Joseph Kalbfus secretary of the State Game Commission, will be the chief na\ igator of tho fleet, and Lieutenant Commander Harry L. Brinser, son of C. Ti. Brinsjr, claim agent of the Har ristourg Railways Company, will be the chief engineer of the fleet. As such both will be with Admiral Fletcher on t)he flagship and lead the entire fleet of sea-figbtern ana other vessels that will form the grand procession down the At lantic coast to the Panama canal, through the canal to the Pacific ocean and up the coast to San Francisco, where it wili participate in the opening of the Panama-fPacific Exposition in February. Lieutenant Commander Kalbfus lias just returned to Xew York after a tour of duty with Admiral Badger on the flagship Wyoming at Vera Cruz, where he was in charge of important government matters. Made Chief Navigator When Admiral Badger retired and was succeeded by Admiral Fletcher tho latter made Mr. Kalbfus his chief navi gator, and as such he has already per formed distinguished service. On the arrival of the fleet in New York a few weeks ago it was ordered to Hampton Roads for target practice and, as chief navigator, Mr. Kalbfus led the way through a storm that kept him on the toridge day and night, but he proved himself a master of navigation and took the fleet to its destination in safety. On the return of the fleet to Now York, a few days ago, orders were given to get ready to sail south to open the Panama canal on or about January 9, which would take the fleet to the canal several days later. Lieutenant Commander Brinser, who has been on duty at various points, was ordered to the flagship Wyoming as chief engineer, to have cha'rge on the journey to and through the canal up to the exposition city, and will again be with his fellow Harrisburger and Annapolis classmate, Kalbfus. He will toe at the head of the engineers of the entire fleet, <» most responsible position and one coveted bv naval officers. (His HARRTBBURO ST. selection was due to merit and met with the approbation of his fellow officers. Lieutenant Commanders Kalbfus and Brinser entered the navy at the same time, in 1895, and were scheiiiilod to graduate at Annapolis with the class of 1899. The two were in the Junior class in 1898, when the Spanish-Amer ican war broke out. The navy being short of officers, .the two young men were taken from the Naval Academy and sent out at once for active service, both being assigned to the Oregon, commanded bv Captain Clark, who brought the big fighter from San Fran cisco to the Florida Keys, clear around the Horn, to join the Atlantic fleet when ordered to do so. Brinser in the Boxer War There the two Harrisburg cadets joined the Oregon and at once got into the fight with Cervera's fleet at Ssnti ago, when the Oregon did great service in the destruction of Spanish battle ships. • Kalbfus is a former Ilarrisburg High school student and a graduate of Sel.- wyn Hall, Reading, and Brinser pre pared for Annapolis at the Harrisiburj Academy. After the Spanish-American war both went wi f h their ships to the Philippines, and Brinser had the good fortune to get ieto the Boxer war, be ing ordered to the scene of fighting. His record as a lighter was fully main tained in the contests with the« Chinese foe when he was in command of a fighting party of bluejackets. Since then both have been in active service, and have gradually been pormoteil un til they are regarded as two of the most efficient officers in the entire fleet. BIG BRITISH BATTLESHIP IS AT THE BOTTOM Inntlnurd From Klrnt Page. unharmed but the one aft was put out of commission. Attempt to Save Warship After taking oft' all the officers and crew who would leave the ship, Cap tain Haddock, of the Olympic, turned his attention to an attempt to save tho warship. A cable was given her but it snapped as it tightened. Meantime her bulk heads began to give way and it was soon apparent that it would be impossible to tow the ship or keep her afloat. The cruiser Liverpool and sev eral other warships which had come up stood by. Late in the afternoon it was decided to abandon the Audacious and the officers and men who hail re mained aboard reluctantly left her. The flotilla or rescue ships continued to stand by, however, until 9 o'clock that evening when a terrific explosion occurred on board and the Aiidaciou-s plunged stern first and in a moment ha l disappeared. Supposed Cause of Explosion The explosion is supposed to have been caused by shells set loose by the listing of the battleship. A bit of ar mor plate torn from the sinking ship struck the deck of the Liverpool cut ting the legs from under a gunner. The man died in a short time. The Audacious met her fate 25 miles off the Irish coast which the Olympic was skirting. The liner saile 1 from New York for Glasgow on October 21. She had been warned that there were Germau mines off Tory island and fear of these mines"was the official expla nation when she cxpectedly put into Lough Swilly. The Olympic's passen gers saw the flash of the explosion and watched the mighty warrior siuk. Then their ship turned her prow toward Lough Swilly. Small craft cleared the route to make sure it was free of,mines. From October 27 to November 2 the