SEVEN WISE MEN.

The peculiar action Of the Lincoln
Town Council anent the highway funds
continues to bea fruitful theme for dis
cussion, and many laugh INDUCED in
at the ridiculous manner in which that
body stands at present.
According TO Mondays vote the
money is supposed TO be divided by
voting districts, while the vote taken u
week previous that the money should
be expended under the order and juris
diction of the entire Council is yot on
the records unrepealed and no attempt
is made 10 do so
II is only another illustration of the
blundering capacity of the seven wise
men" OF the town, or rather the long
haired man of the place who seems to
boss them One vote has the same
force az the other and is Just as bind
ing, and any person aggrioved 10y any
expenditure under the last vote will
have great chance to make trouble.
Another thing which cropped out at
Mondays meeting, owing TO the indis-
cretion Of Councilman Jordan, was the
fact that in the matter of High street
they have allowed themselves TO be
overreached by the willy ex-senator
Jonathan Chace. They allowed them
selves to be drawn into controversy.
and now he has prolonged it to such an
extent that the sewer contractor must
have on outlet one way or the other, or
IA suit will be on their hands. II they
delay, Mr. Chace will sue so that prac-
tically the only way TO avoid suit is 10
accept his very costly terms.
This is another illustration Of the inn.
practical methods of the Lincoln Couu-
ell for doing public business.

GEIIlNG FRIENDLY AGAIN.

The assassination Of President Carnot
has had two results which were quite
unexpected and both of which promote
the chances Of continued peace. One
is the decided reconciliation Of France
and Italy, effected by the determined
efTorts Of the latter country, even in
face Of the mad hostility which the
French felt whom they first learned
that the Presidents murderer is an
Italian.
The other result IL vast improve
ment in French friendliness toward
Germany, caused by the young Empe-
ror's warm sympathy for Frances loss
and by his liberation Of the French Of
fcers who were held prisoners as mill
tary spies These kindly acts all keep
grim vi saged war at distance.

Changed Dresses at the Races.

The fashionable women of England,
it would seem, have plenty Of time to
think of dress. AT Ascot recently there
was heavy downpour of rain one day,
and some of the ladies, thinking, doubt
less, that the bad weather would con-
tinue, started the next day in cloth and
serge costumes, but when they reached
tho race track, behold, the sun was shin
ing, and there was not cloud in the
sky. So, with commendable prompti-
tude, they telegraphed home for the re-
luctantly surrendered gowns of the
morning and soon emerged like SO many
butterflies from so many chrysalides.
Some exquisite toilets were seen. The
Princess Of Wales was costumed in
black. She wore q cream lace ruff round
her throat. During tho drive she had on
very becoming slate colored cape. Tne
Princess Beatrice of Battenberg's Co.'S
tune was of soft cream material strap
ped over the shoulder with deep red
bands. The Princesses Victoria and
Maud of Wales were dressed alike in
palest cream, trimmed with blue; bon
nets TO match. The Duchess of Sake
Coburg- Gotha's gown was Of dark steel
blue silk, with a running pattern Of
pinky sprays.

ican visitors present, all gorgeously ar

Hints to Women Bathers.

Do not place too much trust in but.
tons and strings. Re-enforce all fasten-
ings by safety pins. You will enjoy
your bath much better If not oppressed
by conviction ssiat when you leave the
briny deep for the beach your stockings
will be O wad of wet cloth around your
ankles.
When the eventful moment arrives
when you arc ready to open the door of
your bathhouae and appear before crit
ical company, you will probably be seized
with distaste for your costume. You
will long, quite absurdly, but neverthe-
less strongly, for long skirts and sleeves
Remember at such crucial periods that
matters will not be improved by delay,
and that the best place in which to hide
your abbreviated draperies is in the wa
ter, not III front of tho bathhouse door.
Brown locks or golden done up in
coqu0ttish knots are pleasantor to look
upon than oilskin caps. But salt water
plays havoc with coquettish knots. Un-
less you are prepared to follow every
sea bath by shampooing period of
greater or less length, cover your crown
ing glory with an unpicturesque cap.
The woman who is learning to
SWIM is the recipient Of much more at
tention than she who knows how to
swim. If the society and advice of men
arc dear to you even in the vast deep,
never quite master the gentle art Of
swimming, but always be about to mas
ter it.
Don't venture beyond your depth and
allow yourself to be rescued more than
once or twice during the season. It's
romantic, of course, but even roman
tic thing can be done often enough to
become merely monotonous.
Don't show your love Of the water by
staying in very long. 1t is pleasant
thing to talk about, one's love of the
water, but to display it by remaining in
for over 30 minutes merely makes one's
lips blue and ones complexion mottled.
Do not promenade the beach or lie in
the sand after your bath. You have seen
chickens and other animals whose nat
ural element is not water after drench-
ing shower. BE warned by these hum
BILE members Of creation and betake
yourselves directly from the waves to
the dressing room. New York World.
