Summer Shirt-Waists

This is where every woman
is tempted to extravaganza.
No matter how many she may
have, she is sure to want the
next pretty shirt-waist she
sees. So if you're trying to
save money you'd better not
come here and see these at
SI.25 and $3.50.
Handsome white waists for
less than usual, and a good
many sorts.
This year everything that
can be is pleated or hemstitch-
ed or trimmed with embroid-
cry. There are two kinds in
this lot. Some with flare cuffs
and some with shirt cuffs.
Fresh and crisp and ready to
put on.
Other styles, but of striped
glngham; great many colors;
81 to SI.5o.
WOmen's Short Skirts
Linen, $2.25; blue pique,
$3.50; imported, $3.50; and
white pique, S. and So.
And the Stafford" $4-we
used to call them golf skirts,
but golf is the least important
OF their uses. Women are
wearing them by the sea, in
the mountains, in the country,
for bicycle riding, and most
important of all they are wear
ing them on the street with
shlrt-waists and are going to
wear them.
But the Stafford" is the
latest and opens in the back
with the new fashioned plac-
quet under a pleat, SO that
there is no danger of its yawn-
ing.

The Kansas City platform condemns
and denounces the Philippine policy
of the present Administration and out
lines Democratic scheme for dealing
with the new possessions which gives
a fair idea of the party's imperialist"
doctrines. The platform in one para
graph says:
''The Filipinos cannot be citizens
without endangering our civilization;
they cannot be subjects without i'm
periiling our form of government, and
as we are not willing to surrender our
civilization or to convert the Republic
into an empire, we favor an immediate
declaration of the Nations purpose to
give to the Filipinos first a stable form
of government; second, independence,
and third, protection from outside in
reference, such as has been given for
nearly a century to the republics of
Central and South America.
In another paragraph this document
of pretended craftsmanship declares:
"We hold that the Constitution fol-
lows the flag and denounce the doc
trine that an Executive or Congress,
deriving their existence and their pow
ers from the Constitution, can exercise
lawful authority beyond it, in violation
of it."
If this last doctrine is true, how can
the Executive and Congress exercise
any authority to give the Filipinos
stable government, or independence,
or protection, or anything else but the
rule which, as citizens of the United
States, is their inalienable right under
the Constitution of the United States.

The breaking in two of China with a
broad and probably quite enduring
line of cleavage between its northern
and southern sections, says the New
York Tribune, promises to be of great
political advantage to the outside ma
tions concerned in her affairs, and ul-
timately not disadvantageous to China
herself. Complete reconstruction
awaits her as the price of her national
survival, and it is quite possible that
she may break up into half a dozen
States nominally independent, but con-
Quoted in some harmony with outside
influences instead of the opposition to
them which has always governed pig
tail policy. The country is too big and
populous to be ruled as a unit, but
properly directed might make pros
porous confederation of States like our
own, adopting Western arts and meth
ods as Japan has done, thus taking her
proper place in the line of nations.
She now stands at the turning of the
ways, with destiny beside her pointing
her direction along ways of the prog
ress new to her, but to be marched over
whether she likes it or not.

THE New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger gives the follow
ing incident of the way it works with
Trusts:
"What has happened lately in the
rattan trade is an object lesson of the
way natural laws of trade will deal
with all trusts. The Haywood Bros.
& Wakefield Company enjoyed mo-
nopoly of the cane trade in this cOun-
try. In the past two years it has ad-
vanced prices and has practically dc
tated terms to all its customers. What
has been the result? Without waiting
for new laws to be enacted to remedy
the evils of trusts, some of the custo-
mers of the Haywood Bros. & Wake
field Company took matters into their
hands, and applied a remedy of their
own. The largest customers of rattan
are furniture manufacturers, and some
of the largest of these have lately Or
ganized cane company of their own
in opposition to the trust. Subscrib-
ing an ample capital, they are produc-
ing enough rattan to supply all of the
necessities, and even to sell to the
public a considerable quantity of the
product. The result of this COM
petition has been decline in the price
of cane. The names of the furniture
men who have gone into this opposi-
tion are not made public, which rem
ders the competition all the more mys-
terious and uncertain. Time will
doubtless work out the same remedy
for all the trusts
So it will happen with the sugar
trust, or is happening, for number Of
capitalists have secured charter from
Trenton to start arefnery to be located
in New Jersey near New York, that
will be check on the charges of the
Havemeyer and Arbuckle Companies
in their output of sugar.

The Philadelphia Record, in dis
cussing signs of depression in the cot
ton goods trade says:
THE cotton goods trade situation
has assumed very unsatisfactory as
pect. Higher cost raw material, low
stocks of cotton in many localities in
the South, declining prices for manu-
factured goods brought about by halt
ing demand and distrust in the future
of values, and a sudden check to the
export trade consequent upon the trou-
BILE in China have produced conditions
which are discouraging to manufacture
ers and which seriously menace the
prosperity of the industry. There is @
disposition among exporting firms to
obtain release from large contracts re-
Gently entered into for brown cottens
to be shipped to China, and the feai
that these goods may be thrown on the
home market in addition to the regu
lar production for domestic uses is I
disturbing factor in the situation.

