In England the political organizations have member ship of about 25,0O0, and the trades unions 1,600,000, not all of whom, how ever, can be regarded as Social Demo- cratic votes In 1898 Belgium reported b34, 900 votes, and France. in the same year, reported 100000 for the four So- cialstic schools. In Austria, under the new law, some 800, 900 Social Democratic votes were cast, and in Hungary, where labor organizations of political char acter are forbidden, the membership of the party is computed at 100000.

That is rather disquieting news which comes from the Soldiers home near Hampton, Virginia. The appear ance oe yellow fever there at this time of the year means much trouble unless the disease can be controlled. There are 4000 veterans at the home and many of them are not in good condition to re- sist disease. And if the yellow fever flourishes there 1t will be hard to con- fine it there. Of course the most thorough and vigorous measures known to sanitary science will be promptly taken to prevent the spread of the dis ease. If they succeed 1t will be con- spicuous triumph oe science and skill. It is greatly to the interest of the whole country that they do succeed.

1S CAPTAIN WELLS SEES IF

| Captain H. G. Wells, of the Oregon
 volunteers, has arrived in San Francis
 co, and has evidently tried to tell the | truth, as he sees it, about the situation | in the Philippines. The result is inter- esting, and not wholly encouraging.
 Great progress, he says, has been made | towards the suppression of the insur- rectlon. It is untrue to say that it is as strong now as at the beginning and that the insurgents hold more territory of the island of Luzon than we do. In square miles they do hold, or more cor rectly speaking, we do not hold, the greater portion, but it is sparsely in-
 habted and uncultivated. The Ameri-
 can forces occupy the most valuable
 and densely populated section of the
 island and the insurgent forces are
 only on the outside of this district. The
 proper and just criticism of the stua-
 ton, Captain Wells adds, is that much
 less has been done than could have been
 done had more vigorous campaign
 been carried on, or probably would have
 been done had the proper understand
 ing of the situation been had by the ad-
 ministration and the American people at any time during the previous year.
 Concerning the round robin of the newspaper correspondents Captain
 Wells is of the opinion that the censor ship of cablegrams to the United States led the American people to believe that affairs in Luzon were worse than the facts and that there was desire to con- ceal the facts, He says of the corre- spondents: Their emasculated reports have necessarily conveyed wrong inn pression to the people of the United | states, yet 1t is 9 question whether their 1, Hong Kong dispatch has not also con- ! veyed wrong impression, the natural | inference drawn from it being that af- fairs there are in q much worse condi- | tion than is actually the case. There has been no time when correspondents could not use the mails freely, and any in their cablegrams from the work of the censor might easily have been corrected bv mail" And Captain Wells makes these assertions: The official dispatches have misled the people of the Unit Sd States as to the condition of affairs here, and this l have frequently men,

fellow had hopped between the tracks in search of food and, with the fearless ness common to his breed had waited until the car was almost upon him be- fore he decided that it was time to get out of the way. Having done the trick so often before he had evidently be- come careless, for he either misjudged the distance he had to fly to get out of the way of the car or else had misjudg- ed the time it would take the car to reach him. Any way, he pecled away cheerfully until the car was almost up- on him, when he started on his last journey. He miscalculated the distance, for the wheel of the car hit him and in a moment his head had been neatly taken off

FASHION NOTES.
A Concession to Comfort.

Many of the midsummer shirt waists for outing use are so made that the stiff linen collar and cuffs can be dis pensed with without too much lessen ing of their appearance of jaunty fresh ness. To low collar band an all- around linen collar is attached, one so low that comfort is secure. This col lar fastens at the back, and over it a lawn tie is worn in stock fashion; that is, it is started from the front, crossed at the back and brought around again to tie under the chin. These ties are just long enough to use in this fashion and tie into rather small bow. The ends brought back for the tie are mar

toned in my letters The administra- tion itself has been misled by them as is evident from the leisurely way in which it has provided the necessary troops and equipment for the suppress sion of the insurrection. The only campaigning season has been permitted to pass without adequate effort being made.
 It is not likely that Captain Wells will be called traitor or a little Amer ican by those who have objected to any thing like what he has said. Let us have the truth. We can stand that bet ter than we can stand being misled by censored news" and official dispatches.

rcwed as much as possible, so that the
 tie opens out in butterfly fashion. The effect is fresh and pretty, and almost all the misery of big stiff collar is re-
 moved. Then a couple of clean ties
 may be slipped in the jacket pocket or
 up the belt, and, moreover, the linen
 band, being entirely protected, does not
 soil as do high linen collars. Sleeves of
 such shirt waists are finished at the
 wrist with elastic and little frill
 That does not look ais well as cuffs do,
 but it is nicer than solled cuffs, and
 every one knows how difficult it is for the average girl to keep her cuffs fresh during whole days outing.
 Once the line between shirt waists and summer bodices is passed, there IS noticeable q tendency toward increased elaboration, rather than endorsement of greater simplicity The latest seasona- ble fancy bodices are quite as oompli- cated as any that have appeared in winter dress, and while a few out of any score of models will be too odd for beauty the average as to tastefulness is good. Entire novelty without too striking result is difficult to attain but it is accomplished in some exam ples and one of these desirable gar ments is sketched here. Its material was white pongee, yoke and high collar being figured pink and white silk In the body portion the pongee was cover ed with a trells work of bias bands of the white silk and black fish-net this being caught together with black silk cord loops and buttons. It was not the least of this waists recommendations that it employed both black and white. That combination is in high favor, and is especially abundant in highly vrouebt costumes FLORETTE.

 The student sat in the academy like Roebuck well enough though they used to play glood many jokes on him.

What is claimed to be the oldest brick in existence was recently exhibited at a meeting of the Academy des Inscrip- tions ct Belle Lettres of Paris by M. Henzey, the keeper of the Louvre. It is supposed to date from the fortieth century before Christ and was discov- cred at Tello the ancient Sirpulo in Chaldea, by the French archaeological de Sarzee. The brick in question was curved in shape, and, while it had been baked, it did not show any signs of having been pressed or moulded. The mark of the maker was merely the inn press of his thumb, and the specimen is without doubt one of the earliest marks of civilization ever discovered. As brick making is the earliest of the known arts, this particular piece must mark very nearly the dawn of civiliza- tion

He is a Salvataion Army off, cer, and was arrested and fined for beating a drum so as to disturb the peace The court, in it's opinion, says: Religious liberty does not include the right to introduce and carry out every scheme or purpose which persons see fit to claim as part of their religious system" The court holds that the pro- priety of the practices of religious as sociation or it's judgment as to the use of a drum as part of it's services have nothing to do with the case The streets, the court says, belong to the people, and the fact that the defend ants business was lawful did not justi- fly him in annoying the public.

COMMISSIONS So "highly injurious to
the health of the community" does the
eminent head of the University of Penn

should be prohibited by law"
Under these circumstances it is worth
the while of every housewife to employ
the very little care that is necessary to
keep so dangerous an element from the
food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking powder,
which is the only kind that should be
used, ought to cost about forty-five to
fifty cents a pound. Therefore. if you are
paying much less, something is wrong; if
you are paying twenty-five cents or less
per pound, the powder is certainly made
from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in mind
when purchasing baking powder.
