IS NEW MALADY And the Disease is Said to Have Hit Metropolis of Northwest in Most Virulent Form. VISITORS POURING IN BY THOUSANDS Brilliant Feature of the Entertain ment Will Be the Great Reviewing Stand—Governors of 8everal States Are There. Hearst News Service. Seattle, Wash., May 23.—In Its most virulent form, the fleet-madness which has raged an an epidemic in the cities of the California coast to day seized Seattle' In, its grasp and transformed the populace, augmented by thousands of visitors, into a fair imitation of an^army of howling der vishes. All day yesterday and early this morning the trains and boats poured sightseers into the city In an ever-increasing flood that threatens to swamp the hospitable provisions of Seattle's houses of entertainment. The rush for places of vantage to witness the incoming of the fleet began early and continued until the great fighting ships poked their noses into Elliot Hay, to be welcomed by a pandemo nium of cheers and booming guns and shrill, jubilant whistles from the craft in the harbor, taken up and echoed by myriad whistles In factory and mill. Two great merchant vessels bearing ;he reejdlon committee of the Seat tle chamber of commerce, the mayor of Seattle, the governor of Washing ton and executive officials of all the states and leading cities of the North west, headed the line of scores of craft that welcomed the fleet. Mead and Mayor Miller extended to the officers and men of the fleet the freedom of the state and the city, and Admiral Thomas was presented with a large key of purest Alaska gold. This evening the officers of the fleet will be given a reception by the chamber of commerce, and the en listed men will be the gueets of the city fire department at a grand hall at Leschi Park pavilion, at which some of the fairest daughters of the Pacific Northwest will dance with the gallant tars of Uncle Sam's navy. Tomorrow special services will be held in all churches for the tars of religious proclivities, and the others will not lack entertainment, even, let ft be whispered, If their desires should Governor ... ..V take the form of Indulgence In the cup that cheers. Next week's entertainment will open with a great land parade that will be one of the spectacular and most thrilling features of the demon stration In this city attendant upon the present visit of the Atlantic battle ship fleet. Sixteen thousand uni; formed men, marching to the music of 40 bands, between double lines of several hundred thousand pedple, will furnish the greatest military spectacle ever seen In the northwest. A particularly brilliant feature of the parade will be the Immense re viewing stand at Second avenue and Stewart street, before which the marching men will salute the high of ficials of the army and navy, tbe gov ernors of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Mayor Miller of Seattle, and the executives of many other cities in the northwest. The sec tion of the grandstand reserved for the official party will be brilliant with the blue and gold lace of the army and navy uniforms, and will form a bright central picture in the sea of bright-colored summer costumes and striking hats of the women who will assemble upon the stand to cheer the passing troops. of Diamonds mounted in one form or another are Ideal wedding presents.

Easy Entertaining. One woman who does her own work and yet likes to entertain a good deal has brought order out of chaos and made the work lighter for herself by limiting her dinner to three hot dishes. 8he serves first iced canta loupe, grape fruit or oysters, accord ing to the season; then meat, pota toes and one vegetable. Salad and dessert are prepared beforehand, and so Is the coffee. She serves all but the three hot dishes—whlch^ff course must be brought from the kitchen— from a small serving table at her side, which has two shelves beneath It and an outstanding bracket shelf for the clean and used dishes. The coffee, in a French coffee pot, Btands on one of the brackets of the serving table and bolls merrily until required. Diamonds mounted In one form or another are Ideal wedding presents.
