stairs rise to the armory, you see a
mass of green foliage and brilliant red
chrysanthemums. How many, you
can only guess. If you tarry long
enough to note the details, you will
find more than three hundred of them,
clustering within and peeping brightly
from the close-growing green vines
that hide the structural work of the
stairway. At the first landing, you
find yourself in q bower, among vines
and chrysanthemums, until you reach
the head of the stairway, and the full
scene bursts on your enraptured
gaze.

the hall is hidden by vast Japanese

ton, stretch great festoons of ever

SONS in each festoon, there are hun
dreds in all-thousands, perhaps. You
haven't time to count them.
The ugly, dim and dusty side walls
are gone. Against them, between the
window spaces, are beautiful trellises
of vines, with the prevailing flowers
here and there, while in each window
there is a great potted palm.
From the side chandeliers to the
side walls, there is great interlock-
ing of festooned evergreen, wistaria
and red and yellow chrysanthemums,
and great clusters of chrysanthe-
NUNS, several dozen in each cluster,
are pendant from the chandeliers.
Green and flowers, chrysanthemums
and wistaria everywhere. You are in

of beauty and daintiness is on you.

THE SOUTHERN
NAVY YARDS TO
BE KEPT OPEN
SECRETARY MEYER ARRIVES AT
THE DECISION UPON HEARING
REPORT OF OFFICERS RECENT
LY IN PENSACOLA.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
of yesterday contained the following
special from Washington:
THE New Orleans navy yard is
going to be kept in condition for use
no matter what may have been the
thought on that subject by Secretary
Newberry, who decided that it would
be for the best good of the navy to
close not only the one at New Or.
leans, but those at Pensacola, Key
West and Charleston as we'll. The
floating dry dock will be kept in the
best condition, and repairs at cost OF
$4,000 will be put upon it as soon as
Secretary Meyer can get the money
He submitted an estimate for that
amount Of money for that purpose TO-
day.
The foregoing declarations are
based upon what the secretary told
the house committee on naval affairs
this morning. He appeared before the
committee with a view of discussing
the docks in the southern yards. Not
only did he declare his intention to
keep the floating dock in good condi-
ton, but in answer to a number Of
questions by Gen. Estopinal, member
of the committee, he expressed the
opinion that the New Orleans yard Is
valuable asset and not burden to
the navy.
Influenced by Reports.
1T is because OF that view that he
is going to keep the yard in good con.
dition. He was Influenced in his
declaration by reports made to him by
Commandment Ward. The reports are
not detailed but they are of detail
enough to warrant the secretary in
holding view at variance with that
of his predecessor.
THE secretary is going to also keep
the Pensacola yard in repair. He said
that the prospective opening of the
canal is of such great importance that
a man would be very unwise to aban
don the southern yards without having
made certain that the opening of the
new waterway will not make the
southern yards of the utmost import
ance.
''The secretary's declarations
pleased Gen. Estopinal and members
from southern states a good deal They
have been insisting that it would be
very unwise to- take the step advo-
Gated by Newberry on the very eve of
the opening of the canal"
