Anti-Saloon League Plans-Celebrati ton
of Washington Anniversary
cial Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, February %, 1905.
The executive committee of the Mont
gomery County Anti-Saloon League held
a meeting here this afternoon, nearly all
the members being present including Mrs
Chapman of Kensington, elected at the re-
cent annual meeting of the league, and the
first woman TO be chosen a member of this
committee. Plans for the future work of
the organization were considered at length
and 1t was unanimously agreed that there
should be no let-up in the attitude of the
league toward volators of the local OPP
ton law 1t was suggested that instead of
employing detectives to ferret out violations
of the law the league might place funds
in the hands of the county officers for
this work. This gave rise to a lengthy dis
cussion, but the sentiment of the commit
tee was strongly against this plan, and it
was decided to continue the warfare along
the old lines. A finance committee, to con-
sist of Messrs. John II. Gassaway. Benja-
min II. Miller and George r. Beal was
named
Washington's birthday anniversary was
observed by the public schools throughout
this county with appropriate exercises.
Heretofore the day has been a school Holt
day but the state educators decided that
the anniversary should be devoted to pa
triotic exercises by the children. and for
this reason the schools were not closed
Under the school law all schools receiving
aid from the state are required to observe
the occasion in the manner stated. In most
of the schools of this county the program

superintendent OF public schools. WAS ear

Mr.. Roland II. Brooks and Miss Ruby

were late this afternoon married here by
Rev w. L. Locke, pastor of the NJ T..
church South. The ceremony was per-
formed in the office of the clerk OF the cir
cut court in the court house. and was
witnessed by quite gathering of court
house officials and others. From the con-
Nersatiou of the young lovers il is believed
they were clippers. Before reaching Rock

to nave the nuptlal knot tied. They FIRST
visited Alexandria. but. owing TO the youth
OF the young lady. a license waS refused
them there. They then proceeded go Wash

ment, they found the marriage license Office
closed, but there was no hitch at Rock

plaids that are really more deserving of the
name of checks than of plaids never COM
pletely lose their popularity. There is
something so trim and smart about them,
and they are so universally becoming, that
they are seen more or less every season of
the year, In various weights, of course.
AS a matter of note there will be more
plaid and check effects worn this spring
than have been seen in long time, and
invariably they will be combined with cloth
In plain color to match the predominant
ing one in the plaid or check. whichever it
may be. A bit of embroidery or some SINH
lar touch of trimming will be used, and the
costumes made on this order will be quite
the smartest of the season
Tailor-like simplicity, which has not been
strictly adhered to in the making of this
style of costume during the past few sea-
sons is one of the charms of the design
suggested on this page. The skirt is cut the
usual walking length and is hid in kilt
pleats that form clusters. Down the front
is a plain part resembling a graduated
panel and on either side one widening pleat
turns toward the center. Next to this is

similar pleat that comes not more than ten
inches below the belt. where it is inter
rupted by a pointed band of plain clotn;
From under this four stitched pleats fall
to the bottom of the skirt and appear to be
a part of the first forward turning pleat.
Above this band there is plain part and
then two more pleats reach from waist TO
hem. This is followed by plain panel.
and after space another cluster of two
pleats. In the back there are two pleats
each side of the center and stitched TO turn
toward this.
A wide hem finishes the bottom of the
round skirt and this is quite simply stitched
twice. There is no silk drop lining in this
skirt, for the intention is to keep 1t as
light and cool possible, and, besides, the
taffeta underskirt is by means so inn
portant 1t has been in previous seasons
The short coat is supplied with a narrow
white vest made of broadcloth and TRIM
med simply with black soutache in con-
ventional and somewhat military pattern
1t closes down the center with row OF
small black buttons. Each side of the vest
is broad band of the plaid stitched on
both sides. This starts under the collar
and. after forming point in front. con-
tnues around the back in the same width
A pleated position made with two inward
turning pleats each side of the center open
ing seems to continue the idea introduced
in the coat back. This is cut after the
French style, and gives both length to the
waist and breadth to the shoulders by hav-
ing two forward turning pleatS start at the
shoulder seam and gradually narrow as
they approach each other at the belt.
A fiat plain cloth collar finishes the neck.
This is cut off almost straight across the
front where the vest begins. The sleeve Is
unusually full for cloth, and It is set in the
armhole with two pleats turning away from
a broad-stitched band that extends from
the shoulder seam to the cuff. Below the
bend of the arm the fullness Is gathered
into shaped gauntlet that forms two points,
one either side of the stitched strap. a mar
row plain cloth cuff turns back smartly at

PAUL JONES THE FEATURE.
Gen. Porter Speaks at Washington's
Birthday Banquet in Paris.

