NEW YORK, May 12.-The Spanish fleet
that made even the boldest bather shrink last
season, is no longer a bugbear to daunt the
spirit Of sprightly mermaids, and ia con-
sequence the manufacture Of the gayest Of
swimming dresses goes forward with a rush,
Are you going to have your water gown
made Of Dinard serge, Scotch wincey, or
English Jersey cloth? is what every woman
asks every other woman, for those are the
goods par excellence for bathing dresses.
In addition there are lowered French fan
nels that make an almost irresistible APP
peal, and a mohair with a white silk warp
that cannot be ignored.
Having selected any one of these re-
sponsible goods, bear in mind that 1t Is your
duty, as an ornamental, progressive woman,
to have your dress made up with a gored
skirt and smallish sleeves; and nobody has a

Some nico bathing outfits seen recently
consisted Of three pieces. a skirt and blouse
with stockings and drawers in one. 1t is
needless to say, perhaps, that the last mem
toned garment was but a pair of black
tights, covered the feet, woven with no open
ing save at the top where 1t was finished
by a belt full of button holes, thereby maxi
ing 1t fast to the blouse belt. Another style,
for women who do not wish any extra bulk
at the waist, consisted of tights and hose in
one, but woven with elastic wooden straps
that were slipped on the shoulders. Those
who have tried these new undergarments
pronounce them most comfortable for water
exercise.

BIRDS AND DOGS ron MARKET.
A South Carolina Young WOman's
Prosperous Undertaking.


One of the latest OF unusual avocations
entered upon by a woman is the raising and
training of native song birds. Miss Louise
Cheatam lives near the popular winter re-
sort of Aiken, S. c., and the idea was sug-
gested by the sale of a pet hooking bird.
This bird came to her through a negro boy
whom she caught robbing the parent nest.
The fledgling was the weakling of the flock
and for that reason the boy considered 1t
worthless and left it on the ground to die.
Miss Cheatam rescued and raised it, in
tending to free the little captive when it
could care for itself. But that time never
came, for no pet is more helpless than a
hooking bird reared in captivity.
The second winter of the birds life it was
purchased by a northern visitor to Aiken,
who, CHANGING to pass the house, heard 1t
singing. This sale gave the young woman
an idea which she was not slow to follow
and now she does a thriving business with
native song birds of the south. Miss
Cheatam, watching her chance, goes to the

walking skirts of the smart dresses all
fasten, and while the upper half Of the

and the laring half are in contrast of color
and united by handsome stitchlngs, or an
ornamental pattern is cut from light goods
and applied, by means of machine stitching,
where the upper and lower portions of the
skirt meet. A popular fancy is to cut the
upper part of a skirt of solid dark blue
goods and the deep iounce of white serge
picked out in blue dots. The blouse is cut
from the blue with n collar and sailor vest
OF dotted white flannel.
Water Waists.
An ordinary round, fioppy sailor blouse ne
longer satisfies the craving for an attractive
appearance on the sands and there Is a
respectable showing of waists made with
plain, easy French backs or what are called

goods, and the waist is then a most becom-
ing complicated affair.
Women who swim for swimming's sake oil
who battle for comfort, not appearances, are
having their dressmakers build regular shir

thus made on the shoulder by the turned
back sleeve, serves as a quaint finish, and
yet ut any time when protection against the
sun is needed the sleeve comes at once into
Use.
A bathing stocking with a foot reinforced
all around by three overlays Is one of the
good things Of this season, as well as the
pretty red, blue and yellow shoes that were
first evolved for the benefit of French
women at Troaville and elsewhere. They
are made of thin, but apparently very good
rubber, lined inside with a prepared skin Of
silk and shaped to At the foot like an Indian
moccasln with a coquetish bow over the in

without injury to their rubber composition,
but they are meant for assumption on COM

to move about dry shod into her own bath
house.
Beach Wraps.
Kimono shaped wraps of gray crash,
white, red or blue flannel, else brown or
white Turkish toweling are the bath robes
chosen for this summer. Whatever color is
used a facing of bright Turkey red stuff
runs down the fronts of the garments and
a sash of the same holds the robe about the
waist. The Kimono sleeves are also faced

bather. She either ties the big gay square

with the kerchief.
Nearly every woman this summer will
adorn her white throat, when she goes for
a dip, with one, two, or even five strings of
pretty glass beads, The beads may be
green or blue, cloudy and opalescent as
moonstones, or rosy as coral, else clear as

because they are always becoming and form

Cabinet. He is playing upon the weak
ness and indeci5ion of the President,
who hesitates to take the one step that
would rid the administration of its I'M
desirable member. In this respect AL
ger serves to show up the Presidents
character at it's true worth. There
have been presidents who would not
have hesitated to discipline a member
of the Cabinet who had proved himself
unworthy of public trust. Mckinley
is not one of them. He may stoop to
political trickery to gain his purpose,
but he will not openly request Ayers
resignation, nor in a manly, straight
forward fashion tell Alger he must go.
Alger knows the man he is dealing
with. That is why he stays in the

