J" stop THEFT"

II is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry OF
!" topttaiefll and 50 putting the pubic
on false scent.
There is a certain kind of advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
of his tricks is to tell women that it's
esrevolting' TO write to man IN con-
sultatien about disease. Women
should write to woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
TO write for advice, and IS carefully
worded to convey the idea that the adj
vice offered is that of physician. But
a close examination shows that there IS
no PHYSICIANS advice offered and the
whole clamor of write TO woman
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice is not
doctor, and therefore not competent to
give medical advice
For the advice of an unqualified
woman Is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.

Washington, Aug. 9.--"Gentlemen,
burn plenty of red fire. That was
President McKinley's emphatic admon-
ishment to the representatives of the
citizens of the district when they called
to consult with him regarding the ar
rangements for the reception to Admiral
Dewey upon his arrival in Washington.
When the chief executive of the nation
views the city on the night of Dewey
day he will find that his injunction has
been carried out faithfully. That will
be most memorably night. Admiral
Dewey will be escorted to the capitol on
the day the nations sword is to be pre-
sented to him by a committee.
That night there will be a monster
parade. Every organization in the dis
trict will be invited to participate Ev-
cry military body, all the civic, frater-
nal. patriotic, social and benevolent So

considered. There will be large, num-,
ber of tin holders secured so that the
red fire can be safely burned during,the
passing of the parade. Their holders
will be large pans attached to arms, at
the end of which will be strong clamps
that will permit their being attached to
lamp posts, electric light posts, tee-
graph poles, awning posts and trees.
The red fire will be placed in. the pans
and lighted as the parade approaches.
The citizens along the line of the pa
rade will be urged to illuminate and
decorate their premises. The gas COM
pany and the electric company will be
asked to cooperate for the purpose or
making necessary connections with the
display of lighted designs, such as
stars. wreaths, flags and other appro-
pirate emblems in front of the premises

lar or two to make Dewey night memor-

Newport, Aug. 9.-The second run Oh
the New York Yacht club cruise from
Gardeners Bay to this port to-day,
distance of forty-t three miles. while full
of interesting brushes, was not quite as
satisfactory as the first one, for while
the yachts ran the last half of the for
ty-three miles in a constantly increas-
ing southwest breeze, the first half of
the day was fluky and many boat re-
ceived more than due credit for SEEM
ingly glorious victory. 1t is no dispar-
agement toward the new cup defender
Columbia to say that her defeat of the
Defender by over twenty-five minutes
was due more to bad judgment and
hard luck of the latter boat, which left
her in soft spot, than to actual su-
periority. Still, the new boat showed
herself very able in broad reach with
constantly increasing breeze, and it is
not too much to say that she made an
average of fully thirteen knots in the
run along shore from Watch Hill to
Point Judith. So rapidly did she drop
the Defender that when she gbed
round the wbistling buoy off Point Ju-
dith her rival was hull down to the
westward over five miles astern.
