Arrangements for the Bachelors’ Co- da Hunt Ball—Matters of Personal Interest. The wedding of Miss Grace Anita Walker, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Wm. H. Wal- ker, and Mr. Hallet Osmer Nettleton of New Haven, Conn., took place today at high noon at the Calvary Baptist Church, Dr. Samuel Greene officiating. The march from Lohengrin, rendered by Professor Theo. I. King, heralded the approach of the bridal party. The bride, attired in a walking sown of gray crepon, brown velvet’ and fur, entered, leaning on the arm of her | father, who gave her in marriage. Her younger sister May, the maid of honor, wore heliotrope broadcloth, and carried the vellum bound prayerbook from which the service was read, the marker being violets, the bride’s flowers. She was preceded by the ushers, Messrs. Charles Lee Cooke, Thos. Purcell Woodward, John B. Macau- ley, and Wallace Stowell, all of Washing- ton, D. C. At the same time the groom, ac- companied by the best man, Mr. Walter P. Keene, entered from the door on the left, | and, crossing before the altar received the bride. After the ceremony, the immediate wedding party returned to the home of the bride’s parents, 1840 Vermont avenue, where a wedding breakfast was served pre- vious to the departure of the bridai couple | for southern climes. The presents were nu-| merous and handsome. Among those who witnessed the marriage ceremony were many'relatives and friends | from in and out.of town. Some of them | were: Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hart Smith of | Baltimore; Miss Grace Dean of New Lon-| don, Conn.; Miss Addie Larrick, Winches- | ter; Mr. Harvey Creighton, Alexandria, | Va.; Mr. and Mrs. L. V. Mackintosh, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Wise, Mr. and Mrs. Wheel- er Mackintosh, Mr. and Mrs. T. V. Mackin- tosh, jr.; Miss Annie Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs, Wm. Downey, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sohon, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. R.

It is pro- posed to give <a cotillions at the Nation- al Rifles’ Hall Wednesday, January 3; Mon- day, January 15, and Wednesday, January | 31. Possibly a fourth will be given after Lent. These cotillions have been immensely | successful in past years and there is every reason to believe that they will be even more popular this winter, when the social season will be short and necessarily crowd- ed with good things. The cotillions will commence at 10 o'clock and an effort is to be made to have them over with at a rea- sonably early hour. Mrs. Eben J. Loomis, who since the death of her mother has returned to Washington, will be pleased to see her friends at 1613 Florida avenue, head of 16th street north- west. The ladies of the board of managers of the Homeopathic Hospital held one of their series of luncheons and teas yesterday. ; Luncheon was served from 12 to 2 o'clock, ! followed by the tea from 7 to 10 o'clock. | Dancing from 9 to 10 o'clock mongpolized | the attention of the young people present. Mrs. W. W. Van Derlip, president of the board of managers, served coffee. Mrs. S. A. Duncanson and Mrs. W. 0. Roome served chocolate. Mrs. J. B. G. Custis, Mrs. L. A. Tinker and Mrs. P. A. Cleve- land —— at the ice cream table. Mrs. S. A. Williamson and Mrs. A. W. Gill served sandwiches. Mrs. R. Kingsman and Mrs. W. W. Smith were in charg of | the supper table. Arrangements are being made for a “pink ball” to be given by the Chevy Chase Hunt Club on December 27. This wll be quite an j innovation in social entertainments in this | city, though elsewhere in hunting sections balls of this sort are very popular, the “pink” coats of the riders for once making the gay gowns of the women seem dull in comparison. On Friday afternoon next Mrs. Zelia Nut- tall of Berlin will receive with Mrs. Caro- line H. Dall. Members of the scientific so- cleties who may wish to meet her will be welcome guests at 1526 18th street. Miss Minnie Sellman of Baltimore and Miss Agnes Entwisle of West Washington | will be with Mrs, Maury Dove during} Thanksgiving week.

