President Taft tonight was the prin-

this city.
Mr.. Taft was sharply criticised q

General Giant as a man, as soldier
and as chief executive Of the United

Al the dinner Mr.. Taft spoke as fol-
lows:
There are certain things with re-
spect to General Grant that today
come back with reference to our Fass-
ing life. They said that Grant had
not the military genus that u her gen.
erals displayed in the war. To my
mind his mind and brain represent the
very genius OF the war to suppress
the rebellion. because it was his
mind that grasped the thought that

DEWEY DEFENDS
AMERICAN NAVY
BUT BELIEVES IN SHIP SUBSIDIES
TO ENCOURAGE OUR MER-
CHANT MARINE.
NO SIGNS OF WAR NOW
LACK OF GOLFERS AND TRANS
PORTS NOT so SERIOUS AS
LANDS ASSERTS.

misunderstanding, with char
acteristic vigor, the American navy,
Admiral Dewey asserted Thursday
that not only is our navy not bluff"
but that he is confident that it would
give good account of itself should
war ever come.
The admiraps remarks were called
forth by statement attributed to for
mer Representative Lands of Indiana,
who, in recent speech at Cincinnati,
Ohio, advocating ship subsidies, is
quoted as saying that those Ameri-
cans who are informed consider our
navy bluff"
Declaring that he saw no war clouds
gathering on the horizon, Admiral
Dewey discussed several phases of the
navy. He expressed himself as heart
lily in favor of ship subsidy legislation,
and made strong plea for the con-
tinued upbuilding of the navy.
Referring to the remark attributed
to Landis, Admiral Dewey said: "Of
course, what Lands meant was that
the navy would be comparatively use
less in time of war without necessary
auxiliaries draw drom the merchant
marine.
"He," continued Admiral Dewey,
wants subsidy for our ships of COM
merce, and so do l."
The admiral expressed the belief
that ship subsidy Legislation could be
secured were it not for the use of the
word subsidy" which, he said, many
people did not like because they
thought that it meant something for
nothing.
"But the American navy is not quite
so helpless as one might imagine from
Landis' remarks" said the admiral
1--WE have fifteen colliers and several
transports already in the service. or
course, these would not be enough in
time of war, and l hope that we will
continue to add to that number. If we
were to have war we could purchase
as many ships as we might need. We
did so in the Spanish war. 1t would,
of course, be great deal better II we
had them already"
The admiral declared that the United
States needed a merchant marine, not
only for the value it might possess as
furnishing auxiliares to the navy, but
to Garry the American flag to the mar
kets of the world.
But he said, there will be no
war. And so long as we go ahead
steadily and moderately in adding to
our navy, replacing the older ships
with the most modern type, thus keep
ing our navy abreast of the world, no
one will ever be able to say, like
Lands, that other nations do not re-
gard the American navy seriously"

Mass Meeting Nominates Hearst.

New York.-W. R. Hearst, once de-
feated for mayor OF this city by
George b. Mcclellan, and later de.
feated by Charles E. Hughes for gov
ernor, was nominated for mayor We'd
nesday night at a mass meeting OF
1000 of his admirers.
The principal address was made by
William NJ. WINS, Republican candi-
date for mayor against Hearst and
Mcclellan four years ago.
Il come here as Republican and
former political opponent of Mr..
Hearst" said Mr.. WINS. Il ran
against MIR. Hearst four years ago
and would then have regarded his in
stallation in the New York mayoIalty
is great public calamity.
But for four years now | have
watched him and | am now convinced
that there is not a more sincere, more
public spirited or more capable gem
tleman and citizen before the public
than Mr. Hearst.
Justice Gaynor is carrying the ban
ner for the gang. He is the stalking
horse for Tammany. He leads the
vilest ticket that has ever been placed
before New York"

over thirty-four miles of mountain
road brought President Taft Thursday
night to this lovely little Sierra re-
treat, eight miles from the entrance

Yosemite and the impressive surround
ings, the bracing mountain air. the
freedom from speechmaking all con-
tributed to the pleasure of first day
of roughing 1t in the Sierras.

