Congressman James Hay is the able
representative of the Seventh District
He is now serving his second term,
having for several years previous repre-
sented his district in the State Senate.
It is not likely that he will have any
opposition for denomination at the
Harrisonburg convention.
When Mr.. Hay was first sent 90 Con-
gross. the 55th. DO wss assigned to the
Committee on Military Affairs. Owing
to the war with Spain this committee
became a very important one, and his
colleagues on the committee and on the
floor Of the House practically placed him
Ia charge of the military legislation.
In the last Congress Mr.. Hay conducted
the fight against the bill for the stand
ing army, and was one Of the conferees
on the Hull bill. In the present Con-
gress he was made chairman Of the
Democratic caucus, his opponent for the
position being Hon. Thos. o. MoRae, Of
Arkansas, who had been a member Of
the House for sixteen years. In addi-
tion, and in recognition Of his eminent
services, he was again placed on the
Committee on Military Affairs. That
committee has been engaged continu-
ously since January up to the present
time in hearing the Idaho mining
troubles. and Mr.. Hay has been ap-
pointed on the subcommittee to draft
the report in that matter. When the
army reorganization bill passed the
Senate and came to the House 1t was re-.
ferred to the Military Committee, and
Mr.. Hay made the motion to have hear
ings on the bill. These hearings have
resulted in the defeat Of the bill, by
which was avoided permanent increase
of the regular army. Representative
Hay also made the motion for favor.
able report on the Fredericksburg Park
bill and reported the bill TO the House
from the committee.

Another Chain" Scheme.

Walbrook, a pretty suburb Of Balti'
more, Is to soon rival that Long Island
postoffice which last year was over
flooded with tons Of mail because q girl
had started an "endless chain" scheme.
The Government postal officials may
put q stop to all such schemes, because
of a recent adverse ruling by the De-
partment.
Walbrook's "chain" started through
a plan to raise an endowment fund Tor
Epiphany College, Catholic, which Is
located there, whose President has
undertaken the task Of collecting sew
eral hundred thousand dollars, or enough
of money TO secure an income that Will
provide for about 100 students.
The daily arrivals would be enough
to keep the ..ostofice Of a good'sizec

Mr. Swanson will stand for re-eleo'

the New York Sun. For outing pur-
poses and strictly morning wear there
are the plain taior-made waists of
madras and cheviot, with a French
back and box plat down the front,
but the dainty sheer lawns and soft
silks with their tucks and frills are so
much more attractive that the original
shirt waist Is quite eclipsed by the
more feminine variety. All over en-
broideries are used for white waists,
and in small designs of dots and BIRDS

the back and front.

Under American Supervision Natives Keep
Order In Manila.

Order In Manila.
Native police were all experiment
once in Manila. Now they are fix
ture. They carry their revolvers and
swing their clubs In an independent
manner, hold their heads high and
wear yellow shoes with all the dignity
of ono to the manner born. Colonel
Williston, the Provost Marshal, hesi-
tated long time before he would per-
init the natives to carry arms. But
at last Major Tiernan, who belongs to
the First Artillery by rights, and who
is Chief OF Police by virtue of his ap-
pointment and ability, persuaded the
Colonel TO select a small number of
the natives to patrol the streets that
were not as prominent as the Escoita
or as public as the Luneta.
Kahki, in different shade from
that worn by the soldier, was chosen
as the uniform. At first there was a
question as to how they should carry
something to enforce the laws of the
highway and the city. SO they were
given clubs. Now, q club is effective
80 long as IL is within reach of the
evil-doer. but as there was more or
less robbery going on among the ma
tives IL became necessity to arm the
police with something that would
shoot. That is how IL came about
that the native police were armed with
revolvers as large as those carried by
the American soldiers.
Each policeman wears cap, and
that gives him military air. His
uniform is tailor made and fits him
perfectly. The trousers are long
enough to reach below the tops of
yellow shoes and sometimes are
stuffed inside the lacings. On the
breast is silver badge showing a
number and precinct. The officers
are designated much as they are in
the army, either by stripes on the
sleeves or straps on the shoulders.
They travel out of their stations in
twos, one walking along each side Of
the street.
One thing these uniformed men do
Is to keep the streets clean Of all dirt
and refuse. A garbage wagon daily
comes along every street, the native
driver rings bell and the householder
is supposed to send servant out
with the days accumulation from the
kitchen and the stable. It is one OF
the duties OF the police to see that
the caraboa cart is not kept waiting
too long at the door.
The men composing the force are
brave. They have been compelled to
rush into houses where robbers were

A Forecast of summer Styles,

Red foulards and challies promise
to be even more popular this summer
than the blues that have so long held
their own. The model shown in the
large engraving reproduced from the
New York Sun represents frock in
figured red foulard. The long, plain
skirt falls in ample fields and has an
overtunic with pointed tablier front.
The tunic is edged all round with a
broad band of white Cluny lace. A
broad godet plait headed by long
narrow lace insertion raises this tunic
at either side. The bolero is in red
velvet yelled with old guipure that ex-
tends upon the shoulders so as to
form jockey sleeves. At one side
droops lace lapel over which the
bolero fastens with single big but
ton. The sleeves have a cuff GORE.
spending to the "jockey- sleeve" at
the shoulder. Red velvet forms the
folded belt. The underblouse, of
black silk muslin over green silk, is
in artistic contrast to the red OF the
velvet and silk. Small tabs OF red
velvet finish the stock, in the back.
At the throat is bow in white tulle.

puggaree muslin are the usual trim
ming, with punches of cocks feathers
or dropping pheasant's plumes, which
have replaced last summers stiff
eagles quills.