The feature of the Washington's Dirt hday
banquet of the American Club in Paris Yes-
terday was a speech by Ambassador Porter,
detailing the search he has prosecuted the
last five years for the grave of the founder
of the American navy, John Paul Jones.
Before coming to France said General
Porter, Il felt a sense of humiliation TO
think that the most fascinating hero of the
revolution and the founder of the American
navy had been permitted to lie for more
than "A century in unknown and forgot
ten foreign grave without an effort to
cue the remains from oblivion"
The ambassador related the remarkable
search that has been made to determine the
authentic grave of Jones. Historians diff
fered concerning his resting place. The
archives were burned during the revolution
and the commune of 1871, and the records OF
the national assembly, which appointed the
distinguished delegation for the funeral or
John Paul Jones, failed to disclose the burial
place. An interesting letter was discovered
showing that no money was available Tor
the funeral. and that NJ. SimonneuX, COM
missary Of police generously PAID out OF
his own pocket expenses amounting TO So
The search finally made IT certain that the
interment was III the now abandoned st.

cost of the investigation, amounting to S35.-

THE NORTH SEA INQUIRY.
Rumored Report in Favor of the Rus
sian Side of Case.

A semi-oflcial statement appeared IN
Paris last night relative TO the work OF The
international commission which has been
considering the North sea incident. 1t IS
as follows:
The Hull commission met this morning
in the Office Of the minister OF foreign AZ
fairs. and again this afternoon. IN order
to proceed to final examination of a re-
port reCapitulating its conclusions. The
port is rather long comprising about ten
large pages. The principal author is Ad-
mral Won Spaun (Austrian), but all the
members of tie commission collaboratcd IN
drawing it up.
The commission gives no opinion on tho
question of the presence or absence Of jap
anese torpedo boats in the North sea. de-
clartng that the Russian admiral quite
lcGitlmately believed that his squadron was
endangered and that he had the right under
the circumstances as act as he did. The
commissioners refer to the Russian govern
ment's engagements to indemnify the VIC
Tins Of the depIorable incident.
THE report Will be sent tomorrow by
special messengers to the Russian and Brit
ish governments, not because it is liable to
notifications at the instance of one or
other Of the governments. the commission )
decision being without appeal but the COM
miSSiouerS do not wish the powers interests
ed to simply learn through the press of the
last public sitting and the conclusions ar
rived at There IS nothing in this preim-
mary communication or report except AZ
act Of Difference
A cablegram from London says: A strong
chord OF Indignation is sounded in the
latest London daily newspapers over the
semi-otiicial statement relative to the de-
cisiOn of the North sea commission giving
to Russia the victory, but 1t is still hoped
that the publication OF the full text of the
commissions report may modify the i'm

For travelling, and who does not feel the
need of a costume for this special purpose,
this model might be developed in a mixed
material with vest collar and cuffs of soft
leather. AS yet 1t IS not made up in any
material.
a stunning walking costume presenting
similar idea to the Illustration was made
Of blended gray plaid that was hardly
large enough as to pattern to be termed
plaid. The skirt was pleated in graduated
box pleats that were stitched just to the
curve of the hips. The material was cut on
the bias and the plaid part of the skirt was
cut three inches shorter to show what
seemed to be an underskirt or double one.
Of plain gray broadcloth covered with a
band of silver and gray braid. There was
very little of the silver. merely enough to
give bright touch to the trimming.
The bolero, or short Jacket had a vest
made of gray cloth and trimmed with the
same braid and the sleeves were exactly
like those of the model previously described.
The band extending the full length was of
gray cloth and the cuff, too, was gray while
the turn-back part was fashioned Of braid.

Coming to Inauguration.

The steamer Pocahontas, belonging to the
Virginia Steam Navigation Company of
Richmond, Va, will visit this city during
inauguration times with a party aboard
from Richmond, If the ice is out of the
river. The steamer will arrive here March
and will sail March 8. AS yet she has
not secured docking room, but it Is ex-
pected she will go to the 9th street wharf
OF the American Ice Company. Several
other steamers, report says, will bring par
ties here for the Inauguration ceremonies.
but so far the Richmond boat is the only
one known to have made positive arrange
ments for the trip and to have made in
quirles regarding wharf space, either here
or at Alexandria 1t is thought probable
that the steamer Pennsylvania of the N.
Y, P. & N. railway will bring a party
from Norfolk If the ice will allow.

Emigrant Child Serfs.

From the Toronto Globe.
1t has been stated that children sent to
Canada by charitable organizations are
kent in a condition of servitude and are
often cruelty treated, AS the only Canadian
influence favoring this immigration is the
desire for cheap labor, 1t is quite possible
for some of the children to fall into the
hands of hard taskmasters. But the treat
ment of the imported children must remain
largely a matter Of accident. The people of
.::-c, Ontario are rule reasona BILE
considerable and kind. Some are cruel and
inconsiderate, and these may have furnished
the unfavorable examples cited.
