 very often for pretty tennis suits, and it is
 especially suitable for that, being so much lighter and moro flexible than duck or

 Some very neat and stylish dresses are
 seen on tho promcnadcs. Ono in particu- | lar I noticed.

The collar was of deep navy | blue silk with a hand of white satin ribbon l laid flat upon it. There was n dainty pale | bluo Japanese Crapo fold inside the col

 There was a dressy carriage and walking | gown of drab plaid taffcta, whcro the plaids were formed by two pale green lines, crossed by single lines of deep gar

In response to my challenge learn that Jack McAulitfc says that he will meet me for the lightweight championship of the world for a suitable purse and side stakes, and propose to hold him to his word. am perfectly willing after my battle with Bob F.tzsimmOns' protege, Jimmy Han dler, in September, to meet McAuliffe at the fistic carnival to be held in Dallas in November next.

and there, and an imaginary cast. There followed other lists of characters, with other names, Tom altered to Harry, for example, and Helen changed to Kate, and other imaginary casts. Next came stray scraps of isolated dialogue and stray hints for individual scenes, and brief memoranda concerning them, such as: IN. B.-A very strong situation this. Must work up to it very careful ly." "Mem.-This must play not less than seven minutes. " "Query.-Is this curtain oriSinal?" And that was all The other sheets were blank, or, at the most, only stained with whisky.
 ''There must be some mistake," St. John Bourne exclaimed. "There is no play here, Ericsson.
 Then he addressed the landlady, who was still waiting in the room.
 "Are you quito sure, Mrs. Saunders, that you have shown me all of MT Nor- man Voules' papers?'
 Certainly, Mir. Bourne. The gentle man locked them up himself the very day he was took i'll, and nobody has had the chance to touch them since, not even Saunders, though he did ask where the key was, always being an inquisitive man, but wouldn't t tell him.
 There was no reason to doubt her word, but he continued:
 ''I will ask you further question, Mrs. Saunders. Were you aware of tho nature of tho documents which MT. Voules kept in that desk:"
 "Oh, LOT, yes, sir. Everybody knew. It was the play MT. Voules was writing. hn Mr &r talk to me about it when I was getting out his whisky for him at nights when he came home. Mrs. Saunders, he used to say to me, 'one of the characters in my play is respectable married woman of the lower middle class. What do you think would be good name to give her? Your own name, now, is rather good one. How would it be if I were to call her Elizabeth Saunders? Or do you think Jano Saunders would be better?'" "
 So she rattled on until she found that they had ceased to listen, being satisfied by the circumstantial evidence of the truth of what she said.
 Bourne gathered up the papers and re- placed them in the desk, smiling hol- low, sickly smile.
 "We shall have to put on something elso for JesSie's benefit, ho said "Poor fellow It seems the drink had destroy cd his genius long before it destroyed his life. y
 But Ralph Ericsson would not have it so. His mind travelled back to that even ing six months before, when Norman Voules had sat with him ill his cham 5ers and sketched the outline of the wonderful fabric that his brain was building up. Brilliant snatches of dia- logue and startling pictures of powerful dramatic scenes darted back into his memory and dwelt there. His faith in the man of genius remained unshaken even under this last ordeal.
 "No, no, he faltered. ''I cant let you say that. The genius was always there. He hadn written his play out, it seems, and the world will never know anything about it. But it was work of genius all the st1le ''--Francis Gribble .n London Sun.

 only mention these facts to show that l am entitled to first consideration at Me- Auliffe's hands. As he took other men in his dragnet, will do the same. After my battles with Handler and McAuliffe or in the interim I will be only too glad to meet the following champions upon these terms: will fight George Dixon any number of rounds at 130 pounds. I will also take on Tom O'Rourkes other fblack wonder" Joe Walcott, at 133 pounds, and Young Griffo at any weight. O'Rourke is willing to back Walcott for $5, GOO against Steve O'Donnell, Jim Corbett's sparring partner, Q heavyweight, now matched with Peter Maher of Ireland, and he should not be afraid to pit his miniature Hercules against me. Young Griffo has gone up against middleweights like Dan Creedon, and he should not be timorous about fighting off our draw. George Dixon fought Griffo to a draw twice when the latter weighed 140 pounds. He should not be fearful about meeting me at ton pounds less weight.
 Should fortune favor me in my battles with Handler, McAuliffe and any of the rest of the boys have thus challenged will cross the water and fight Arthur Val entinc, the present champion lightweight of England, or any other man who may be champion at that time.

 WAsHINGToN, Aug. 6.-Joseph c. S Blackbur of Kentucky, now officially known as senator, ever since boyhood days called captain, and always known to his admirers and intimates as Joe, has been doing things all his life that have made folks talk. Just at present. his course upon the silver question is particularly provoca- tive of comment and conversation. Some there are who indorse his course enthusi- astically, and some there are who decry it with emphasis. But now, as always, every body who knows him likes him, and dis. patch concerning his latest speech is rare ly read without provoking the recital of some story about him.
 He is q genuine Kentuckian in every thing implied by that term, but it cannot be said that he has never found anything more to his liking than the sometimes dull if eminently dignifed job of being senator. He is not n student of books. He studies men closely, however, and he gets most of his views and opinions from talks with his fellows rather than from perusal of ponderous tonnes. Once when he was rallied upon his lack of studiousness he said he carried his working library in his

 NEW YORK, Aug. eff you want to see pretty dresses with pretty women inside of them, you should go "down Newport way" and you will find them. Thero are special gowns for special needs, and all arc perfect after their kind. Life is so active in New port that one rather looks first to sec the gowns worn by the indefatigable girls who go in for all the athletics.
 The first one to be noticed was a yacht ing gown of cream white drilling, just such as is used for large sacks of flour. It was firm and solid and made a handsome dress. This particular ono was made with full skirt, with two inch band of blue jeans around tho bottom. There was a narrow line of blCo soutache above it, which gave an added emphasis. The waist was beltleSs sailor blouse of the same stuff, trimmed at the top with band and braid and q narrow upright dinity ruffle. The jacket was as jaunty as it was pretty. It was of the samo drilling, the wide rev CTS and collar trimmed like the bottom of the skirt. The sleeves had tho same finish. Thero was little bow in front of the blouse which gave proper shipshape to the whole suit.