Nearly the whole of the enormous
increase in federal expenditure is un-
productive. 1t may be charged up to
militarism. Following sl~avishly in the
path of foreign nations whose policies
we used formerly to condemn. we are
spending millions on the army, mill
ions in building warships, millions in
building coast d~efenses, millions in ac-
quiring subject races to rule. And our
naval officers are clamoring for more
millions to build ships, to equip and
maintain coaling stations; and our
army officers are clamoring for millions
to buy new artillery, for millions to
pay for artillerymen to man our coast
defenses. This is one of the things
that miitarism means-it means i'm
poverishing internal affairs to pay for
external defenses. The peaceful func-
tons of government must be dwarfed
when militarism absorbs the proceeds
of taxation.

IT Is DIFFICULT TO SEE


how the Samoan commission has
greatly improved the Samoan situation.
The plan of a neutral governor assisted
by a representative from each of the
three treaty powers, involves the trip
artite principle, which has been the
source of all the discord heretofore.
Meantime the Samoans have been de-
prived of one of their rights guaran-
teed under the Berlin treaty, namely,
the right to choose a king. The Berlin
treaty will now have to be revised, and
when that is through with the Samoans
will be pretty thoroughly under for
eign control. If we could find a way
to decently withdraw from the trip
artite control it would be to the credit
of this country to travel in it. We
have a harbor and coaling station at
Pago-Pago, away from the seat of the
disturbance, and could very well be
content with that. AS for American
commercial interests in Samoa, they
are not worth as much as the trade of
a single one of the wholesale houses in
scores of small American cities. Apia
is a struggling country village of a
thousand or two people. Talk of war
over such triies only shows how much
trifes are priced by the jingoes as a
e of boosting their cause. Samoa
was our first ~entangling alliance; it
ought to be our last.

Decial Washington correspondence.

Special Washington Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July Tine
finances of the national government are
worth a passing notice, especially IN
view of the optimistic views expressed
by the Secretary of the treasury.
That official considers it a subject OF
Generalization that the treasury denclt
is no larger than it is. He estimated
SIP 600, 600 and it turns out only S30,-
O00. 600. 1t would have been the former
figure but for two things, the tax on
tea and the first payment on the sale
of the Central Pacific railroad, the first
netting about $4,000, 900 and the latter
S12. 0O0, 900. Increase in imports under
the Dinglev law accounts for the rest,
but it should be remembered that the
tax on tea, a tax on every human being
in the country, was not levied by the
Dingley law. but by the war revenue
act. and the proceeds should not be
credited to the former. The present de-
felt. of course, is a mere affair OF book
keeping. 1t does not have to be made
up by taxation, and only serves to show
that the administration is running on
borrowed capital. The deficit has been
paid out of the cash in the treasury,
put there by President Cleveland to
maintain the gold reserve. The bonds
must be redeemed some day, however,
and for this the Secretary OF the Tre9s-
ury is making no provision. Set apart
the $50, 000, 900 or more due the sink
ing fund last year and the deficit would
be s140, 600, 900.
THE M'KINLEY ADMINISTRATION
will go down into history renowned
for it's costliness and for the imposition
of high taxation upon the people. 1t
will cost all told 81, 200, 600, 900, twice
as much as Cleveland's first administra-
ton. $26.66 for each man, oma and
child in the country, or $133.30 for
every family of five. It's internal rev.
enue taxation alone amounts to more

ment during any one year of Cleve-
lands first administration. Moreover,
this enormous federal tax will continue
for the future. Not a dollar of taxation
will be lifted as long as Republicans
are in power. The war taxation must
continue. During the fiscal year 1899
the receipts of the national government
were $515, PIG, 745. The appropriations
made by Congress for the fiscal year
1900, exclusive of the postal service

it practically pays for itself-and the
