The Navy department , having decided to nnmo one ot tbo now battleships Ne braska , It will bo necessary for the people ot the state to follow the custom of giving the ship a suitable gift. H IB > ot too early to g'lvo the matter serious consideration , ns It will tnko nt leant two 5ears to con struct thnt modern fighting machine. What the gift wilt bo Is n subject for future ills- ciitsion. The gifts to ships now In com mission nro useful examples of what the people of Nebraska are expected to do and It will bo well to keep them In mind for future use. Tlio city of .Minneapolis gave to the cruiser of that name n magnificent grand piano valued at $1.000. This was ac companied "by seven plecos of silver worth $3,000 , the soup tureen alone costing $2,200 and 'tho meat plate $350. The battleship Indiana received from citi zens of Indiana , In addition to a library , n silver service \nlucil at $9,520 , and consist ing of thirty-nine pieces. Thirty-two pieces of silver , given by San Francisco to the cruiser of that name , cost $7,480. But the handsomest and most expensive silver serv ice was furnished for Hie cruiser Chicago by the people of the big town on I.ako Michigan. It comprises 228 pieces , Includ ing a dozen and a. half of everything. Brooklyn gave to the armored cruiser named after that city two silver candelabra worth $1COO , a soup tureen that cost $085 nnd n lot of other silver that ran up the value of the service , excluding the candlc- ctlcks , to $8,397. TrcnuurcN of the Ill-r itPil Mnlnc. \Vlien the Ill-fated Maine went Into com mission citizens of that commonwealth gave her three silver dishes , worth $1,000 , nnd several photograph albums containing views of Maine scenery. On March 10 , 1897 , several residents of Now Orleans , natives of the Pine Tree etato , presented the ship with a loving-cup of silver with a moose- horn handle. This cup l now exhibited In a glass case at the National museum , having been recovered from the wreck In Havana harbor. The crulsor New York has been the re cipient of a greater number of gifts than have been bestowed upon any other vessel of the navy. Among thorn may bo men tioned a bllvcr service of l/wenty-four pieces from citizens of New York ; a silver punch bowl and ladle from the New York Yacht club ; two silver candelabra from the New York Board of Trade ; a largo music box from a manufacturer , and a ship's bell from the Seventh regiment , N. G. S. N. Y. A patriotic merchant of clippings has given to the ship a number of scrapbooks con taining practically everything that the newspapers have ever said about her , am the late George "VV. Chllds presented her with a pigeon cote stocked with homing pigeons of the best Wood. The crulsor Baltimore has received from a citizen ot the big town of that name a portrait ot Lord Baltimore , the acceptance of which Is the subject ot a letter written January 2 , 1890 , by George Dewey to Wln- Oeld Scott Schley.

The state ot Massachusetts lias given to her namesake war ship a bronze statue o "Victory" valued at $2.000. Not to bo out done , the city of Concord lias bestowci upon the little cruiser of that name a miniature copy in bronze of the famous statue ot the Minute Man ot 1775. It weighs 300 pounds , la two and a halt feet high exclusive of tiho pedestal , and stands a present on the forward part of the poop deck of the Concord. Nevertheless , th Navy department does not consider tha statues are appropriate gifts for ships ; the are cumbersome and are sure to he In th way. No American war vessel has eve n figurehead , the place of that ancient an respectable Institution being taken by ehleld and flags. The crulsor Charleston has been pro sontcd by her name city with a silver punch bowl , but among her gifts the one mos prized Is a ship's bell , owing to a rathe romantic Incident connected with It. Sh was built at San Francisco , nnd the work men engaged In its construction , number Ing over 1,000 , decided that ordinary bronz was not good enough for her boll. So ever ono of them put Into the/mold , when th -molten metal was poured In , a silver coin and thus It happens that the bell of th Charleston has a particularly silvery ring AVIlIlt IIOMII Ultl. The state of Iowa has bestowed upon th battleship Iowa n silver scrvlco of fort pieces , valued at $5,000.

