A Native Australian Weather propbe..

"Warrigul," called Sergeant Dalton
to the black tracker "look out for a
high, dry spot for the camp tonight. My
bunnion and those black clouds up there
say It's going to rain soon"
The aborigine rolled over Oh his back,
and for several minutes he scanned the
somber banks above Then he darted a

his elbow, facing the sergeant.
No rain, massa. Plenty dry spell

"How do you tell all this weather

May Have Been That Priyateer.

ST. Paul, July 15.-It is believed here
that the steamer Saga, belonging to a
syndicate of South Dakota capitalists.
was the mysterious craft which gave
rise a few days ago to stories from the
racine coast that a Spanish privateer
was IN that part of the world, lying in
wait for treasure laden ships from the
klondike
Inc Saga has just arrived at VAN
couVer, having been taken by its own
ers from Central American traffic to
engage in the Alaska trade. The vessel
IS Of foreign build, and as it carries the
nag of Holland some timid captain, see
ing the Saga at a distance while on his
way up the coast to Vancouver, doubt
less mistOok it for a Spanish privateer
and hastily carried the sensational news
to the nearest port.

RAG Sent to Honolulu.

San Francisco, July ia beautiful
American flag was sent by the steamer
Alameda to the Hawaiian chamber of
commerce to be unfolded at the cere-
mony Of raising the flag in that city. 1t
was the gift of the chamber of COM
merce of San Francisco. The state board
of trade has decided to send a commits
sion to the Hawaiian Islands to study
and report the best means to foster
trade between the islands and this
country, which will naturally be in
creased greatly by annexation. The
chamber Of commerce proposes to give
the Hawaiian commissioners public
reception on their arrival in this city.

THE ST. LOUIS SAILS,
Takes Cervera and Spanish Officers Dow,
to AnnannlIs

Portsmouth, N. f., July 15.-The big
auxiliary cruiser st. Louis. which was
anchored just below the island. finished
coaing and has sailed for League Is
land, Philadelphia. She had on board
all the surviving commissioned officers
of the wrecked Spanish fleet, with the
exception of four lieutenants, three SIR
geons two ensiens and two chaplains.
The chaplains were. at the request of
Admiral Cervera, left with the prisoners
here.
Since large majority of the prisoners
are Catholics, regular services for them
will be held on the island, beginning
next Sunday under the direction of the
two Spanish chaplains. If assistance
should be needed, the bishops of the
dioceses of Portland and Manchester
will see that such help is given. The
bishop of Portland has already visited
the place with Rev Father O'Calla CHAN
of Portsmouth.
The prisoners are fast regaining their
ordinary composure, although some Of
them have not yet got over the idea
that they are to be killed AS they note
from day to day the treatment they are
receiving that idea will soon be driven
out of their heads, The prisoners are
allowed to see every day the death
dealing preparations ready in case Of
an outbreak. Although not expected
such an outbreak is carefully guarded
against.
Some Of the prisoners have received
clothing from Paymaster Lewis as fast
as it could be forwarded and the re-
mainder win be fitted out and their old
dirty canvas suits will he burned. Be-
fore they receive their clothing they are
obliged to take a bath. The sanitary
rules will be enforced to the letter.
The Spanish surgeons who have been
left with the prisoners have established
quarters in the stockade. They are pa
rolled and allowed to go about the island
between the naval hospital and the
camp. The surgeons have reported that
the wounded are getting along as COM
fortably as possible. Several ca n be dis
charged from the hospital in a few days.
Twenty EIGHT marines. formerly men,
bers of the Brooklyn's crew. have been
added to the guard. Four more Calling
guns will also be placed around the
stockade.
Twenty new cases of climatic fever
an:ng the prisoners are reported. The
fever causes severe suffering for four or
five days, after which the men begin to
improve About half of the prisoners
have already passed through the ordeal
The disease is not considered conta
tious.
Work is still rushed on the prerara-
tons for the second installment of pris-
oners, which is expected to arrive on
the Harvard about Saturday noon. All
boats have been ordered to keep at
least 80 yards from the shore of the is
land on account of the swift tide of
the Pscataqua this order causes con-
siderable trouble to boatmen, who are
sending up a howl of protests.

Vil1RlnOus ImpOstOrs Who Accumu-
late Wealth by Pooling the
Charitable.

TOO ready an ear is bent to the APP
peals of the beggars, panhandlers and
impostors in this town" This obscrva-
ton, from a special agent oil a charit-
able institution, made to a New York
representative of the Dispatch, led to
a brief talk on these professional pests,
who along with the "old clothes man"
interfere considerably with the pleas
ures of the pedestrians by projecting a
shadow into his mental musings. Ac-
cording to this shadower of suspects,
several of the horrible examples of pow
erty one frequently encounters here
own a tenement or two and have fair
sized bank accounts. This does not
look like an exaggeration when it can
be truthfully stated that some of the
beggars who haunted the shopping
quarter for 20 or 30 years averaged ten
dollars a day. When one beggar on
Sixth avenue was arrested he offered
the policeman $50 for his freedom and
two a day thereafter for the privilege
Of pursuing his calling under police
protection. One clever retailer of hard
luck stories used to average IS to SIS
a night working the hotels. He owns a
comfortable little home over in Jersey.
One man who has been arrested many
times carries three signs under his
coat; ''Please Help the Blind, l." "Am
Deaf and Dumb" please Help q Poor
Cripple" The last is worn at night.
when ne doubles his hand up under his
sleeve, twists a leg and hobbies along
Broadway. He doesn't have snowballs
in winter. According TO the special
ngent one beggar discards his false leg
in daytime and works the shoppers.
At night he puts on his leg and dress
suit and attends the theater or visits
the roof garden. he has been seen in
the swell cafes, and nothing is too good
for him. Several Of the old experts In
this line have been driven off the
streets by the police, but enough re-
main TO keep the tender-hearted stran-
ger guessing. The deserving ones here
nre robbed Of large sum daily by the
men and women who have reduced beg
ring to a fine art and who are aided and
sbetted by the licensed tribe who sell
pencils, grind organs, play fiddles and
murder ballads in back yards-Pitts-
burgh Dispatch.

