Washington, d. c., March 3o.-There
is a difference of expert opinion in re-
gard to the proposed abandonment oil
the naval coaling station at Dfy Tor
tugas. Rear Admiral R. B. Bradford,
who is responsible for the establish
ment of the. station there, is anxious
that the transfer of the place from the
navy department to the treasury depart
nient shall be opposed, while the naval
general board has urged that the plant
at Dry Tortugas be taken to Guanta-
nar1o. Secretary Bonaparte has advised
house naval committee that more than
81, 100000 has been expended on Dry
Tortugas, and that it costs $1,000 year
TO maintain the. plant. Some of the
naval officers who have advised Secre-
tary Bonapartesin the matter, have point
ed out that the place has now lost its
strategic value and would be difficult to
defend should an enemy seek to make
an attack upon the coal pile in time OF
war. The naval general board is prac-
.tically committed to policy which in.
slsts upon the fortilication of coaline
stations, as well as the arming Of the
Ecolllers. Mr. Bonaparte has advised
congress that the treasury department
should reimburse the navy department fol
some of the expenses incurred in estab-
lishing the coaling station at Dry Tor.

fraction of the original expense of es.
tablishment can be exacted, probably
not more than $2oo,ooo. ..@. IN

George II. Smith, the Great Northern

he is placed on trial at the next term

Smith was not content with the reg

Lee and on several occasions he has
ordered fruits and pastries of various
kinds from local stores. The goods
were delivered to Smith at the county
jaib and in payment for the same, the
former employe OF Jim" Hill gave his
personal check which was drawn on the

were taken without hesitation by the

Despite her advanced years (she

charming home in Boston, surround
Or by her children and friends), Mrs.
Julia " ard Howe retains her aptitude
for the making Of clever phrases. \
few days ago. on her return from Bal
timoTe, when she had been rccuper~
ating from g slight Illness, Mrs.
Howe was driven through one of the
side streets Of Boston with friends,
and passed the charitable eye and ear
infirmary. That institution does
much coed, and no one knows it bet
ter than Mrs. Howe. But as she
looked at the building and slowly
read the name, she said, without the
shadow of a smile: Il don't see the
good Of that place" why, what do
you mean?" asked friend, in aston
ishment." This said Mrs. Howe:
81 did not know there was a char
liable eye or ear IN Boston,; SO what
is the use OF an infirmary for them?"
Though she had lived all her life in
Boston, Mrs. Howe never had lost
sight Of the peculiar characteristics
of the residents of the Hub.

An Expert Laundress Advises Rlecl

A good laundress is what is need
ed to solve a serious problem for the
woman who wears mourning, par
Licularly in the summer. Black goods
not only look warm, but are warm
and the black lawns and sheer goods
are avoided by most women because
it is generally thought that they can
not be laundered with much success.

A certain laundress who is well
known among her clients as an au-
thOrity On all matters of soap and

ing directions, which will bring the
best results if attended to carefully:
Dissolve a heaping tablespoonful
of black starch in two tablespoons OF
lukewarm water. Then pour a quart

but do not let it boil
Wash the dress in a little soap

Dry the dress and then pour the black
starch over it. Let the dress get a
little bit dry. then roll it up, without
sprinkling and iron upon the wrong
or under side, over a black cotton
cloth. The dress will look as good
as now"
An easier way to solve the problem
is not to wear pure black in summer.

almost as deep mourning as black"
