CAME FROM LETTER TO MADRIZ Teutonic Diplomats Angry Over Rumors of Strained Relations.—Says Diaz Didn't Offer Germany Coaling Station. Berlin, July 13.—Germany has taken no stand in opposition to the United States in the affairs of Central and South America. Germany has issued no statement that could be construed in to antagonism of the American government in what that government has done, is doing, or may do, in Nicaragua. This declaration was made at the German foreign office. Special dispatches received here from Washington and other American cities reported that the German foreign office had issued a statement that "Germany refuses to recognize any right on the part of the United States to supervise her diplomatic relations with other countries. Central and South American countries in general and Nicaragua in particular." When this report was placed before the foreign office it was given an emphatic denial. No such statement, an official declared angrily, had been issued by that department or by any other department of the German government. German government officials are greatly wrought up by the attempts made to have this country appear in a role of antagonism to the United States, whenfl on the contrary, it has been the desire of the government to develop both the commercial and diplomatic relations with America. The present situation has arisen from the publication of a letter from Emperor William to Dr. Madriz, president de facto of the government of Nicaragua. In several quarters apparently the significance of this letter has been misjudged, and it became necessary in order that no wrong construction might be placed on the letter to issue a statement through the foreign office explaining that the letter was merely a formal acknowledgment of a notice received from Madriz of his election to the presidency. Germany to Keep Off. This explanation was accompanied by the statement that Germany had no intention of intervening in any way in Nicaraguan affairs and that the reported offer by Madriz of a coaling station to a European power if it would intervene in Nicaragua was not made to Germany. The emperor's letter to Dr. Madriz was dated April 26 and said: "I am informed by your letter of the 27th of December of last year that your excellency was elected president of the republic by the merited confidence of your fellow citizens and that your excellency entered upon your most honorable duties on the 21st of that month." An expression of the usual diplomatic good wishes and desire for the cultivation of good relations between the two countries followed. GAMBLING LID SCREWED TIGHT.

Aylward of Madison, spoke in strong terms against the naming of a ticket, while Daniel H. Grady of Portage, and Burt Williams took the opposite view. The principal planks in the platform adopted by the convention favor home rule; amending the constitution so that United States senators may be elected by direct vote, conservation and government control of the natural resources of state and nation; publication of campaign contributions; enactment of stringent corrupt practices act; and denouncing the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. LABOR WATCHING POLITICIANS. Federation to Get Candidates' Stand on Union Question. Washington, July 13.—"I believe the next congress will have a majority of members favorably disposed towards the legislation advocated by organized labor," said Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor in discussing the political program of that body. He said the federation was in touch with every state in the union and in response to requests from local central labor bodies was furnishing information as to the attitude of candidates on labor measures. This record, he said, shows how members of congress who are up for re-election voted on legislation in which labor was interested. New men entering the field are asked how they stand on the propositions and their replies are incorporated in the information furnished the central labor bodies. The voters are appraised of the views of the candidates by the local unions and then, he said, the question as to how their ballots shall be cast is up to the voters. FIGHT ON GRAIN RATE RAISE. Iowa to Send Commissioner to St. Paul Conference. Des Moines, July 13.—The Iowa railroad commissioners voted to send Commissioner Eaton to the conference at St. Paul, July 15 when representatives of Nebraska, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin will take action against the proposed increase by the railroads in grain rates effective Aug. 15. TROLLEY CAR RAMS TRAIN. Eight Passengers May Die As Result Of Head-On Collision. Detroit, July 13.—Eight passengers are believed to have been fatally injured and 64 were cut and bruised when a special car on the Detroit United railway, Detroit-Flint electric line, was split in two by a work train. The collision occurred on a sharp curve. Both the car and work train were running full speed, it is said. ROLL DASHED TO DEATH IN AIRSHIP HERO OF RECENT ENGLISH CHANNEL FLIGHT FALLS TO EARTH IN BIPLANE. HAD CAREER OF DARING FEATS England's First Flying Tournament of Year Brought to Tragic Close. Accident Seen by a Huge Crowd of People. Bournemouth, Eng., July 13.