The arrangement of the table is

each place are the glasses for water
and four or five wines, three forks
and knives and napkin and a caraffe
with iced water. Upon the latter

ti... ..r.nil corridor and Tjrocfed direct

dent and wife await them. Each
i .'ontleman upon entering ihc room is
i jalldetl by an usher a email envelope
' cutuit""! a card ii. scribed with the
plan of the table and bearing the
name of the lady he will escort. On
the diagram the number of the seats
he and his lady will occupy are
marked. After being received by the
President and wife he examines the
cards and ;mmeniately joins the lady
whom he will accompany to the State
dining hall. His own lady remains
with him until her escort appears.
All the guests having arrived, at
the appointed hour the steward an
nounces that the dinner is in readi
ness. The President, with his first
lady guest leads the way to the State
dining room, followed by the remain
ing guests. The presiding lady, es
corted bv the principal gentleman,
closing the line. The Marine Band
meanwhile performs a suitable march.
In the dining-room the guest; zaa
their places and take the seats as
signed to them by the plate cards.
wmch correspond in location with tne
diagram handed them upon entering
the Eait Room.
There are four services at all etate
dinners. The dishes, in their order,
are served on silver platters by
waiters, the guests helping themselves.
The chief waiter serves the l'resident
first and then proceeds toward the
right, and the second waiter toward
the left. The same course is observed
on the opposite side of the table, be
crinnini with the Dresidinz lad v. No
one is ever served twice. The plates
of one course are removed as soon as
each guest is finished and the plate
for the next is put in its place.
At the close of the dinner, which
lasts about three hours, it has been
the custom of late years for the gen
tlemen to leave the table with the
ladies and not return. The custom
during the earlier Administrations
was for the ladies to have their coffee
served in the drawing-room and for
the gentlemen to return to drink a
single glass of wine to the health of
the President, Gentlemen wishing
to enjoy a cigar retire during the
coffee to the corridor it the foot of
the private stairway, but join the
ladies when the presiding lady makes
he motion to retire. After one
prouiennde through the suit of parlors
the gentlemen surrender their 'adies
to the centiemen with whom they
came, and with their own ladies take
leave of the President and cis lady.
They should receive their wrappings
and leave the building quietly and
promptly. The last of the guests
should have retired within thirty
minutes after leaving the tabic.

AN ENOKMOI'S EXPENDITURE.
A Total of 227 First-Class Battle Ship?
Which Will Cost $349,515,000
-A Great Work.
Washington, Jan. 24. Tbe senate
committee on naval affairs held a
meeting to-day, at which, after con
siderable discussion the committee
decided upon a policy which will gov
ern it during this congiessional work
of building up the navy. This is iu
brief, that great line of battle ships
like the Koglinh lienbow snouia oe
constructed at once. Senators
Chandler and McPhe'raoh, however,
are not in accord with the decision
reached, and majority and minority
reports will be submitted to the
senate. Senator Stanford is not
wholly committed to the decision
reached.
The naval policy board appointed
by Secretary Tracy made recommen
dations for building ten first-class
battle ships of 10,000 ton each; eight
first-class,of 8000 each;twelve second
class, of 7100 tons each; three third
class of 6300 to 7600 tons, five third
class, of C00C tons; six harbor moni
tors, of 4000 to 6000 tons; one cruis
ing monitor, of 3800 tons; eleven rams,
ot 2000 to 3300 tons; nine thinarmored
cruisers, of 6250 tons; four first-class
protected cruisers, 7500 tons; ten
first-class protected, of 5400 tons;
twelve second-class protected, of 3000
to 4o00 tons; six third-class protected,
of 1700 to 3190 tons; ten gun vessels
and dispatch boats, of 850 to 1500
tous; 8ir.teen torpedo cruisers, of about
900 tons; three torpedo, depot and
artificers' shij 8, of 5000 tons each;
1C1 torpedo boats, of 65 tons each,
making a total of 227 ships, ot tlU,-0.-.5
tons, at a cost of $349,515,060.
This total includes $67,965,000 already
expended, and authorizes the cxpen
diture of $281,550,000.
When the eommittee proceeded to
consideration of the recommendations
the issue was raised whether it was
advisable at this time to begin with
tne construction of the immense line-
of-battle shipj proposed, including
harbor defense monitor!. There are
forty-four of these vessels, and they
would cost $202,490,000, while the
other vessels together would cost only
$147,025,000. Chandler aad "lcf her
son urged that the Uni.ed States
should continue the present policy of
baildinir fast cruisers and ceter build
ing huge line-of-battle ships until we
had a large number of cruisers, or
there was some exigency calling lor
their construction. Un this issue the
committee divided, the majority
agreeing with the policy of the board,
ami Hale was instructed to report
favorably the bill introduced by him
several lays ago, embodying the
recommendations of Secretary Tracy.

