When word reached here that the six
teen warships Of the Atlantic fleet would
assemble in Hampton roads, before going
on the winter European cruise, there
was great rejoicing among the debutantes
of Old Point, for they had despaired of
seeing the officers on the different war
ships before the early spring, and as a
result every one in society has planned
dinners, teas and dances for the officers,
and the coming weeks promise to be the
gayest Of the entire season.
The dance last week. Wednesday, on
board the South Carolina was one of the
most elaborate ever given on board a
battleship, the decorations being unusu-
ally artistic, all the lights being covered
with huge Japanese lanterns. while yards
and yards of red, white and blue bunt-
ing decorated the ship. The patronesses
for the dance were: Mrs. Alexander NJ.
Agelasto, jr.. Mrs. James Philips Parker
and Mrs. Louis Maxfield. There were
also officers from the Kansas, Louisiana,
North Dakota and Delaware.

L. S. N. and Mrs. Watt of Washington

two errors: first, they do not differentiate
between the wonder of the invention, per

Second. that this conquest of the heavens

faculties: and yet it is man and not

elements in an army, for he Is good only
because he has lived In an environment

it is regarded as eminently fitting that
the building associated with Commodore

ice to the south in her hour of need, by
his scientific investigations and their
practical application to traffic, travel and
the transmission of thought, he has, it
is claimed. made the world his debtor

ceeding of their own momentum are
today powerful agents in it's progress and
development.

LONDON HEALTH RESORTS.
Doctor says People Ruin Lives Rush.
ing for Suburbs


London.-In the opinion of Dr.
Harris. medical officer of health for
Islington, London is an ideal health
resort. and those who are rushing to
live in the suburbs are running their
nervous systems and shortening their
lives.
AT the present time" he stated IN
a report to the council, the tendency
seems to be for people to move TO
suburban districts, rushing from Lon
don as If it were some plague-stricken
spot. l am strongly of opinion that
in doing SO the heads of families are
doing neither themselves nor their
families any great good.
For what occurs? The husband
daily comes into London to business
and every morning and night has to
rush to catch trains. He nearly al
ways puts off to the last moment the
start from the house or from his place
of business.
"a gentleman living some 80 miles
out of London informed me that af-
ter o'clock he works under the
greatest pressure in order to catch a
fast train to his home, and that such
a mental and bodily strain is begin
ming to tell on him"
"And so it is with others who un-
dergo this daily rush. hurrying and
excitement. which, apart from the
noise and hustle. cause a wear and
tear on the circulatory and nervous
systems which must prove most det-
rimentaI to health Thus the good
which is sought in the country en-
vironment is entirely lost"

first part OF the tragedy having been
eracted, boy policemen arrested" the
murderer who was arraigned, tried
and condemned 10 death. He was
bound loosly to a tree. with second
pc tied tightly around his neck and
his feet resting upon stones. At a
given signal the stones were removed
and the unfortunate lad was hanged,
being unable to free himself. A po-
lice inquiry has been opened.
