THE ATHLETIC WOMAN.

The woman who at this end of the
century neglects physical culture or
the practice of some form of athletics
is a curiosity; all ages and conditions,
all classes and natiOnalities, agree that
woman to be at her best, whatever her
ruling ambition may be, must cultivate
her physical as we'll as her mental pow
ers, for on the perfection of the former
depends the brilliancy of the latter.
The "all pervading bicycle has un-
doubtedly been an important factor in
establishing this principle, and if not
the favorite form of exercise is invaria-
bly, an adjunct to her special fad in
physical culture. DemOreSrs Adgd-
zine for June has several excellent ar
ticles in this line; and all women
should read the handsomely illus
trated papers on ''The Reign of the
Bicycle" and ''WOman and Her Wheel"
also "Woman in Athletics, in which
experts in golf, swimming, wheeling,
fencing, tennis, ETC., give valuable
points regarding the benefits and pies
ures derived from the particular sport
each adores.
Then there is paper on "Architec-
/ ture as a Profession for Women" " il
lustrated with portraits and it is safe
to say that every one of them is de-
voted to some form of athletics.
Robert Louis Stevenson's last story,
"Weir of Hermiston" is begun in this
number; and in connection with it the
illustrated paper on "Stevenson's Life
in Samoa" is of special interest.
"Where Summer Days Fly Swiftly
has host of beautiful illustrations and
is especially apropos at present; and
altogether the June issue of this all
round magazine is quite up to the mark
and appropriate for the season.
The fashions are summery and up
to-date, and everyone who has evel

THE MIDDLETOwN BABY SHOw.-The
Baby Show held at the Opera House at
Middletown Thursday was attended by
about 1000 people, the auditorium
where the exhibition was held being
crowded to its doors. The judges
were Charles P. Cochran, William p.
Biggs, F. H. Hoffecker, Colonel E. i.
Cooper, and Colonel Edw F. Martin.
There were about sixty representa-
tive Juveniles from various parts OF
the State, and the premiums were ex-
tremely handsome and expensive.
The manager Colonel George W. In
gram had arrangements perfectly in
accord with the wants of the visitors.
SOME OF THE PRIZE WINNERS.
Among the most fortunate ones were
Mr.. Appletown, of MiddletOwn who
received a solid silver caster for exhl-
biting his twin babies. Mrs. MOllie
Brooks little beauty carried off the
first premium, consisting of ladies'
gold watch. Mrs. G. W. Lords lit
tie one, from Camden, Del, took home
with her a silver nut bowel, and Mrs.
Alice McCauley, of Galena, Md, Sc
cured the butter dish.
Mrs. Minnie Bender captured th'
premium offered to the yOunges
mother, and took it to home in Por
Penn, baby coach; while Mrs. Re
becca Whitlock, of Middletown, Sc
cured cake basket.
The bicycle races on the main stree
were exciting, and Miss Carrie Wes
and Master Julian Taylor won tn
prizes.

With the adoption of the bicycle and
the Keely cure, the Indian has left few
ex elusive privileges to his white
brother, and at the pace he is now
going will soon leave him none at all.
He not only masters the difficulties of
the wheel with the greatest CELEBRITY,
outlying the prairie antelope and jack
rabbit, but he qualities himself for rad
ical treatment at the gold cure more
rapidly and thoroughly than any Ken
lucky colonel or Tennessee major ever
heard of. Among the Osages of Okla
homa Territory the number now under
treatment is very large, and would be
larger if there were more liquor and
more local sanitariums. The number
of squaws undergoing the restoration
process is discOuraging, and altogether
the situation of the tribe is not a prom
ising one. 1t has had a good deal of
money and other aid from the Govern
ment, and ought to have made a much
better showing in the way of morals
and progress. Of the white graduates
of the Kelley foundations there is al
ways a doubt whether they are worth
the cost of curing them, and there may
be the same uncertainty about the alb
original matriculant. His collision
with John BarleycOrn generally puts
an end to his usefulness in the first
round, the probable case of the Osages
of Oklahoma, in spite of all the doctors
and curative institutions in the Terri
tory.

THE DIVISION OF AFRICA.

The Anglo-Egyptian expedition to
Dongola is believed, says the Philadel
phia Inquirer, to have for its ultimate
purpose the conquest of the SOudan,
and if the movement should be sue
cessful then the Desert of Sahara
would be the only part of the continent
of Africa which has not been taken as
a national possession by one or other of
the Powers of Europe. In fact, France
has already dreamed of a trans-Sa-
haran railway, and it is within the
probabilities that before a quarter of a
century has elapsed the Sahara will be
as effectually wiped from the maps as
is the great American Desert.
The areas which are owned by the
various governments of Europe on the
dark continent are vast countries of
themselves. Great Britian owns an
area of $500, 900 square miles, while
France has one that covers 5000, 900.
Germany is the owner of a area cover
ing $4,000 square miles; Belgium,
though the Congo Free State, $50, ,OOOi
Portugal, 100000; Turkey, through
Egypt and TEipoli, $40, 900; Italy, 600,
600, and Spain, s5O,OOO. Liberia, Mo-
rocco, the Transvaal Republic and the
Orange Free State have an area Of
some 100000 square miles, so that all
which is unappropriated is territory
of 100000 square miles. This CON
sists largely of either desert land or Of
territory, so far in the interior of the
continent that it cannot be secured, OF
possession of which could only be hae
by passing through part of the terri
tory which belongs to some of th'
European nationalities or that comes
within their ''sphere of influence.

SING ON.
BY ANNA A. LEWIS.