—The first flying tournament of the year in England was brought to a tragic close by the dramatic death of the most daring and popular British aviator, the Hon. Charles S. Rolls, III., son of Lord Llangattock. In the presence of a great company of spectators a majority of whom were women and children and many personal friends of the aviator, the Wright biplane on which he was flying, fell suddenly with terrific speed from a height of 100 feet. It struck the ground close to the crowded grandstand, smashed into a tangled mass, and before the doctors and their associates could reach the spot Rolls was dead. He Was Competing for Prize. Audemars, the Swiss aviator, had a close shave while making a trial flight above the Bournemouth field. His monoplane overturned and descended swiftly to the ground but he escaped without injury. The event in which Rolls was competing was for a prize for the aviator alighting nearest a given mark. The goal was directly in front of the grandstand, where the spectators were massed. He had risen to a good height, then shut off his motor and was gilding in a broad circle toward the mark. Without warning the tall piece of the biplane snapped off. The machine gave a sudden lurch and the framework crumpled up in the air. When it struck the ground it was smashed to splinters. The doctors found that Rolls had sustained a fractured skull. The wreck of the machine and twisted stays surrounded the body so that there was difficulty in extricating him. Immediately after the result of Rolls' accident was known the committee announced that flying would be suspended for the day. Charles Stewart Rolls was 33 years old and was one of the most popular young all-around sportsmen in England. His death will be a great blow to aristocratic sporting enthusiasts, with all of whom he was a great personal favorite. At ballooning, at motoring he had distinguished himself by his utter fearlessness and was satisfied with nothing short of recordbreaking in whatever line of sport he took too. Undoubtedly his crowning feat was his round trip across the channel between Dover and Calais in a Wright biplane, June 1 last. The two Frenchmen, Louis Bleriot and Count de Lesseps, already had crossed the channel, and Hubert Latham had almost succeeded. Channel flying was at a discount in England because it was considered an old story and also because the national pride suffered from the monopoly of it by Frenchmen when Rolls electrified the entire kingdom by doubling the accomplishments of his predecessors. The distance between Dever and Calais is 21 miles, and when Rolls did the round trip of 42 miles in 90 minutes without stopping, his performance was a marvelous one both for distance and time. Rolls was as modest as he was daring and received the congratulations which were showered upon him after his great feat almost with embarrassment. In his youth Rolls was one of the pioneers of motoring in England. He drove a motor car about while the ordinance was still in force that every self-propelled vehicle on the public roads must be preceded by a man carrying a red flag to warn pedestrians. Since 1896 he has been one of the best known motor experts in Europe. In 1900 he won the gold medal in the thousand mile automobile race. He was the representative of Great Britain in the Gordon Bennett race of 1905, and several times made world's records for speed. As a balloonist Rolls has made more than 130 ascensions, crossed the channel several times in balloons and in 1906 by a journey from Paris to Sherbourne and Norfolk gained the French Aero club's medal for the longest balloon journey. Rolls was the third son of Lord Liangottock, and was intended for the diplomatic service but he showed such enthusiasm for science and mechanics that his parents decided it was better to let him follow his own inclinations. Total Wreck Fatalities Now 22. Dayton, Ohio, July 13.—J. J. White, of this city, one of the injured in the Middletown wreck of a Big Four train, died at Miami Valley hospital. White was 42 years old and a liveryman. This makes the number of dead 22. 40 Orphans Are Rescued Nanalimo, B. C., July 13.—The Roman Catholic church and St. Anne's convent were destroyed by fire. Forty orphans in the convent were rescued, but all belongings were destroyed. The loss is placed at $250,000. SCHOOLHOUSE IS DYNAMITED SCARE IN LITTE TOWN AS EXPLOSIONS AWAKE PEOPLE. Minneapolis, July 13.