Olympic lay at liough Swilly during which time no one but naval officers fvere allowed to board her. An immedi ate investigation of the loss of the bat tleship was begun. Schwab on Board Olympic Charles M. Schwab was th e only pas senger who left the Olympic before it docked at Belfast on November 2. Vice Admiral Sir -lohn D. .fellieoe, comman der of the fleet, visited the scene of the disaster November 1 and it was with him that Mr. Schwab went to Lon don. Even officers of the White Star Line wer e not permitted to board the Olym pic at Lough Swilly and all supplies were taken aboard by men of the navy. After the steamer entered Belfast har bor one of the waiters on board was ar rested charged with being a spy aud detained for examination. Secrecy Regarding Loss of Vessel Secrecy regarding the loss of the Audacious was enjoined upon the crew and passengers of the Olympic, who were urged to refrain from discussing the naval tragedy which they had wit nessed pending a complete investiga tion. The crew of the Audacious was removed from the liner as soon as war ships for the purpose were available. "The crew of the Olympic was mag nificent," said one of the passengers. "A warship's crew could not have act ed with greater courage and precision. Everything was in readiness for launching the boats as soon as the Olympic was within reach of the Auda cious. The liner's crew was not daunt ed by the high sea which was running. Some of the boats were capsized but the men were fit and I understood that there was only one life lost in the sea.'' Small Boats Sweep For Mines While in the vicinity of Lough Swilly the passengers of the Olympic saw many small boats sweeping for mines though with what success they could not know. Many of the passeng ers expressed the belief that the sink ing of the Audacious possibly saved the Olympic which might otherwise have entered a mine field. Others held to the theory that a submarine torpe doed the warship, basing their opinion on the fact that she was wounded astern rather than forward which would more likely be the case if she had come in contact with a submerged explosive. Wlien Cholera Invaded New York There was cholera in New York in 1830 and again in 1832. The disease reached the city in June of the latte.- year and raged until the last of Octo ber. causing 3,515 deatlm. In 1849 the cholera appeared again, beginning at' the "Five Points" and spreading rap idly. The public school buildings wero turned into hospitals.

The Sin of Trousers Trousers were not introduced into England without a struggle—a strug gle in which the great Duke of Wel lington suffered his only defeat, for it is on record that in 1814 Wellington was refused admission to Almack's "because he wore trousers instead of breeches and silk stockings." Next year trousers were admitted to Al mack's and Wellington won Waterloo. —London 'iiatler. [-INDEPENDENT. SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 14, 1914.

I OF INTEREST TOWOMEN GAIETY AND GRACE IN EVENING FROCKS Chicle Combinations of Velvet and Lace in Black or Contrasting Col ors—The Gay Touch of Artificial Flowers New York, Nov, 14. With fluffy flounces and full skirts, of materials light and airy, the evening 'gown of the season seems sparkling with gftiety and life. Flounces of lace, chif fon or fine net are tastefully combined with velvet, thus giving- what might 'have been heavy a deli'cate, breezy touch. Cloths of gold or silver are strong features of the season's novelty fabrics. These are entirely different from metal cloths which we have previously used; they are warranted not to turnisli and are as light as silk and as trans parent as chiffon. On gowns of shell Black Lace and Velvet Over a Char meuse and Metal Net Undersiip pink the silver is most attractively used as a tunic, or as a long and graceful sash. Cloth of gold on white is dainty and charming beyond words. It also comibiues with almost any ol' the other colors, dark or light, A combination of black panne velvet and cloth of silver is stunning iu its simplicity. J'he three-flounced skirt is of silver, each flounce bound with a bias strip of itself, with the edge im pressed. that it may look almost like a ord. The bodice is made of a strip of panne velvet, which is placed basque fashion over an underbodice of net. The edges of the V-shaped neck and the ex tremely short sleeves of the net are out lined with a narrow passimen'terie, com posed alternately of one long bead and a rhinestone. In the front at the point ol the V neck a. bright red rose gives life and zest to the entire costume. The gown of black lace and velvet which is used for the illustration is made over a slip of white eharmeuse having an outer lining of gold metal net. The bodice of black chiffon velvet is made in a sur'; lice basque effect. The plain net across the front is over the metal net. The sleeves are a mere ruf fle over each shoulder. The wide skirt of lace through which glimmers the metal and white is rather short, as is the style for the dresses for day or evening wear. A rosy, 'colored flower is used at the closing of the waist. A gown simple and wonderfully ef fective is made olf salmon colored chif fon velvet; The skirt is