Admiral Dewey Is spending the sumo

tended the annual basket picnic of the
Orange County Veterans Associationi
where he was given the time of his life,+
and made a speech, saying:
II want to state in the first place that
the battle of Manila Bay and the Span-
ish-American War were sufficiently sea
rious propositions to suit the most dis.
eliminating, but when compared to the,
bitter struggle of 1S61-65 they were
mere child's play. The civil war was a.
struggle worth talking about. I was
there, and know whereof 1 speak. 4

good deal of rivalry over the effort to
secure the incest.
In giving the reception to Mrs. Abbie
A. Adams. the Department of Mime
sofa is departing from the regular rou-
tine also. do not remember that this
courtesy has ever been rendered a Ma
tional President before. There are no
cards issued except to distinguish guests
and Convention delegates and officials
but the rank ard file of the Woman's
Relief Corps and their friends are cor
daily invited to attend. The reception
will be at the University Armory, Tues
day afternoon from to 8.
General regret is expressed that COM
mander-in-Chief Tanner finds 1t irnpos-
sible to give the National President
Mrs. Adams, but one hour of his time
on Wednesday evening, for the recep-
ton which she as National President OF
the Woman's Relief Corps will tender
him. It is not possible for one-quarter
of the people who will want to attend
to get within hailing distance OF the
receiving line at that time.

It one grand artistic success. The color

must not forget two old, old marble

Capitol Commission since its formation
In 1893.

Corps of Minnesota. Mrs. Ida K. Mar
tin Department President, and Mrs.
Bertha NJ. Allen. Chairman of the Com
mittee on Accommodations, assisted by
Mrs Lorena Devoll, are at headquarters
in the Abdrus Building every day, and
they are doing tremendous amount of
work. Upon them has devolved the la
Dor of securing the rooms for the city's
guests. Secretary Nye has given the
Relief Corps high praise for what 1t has
done. He says that Mrs. Martins $50
Relief Corps women are doing what
would have cost his Committee $500 a
day had he been forced to hire it done.
Mrs Martin has also inaugurateG an
other extremely pleasant feature. She
has appointed from her General Com
mittee hostess from each State. That
hostess Is to have her committee at the
trains to look out for that particular
State delegation; that is, IL the hostess
can find out when the delegation will
arrive. Mrs. Martin has been unfor-
.unate in not being able to get replies
to her courteous letters of inquiry, SO
that if any State is neglected 1t will be
the fault of its Department President
and not of the hostess. Each hostess
and her committee will escort the men,
bers of the delegation about the city,
obtain information for them and look
after their comfort in every way dur
ing the Encampment Then there is
Floral Committee of which Mrs. Lu-
cinda Andrews Is Chairman. That COM
mittee has task before it. These Ia
dies will see that every Department
headquarters is decorated with flowers,
and will each day supply new ones.
Think of the tremendous task of sup
plying about 100 bouquets of flowers
every day, to say nothing OF distribut-
ing them. The National Tribune repre-
sentative can speak with knowledge of
this beautiful courtesy, because The
National Tribune headquarters at the
West Hotel have been bountifully sup
piled with these prettiest of Natures
fair children by the Department of
Minnesota.
I The floral idea began early in the
Spring, and 1t grew, and It grew, like
the little peach tree, until it has taken
full possession of several city lots. This
idea is certainly unique. Some Of the
w. r. c. ladies determined that there
should be no stint of flowers, SO they
hired city lots that were vacant, had
them cultivated, and planted them with
flower seeds and bulbs paid for by the
Corps Of the city. and have assiduousiy
tended those gardens with their own
hands. Now they have great beds Of
flowers In bloom, and when those fow-
ers go to the guests of the city they
will carry personal thought and effort
IN every bud and blossom. 1t seems to