—Two attempts were made to blow up the little frame schoolhouse in the village of Hamel, Medina township, 25 miles from Minneapolis. A saloon war, which has resulted in three attempts to burn the saloon of John Stott within the last 18 months, is thought to be at the bottom of the attempt to destroy the school. Incidentally the affair has brought to light the fact that the board of county commissioners illegally granted licenses to the two Hamel saloons, one for 14 years and the other for two years. Neighborhood is Aroused. At 4 o'clock in the morning the neighborhood was awakened by a loud explosion and upon investigation it was found that kerosene had been poured in the vestibule and a stick of dynamite exploded there. The explosion, however, put out any fire which might have started. Hamel is not an incorporated village and the law requires that the county commissioners grant no license to a saloon which is within 1,500 feet of a schoolhouse. For the past 14 years James Sherldan has conducted a saloon 840 feet from the school without a protest. The saloon of John Stott, 1,119 feet from the school, was first given a license May 25', 1908, and has had a permit ever since, a renewal being granted May 25. Since March 8, 1909, there have been three attempts to burn the Stott saloon. On the night of March 31, William Hamel, who lives near by, saw a man pouring kerosene on the side of the saloon and trying to light it. He gave chase firing three shots over Hamel's head. On April 18, 1909, at 4:30 a. m., another attempt was made to burn the place, and last fall a private detective employed by Stott found a bundle of dry wheat straw and kerosene under the floor. This is still on exhibition as a curio in the place. GLACIERS ROAR OVER ALASKA Monstrous River of Ice Crunch Through Far Northern Valleys. Juneau, Alaska, July 13.—A great glacier in Rainy Hollow, near Hains, Alaska, is moving at the prodigious rate of 12 feet a day. Huge masses of ice are falling with thunderous noise over the precipice at whose brink the glacier discharges. This is a season of glacial advance all over Alaska. Never before has such rapid extension of the ice rivers been known in the history of the world. The theory is that avalanches caused by earthquakes are responsible for the increased flow. The National Geographical society has an expedition in Alaska studying the phenomenon. P. C. KNOX FORGIVES HIS SON. Father Welcomes Him and His Yeung Bride to His Country Home. Providence, R. L, July 13.—Philander C. Knox and his 18-year-old bride have gone to live in his father's country home near Philadelphia. The parental forgiveness which was withheld following his eloment and marriage to Miss May Bowler finally has been granted, owing to the intervention of his mother and brothers. Young Knox has resigned his position as selling agent for an automobile company. His mother-in-law is said to have assured him her cottage always would be open to him. PARDON SOUGHT FOR BANKER. Chicagoan, Charged with Bank Wrecking, Seeks Parole. Springfield, Ill., July 13.—The state board of pardons at the meeting held in this city reconsidered action taken a couple of weeks ago at a meeting held at Joliet and decided to grant a parole to former Judge Abner Smith of Chicago, sentenced to an indeterminate term in Joliet prison for conspiracy to wreck the Bank of America. Morrison Addresses Stage Shifters. Washington, July 13.—The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees of the United States and Canada, in convention here, was addressed at the opening of the session by Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor. Flames Sweep Canadian Town. Winnipeg, Man., July 13.—Stevens & Allan's grocery warehouse and two adjoining warehouses together with six cars loaded with merchandise, four houses and a store at Kamloops, B. C., were detroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $100,000. Post for Willis Cook, North Dakota Washington, July 13.—Willis C. Cook, of North Dakota, has been appointed collector of internal revenue for the district of North and South Dakota, succeeding Herman Ellerman resigned. Engine Crushes Negro Porter. St. Paul, July 13.—Jack Scott, a negro porter employed on the Soo Line, was killed by a Northern Pacific engine in the union depot yards. St. Paul Scot was walking down the tracks to his car when struck. SNOWBALLS Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press James Merchant, "Professor" Merchant his scholars called him, despite his youth, longed to be out of doors. Inside his room in the Latin school it was warm and uncomfortable. The janitor had done his best that day and the radiators were throwing off an unusual amount of heat. Outside the air was cold and clear and the snow, a foot deep, lay sparkling like a jeweled mantle in the afternoon sunshine. When the last class was over Merchant arose with a yawn and began to put on his overcoat. All the boys had rushed out into the snow—all save Walter Beale, a handsome, quick-witted lad of fourteen. "Well, I suppose you are going for a slide this afternoon, Walter?" questioned his teacher pleasantly. "Nope," rejoined the lad. "Going snowballing today, professor," he replied. "There's going to be a snowball battle between the Latin school and No. 33." "You don't