TESTING THE BATTLE
SHIP CONNECTICUT.
Naval Experts Trying to Find Ont
Her Center of Gravity.

Naval Experts Trying to Find Out
Her Center of Gravity.
New York, Nov. 5.--With six of the
old steel turrets of the battle ship In
diana, Naval Constructor William j.
Baxter made test to determine the
center of gravity of the new battle ship
Connecticut. While the result of the
test will not be known until the mathe-
NAUTICAL experts of the construction de-
partment finish their work on the data
obtained, the unofficial announcement
is made that the test will prove sat
isfactory.
Technically the purpose of the test
was to determine the metacentric by
noting the difference between the CEN
ter of oscillation and the center of
gravity. In more simple language, the
purpose is to determine if the center
of gravity is low enough to insure sta
bility and high enough that the ship
will not have d Jerking motion in
seaway that interferes with the ac-
curate firing of the guns.
The experiment was made by moving
the six heavy pieces of armor, which
were mounted on trucks, from one side
to the ship to the other. The dip of
the vessel, which in this instance was
approximately five inches, will with the
formula which is used in experiments
of this kind determine how much the

BEAUFORT.

Beaufort, S. c., Nov. 5.-A charm
ing event of the week was a delight
full Halloween reception given by the
Commercial Club to their many
friends. The programme consisted of
fortune-telling by two masked gypsies
in a dimly lighted parlor, where
soft red light diffused a glow that
was emblematic of the ancient festi-
val. A very pleasant and amusing en-
tertainment was derived from this
source. Other rooms were appro-
priately decorated with autumn leaves,
cornstalks and jolly jack-a-lanterns.
Games, dancing and elegantly serv-
ed oysters with other dishes were also
much enjoyed. Exquisite music was
discoursed by a brass band from the
clubs front piazza. Altogether it
was one of the happiest events ever
provided by the hospitable clubmen.
The chaperons were Mrs. w. H. Hull,
Mrs. M. Gregorie Elliott, Mrs. Charles
Cohen, Mrs. John N. Wallace, Mrs.
Thomas c. Doremus, and Mrs. c. c.
Townsend.
President c. c. Townsend and other
clubmen contributed greatly to the
pleasure of the evening by their cor
dial reception of guests.

BriIliance of baroness PIanches.

Another pretty picture seen every
day upon the streets in these sunny
autumn days is that of the Baroness
Mayer des Planches. wife of the Ital-

mounted harness and jingling trap

about with rings on her fingers and
bells on her toes" thus making music
wherever she goes. The Baroness is

accurately speaking, is in the youth of
middle age, and a very handsome wOm-
an of the dark and tragic type. But

gown she carries a stunning parasol

is the envy of feminine beholders as
nothing of it's kind can be purchased
for love or money on this side of the

THE PRESIDENTS DAUGHTERS
INHERIT HIS STRENUOSITY
Ethel Becoming Rival of Miss Roosevelt in
Popularity.

Washington. Nov. 5.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt has Joined the executive
household for a few days, but will
soon fit upon her merry social round
again, having promised half a dozen
visits in as many different places be-
fore the regular season begins at the
capital At the Parker-Lyman we'd
ding last week she wore an extremely
becoming costume of biscuit-colored
wolfe, tucked at the bottom and fluffy
at the top, with one of the newest
and smartest of big black hats, trim
med in light blue velvet and pink
roses.
The Presidents 12-year-old daugh-
ter, Ethel, inherits at least two of
her fathers pronounced characters
ties. They are extreme plainness of
face and remarkable skill in horse
back riding. Miss Ethel has already
become postmaster in the art of rid
ing, and in spite of sallow skin, weak
eyes, nondeScript features and unduly
prominent front teeth, she makes an
attractive picture in her divided skirts
sitting aStride her handsome pony
and wearing a pair of jaunty yellow
riding boots. Usually one of the White
House footmen or grooms follows at a
respectful distance and often she is

no means a beauty, and just at the
awkward age when growing girls

third elbows-the President youngest
daughter is a most amiable little
friend of everybody, rich and poor,
and is perhaps more generally beloved
than any other member of the Roose-
welt family.

Return of the CamerOns.
The return of Mrs. Don Cameron,
wife Of the ex-senator from Pennsyl-
vania, with her young daughter, Miss
Martha Cameron, to their home on La
fayette Square, will not only add a
distinguished debutante, to the upper
strata of society, but bring back a
hostess whose place has never been
filled, even though her home has been
occupied by a series of gracious and
prominent women. The Cameron man
sion is that historic residence nearly
opposite the White House, which was
known as 1.-THE Cream White House"
when Vice President and Mrs. Hobart
lived in it. The late Senator Hanna
and his wife, lived in it for a time
and entertained regularly; and SO did
the Henry Kirk Porter'S, of Pittsburg.
Mrs. Cameron is still in Paris, where
she has resided except for brief visits
to America, ever since the retirement
of the senator from the Senate, and
where Miss Martha Cameron has been
educated. The latter, who is the only
child of Senator Cameron's second mar
riage, is just eighteen and is said to
possess all the charms of face and
manner which made her mother, when
Miss Lizzie Sherman, and a niece of
the then lieutenant general of the army,

The wife and daughter of the late

winter. Mrs. Quay has made no plans
beyond the present season, and has

also been shattered by death, spent the
