1t is interesting to note, says the
Providence Journal. that the Calves.
ton authorities have returned the ship
load of corn meal sent by the trans
port Mcpherson, on the ground that it
will not keep in that city. There are
those who will wonder why the au-
thorities thought of keeping it. 1t
was supposed to be for immediate dis
tribution to starving people. The
inference must be drawn that the
need of it was not as great as was
believed. But the real lesson of the
news is that the use of corn meal in
warm countries may always be some
what limited. If our own American
maize will not serve as a suitable ar
tiole Of food when manufactured into
meal, in parts of the United States,
what hope is there that it can ever be
useful In checking famine abroad in
the tropical belt?

The supreme court of Mississippi has
decided very interesting contested
mir R.w,ra FOR will case that has
been hanging fire
"s' for several years in
favor of the plaintiff. Many years
ago, says southern contemporary,
wealthy farmer named Bourbon Shot
well died in. this county, leaving two
sons. One of the sons was very much
dissipated, and the old gentleman in
serted a provision in the will to the
effect that he should inherit a share OF
the estate only in the event that he re-
manned sober for term of five years.
The young man went to the Delta coun-
try, sobered up and became rich on
his own account. In the meantime the
estate of the father had been divided up
and sold by the other brother. After
20 years silence the dissipated brother
turned up and demanded his share.
He proved that he had remained sober
and had lived moral, upright life for
more than the five years, and the court
decides that he may recover.

Costumes of sardinians

The women of Sardinia are described
by visitor to that island as being of
elegant figure and graceful carriage
with large black eyes, dark hair and
brunette complexion. They dress in
very much the same style as women in
other parts of Europe, except that there
is not the same extreme haste to adopt
the latest fashion. The wives and
daughters Of the farmers and trades
men by the gorgeousness Of their cos
tunes amply compensate for the sim
plicity Of dress among the upper
classes, and at their religious fetes and
other festivals, when they appear in
gala dress, they present wonderful
spectacle. These costumes are a sort
of heirloom, handed down from mother
to daughter and treasured as highly as
hereditary jewels or ancestral por
traits. The fashion never changes. and
instead of being ashamed of being seen
in the same dress at two different en-
tertainments, they glory in its antiquity
and in the number Of occasions it has
been worn. The costumes of the wo-
men vary greatly in different parts of
Sardinia. In some districts a small
black jacket, open in the front, is worn
over very short bodice of bright-col-
ored silk and brocade, which is loosely
laced before and cut rather low: there
are apparently no corsets. The netti-
coat is of light brown cloth, very full,
and between it and the bodice is a sort
of neutral ground of protruding gar
ment. which by no means adds to the
general beauty of the toilet.-St. Louis

TREATY Is RATIFIED.
THE SENATE VOTES TO ACCEPT
AMENDED AGREEMENT.
Hay-Pauncefote Isthmianf Canal Pacs
Now Provides for the Abrogation or
the Clayton BuIwer Treaty, Made
Fifty Years Ago.

By a vote of SO to 10 the Senate Thurs
day ratified the Hay-Pauncefote ISM
milan canal treaty. All amendments eX-
cept those proposed by the foreign rela-
lions committee were voted down. Inc
two committee amendments, one abrogat-
Ing all of the Clayton-Buiwer treaty
and the other refusing to invite other
powers to ''adhere" to this treaty, were
adopted. Upon the final roll eau slA
votes in excess of the number neeoeo 70
ratify were cast for the convention.
The fifty-five votes for the treaty were
made up as follows: Forty-two Repupii-
cans. eleven Democrats, one lndepen
dent (Jones, Nev.), and one Fusion Nlur
ner, Wash.).
Tn one sense the result is counted an
administration victory. For week the
efforts of the friends of the treaty ana
Of the President and Secretary of State
have been devoted to securing ratinca-
ton without amendments so OBNOXIOUS
as to compel the President to refuse 70
submit the treaty to Great Britain. Al
ministration Senators claim that aIter
all the treaty has not been seriously
changed by the Senate. Ihe LAWS
amendment, they claim, gives power
which the United States would IN any
event have exercised in case OF great
emergency. If the national defense re-
ouires the closing Of the canal to an
enemy's ships, these Senators argue that
we should have exercised the power and
the right to close it, as all treaties are
abrogated by war.
The failure of the Senate to secure TO
the United States the right to erect per-
manent Notifications, it is claimed, leaves
the great principle Of the treaty In force.
In like vein it is argued that the abroga-
ton and no invitation to adhere amend
ments put in are of small consequence.
On the toher hand, Senators who IA
vored an all-American canal claim they
have won a decided victory. The right
to close the canal against an enemy's
ships is the principal thing they have
been struggling for, and that they have
secured They have also abrogated the
remnants of the old compact and thus
gained for the United States free hand
| in Central America. Again, they derive
satisfaction from the fact that the Unit
ed States is not now to go to other pow
ers and ask their consent to the construc-
ton of an American waterway. Thus
both sides appear to be reasonably well
satisfied

CHAPTER ".

The cause of liberty seemed hopeless.
The capture of Burgoyne's army at Sara
toga gave one CLEAN Of hope to the pat
riots, but even that wonderful victory
had its disadvantages. By course Of
fortuitous circumstances, either the re-
suit of blunder or fate, an incompetent
and meddlesome officer received the hon
or of the capture, giving him a promi-
nence he did not deserve, and making
him dangerous opponent for Washing
tons position.
The retreat of the Americans from the
battlefield at Germantown at the mo-
ment when victory seemed about, to be
secured to them did not cause the Cont
mental Congress nor masses of people to
blame either Washington or his general
officers. A heavy fog which produced so
much uncertainty in the movement of
troops had been the chief cause of the
panic and fight, and Congress, justly
considering all things, passed a vote of
thanks to the commander-in-chief for his
wise and well-considered attack and
to the Officers and soldiers of the army
for their brave exertions on that occa-
sion."
A few days after the battle Lord
Howe's fleet anchored at the mouth of
the Delaware. After desperate fighting,
Forts Mercer and Miffiin fell into the
hands of the enemy, and Washington.

A YEAR OF DISASTER.
An Aggregate of ST. ,OOO,OOO,OOO Lost
at Sea During 1900.

An Aggregate of ST., OOO,OOO,OOO Lost
at Sea During 1900.
Since the establishment of the hydro
graphic Office at Washington there has
been no record of maritime disasters so
appalling as the one for the present
year. The report for 1900, which will
be issued by this office shortly after the
close Of the present year, will be mar
rative Of collisions, explosions, wrecks
and in fact, Of all the dangers to which
the men who go down to the sea In
ships are exposed. 1t will show that
almost 400 craft of every description
have been lost in the Atlantic ocean with
in a short space of twelve months, and
that the damages will aggregate $1,000
100000
The number of ocean steamers lost
has been Of course source of great
concern to ship owners. To the more
thoughtful it means that within the
next few years steps will be taken to
secure greater safety to passengers and
freight shippers Nearly every steamer
lost has been well equipped with machin-
cry Of the latest pattern and manned by
a large crew, but although navigation
has reached its present high state of de-
velopment, it does not seem able to cope
successfully with the mighty power of the
elements. The terrible storms arising in
the West Indies are strangely enough
coming farther north every year, and
these, their violence little abated by the
long distance traversed, are greatly fear
ed by sailors. Fogs, hidden rocks and
collisions are other causes Of this enor-
nous destruction.
