Truth, will do well to be followed:
Procure a bathing suit If you
were to battle in your store clothes
or dress suit you would be consider

Procure an instructor a pretty
girl makes the best instructor for
young man and good looking
youth for young and timid girl.
Enter the water boldly if You are
IA man and timidly II you are a
girl, These are conventional an
tics. Its safe betting that the
girl is more familiar with water
than man. but that doesn't count
If you are Of the male persuasion
remain as close as possible to the
side Of your fair teacheT If Of the
female, emaiu closer
Remark that "the water is rath-

CLAYrON.sULwsR TREATY.


Question Raised la British ParliamsN'
Has no Connection with II.
WASHINGTON, July 2s.-Public men
in Washington we're generally surprised
when the announcement was made IN
the cable dispatches few days since
that the question OF the Clayton Bulwer
treaty had been raised In the Brush
parliament In connection with the pro-
posal 10 annex the Hawaiian ISLANDS 70
the United States, and also were cohse-
auentIy prepared for the response OF the
British government that the one qles-
ton was not Involved In the other. The
matter Is regarded here with all me
greater interest because both subjects
the validity OF the treaty and the annex
atl1n OF Hawaii are under consideration
by the American congress, and BOTH IN
In all probability, will receive attention
during the next session
The senate committee on foreign rela-
tIons, which has already reported upon
the apnexatI1n treaty, has undertaken
an investigation OF the present status OF
the Clayton Bulwer convention, ana me
general expectation, on account OF lne
predictions OF the members Of the suo-
committee having the question In charge
is that a report will be made favorable
10 the ahrogatlon OF the treaty. II is
understood that a majority OF the mem
bers OF the committee consider that Eng
land has by repeated acts In Central
America nullIiied the treaty, There Is
also a large element IN the senate which
regards the treaty as obnoxious TO the
Monroe doctrine. Others look upon u as
liable In an indirect way to have, through
its reference to the Nicaragua canal a
bearing upon the Hawaiian question.
Those Of this class do not admit that
there Is the remotest reference TO Hawai-
In the Clayton Bulwer treaty, but they
claim that Hawaii and the proposed lsth-
milan canal to which the treaty has espe-
clal reference, are so closely related as
10 render the future bearing OF this
treaty upon the Hawaiian problem
matter of interest. II Is understood mat
the committee will be prepared to report
soon after the converting OF congress
next December one of the points OF
doubt on the part of the committee Is
how the treaty is regarded by the British
government. II appears that while Eng
land has generally acted In Central
American affairs as she would have
been expected to act II there had been no
treaty. the English authorities nave
never given expression to any oilielai
sentiment as to the continued effect OF
the agreement made between Secretary
Clayton and Sir Lytton Bulwer.

MEETS WITH A COOL RECEPTION,
Proposition TO Entertain the q. a. IL. En
cAmpmtnt ut Richmond.


RICHMOND. Va. July 2s.-The prop
osltIon to induce the Grand Army to
hold its encampment next year here
meets with comparatively little sympa-
thy. The Richmond Times, leading
gold Democratic paper, whose editor was
one of Mosby's men, to-day says edltori-
ally:
ut would be worse than affectatIou, 1t
would be inslncere to pretend that the in
vltatlon which is to be extended to the
Grand Army Of the Republic to make
their encampment In 1898 at Richmond
is not prompted by business consldera-
lions
what complications may be met be-
cause OF the place which the colored
troops have In che Grand Army Of the
Republic we cannot suggest, because We
tiu not know what the custom In that
matter is. But It IL certain that there
Will be no change In our own social cus-
toms here to suit transient demand
should one be made, and this IL no doubt
understood or should be understood by
all parties"