The Salvation Army will formally open the new hail of its local corps at 930 Penn- sylvania avenue on Friday evening. Adju- tant and Mrs. Dunham, who are in charge of the work in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, will come over from Baltimore to conduct the dedication serv- ices, which will begin promptly at 8 o'clock. Adjutant and Mrs. Dunham will be here tomorrow aiso, when special Thanksgiving day services will be held at the new hall at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and at 8 o'clock lin the evening. At the latter meeting Mrs. Durham will give the very Interesting story jof her personal experience in the army. | Capt. McFetridge and Lieut. Boireicht, the | officers in charge of the local corps will, of course, take an active part in all these | meetings. The Salvation Army never sus- jpends its meetings unless it is absolutely impossible to carry them on so that the Jocal officers have been holding meetings right along ever since they removed on the | 15th to the new hail in spite of the dis- a@vantages due to the work on the tm- j Provements, which had to be made. For a! lions the army and its friends of the Auxiliaty League have been anxious to get a better hall, but sought a suitable one in vain until thev found the one at 930 Penn- | |sylvania avenue. which ts admirably adapt- led to the needs of the work.

His Report to Be Ready on Friday= At Will Contain Much re of Interest. Secretary Herbert has completed his ane nual report and it will be published next Friday. It contains, it is understood, a compiete statement of the operations of the naval establishment during the past year | an@ dwells with commendable pride on the many recent important additions to our naval strength in the completion of the Columbia, New York, Olympia, Detroit, Montgomery, Marblehead, Machlas and Castine and the satisfactory progress made on the battleships Indiana, Massachusetts, | Oregon, lowa, Maine and Texas. Recom- mendations for an increase of the navy are few. This is due to the depleted condi- tion of the national exchequer and the known opposition of Congress to large ex- penditures of any kind just at this time All the naval estimates, therefore, have been reduced to the lowest notch. It is understood that he asks for au- thority to build one additional battleship and four torpedo boats of the Ericsson type. His well-known preference for battle- ships over other types, when he was chair- man of the House naval affairs committee, resulted in the three battleships provided two years ago, and the fourth, the Iowa, authorized last Congress, He believes that for the present, at least, the navy is well Provided with vessels of the cruiser type, which are intended to show our flag ana perform all necessary service in time of Deace. Battleships, the are the backbone of the navy, and the more |We have the better and stronger the nai will be. He has therefore for one ship and six torpedo boats trom this | Congress. ‘The battieship, he Should be of the sume general design gs the Indiana, Massachusetts and and not *0 large as the Iowa, which by her Sreat draught will not be able to enter some of cur seaports. Submarine Boats, The Secretary, it is said, approves the recommendations of Capt. Sampson, chief of the ordnance bureau, that the $450,000 appropriated for a duplicate of the Vesuvius be used for the construction of four torpedo boats of the Ericsson type. The appropria- tion was made conditionally that the Ve- suvius proved successful, but as there is much doubt as to the value of the dynamite cruiser the Secretary believes that the money had better be used for other pur. poses. He also recommends that the 00, | 00 appropriated last Congress for a sub- | marine boat and experiments be devoted to constructing torpedo boats. This is recom- mended by the chief of ordnance. The idea so construct the submarine boat has been virtually abandoned for the present, it is said, on account of the uncertainty sur- rounding the efficiency and success of this type of craft. With authority to devote | these two appropriations for torpedo boats, six could be built without any additional appropriation. All that would be necessary is a clause in the naval appropriation bill | directing the Secretary to use the money in this way. The report is supposed to treat at length of the valuable lessons taught by the Co- lumbian naval review. It also shows the ecessity for congressional action to put pepe geen gegen ep tions, so as to provide a more rapid ad. vancement of officers, ly in the lower grades. The estimates of all the naval bureaux are lower than last year. The largest estimate for any single bureau is $5,KW),000 to pay for armor already con- tracted for. This armor is for vessels un- der construction, and includes no new pur- chases. The bureaus of construction and steam engineering require $6,540,000 to pay for ships and their = now It is said that th asks for an appropriation to commence the been selected and the land purchased, but there is not enough money available to do more than draw ok mo plans.
