The conduct of a high bred horse Is watched with as much Interest as hit physical points in judging the animal, and at a horse show, where all points aro tuken into consideration, an animal which should so far forget himself as to whinny or commit ony other such breach of equine etiquette would be given a bunch of demerit which would bo fbo meanB of ruling hira oft the track in the event of a few such improprieties. An otherwise valuable horse which has the habit of "lolling" Its tongue out of its month Ih liable to valuation If he ptrftifttts in tills trick.

Eagle Bureau. CM Punctata Street. Washington, November 11 Aa admission Yard In competition with the slater ship Louialana. under construction at tbe New port News Shipbuilding Company. The Connecticut has advanced far enough for tha Nary Department to get a very good Idea of what her total coat will be.

It la evident now that the Newport News craft will beat the government ahip both In cost and time ot completion. Admiral Capps does not aay how much more the. Connecticut will coat than the Louisiana, but he la paving the way for tbe inevitable comparison that will be made In Congress tbia winter when the subject of appropriating for additional ves ela cornea up. One of the contentions ot the Navy Yard men during the fight a couple of years ago to have the government build a battleship at one of Its yards, was that they could construct as cheaply as the private contractors. While they have not made good this claim, tbey have shown that the margin ot difference is not very great.

A second battleship built at the Brooklyn yard would cost considerably leas than the Connecticut because ot the Improved condition ot the plant and the valuable experience the men have gained from their work of the lafir elffhtflpn mnnthH Admiral C.nna xava that verv -m D- I possible precaution Is being taken to reduce tne coet ot tne Connecticut to tne most eco- nomical basis, it "can hardly be hoped that the work will be done as cheaply as when performed ln private shipbuilding yards." He explains that the rates of pay for nine hours work in the private yards are. In many cases, less than those being paid tor eight hours work at the Brooklyn Jaid, "It may also be noted," he says in his report, "that private shipyards do not pay their per diem employes for holidays- or when on leave. whereas a very large- proportion of the per diem employes on the Connecticut receive pay for fifteen days leave and seven public holidays during the calendar year, without any work being done ln return therefor." Admiral Capps makes a plea for a con tinuation ot the policy ot building ships at the navy yards, as follows: "One of the principal objects to be attained ln the build ing of vessels in government yards is tne maintenance of the organization of the yard and the provision of suitable work for ex perienced mechanics during tbe absence of the fleet. When the fleet Is under repair the resources of navy yards are severely taxed, and for more than a year effort has been made to so arrange the programme of repairs to the fleet as to permit a continuous succession ot such -work, instead of hav ing periodic congestions. The Beet is now increasing at sucn a rapid rate ana tne current annual repairs are becoming so large an item that under normal conditions ample work will be provided by repairs UOd rents alone.

The desirability of having some of tbe government yards thoroughly equipped for building vessels of tbe largest size is fully recognized, but the repairing and overhauling of the fleet must at all times remain Ihe important work of navy yards, and in time of war their resources will be taxed to the utmost in performing such work." The cliler constructor says that actual work on the collier that Is to be built at the Brooklyn yard will be under way soon. The collier that Is to be constructed on the Pacific coast must wait until the Mare Island Xavy Yard has been fitted out with additional equipment. Admiral Capps touches up rather sharply the bureau of yards and docks for the long delay in building the million dollar dry dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and also for the slow work on similar docks at other yards. Ho says: "The bureau is still embarrassed by the lack of adequate docking facilities for vessels ot the fleet, and although the completion of the new granite docks at Ports mouth and Boston was definitely promised some months ago, it is now more than probable that they will not be ready to dock all classes of vessels before January, 1903. It will thus be necessary to send to the Navy Yard ut Brooklyn, for docking, the battleships which are now repair at League Island, Norfolk, and Boston.

