London. Feb S.--Lady Henry somer-
set has written letter to Lord George
uamilton. the secretary OF state for
India. to the effect that the letter which
she wrote him early in 1897. In connec-
tion with the repeal of the Indian can
tonments act was widely misunderstood.
and she therefore desires to withdraw
her Endorsement of any form or princi-
ple of state regulation OF vice.

The warrant has been posted for the
annual town meeting, which will be held
Monday, Oct. 8. The issue OF license or
no-lcense will come before the voters,
and there IL not much doubt as to what
the result will be. The experience Of the
town under license has been far from sat
isfaetory. The number of deaths and ac-
eidents that have resulted directly or In
directly from drunkenness the past year
will have an effect at the polls. While
no-lieense does not stop the sale Of liquor
entirely, it removes to great extent the
temptation placed before the young men.
GRACE CHURCH NoTEs The attend
ance at the early celebration of the holy
communion last Sunday was remarkably
good for such a small parish. Infant
baptism will be administered after the
morning service next Sunday. Choir

The harvest home festival given In the
church last year was such a success
that It has been decided to hold one
this year also, about the middle of Octo-
tober, the music being sung, as before,
by the parish choir and that of st. Johns
church, Rockville. Next Thursday, the
festival of st. Michael and All Angels,
there win be holy communion. at 10 a. N.

New Silks For Fall.

Spread out on the counters,
or nesting in reserve on the
shelves out of the way of the
dust, is a dazzling array of
new fall silk beauty. Conjure
up the brightest, most fasci-
mating, strikingest silk tho'ghts
that ever you had, and then
come to see them totally
eclipsed with what we have
ready. Safe to say that such
another galaxy of superb fall
silks cannot be seen in this
neighborhood.
Look at a few of them on
paper:
Taffeta Ombre striped patterns, beauty
shifting into more beauty, 81 yard
Taffeta: Checked pattern, brightness
upon brightness, 75c., &c., 81 yard
Taffeta Striped patterns-wide and mar
row, new blues, new greens, new reds,
85c, 81 yard.
Taffeta: Brocaded and checked pattern,
all the pretty combinations per yd
ought to be 75c.
Taffeta Striped patterns-all the new
fall colors-black with green; with
blue; with purple; green with white
69c-ought to be 873c or 81.
Taffeta: Swell pattern-narrow close
stripes with diagonal checks, soft aristo-
cratic fall colorings-75c per yard in
stead of 81.
Taffeta: Bayadere rich, new, striking
only 81 per yard.
Taffeta: Stripes, checks, with Pekin
satin stripes in contrasting colors, 81
$1.25.
Taffeta Every new fall color-they are
to be much sought after-75c per yard.
Satin Duchess: Plain colors-Hunters
green, Bishops purple, Poppy red,
Moss green, Corn, White Cream, Brown
81 per yard.
The word ExCLUsIF should
be applied to almost every
style mentioned above, for
they are to be found in this
vicinity in this store only,
and even here in single OF
double waist lengths only.
What will surprise every
woman most is that the prices
of these fine things are SC
reasonable.
The story of silks shouldn't
be concluded without word
of the new black silks. In
brief then: Here is the full
est stock of black dress silks
for fall to be found in the city;
prices right.

A SAILOR PRESIDENT.

We have had many army presidents.
but no sailor president AS the wars
of the future for this country must of
necessity be on the sea, why will not
the successful sailor or naval hero
hereafter figure politically? They
never have. Sailors, however eminent,
have never been seriously considered
politically, never talked of for office.
Land wars have made many presi-
dents, many governors and filled innu-
merable offices. War records from
Washington to Mckinley have seldom
failed to figure in each national cam
paign. But the generals of this war
are of little Importance or significance
compared to the captains, commodores
and admirals commanding their ships.
fleets and squadrons. If Dewey's vic
tory had been on land instead of on
the sea, he would have been mentioned
every day in connection with a future
term in the White House. But sailors
are not counted politically. Why?

who shall be strongest in the conven-
ton as a second choice is the man who
will receive the nomination. We very
much fear that the old political pocket
is too small to much longer hold every
thing offering. 1t is old, full Of holes,
and leaky. The value Of its contents
has been marked up too high. Age has
deteriorated its contents, or otherwise
the new is more in demand if not In
actual evidence. The circumscribed
area referred to-and which has had all
up to date-which is included in line
commencing at the northeast corner Of
Doniphan and circling around by Man
haitian aE6 Emporia, down to lola and
back up to Kansas City, no longer con-
stitutes the state. Its people probably
continue to think it does, but it doesn't.
The state convention is to be held a
hundred miles outside of that line this
year. That pocket which has held
everything from the first, still holds
two United States senators, the fed
eral judge, the pension agent, four
congressman, etc.-in fact, all that is
worth holding. They are good KAN
sans, as were all their numerous pred
ecessors, but there are other corners
with their Jacky Horners, who would
like plum now and then and slice

DEWEY SALUTE.

