THE ALLIED NAMES IN CHINA

Admiral Hichborn in Golfers Weekly.
 There is now assembled in Chinese wa ters the greatest aggregation of naval force excepting the naval parade at the Queens Jubilee, that the world has ever seen, and a comparison of the elements which compose this force will doubtless prove interesting. The most powerful of these is the British feet which includes two first class battleships, the Centurion and Barheur, sister ships of 10,500 tons, having a speed of 1S1a knots per hour.
 There are now in Chinese waters or en route, not counting our fleet in the Phil ippines, 17i ships of war many of them the most powerful modern ships divided as to nationalities as follows:

BUsINEss AND THE NEGRO VOTE

From the Richmond Wa) Dispatch
 The explanation of the action of north capitalists interested in North Caro- lima mills is found in their recognition that the preservation of law and order the safety of the social and political fab ric, and the development to their fullest of the economic possibilities of the State and hence the security of their invest ments-demanded that the negro vote be eliminated.
 That's the story and the whole of 1.-the story that has been repeated over and over again at the south It is, indeed, rare that a northern man becomes financially inter- ested in this section, or if he be not q politician, makes his home among our peo- pie, that he is not quick to recognize that the great drawback to the south in the domain of her every interest has beer ue- gro suffrage.

KNOCK FOR THE CnArLEss MAN

From the ftdDerudSHeF
 Advising or sanctioning the abandon ment of the coat is to give countenance to one of the worst of all bad American habits. To preserve the esthetic and the artistic in dress one must leave the units of our cutter attire undisturbed. To separ- ate them is to leave a man half dressed. The man in his shirt sleeves is always the common and vulgar man. You'll find his kind leaning against the public bars, ex- pectorating in public conveyances and smoking in forbidden places We may not discard the court and preserve the rules of propriety and catholicism in dress. There can be no comparison between the dress of man and woman. A woman's shirt waist is merely a form of bodice, and it is an integral part of the outer dress of woman. A mans shirt is a distinctive garment and is not yart of his oversut. Aside from these objections we have the more serious one of appearance. It cannot be ''becom- ingly" carried out. There are not ten men in every thousand so built that they can go without suspenders. And unless the suspenders are to be banished there is no use in talking about abandoning the coat In no decent society, decent company or properly conducted hotels or theaters would man be permitted to appear with out his coat The coatless man must all ways be what he has always been a com mon, vulgar, undisciplined being, who puts personal ideas of comfort above the ideas of seemly conventionality.

Heavy Rains in Texas

Houston, Texas, Aug. 12-It has rained every day for thirty-one days in north, east and south Texas. and the effects of the deluge are beginning to be apparent. Rises are reported in the rivers, the Colorado be- ing g feet above low water mark at CoIum- bus. The ground is now saturated and can not hold more. The small streams are booming The cotton crop is becoming very rank in growth, and is shedding bolls badly there being a very small .ruitage. The wet weather is also conducive to pests, and there are numerous reports of the ray ages of insects in the sections named Wheat threshing has also been interrupted, and much of the grain spoiled by sprout- ing.

He Received a Fine Compliment

Senator Spooner of Wisconsin is one of the most eloquent men in the upper house, inimtable on the stump and credited with being able to do about as he pleases with his audiences, says a Washington corres- pondent. A friend and admirer who has known the Senator from boyhood is au- thority for the following story:
 Some years ago, when taking part in symposium in the northern part of the State, Senator Spooner was making an inn passoned appeal to his audience, in the midst of which the master of ceremonies touched him the shoulder and, pointing to the clock, indicated that his time had expired
 Quick as a flash a woman rose from her seat, and, mounting a chair in front of the clock, threw her shawl over it's face. amid the laughter and cheers of the audi ence, and to the dismay of the master of ceremonies. It is doubtful if Senator Spooner ever received a prettier compli- ment

Slightly Out os Wind

One Sunday the minister of a small northern country parish church had the misfortune to forget his sermon, and did not discover his boss till he reached the church, says a Glasgow correspondent. Suddenly an idea struck him. He sent for John, the beadle, and instructed him to give out the one hundred and nineteenth Psalm (containing II verses), while he hurried home for his sermon. On his Journey back to church he saw the faithful beadle stand ing at the church door waving his arms and urging him to hurry On reaching the door he exclaimed
 Are they all singing yet, Joan?'
 Aye, sir," replied John; they're at it yet, but they're cheepin' like sparries."

SENATOR CLARK,s CONTRIBUTIoNs= :

From the Charleston CW. Val Gazette.
 The Republicans hold up their hands in horror at the report that Senator Clark has made a substantial contribution to the Democratic campaign fund. They thought they had all the millionaires corralled and cannot understand how any got away. Clark makes his money out of good invest ments in mining property and owes the Re- publican party nothing for special privi- leges, do the greater number of wealthy men. He belongs to no trust, and is not looking to the Republican party for protec- tion and special legilation. Therefore, he is in a situation to be independent about his contribution to politics.

THE ALLIE, AND THE CHINaMEN

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Oh, I'm the boy to lead the dancer Exclaimed the man from La Belle France And I'm the lad to quell the mussn' Right gruffiy cried the hairy Russ. But if you'd see a fighting chap Just look at me!' announced the Jap You'll follow when I lead the hne.'' Spoke up the warrior from the Rhine. My drums for victry will be rolled!'' So loudly roared the Briton bold. Then jeering and sneerfng And growing and scowling, And boaslIng and roasting, And staring and daring, And bluffing and pufifng, And bragging and nagging And guying and prying,
 Each other defymg,
 The allies are lying in ancient Tien Tsin.

