II Is not many months since a great
stir was created because the silver
service presented to the battleship
Mississippi bore on it's center piece
likeness OF Jefferson Davis, president
Of the confederacy, and who served his
state in other distinguished capacities.
A loud protest went up against the
Mississippi accepting the service with
the likeness Of Davis upon IL. The
navy department received many pro-
tests, but to all these IL turned a deaf
ear and declared that inasmuch as the
Union had been re-established and
Mississippi was a member OF that I'm
ion IL could favor whomever IT pleas
ed In the premises. The storm finally
blew over and the famous Davis CEN
ter piece found itself aboard the bat
tleship Mississippi and may now be
seen there together with the other six
ty-one pieces comprising the silver
service presented by the Mississippi
ans.
All the services presented to war
ships have been paid for by popular
subscriptions and represent the rank
and file OF the people OF the respec-
tive states and cities. 1t is for this
reason that they are SO highly valued.
They represent in a way the interest
taken by the common people In the
United States navy and their especial
interest in certain ships 10 which 10.

Lewis WOULD LIKE

about the nom appearance of Britt or
not. The Kewanee boxer promised to
meet the winner OF the Lewis Burke
fight and he should have given his final
word last Saturday Both New York

Billy in action. Lewis claims to be
very anxious for the chance to get on
with a man of Papkes reputation. If

be fool enough to draw outof that

transportation money and received it
makes 1t almost a certainty that he

And IL Coffroth has a hand in keeping
Ketchel hidden away In the mountain

There would be no counting the dollars

Good Service Provided.


appreciated. officers generally prefer
simpler sets. The government provides
good table service for all it's ships and
such rich silver service is but a dupli-
cation OF a china service already
abroad.
A service such an presented to the
battleship Missouri is regarded with
favor by the department and while this
one was elaborate as to design It's ex-
tent is ideal. II consists OF |; bunch

four punch cups and q box for holding
the set 1T is true that this particular
set cost $4,000 but similar sets less
elaborate and quite as ornamental,
can be procured for fraction OF that
price.
The Wisconsin for instance has a set
Of twice the number OF pieces, which
cost just half what the Missouri set
did. This set includes two punch bowls
and trays; two ladies'; two candlebra,
a fruit dish, a center piece, a compotier
and twenty-four punch cups
From statement compiled by the
navy department the price OF the vari-
GUS sets Is obtained and the prices very

SILVER SERVICE

Washington. Aug. 2s.--Most of the
battleships and cruisers In Uncle SANS
navy have been presented with
an elaborate silver service by the peo-
pie OF the states or cities the names OF
which they bear. With few excep-
tions all OF the older ships have been
so supplied and steps are now under
way TO supply most OF the ships that
have entered the service within the
last year or two. The movement now
under way In North Dakota to provide
for a silver service for the battleship
bearing the states name attracts at
tention TO the general custom and an
inquiry into the practice evolves some
very interesting information.
TO date about 1866, 900 has been rails
ed by various states and cities for the
silver service for American warships
This service. some times very elaborate,
at other times quite simple. has cost
as high as $4,000 that being the cost
OF the service presente to the armored
cruiser Pennsylvania and II has run as
low as 1888, the cost OF the service pre-
sented to the Atlanta As q general
rule the most costly services have
