at the hotels here. Among them are
about nineteen who made the jour
ney all the way around the world on
merchant ships and who overtook or
waited the naval vessels at the vari
ous ports visited. Some of these in
trepid women went all the way to
Australia, but most of them remained
In Japan while their husbands were
in the antipodes. There are other
wives here who went with the fleet
as far as California. 5f3.1l others
there are who contented themselves
with witnessing the departure from
here four months ago and who then
returned to their homes in various
parts of the coutnry. The social fea
ture of the fleet’s return and stay in
the roads is to be as notable as at
the departure. From Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York,
Richmond and Norfolk large parties
have arrived for "fleet week,” and
every room in the hotels is taken and
many persons were turned away to
day at the Chamberlain. The prob
lem of providing for the countless
hundreds who will be here on Mon
day is worrying the hotel managers
and authorities. Norfolk will be the
Mecac of most of the excursions and
elaborate preparations art) being madt
there to accommodate the throngs
with rooms nd meals. As the time of
the fleet’s arrival draws near the ex
citement in all the cities bordering
on Hampton Roads is becoming in
tense.
Washington’s Birthday.
Washington’s birthday is to be cel
ebrated as a holiday more generally
than ever before in this section and
all the residents of Norfolk, Newport
News, Hampton and other cities who
can possibly do so will either be
afloat or gathered along the shores
of the Roadstead to witness the Im
pressive arrival of the ships and the
ceremonies attending the visits of the
president.
Rear Admiral Emery Present.
Rear Admiral William H. Emery,
who commanded one of the divisions
of the fleet up to the time of his re
tirement at Manila last November,,

coming of the fleet and to provide
for the transfer of his effects brought

ana.

According to advices received here,
the Georgia is not the only one of
the sixteen battleships that is com
ing home in command of the execu
tive officer. Capt. Hamilton Hutch
ins. who sailed with the Kearsarge
from Hampton Roads all the way to
Gibraltar, became ill there and asked
for relief. The Kearsarge is prob
ably, therefore, in command of Lieut.

tain Hutchins returned from Gibral
tar on the Koenigen Luise.
Owing to the bad condition of the
weather Friday night the crowd at
the Crawford Avenue Literary society

piano. The program will be taken

A-makin’ holiday;
An’ one, he love de angels,
An’ went home wid ’im ter play.

W’en de playtime-day wuz done,
An’ de hills wuz lookin’ lonesome—
Sayin’ good-by ter de sun:
“Come home —de dark is failin';
Come home, my 11T one!”
“Come home!” de shadders answer;
“Come home!” de lost hills say;
“Come home!” de Winter want you
Ter smile an’ make de May;
It’s only fer de liT one
De Springtime come ter stay!
But de Night is long wid trouble,
An’ de long, long watch she keep;
She dunno dat de angels
Love de HT one a heap;
But they let ’im come ter see her
An’ he kiss her in her sleep.