full chirred several times at the top to make the gathers fall easily and gracefully. At the bottom of this skirt is a six-inch ruffle gathered over a thick cord. The edge is not hemmed, 'but finished with a machine-made picot. The waist is com posed of a net and lace foundation, over which is draped a wide piece of the bias velvet with picot edges, giving the effect of a low waistline and reacti ng as high as the point of the V neck. At the «ack the velvet drooped lower than the front, showing the latest line around the 'hips. Another dress worthy of note is made LUCERNE' 3 QUAINT BRIDGE In Its Center Is an Old Time Prison and Torture Chamber Lucerne, in Switzerland, possesses what is probably the most curious hridge in the woidd as well as one of the greatest historic interest. This bridge, known as the Kapellbruocke. or "Chapel bridge," crosses the River Keuss at its junction with Lake Lu cerne. It was constructed so long ago as 1333 and for nearly tiOO years has formed the chief avenue of traffic across the broad but sluggish stream. In other days the bridge extended its zigzag shape to nearly twice its pros- J ent length ami reached as far as the < hofkirche, or cathedral, whence its, name. In the center of this covered wooden bridge stands the famous octagonal " wasserthurm," or water tower, whore in olden times the municipal troasuro stored. For ages it was also used as a prison and among its dungeons is a torture chamber. Hut the most unique feature of ajl consists of the on an underslip of white eharmeuse and metal net.. The lower section is of heavy golden yellow net with a Iheavy design all over it in long, narrow gold beads. Above that is a flounce of Ohautilly with a waist of 'brocade. Over this waist is worn a chemise of the tan and-gold lace through which the outline of the nnderwaist is visible. Cloi'h of gold is used for the se.'ond illustration with n 'bodice of shell pink panne velvet, which divides in the Ijack. the lower portion extending int« a sash. The sleeves and flounces on the skirt are of the shimmering cloth of gold. The artificial flower is a feature of almost every gown. It adds the note of contrast, the brilliant, touch that gives zest, or tfhe depth of character neces sary to the successful completion of any gown. These flowers are made of silk and velvet in colors natural or unnatural. The important thing is not how near to nature they can be made, but to have the color contrast which tells, on the dress it is to be worn upon. Roses made of cloth of silver and tied with stream ers of dull blue pivot-edged ribbon are worn at the waist of a dress, with bod ice of white satin having a brocaded velvet pattern in hazy pink green and dull blue, arid skirt of pink taffeta, which was caugtht. up on one side by these'roses, making one side of the dress perceptibly shorter than the other. An entire dress ot' cloth of silver would have been cold indeed, without the addition of a 'brilliantly shaded | pink rose worn just at one side of the I square Dutch neck. j Black in all the suitable falbrics is made into gowns for evening, and with out the aid of the popular flower might •be dull, indeed. Paris set the style of not wearing gloves witHi evening gowns aud so we have taken it up and the gowns are s'eeveless and worn with the arms and 'hands bare. It truly is sensible, not to say economical. 'But when gloves are worn they are more often white than colored, and only the woman in mourn ing would wear black gloves with her black evening dress. The foot gear for evening gowns are, of course, slippers. There was much talk of sandals and low-heeled slippers, but it has been merely talk, fjr the heels are, if anything, higher than over. To be always correct, it is safe to have slippers the color, or the pre dominating, color of the gown. But slip- A Frock of Cloth of Silver Combined with Shell-pink Panue Velvet i pcra of gold-and-silvcr cloth, or satin j brocaded with silver and gold, or some |of the wonderful tapestries may be worn to advantage with many. But with these the greatest discrimination must •be used. Properly worn they add a flisitiiKltive touch, hut worn without fhought. tlioy are apt to spoil the effect of the entire costume. The pii'ot edging, -which I have spoken (»f in the fore part, of mv letter, is R strip of cloth machine hemstitched, with the stitching cut through the ex act center, thus adding a pii'ot edge to both edges. This gives a finish to ma terials like velvet Which is not •clumsy. This is also used on edges of casheß where silk has been used instead of rifabon. scries of curious pictures in the roof of the bridge.

Peeling or Paring I Does one peel or pare a potato? There is authority for tho contention i that raw potatoes are pared, while po j tatocs boiled with their jackets ou ; may be peeled. It is a fine distinction, but logical. You pare a thing b,v tak ing a knil'o ami removing its outer iu tegument, together with some of the substance of the thing itself. But to peel sn apple or a potato or a case of sunburn you seize the already loosen ed integument itself and simply strip it off —it's hard to put it, into words, j but you see how it is, don't you?—- Cleveland Plain Dealer. 7
