ever alseep in the station. The sergeant
being his superior officer, he had not paid
much attention to him. He recalled that

his attention to the presence Of the ser

ton to the incident. Witness said he gave
the matter no further thought until he

Senator Martin Is very popular in tide
water Virginia, and particularly in this
immediate section. He holds the record of
being a great department worker at Wash
ington, and has done much for the Norfolk
section during his two terms in the Senate.
He has aided on many occasions In obtain
ing and holding work for the Norfolk
navy yard which would have otherwise
gone to the New York and Boston navy
yards, thus giving hundreds of Virginia me-
chanics employment In this yard for months
and months at the time.
This has been felt to such an extent at
Portsmouth where the Norfolk yard is &C
tually located, that practically every polit
ical leader to be found in that city is work
ing in the interest of the denomination and
election of the junior senator. Portsmouth,
approaching in the fullest sense of the term

done for her, will give him a large ma

MISUNDERSTANDING
INSURANCE MEN SPEND DAY AT
MARSHALL HALL.

The Fire Insurance Underwriters OF the
District of Columbia went to Marshall
Hall yesterday for an outing. the number
including about two hundred of the In
surance men of the District. Among the
features Of the program was the presenta-
ton of handsome fishing rod by Mr. H.

ed with humor, to DR.. w. P. Young. the
former president of the Underwriters AS
ISOLATION. DR.. Young accepted the gift
in neat speech.
Mr. Donnelly of the Baltimore Fire I'm
derwriters Association made neat speech
in which he paid the fire department of the
city of Washington a glowing compliment
upon the services it performed during the
confiagration which visited his home city.
He said in the course of his remarks that
the department had certainly reached a
high grade of efficiency as had been DEM
onstrated at the Baltimore fire
The chairman of the board of Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia, Mr..
Henry b. F. Mcfarland, made the ad-
dress of greeting to the underwriters, stat
ing that he was glad to welcome them and
appreciated the fact that the Commission

support from year to year. He added:
w e nope to get more of the funds we
need fer the proper fire protection of Wash
inSton and the District of Columbia. The
prospects for securing from the next Con-
StesS tile IunuS Tor the nigh pressure hre
protection are good, and the Commission
ers of the District of Columbia will again
ask for the appropriation so that the fire
department may reach a much higher state
of efficiency than it has yet attained. We
feel sure that in time we will get every
thing we require.
FOR the past four or fire years you have
off1c1ally aided in many different ways to-
ward the betterment of the fire department,
and 1t Is much on account of your aid that
the high state of efficiency has been arrived
at. The fire department is being aided in
every way possible. and the inspection of
all kinds of large buildings and the electri-
cal wiring has been made with care
ii we all work in harmony in all fields
OF effort as we have in this we will make
OF washington the best we'll as the most
beautiful capital in the world
You represent public spirit here in the
District of Columbia. which is so strong
and active and which in spite of what
some outside critics say has much to do in
forming and organizing the public opinion
which is the real ruler here. l congratula te
you upon the public service which you
are rendering and upon the fact that while
we are working to advance the public in
terest here We are not hampered by poiti-
cal machines or partisan newspapers but
all are working for Washington and the

FERRY SLIP AND WHARF.
Plans for New Structures for the Ferry
COMPANY

The work OF tearing down the old ferry
line house on the river front at the foot of
NJ street has been completed. and tomorrow
morning a pile-driving machine will be
started TO work pulling up the thousand or
two old piles that I'LL the space In which the
new ferry steamer slip and wharf will be
built When the tearing down OF the
building was started a notice was posted
on the wharf that the old material would
be given to any one that wanted II. AS a
consequence people were there with bags.
baskets and wagons taking the wood and
by the time the old building was down the
ground was cleaned up and many families
in the neighborhood had an inexpensive
supply of good fuel.
The pulling up of the old piles will be
pushed along as rapidly as possible but as
there are several hundreds of the piles to re-
move, the work Will take week or more
but as soon as 1t can be done the driving
or the new pile work for the slip will be
started. II Is thought that about June l
the new slip will be in such shape that 1t
can be used.
AS soon the old steamer George Wash
ington. which is TO be taken back to New
York this week. yacates the slip at Alexan-
drIa, the hull of the burned ferry steamer
Columbia. which is lying in the old slip at
Washington. will be taken to Alexandria
and berthed there until some disposition Is
made of her.
II Is stated that the overhauling of the
Alexandria dock and slip will be started
within the next ten days. The slip then is
to be rebuilt entirely and changes are to
be made in the ferry house that will keep
the passengers coming off the boats from
having to cross the path of the wagons and
horses coming ashore.
The architect for the Norfolk and Wash
fEgton company will. 1t is stated go to
Alexandria this week to gather his data
for the drawings to be made for the new
slip and alterations in the ferry hol6 e.
1t is Manager Callahan's desire to get as
soon as possible the steamer that will per-
form the temporary service on the river
soon as possible. and work is to be hur-
ried on the terminals.
IL Is expected the contract for the two
new steel steamers will be placed within
a week or ten days. or sooner IL the bids