The Hea1thiest City.
Here is a bit of information for the
guests of Minneapolis which 1 think
should be welcome. Minneapolis Is the
healthiest city in the United States for
its population. A list of 20 of the larg-
est cities in the United States shows
that Minneapolis stands at the head
with death rate of little over eight
to each 1000 year. Another thing
that Minneapolis is specially proud of
is that she exPepds more money for her
public schools than any city on the list,
Boston only excepted. She has better
teachers, has proportionately more
teachers In number and has a better
school equipment than any city on the
list. except possibly 1.-The Hub" above

fact that this is a compliment to the

OF course, everybody Is wondering
how to dress for this climate. 1 would
suggest that you come prepared for cool
weather, and supplied with at least
heavy underwear, II you do not bring
heavy outside clothes The weather
has been delightfully."- cool and pleasant
for the last two weeks and while the
mercury hikes way up yonder In the

You will want cool white and light
dresses for the day, but in the evening
light wraps are almost necessity.
Word has been received at Encamp-
ment headquarters that 300 veterans
will attend the Encampment from
Cleveland, coming in a special train.
The Executive Committee has decid-
ed to provide register upon which
every veteran attending the Encamp-
ment will be listed.

floor are Minnesota granite. These i'm
mense columns are in one solid piece
anG polished to a mirror-like glossiness
equal to the finest Italian marble in the
building. 1t is quite impossible to give
an adequate idea of the superb marbles
from Greece, Italy, Africa and France
which go to make up the decora tions,
and many of the States of the Union
have been drawn upon for their prod
ucts. The Supreme Court Room is COL
umned with white Vermont marble, and
in its general appearance very much
resembles the Supreme Court Room of
the Capitol at Washington, which used
to be the old Senate Chamber. The
House is decorated with columns of
Vermont marble and IL and the Su-
preme Court Room and the Senate
Chamber are furnished and finished n
mahogany The leather finishings of
the Capitol are all of bronze brown
pigskin.
The Senate retiring room is exquis-
itely done in dull gold with panels of
gray-blue. The wall panels are In deep
crimson, covered with Venetian pat
oak, while the freplaces and hearths
are of red Numidian marble from Afri-
ca.
The room which appealed to me most
of all, 1 think, is the retiring room of
the House. The ceiling is beamed and
crossbeamed and decorated in colors
and dull gold. The walls are wainscot-
ed in hand-carved oak, and above the
high wainscot Is painted continuous
frieze of tree trunks, with an irregular
line of the foliage showing at the top,
and at the foot bordering the frieze is
continuous painting of the many wild
flowers of Minnesota. 1t Is all SO ex-
Quisitely done that you feel as though
you were looking into dim old forest
under and through the trees, birches,
oak, walnut, hickory, maple, and at
your feet all of Natures dear children
were crying to be gathered.

Decorating the City.

The matter of decorating the city for
the National Encampment seems to
have been held off a good while, for 1t
was only settled and the contract let
last week. From a conversation l over
heard at breakfast one morning / am
led to hope that old Sol will be kind
with his rays, and Jupiter Pluvius gen.
tie with his watering can, for gathered
that the men to whom the contract was
let are not in the regular decorating
business, and that they intend to use
cheap cotton stuffs. This, of course,
would be all right inside, but anybody
who has seen a city cheaply decorated
just after rain knows what cheap dec
orations can do in the way of running
and fading. The scheme of decoration,
while not very elaborate, is capable of
being especially effective IL done with
good reliable bunting. There are to be
two Courts of Honor, one named for
Lincoln and one for Grant. There will
be tall triumphal column at each end
of each court and smaller white col
umns along the sides of the street. Be-
tween these will be festoons Of greens
and Flags and at night streamers Of
vari-colored ell lactric lights. The de-
tails of these courts will be carried out
to represent Liberty" There is to be
very pretty display of electric light
ing. but, generally speaking, the citi-
zens and business men are expected to
do most of the decorating. The mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie and the Woman's Relief Corps are
making a special effort and personal
plea to their friends to make the dec
orations as lavish as possible.
Grand Stands.
The place for the reviewing stand has
ftret ca1o hi 10 70 ta. ta
private grounds of Mr.. T. B. Walker,
one of the wealthy lumbermen of the
city, at the corner of Hennepin Ave

the committee. This reviewing stand
will accommodate about $500, and the
admissions will be by ticket from the
Commander-in-Chie
After arranging for the reviewing
stand the Commercial Club decided to
have other stands erected in proper
places and to charge a reasonable ad-
mission.

have granted the C. A. r. committees
permission to erect grand stand In