say?" queried Marchant, at once interested. "I hope the Latin school drives No. 33 off the field. We beat them in baseball, you know." "That we did," agreed Walter, "but we wouldn't if you hadn't been pitching against Professor Hanson. And we won't beat 'em this time if you don't come along and help us. The boys told me to ask you about it. We certainly do want you, professor, for Professor Hanson is going to lead the No. 33 army." "The boys really do want me, Walter?" asked the teacher, joyfully. "You just bet they do, professor," exclaimed the boy. "They've just got to have you, that's all there is to it!" "Then I'll go," announced Marchant, taking off his overcoat. "Wait till I get my sweater out of the closet." The next moment teacher and scholar joined a throng of boys kicking their way through the snow to an open lot near the school on which two snow forts had been built. The young warriors hailed their teacher with cheers and pressed forward to the "WHY THEY'RE SNOWBALLS" scene of impending battle. Already the forces of No. 33 were on hand, led by their captain, Professor Hanson. "Hello, Hanson," cried Marchant, when he caught sight of the rival leader. "You out for blood again? Remember what we did to you on the diamond last spring?" For answer the cohorts of No. 33 relled defiance at their opponents and scurried out of the fort to gather a fresh supply of missiles. The leaders met and it was agreed that ten minutes should be given for the making and storing up of ammunition. Both sides retired to their ramparts, which were about fifty yards apart, and each boy began to make snowballs as fast as his fingers could work. The sun was shining brightly and the melting snow on top made balls of icy hardness. Pilies of the missiles were stacked up behind each fort, and on signal the battle began. Led by Marchant and Hanson, the boys salienced forth, and in a few seconds the air was full of flying bullets of snow. A large crowd gathered on the adjoining street to witness the contest. Smarting from memories of defeat on the diamond, the boys of No. 33 made a concert rushed on their opponents and drove them, scattered and running, behind their fort of snow. But Marchant called to them to rally and save their ammunition for a charge. Though stung by the shots they had received, they responded to his appeal. Hands and pockets full of snowballs, they rushed bravely on the ramparts of No. 33, waiting until they got within fifty feet before opening fire. When they did fire the effect of their volleys was instantaneous. The battle line of No. 33 weakened and Hanson, the leader, got back of the throng in the rush. "At them, boys! At them!" cried Marchant, running toward his rival general and firing at him with every step. One of Marchant's shots struck with ceiling effect, and Hanson went tumbling over a snowbank. A lusty cheer streed from the Latin school chargers and they rushed up almost to the enemy's fort. Marchant lunged forward, determined to hit his opponent again the moment he staggered to his feet. He drew back his arm, and as Hanson scrambled out of the snow he let go a ball with all his strength. But the ice sphere slipped from his fingers on a tangent and flew straight into the cheering crowd of spectators. There was a scream A young woman fell to the sidewalk Marchant ran forward and instantaneously the battle ended, for some of the boys who had seen the accident knew that it might be serious. Everybody crowded around the prostrate figure and Marchant pushed his way through the throng to behold the silent face of a beautiful young girl, His snowball, which must have been as hard as a base oall, had struck her, All at once Walter Beale burst through the crowd. "She's my sister!" he cried, dropping to his knees over the prostrate figure. "Some of you boys run for a doctor!" While his classmates started in several directions for a physician, a motor car came chugging up through the snow. Marchant acted at once. "Click! Help me lift her in!" he commanded to the several dozen frightened boys around him. Instantly strong young hands lifted the unconscious girl into the automobile before the owner knew what it was all about. Walter Beale leaped in, shouting the number of his home to the man at the wheel. Five minutes later a physician entered the warm room where Ethel Beale lay, still unconscious. He set to work at once, for he realized that the case was serious. Slowly the girl regained her senses. For a night the doctor worked with his patient, and Marchant was beside him most of the time, assisting in every way he could. By the next day Ethel Beale was resting more easily, but the physician gave orders that there most be no excitement around her, and that careful nursing was necessary to her rapid and complete recovery. Day after day Marchant visited the Beale home. He began to look on her as "his" patient. He felt that nothing he could do would make up for the injury he had inflicted by his recklessness. But