GAVE SUCCESSFUL DANCE
Iunior Order of American Me-
chanics Make Merry.

One of the most successful dances
of the season was given last night by
Annapolis Council No 80 Junior Or
der of United American Mechanics.
The dance was held in Boucher's pa
vilion, across the Spa, and was a
great success in every detail.
Music was furnished by Boettcher's s
orchestra, part of the Naval Acad-
emy band. The floor was in excellent
condition for dancing and the large
crowd present were good natured and
Jolly, and did not in the least mind
being iostled in the crowd OF dancers.
Refreshments were served by the well
known West street confectioner, Gus
Cardes. Dancing continued from 80
to 1870 Although the day had been
the warmest of the season, there were
cool breeZes across the Spa, which
made dancing comfortable and pleas
ant. The threatening storm caused
some of the.dancers,to wend their way
home earlier than usual, but did not
deter.the larger number from remain
ing throughout the evening.

Want to Change Date

And now after it was supposed that
all arrangements as to date for the re-
interment of the body of John Paul
Jones had been decided upon in ac-
cordance with the suggestion of Gov
ernor Warfield, comes Secretary Nor
ton with the proposition to have the
ceremonies upon September 23 desig-
mated finally. Secretary Morton
should know that at that time the
midshipmen will be absent. as well as
many of the officers will still be
away so that the function would be
sadly shorn of the pomp and ceremony.
simply from a sentimental idea Of
celebrating one single one of the great
naval victories of the hero, viz: the
fight with the Serapis. The Presi-
dent, who is to be consulted, will
hardly anticipate the date already de.
termined upon, which is when the Ma
val Academy will be in full operation,
and the ceremonies may be carried
ont in a manner proper to the occa.

An Interesting Relic

A historic and valuable relic of Gen.
Washington has been placed in the man.
or at Mount Vernon. 1t is a mahogany
shaving stand which was used by
General Washington every day he was
at home after it came into his posses
sion. 1t is now in the room in which
il was used. This table is in a re-
markable state of preservation. 1t was
presented TO General Washington by
the first French Minister accredited to
the United States.
The heirloom was purchased by the
Mount Vernon Board of Regents from
Mrs. Thomas q. Cox, who inherited
it. The stand was willed by General
Washington to DIR. Davis Stuart. of
Fairfax, Va, whose first wife was
Miss Washington. AT his death the
table was handed down 10 William
Robinson, who willed it to his daugh-
'er. Mrs. Cox The table was made
in France. There are three drawers,
in one of which General Washington
kept his Iazors and shaving parapher-
MALTA. Mrs. Cox personally delivered
the table at Mount Vernon. While
she declines TO disclose the price she
received for the stand, it is understood
TO have been 81, 600.

LOOKING TOWARD PEACE
Moral Suasion Rather Than Di-
rect Intervention

Moral suasion rather than direct
propositions looking towards the bring
ing about of peace between Russia and
Japan would seem to be the key note
in the talks" between the diplomats.
These talks are, however, necessarily
kept profoundly secret. as the Russian
Bear is in no humor just yet to listen
to any or all of the powers.
The conditions have been greatl V
complicated by the retirement of NJ
Delcasse from the French Foreign
Office, as the Radical party coming in
is not so friendly to Russia. NJ. Del
casse and Lord Lansdown were in full
accordand the retirement of Delcasse
so weakens Lansdowne that the trend
of events in this and other directions
may force our President to open ne
gotiations when the time is opportune,
the more so that evidently there is a
perfect understanding between Berlin
and Washington.

that President Roosevelt has issued an
order creating the rating of tailors
and assistant tailOrs in the Navy.
Heretofore when a jackie had a suit
which did not fit it was necessary for
him to get tailor on shore to have
necessary alterations made, or to have
it done by someone on shipboard.
Either way it was al expense TO the
tailor. The new order provides for
sailors on every ship of the navy. On
the big battleships there will be sew
eral, and at least one on the smaller
vessels. The Navy Department has
not decided upon the pay Of the tail
ors, but it will probably be sl5 or s20
