A FERROUS HARBOR.

New York harbor is more dangerous to American Inen-of-war than any for eign harbors have yet proved. The battleship Massachusetts made a mar row escape on her way down the bay on Saturday and returned to the navy yard with Q hole in her bottom. The spot near Governors island where the mishap occurred is the same at which two other men-Of-wdI' have been injujr- ed The pilot explains that there ought to have been water enough for the Mas sachusetts, since he had taken the Ore gon over the same spot, but that the tide was nominally low.
 This is just one Of those temporary conditions that the local pilots are sup posed to be familiar with and because Of which their employment is allowed, as it was not in the navy until recently. The navigating officer of the Massachu- sets probably knew the channel, in it's normal state, quits a. well as any pilot, but he could not know to what peculiar changes it might be liable from time to time This is what the local pilot is Times.

THEFTs IN WASHINGTON SOCIETY
Not Only the Women's Wraps and Furs
 Disappear, But Mems Garments

h the social season of Washington the time comes annually for the loss of valuable wraps and furs. No mat ter how literally the fine mansions which are open to the visiting public
 are provided with rcbing rooms and at tentive maids, there is sure to be great confusion as to the proprietOrship of
 outer garments. and the remarkable thing about it is that the expensive ones are those lost most easily. The
 most observant woman fails to recog-
 nize the difference in the shabby sub stitute that is left in place of her own
 until the stronger light of the follaw ing day reveals her loss. Som etimes the exchange is made inadvertently and is easily remedied, but oftener it is the work Of women who go the rounds for the express purpose Of getting val uable property of this sort.
 There was an instance of this kind
 at an afternoon reception at the house of 9 former secretary Of state, when well dressed woman found, to her great disgust as she looked for her wraps up- on leaving, that a feather boa valued
 at $40. was replaced by one that cost about S4, which was put in the folds of her cloth cape, just as the one which
 had been taken was concealed. The
 matter might have made sensation had not the hostess requested that nothing should be said about it. In the
 meantime detective traced the boa to
 the house of a disI reputable woman.
 The loss is not always in WOmen's gar
 ments. Men have a time with their
 overcoats and hats. Dr. Booze, a pop
 ular yCung congressman from Mary
 land, who is much sought after and
 deIuged with invitations as unmarried
 congressman ara, has been telling a
 joke at his own expense. Recently he
 attended a reception at the home of Governor Stone of Pennsylvania.
 The hat of MT. Booze disappeared, but
 none was left in place of it, and the only thing for him to do was to accept the proffered headgear of the host, which was much too large for him, but served until the rext day, although Mir Booze declared he had great difficulty in making his way home with MT. Stones hat down over his ears. An army officer, who has had some har- rowing experience concerning hats in his social career. has adopted the pre- caution Of wearing an old beaver, which has seen some service in days gone by, a hat which his wife declares is ''Gisreputable." Nevertheless he in Sists on wearing it to all the fashion able functions and finds to his great satisfaction that no one ever thinks of appropriating it.-From 2 Washington Dispatch

supervision, and he hopes to have It finished by the holidays.
 Prof. Langle.y's love for children is well known, and there is no more charming phase in the character of this great scientist and erudite scholar. He delights to have little folks about him. It is one of his greatest pleasures to drive with them in the park, and he frequently acts as their host in his own home. It is said the favorable criti- cisms received from children from all over the country of his book ''The New Astronomy" published three or four years ago, were more gratifying to him than all the compliments paid him by his scientific colleagues l Washington Letter.

WHAT ADVERTISING DOES.

Advertising is like the baking powder and yeast used in making bread. It makes the loaf bigger and better without adding to it's cost. To make a loaf six inches square without baking powder or yeast requires a great deal more flour, and in the end pro- duces unsatisfactory bread; whereas a spoonful of baking powder makes the loaf bigger with less flour and less labor and certainly gives more satisfactory bread for the person that has to eat it. The baker who today would attempt to bake bread without yeast or baking powder, or some such assistance, would soon go into bankruptcy and his custom CTS would die with dyspepsia.
 Advertising is like baking pow der. It has to be paid for, Of course, but in the long run it saves both the producer and the consumer a great deal more than its cost

Reporter (naiveiy)-But don't know. Managing Editor (drawing himself up)-YOu don't know? And by what fright don't you know?

CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.