When the cable carried the news to
Manila bay that Dewey had been made
a rear admiral by President Mckinley
through an enabling act of congress,
and an admirars flag had been run up
on the Olympia, a British ship in the
harbor was the first to notice the sign
Of the new commission and immedi-
ately acknowledged the honor with a
salute Of thirteen guns. Then quickly
followed the German, the japanese
and the French warships, and Manila
bay roared again as on the morning
when Dewey awakened the echoes of
Its hills. Dewey by that single stroke
won his promotion and won a name
and fame beside. but he opened the
eyes Of the world to the fact that
America was no longer a second-rata
power.

BOUNCE POLO.

Polo Bernabe, late Spanish minis
ter to the United States, has never left
this continent. Declaring that he would
not leave such a country on any OF the
New York lines Of steamers, he crossed
the Niagara river into Canada, where
he has since remained, making Mont
real his headquarters. 1t is supposed
that he has established kind OF bu-
reau Of information in the interest OF
the Madrid officials. AS Minister Sails
bury and Secretary Joe Chamberlain
are protesting such undying love and
friendship for this country, what ex-
cuse can they have for harboring this
Spanish spy or for not bouncing him?
Polo is a menace and a mischief and
England should notify him to move on

GREAT CHANGES IMMINENT.

John W. Foster, whom China sent for
to help her out Of the Japanese scrape,
and who is believed to be the greatest
diplomat by the rulers Of that empire,
expresses the opinion that by one of
the most sudden and impressive
changes in the course of events which
history records, the United States has
been placed in the position of the ut
most advantage and consequence with
reference to the other powers of the
world, and her hereafter enormously
extended trade relations with the ORR
ent. He is convinced that the Ameri-
can flag should be maintained on the
Philippines. In short, Mr.. Foster be-
lieves that the victory of Manila bay
is Of higher consequence than any
other event which can come of the
present war

THAT HINTERLAND.

Less than week since the world was
startled over the announcement by in
fluential parties that France and
Great Britain would be at war with
each other within sixty days. The
Cuban matter and the threatened trou-
BILE with Spain had SO engrossed our
own people that the announcement
proved more than a surprise. It now
seems that there must be a back-down
or a fight. The trouble grows out Of
the occupation of Egypt partly. but
more directly out of French occupancy
of English possessions on the west
coast of Africa, down on the maps as
Boussa and Nikki, and known as the
eHinterland." The French growing
warm over English manipulations Of
the Egyptian revenues is attempting
TO unite her African possessions, which
involves Senegambia, Sierra Leone and
the Gold Coast, just south of the Cape
Verde Islands. AS long as France and
England were satisfied with single fac
tories on the coast, destined to be Of
use as marts and warehouses for the
produce Of the back country, and Of
the goods from the outside, they had
only to keep these strings Of detached
and disseminated possessions and to
remain in the atomical state. But the
day came when the powers understood
what broad prospects of commerce and
of empire the conquest of the inner
land would open up to them. The same
thing came to pass in West Africa as
in the past century in America, when
France wanted to connect by the Mis-
sissippi valley and by chain of forti-
fed settlements. her possessions in
Canada and her possessions in Louisi-
ana England then declined to let her
American settlers be cooped up on the
coast, cut from the inner continent.
and shut off from any access to the
wealth Of the central part and the Pa
cific coast.
France has been viewing the matter
as Johnny Bull bluff, but Chamber
lain's talk has brought about a differ
ent realization. England was never
more earnest in her life. Her African
possessions are to become of great i'm
portance to that empire, maybe as In
dia itself. England's ambition is to
dominate the African continent. She
-.
does Egypt and all the Nile, and
France will have to relinquish the west
coast or fight.
