FASHION NOTES.

The wash wrapper has come again to
the fore in popularity for home and
morning wear In It's new form it strikes
a comfortable medium between a tea
gown and a kimonO. The material Of
which it is made Is percales chambray,
cambria and printed lawn. 1t is gener-
ally cut with a square or pointed yoke
and d Spanish fiounce. Sometimes a ruff
fed bertha is arranged about the Shout
ders. edged with embroidery on cambria,
or with lace on lawn.
The skirt chemise is a novelty In lin
gerie which will find favor with many
young women. 1t has a low cut bodice,
without sleeves, of aIl-over embroidery,
tied up on the shoulders with loops Of
wash ribbon. The short skirt part is of
India or China silk, in white or a color to
match the shoulder ribbons, and is ac-
Gordon pleated and scanned on to the
bodice with a band of insertion.
Independent wash skirts for little girls
are being sold in shops this season.
They are a very convenient mode, as
they are We'll made and shapely, and
form Il trim costume with any sort of
a shirt waist. They are to be had in
linen crash or Russian duck, IN staple
colors-cadet blue, navy, white and red
with polka dots or in plain shades; also
in piqae or tan and blue covert cloth.

The prospects of the hay crop in Min
nesota. except in n few of the south
eastern counties, are gloomy Cutting
has commenced in many localities, and,
as might be expected from the lack of
rain, the yield is very scanty In the
western part of the state the hay crop
will probably be a total failure: in fact.
in many parts of the state there is prac-
Ically no hay.
This condition viii bring the farmers
face to face with the problem of how to
provide feed for their stock until next
year. If there is an insufficient supply
of feed, part of the stock, particularly cat
tie, will have to be disposed of under
conditions which will entail loss to the
farmers. 1t will practically be forced
sale. This would be q great misfortune.
not only to the farmers themselves. but
to the state at large, and every effort
should be used to obviate the necessity for
doing so.
The suggestion has been made, and has
been adopted in some districts, of plant
Ing corn for fodder 1t is not too late
to do so,and the possibility of a sufficient
rainfall to bring the crops along is such
as to Justify the undertaking. A supply
of such fodder, with the chance of a small
crop Of hay in the fall, would enable
farmers to feed their cattle and save
them from heinz sacri6oo5

cheney of this country moreover, supply
a compelling reason for legislation which
will enable US to recover our former place
among the trade-carrying fleets of the
world"
Otherwise the platform. although badly
written and in poor English and without
angularity, conveys III a mild sort of a
driveling way the best ideas of the Re-
publican party.
There Is one thing that Republicans
everywhere are today rejoicing about.
Two of the best speeches ever delivered
on the American continent in the opening
of a great political campaign were Incl
dents of this convention, and Wolcotts
great speech. and the scholarly, compre-
hensive vigorous and angular declara-
tons of Lodge will be the platform of the
party in this country. Read those two
speeches and then read the platform and
you will see that they either struck away
from the platform or the platform ran
away from them.
Thank God for the speeches. They will
be the storehouse, the encyclopedia of
the campaign, and nobody will read the
platform after he has read the speeches.
Now, then, how about this whole bust
ness? Counting the result as great
triumph for Senator Hanna, at the be-
ginning OI lHO COtF cIlllOIl II may NC
that he would not have nominated Roose-
welt, but 1t resulted in this proposition
in the end. Roosevelt would not be
candidate unless nominated by acclama-
ton. He could not be nominated by ac-
clamation without the consent of Hanna.
Hanna, at the proper time and under
proper circumstances and conditions, gave
the word, and the convention followed
his suggestion.
The main factors that have grown out
of the convention are up to New
York. They are up to Mr.. Platt.
They are up to the dominating powers
of the Republican party in New York.
Why they were willing to sacrifice
Roosevelt is known to all men. In the
result that has been worked out almighty
responsibility has been assumed by the
New York machine.
When Mr. Platt's nomination for gov
ernor is made inquiry will go up from
every direction why Roosevelt was not
permitted to serve a second term, and
disagreeable results may flow from the
answer.
The next question which will be asked is,
is there such a necessity for a change
in the gOvernorship of New York as
would Justify all these performances, and
If so, what is the character Of the man
that PIatt viii nominate for congress?
These are little matters wholly in
| cfdent to New York politics, and 1 do
not care anything about them. 1 venture
TO say that the man who will be nomin-
ated will be one of the distinguished
Republicans of New York. 1 think
have him in my eye.
If I have there is no strafghter man,
no more honorable man in New York
than RPniamin r OdPll and If m a n
tie of the cowboy shall fall upon the
shoulders of the level-headed statesman
/ no harm can come to the people of the
state of New York. ,1s.e.~ 2

the fuller development, more complete
evolution and successful triumph of their

THOSE RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.


The two fatal railway accidents report
ed in these columns yesterday represent
two of the many conditions attending rail-
road administration which unavoidably
operate to produce disaster. The accident
on the Chicago & North Western illus
trates the grave responsibility which is
made to rest on railroad men Of every
grade at one period or another during
their service. and the extreme need CT
strong, vigilant and conscientious men in
every branch of railroad service. The &C
cident on the Southern railway, on the
other hand, helps to make it plain how
death and disaster are made inevitable
and unavoidable, beyond all thought of
human provision. In the first case mo-
ment's delay in the execution Of an order
resulted in the death and injury of NUM-
bers of human beings; while in the other
case forces which are beyond the control
Of human agencies drove train load of
passengers on to death In its most horri-
BILE form.
There will doubtless be a good deal of
public discussion of these distressing
events, and much criticism will be in
dulged in of the officials of the railroads
on which the accidents took place. But
the facts will remain unchanged, and 1t
will remain none the less apparent that
in view of the exacting demands which
the public service imposes on railroad ad
ministrators it is remarkable that such
unhappy events are indeed Of such rare
occurrence, comparatively.
AS long as men are human and even
momentariIy forgetful of their obligations
to others such accidents as that outside
Of Green Bay, Wis, will happen, and no
judgment of character In the selection of
railway employees or care, however thor
oughly exercised, will be sufficient to
guard against them 1t will probably be
found that the engineer whose delay in
removing that freight train from the
track was the immediate cause of the dis
aster was a skilled and capable man, with
years of faithful service behind him. II
may indeed be found that he was carrying
out his orders to the letter, and that the
failure or omission, trivial In itself, which
brought the disaster about cannot be
traced to any one specific individual.
But as the railroad calling is the most
exacting of all public employments, so the
public have a right to demand that the
most rigid care shall be taken for their
protection, and that such sad happenings
as those which marked Sunday so dis
astrously in two widely separated sections
of the country shall be rendered as nearly
impossible of occurrence as human fore
sight, ingenuity, skill and conscientious
devotion to duty can make them.

Christian Science Champion.

To the Editor OF the Globe:
In your issae Of May q you published
a dispatch from Topeka, Kan, in which
it is stated sthat the Masonic order Of
that city, pas ticdlariy the Knights Tenn
plars, were planning to prosecute the local
Christian Scientists as being responsible
for the death of Mrs JOHN M. Terrence.
[ have investigated this report and have
learned that's o5such threat was made,
and that the OILY action taken by the
MGsOns was TO make a kindly offer of as
sistance to the Surviving members of the
family.
Mr.. florence had died of typhoid fever
a few months prior to his wife's death
He had previously been healed of paraly-
sis. through Christian Science so as to be
able to go BACK TO business. and therefore
preferred t0erely upon the same treat

persuaded by hishfriends, he called a phy-
sician, under whose care he died.