she assured him that his attention and kindness had amply repaid her for her suffering. Soon Marchant experienced a change of attitude. Instead of being sorry for what he had done he secretly rejoiced. Through the accident he had come to know Ethel Beale. She herself made life seem different to him by gently hinting that ill winds often do blow up beautiful clouds. A month later when Marchant proposed Ethel accepted him. The wedding took place in June. "Come, let me show you the most appropriate present I have received," whispered the bride to her husband shortly after the ceremony. She led him into the reception room and pointed to the large table in the center. "Why, they're snowballs!" he exclaimed. "What a beautiful bunch! Who sent them?" "Who?" she echoed. "Why, who but little brother Walter, of course!" Not Washington's Legs. "Apropos of nothing," as the novelist says, Champ Clark, with his back up against a desk in the house and facing a full-length portrait of Washington, painted by John Vanderlyn, which hangs to the right of the speaker's chair, said: "Sims, do you know that the legs of that picture are not Washington's legs?" Sims, a Tennessee congressman, did not know, Sims doesn't assume to be authority on either art or history—especially the history of Washington's legs. Continued Clark: "Those legs belonged to General Smith of Maryland. Washington didn't have very good legs, so when the artist came to that part of the picture he used General Smith's." The picture shows General Washington in knickerbockers and stockings, with gold buckles on his pumps, as was the fashion of his time. It was the first time the men in the group where Champ Clark was talking had heard that the father of his country ever had to borrow a pair of legs. —Washington Correspondence in St. Louis Star. Trials of Literature The stone age poet, mallet and chisel in hand, was laboriously composing a sonnet, when the business agent of the stonecutters' union happened along. "Let's see your working card, old man," said the agent briskly. "Forsooth!" haughtily exclaimed the litterateur; "why, I'm a poet—not a mechanic." "Well, you have no poetic license to run an open shop," snapped the union man, "so if you don't want your poetry boycotted, you'd better stick to the thinking part of the game and hire a union amanuensis!"—Illustrated Sunday Magazine.

Sheep of Arizona Sheep and Goats of Arizona THE FIELD BEEP GREELING ON NATIONAL FOREST AMOORA KIDS If the wool clip all over the United States should be reduced for the year 1910, as it has been in Arizona, where the clipping is done earlier than in other sections of the country, the market will be high. Arizona had the earliest clip in its history this year. The clip is usually at its height in Salt River valley and in other sections of the territory about the middle of February, where as this year the sheep were all shorn and on their way back to the hills on February 12. The flocks wintered well, but owing to the cold weather the grass on the ranges continued dry, and as a result the quality of the wool was improved, while the output was curtailed. So pronounced was this shortage in the clip that instead of the inflow of several hundred thousand of sheep into the clipping centers of the Salt River valley, the numbers could be counted by the thousands. The clipping began this year about the tenth of January, and by the middle of February was finished at Cave Creek, Marinette, Beardsley, Hot Springs Junction, Congress Junction and Weden. Machines were used at all these clipping centers with the exception of Weden and Congress Junction, where the shearing was done by hand. Shearing in the north was later, but even there far ahead of the usual season. Conditions were about the same in Mohave county, the clipping center for that district being Kingman. In former years it was customary for the sheep men to drive their flocks from Mohave county to the Salt River valley for the lambing and shearing season, using the forest ranges running north and south fororage along the route both north and south. But the new forest regulations now prohibit this use of the government reserves; the sheep men have been unable to get their flocks through, especially through the Verde valley, so that the movement south was abandoned this season. In addition to the restrictions placed upon the forest reserves, the valleys that in former years were green, owing to the cold, dry weather and the consequent lack of rains, this year were not green enough to support the moving flocks. The result of this is that those flocks which were moved south, for lack of grazing in the central Arizona valleys, had to hasten back north, where the lambing proved disastrous, not only to the lambkins but to the ewes as well. For this reason 70 per cent, of the sheep shorn in Arizona for 1910 had the clipping done in Yavapai county, midway between the valley and northern ranges, this being the lowest altitude obtainable where there