The Book Club of Zion neighbor
hood is composed of about thirty la.
dies, who are capable not only of en-.
joying the intellectual privileges of
the CLUB, but also of entertaining
most delightfully."-.
One of the most unique functions
given by any member was
that given by Mrs. Allen Harlan
Thursday. The club was invited to
spend the day. "Oakwood Farm" is a
grand old place, and has always been
noted for it's genuine hospitality. The
guests seemed to feel the spirit of it
with the first word of greeting from
the gracious and charming hostess,
and their enjoyment seemed as limit
less as that of children throughout
the entire day.
The affair was entirely al fresco.
The day was perfect; the sun seemed
to lend its brilliancy without it's in
tense heat, and the breezes seemed to
forget it was midsummer, and waited
the fortunate guests back to spring
and to childhood.
The large lawn was arranged with !
hammocks and rustic seats, swings of |
every kind, croquet sets, etc., and a /
rustic table from which lemonade was |
served by Mrs. A. E. Sheldon The |
op of the table was sawed from an
log and the mint for the
emonade grew in pots, which formed
most appropriate table decoration.
Another artistic feature was a NINA
ure spring in mound of rocks and
ems, and plentifully supplied with
ime-honored gourds.
About midday the long rustic table
vas duly clothed in white and decora-
ed, and then ladened with everything
God to eat; all this was done under
he supervision of Aunt Easter"
hose face was aglow with delight
yer the success of this, one of the
lany, many dinners she has prepared
pr lakewood visitors during her life.
Ir. Harlan then appeared and as
lined his position as host, alternately
arving the stuffed lamb and giving
word of greeting to his guests. Z

as perfect, and perfectly did the c
nests enjoy it. 6
Mr.. and Mrs Harlan are to be con. n
ratulated upon the artistic beauty
the occasion, which, in conjunction .
it'll all that was conducive to the
'mfort and pleasure of the guests.

'ery standpoint; one that reflects

Hard Lines for His Lawyers, Who
Want Him to Have Patience.
Mother Indulgent, as Usual.

NEW YORK. February G.--Mrs. William
Thaw took a strong hand in the case of
her son. Harry Is. Thaw. yesterday. She
telephoned to Lawyers O'Reilly and Pea
body. summOning them to her hotel, and
stated that she wished them to take some
immediate steps to get Harry out of Mat
teaWan.
HE will 20 crazy If they keep him
there any longer" she declared.
From some outside source the elder
Mrs. Thaw has received a long and de-
tailed account Of her sons surroundings
and life in the Matteawan Asylum. She
has been told that he spends all his wax
ing ',ou's in the company Of hfty-seven
hopeless lunatics. that he encounters mad
men at every turn, and that his sleep at
night is broken by the bowls and gbber-
ings o. mental wrecks. These reports
have alarmed her and she is insistent
that her son be placed in a different at
mosphere.
- Littleton Is Weary.
Up to the time Mrs. Thaw received
these reports about Thaw she was recon-
ciled TO Lawyer Littleton's plan Of delay.
Nothing but a personal inspection of the
asylum will convince her that Thaw il

for the welfare of her son may disar-

NEW NAVY PORTRAYED
ILLUSTRATED LECTURE AT 1ST
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

..Our New American Navy was the
subject of a stereoptican address given
at "a patriotic carnival at the flrst
Conversational Church. 10Th ana u
streets northwest, last night by Mr.. w.
II IT. Smith Of the Navy Department.
The lecturer called attention to the hrs'
sbins of war which formed the Spanish
armada destroyed in the Straits of Dover
by the English ships under the command
of Drake. He then traced the evolution
of the ship of war down 10 the A'"eri-
can revolution. and showed pictures of the
Bon Homme Richard. commanded by John
Paul Jones. The various types or war
ships in use during the civil war were
also shown upon the screen, and Mr.
Smith declared that at that period the
world first realized the need for IRON
clads. This was occasioned, he said. by
the battle OF the Monitor ana Merrlmac
in Hampton roads.
Following the civil war. Mr. Smith de-
cIared. the world saw the ships OF war
pass from sailing vessels TO those entlreiy
propelled by steam. He then showed the
beginning of the new navy in the sos.
THE Atlanta Boston. Chicago and Dol
phln.' he said. were the real beginning
of our new method of sea warfare The
Boston he characterized as the aristo-
crat" of the navy. because the vessel
is now about the oldest in service. The

The pictures OF the latest ships of war.

val power in the world.
Commenting upon the alleged prospec-
tive war with Japan. Mr.. Smith declared
such a conflict to be impossible from sew
eral viewpoints.

