Woman Shonld Learn TO SWIM.

1t Is not too much % say that those
who spend a great part OF their time on
the water ought - feel under an actual
obligation 10 learn 10 swim Not every
one is strong enough u Keep IL up FOR

Cuers could reach them. lachtSmen, as

women who accompany them are not.
This places more responsibility upon the
men. In case Of accident they must RISK
their lives I'm making exertOns 10 save
those who might just a. well save them
selves. A wel-known authority on the
subject says that women can learn the
art Of swimming much more easily IMAM
can men. II that be true then there Is
still less excuse for them although II
should be said. on the other side, that
they probably often do not nave 80 many
opportunities FOR learning.
The suggestion has been made that
swimming in a bathing suit and IN one
ordinary clothes are two entirely different
things. and that the ability 10 DO the
former does not insure success in the
latter. Ii might be- interesting for wO-

Secretary Gresham Asked for "a Govern
ment ship {" Send supplies There


WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Secretary
Gresham has received the application
from the Christian Herald, of New YORK,
referred TO In the morning dispatches Tor
a Government ship TO transport LUZ bar
rels of -four TO Corea. This Is the first
notice the department has had that any
unusual measure Of distress ana deprlNa-
ton exists in the hermit Kingdom. As
suming that il is true, the officials do not
see how 50 small a quantity OF gram
which the Coreans scarcely know how 10
use. will be of much avail In population
of about 100000 people. To somplicate
the situation, IL is said that the Chinese
and Japanese soldiers now occupy Corea,
and are generally living on the country,
so that any supplies sent 10 the people
might finally fail into the hands OF Inc
foreign sOldlery.
Secretary Gresham has not yet disposed
of the application, and II Will certainly be
difficult TO comply with. The only war
vessel ready for service AT san Francisco
Is the Charleston, and vessels OF her class
are not adapted 10 the carriage OF freight