was the combination of clipping facilities, nearby shipping points and fair ranges. By the same token it is now predicted that the lamb crop for the year will not exceed 40 per cent. of what it should be, or would be under more favorable conditions. The largest shearing point in Yapalaw county this year was at Cordes, where between 130,000 and 140,000 pounds of wool was clipped. The clip at Kingman ran to 60,000 head, and the government reports credit Arizona with an average yield of fleece weighing 6.65 pounds per sheep, which would bring the yield up to more than 300.000 pounds. Owing to the conditions referred to in the foregoing, the clip in the northern part of Arizona will be later than usual this year, because the owners of the flocks prefer to await a late clip rather than risk the loss of the lambs. Prices for wool in Arizona this year ranged around the prices of last year. Agents paid on the ground between 20 and 22 cents for the clip of 20 per cent of the sheep shorn in --- ANDORA KIDS and Goats ona P GREATING ON NATIONAL FOREST the Salt River valley. The buyers that were in the field were representatives of Dewey, Gold & Co., of Boston; Brown & Adams, of Boston, and Salter Brothers, representing various houses in Boston. Workers were scarce, and wages were high. Clippers that formerly received from $15 to $40 per month now receive from $35 to $100 per month, and most of these laborers are Mexicans. Goat raising in Arizona has proved profitable, and this year's prices, paid by the Boston markets, were the highest ever recorded. For kid mohair, R. Edmundson of Yarnell received 50 cents per pound, and this was paid for the grade known as No. 2. This sale was made through the National Mohair Growers' association, organized recently in opposition to the wool combine. The new association has an agency and warehouse in Boston, and lost no time in getting into the Arizona field. The shipment netted Edmundsop. 46 cents a pound after paying transportation charges and association expenses. Not only is the goat proving profitable from the sale of the hair, but recently Arizona goat mutton sold in the Kansas City market for $6.25 the hundred. The territory has many mesas and mountain slopes, which afford a natural habitat for the Angora goat, and the outlook is that this branch of the stock raising in Arizona will continue to grow in importance. Owing to the warm climate in this territory, lambs come into the market at a very early season, which gives the flocks additional advantage over other parts of the country. One shipment of lambs was made from the Salt River farms by J. A. Pitts of Ash Fork, as early as March 14. This consignment consisted of four double carloads of spring lambs, which were sent to Kansas City. This was the first attempt ever made in Arizona to ship the lambs so that they might arrive in Kansas City before Easter. While this shipment was made in the nature of an experiment it proved profitable, and next year it is probable that Arizona lambs will find ready early sale in Kansas City stock yards. The lambs sold were raised on Pitts' farm and fed on hay raised on his farm, instead of leaving the lambkins on the ranges. The shepherds in Arizona have to contend with the wild animals to an extent greater than is necessary in any other part of the country. For protection against coyotes, dogs which are often half-breeds between the collie and the coyote are used with great success. The forest department and the local officers distribute poison to kill off the coyotes and this method has proved effectual in many cases. As an instance of the number of wild animals that have to be guarded against in Arizona it is pointed out that at a recent "hide day" in Tombstone, the capital of Cochise county, which is the most densely populated county in the territory, bounties were paid in one day on 500 pelts of animals of prey. About $3,000 is paid out annually by Cochise county for bounties on the pelts of coyotes, bob cats, wolves, lobos, mountain lions, bears and skunks. It may also be cited that one night recently a lynx got into a corral owned by Charles Sands in the vicinity of Douglas, in Cochise county, and killed 21 goats. The same man reports that altogether 200 goats and kids were killed by lynx and bob cats this season. Pheasant Fights Barnyard Fowls. Farmers in Decatur county who have given over their lands as game preserves are being confronted with a situation that promises to be serious. The Hungarian pheasantsts that were placed in the game preserves are becoming exceedingly tame, and it is no uncommon thing for them to wander into barnyards. On the Charles Throp farm, northeast of this city, an unusually large pheasant seems to have a particular aversion to turkeys. It has destroyed two or three turkey nests and whipped the gobbler of the brood to a frazzle. It is a common sight when a pheasant appears in a barnyard to see a fight between it and chickens, and the pheasant usually wins.

