REPORT DENIED.

There Was No Trouble as Reported Be-
 tween America- ar" sTapeo eea.r
 Washington, Aug. 3.-The latest ad- vices of the navy department from the Asiatic station, make no mention of any trouble. such as reported from Victoria of trouble between the sailors of the Yorktown and Boston. and the inhabs- ta r'ts of Kobe, and for that reason attach no importance to the report.
 recent published statement of ill- treatment of American sailors in Yoko- hama turns out to have this foundation for it. t
 Some deserting sailors were captured by the local authorities, and, resisting, it became necessary to tie them up and de- liver them in this shape. The naval oai- rials say there is hardly any record of i'll treatment of American sailors in Japanese waters

the Schoo! Commissioner should take
! some stand and throw his influence
on the side Of right and Justice and
truth as found in tho Word of God,
and not i'll tho changeablo opinions
OF mon. 1t is not his duty, nor
wouli it be wise, to enter into
"doubtful disputations," wordy and
vehement arguments; but ho should
bring his influence to boar to uphold
tho right, resist tho wrong. He, with
the teachers, should instill into tho
young horror Of tho murdcrous
style of tho prosont, and point out
to them the cowardico and trcachcry
and want Of truthfulnoss. Let us
all endeavor to divert tho minds and
thoughts Of those under our charge
into healthier, purcr, better chan
nels, and thereby try to correct and
at some future day put at crd to
tho evils now existing and increasing.
The Importance Of the Office of
School Commissioner is not appre-
ciated by Legislators or people. This
is duo partly to Ignorance of the
duties, and in part to the fact that
in many counties tho Office has been
used rs an asylum for tho inlirm or
given as reward for political sor-
vices. TO correct this tho School
Commissioner must show what should
be dono by performance, and our
people will recognize the importance
Of thoir work.

Why take yohL7SOn's
Chill & Fever Tonic?
Because it cures the
most stubborn case
OfYeVcr in ONEDAY.
New York E'nshiOn I.cttor.

Now that the outing season has
come tho subject of suitable gowns
for travelling, yachting and cycling
is uppormost in the wol Ill of fashions.
For travelling costumes, twccds
and chrviots, in grey and brown
shades, are moro popular than any
othor materials. They are made
with plain skirts rather narrower
than last year. The boIcro is al
most universally used for these COS
tunes and pretty silk blouscs nro
worn undor them Many Of our
large houses arc. o..trimming these suits
with n narrow braid of decidedly
contrasting color. The seams and
hons of the skirts, also tho collars,
rcvors and culls Of the juckots arc
outlined with braid. Some of tho
bolcros arc cut up in the back, but
most Of them reach to tho waist line
all around.
Blue and white scrgo are always
tho thing for yachting The wator
does not spot or shrink them and
they arc warm without being too
hcavy. Many Of these skirts are
made without any lining and arc
finished around the bottom with
triple hom about six inches doep.
The idoa of making these honls
triple is to keep the foot from show
ing between tho bottom of tho petit
coat and the lower edge Of the skirt.
Some cutting dresses for older
ladies arc made with capo Jackets in
stead of tho boloro. The body part
of these garments is made half tight
fitting with slight ripple over tho
hips and in tho back. Tho full cape
sleeves are lined with silk, usually
tho Same as tho blouse waist that is
worn under it. These garments aro
worry comfortable for travelling be-
cause they give perfect Freedom and
case in using the arms.
More care is taken in modelling
and finishing cycling costumes than
heretofore BriIIiantino makes
very cool drcss for this purposo and
is well liked because # does not
catch tho dust Skirts arc divided
and not very wide. The bloomcrs
arc made scant around tho hips and
quito full below the knee. Tho
tickets worn with these costumes are
made tight fitting in back with loose
double breasted front.