Although appropriations were made from six and a bait to three and a half years ago for the construction of dry docks at League Island, Mare Island, Norfolk. New York, and Charleston, these docks aro far from completion, some of them being barely begun. Reports from various navy yards Indicate clearly the great demand made upon the docking facilities of the bureau, and the fact that the navy yard at. Brooklyn is, at the present time, the only navy yard on the Atlantic coast at which battleships can be docked, is proof of the serious importance of undertaking promptly, and prosecuting with nil possible dispatch the construction of such docks as have already been authorized." The old nroiect of enlarging the Brooklyn Navy Yard is referred to this year by Admiral Capps as follows: "One of the most serious disadvantages under which a majority of our navy yards Is now laboring is tbe scarcity of berthing place in reasonable proximity to shops and store houses. This deficiency in suitable berthing has reached such an acute form at the navy yard.

New York, as to seriously Impair tha efficiency of that yard when undertaking re pairs to the Heel. Although unquestionably the best equipped navy yard on the Atlantic coast, its available water front, in immediate proximity to the docks, and shops, 1b now so seriously reduced as to permit the berthing of only two large vessels, In addition to the Connecticut, which Is now under construction and must of necessity occupy, tor nearly two years to come, a large portion ef the available water front. The necessity for prompt and adequate provision of piers and extensions ot quay walls at the navy yard, New York, has been brought forward on several occasions during the last four years, and more than eighteen months ago, ln response to a resolution of the Senate, there was prepared and submitted a complete report with plan and estimates, showing clearly the possibility of suitable extension of the wster front In order to provide for the needs of the fleet as then composed, and also making liberal provision for future extensions so as to amply accommodate tbe battlesbips and armored cruisers now under construction. The bureau, therefore, cannot too urgently recommend prompt action in this matter, and requests that the estimales tor this year's appropriation make liberal provision for such Improvements, the appropriation therefore to become available Immediately after the passage of the bill."

It went down to worae defeat than under the leadership of a atroug personality a man of aggression rather than coiupluiaanre. The lesson of the defeat has been clearly pointed out by the editor of this newspaper. Jiy view ia ouly a personal one, that docs not commit him. But, in my humble JiUs-nient, the American people have lecognized several things: The United Stales ia world power: it has the Philippines on hand, and its honor and credit Is their guaranlee of a right to enter the zone of civilization.

The Ameriuan peoplo are all workers, ami they have confidence in "the man who does thlnp-a." Cleveland could have annexed Hawaii and freed the slruggliug Cubans. he done these natural and humane acta, lie would have perpetuated ihe rule of bis parly. The American people are willing to con ilnue the payment of excessive tnrllf on imports, aim par.y -j so will remain in the minority. Tlieretore, whatever modifications are made in the pro teeiive duties must, of necessity, be origl natcd and consummated by the Republican eves of the people of the world that the I nited Stales attained by tbe successful and speedy prosecution of the Spanish war can only be inulii-toincd by the majesty of our naval strength. Roosevelt bus reduced the nrmy and enlarged tho navy! We ore growing along the lines that are most effective.

Recall what Prussia's crushing defeat of France meant to the entire German people! The campaign was only a few weeks longer than ours against Spain. But it gave United Germany a place lu the affairs of the world hardly second to any other power. Mr. Cleveland had two opportunities to make tne democratic party the party of action, which might have necessitated Ihe return of the Kepuu- licnn party to power Tor tne purpose oi sv-Inir the country." Only, in this Instance, it would have been a task ot many years duration. I began by quoting Mr.

Hanna's remark that his party possessed "resilience." A proof of It is seen in the immediate) four veurtt heuict'. himself OUt Of UlC running. But two men, apparently, are al ready in the field: First, John Hay, Secretary of Stato and the recognized denn of the world's diplomacy. Mr. Hay's inclinations are all literary We were comrades in the old Tribune office, and he never was happier when silling with tne leit toot uu u.n.v before him writing a bantering paragraph or a good-humored but nover flamboyant article of commendation.