Distinct Revival of These Fabrics Is Noticeable and Entire Rooms Are Furnished With Them. If you rejoice in a grandmother's trunk, lift the lid and bring to the light of day the pieces of old-fashioned chintz or cretonne, for now is the season when a distinct revival of these fabrics is noticeable. If you do not possess the supply left from other years, the upholstery department of any large store will offer a wide choice. For summer the furnishing of entire rooms with chintz or cretonne is inexpensive and gives a delightfully cool and clean appearance. After the general decoration is finished there will be small pieces that certainly should not be consigned to the scrap bag, for many articles used to make the equip- ment of a room or porch complete can be constructed of the odd pieces. For the summer bedroom a little photograph frame to match the curtains or scarf on the bureau is easily constructed from pasteboard covered with chintz. In making paste for chintz or, in fact, any cloth, follow these directions: To one cup of whole wheat flour add a cup of cold water and then two cups of hotting water. Boll the mix- Bride Now Acknowledges Wedding Gifts Immediately Instead of Waiting Until After the Ceremony. It is now customary for a bride to send a note of thanks as soon as she receives a gift instead of waiting until after the wedding and honeymoon to acknowledge it. In this way all but the last minute presents are acknowledged before the wedding, though a person who has waited until the last day to send his gift cannot expect it to be acknowledged till the bride is settled in her new home. Few brides realize the importance of their gift notes. If sent to strangers, as many of them are, the acknowledgment of a present may prejudice the sender for or against the writer. Whether sent spontaneously or merely as a matter of form a gift stands for a kindness; it therefore demands a gracious response, in the first person. Do not gauge your gratitude according to value of gift, or what you deem should have been its value. Often the simple bit of home needlework stands for more love and real interest than the mahogany highboy or massive Sheffield tray. To send gushing thanks for the latter and an indifferent little note for the first is the height of vulgarity. Never write a gift note in third person, nor on your visiting card. The appearance of a note is important. If you have monogramed stationery, use it; if not, get plain Irish linen note paper of nice quality and pay due regard to neatness, margins and legible unblotted writing. The art of graceful expression is a gift, but at least one's notes need not sound as stilted as though a letter form were copied. Be natural, grateful, neither flowery nor gushing, and do not forget to include the name of your fiance in your acknowledgment. Though sent to the bride, and really hers, wedding presents are sent to both. When the sender lives in your town it is customary in your note to tell her you will be glad to have her come in to see your presents. This is particularly thoughtful where there is to be no reception. Besides seeing gifts more leisurely intimate friends enjoy looking at cards, which are always removed before formal display. To Set Color in Wash Fabrics. To set colors in wash fabrics pour one quart of boiling water over 10 cents' worth of powdered alum and stir till the alum is dissolved; then add fifteen quarts of cold water. Into this solution place any dainty colored wash goods in which you desire to "set," or make permanent, the color. Let the material soak in the solution for about an hour, being careful to keep all parts under water. Do not wring the material, but lift from the tub and hang on a line in a shady place to drip and dry. When it is almost dry press on the wrong side with a moderately hot iron. ture for five minutes and add one teaspoonful of alum dissolved in a little water. Place in an uncovered jar after straining through cheesecloth. This lasts ten days. If chintz has invaded your dress—and let the merits of this material be sounded from the housetops—a card-case to match the scarf on your hat can be quickly made over very thin carboard. The summer case is a combination of beauty and usefulness; it can be made of a small square of chintz. Pillows for the porch or cushions for wicker chairs are always acceptable. Larger pieces are required for these, but the combination of chintz with plain colors points a way for the utilization of a limited piece of material. For the umbrella holder chintz again can be used. The funnel shape is cut at home, the curved rounded surface being clasped to the long pointed back by brass clamps. Good galloon or lace is an effective edging for this convenient holder, that need not be hidden from view, but forms a good-looking decoration in a chintz room. The long, wooden hatholder with its round top and base is purchasable at large stores. When covered with chintz, pasted on, it affords another accessory that adds to the good looks of a room. Chintz is sufficiently supple to be turned over various surfaces, while the utilization of little ends endears it to the economical and artistic woman. COSTUME FOR A YOUNG GIRL Simple But Attractive Design in Cream Serge With Russian Coat and Plain Skirt. Cream serge is chosen for this simple costume, which has a plain skirt turned up with a deep hem and stitched twice. The coat is Russian in style: it is 1 cut all in one and drawn in at the waist by material band. The cuffs and collar are faced with material. Hat of straw, swathed with spotted silk. Materials required: Five yards serge 48 inches wide, one-half dozen buttons, four yards silk for lining coat. Edging Collarless Frock. The frills of net, linen and lace are dainty and smart. But they are by no means universally becoming. They have a tendency to make the neck longer and the shoulders narrower. For those who cannot risk this effect, there are various devices. Traceries of braid are effective, set on an edging band to about an inch in width, in running design. A piping of black or of plain color makes a pretty finish. A band of French knots with a suggestion for the embroiderer. There are many combinations and braiding which even the amateur might achieve with a little time and effort.