It looks as if the scheme of the
 "Anti-Imperialist league" of Boston to
 obtain ten million signatures to a peti- ton against "exparsion" would be a
 dismal failure. The signatures were to be secured by means of a series of
 cards sent broadcast throughout the country, each card to contain ten
 names and then forwarded to a com
 mon center, and from that center dumped into the halls of congress. The reports are to the effect that ten thou sand names have not been secured, and
 We put the figure thus high in order to de within the latest estimate of less E an three thousand a few days ago.
 Vt may be taken, from Q perusal of the newspapers, that the 'anti-expan-
 siOn' fever has burned itself cIt and
 that the expansion fever kes set in
 We are thus to consider. judging by the meekness with which even some of the most virulent "anti-expansionists" now declare that the treaty should be rati- fled at once, that there is a turn in the
 direction of accepting forthwith what has come to the United States with a view Of making the most of it and with a determination to prove that we are capable of solving even such vexed problems as the annexation of the Phil ippine archipelago.
 That there will be opposition to the ratification of the treaty in the senate every enc believes, but the belief that tba t-oa4u will ba ratified ic ctiII stronger. Then will come the real so- lution of the problem, and it will be one to be worked out by the United States alone. We fancy, however, that as the months roll on the American pecpIe-including many Of those just now carried away with the ''aEti-ex- pansiOn" notion-will resolve that we must civilize the Philippines and thus add new lustre to our record. The task to be undertaken is not one to be completed in a day or in Q year, but if the right kind Of a beginning is made the results will be satisfactory.
 The cause of the change of sentiment, or rather the failure of the "anti-ex- pansion" sentiment to expand, may be set down as 3 realization that what we have set about to undertake is in the nature Of a national duty, and the United States never shirks it's duty. A period of watching and waiting will follow the ratification of the treaty and in the end we may expect the policy of the administration to give entire satis- faction

AsAFoETIDA IN WELSH RABBIT

If you are anxious to know, to give a delicious flavor to your Welsh rabbit you want to put ill just little bit of asafoetida. Oh, you don't tell your guests about t CT have any big label around, but you will find if you do give them the rabbit with that flavor they will all want to know your receipt. The way I do is to put my butter in the chafing dish in the kitchen, and there I add the .asafo9tida, just as much as you can put on one tine of a fork, the very end Of it. It mixes with the but ter, and no one knows anything about it, except that you have given the rab- bit an indescribable flavor that they
 like, but cannot define. Just try it if you don't believe it.-New York Times.

JUST FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS.

The interests of the children are be- irg well looked ont fer. Mir Young, the librarian of congress, has set apart 2 room for their sole use, and Prof. Langley is having an exhibition pre- pared for their especial entertainment and instruction. A room in the first floor of the south tower Of the Smith sonian institution, which. for some time has been assigned to a collection Of birds, has been dedicated to little peO- pie, and in it are being installed cOllec- tions of birds, shells and butterflies, with especial reference to them. The
 whole work is being done, even to the minutest detail. under the secretary's

At a recent meeting Of the British society for the prevention of consunp- ton Dr. BroadDent took the ground that consumption is contagious, and de- clared that the most fruitful means of contagion were the expectorations Of those suffering from the disease. He expressed the hope that tthe railway companies and others would follow the American example of forbidding eXpec- toration in public places and convey ances, and notifying the public Of the danger of this filthy and unnecessary habit" Coming from an Englishman this reference to an American exam pie" is particularly good when con trasted with the writings of Charles Dickens and Mrs Trollope who devoted considerable space to the American habit of expectorating in public places. There is enough in pr. Broadbent's statement to set the people in this town to thinking. There is 9 local ordi- nance against splitting on the streets. It is a dead letter Consumptiyes wander mp and down the city casting their spu- tum right and left, and they are not interfered with. A few arrests would put a stop to the filthy and unneces- sary habit" There are too many spit ters abroad for the public good. What has become of the city marshal? What right has he to ignore the law? It is high time for the city council to give fresh effect to the law.

THE UNBIDDEN GUEST.
His Little Ways and His Colossal
 Cheek

There is a singular old man in New York who makes it a rule to attend public banquets without being invited. He has done it So long that he is now pretty well known by the head walters at Delmonico's, the Waldorf and other places where big dinners are usually given, and it taxes his ingenuity to evade them. He is a fine looking man, perhaps 60 ysars old, with full gray beard trimmed close to his face. and a pinkish bald head. He wears eye glasses, has 9 well fitting dress suit and pleasant manners, 50 that he easily slips into a party of gentlemen and makes himself agreeable to whoever comes up against him.
 At gatherings where there are from 200 to 800 guests there are always sev- eral vacant seats. People who expect to come are detained at the last mo- ment and the intruder has taken ad- vantage of that fact with the skill Of experience. He usually waits until the
