modore from using it the sending and receiving of messages will be an ad- ditiOnal pleasure to the party. ihe yacht has twin screws and IS 2I4 Ieet over all. She is IF feet on the water line, 26 feet 10 inches beam, Is feet II inches deep of hold and 13 feet m ches draught. She Is driven by triple expansion engines with six cylinders, two of 13 inches in diameter, two or 21 1-2 inches in diameter, and two or 35 inches in diameter. Her piston mas a twenty-two inch stroke. The 1n- ternational signal letters are K e. P. G. '
 The yacht is fitted up in the most sumptuous manner, and the accom- mOdations are ample enough to give each one of the party as much pr1- vacy as he would have on an ocean liner.
 The Commodore is familiar with the whole country over which he intends to journey on this trip. Last March he and party started off for a two months trip on the yacht Virginia, and with pretty much the same ltln- erary as the present one. Before the end of the voyage the yacht grounded on Colorado Reef, off Cuba, and much alarm was felt here for the safety of the voyagers. But they all got home safely, and the Commodore laughed about the accident and sa1d CndI ne ndu SIJoySo every IhAioIS VI lis vacation. Several years before this the Commodore steamed up the Amazon as far as Manoas, which IS the farthest point up that mlgnly river ever reached by a steam yacht. j.
 Friends of the Commodore say that he is a real Sailor, and not merely a yachtsman When he is afloat his craft is rarely tied to wharf. She is kept moving. In the fall of 1910 he came from Bermuda tn his little yacht Oneida and followed the big liner Trent toward this city. For three days and nights on that trip nobody was on deck save two of the crew, who were lashed to the bridge. Relating this experience after his ar rival, the Commodore described it as five days of terror.
 The Commodore is we'll known along all of the thousand miles between Para and Manoas. At the latter place the Chamber of Commerce usu- ally entertains him, and the natives gather to greet him and to engage in games during his. visit.

To the Editor of The Farmer:
 Tr-I read in The Farmer last Sat urday night a long article by pr. Ed win F. Bowers, entitled "Why Vaccin- ate?'

 We are no longer living In the Stone Age. We are now nearing the end of the Graft Age.

ARChOEACON BtEMAN WILL 0fFIClATE AT
 ORGAN DEDICATION
Much Interest Manifested in Plans of
 St. Georges Church.

Much interest has been aroused in local church circles by plans for the dedication tomorrow evening at St. Georges church of a new pipe organ. The Rev. Allen E. Beeman, Archdea- con, will officiate at that ceremony; the rector of the parish. Rev. Henry E. Kelly, will conduct the accompany ing choral service, with the excellent parish choir under Edward T. Price, chctrmaster; and the preacher will be Rev. Frank H. Bige ow, assistant rec tor of St. Johns parish.
 Preceding this service which begins at $, o'clock, there will be a half-hour recital on the organ by Chester liar rison, Organist of Olivet church, as- sisted by Mrs. Arthur W. Robinson, MT. Thrall and Frank w Knox, solo Ests.
 An interesting fact in connection with the erection of the new organ is that the necessary addition to the chancel was built by the members of the Laymen's League of St. Georges parish, who have spent their evenings until II o'clock recently, as they did a year ago, when the church Itself was building, demonstrating in this out ward and unquestionable way their in- terest and devotion. The parish is an unusual one, indeed, in having a dis tfnctly masculine character
 Lewis F.. Wakeman, Charles R.. Clarke and William w. Taylor were the committee responsible for procur- fng the instrument, and began and completed their work within three months.

 FOUR AND KRENRKA;; BROTH FRS ALSO PLEASE. err

This talk about scenic productions Is all right, but for the real natural scenery go down and see ka Diva at Polls thks week. She Is advertised as absolutely the most perfectly formed woman and champion swimmer of the world" That is quite load of hon ors for one woman to carry, but La Diva is quite capable of bearing the laurels. She is there with the figure and every eye in last nights audience watched her as she dived and swam about In her one piece suit that left little to the imagination. John F.. Conroy, who is life saver when not appearing in vaudeville, does a little posing that shows his superb muscular development. He and La. Diva are seen in number of difficult diving feats that deserve the hearty applause they always receive. It is a most in teresting turn.
 Although the Mayor and the Mani cure has been seen here several times 1t never fails to appeal to vaudeville audiences. Last night the people laughed uproariously at the funny lines and situations created by that master humorist, George Ade. The story tells of the manicure girl in the college town who tries to work a lit tie blackmail scheme on the Hon. Otis Milford because his son has been pay ing too much attention. How the foxy father outw1ts the manicure and wins her reluctant admiration is told in Ade's funniest manner. James F. Fulton as the Mayor is immense
 Nonette is not only good violinist, but she also has a remarkably good voice. She sings popular song in clever fashion, plays a rag time tune and also renders a classical selection on the violin. Tn addition to her mu- sical ability it might be mentioned l,of hac fo in physical charms
 The Monarch Comedy Four made one of the hits of the bill. They came through with all the barber shop chords and in the ragtime melodies were particularly good.
 Krempka Bros. have the best aero batic act seen here this season. With out any posing they. go right at their work and their tricks are Of the most daring and difficult variety. At the finish last evening they received an ovation
 Freddie is the title of the skit presented by Arthur, J. Pickens & Co. It is a merry bunch of nonsense and the numerous complications provoked much merriment. Fckens is a good comedian and his two feminine assist ants are also capable.

Factory Inspector Enforcing New Law
 On Fire Escapes

New Haven, Dec. 19-John H. Quin- Ian, deputy State factory inspector, was in town yesterday afternoon on a stop-over cali to Building Inspector Austin, and let fall some interesting matters concerning the work of the factory inspectors office, especially ance the new law concerning fire es- capes, passed by the last Legislature, became operative. The work of the offlce, he says. has become particular into effect, but the State inspector and his deputies have met with such com mendable cooperation from the man ufacturers throughout the State that they are experiencing little difficulty in enforcing the law.
 Before the latest enactment fac tory workshop, manufactory, hotel. etc., which was provided with inside means of egress in case of fire, was considered as coming within the re- 0ulrements of the law, but the amend xnent to the existing statute makes it mandatory upon factory owners to build fire escapes outside the building whether inside fire protection is pro- vided or not.
 Factory owners in Waterbury, Bridgeport and throughout the State have written to the State inspector their chief mechanic relative to in etalling the new fire escapes. The New Haven Clock Company did this, and Wednesday of this week. MT. Oufnlan wxl spend the day here, ad- vising it's mechanic.
 MT. Quinlan finds the factories in this city splendidly appointed and conducted. He said he had been in thfs city last year on his annual tour of inspection. and had found that the Winchester Repeating Arms Company factory buildings were the finest irs the State, in fact, in the country.
 On this trip MT. Quinlan and the other two deputies are going over only the factories which have request ed inspection. They have inspected 2,OOO such buildings within 8 short space of time.
 At this time of the year the office, too, is particularly busy with the en- forcement of the hours of labor. Com plaints without number come in every day of shop owners who are violating the law regarding the employment of women in not providing seating fa- cilities. It can be seen how extrava- eant Is this demand in cases where stands are placed in the middle of the snop aisles for the sale of goods dur ing the holiday season. The girls could not use them were they supplied, said MT. Quinlan, because they are required to keep constant watch upon buyers, an impossibiIity where they remain seated on duty.

of which are true medicines carefully
compounded of ingredients whose medi-
