BEAUFORT.
Beaufort, S. C., Nov. 5. —A charm
ing event of the week was a delight
ful Hallowe'en reception given by the
Commercial Club to their many
friends. The programme consisted of
fortune-telling by two masked gypsies
in a dimly lighted parlor, where a
soft red light diffused a glow that
was emblematic of the ancient festi
val. Avery pleasant and amusing en
tertainment was derived from this
source. Other rooms were appro
priately decorated with autumn leaves,
cornstalks and jolly jack-a-lanterns.
Games, dancing and elegantly serv
ed oysters with, other dishes were also
much enjoyed. Exquisite music was
discoursed by a brass band from the
club’s front piazza. Altogether it
was one of the happiest events ever
provided by the hospitable clubmen.
The chaperons were Mrs. W. H. Hull,
Mrs. M. Gregorie Elliott, Mrs. Charles
Cohen, Mrs. John N. Wallace, Mrs.
Thomas C. Doremus, and Mrs. C. C.
Townsend.
President C. C. Townsend and other
clubmen contributed greatly to the
pleasure of the evening by their cor
dial reception of guests.
Misses Elizabeth and Roberta L.
Purse of Savannah are guests at the
Sea Island Hotel for a few days.

TESTING THE BATTLE
SHIP CONNECTICUT.
JTaval Experts Trying to Find Ont
Her Center of tiraxlty.
New York, Nov. 5. —With six of the
old steel turrets of the battle ship In
diana, Naval Constructor William J.
Baxter made a test to determine the
center of gravity of the new battle ship
Connecticut. While the result of the
test will not be known until the mathe
matical experts of the construction de
partment finish their work on the data
obtained, the unofficial announcement
is made that the test will prove sat
isfactory.
Technically the purpose of the test
was to determine the metacentric by
noting the difference between the cen
ter of oscillation and the center of
gravity. In more simple language, the
purpose is to determine if the center
of gravity is low enough to insure sta
bility and high enough that the ship
will not have a Jerking motion in a
seaway that interferes with the ac
curate firing of the guns.
The experiment was .made by moving
the six heavy pieces of armor, which
were mounted on trucks, from one side
to the ship to the other. The dip of
the vessel, which in this instance was
approximately five inches, will with the
formula which is used in experiments
of this kind determine how muob the

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS' SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 6. 1904.
THE PRESIDENT’S DAUGHTERS
INHERIT HIS STRENUOSITY
Ethel Becoming a Rival of Miss Roosevelt in
Popularity.
Washington, Nov. P.—MiRS Alice
Roosevelt has Joined the executive
household for a few days, but will
soon flit upon her merry social round
again, having promised half a dozen
visits in as many different places be
fore the regular season begins at the
capital. At the Pnrker-Lyman wed
ding last week she wore an extremely
becoming costume of biscuit-colored
voile, tucked at the bottom and fluffy
at the top, with one of the newest
and smartest of big black hats, trim- I
med in light blue velvet and pink
. roses.
The President’s 12-year-old daugh
ter, Ethel, inherits at least two of
her father's pronounced characteris
tics. They are extreme plainness of
face and remarkable skill ln horse
back riding. Miss Ethel has already
become a pastmaster in the art of rid
ing, and in spite of sallow skin, weak
eyes, nondescript features and unduly
prominent front teeth, she makes an
attractive picture in her divided skirts
sitting astride her handsome pony
and wearing a pair of jaunty yellow
riding boots. Usually one of the White
House footmen or grooms follows at a
respectful distance; and often she is
joined by some gray-bearded Senator
or man of affairs for a brisk canter
on the country roads. Although by
no means a beauty, and just at the
awkward age when growing girls
seem two-thirds legs and the other
third elbows—the President youngest
daughter is a most amiable little
friend of everybody, rich and poor,
and is perhaps more generally beloved
than any other member of the Roose
velt family.
Brilliance of Baroness Plnnclies.
Another pretty picture seen every
day upon the streets in these sunny
autumn days is that of the Baroness
Mayer des Planches, wife of the Ital
ian ambassador, driving about into the
most foreign-looking of open landeaus,
the horses 450 weighted with silver
mounted harness and jingling trap
pings that one thinks of the lady im
mortalized by Mother Goose, who went
about "with rings on her fingers and
bells on her toes,” thus making “music
wherever she goes.” The Baroness is
pretty and young—or perhaps, more
accurately speaking, is in the youth of
middle age, and a very handsome wom
an of the dark and tragic type. But
it is not her face and figure which
attract so much attention—beautiful
women being altogether too numerous
in Washington to excite more than
passing notice; it is her wonderful im
ported gowns, every day a different
one, bought abroad last summer in
honor to her husband's recent elevation
to the elite ranks of Italian nobility,
and brought over in the seventeen big
trunks that lately made trouble in
the New York Custom House, almost
to the point of diplomatic complications
between the two countries. With each
gown she carries a stunning parasol
of different design, every one of which
is the envy of feminine beholders, as
nothing of its kind can be purchased
for love or money on this side of the
Atlantic. Sometimes it is a lace crea
tion with painted medallions let in—
sometimes a rare combination of vel
vet, chiffon and fur to match a gown;
battleship can roll without danger of
turning turtle. It was necessary to
move the weights several times to
obtain the necessary data.
This test is made with every Ameri
can naval vessel of modern construc
tion, and the result has been th'.it no
one of them has ever turned turtle.