THE POLITICAL CANVASS.
Past Week Not Marked by Any Excit
ing Events.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence u lHe
NORFOLK. Va, April %, 1905
There have been no very exciting events
In the state political campaign In south
eastern Virginia during the past week.
Gov. Montague has made one or two
speeches during the week In advocacy of
his candidacy for the United States Senate,
and Senator Martin has also made one
speech during the week as an offset to
that Of the governor.
The feature of the week in the three
cornered fight for the democratic guberna-
torial nomination between Representative
Claude A. Swanson. Lieut.. Gov. Willard and
State Senator WILLIAM Hodges Mann has
been the active canvass of Judge Mann
through that section known the northern
neck Of Virginia. Judge Mann's appear
ance In the counties in that part of the
state has created great excitement among
the farmers and the judge mas made many
friends. Lieut.. Gov. Willard and Represen-
tatiye Swanson are likely to be soOn on his
trail, mending their fences in that locality.
Though the week has been devoid of
noted campaign speechmaking, with the tx
ceptf0n OF the active tour OF Judge Mann,
the several candidates for the United States
Senate and state offices have been busy at
their headquarters in Richmond, getting out
hundreds of letters to their constituents
and doing other work in quiet but highly
efrectual way. Senator Martin Is preparing
for an active canvass In several counties
during the coming week. He Is ready to
answer all the attacks that Gov. Montague
has thus far made in the latter's fight for
his seat in the upper hall Of Congress, and
the senator's friends declare that il will yet
be made quite warm for the governor. who
has chosen to say some very singing things
about the junior senator Followers of the
governor In his present fight say On the
other hand, that the governor has not yet
started in good. and that he has IN store
some very hot shot for Senator Martin as
the camDaign progresses.
While Senator Martin Is speaking next
week the governor VIII be buSily engaged with
the state board of education. which meets
at Richmond for the election Of county and
city superintendent of public instruction
and to take up other state educational mat
tiers The board will be in session almost
throughout the week. though the governor
will have Monday to himself. and he will
likely avail of the opportunity to speak In
some nearby county during that day
Demonstration at Richmond.

just now actively engaged in a movement
to have a great popular demonstration there
In the governors interest A week ago to-
night Senator Martin was accorded great
ovation in the capital city, and the meeting
now being arranged there for the governor
is to be an Offset for the meeting Of Satur-
day night last, when the great popularity
OF Senator Martin in Richmond was demon
strated beyond the shadow of doubt.

The Eneli.hwoman.. LatchEey.

Talking about the British aristocra-
ey, woman who has met it on its ma
tive heath tells me that the feminine
section of it never stirs out without a
latchkey. We carry latchkeys over
here, but we don't do it in the British
way. The American woman ties her
key in the corner of her handkerchief
or hides it under the mat or puts 1t in
to her purse along with cold cream rec
ipes and car tickets and samples. The
Englishwoman parades hers. The wo-
man who knows her tells me that she
has seen latchkeys set with precious
stones and fastened to long chains
She has seen them gilded and strung
from belts: she has seen them with
pins on the back OF them, worn
brooches. She tells me that the Eng
Iishwoman would no sooner leave her
latchkey at home than her husband
would his bath. The thing is possibly
new to the Englishwoman and, being
new, is paraded. With us over here
it is an old story. Possessing the re-
allty, the symbol is Of small moment