Ho tried his hand as a special correspondent at the Chicago and the Boston fires, ln editorial work, he w-us a man of ideas. Nobody has forgotten hiH wonderful article: "Did We Uscapo a Napoleon?" It was such nn eulogy of Colonel Ellsworth as nover had been written and, I must confess, nobody elso has confirmed. But, it was superb. It ought to be read In the new schools of journalism that are springing up throughout the land. I now opproach a delicate point.

The authorship of "The Breadwinners" never has been admitted; but grounds for believing Mr. Huy tho writer are countless. If he be nominated, that now-forgotten book will bo the rage liifo "The Simple Life." It doesn't exactly put Hay on the side of labor, but It will multa voles among the tradesmen of tho land. People who haven't time to read It will think It a defense of tho tollers, and "Little Breeches" will cutch thu cowboy element. John Hay's rise has been line tniu or uis-raoll.

Ilia is a triumph of high literary intellectuality over the commoner methods of modem politics. He has grown lnlo a big ligure ln our American lire ana no is to-oaj the largest and strongest personality in his party outside the White House. Second. Charles W. Fairbanks, Senator from Indiana and Vice President-elect.

Mr. Fairbanks is a product of domestic growth. He began as a country boy, is wholly and essentially a Western man, but ho has firmly-seated convictions on all public questions. Ho had the best of reasons tor expecting to be the residuary legatee of tho McKinley following; but Theoelorn Roosevelt has changed that, and Senator Fuirbunks will now have the. light of his life to succeed his present chief In tlin llrst executive office of the land.

I have known Charles Fairbanks sinco lie was 17 years of age. We were born in udjoining counties In Ohio; I saw hlin matriculate at the Ohio Wesleyan University, and was In the press gallery at Washington when he took tho oath as United States Senator. During the campaign, I remember to have heard him spoken of as "a man of lie," Nothing could be more inaccurate. He Is anything but conservative If by conservatism one means to describe niuu who Is evasive of responsibility or rhory of frankness. Fairbanks always has an opinion about anything known to htra.

Of things unknown ho Is the frankest confessor of ignorance I ever knew. That is a mark of greatness. Too of'Cfl, men discourse with affected sorlousniv-is about subjects that are similiters to their mental 1 1 lea. Many Washington cor- respondenls wl'l recall an instance, in v.nn-u Fairbanks a spe-ern nv i col- league from Indiana, who hud lately returned from a trip over the 'I'rans-Hiherlan Railway, i iw. mated more fuels ahiiut the actual condition of that, gieat iravel route than Senator Iteveilrlge had been able to gather dining bis long journey or publish In a weeklv magazine Hint exploited him.

Now that Senator Hoar is gone, there sn an abler lawyer on Hie floor of the Senate than Fairbanks, Spooner will be BURgestiid. hut oplnloim differ widely about that WIs-conslu gentleman. Mr. Fairbanks will have a large following Ho never has published any bonks that hli enemies, peraem-il or political, can distort and twist to his injury. Ho has plenty of money and many rlrn friends.

Thus endeih the cyclonic campaign season. Th" political Indian summer follows. BROOKLYN REALTY OWNERS. (Special to the F.igle Albany. November II The Brooklyn Really Owners has tiled a certificate announcing that Us number of directors has been increased from three) to seven.

FALSE PROPHETS. A man with a shoddy brown beard, evidently on display about three days or four, and a law-abiding citizen with checks and Hps as hairless as a toy balloon, met on a bridge car in the morning and exchanged tips on the weather. The first one asked: "Where's your mustache, old man?" The other felt tho smooth place under his nose and answered: "Election bet." And on further Inquiry ho spcelfM, "I relinquished all my right, title and good will In and to that little keepsake, and all the rents, issues and profits thereof, for three months In consideration of having erroneous ideas concerning tha next president." ThlB caused til" first man to remark: "Any mun who will jeopardize an Anglo-Saxon mustache through lalth in the political wisdom of fifteern million cosmopolitan voters, most of whom, I take it, are unknown to him, ought to be hit on the nose with a sausage.