A new addition to table service is
known as the green corn server.

by which the corn is carried to the
mouth.
The holders look like daggers and
are stuck through the ends of the ear
A set of these should make a most

GOOD TO REMEMBER
METHOD OF SETTING" coLoRS
IN WASH GOODS.
Ounce of Sugar of Lead Dissolved In
PailfuI of Water Recommended
Dainty Idea That Comes
from Germany.

Setting" Colors in Wash Goods
Alum in the rinsing water will keep
green from fading. Linen suits and
shirtwaists should be washed in hay
water (made by pouring boiling water
over hay). and they will keep their
color for a long time. One ounce OF
sugar Of lead dissolved in pailful of
water will set almost any color, and Is
especially good for blue prints. Soak
the goods for two or three hours and
let dry in the shade before washing
with soap and water. Do not try to
boil the tinted or figured goods, and
do not use washing soda or strong
soaps when washing them. If they are
much soiled handful of salt thrown
into the water will set the colors. Use
warm or nearly cold water in which
to soak these things. 1t is much bet
ter than hot water, and the dirt loos-
ems quite as readily. Use ox-gall for
setting the color in gray or brown
goods, and vinegar in place of salt
to set colors in black, purple and hell
otrope.
The Hausfrau Useful.-An idea hail
ing from Germany is one which the
dainty housekeeper will welcome. 1t
is an idea for the beautifying of the
bathroom, and one which housekeep-
ers may find of interest, called the
Berlin hausfrau. This is a piece of
linen, shaped like a large towel, which
is thrown over the used and unused
towels on rack A smaller piece of
linen to match it is made to cover the
wash rags. These linens vary. of
course, as to decoration, some of them
being very ornate and having a border
design which is duplicated in all the
linen used in the room such as the
stand cover, or, if the bath be con-
nected with bedroom, in the dresser
covers, bed spreads, inner curtains
for the wardrobes, and so on. Some
of these designs are worked in sam
pier fashion, in cross stitch, and those
in poster effects are especially telling.
Sprinkling Clothes.-If for any rea-
son you have not sprinkled your
clothes the night before you wish to
iron them, try sprinkling them with
boiling not water. Use a clean whisk
broom, as it sprinkles them much fin
er and evener than by dipping the wa
ter in your hand AS soon as your
clothes are sprinkled, and tightly
rolled up, put on your irons to heat
BY the time they are hot your clothes
will be ready to iron as nicely as if
they had lain over night Always iron
the linens last, as they require more
dampness.
Trifies from Tissue Paper-Women
who are deft with their hands can
make all manner of trifes for the
house out of tissue paper. Among the
serviceable articles thus made are ia.
BILE mats, to slip under hot dishes
They are composed of strips of tissue
paper braided, like the old-fashioned
braided mats. A piece of cardboard is
the foundation. Glove and handker-
chief cases, sachets and many other
things for the dressing table are made
of fiowered tissue paper, and are very
pretty.

Scrambled Fish.

Beat up three eggs, add one table
spoonful of cream or milk, season
with pepper and salt. Melt two
ounces of butter in a stewpan and to
this add two or three ounces of faxed
fish (any white fish free from skin
and bone will do). fry for few sec
onds and then add the eggs. Stir well
over the fire until the mixture thick
ems and serve very hot, piled up on
pieces of hot buttered toast.

BARGE CAPTAIN
RESCUES BOY
JUST IN TIME
Twelve Year Old Frank
Zisak Was Sinking When
Norman Reached Him.
AT LEHIGH VALLEY STAKES

Frank Zisak, twelve years old, of
Huntington street, was almost drowned
while bathing off the stakes near the
Lehigh Valley wharves Saturday. He
was rescued after sinking the third
time, by Captain Frederick Norman, of
the barge Chelsea, WHICH was tied up at
the stakes.
The lad, with other boys, had gone
in swimming. Zisak could not swim
and the other boys promised to look af-
ter him and, trusting to their care, he
dived into the waters of the sound. I'm
able to swim he soon sank. The boys
screamed for help, as did the drowning
lad, and Patrolman Andrew Jensen
heard their cries and ran to the scene.
Before the bluecoat reached the water s
edge, however, the boy sank for the
third time and would have gone down
but for the timely action of Captain
Norman. He dived for the boy and
fortunately reached him at the first at
tempt.
The lad, when revived, began to cry.
