The Evening Star OF Washington pre-
I tends 20 know what is gong Oh in the
/ inner circles az the popuhst headquarters
in that city. Il says that the popuiist
leaders are looking forward with pro-
found interest 10 the Maine election.
which occurs early next month They ex-
pect the republicans viii carry IL by a
much larger majority than al the last
state election. II they do. the popullsts
viii be pleased, because It will enable
them 20 say that Mr.. Sewall adds moth
ing 10 the strength Of the ticket. and TO
insist that he shall retire. and that Mr..
Watson shall be named in his place.
II the democrats decline to take any
steps towards substituting Mr.. Watson
for Mr. sewau on the showing made in
Maine they viii wait until after the Octo-
Der election IN this state. They say they
are confident Of carrying Georgia. and
II they do they will point 20 the fact as
an evidence Of Mr.. Watson's strength.
and again demand that Mr.. Watson's
name be substituted for that Of Mr. Sew
all on the democratic ticket. The Even
ing Star does not say what the populists
will do II the democrats refuse to take
any action on their appeals in behalf of
Watson.
1t does not seem as II much reliance
should be placed on the Evening stars
story. for the reason that the populist
leaders must be convinced by this time
that there is no probability that Mr.
Sewall will be asked TO retire in Mr.. Wat
sons favor. It is all nonsense to say
that Mr. Watson would bring more
strength TO the ticket than Mr. Sewan
does. Mr. Watson is popular with the
popuhsts, but not with the democrats.
Bryan and Sewall are going to get the
populist vote in the states in which they
need ii whatever the course may be
which Mr.. Watson pursues. Therefore,
nothing would be gained by retiring Mr..
Sewall and putting Mr.. Watson in his
place. But If Mr.. Watson should be put
into Mr. Sewalrs place the number of
democratic votes which the ticket would
lose would be immense.
The talk about the populists carrying
this state is nonsense. They will not
come anywhere near carrying it. It is
safe to predict that the democratic ma
jorty will be larger than it was two
years ago.

Yes. sir; they have the greatest timber
on earth up in Humboldt county, ex-

you an idea, now, they cut down one tree
up there that made enough lumber. pick
cts and shingles TO build a whole town

The butt of the tree was hollow, too,
for about fifty feet, and as it fell right
square across a deep gulch they used IL for

through 1t. That tree was so tall that
when they commenced cutting it up they
had TO make TWO camps-one at each end

The ATHLETIC Girl.

From Munsey's Magazine.
With her golfing cap tilted and her golfng
costume killed,
All her lovers she has Tilted and for
sworn;
She no more of dancing thinks, and no
soda water drinks,
But is found upon the links both night
and morn.
She has tried her hand at boating and at
diving, and at floating,
Almost everything but voting she con-
trolls;
She's been salmon fishing, ceiling, and of
course is skilled at wheeling,
And has contemplated sealing at the
poles.
She's a devotee of walking, and is over
fond of talking
OF the hours she's spent in stalking af-
ter deer;
Has a love of speedy racing. knows what
trotting is, and pacing,
Little bets is even placing far and near
She is very good at curling, loves to prac-
tice hammer hurting,
And her wrist is trained to whirling
with a foil;
You'd pronounce her fanatic at diver
sions acrobauc,
And all types of sport aquatic are her
spoil.
She has more than often prated of the dis
tances she's skated;
She tells how yachts are rated, like a
salt;
She can pass a ball or kick it. or go bowl
ing at a wicket,
For she knows the game Of cricket to
a fault.
She can ride like any jockey, she has
beaten men at hockey,
And is most uncommon "cocky' to have
wOn
And she knows the language mystic OF
the circles pugilistic,
For a bit of training fistic she has DONE
Billiards, pool, and otter hunting, golf,
canoeing. padding, punting.
Moose and mountain sheep confronting
and croquet,
Shuttlecock and battledooring, on the
rifle ranges scoring,
Sailing yacht or catboat caring on the
bay;
Running, jumping, and natation, naviga,
ton. ambulation,
SO she seeks for recreation in a whirl;
She's a highly energetic understandable,
magnetic.
Perlpatetic and athletic kind Of girl!

lived on the banks of a broad river. His
father, in his parting instructions, placed
one restriction upon the boys amuse-
ments during his visit.
Il don't want you to go out in your
cousins canoe" he said firmly. They are
used to the water, hut you are not, and
you haven't learned to sit still anywhere
as yet. You'll be there only a week, and
with all the other amusements the boys
have. and the horses and dogs, you can
afford to let the canoe alone for this time.

the while you're away"
The boy readily gave the desired prom
Use. on his return he was enthusiastic
over the pleasures he had enjoyed.
And / didn't mind canoeing a bit pa, -
he said, addressing his careful parent
with a beaming smile. THE boys taught
me how to swim, and the only time they
used the canoe was the last day, to go
over to the other shore. But / remem-
bered my promise, and l wasn't going to
break 1t the last day. So 1 swan across. -

to promote immodesty. The proprietor
OF Long Branch hotel who has been an
observer Of surf bathers for twenty years,
says his experience has been that no harm
comes from the commingling of the sexes.
During the twenty years he has not had
to interfere with bathers for bad conduct
more than half a dozen times. It Is
doubtful if the record of the English
bathing places is any better.

The fact that Mr. Bryan is 20 take lunch

in New York who can do as much to-
wards bringing out the democratic vote Of

with Senator Hm. however. may not
mean that the latter has made up his mind
TO break the silence he has maintained

ticket and platform. The lunch may be
simply a courtesy extended TO the demo-
cratic nominee. still. it IS hardly proba-
BILE that Senator Hill would have taken
any notice OF Mr.. B-yan's visit to Albany
if he did not intend to support him.
The probabilities are that ne intends 10
indorse the ticket and not the platform.
In view of what he said in the Chicago
convention he could not consistently APP
prove the platform. The understanding
seems to be that the democratic state
convention will indorse the ticket and say
nothing about the platform. That course
may enable the democrats TO hold the
party organization Of the state together,
but it will put them at a great disadvan-
tage in the campaign.

The Ethics of bathing.

London and the watering places of the
United Kingdom are just now interested
in a discussion as to whether or not the
sexes should battle together in the surf. 1t
is a good enough hot weather topic, and
may have the effect of formulating a new
and modern code of ethics of the surf
bath in England. The question was pre-
cipitated by the arrest at Ramsgate of a
man for giving his wife swimming lessons
in the surf. The English seaside resorts
have local laws prohibiting the sexes
from enjoying each others society in the
surf, and special policemen are employed
to see that the laws are not disobeved