Sing on, thou pretty bird,
In cadence sweet,
Trill out thy sweetest song the morn to greet.
Sadly my heart did brood DER hope deferred,
But no longer weep,
Or weary vigils keep,
Since thy merry morning song have heard.
Sing on, sweet warbler, sing
Winter is Der
And thou and l will happy be once more.
In sunny nOOks heartsease is blosSOming,
Bope whispers tenderly,
Joy will come back to thee,
All things are gladsOme with thy returning.
Sing on then cheerily,
While thou dOst wait
Till Love shall send to thee thy gentle mate;
Then when she comes cooling notes to thee,
Build thou bonnie nest.
Where meath her downy breast
Birdlings will nestle cuddled so softly.
Sing out thy merry lay,
Till winter time
Speeds on, and thou must seek warmer cline
Then by thy empty net, softly I'll pray,
"God keep the little bird,
Whose merry song heard
In leafy tree and bush, from day to day."

WANAMAKER CLOTHING


We've got a bully black and
blue Thibet suit for S.. The
only objection to telling of it
is that nine out of ten of our
readers that do not know much
about us will say: It's a lie.
So here's a description of it.
All-wool; serge coat-lining ;
as we'll cut as $50 suit; as
strongly sewed, but not so fine
stitches fine enough for the
cloth and the cloth fine
enough for twice the money,
and yet clothing isn't cheaper
this year than it was last year.
If you are a big fat man we
can fit you with it; tall or short.
Ifyou are any sort of a regular
man we can fit you with it.
We ought to say the cloth
has been inspected, just as all
our cloths are ; and shrunk, as
ali our cloths are; and the
making inspected, as all our
making is ; thousands of suits
and selling, as all our stuff is
your money back if you think
it isn't so good as we say.
Your money back if you'll
take it.
Queer thing to do: a IS
suit The queerest part of the
business is : we make no profit
on it. We think it a bully thing
to do. Have you any objec-
ton?

THE DELAWARE RIVER CHANNEL
DELAY.

Major Raymonds verdict upon the
ultimate passage of the River and Har-
Dor bill over the Presidents veto is
that it is more of a disaster for the in
terests of the port of Philadelphia than
would have been the defeat of the
measure. In a sense the Major is
right i'll his assertion, since he him
self is authority for the statement that
even the modified Gray prOvisO con
cerning the Reedy Island dixie means
a virtual obstruction of the engineer
ing work upon the Delaware channel
throughout one year. The necessi-
tated delay, due to the required re-
survey of and report upon the dixie in
dispute, cannot but be regarded as an
irreparable loss of time in the accom-
plishment of a vast project which has
already suffered overmuch obstruction,
and in which expediency is now the
uppermOst issue.
On the other hand, the defeat of the
River and HarbOr bill would in all
probability not have insured any more
expeditions operations on the river
chapnel, since it is almost certain that
the Delawarean dwellers on the Apo
quinimink and Blackbird creeks, who
occasioned the Congressional contro-
versy, would have interfered in any
continuance of dixie building under the
old appropriation. They would have
enjOined the Federal engineers, be-
yOnd doubt. A resurvey and new re-
port, such as provided for, would seem
to have been inevitable. In December
next this interstate dispute will in al
likelihood be settled in favor of MAJOR
Raymond's plans; and it is wise to ac
cept in a thankful mood the $5OO,O
appropriation offered now in advance

Two centuries ago the America con-
tinent was owned by Great Britian,
France, Spain and Portugal. Every
foot of land had either been seized or
claimed, and the struggle for posses
sion had not only brought about at
tempts to wipe out the aborigines, but
had caused fierce and cruel conflicts
among the struggling and rival land
grabbers. The French waylaid and
killed the Spanish colOnists, the Span
iards in turn slaughtered the French
colonists and the English fought with
and killed both. England, France
and Spain were the three chief colOniz
ing Powers, but while the former has
still small part of her old possessions
left, the best part of the which all of
these Powers acquired by dearly
bought conquest has been lost, and
that, too, under conditions which
could not possibly have been fOreseen,
and, therefore, which were not sought
to be guarded against. The continent
of Africa has really been seized upon
and divided much as the continent of
America was allotted.
1t will be interesting to watch the de-
velopment of the colonies in Africa
which are being built up by European
Powers and see if African colonization
will have different results from those

Mohair or wool are the materials
most used for travelling. The latter
has the advantage of not readily show
ing soil nor crushing. but mohair is
cool and much the better choice for
stout women since mixed wool adds
not little to apparent proportion.
Either material however, to be really
satisfactory, should be of high grade
and such selection is economical, since
in the wear and tear of cars or boats,
the old proverb, "the best is cheapest, "
holds especially good. Furthermore
as the length of skirts at present, is
apt to bring about fraying, ladies in
choosing a binding, should be careful

According to a celebrated anatOmist there
are upwards of 5000. 900 little glands in the
human stomach. These glands poor out
the digestive juices which dissolve or digest
the food Indigestion is want of juice,
weakness of glands, need of help to restore
the health of these organs. The best and
most natural help is that given by Shaker
Digestive Cordial. Natural, because it sup
plies the materials needed by the glands to
prepare the digestive juices. Because it
strengthens and invigorates the glands and
the stomach, until they are able to do their
work alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures

THE OLD MILL.

The old mill, meath the oak-trees,
Stands silent in the shade;
And the river flowing near,
Goes rushing down the glade.
Once, this old mill was noisy,
With tread of busy feet;
Now it has hushed the clamOr,
Which it will n'er repeat.
The old wheels are standing still,
No more to grind the grain;
They are badly rusted from
Exposure to the rain.
Rats and mice run back and forth,
Across the dusty floor,
Frolicking from morn till night,
With no one to debar.
But the old mill soon will fall,
For it is crubling now,
It's walls are fast decaying
And t'wards the river bow.
Thy ruins shall be borne thence
Upon watery bier;
But thou shalt be forever,
With in our memories, dear.