Itotnrn of the Camerona.
The return of Mrs. Don Cameron,
wife of the ex-senator from Pennsyl
vania, with her young daughter, Miss
Martha Cameron, to theif home on La
fayette Square, will not only Add a
distinguished debutante, to the upper
strata of society, but bring back a
hostess whose place has never been
filled, even though her home hits been
occupied by a series of gracious and
prominent women. The Cameron man
sion is thht historic residence nearly
opposite the White House, which was
known as "The Cream White House”
when Vice President and Mrs. Hobart
lived ln it. The late Senator Hanna
and his wife, lived in it for a time
and entertained regularly; and so did
the Henry Kirk Porter's, of Pittsburg.
Mrs. Cameron is still in Paris, where
she has resided except for brief visits
to America, ever since the retirement
of the senator from the Senate, and
where Miss Martha Cameron has been
educated. The latter, who is the only
child of Senator Cameron’s second mar
riage, is just eighteen, and is said to
possess ail the ch'arms of face and
manner which ma.de her mother, when
Miss Lizzie Sherman, and a niece of
the then lieutenant general of the army,
one of the greatest belles ever known
to the Capital.
Senator Quay's Family.
The wife and daughter of the late
Senator Quay, after spending several
days in Washington, have gone to
Beaver, Pa., where ithey will pass the
winter. Mrs. Quay has made no plans
beyond the present season, and has
rented her handsome house in this city
to the new Secretary of the Navy and
Mrs. Morton only for six months. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, whose household has
also been shattered by death, spent the
early autumn at a pretty place on the
Hudson, where he had leased a cottage
for the pleasure of his dying wife. He
returned to Washington a few days
ago, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs.
Reber, and her two small boys. As
an indulgent grandfather, the gallant
General is a pronounced success, al
though in some of their frolics it is
hard to tell which is the youngest of
the trio.
The Corea-JEordan Wedding.
Society has been considerably dis
turbed over conflicting rumors that are
rife concerning the engagement of the
minister from Nicaragua, Senor Don
Luis F. Corea, and the beautiful Mrs.
Jordan of Macon, Ga. Anonymous let
ters, reflecting upon the honor and
moral character of Senor Oorea age the
cause of unpleasantness. It is not the
first time in recent years that the
anonymous/ letter writer—the most das
tardly coward unhung—has created a
flurry in the affairs de amour of the
corps diplomatic. To her credit he it
said Mrs. Jordan is entirely unaffected
by the attempted scandal, and declares
thait her faith in Mr. Oorea Js by no
means shaken and insists that the mar
riage shall take place on the date first
named. She is a very handsome young
widow, accomplished and charming, an
heiress in her own right and a member
of one of the best families in the
South.
GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
GEORGIA MAN’S SUCCESS.
A Georgia boy, Dr. Ben L. Jeffer
son of Steamboat Springs, Col., was
strongly urged to make the race for
Governor of that state on the Demo
cratic ticket. Although great pressure
was brought to bear upon him, he de
clined the nomination. He has Just

Columbus quite a number of years ago.

GOVERNOR OFFERS REWARD.
Gov. Terrell has issued an advertise
ment offering a reward of $250 for the
arrest, with proof to convict, of the
party or parties who set tire to and
destroyed the gin, houses and contents

SHOT TWO BOVS.
Dutch Jordan, white, shot two white
boys, named Coffee, Wednesday night,
at .Babcock, a sawmill town about
eight miles from Colquitt. From re
ports it seems that Jordan went to
the engine room of Babcock Brothers
Dumber Company’s mill, about 7
o’clock, and asked one of the boys
who was running the engine. If he
was drunk, and Coffee told him that
he was, when Jordan fired at him with
a shotgun, the load taking effect In
the body. There w’as a younger broth
er of the wounded boy standing close
by and he asked Jordan not to shoot
his brother again, and Jordan turned
and fired on him, shooting his hat off,
a few shots entering his head. It is
thought that the shots will prove
fatal. Jordan was arrested bv a dep
uty sheriff who resides at Babcock,
and lodged in Jail.

ASKS THEGOVERNMENT
TO FIND HIM A WIFE.
From the New York Evening Herald.
A well-built man with light hair and
a worried look, who gave his age as
48 and his name as Michael Meta,
called at the Immigration Bureau at
the Battery to-day and said he want
ed a wife. He added that he waa im
partial to red hair, wanted a sohe-,
industrious woman, u German Luther-
an preferred, but otherwise he had no
strings to his proposal.
The wlfeseeker told the officials he
lived on Croston avenue, Woodhavon,
L. 1., was employed in a factory, had
wived no money, but had a steady Job.
While waiting for the officials to take
his pedigree the man spoke to an Irish
immigrant.
"You are a nice girl,” he said. “I
want a wife. Do you want a hus
band?”
The Immigrant reddened like a
summer sunset and said indignantly:
"The cheek of a Dutchman asking
me to marry him! I wish my brother
Barney was here."
The officials told the man he must
not make proposals in that manner.
They added that while there was
quite a stock of marriageable women
on hand they would have to f> con
sulted in a more diplomatic way. The
man was told to return Thursday. As
he was about to leave he said to the
clerk:
"Oh, I forgot to say that the wife
must be a good cook. Tell her I'U
make a happy home for her. I have
five children. One. the oldest. Is 18.
The youngest Is two years. There ars
lots of women over by Wood haven,
but I would not marry any of them.
; Don't forget. I want a good cook.”
The Irish immigrant afterward said:
"I’ll cook his hash for him If he ever
Insults me again.”
