Sketch Of the Order.
The Ladies' OF the Maccabees of the
World is an association coordinate with
the Knights of the Maccabees Of the
World both orders being founded upon
the history and traditions Of the Macca-
bees dynasty. The Order of the knights
of Maccabees of the World was established
in London. Ontario, in 1873, and in 1888
was recognized. spreading within few
years to many states, with auxiliary
branches for the wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters of the members. From this.
the work of organization of the Ladies of
the Maccabees spread. and soon three state
organizations were formed. Each state
organization was independent of the order
in the management of its funds, but all
worked as auxiliary branches Of the
knights of the Maccabees In its various
jurisdictions On October I. 1892. the

Ladies of the Maccabees Of the World was
organized as an Independent order under
its own articles Of association. The Of
fcers Of the Supreme Hive were chosen
from among those women who had already
had experience in state and subordinate
hives.
Soon after the organization of the Su-
preme Hive arrangements were entered
into by which direct representation was
given to the states OF Michigan. New York
and OHIO. these states then being under
separate Jurisdictions In 1898, action was
taken whereby the Great Hive for Ohio
came under direct jurisdiction of the Su-
preme Hive. and in 1889 the same action
was taken by the state of New York, the
totai membership under this consolidation

Competition for the New Battleship..

It Is evident to naval officers that the
competition for the contracts for the two
big battleships, bids for which are to De
opened next month, will be limited TO nve
bidders. Only that number of firms In TINS
country have asked for the confidential
plans upon which to base their estimates.
The firms from which BIDS may be received
include the Cramps Of Philadelphia, the
New York shipbuilding Company the
Shipbuilding Company and the Bath (Me.)
Iron Works Much interest attaches to
these bids not only as establishing the cost
OF the construction OF the ships, put pc
cause of the comparison which will be
possible between bids from the private
plants. with the estimates furnished by the
navy yards at Mare Island, CAL. and at
New York. The naval constructors at
those yards have been instructed to prepare
bids of what 1t will cost to build one of
the battleships at each Of their respective
establishments.
There is strong movement in New York
to have one of the new battleships named
after the Empire state. At present the
only naval vessel named New York Is
cruiser Of type which will soon De opso-
lete. Delaware. Utah and North Dakota
are also anxious to be represented in naval
nomenclature. The claims of Delaware
will undoubtedly be conceded. as that is
the only one of the original thirteen states
not recognized in the new navy.
Overalls for All Troops.
Hereforefore working clothes or overalls
have been issued without cost to the
cavalry and coast artillery troops, it be-
ing held that the Cavalry had much dirty
work to do about the animals. and the
coast artillery people were engaged around
greasy machinery. It is now considered
that there is quite as much reason for CIV
ing infantrymen apparel of the same kind.
For that reason it has been arranged that
there shall be a gratuitous issue of white
canvas clothing to all troops, mounted and
unmounted.
Graduation Of Midshipmen.
The Secretary of the Navy has approved
the recommendation that exercises be held
at the Naval Academy at Annapolis on
June for the graduation of the remainder
of the class Of 1907. There are now sew
enty-four members Of that class. which
has had two graduations, one last Sep
tember and the second in February. This
will probably be the last class to have
these premature graduations. as the Naval
Academy authorities are opposed to any
shortening of the academic term. Succeed
ing superintendents have filed protests
against having the midshipmen leave the
academy within shorter period than four
years to be succeeded by two years at sea.
II is considered that this period is hardly
sufficient to meet all the requirements and
fit the young men for their duties.
Three Warships for Sale.
\ The Navy Department has invited bids
