the early greatness Of the Osmani

SHIP WARMING ON VESTRIS
Lamport & Holt Line Entertairfs
an Addition to Fleet.

More than three hundred and fifty men
prominent in the steamship and export
trade OF this city were entertained at
luncheon yesterday on board the new
Lamport & Holt liner Vestris, which ar
rived here week ago from Liverpool by
way OF Buenos Ayres and Rio De Janeiro.
The Rev. Or. George r. Van De Water
rector OF ST. Andrews Protestant Episco-
pal Church. OF this city. who went 10
South America recently, was one of the
speakers.
Lorenzo Daniels, one OF the local agents
of the line, who was POSTMASTER. said he
believed that DR.. Van DE Water had be-
come familiar with the great trade posi-
bilitIes of South America on his trip. and
asked him to tell of his views.
"All / win say Of commerce" said Or.
Van De Water, IFS that there would be 10
steamships and no cargoes II the good
Lord had not blessed both great CONT
nents with great crops. / was advised by
my doctors when a day out of the hospital
to take a long sea voyage and &c; good
rest / went out on the Voltaire and came
back on the Verdi, and, after some thirty
trips on the Atlantic. can say that the
trip to South America was the most inter-
esting and beneficial sea journey | have
ever taken"
Lewis Nixon, the shlpbuilder and naval
expert, said he was glad 10 see that Great
Britain was sending such fine ships as
the Vestris into the New York and South
American trade, and believed that with
such luxurious service the American pub
lie need no longer hesitate 10 journey into
the wonderland below the equator.
Simeon Ford expressed delight In the
knowledge that the Vestris left from
Brooklyn"
II left Brooklyn myself many years
ago" he said. This is a fine big steam
ship, even II she is not a thousand feet
long / have no sympathy with the thou
sand-foot ship nor with this clamor for
thousand-foot piers. The berths are the
things that count That company will
succeed which builds long berths so that
q man who is nearly six feet tall can
have a comfortable sleep. Only the man
with accordion plated legs can get a de-
cent sleep on the big ships these days"
Among the other speakers were Collin
Armstrong, Herman Sielcken and John
Barrett, The guests included William q.
Sickel of the Hamburg-Ame Line;
Herbert /. Brldgman. DR.. Abel Pardo.

LABOR LAW BLOCKS NAVY
Repair Work Declined and Yes
sells May Leave Great Lakes.

Washington, Nov. 4.-AlI United States
navy vessels may be withdrawn from the
Great Lakes as n result OF the refusal
Of the shipbuilding companies on the
lakes TO enter into repair contracts with
the Navy Department on account of their
hostility to the eight-hour law.
The lake plants are operated on a ten
hour basis, and although Attorney Gem
eral Wlckersham ruled that company
working on a government contract could
use It's men on other work after employ
ing them eight hours on the government
fob. none OF the companies wants con-
tract from the department. The test
came when the department vainly en-
deavored to have repairs made on the
converted yacht Dorothea
The situation is not considered particu-
larIv serious. because the United States
keeps vessels on the lakes only for use
in training naval militia. Under existing
treaties the government has no police
hoats along the Canadian border, and II
the training craft cannot be repaired on
the lakes they will be withdrawn and sent
TO other waters
Resides the Dorothea there are now on
the lakes the gunboats Don Juan de Aus
tria and Dubuque and the steamers Essex
Gopher, Hawk, Wolverine and Yanuc.

Persian Sage Compliments EN-
on Their radiant Faces"
breaches SEX EQUALITY
Wins Applause, Lastly, by
Praising Suffragists for
Fighting for the Vote.

Mrs. Mary Stokes MacNutt, president OF
Minerva, and Mr.. MacNutt were a happy
pair yesterday, for they got Abdul BAHIA,
OF Persia, to speak at the clubs annual
luncheon at the WaIdorf-Astoria.
Abdul BAHIA didn't attend the eating
part OF the function, but he came after
ward, looking as If he had on the same
white turban and the same long gown
that he wore when he landed here from
Persia last April.
His face was just as peaceful as it was
then, too, and he didn't seem the least BIT
touched by his seven months OF America,
though lie told the women in energetic
Persian, which was translated for them
by his black bearded attendant, that
everywhere he went in this country II
was hurry, hurry. hurry"
lie made great hit with the assembled
Minervas because he called them "a
radiant faced assemblaGe," and told them
that women were fully the equal OF men
where they weren't mems superiors.
THE only real difference between men
and women" he said, rs that mems
faces are covered with disagreeable
growths Of hair, while women's faces are
clean and decent.
And even that ia true now only in
Oriental countries. for / perceive that
here In America gentlemen are doing
away with that difference by shaving"
Here the white haired sage let his blue
eyes twinkle little, just to show that a
seer could crack a Joke.
Women" said Abdul BAHIA, tod day
are proving their right TO be the peer
OF men. In past ages they have been
kept down. They have been forbidden
education, but now the world is learning
that the welfare of the body polite can
be attained only by the cooperation Of
women on an equal plane with the men.
Given the opportunity, they are showing
that physically, intellectually, spiritually
their capacity for attainment is the same
as that of the men.
I'm plant life, in the animal kingdom
there is no assertion Of superiority on
the part Of the male. How then is II
possible for human beings, supposed 10
be the representatives Of justice. mercy.
generosity, equity, how Is IT possible for
them 10 practise such Injustice II ~
not The distinction between men ana
women is fast disappearing. God would
not permit It."
Lastly the aged seer brought out
round Of APPLAUSE by praising the courage
women had shown in their fight for the
vote.
