the mistakes. The breaks" are espec-
Tally numerous in the hat departments
where the customers take off theft hats
IN order to try on new ones. In many
cases shoppers with query, 'Will you
please show me some of the hats?' be-
come indignant and sharply reply that
they are not saleswomen, but prom

IN one of the most popular stores the

ALGER A HANDICAP.
English Press Declare the Secretary
the Blot on the Administration.

London, July 20.-The Standard this
morning, in an editorial article, regard
ing the resignation Of Secretary of War
AIger, says:
President NcKinIey's prompt accep-
lance of Secretary Ayers resignation
is equivalent to an admission that the
war department had been badly manag-
followed so quickly on the Manila cor
respondents round robin.
''Algerism is the great blot on the
Mckinley administration. 1t has given
the enemies of the imperialiSt policy the
most effective weapon that could have
been forged, and President Mckinley
can wrest it from them only by the ap-
pointment of a successor whose past
commands confidence"
The Times describes the resignation
as "a decided victory for public opinion
and public morals over political organ
iZetiOns- BY resigning Secretary Alger
has practically allowed judgment to go
against him by default and has relieved
the Mckinley administration from a re-
sponslbility that was assuming serious
proportions. It is the first and most
essential step toward the publication
of the Republican party, and, indeed, of
the whole political system of the United
States.
1T is for the citizens Of the United
States to take care that the removal OF
a superficial symptom does not divert
their attention from the root of the
mischief
The Daily News has similar editor
ial 1t says:
HE might have defed public opinion
to the last but that Mckinley means to
stand for a second term and has to be
on his good behavior with the eIector-
ate
The papers generally regard the resig-
nation as a prelude to a. vigorous policy
in the Philippines and the recall of Gen
eraI Otis

QUEER TREES FROMJAPAN.
New York Evening Post.1

An exhibition of Japanese floral ar
boreal plants is being held at the
American art galleries. To reproduce
a japanese garden plants and decora-
tons have been brought over, and some
are very rare specimens, many of them
being the oldest in existence.
Getsha girls, who came over with the
plants. pour tea in the garden, the en-
trance of which is like an old gateway
DECORATED with old stone ornaments.
The trees are nearly all dwarfed, this
being done by clipping the roots. In the
collection are a number of eVergreens,
ranging in age from 25 to 200 years, and
most of them are trained to the shape
of F'usiyama, the Japanese sacred
mountain. One evergreen is reputed to
be 1,100 years old, and the only one of
the kind in the world; it is only 10 feet
high, and weighs about a ton. One of
the beautiful specimens is the chi-Sho
or red maple; it is quite unlike any
maple of this country, having fine, small
leaves, and being of a delicate peach
blow tint. 1t is nine feet high
OF the remarkable specimens is a
piece OF mountain sponge about two feet
square, out of which there are growing
10 dwarf trees of different varieties
such as pine, cedar, evergreen and iuni-
per, some OF them only a few inches
high. curious and rare specimen is
the densihora pine The japanese, in
the training of this tree, have shown
their usual love for reversing the natur-
al order of things; the roots are nearly
all exposed and growing in the air
while the tree, instead of being sun
ported by the roots, really supports the
roots. The idea is to see just how little
root will keep the tree alive, with the
this tree may flourish with barely a
root.

FIGHTING OIL TRUST.
New Mexico Authorities Trying to En-
force an Inspection Law.

Santa Fe. n. NJ, July 20-War was to-
day declared on by the territory of New
Mexico against the Continental Oil com
Oil company The last legislature passed
laws appointing a commerce commission,
providing for the inspection of coal oil
and a certain Zee to be paid for this in
spection.
The Continental company has thus far
openly defied the law and today the COM
merce commission instructed Solicitor
General E. l.. Bartlett to proceed against
the company Both sides are anxious to
push the suit in order to get the United
ity of the law.
A Jury viii be waived in the district
court and the case viii be brought before
the territorial supreme court in August
and before the United States supreme
court in October.
There is considerable feeling against the
Oil company in the territory, as the retail
price Of 30 cents a gallon, charged for
coal oil, is deemed too high.
