TO BE ACCEPTED.

The war is to be carried into Africa, or, at least, as near Africa as Spain. The invitation extended to the United States to come to Spain Is to be ac- cepted. It is still hard to see what the latest Spanish strategy is. Perhaps it isn't anything and perhaps before the United States ships get to Spain Ad- miral Camara will be at home again. It Is almost beyond belief that the Spanish government has deliberately provided for leaving the Spanish coast unprotected. If it has the worst things that have been said about it in the Cortes would seem to be justified.
 A celebrated Spaniard is quoted as saying concerning the intention of this country to send squadron to Spain: 'Let them come. We will receive them as they deserve" Does this mean that the warships of the United States are to be welcomed and given every oppor- tunity to damage Spain? If not what under the sun does the Camara busi- ness mean?

Cashmere stin Keeps Fine Company


 In shades suitable to summer, cash mere hangs on to favor as a warm weather material and the beauty of it's fine light weight Weaves is reason a-plenty for its stylishness. Then, too it sometimes seems as if many of the best designers held interests in the mills that make the goods, so often do they interpret their most tasteful mod els in this material. Pictured here, for example is one of those ultra stylish trailing and elaborate street gowns of the sort that exclusive dressers affect It was cashmere, soft gray for the skirt and white for the polonaise The latter was freely embroidered with silk in several shades of gray, was trimmed besides with two bows of violet velvet ribbon, and was topped by yoke of shirred violet chiffon over violet shot silk Skirts of this length are not yet generally worn, and it is to be hoped that they will not become popular They afford graceful outlines and in that sense look well, but it is almost

A suggestion worth attention is made by the Engineering Record. It recom- mends to the young civil engineer who is looking about him to find some sub give his attention to the speciality of improving country estates. In the vii cinity of all our large cities and at some points remote from them there are fine estates owned by wealthy families which need to be improved by the arch itect, landscape gardener and sanitary engineer. The country estate has been little developed hitherto in the United States, but now that sanitation is bet ter appreciated there is a growing de- mand for engineers capable of making country estates healthful places of resi- dence. Such an estate," says the Rec ord, Hike the modern office building, hospital or hotel, offers a field to the sanitary engineer which is not yet over crowded and affords opportunities for individualism which the paving, sewer age and waterworks of cities and towns rarely extend. Moreover, the engineer is associated solely with professional men in such private undertakings; he works for a client able and anxious to get the best money can buy, and he is free from all the annoyance which too often attends the holder of municipal office"

4 VOICE FROM rERm0yr.

Vermont Is Dewey's State and the Green Mountain Boys have a full ap- preciation of Deweys achievement. The Republicans among them want the United States to "hang on." In their convention at Montpelier they declared: We are opposed to the surrender to Spanish misrule of any territory which the valor of our army and navy has rescued or may hereafter rescue from the hands of the enemy, and we have an abiding confidence that a Republi- can president and congress will so shape the future of such territory as best to promote the welfare of It's in- habitants and the true glory of our country.
 There will be more such declarations in other Republican conventions. The new imperialism is evidently going to be popular, for awhile at least

Pieces of the bod ies of white men were found in the har- Dor when daylight came and fragments of clothing were found even upon the shore. Nothing, however, was identi- fled as belonging to any of the crew. They had been literally blown to pieces. So had some of the ships of the ene- my, and others were badly shattered.

gloves, and change standards frequent
 ly, Their latest acceptances show that white gloves with black stitching are again worn for morning, walking or for informal wear. The white glove with white stitching is voted more for nal. The suede or mousquetaire glove is still more dressy, and suits an organ die or silk, while the pique glove goes with duck, cotton or cloth. Except for party or evening wear the mousque- taire is not worn in white; pale tea rose, delicate mode, faint yellow and delicate gray are the shades. For tail- or wear where a dark glove is needed a stone gray with black or white single thread stitching Is the prettfest, though the darker mode shades are almost as stylish The clasp or two-button glove should always be worn with the tailor gown. Silk gloves are on the counters of the best stores, but did you ever see any one you would care to initiate wearing a silk glove? Orange gloves, too, ornament the fancy cases in the glove shops, but no one is seen to pur- chase them. Probably if they did find purchasers the buyers would trade strictly on the sly. It would take a brave spirit to buy such handwear openly. FLORETTE.

THE HEAT IN THE MONITORS.

THE HEAT IN THE MONITORS.
 Monitors have been doing cruising, but are not intended for it. Their speed is very low, they carry little coal, and in this hot weather are regular sweat boxes. The temperature in my state- room is 92 to 95 degrees, which is cool compared with that of the warrant of ficers, where it is never below 105 de- grees at sea, or between decks, where it is often 125 degrees. In the engine room 140 dgrees to 160 degrees is the rule. It Is remarkable that only two men are to-day on the sick list out of 216. The men are standing it well, but the doctors are worrying about the fu- ture, as the strain and heat are get ting worse as the war continues and summer is approaching. When work
 ing the turrets have to strip to under
 shirt and dungaree pants, and the men strip strip to bare backs. In action, with guns heating up, it will will be no cold-storage room under the steel turrets, heated by the sun pouring

4 REASONABLE COMPLAINT.

A man who was trained at West Point and now wants to serve his coun- try writes to the Boston Journal: Like most of the West Pointers, I wish I had never seen the academy. All along the line we have been treated shame fully, and there is no excuse for it., either. The country has spent thou sands of dollars to educate us to be off, cers. It costs $S,00O apiece to graduate each cadet, and now when we are at war they tell us to stand aside and let papa's boy show us how the thing should be done.
 There appears to be some justice in this complaint, and the cause for it is not new. General Grant found it hard work to get back into the army when he saw an opportunity to give the, coun- try the benefit of his ability and train ing. "Papas boys" have fared pretty well lately. Some of them will justify the favor that has been shown them. But it stands to reason that a man with West Point education should not have to give way to papa's boy in these days. Speaking of papa's boys, it is interesting to notice that John De Walt Barber and James Fuller McKin- ley, two nephews of President McKin- ley, have enlisted as private soldiers in the Eighth Ohio volunteer Infantry.

A sensonahle snake storr.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 This Is the season for stories of sea- serpents, but, perhaps on account of the war, they are rather scarce-ser- pents or stories? So no doubt you would like one for your interesting se- ries of natural history sketches. And while there is sometimes a suspicion that stories of this kind are exagger7 ated, or indeed entirely fictitious, in this case l promise you a true story; every thing shall be told exactly as it hap pened.
 Several hours after dinner yesterday which consisted of nothing more ex- hilarating than ice cream and straw berries--I entered certain meadow near the city in search of flowers. Be- fore finding any I discovered a hand saw and then an axe near a newly erected haystack pole. Wondering at the carelessness of the farmers, turn ed to see whether any of them were yet in the meadow, and saw something suf- ficient to account for their absence. Across good-sized stream lay an enor- nous serpent with broad, fattened neck. His head was on the hither bank and he was looking intently at me, with mouth partly open. I had in my hand a piece of fruit, which I threw to him. He lowered his head and took the fruit in his mouth, but spat 1t out. Then I had an inspiration; I would get one of the farmers poles and help him swal- low it so effectually that he could not spit it out, and Peabody museum would have ''the biggest thing yet" But as turned to look for the pole he started towards me, and the urgent need of haste on my part-woke me up. (This probably saved my life, as the serpent was fifty feet long and weighed at least two tons.-The words in parenthesis are not a part of the true story promised you, but it's moraL) M.
