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.

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

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

and thus It happens that the bell of th
Charleston has a particularly silvery ring

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 candidates will remain on Plko's
Peak only long enough to take the obliga
tion. The degrees which follow will oe
conferred In the magnificent Masonic tem
ple In Denver sometime during the week.
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.
The main object of this pilgrimage Is to
build up nn Interest In Cryptic Rite Ma
sonry In the various states participating.
Information has been received by mem
bers of the Royal Arcanum from General
Manderson leaving no doubt that Admiral
Schloy will bo In the city next Wednesday
to take part In the reception that will bo
given In his honor by the order on the
evening of that day. A telegram from Gen
eral .Mandcrson has gl\en assurance of this.
The members of the Royal Arcanum are
making the necessary arrangements for the
reception. The place where It will be held
has been changed from the commercial club
to the Metropolitan club because the lat
ter will bo more accessible to the big crowd
that Is expected to bo on hand. While the
handshaking Is going on the big ball room
In the club house will bo given over to the
dancers.

The HntMiiaii bnvtcd Wind nnd Lot.1
it Urlilc-to-llc.
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. I say yes now. I wil
marry you whenever jou like ! "
