LETTER FROM NAVrS SECRETARY
Governor Warfield Invited To De-
liver Address At The Paul
longs Ceremonv.
Jones Ceremony.

As a speech maker as we'll as the
chief executive of the great state OF
MARYLAND, Govenorr Warfield is q
marked success. Yesterday in the
official notification of the change Of
/ date of the funeral ceremonies attend
ant upon the entombment of the re-
mains of John Paul Jones, in the
crvpt of the Naval Academy chapel,
Governor Warfield Twas invited TO de-
liver the address on that occasion.
The Secretary Of the Navy writes as
follows:
Navy Department.
Washington, August 23,- 1905.
NY Dear Governor Warfleld - nave
been instructed by the President TO
notify you of the date finally selected
for the Paul Jones commemorative
celebration. This has been fixed for
April "a. 1906, being the anniversary
of Jones' capfure of the Drake. There
has heen a great deal of difficulty in
settling upon satisfactory day. The
President and General Porter both
wished the celebration TO occur on
Septelnber %, the anniversary Of the
canture of the Serapis, but there were
very serious objections TO this date.
The midshipmen would have TO be re-
called from their leaves of absence. or
else given none, and the condition of
the yard was reported by the comman-
dant to be such as greatly TO detract
from the dignity of the occasion.
Other dates in the autumn were
considered. but il was finally decided
that a postponement until next spring
was unavoidable, the decisive consid-
GRAFTON being that we could then OBJ.
tain readily the presence OF a French
squadron. which, il was thought,
would add very much to, the attrac-
tiyeness of the occasion. l have had
a conference with Admiral Sands, and
it is thought advisable to confine the
attendance, as far as may be practl-
cable. to naval organizations. IL is
hoped. however, that the Maryland
Naval Reserves will attend in full
force. as they ought TO be given a
place of some prominence. 1t is hoped,
likewise, that you may be willing 70
act as one of the speakers on the occa-
sion. tie other two being the Presi-
dent and General Porter.
Finally. the President directed me
to request that you would favor the
superintendent and myself with your
advice and SUGGESTIONS respecting the
details of the ceremonies. 1t Will not
be practicable TO place the remains III
their final resting place on this occa-
sion, nor vet for sometime, probably
number of months, later, as the crypt
cannot be finished until long after
the date named, but the Admiral sug-
gests that they be removed from their
present temporary location 20 one OF

this removal will be feature Of the
commeoration When theygare finally
placed in the crypt this will be done
without ceremonies.
Pray, believe me, as ever,
Yours most truly,
CHALRES j. BONAPARTE.
The Governor replied to Secretary
Bonaparte, stating that he would be
pleased to be one of the speakers at
the ceremonies on April 2i, and that
he would confer with the Secretary
aud Admiral Sands as to the arrange
ments at such time and place as might

The final decision was on the grouhu

strange land and mark beginning for
her life. AT the same time a sturdy
little Greek only a year her senior was
struggling along trying to keep up with
his excited father who had just landed
and was anxiously looking for the
friendly face of a relative who was to
meet him. Worn out by their strug-
giles and the excitement of the hour the
German mother and the Greek father
stopped side by side little back from
the surgfng crowd Though they had
not a word in common it was here that
the friendship sprung I'D which cul-
minated with the marriage ceremony
last nigth.
The ceremony last night was perform
ed by Greek priest, Leon Pigeas, who
came from Chicago for the purpose.
Elaborate preparations had been made
for the ceremony and there were Greeks
presen@ from all over the state and
numerous guests from other states.
The ceremony proper started at 8o'clock
but the preliminary ceremonies had
been in progress for the past 4S hours.
The groom's place of business has been
closed for the past two days and will
remain SO for two days more as this is
part of the ceremony and the time is
to be taken up with feasting and merry
making. The more timid of the Ameri-
can guests were somewhat frightened
as they neared the family home last
night as they heard volley after vol

porches. 1t was only part of the cere-

After the ceremony was concluded
refreshments were served, much after
the style of an ordinary wedding, with
the exception that they were more
elaborate and varied, the serving of
pie being the .only feature that was
out of the ordinary.
At intervals throughout the cere-
mony an orchestra played in an adj
joining room, but as soon as the cere-
mony was concluded the music was
stopped and the brothers and 1mmed1-
ate men friends of the groom danced
the wedding dance of ancient Greece
which can only APPLY be described by
comparing it to the dance of the
American Indians
Meats for a three days feast were
barbecued in the yard in the rear OF
the home and these will be used IN
feaSting and it will not be necessary
to cease merry making, not even to
prepare meals until the time set for
the departure of the bride and groom

a trip around the lakes and will then
make a trip to the mountains of Colo