There are so many of our race in the Twin Cities, who disapprove of this effort and condemn our action, but we can only say that "you dare not tell us so." and proceed onward. I am sure that there is a "smattering element" of this community, whose efforts have been to "kill this sheet." They have said and done things, which were after all only "KNOCKS" which were better than their "BOOSTS." The colored people of the Twin Cities" are to be commended for their conduct before the Jeffries-Johnson fight—and for their actions since the battle, which has proven that they knew what was coming. We didn't have any "killings" or "lynchings" here. But could have had a few, (caused by that class of both races, who are the exceptions), but the fair-minded citizens of our city, took the affair good naturedly. Along Washington Avenue there were large crowds of white people who seemed to be enjoying the sight of "the Johnson followers in their merriment" and a colored man was never in danger. There are times when we may cause a riot by giving heed to some sarcastic remark from one of the other race, and by arguments lead on toights, etc. The better policy is to resent insults, (and every reference to Johnson is not intended as such) then and there, either by word or blows, but do not have "OPEN AIR ARGUMENTS" or "Jack Johnson Lectures" in public places or conveyances. You can't inform anybody how it happened. They have read and they have seen the photos of the fight. The people of the Twin Cities are on record for their conduct, during this clamor, and they cannot be placed on the list of cities where riot reigned, and law and order was disregarded. Why was it? Well, they won on Johnson—and John A. Johnson's name looks good in these parts. You know why. Educators' Head Sees No Reason in Such a Fuse. Chicago, July 12—An "expurgated" copy of the Jeffries-Johnson fight films is the solution to the agitation against the pictures, suggested today by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of Chicago schools, who was elected president of the National Educational association at its Boston convention. "Theodore Roosevelt has been considered a good judge of sport," said Mrs. Young, "and he approves of boxing as a many exercise. I do not see why I should object to the Jeffries-Johnson pictures, and I do not think there is any reason for all the stir that has been raised against them. I think, of course, that the objectionable features of the pictures should be removed, but I understand that is usually done with fight pictures anyway." The District Attorney of Hennepin County has made a record of his own. We are waiting for another. He does not want the fight pictures exhibited, on this account "he does not want to show a "Nigger beating a white man." WELL, WELL, WELL! How did you do it? You are an aspirant for some place higher up. (You don't know because you'll take what they give you) but Don't you forget that the Negroes are against you, and also you have lost some of your white friends. You are a good specimen of ( right and justice—miscarried). Such as you deserves to be entirely "Cut Out" by your party and all sound thinking citizens. Is it a fact that you have been always beaten by our Negro lawyers, and especially one, of whom you probably were thinking of when you made this utterance. Away with him. Special Notice.

It has been asked by many of those interested in the political outlook "Why didn't you do this, or that, etc., and they think that a column or so, of my ideas are "directly necessary to make the paper interesting." Well, I have none, only a stock of "Food for thought" and "Cause for action" when the time comes. Our people tire of constant training and "issues" as discussed along these lines become monotonous. So we shall "catch the rabbit in his bed. Why, there's no use writing' history—its expensive, and they want you when they want your vote, and they do not care much about either at any time. These columns are open for the "alring of all race affairs" and most of our writers have their "Political regrets." And its up to you—I want to be a medium of news—and I have no respect for that class of any white citizens, who only cares for a Negro "because he runs a little paper or a club, or a dive, in fact, only wants your support and he demands that through his prepaid petty pittances." Well—the result is that they can always command and abuse you—I will tell the colored people of Minneapolis, WHO IS WHO AND WHY—It may be "with" the foolish rush or angelic tread, but it will suffice.