The nomination for President and
Vice President Of the three great po-
litical parties, Woolley and Metcalf, of
the Prohibitionists; Mckinley and
Roosevelt, of the Republicans, and
Bryan and Stevenson, of the Demo.
Gratis. brings the people face to face
with great questions of Governmental
policies, that must be settled for the
ensuing four years, next November.
The name of Bryan was as distinctly
settled weeks ago for the Demo
Gratis as was that of Mckinley for the
Republicans. The nomination of Adlai
4. Stevenson, of Illinois, for Vice
President by the Democratic Ma
tional Convention is probably as
favorable an outcome of the tangled
situation as could have been reached.
David B. Hills name on the ticket
with Mr.. Bryan's might have helped
the party little in the East, although
not materially, but his selection after
his fight against the free silver plank
would not have been consistent Oh
pleasing to the head of the ticket. The
nomination of Mr.. Towne would have
made the Democratic ticket too thor.
oughly Populistic. And no other man
was seriously in the race. The sin.
gular feature in reference to these
choices is the number of national Dem.
ocrats who kept quiet in reference to
Bryan and 16 to l, before the conven.
tion, who now declare they cannot sup.
port him on such a platform.

The State Capital Press and not
State Capital, as announced, is the
name of the new paper in Dover, a
copy of which came TO hand yesterday.
1t is the press and type of what used
to be the Democrat in Milford. Henry
Wilkinson continues the publisher,
but it is understood that John W.
Hawkins, Esq. is the political man
ager. The editor announces in his
greeting" that ''the State Capital
Press is a Democratic paper in the
broadest and strongest sense of the
word" and, "that it will unreservedly
support every candidate of the party
when nominated under party rules -
1t is an unquestioned Kenney paper.
Why the necessity of concentrating
three Democratic papers in a town the
size of Dover, is one of the mysteries
of newspaperdom that the patrons
themselves will have to solve.

A Woman,a WIZ

Gen. Hazen, the first head of the
weather bureau In Washington, found
it almost impossible to persuade the
members Of Congress to vote for him
the necessary funds with which to car
ry out his plans. One spring, when the
appropriation had ben shamefully cut
down by the economy loving chairman
Of the committee, Mrs. Hazen was the
guest at an after-dinner reception at
the house Of one of the Cabinet men,
bers, where the most detestable and I'M
endurable weather, untimely and un-
looked for, was the topic of the mo-
ment. AS Mrs. Hazen crossed the room
to make her adieus she was waylaid by
the chairman Of the offending commit
tee, who accosted her thus: well.
Mrs. Hazen, is this the best your hus-
band can do for us in the way of wealth

Hard Shoes in Service.

1t is said that each war brings out &
demand for quite crop of chiropod-
lists, or corn doctors. This is due to the
poor quality of shoes soldiers generally
wear. Most of these shoes are furnish
ed by some contractor, who cares little
for the comfort his goods give, and they
are stiff and poorly shaped, thus caus-
Ing much suffering among the troops.
People who are experienced in such
matters say that going barefoot for
day Is preferable to wearing the hard
unwieldy shoes that are given the men
when on the march. Napoleon, who
was great general in little things as
well as big, never neglected the details
to his mems dress, and he
always tried to get them comfortable
shoes. Statistics show that a larger
percentage of shoemakers are enlisted
among soldiers than from any other
trade, but they usually have to fight in,
stead of cobble. The regimental corr
1octor is one of the most popular army

LIFE IN A BOARDING HOUSE.
Ten Years of the Table Talk Likely tn

Ten Years of the Table Talk Likely to
| Cause Insanity.
A recent writer on women's occuna.
tions accounts for the permanence of
the boarding house as a social institu-
ton by reference to this powerful
impulse Of the human breast: I'm a
boarding house." says she, "you can
obtain mustard plaster and a Gun of
palatable cruel and a warm iron for
taking spot out Of a velvet gown.
ALI these things are dear to boarder."
They create "a home feeling which the
hungry heart of the hotel dwelIer
misses"
This is true. but 1t is not whole truth.
and it is unfair to the boarder. saws
the New York Commercial-Advertise
Deservedfy priced as are the mustard
plaster and the warm iron, they are
not the only. or even the main, things
that give the boarder that homelike
glow. 1t Is the conversation of the
boarding house table that holds him
and thrills him and keeps his feelings
young and homelike. One should not
overlook the spiritual side. Never a
meal without its cheerful greeting and
kindly weather talk. Not even il he
would, could he be left out of those
genial discussions beginning with:
"See by the paper we're going to have
snow"
No one ever feels neglected in
boarding house. No one ever has any
hungry-hearted hotel lonesomeness
about him there. II he detects any
