the officers and men Of the fleet at
tempted in foreign ports to sing their
own national anthem when those of the
ports visited had been sung few could
go beyond three lines of 1.-THE Star

cause to suspect that this ignorance of

Every child who goes to school and is

Gayety at tho Capital.

Mrs. Taft's wish to make the speed
way, to be known in future as Poto-
mac Drive, a panorama Of fashion and
beauty on the two afternoons in the
week, bids fair to be a huge and per-
manent success. She rides out each
afternoon in state in her big automo-
bile, and the president either accom-
panies her or rides out on his favorite
horse and stands by her carriage dur
ing the playing of the Marine band.
Last Saturday he played golf all af-
ternoon, however, and the crowd wait
ed in vain for his appearance. Mrs.
Taft was accompanied by Mrs. Ellis
and her small black Manchurian
poodle. Wednesday afternoon she had
with her in her electric landaulet Mrs.
McClintock, an old Washington friend
of the first lady of the land. Mrs. Taft
has arranged a number Of garden par.
ties, and although it makes people
SILVER to accept the invitations, Of
course they will all be accepted and
society in it's best frock will be there.

SEVEN SMITHS IN CONGRESS,
Three Of That Name Are Members OF
the Senate and Four Of the House
Two from Michigan.

Senator Smith, newly sent to the
upper house Of congress from South
Carolina, Is having trouble with his
mail. He complains that he is not
getting all that is coming to him. He
will soon learn that the lack OF letters
Is not the least of a legislators wor-
ries, and often he will wish that most
of his mail went astray. But that Is
beside the mark. The point Of impor-
lance is that the South Carolina sena-
tor brings the roll of congressional
Smiths up to seven, three in the SEN
ate and four in the house. The states
contributing the seven Smiths are
Michigan, which gives two; Maryland,
Texas, Iowa, California and South
Carolina. Thus an association COM
posed Of the congressional Smiths
would be widely representative, sec
tionally, and It may be that many an
important legislative question could be
decided to the country's interest as a
result of coherent action on the part
Of these seven, SO closely linked by a
strong bond Of sympathy. Michigan,
by the way, has always been some
what liberal in it's bestowal of Smiths
upon the country. At n time there
were three serving simultaneously in
the house. The newly-seated Smith
may be confused for a short time after
his legislative advent, but he sOon
learns how to combine dignity and dis
tinctiOn by the use of all the names
bestowed upon him at baptism. Thus
the three-jointed Smith is regarded as
the only normal Smith in congress,
and Don the public will grow accus-
toned to the South Carolina states
man by his full title, which begins
with Ellison and includes a middle
name beginning with B., which has not
yet been completely revealed.

"MATUSHkA VOLGA."

There is an air so popular in Rus
STA that it is even more familiar than
their national anthem to the people
OF that great mysterious empire, says
Travel Magazine. | have heard 1t in
all parts of the cars dOminiOns, from
the Baltic sea to Boring strait and
from Archangel to the Caspian; in the
glittering palaces Of st. Petersburg
and in foul prison dens Of Siberia.
It is a simple melody in the minor
key, suggestive, like most Slav music,
Of sorrow and unrest, and it Is called
"Matushka," or Mother Volga," as
for some cryptic reason every Rus
sian, be he noble or nihilist, is taught
from childhood to regard this great
river in the light of a maternal rela-
tive. Yet the river is full Of sad as
sociations, for convicts formerly trav-
eled a portion Of the journey to ST.
IBERIA along its broad, sluggish stream.
| can never forget the haunting
sweetness of "Matushka Volga" as |
heard it sung on a prison barge one
quiet summer evening by a party Of
fettered pOliticals banished to the
great lone land of exile. For Mother
Volga" was their last link with home
and the loved one they might never
meet again.
Fortunately the condemned are now
sent into Asia by the Trans-Siberian
railway and the unhappy exile is
spared at least one bitter parting
that from his well beloved Mother
NOlga."

WASHINGTON TO BE HIS HOME
Perry Heath Is Building House ir
Washington and Will Permanent
ly Reside There.

Perry Heath is building a handsome
house in S street, Washington, on the
corner of Connecticut avenue, where
he has decided to establish his Lares
and Penates, and pass the remainder
of his life, at least, when he is not
globe trOtting, a pastime of which he
is particularly fond. Everybody in
Washington knows Perry Heath for he
was first a clerk in one of the depart
ments here, then a newspaper CORE
spondent, and, finally, first assistant
postmaster general in McKinley's ad.
ministratiOn. Mr.. Heath is a big,
square man, with a strong face, a
HOOsier by birth. This fact he is eX-
c~essively proud of, as is shown by the
title of the one book he has published,
"A Hoosier in Russia" No mention of
Perry Heath would be adequate that
did not announce that in the SO years
of his life he has been able to amass
a gOodly fortune. That he has come
to Washington to spend this fortune
his friends regard as an evidence of
his good taste, good judgment and
wisdom. Mrs. Heath, who was a Miss
Ella Conway Of Louisville, KY, is an
extremely charming woman, and will
be a valuable addition to the hostesses
of Washington.