Ante Room Echoes Masons of the west nro preparing to obll- . gate 750 candidates In the Orjptlc rlto on the top of Plko's Peak In August This Is the shibboleth of every Masonic chapter nnd Royal Arch Masons of Illinois , Iowa , Mis souri , Nebraska , Oklahoma , Wyoming and Colorado are anticipating with pleasure the event In which thousands ot them will par ticipate. The followers of the wise Kink have con cluded that , next to the ancient temple of King Solomon , built without the eound of hammer or chisel , Pike's Peak Is the most fitting place to confer the degrees which per petuate the teachings of the ancient ruler nnd philosopher. And so to this colo&sal Colorado will go from many states Masons by the hundreds , nnd upon the summit of Pike's Peak they will recite their Impressive admonitions , administer their solemn oaths and chant their ancient nnd Inspiring songs. Then they will hold high carnival In Denver , Colorado Springs , Cripple Creek nnd Victor nnd If their money holds out , penetrate as or as the restful Durango nnd look upon ho "Needles , " through whose eyes n train of 1,000 camels might easily pass If they ould bo kept from freezing on the Journey. Ten days at least they purpose to spend among the richly colored rocks and yawning anyons of the Centennial state. With the delegations from the different stfttee will go BOO of the candidates for Cryptic rites. These will bo Joined by 250 more from Colorado , and nil will bo obli gated In the beautiful council degrees on the little tableland on the top of Pike's Peak. There will bo other mystic cere monies In the Cave of the Winds , and the whole body ot Masons In full rtgalla will pass In solemn possession through the Gar den of the Gods , bearing their altars , their banners , their signs and symbols , nnd In the shadow of some giant rock , upon whoso face Manltou haa etched the sjmbols of bis order , they will break bread and cat the salt of the brothers In blood. Edwnrd D. Wellington of Ellsworth , Kan. , thrice Illustrious mauler nnd grand princi pal conductor of the grand council of Kan sas , will be general In chief of the party and" lead It through the labyrinths nnd mysteries of the cities of the silver state nnd plan the mountain excursions.

The masons of Denver will give a grand banquet to the visiting members the night before they start on their return trip. All Royal Arch Masons receiving the council degrees during this trip will hnvo their Masonic homo In the council nearest their plnco of residence.

A bright flush overspread the face of the young girl In the pink shirt wnlst , who sat In the grandstand , as the stalwart young man who had played In the field In the firs half of the Inning stepped lo ihe pialo , ba In hand. "Lino 'er out , old man ! " "Three-base hit ! " "Good boy ! " "Home run ! " "Hit it In do nose ! " "Swot It good on' hard ; " sung out the cranks , . The stalwart young man , relates the Chicago Tribune , carelessly lifted his cap replaced It , grasped his bat with a firmer hold , moved it In graceful circles over his shoulders , while the pitcher wns doing the preliminary mysterious juggling with the ball that marks the high-priced player , and as the leather sphere It Is the correct form to call It a leather sphere came toward him like a rifle shot ho swung his bat. "Ah ! " groaned the crowd. Ho had fanned the air. This phrase Is also the correct form. Again the high-priced pitcher juggled Iho ball mysteriously , again It came like a rlflo shot , again the young man at the plate swung his bat And again the crowd groaned : "Ah ! " The high-priced catcher rolled the ball carelessly down to thlid , put on his mask came close behind the bat , spread his high- priced legs apart , placed his hands on his knees , loaned forward , nnd made an Im- precepllblo signal to tbo high-priced pitcher The vast crowd held Its brealh. Which Is also Ibo correct thing to do nt a critical moment like this. Llko a faliot tbo ball sped townrd the pinto With a mighty lunge the young athlete swung his bat a third time. It smote only tbo air. Another groan burst from the crowd. He had not only struck out , but put tbo side out. "Mr. Spoonamore , " said the young woman In the pink shirt waist , turning with pale cheeks and flashing cjes to the pimply-facet young man who sat by her side. ' 'I said 'no to you the other day.