twists of tulle and spreading wings.
An outing hat of khaki in a fiat
beret shape, with two quilts passing
through the khaki from side to side,
one on the crown, the other through

clasp in strass. At the side, close to
the hair, is looped rosette OF khaki
colored ribbon.
Nearly all hats are arranged to
match the neckwear and the parasol.
With a blouse in green and mauve
will be worn, for example. a green
straw hat, whose brin is lined with
fine mauve hyacinths, close set. The
parasol, if possible, will be covered
with silk like that OF the blouse.

these forts, the mysterious battery To-
cations. When the forts were build
ing workmen employed on one part Of
the structures were not allowed to
work on another part. Sentries were
posted at all the entrances. Knowl-
edge of the details of the work was
kept from all but the president and
the commanding officers.
In external appearance the seven
forts are alike. They have masonry
faces, with earthwork which covers
their fronts to great depth. Pile
upon pile of sandbags are stacked up
wherever shells from the en- emy might
strike. There are many hidden re-
cesses, secret passages, complete tele-
phone onnections-not only with each
other, but with government buildings
in Pretoria. Searchlights are mounted
in each structure so as to command
the surrounding country at night. The
magazines are underground and are
reported to be mined. Report has it
also that the near approaches are mined
and that the electrical construction is
such that considerable portions of an
enemy's army might be blown into
eternity before surrender came. For
food, in the event of siege, enormous
quantities of maize have been accu-
mulated-enough, it is said, to feed
the army and the population of Pre-
toria for five years. The supply of
ammunition is calculated to be suf-
ficient for two years.
The center of the system of forts
lies about 5000 feet to the westward
of the northern end of Pretoria, and
has radius of something more than
1000 yards. The center OF the city is
only about IL, 900 feet, nearly due
south, on the fort on Signal Hill,
which is about 40S feet above the
plain on the west side of the railway
to Johannesburg, and about $4,000
feet from the fort on the hill to the
east of the railway and the Aapies
River running to the north. Between
this fort and the river are the foun-
tains that furnish the water supply of
Pretoria. The distance between the
forts on either side of the railway is
TOO feet. The railway station, where
the lines from johannesburg on the
south, Delagoa Bay on the east and
Petersburg on the north form their
junction, is Immediately outside the
city on the south side. The railway
to Petersburg, after winding some
distance to the westward, passes Out

The Beers call the ranges about Pre-
toria Magalies. The town was laid
out after 1886 by them, and named
after Pretorius, one Of their first and
strongest leaders. He was the first
President Of the Republic and Com
mandant General of their!army. The
real growth of the town did not COM
mence until after the victory at Majuba
Hill in 1881. johannesburg is the
center and home of the Uitlanders-
the nervous, adventurous element OF
the Transvaal. But Pretoria is es-
sentially the center of the pastoral
Beers. Tropical flowers and plants
cover the valley in which it lies, aud
willows grow in every direction.
Nearly oil of the buildings are white
in color. On the dome of the capitol
is golden statue Of Liberty. The
Witwatersrand mines, which yield
800, 900, 900 annually, are but short
distance from the capitol. Howard
@. Hillegas, in Harper's, mentions the
universal prevalence of the bicycle in
Pretoria, of the telephone and the
electric car. The Boer congress-the
volksraad-meets at Pretoria, and
President Kruger has lived there for
fifteen years. American goods are
largely in evidence in the shops OF the
town, and the American shopman is
already there in large numbers. Pre-

at work. More than one has been
carried away to the hospital badly
wounded in the fights which have fol-
owed. Besides this they have the
confidence of the natives and have
been able to inform the officials of dan
yerous plots or the presence of insur-
gent agents.
All this has resulted in the appoint.
ment of more native policemen and
the establishment of more stations.
Colonel Williston is satisfied that the
experiment has proved a success.
Among other things it shows that the
work of reconstruction will be made
easy, for there is growing confidence
in the ability OF the native to admin.
ister his own affairs.

toria does not and has not encouraged
the presence of Englishmen, but Ger
mans and Frenchmen are welcomed.
The streets are broad and clean, the
water supply fine and ample.
In spite of its bloody war with Great
Britain the South African Republic
had time to plan and complete build
ing at the Paris Exposition and to
make ii ready for the Transvaal ex-
hibit. Every visitor to the great ex-
position will be specially interested in
this display. The chief feature of the
exhibit is collection OF native min
erals, including the gold ores Of the
Rand and uncut diamonds. The ex-
hibit also contains specimens Of the
agricultural industry OF the Transvaal,
such as fruits and cereals. A collec.
tion of hunting trophies, including
the skins of lions, leopards and other
wild animals, shows what the Beers
have had to encounter in their marches
north through the wilderness. The
building has two stories, with q GEN.
trail tower and cupolas on the corners.

precipitous banks of Aapies River,
the narrow gorges-so few in number
the innumerable "spion" or lookout
kopjes that seem literally to leap from
the bosom OF the plain and suddenly,
silently oppose access to the capital
city.
You look up to the mountain fronts
as your train struggles to find its way
into Pretoria and wherever the eye
rests there appears to be the lines of
fNxt, redoubt, the front of masked
Tries or the domes of bomp. proof
de and cannon pits. To the north,
east, west and south these engirdle
I the city. They command the few
very few-narrow entrances to Pre-
toria. They watch like great dogs
the dusty, sun-rotted-veldt over which
any English troops coming from the
south must pass. They blink at the
ore railroad to johann esburg,and the
one to Lorenzo Marques. They ce
the north at Winderboom and guard
tho ways to Beorsheba, Hebron and

with purpose. Captain Schiel, now
as English prisoner, constructed the
one at Daspoort from plans obtained
in Berlin. He brought special assist