CAUGHT IN A BIOCKADE.
IIow the Goddess, Christine Nilsaon
Ate Bologna Sausage.
Max Karetiek. in PhUadelnbia Tunes.
Singers aro always hungry, and,
as a rule. . are - enormom eaters.
Shall I gfve you one or two in
stances in point! Yest Well
here goes. Christine Nilssoo was;
a big. eater, out sae put on airs
about her food, but on one occasion
when she was under Strakosch's
management and. I was musieai
director she had to eat what sb
could get. We were ;n route from
Cincinnati to Buffalo.. On tbe road,
about half-way, Igot out and bought
atngeansage and av loaf of rye
bread, and when the train moved
again I began to eat it with
quiet a relish. Kilsson, who sat
almost directly opposite, turned
around with a grimace of disgust
en her face. "Whs is eating garlic,
or sausage, or something?" 6he
asked bitterly. "Bah'" And she
took out three or four flacens and
sprinkled the pnTunie all over the
car. "Couldn't vou wait till we
got to Buffalo. Must jeu buy such
awful stuff? Yen knew Strakosch
had ordered dinner at Buffalo, but
you couldn't wait. You bad to buy
that awful sausage ana make me
sick!" Nilsson continued in this
strain tor a short time. I pat the
rest of my sausage into my pocket.
I apologized, I felt rather sheepish.
Now it happened that jutt as we
were a few hours from uunaio
a freight train brake down, and we
were hemmed in. Everybody was
excited. We would be late. We
were hungiy. At about 10 o'clock
I fell asleep. I bad eaten and was
comfortable. Tne others were not.
At about 2 o'clock in tbe night I felt
a touch on my arm. I rubbed my
eyes, stretched.
-'Who is it? What's tbe matter P
'Uusb ! it's I, Max. Its Chris
tine, bay,. .Max. I'm awlully
hungry, J'ai diablement faim!
Can't you let me have that bit of sau
sage I saw you put into your pocket
yesterday. Do let me nave it,
Max!" Imagine a '"goddess" eat
ing bologna but she did it and
with relish. Adeline Patti too has
a big appetite and wherewith to
gratify it. She was but three years
old when I first saw her, and came
now and then to concerts where her
mother sang. I remember one day
when "Norma" was played. Patti
Bariii sang "Norma'.' A ma I: a Patti
sang ''Adalgisa" and iittle Adeline
Patti sang one of tbe babies. Five
or six years later, when Jenny Lind
was all the rage, Adeline knew al
most all her songs. One day I bad
a rehearsal for a concert in Tupler
Hall, where the grand Central
Hotel now stands. I suggested to
Patti Bariii to let little Adeline
sing a few songs of Jenny Lind's.
She overheard me. "Will I get
a hatful of bon-bens if I go and
sing, Mr. Max?" "Yes" said I.
When the evening of the concert
came and the time for little Adelena
to go on arrived, I had forgotten
all about the bon-bons. The gill
bad not forgotten them. Where
arc my candies, Mr. Max?' I said
I had forgotten them. I would
give them to her the next day. No,