REPLIES TO CRITICS
c. B. BREWER SAYS BATTLE
SHIPS ARE NOT DEFECTIVE.

NEW YORK. February 6.-Charles b
Brewer, formerly chief craftsman of the
bureau of construction and repairs Of the
navy. and member Of the Society OF
Naval Architects and Marine Engineers.
has written an article on 1.-The Truth
About the Navy" which will be contained
in the number of Harper's Navy to be
issued Saturday. 1t is a reply to the al
legations Of the existence of defects in
the various vessels of the fleet made by
Henry Reuterdahl.
Mr.. Brewer points out that he now has
no connection with the Navy Depart
ment nor with any firm having contracts
with the government, so his statements
are impartially given.
The charge that the main armOr belt of
all our battleships is under water when
they are fully equipped and ready for sea
Is first taken up by Mr.. Brewer. He
says, in part:
Weight of Ships.
1.-THE full load weight of a 10000 ton
ship. such as the Louisiana, Connecticut,
Minnesota, Vermont, Kansas or New
Hampshire, is about 1850 tons to 1880
TONS The similar weight Of a 15.000-ton
ship. such as the Virginia, Georgia. Rhode
Island. New Jersey and Nebraska. is about
5000 tons. and for a 12,500-ton vessel,
such as the Maine. Missouri or the Ohio.
1t is about 1850 tons.
when in a condition anywhere be-
tween the indicated limits the heavy
armOr belt will extend above the water
line between twenty-four and fifty-one
inches for the Connecticut. Vermont.
Louisiana, Kansas. Minnesota and New
Hampshire; between seventeen and thir-
ty-fOur inches for the Virginia Georgia
Rhode Island. New Jersey and Nebraska,
and between seventeen and fOrty-seyen
inches for the Missouri, Maine and Ohio:
Even were the charge tue the ships
would not be in the fatal condition
which the article leads the reader to
think. for there is armor of consider
able thickness Immediately above the belt
armor. which extends from eight TO fl teen
feet above, and it is also backed by
coal bunkers and a heavy protective deck
which affords a large degree of resist
ance to even the heaviest shell at close
range"

DR.. A. w. Ferris. president of the state
lunacy commission. is of the opinion that
Thaw had too much liquor and tobacco
when he was in the TOmbs. Thaw will
not get these things in Matteawan. When
DR.. Mcclure. who was in charge of the
Tombs. was asked today what he had to
say about the statement of DR.. Ferris he
stated that Thaw had very little stimu-
liant in the Tombs. He was allowed to
have some liquor because it was thought
it would be good for him. He smoked
quite a good deal. but not as much as
before he was arrested.
Bullies His Lawyers.
A few of Thaw's lawyers have had a
very disagreeable time since he was ac-
quilted on the ground that he was in
sane at the time he killed White. Mr..
Littleton has held to one course-that
there was only one thing for Thaw to do
after his acauittal. and that was for him
to STAY i'm Matteawan for about a month
before any effort was made to get him
out on habeas corpus. Mr.. LittletOn
knows that the principal witnesses on any
proceeding TO have Thaw released would
have to come from the asylum, and those
Witnesses COuiO not uc cApcSleu u tcStily
until they had had sufficient time to OBJ
serve Thaw.
Thaw has not been very gentle with the
lawyers Peabody and O'Reilly. who have
visited him at the asylum. He has told
them that unless they get him out in a
few days he would discharge them and
get other lawyers. They have been try
ing to convince him that at the proper
time they will take the necessary action to
have him released, but he declares that
he should be released at once and taken
to a sanitarium where he may' do as he
pleases.
From what could be learned during the
day IL is not likely that the lawyers will
make any Immediate effort to have Thaw
removed from Matteawan. Although
Thaw may fuss and demand to be taken
ont they will OUDOSe his Idea.
