KfILBFUS To TAKE
FLEET TO PANAMA
Continued From Flr*t Page.
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.

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 tQtal mor
tality for the year was about 5,000. —

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.

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

golden yellow net with a Iheavy design
all over it in long, narrow gold beads.
Above that is a flounce of Ohautilly

is worn a chemise of the tan and-gold
lace through which the outline of the
nnderwaist is visible.

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

I square Dutch neck.

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-

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?—-