What's the good of being a Democrat if you can't wear a mustache after election? If It IB your Intention to make yourself ignominious, you might as well be a Republican and form a trust." "I don't think I could form anything now except a resolution never to h-t anything connected with my head unless I bet tbe whole cocoanut at once, thereby in case of loss, having nothing left with which to mourn my tolly; and as for i rusts, I fe'I too bumble to have anything to do with them except pay thorn large and fluttering prolits. Say, why don't you shave?" "I'm going to grow a bcuid," answered the other. "What for?" "Well, the beard I am about to grow stands for curtain principles. II will be no ordinary halr goods. It staris on its carei-r as a free trade, anti-lmperlulist, dowu-witli-ihc-trusts beard, and Is against all kinds ot foolish expenditures anil corruption.

Wagner." May Yoho Is coming back to the stage. She will appear at Haramcrstein'stand stipulates that she shall be billed as "Morely May Yohe." It would be nearer the fact to bill her as "Nearly May Yohe." If they could post inside the theater tile opinion which Richard Hyde expressed to Miss Yohe the last time she sang here as an annex to the Hope diamonds, it would be worth the price of admission. A war of the "Parsifals" is threatened between Herr Conried and Henry Savage. Yesterday Joseph Engel, of Strasburg. whom Mr.

Savage engaged to stage "Parsifal" in English, resigned from the Savage forces. He gave as his reason that he was going over to the Metropoiltau Opera House to be a stage director there. Perhaps he is to assist in making the temptation scene "decollete," as Mr. Conried has promised that it shall be. i A novel theatrical partnership has been formed between Crystal Heme, a daughter of the late James A.

Charles Frohman has obtained -the rights of "The Mountain Climbers," a German farce, for America and England.

It was in the First Spiritual Church, on Bedford avenue, nenr Madison street, last Sunduy evening. Several messages had been delivered to members of the congregation, and all present were Intensely Interested. Fumbling about with her hand over the big heap of letters lying before her, Mrs.

Pepper, after a moment's hesitation, picked up one bearing the Initials "Who's Is it?" she asked. There was no respouse. "Some one here must have placed this letter on the table," she continued. Now, whom docs it belong to? You might as well tell, because i ll find you anyway." After a moment's silence a middle-aged, thin-faced woman sitting in the gallery said: "It's mine." Mrs. Pepper looked at the envelope and then looked at tile woman.

The latter was leaning toward her with her eyes all ablazo In eager expectancy. It was evident that the answer to whatever question she had put in the letter meant a great deal to her. "Now, you look like a sensible woman," commented Mrs. Pepper. The audience wondered what was coming.

"Do you mind it I read out loud the question vou have put?" I don't mind. If you can do it," answered the woman, with a smile. Mrs. Pepper read: will Irank marry me?" "Is that right?" she asked. The lovelorn woman was too overcome to say anything, but nodded her assent.

A reporter, the other day, went to interview an old resident and business man who won ahout to celebrate his golden wedding. Mr. H. related with animation the circumstances under which he met his wife, and those that led up lo tholr murrlage. Hu named without hesitation the day and hour the wedding occurred, and the namo of the minister who performed the ceremony, and threw in on the side a number of intorentlng reminiscent remarks about old New York in the days when he was a younn fellow about town.

