that some method shall be found by means of which the waters of the bay may be regularly and frequently chang ed or else the pollution now poured in- to it shall be diverted and safely dis posed of elsewhere. To effect the former it has been proposed to cut a canal leading from the bay to point on the north coast, with a view of es- tablishing current toward the gulf.
 * The other alternative is the diversion of the sewage now deliv- cred into the bay and its disposal else- where without prejudice to the public health. This would involve the con- struction of an intercepting sewer along the water front to receive the outfall of drains carrying domestic and manufactured waste. and is a measure so commonly resorted to that no novel; ty presents itself it connection with the suggestion"
 Whichever method is adopted, pro- vided that it is effectual, matters little- but that the present Spanish 'let- things-slide" way of management Is intolerable and should no longer be permitted to coHtliue iS lHe opAiioh oA all civilized peoples. However, radi- cal change will soon be made, and we have every reason to believe that yell low fever will be driven from it's last stronghold; in fact, 1t may not be rash to predict that if the Brazilian sanita- rians can be awakened to their duty, many of those now living will see the day when yellow fever will have been stamped out and mankind delivered from one of the most deadly of the tropical scourges.-Medical Record.

the wheel order, and may be made to suit the wheel without the least inter- fering with its usefulness as walking skirt
 Golf and the bicycle have at least done so much for us, and more than all the sanitary clubs, rainy day associa- tions and hygienic crazes ever could. Years ago leaders in these fads con- fessed that until something made the short skirt the fashion women might as well give up trying to adopt it. AS it is, the short skirt has not been ac- cepted and permitted because of rain, dust or comfort, but because couple of popular sports called for 1t. For years the hunting costume has been short-skirted, but hunting was not a popular pastime. Golfing and wheeling, however. brought the short-skirted woman into the clubs. She has been seen not only in the links and on the wheels in the skirt, but everywhere near by and as result the short skirt is accepted
 Shirt waists are the usual wear with such skirts, but the waist need not be lacking in ornamentation. Of course anything distinctly dressy would be out of place, but a shirt waist that Is we'll in touch with current fashions, and a hat that may be bit more than a se- were sailor, are permitted. Such are sketched herewith, the waist being of scarlet cashmere, trimmed with tuck ing and red silk ruffling, and belted with red leather. Topping this was a red fancy straw sailor trimmed with a black feather aigrette. Thus Is com pleted an outing rig that sense domi- mates without sacrificing appearances.

VERMONT TOTES TOMORROW

Tomorrow will be election day in Vermont, and though the Democrats there are neither many nor influential they are consistently faithful. So they will vote tomorrow just as they have done for many years, without enthusi- asm and without hope. The Republi- cans will, 1t is hoped, vote with enthu- siasm and hope, and set good exam pie. The Burlington Press says to them: If there are any Republicans who are inclined to be skeptical in re- lation to the importance attached to Vermont's election by the business in- terests as well as by political circles of the whole country, let them recall the manner in which the markets responded to the overwhelming majority given our State ticket two years ago. The Republicans of the Green Mountain State owe 1t to their party as we'll as to the business and industrial inter- ests of the nation to spare no effort to give their State ticket rousing ma- jority on September 6.
 Two years ago 10,637 Vermonters voted for Bryan, while 51,127 voted for Mckinley.

S. A. Knapp, IL. D., to whom the United States has given the unique title of "Agrucultural Explorer" has left New York for Vancouver, whence he will sail for Japan on September 12. He is to visit Japan, China and possi- bly, the Philippine Islands in the inter- ests of the Department of Agriculture, and will be gone about five months. He is instructed to arrange, if possible, for the introduction into those countries of American agricultural products, es- pecially butter and cheese. He is also to select such seeds, fruits, etc., as will be likely to flourish in the Southern States, and in other ways he is to do everything possible to promote the in- terests of American farmers. He bears letters to the Imperial University at Tokio, Japan, and other institutions, and he will doubtless meet with a cor dial reception in the countries to which he is accredited.

Archduke Heinrich, of Austria, it is

Archduke Heinrich, of Austria, 1t is related in the Cologne Gazette, desiring to marry Miss Leopoldine Hoffman, against the will of the Emperor, hit upon the expedient of arranging for the "passive assistance" of a priest. who dare not celebrate a marriage under pain of the Emperors anger. The Arohduke gave banquet, to which he invited the priest. After the soup had been served he rose in his place, on which the guests expected toast. But the Archduke, pointing to Miss Hoff- man, pronounced slowly the words, .Most Reverend, this is my wife" Miss Hoffman immediately rose in her turn and said, "This is my husband" Ac- cording to the theory of passive as- sistance" in Germany and Austria, these words, spoken before priest rendered the marriage of the pair valid and sacramentally concluded. The Emperor was said to be extremely as- tonished, but could do nothing.

Look at your hundred-dollar bills. One of those wonderful counterfeit $100 silver certificates turned up at the Philadelphia sub-treasury few days ago. The bill passed at two banks, trust company and the United States sub-treasury before it was found to be worthless. Even then it would have escaped detection, had not the owner remarked, as the clerk handed him gold in exchange for it, that it had given him little trouble at his savings bank. The clerk immediately became suspi- cious and brought out book contain ing minute descriptions of commercials. It was then found that the bill was bogus.

The Venezuelan government has con- tracted for the importation of 15,00o families from the north of Italy. Lands and houses will be given them and they will be assisted in a financial way. It is expected that they will develop the cultivation of fruits and cereals and will pay special attention to the grow ing of vines and manufacture of wine. Each immigrant will get fourteen acres and it is asserted that this amount of land is too small for the growing of cereals. The consul at Caracas says that when the fruit producing capacity of this cloud of immigrants is developed a market must be sought in the United States. There is none in Venezuela.

The sad Affection Of officer John E. Everett,
of the Island

The sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty gees out to John Z. Everett, dep
uty OF the force OF Chief of Police
I. D. Bennett. His four children
were sick at one time with scarlet
fever, and their devoted mother
nursed them watching constantly at
their bedsides, until she sank from
exhaustion, and was compelled to go
to her bed. She never rallied Her
death was reported in the Register

Twenty-four hours later, the young
est child followed its mother, passing
away at four o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
the funeral of mother and child
took place yesterday afternoon. Ow-
ing to the circumstances there were
but few persons present. Mother and
child were buried in one casket, the
baby being placed at the feet of the
parent. The services were conducted
by the Rev Jacob Birmingham, rec
tor of ST. Lukes Protestant Episcopal
Church. The interment took place at
Peninsula cemetery.
Three children are still lying i'll of
scarlet fever, but last night it was
reported that they are improving.
The reported statement that collec-
lions are being made for the afflicted
family. has subjected Mr.. Everett and
his relatives to considerable annoy
ance. Its only foundation lies in the
fact that a number OF ladies living in
the neigh borhood. have done all in
their power to assist the sufferers.
1t is understood that an unsuccessful
was made to secure a nurse.
