A KINGS UNDRESSING.
The Ceremony Was Wonderful One
In Louis XVI's Time.

In Memoirs Of the Comtesse de
Boige" Q7s1-1S1D, edited from the
original manuscript by Charles Nicoul-
iaud, is found the following realistic
description Of the "coucher" OF Louis
XVI:
The kings coat. waistcoat and shirt
were taken off. He stood there naked
to the waist, scratching and rubbing
himself as if he had been alone. In the
presence OF the whole court and often
many strangers of distinction. The
first valet handed the nightshirt to the
most highly qualified person. to one of
the princes of the blood II any were
present. This was q right and not a
FAVOR. When the person was one with
whom he was on familiar terms the
king would often play tricks while
putting 1t on. stepping on one side to
make the holder run after him. accom-
panying these charming Jokes with
loud outlaws which greatly vexed
those who were sincerely attached to
him. When his shirt was on he nut
on his dressing gown, while three val
cts unfastened his waist belt and knee
breeches. which fell to his ankles. and
In that garb, scarcely able to walk with
these ridiculous letters, he would shut
1e round the circle of those In wait
ing. When the king had had enough
of 1t, he shuffied backward TO an arm
chair which was pushed into the mid
die Of the room and dropped into ii.
lifting up his legs. Two pages on
their knees Immediately seized his
legs, pulled off the kings shoes and let
them drop with crash. which was a
point Of etiquette. AS soon as he heard
the noise the usher opened the door,
saying, Gentlemen will please pass
out Those present went away. and
the ceremony was finished. However.
the person who was holding the can
diestick was allowed to stay If he had
anything special to say 10 the king,
and hence the value that was attached
TO this strange favor"

A HIGH PERCENTAGE
 MACHINE GUN HITS
A Comparison of Arms Made at Atascadero Camp.

Camp Atascadero, Oct 24.-Highly important machine gun firing Oc- cured this morning, when 10 per cent of hits were made under war cOndi- tiOns by Captain John Parker's men as a continuation of comparative tests between the Hotchkiss and Maxim Vickers gun.
 The former showed several other points of advantage over the present weapon, including the method of car rying and packing of ammunition. Nearly 10000 shots were fired during three hours of work and the neces- sity for organization and training of companies along the lines which Cap tain Parker adopted with his provi- sional organization was clearly shown.
 First Sergeants Seth \. Weld of company NJ and Bernard Schaff of company K, Eighth infantry, both have been commissioned second lieu tenants in the Philippine scouts. and will soon leave for the islands to take up their new duties The for mer is a medal of honor man, a rare distinction in the army.

Not one bluejacket was absent from his ship last night. The conduct of the men was remarkably orderly.

 The battleship fleet sailed out of Yokohama harbor promptly at s o'clock this morning to continue the voyage around the world and the send off that was accorded the Americans as the ships put to sea was such a celebration as never before was heard of or seen in Japan.

HITCHCOCK SURE OF IT.
Taft's Electoral Vote Will Be As Big

Chicago. Oct. 24-Republican ma tional Chairman Hitchcock arrived here this morning from New York. Talking with newspaper men MT. Hitchcock was satisfied that the cleo toral vote for Taft would be about the same as that given President Roosevelt in 1904 and that New York, Ohio and Indiana are safely repub- lican.
 Missouri and Kentucky he placed in the doubtful column, declaring that there was a good chance for the republican ticket to succeed in Kentucky and also in Missouri The labor vote, he said, would probably be cast about as usual between the two great parties.
 In connection with reports that President Roosevelt is coming west, MT Hitchcock said that he consid- cred such a trip more than likely. The campaign he declared had been conducted according to the original plans and this method of working

MARE ISLAND WANTS
 ANOTHER DRY DOCK
It Is Certain That Further Improve nnents at That Station Will Be Recommended.

Mare Island Navy Yards, Oct 24- After four days of official inspection of the navy yards. Rear Admiral HOl- liday, chief of the bureau of yards and docks of the navy department, left today for Washington. It is an nOunced that he will make some i'm portant recommendations for the fur ther equipment of the station here, so as to render it capable of handling the largest fleet that may be sent to these waters.
 For this purpose it is expected that the next congress will be asked to make a large appropriation. The naval authorities are particularly anxious that provision be made for the construction of an additional dry dock. The one now under cOnstruc- ton will be completed by next March and it is felt here that an other is needed, if a large fleet is to be maintained on the Pacific coast in the future.

crowds, gathered to bid the fleet God speed and steamed slowly about the anchored ships.
 Every available launch in the har- bor was pressed into service carrying parties of citizens, anxious to say fare well, out to the ships. Larger steam ships loaded with excursionists. steam cd about ready to follow the fleet out to deep water
 Promptly at 7:3O o'clock a launch bearing the vice minister of foreign affairs, Macy and other Japanese of ficials steamed alongside the Connec- ticut The Japanese dignitaries were received with a salute from the guns of the Connecticut and the usual ma rine guard turned out for them when they reached the deck. Minister Macy was ,he bearer of the farewells of the nation to Admiral Sperry who was on deck early and received the official leave taking with proper ceremonies.
 These farewells said, Rear Admiral Katie, who was of the party was taken back to his own flagship. the Mikasa and immediately thereafter the Com necticut weighed anchor and heading the long line of American ships in single rank formation steamed down the harbor and out past the break waters while the guns of the Japanese fleet thundered the last goodbye of the nation.