IMAGINARY WOES
They Work More Injury TO the
Health Than Real Labor OF
Drain or body.

Those who have given most thought
and study to the subject concur in the
testimony that = rs nos the work of
brain or body that kills, but the accom-
panying worries and anxieties, COM
bined with unphysiologica habits Of
life, that undermine the sensitive nerv-
GUS system and ruin the constitution.
And here an aggravating fact comes in
in nine cases out of ten the disquiet-
ing thoughts and carking cares which
are harbored and brooded over are en-
tirely unnecessary and frequently Inn
yinary. There are numberless kinds
of worry, and many people seem born
with n predisposition to it. When we
add to this hereditary diathesis the am
hitions and competitions for display,
for position, the multiplication of in
dividual wants, and the demands of an
increasingly complex home and society
life we cannot much wonder that this
field carries forebodings and restless
ness into the home circle, into places
Of business and pleasure, and robs the
spirit Of contentment, the mind of
peace, and the body of health. When
health is gone the portals are open yet
wider TO the entrance and the sway of
real and imaginary anxieties, cares and
ills. Under their influence the iudg-
ment often becomes warped, the viii
becomes weakened, the intellect
clouded. and the conscience morbid.
We cannot, undoubtedly, always con-
troll the circumstances of our lives, and
in the experience Of nearly all of MS
there are conditions to be endured and
cares to be borne for which we are not
responsible.-N. Y. Ledger.

THE HOME pREssMAKER.
Some suggestions az 10 the Proper
Materials and styles for the
Winter Season.

Women with sallow skins need warm
colors, as cherry pink, dark red, rich
brown, cream and rose, all of which axe
very fashionable.
The chief fall colors are brown, red,
bright national blue, cherry pink. tur-
quoise and gray. Black is very stylish,
and blsck and white combinations are
always in good taste.
Wedding costumes for December will
be Of satin, moire velours, tatfeta, nous
seline, China crepe, silSwarp wool
goods and the light weight, all wool
white materials, as well as white silk.
Large buttons are worn as ornaments
on dress waists, and the more quaint
the effect the better they are liked 10
tasten belts, etc. The two old brooches
that you have may be used in this man
ner as garnets are out of style as pins.
An inexpensive wrap for winter par
ties may be evolved from bright red la
dies cloth and lined with white cloth
of not so good a quality; have high
collar lined with white, and over the
chest a large gilt cord frog or orna-
ment
Dress skirts remain much as they
were last season in shape, elose-fitting
about the hips, of five cores, and four
yards wide. The shaped founce from
tan to fifteen inches deep, and even all
around rather than deeper at the back,
remains in vogue.
Petrifed wood can hardly be called q
jewel, though handles of it for umbrel-
las are very handsome and sold at Jew
elers'. The wood takes a high polish,
and somewhat resembles amber. 1t is
usually capped and banded with gold.
Such an umbrella costs from SIP to $40.
Silk shirt waists will be worn through
the winter, but a stock tie like the waist
will prove more appropriate to the sea-
son than collar of linen and a string
tie. Wear the tiny inch-wide collar
with the stock. which if bought at a
mems furnishing goods store win cost
$3.50 complete.
Neat travelling suits for brides not
blessed with an abundance of riches are
of cloth, Venetian or broadcloth, with
the jacket warmly interlined. With a
Jacket suit a silk shirt waist lined with
percaline is worn. A more expensive
cloth costume would be combined with
velvet and fur, and with it would be
worn a silk or cloth blouse if jacket is
worn, or q jacket blouse if fur cape
| is donned.
For stout figure a black net waist
will apparently reduce your size. but
you must not use the cross tucks; put
on lengthwise strips of black lace inser-
tion, and finish Off the lower edge with
narrow folds of black silk like your
skirt; the latter should be of five cores
with two tiny ruiies on the edge. but
avoid a design which is much trimmed
Have the collar of a band of brilliant
Jet and jeweled passementerie. or of vel
vet or tnffeta of bright color.
Dimensions of a seven-gored skirt
are: Tor the front a width of % inches
al the lower edge and eight at the top;
the first side gore IS sixteen and four
and the second one seventeen and fon
and a half inches; each back is nine
inches at the top and 2s1s at the lower
edge. The waist measurement for this
skirt would be % inches, and the entir,
width Of the skirt four yards. The
length of an average skirt is 40 inches
