Bathing ON tho Eeacl, at Newport.


The creme de la creme are at Newport.
The nobility have established new
bathing place called Bailey's beach. at
the end of Bellevue avenue, in the heart
of the ruillionaires' quarter. 1t is only
about 800 yards in length, but that small
space the cottagers think they can hold
against the assaults of the common herd
No buses or horse cars are allowed to
land passengers there during the morn
ing hours. A bathing house has been
built, with granite portico. In this are
little retreats 9 feet by II. each of which
bears the initials of the gentleman who
owns it. A stranger could no more buy
OF hire one Of these bathing houses than
he could engage Il front seat in the bal
cony of heaven. Fifteen of the houses
bolong to the Vanderbilt family; others
TO the Astors, the Stuyvesant Fishes
the De Forests and their clan.
The hours for bathing are from II in
the morning until l. At II three guards
make their appearance; one patrols the
beach: two others in lieboat cruise 100
yards out. 1t is their business to rescue
eN AAAAieIs WHO run d;I1lSer OF drowning.
Three young ladies, Miss Clews and the
two Misses Pierson. put their patience
sorely to the test. When Miss Clews'
head appears, the guards take out their
oars as u matter of course and head for
the open sea. When the bathing begins,
if stranger makes his appearance or
the beach, men and matrons follow him
with such sad. rcproachful glances that
he wonders what he has done now and
sneaks out Of the sacred preserve in a
demon allied condition. San Franz

Life Guns For Firemen.

Had the fire department been equipped
with apparatus for throwing ropes to
great heights or distances, such as are
carried by sll life saving stations, many
lives could have been saved from the
flames at the cold storage fire. Every
man who escaped alive did SO by finn
sy rope. With a proper gun or cannon
a rope or numbers Of them could have
been shot up over the tower and made
fast by the imprisoned men. The ropes
can be rendered nonco1nbustible. No
new or expensive machinery would be
required. At the life saving station at
jackson park could have been found
huge guns with endless coils of lifeline
attached. The guns fire heavy spear,
which carries the lifeline out to wrecks,
helpless boats and drowning men. TWEEN.
ty such lifelines could have been fred uu
and over the burning tower. Every shot
of the gun would have saved the life of
a brave fireman.
With the high buildings in the busi.
ness center such apparatus would be
most valuable and could be carried Oh
every hose cart individuals imprisoned
in the tenth story, cut off from all es4
cape, could be saved. A lance could be
shot into the window and the rope made
fast. Nothing would be easier. If the
gun, the lance and the rope are good to
save lives at sea, why not use freproof
ropes to save men from death by fire?-

An Indian Owns the Town,

Bonner's Ferry is puzzled. The citizens
don't know whether they are at home or
on Indian land. Until few days ago
they were not worried about Indian
claims, but at present these form very
lively topic for discussion.
The trouble was started by the an
nounce,nent that the government had
allotted 10 tracts of land to the 10 heirs
Of old Dick Fry. the pioneer settler at
the ferry, who married squaw. The 10
allotrlents aggregate $50 acres, and one
tract OF 40 acres, claimed by Arthur Fry,
includes the original town site. This has
been iidiferently known as Fry's post
Office and Eonner's Ferry. It includes the
hotel. the postoffice. number of stores
and many residences. Altogether it is
claimed to be the most valuable part of
the town site.
The people of Bonner's Ferry do not
know what to do. Some of them think
the title can be overthrown. Others are
inclined to think the Indians title indie
fensible and attempt compromise. The
fact that if this title is sound he will not
be able to dispose of the land for quar-
ter Of century adds perple1ity to the
case, although attorneys say there may
be ways to 1e1nove that dificulty.-Spo-
kane Chronicle.

Readiness to Help Germany.

We are happy to give assurance to
Germany that we shall be pleased to sup
ply her with all the breadstuffs she may
need this year. We shall ask only fair
price for them. We can also supply her
with other kinds of agricultural prod
ucts. quantities of them. We have some
Indian meal to spare, and it can be fed
to the army horses. as the kaiser has
ordered. We have yet some hay left.
If Germany needs fruits or wines, we
have them for sale. We can supply her
with the best pork and bacon in the
world, besides other meats, fresh or salt,
in cold storage or otherwise. This is the
market to which Germany ought to
come whenever she needs anything,
whatever it may be.
We must trust that Russia will not
feel badly because we stand ready to-
supply Germany with food for man and
beast. We stand thus ready at this time
and nearly always. When once the Ger
man people and their cattle get accus-
toned to American products, we are
sure that it will be hard to induce them
to feed upon anything else.-New York

Several Candidates For Governor

DEs MONIES, Ia. Aug 23.-The
Democrats are assembling for the state
convention. Lieutenant Governor
Eestow has practically the support of
Southern Iowa for governor, but is op-
posed by the old time leaders. Ex-
treme Southeastern Iowa is in favor Of
Craig OF keokuk. and the extreme
northwestern favor Larimer, who is a
new man in state politics. Among the
new men mentioned are w. T. Bu-
chanan, connected with the agricul-
tural department OF the state fair.
Free silver men favor Fred White, ex-
congressman, while anti-monopoly
leaders fav.r Bsstow. These factions
will probably unite. Very probably
resolution endorsing Governor Boies as
the choice Of the party for senator will
be passed. but further than that it is
not believed Governor Boies will come
before the convention.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 23.-Telegrams
received here show that the threats
made by Pre dent Walters of the coal
miners union, to prevent miners going
to work at Frontenac, in the Atch: son,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad com.
pany's mines. were not idle. At meet
ing held in Frontenac Sunday he said
that the Strikers should not carry out
the contract made with the company
until it has been sanctioned by the
union. He declared then that he would
bring 1900 men to Frontenac to drive
all persons from the mines The first
company of the 1900 men, 50 in num-
Der, arrived at Frontenac Monday
night and went into camp at the mines.
At 8 q. m. 300 more of Walters men
arrived from Weir City and Pit;sburg
and went into camp. The manager of
the mine called on the sheriff of Craw-
ford county, who deputizc,, is many
merchants and profe fessional men IS he
could find before day break, and started
for the scene of the threatened battle.
Guns were telegraphed for to all
of the neighboring towns by Man
ager Wis IN. who is in charge
of the S,nta Fe mines, and every pos
s:ble preparation was made to protect
miners who desire to resume work.
The sheriff is handicapped in getting
men sufficient to cope with Walters
crowd, and if the threatened clash
should come he will be compelled to
ask the governor for the militia.
Thirty men went to work in the mines
at 6 o'clock, but the presenceo Of Walters
and his crowd prevented large major
ity signing 1hs agreement. Two hum
dred were ready to go into the pits, but
they were prevented from doing so by
Walters and his mob.
The company will resist with all the
force that it is able TO muster any at.
tempt on the part of the strikers 10
move upon the company's property,
and unless Walters backs down from
his present warlike attitude bloodshed
will certainly result.