Could Not be Utilized

Utflitarians doubtless have their use in the world, but they rarely make sympa- thetic companions, relates the New York Tribune. Some time ago the eminent as tronomer, Professor Bos, bound for Eu- rope on the same steamer with a number of friends, gave popular talk one beau tiful starry night on the Milky Way, which was much enjoyed by his listeners, who were audibly expressing their approval, when suddenly, from the edge of the crowd, came a shrill voice:
 "But what is de use of it? Now, if I could only shove dose stars together so dey would spell Blanks Printing Ink would give den dousand dollars"

Eileen Cenis a 0av,

Dr. William R. Harper, president of the of the Rockefeller purse, understands the art of self-advertising even better than Brother Webster Davis, or Governor Roosevelt. He is not at present engaged in working the Rockefeller gold-oil vein, however; he is now living on b cents a day-for one week only. Baked potatoes and fried liver are the chief articles that are to furnish forth his family table while Davis, the apostle of fifteen cents a day, one of the University danes, has been ap- pointed director general of the Harper table, and all members of the family are to be put on short rations and Miss Davis menus
 The Davis menu has not to our knowl- edge been printed, nor are we told how much of the cooking is self-done, for plain AS 'AS NochiAiS etild SSI NlIS tllttIS lllO Us cost, and if the heroic Harper and the in- dominable Miss Davis propose to demon- strate that fifteen cents a day is a reason able maximum cost for feeding a human, they must show that all the elements of cost were included. Dr. Harper may, how ever, object to Miss Davis cooking and the cost of an extra cook should in that case be included
 ing in the matter on Dr. Edward Atkin- sons preserves. Long ago he demonstra- ted that cotton mill operatives in New England could live on much less than fifteen cents a day, and that they should therefore stop demanding higher wages Their wages should be reduced so ran his theory, to an approximation of his i'm proved reduction of living expenses A stubborn world refused to accept the At kinson theory, and it is feared that the Davis Harper theory will not fare much better unless they will consent to live the rest of their lives by it. For consistency's sake they should do this. Their figures and their logic will then have at least themselves as a backing
 Carrots and baked beans and soup and fried liver are excellent in theory, and all the world asks is, that the theorists will stick to them, not for a single week only, but to the end of their days. If they pro- pose to help humanity on the fifteen-cent plan, let them give themselves to the cause to the bitter end, and the whole world will applaud them for it. but it will never fmi tate them. But martyrs do not need imi- tators.

 CHINAMEN FOR PEACE

Shanghai Letter in New York Commercial
 Advertiser.
 With a view to ascertaining just how the natives feel here I have made two trips to the native city and talked with a number of Chinamen in tea shops and on the streets. I can assert positively that the Chinamen of this port do not want any trouble; they have no special liking for the foreigners, and many were morose and inclined to avoid conversation with me when others were about but I saw no signs whatever of hostile disposition. The Shanghai Chinaman is not fighting man; he dreads disorder and trouble almost as much as the foreigners do.

Armored Unarmored

No such naval force was ever before brought together in foreign waters.
 The Chinese navy of today does not in- clude any armored vessels, all of their former ships of this class having been de- stroyed or captured during the Chino Japanese war The two most important ships in the list are the Hai-Tien and Hail Chi, launched in England in 1897 and 1898, respectively. They sister ships of 4,300 tons, designed for extreme high speed, be- ing rated at twentyfour knots, with 17,o00 horsepower, but having a very limited radius of action The two s-inch guns are protected by six inches of arnlor and they have 5-ineh armored deck. Their remain ing battery consists of 10 4.7-nch guns, F 3-pounders and above-water torpedo tubes. Next to these come the Hai-Shew, Hai-Yung and Hai-Shen, launched in Ger many in 1897 and 1898, cruisers of 2,9e9 tons displacement, with a rated speed of 20 7-1o knots an hour. They are fitted with a g. incharmored deck and 2-inch gun shields. The battery consists of three 6-inch, eight 4-inch guns and six machine guns, and three submerged torpedo tubes. Besides these five ships the only vessel they have built since the war with Japan Is the Hail Ting of 2,2OO tons and 2,4OO horsepower, carrying two s-fnch and eight 47-nch guns and one torpedo tube, an enormous battery for her size. She was launched In England in 1895. China's older ships include eight small cruisers and one torpedo gunboat, ranging in size from 1000 to 2,5O0 tons, and in date of construction from 1882 to 1894. Two torpedo gunboats of high speed are un- der construction at Feochow

TWO METHODS

James M. Hubbard in National Geograph

1caI MagaZine.
 But are they united and animated by the single desire of driving out the for eign devils?" It does not seem to me that there is any evidence of this other than the mere assertion of writers who have apparently taken it for granted A united purpose impellng the ignorant myriads of Chinese, divided in speech and in habits of life and separated by vast distances, is inconceivable. Hatred of the foreigners is, I believe, in large measure confined to the ruling classes, whose powers and privil- eges are threatened by the new religion and the reforms which it brings with it.
