It's SO long since we've talked under
wear, that somebody must have for
gotten our hObby-titting.
It's queer hobby; it ought to be a
matter of course. But. if we took it as
a matter of course and said nothing
about it, you'd think that ours didn't
fit-like most other furnishers'.
Here's the fact: our underwear is
like other good underwear-eXce
that it fits most everybody exactly.

 The buildings on the fair grounds but a few rods away arc demolished.
 In Great Oak township, five miles southwest, tho storm was very severe. Many buildings arc reported to have been blown down, but owing to tho confusion that prevails 1t is impossible to obtain re- liable reports. In this city the storm was severe, but no serious damage was done.

Commanders of Four Chinese warshIps
 Shot at the Battle of YaIu Bay.
 SHANGHAI, Sept. 22.-Thero was a most serious loss of Chinese officers in tho bat tie of the Yalu. In addition to those who perished in the Chih Yuen the captains of four men of war which have reached Port Arthur arc reported to have been killed while fighting their ships.
 Admiral Ting dirccted the operations of the Chinese fleet with great coolnoss He was twice wounded-the first time on the cheek by fragment of shell and then in the leg. His wounds were dressed on deck.
 It has been consistently rumOrcd that three other transports were either sunk or captured by the Japanese, but this is mere hearsay.
 Tho officers of tho Chinese northern squadron, now at Pert Arthur insist that at least three Japanese warships wero sunk in the battle. They also assert that it was not the Japanese cruiser Yoshino, but a smaller vessel--the Hi Yei-which was damaged and rendered hOrs de com bat.
 It is now generally admitted th..t not n single Chinese hattlcShip escaped without considerable damage The Chinese au- thorities expect to hear of another battle in Korea shortly.
 A Tokyo dispatch says that all mes sages over tho Japanese field telCGrnphs to Fusan, except official dispatches have again been stopped. This indicates that important movements arc developing.
 The emperor of Japan has telcgraphcd his congratulations to the admiral and tho officers and men of the fleet for the victory they have won and also to Field Marshal Gamagata and General \odZu for the Ping Yang victory.

The Noted Prima Donna Expires After .
 Long Illnexs-


 wARRENvILIE, N. J., Sept 2a.-Mme Furseh- Madi, the noted prima donna. died hero after m illness of several months.
 She had como here to rest and to be treated for ier trouble-cancer of the stomach. But the change did little good, and she sank gradually For three months she had been confined to her room, and while the end was to a certain degree sudden 1t had been expected.
 Mme Fursch- Madi was born in Bay onne, a smap town on the French Span ish frontier. Her parents wore Alsatians and from them she inherited that musical talent which afterward gave her world wide fame. Her father, mindful of her natural gifts, sent her at an early age to the Paris oonservatolre, where she devel- opcd that marvellous soprano voice which has made her name so we'll known.
 She was engaged by Pasdeloup, the great symphunist, to sing with his orches- tra, and afterward she appeared in regu- lar grand opera. Her triumphs in Rob ert le Diable, Les Huguenots " "Frei- schuetz'' and kindred works are matters of musical history.
 In 1889 she came to this country deco rated with the purple ribbon of an officer of the National Academy of Frnncs-ar, honor seldom conferred upon n woman. She was made directress of the American School of Opera of which Mrs Thurber, Mrs. August Belmont and Andrew Car. negie were the main promoters. The ven turo was not q success, and Mime. Fursch- Madi had u years litigation for her an nual salary of $l0,O00.
 In 1891 Mime. Fursch- Madi appeared in grand opera in Philadelphia, New York and othe: Slarge American cities She achieved conspicuous success every place .frtra ha of hot tf, tour she hsis been teaching in New York college of music.

FertIlixinr With Sugar.

There is n diversity of opinion as to the land most suited to the cultivation of melons. Sandy. light soil. very highly fertilized with phosphate and with salt. will produce an abundant crop of large. fine melons. but there are many plant CTS who affirm that they should be planted on a good quality of soil with out fertilizers of any kind, as the artifi- cial ingredients contained in the ferti- lizers detract from the native sweetness of the fruit. They also claim that the highly fertilized vines bear all their fruit about the same time. making a short season, while vines planted in un- fertilized soil will bear gradually one melon after another, affording fresh fruit for . long period, even until it is so late in October that tho first frosss have killed the vines An old planter of ancient days, fond of experimenting. fertilized the soil in which he planted his melon seeds with quantities of sug- ar, producing Q most satisfactory result, the melons being of unusual size md sweetness. That was done in days when expense was no obicct.-SOuth Carolina Cor Philadelphia Times
