

man Burrows. "Were you not treated

dead.

"And Mr.. McDonald-Don't you know
that he is dead? asked Mr.. Worthing-
ton.
mo, had not heard that" said Mrs.
Kennedy
The witness became confused sew
eral times under cross-examination and
made some contradictory statements,
which for the most part she corrected
later, when her attention was called
to them by the attorney for the prose-
cution. She was unable to give a de-
scription of Apostle Young.
! Chairman Burrows adjourned the
hearing until tomorrow, with Mrs.
Kennedy still on the stand.

Premier BaIfour Made Statement
in the House.
London, March TN the House Of
Commons tonight, Mr.. Balfour re-
viewed at length the entire situation
prior to and after the cabinet crisis
last autumn.
1t was not within the region of prac-
teal politics to suggest a tax on food,
tine Premier said, and Joseph Chamber
lain had reached a similar conclusion.
Concerning the allegation that he
had kept any material facts from his
colleagues, the Premier said he could
not imagine a more preposterous state
ment. Never had more foolish or
more baseless charge been made than
that he had jockeyed his right honor
able friends out of the cabinet by
keeping Mr.. Chamberlain's resignation
secret. Mr.. Chamberlain himself had
announced his resignation as colonial
secretary to the cabinet.

eral congressional investigation of pos
tai affairs. Mr.. Cowherd read from a
letter written by an agent of the time
clock company, intimating that money
would be used to influence favorable
action by Heath and Beavers. Mr..
Cowherd said shares of Montague In
dicator stock had been given to Beav-
ers and Heath, and he thought some
measures might have been taken to
find out whether there had been any
unlawful act on Heath's part.
GeOrgians Not at Fault.
Senator Clay and Representatives
Brantley, Adamson, Bartlett, Lewis,
Tate and Lester all agreed that a
false impression had been given in the
sensational stories printed this morn
ing.
Senator Clay said that he had no
apologies to make for having recon-
mended certain increases at the re-
quest of his constituents. which were
intended to give adequate postal fa-
cilities in certain localities.
The other members of the delega-
ton took the same view of the situa-
ton, and those who were not men
toned in the report said that they
would have made similar recommended
lions under like circumstances.
The three Georgia cases cited are
so Insignificant that but little impor-
lance is attached to them. In New
York, Indiana, iowa and several other
states, where the amounts exceed ST.
900 each, there appears to be reason
able ground for complaint 1t is evil
dent, however, from the statements of
Mr.. Overstreet that the committee has
no intention of pursuing the investiga-
ton to the extent of rejecting upon
the integrity of the invidiual members
who simply in his judgment, were per-
forming their duties to their constitu-
ants.

RECEIVERS WON'T OBSERVE
A Contract of the Company IL They
Think Ii Unvvise.

Norfolk. Va, March 7.-As a Sc
quence to the Tunis Lumber Company
receivership, a contract was recorded
in Norfolk county to-day whereby the
Tunis Lumber Company, through
f. M. Wiley, president, for $4,000
agrees to sell all it's products through
the Wiley, Harker, Camp Lumber
Company. The contract was drawn
March 26, 1903 and executed June 8,
1903 by E. M. Wiley, president of both
companies in New York.
Theophilus Tunis, one of the re-
ceivers, Is authority for the statement
that the contract will not be regarded

better served through other channels.
He is director in the Tunis Company,
but says he had never seen the con-
tract until to-day.
Mismanagement was charged in the
petition for receivers.
