The Passing Rage For Gliding.

A bottle of gliding in the hand of
vogue is more dangerous than the proven
bal pot of paint in the hand of wom-
an. The latter daubs every available
useful article within reach in the name
of freshness.
But fashion smears as copiously, and
this in the name of high art. We have
watched with shudder prim New Eng
land splint bottomed chairs brought
from the attic to be dressed in coat of
imitation gold. We have seen all sorts
of incongru ous articles, including roll
ing pins and potato mashers, filing their
plebeian pores with this outward and
visible sign of the Keeley cure. And
now the depths are literally sounded
fishers nets are dragged from the sea
and gilded.
Not that all cheap effects are mean any
more than all mean effects are cheap.
The gliding Only adds to the expense of
fish netting, which is really popular with
artistic folks ''in its natural state' be-
cause of lis soft gray coloring and its in
clination to hang gracefully. It is o
charming acquisition to the list Of mex
pensive drsperies.-New York Times.

VALETTA, July 18.-Csptain Boufke
this morning resumed the stand in the
court-martial resulting from the sinking
of the British battleship Victoria, off
Tripoli, Syria. Bourke testified that he
became aware yf danger Of collision
almost ne soon as the Victoria began to
turn. Admiral Tryon had consulted
nobody about the maneuvres. 1t has
been custo mary to use 30 degree helm,
but Tryon changed it to % degrees.
Lord Clifford, the flag lieutenant Of
the squadron, testified that after the
collision Admiral Tryon said to him !:
1T we q all my fault"
Sta'f Commander Hawkins-Smith also
gave evidence showing that Vice
Adr Airal Tryon took upon himself the
res possibility for the disaster. The staff
co mmander said Immediately after the

ing suggestions concerning the signals
for the fatal maneuvers. He replied
that the admiral's answers were rather
short and sharp. He knew that the ad-
miral considered the Victoria bad flag
ship.
Bourke considered the maneuver an
unprecedented one when ordered. He
never had to do it before.
Flag Lieutenant Guilford said the
admiral, in making the order for the
signal, gave him q slip of paper on
which was written only the figure six,
and communicated the rest of the in
structions orally. This, he added, was
rather unusual.
staff Commander, Hawkins-Smith
thought the figure six, indicating the
number of cable lengths, was in the
admlral's handwriting, and added that
he (Hawkins-Smith) was not invited to
give any advice in the matter of the

The writer heard Wendell Phillips
once on the nobility Of the North Ameri
can Indians, and while the spell of the
speech lasted he was almost ashamed OF
himself for being white instead Of cop
per colored. One secret of the power of
Phillips with an audience was that he
was always definite, certain in his state
ments and position. If he had privately
doubts about course or a policy, he
never exhibited them when on the plat
form. He very well knew that there is
nothing an audience likes SO little in a
speaker as indecision and beating about

Sealing Men Do Not Believe the Alex
andria Disabled the Mohican.
SAN FRANcIsco, July 1S.-The news
Of the disabling of the warship Mohican
by a sealer in the Bering sea, is ques-
toned by sealing men here. Daniel
Ross Of Ross & Hewlett, the firm that
fitted out the Alexandria, said that if
the Mohican was fred into it was by
some other vessel than the Alexandra.
On June 1st the Alexandria was in
Hakodate, Japan, while the, battle with
the Mohican is said to have occurred
May 25th. The Alexandria sailed from
here in April, and had no cannon on
board. From here she went to Homo
lulu, and thence to the Japan sea, where
she has been ever since. 1t is probable
that the Mohican mistook Russian
gunboat for a poacher, and when she
fred across her bows, got shot in re-
turn.