"How many children have you?" Inquired the reporter. After a pause the old man replied, "Ten." "I think that I can use their names," suggested the interviewer. Well, there's John iiainax, organ hi-sitatlnRly, "and Mary Louise, who is anminwiraiion in ine uBnis now ucuuiug ,1.,.. hflV been appointtJ(1 t0 ln vhe Southi tnere no reason to believe that the South will be harrowed up "hy an aggressive and 01- tensive recognition the negroes on the part of the President. A movement is on foot among certain Southern Democrats to bring about a better understanding between the administration and the South on the question of negroes.

has been asserted in some quarters that the South misunderstands the President's attitude ln this matter. It is also that the South is anxious for a reconciliation, and that it would not be difficult to line it up with the rest of ihe country in endorsement of the President. A prominent Southern Democrat, ln speaking of this matter, to-day, said: "It is my firm belief that but for the Booker T. Washington luncheon incident President Roosevelt would have won the electoral votes of several states in the so-called Solid South. The feeling of admira tion for him that is so general throughout the country, existed in the South prior to that luncheon.

A great change in political sentiment has been taking place in that part of the country in recent years. The old Confederate element is being supplanted by young men who live in the present. Thousands of them are going into the manufac turing business and are in favor of protection. The Republican party would have got the votes of many of, these young men but for the Washington incident. The editor ot one ot the most influential papers in the South told me just prior to the luncheon at the White House that he proposed to support Roosevelt this year.

But the Washington luncheon finished him, and be was one" of Roosevelt's most bitter opponents in the campaigu. The South would give a great deal if there could be a re-ad Just-ment on the negro question. All that remains of the 'Solid South' are the unreconstructed states, and with the negro taken out of politics there would be even less of the 'Solid Anything like a change in the attitude of the President would be welcomed heartily in the South." In this connection the following story, which Ib going the rounds here, may be repeated and taken for what it Is worth. It is to the effect that Booker T. Washington never sat down at table and ate with the President.

As the story goes the distinguished negro called at trie White House just as the President was sitting down to luncheon. The latter had an atteruoon of engagements ahead of him and so asked Washington to come into the dlningroom and talk to him as he ate. Washington, having had his luncheon, seated himself In a chair against the wall, eight-or ten feet from the table, and from that point proceeded to converse with' the President. When the story as it has since been accepted was sent abroad the President, according to the new version. refused to correct it, feeling that if he was be set right in the matter a statement should be made by the colored man.

The latter said nothing. Secretary Taft has received the reports and recommendations of the various retired army ofhcerB who are serving with state militia organizations. Among tbe important suggestions made by these officers are the Stricter Regulations for Militia. following: "A uniform system for educating line officers should be promulgated by the Wor Department; the entrance physical examination prescribed tor the regular army Bhould be adopted for the militia; states adopting the United Slates uniform should have some distinguishing designation upon the collars ot officers coats r.nd the uniform of the troops; per diem allowance should be paid for attendance at drills; every enlisted man of the organized militia should receive a sufficient clothing allowonce to thoroughly equip him with dress and field outfit; ammunition at target practice should bo without cost to the Btate."

GOSSIP OF THE THEATERS. J. H. Stoddart, who will appear next week at the Majestic Theater, tells ihis Btory ot the first day he came to New York: It was ln 1854, and I was a good deal of a youngster then. It seems to me as It I had always been upon the stage, for my first appearance was when I was six years old.

My father was ah aclor ot more or less importance ln Edinburgh, and for more than twenty years appeared at one ot the leading theaters, playing the old comedies and Shakspearc repertoire. I left him when I was a boy and toured through England and Scotland, but it was a precarious sort of life, and I determined to seek my fortune In America. 'Those were days when we did not know much about this country. It was a vast Indefinite something, somewhere across tho water, where every boy of brawn and pluck might strike out with his good right arm and battle his way toward fame and fortune. "Being an actor of rnther doubtful hlB-trlonic reputation, you can easily see that I was Impecunious.

So when I started on my it was on one of the slow packerts. where I had ample opportunity to loll for days and days In the shadow of Its spreading canvas and dream of hope and despair. All this led me to the conclusion that I would quit the stage and become a man of affairs. But, blpss your heart, the minute I got to New York I made diroctly for tbe theater as if I had been led by a chain. I saw the elder Wallack and be gave me nn engage ment, not Important, but still a start.
