1t is time the term industrial
school" were given a different place in
our vocabulary from that of .'refor-
matory" Reformatories should indeed
be industrial schools, but the regular
state industrial schools should be
part of the public school system. Pro-
vision should be made for the techni-
cal instruction of every boy and girl
who desires it, IN the skilled use of
the hands. After a correct working
knowledge of the English language
which is the groundwork of all educa-
ton, there is nothing so important to
ing youth Of the state as that they
should know how best to make good
living. 1t is notorious that clerkships
in offices or stores, even many profess
s;sas. are far less remuneratlye tnan
the average trade that requires skl.leu
hands. The man that works with his
hands, and takes pride in his work and
in his trade, who has some regard
for his employers interest and a fair
endowment of moral stamina to resist
the temptations of gaming and drink
ing-that man is king today, he has
the world by the tial. and he has it in
himself to inspire that respect for hon
est worth that is the necessary COM
plement of the true dignity of labor"
Young men and women should be
taught these things. They should be
made to see that there is not only no
degradation in working with ones
hands. but that the world would adso-
lutely stop without these necessary
factors in it's progress. If any indi-
viduals fail to realize the response
bilities that rest upon them as workers
in the world. and Iail to comprehend
that no one will respect laborer if
the laborer does not respect himself.
it is their fault, not that of the world
or of the labor.

Some of the Filipinos are very much
exercised because the American COM
mission banished saloons from the
main plaza and the boulevard in Ma
Mia. Judge Taft has worked toward
this end every since he has been in
the islands, and now that the action
has been taken he is ready to tell ev-
erybody just why. He says that the
condition of the down town plazas and
principal streets has been disgraceful,
owing to the large number of low down
drinking joints. The ruling may be
a hardship to some, but it is not I'M
just The new license law provides
for separate drinking places for ma
tives. All saloons are forbidden to
sell liquor to soldiers, and they will
be required to close all day on Sun
day. 1t wouldn't be bad thing for

A MEDAL WORTH HAVING.

With a promptness, surprising because
so unusual, has the state department for
warded to Hugh r. Mayo Thorn of this
city a gold medal for heroic onduc In
saving a woman from drowning. There
vas no romance about the deed, no
beautiful maiden with her golden hair
hanging down her back who was sink
ing for the last time in the cold en-
brace of the crue' waters. On the con-
atrary, the rescued was an aged colored
woman, nearly blind and heNplessta
woman the heroic rescuer had never
seen before. Nor was the deed perform
,ed at a fashionable watering place, in the
presence of thousands of spectators, gaz-
ing with admiration and cheering till
their shouts and plaudits drowned the
noise of the loud-roa ing sea. It was
just the reverse. It a Virginia wharf, in
the darkness of a cold winter morning,
withonly a few steamer passengers TO see
what was going On, Mr.. Thorn risked his
life.
+, The medal is a hitting token of the ma
'tion's appreciation of sue a deed. The
hero will soon ad to the altar a beauti-
full bride. and among all the wedding
presents that will be received this golden
tribute to the husbands valor should be
given a place of honor.-Baltimore Amer

Probably the smallest seaman who ever
signed articles left New York last week
for Hong Kong aboard the four-masted
steel clipper Mozambique. He is Charlie
McCrone, a blue-eyed, ruddy-cheeked
Scotch hoy, 2 years and 10 months Old,
and is the son of the clippers skipper,
Capt. McCrone. He arrived in New York
aboard the Mozambique Oh Aug. q from
Hamburg, accompanied by his mother.
He was born at sea and revels in spoon
drift and the tumult of combers. His
mother told him that she was going back
to Scotland Inc asked him if he wouldn't
like to go along. He declined to give up
the ship. and SO she sailed for home
aboard a White Star liner and left the
little sea rover with his father. The boy
took leave of his mother as if she were
merely going across the North river in
stead of to the other side of the Atlantic.

Paris, September-Dame Fashion has
given the fluffy silk fall mantles the
go-by and has frankly declared herself
In favor of the long cloth coats for all
coming occasions. The smart women who
dine at the exposition now come cloaked
invariably in one of these long coats
from under which trail the frills and
ruches bordering the yet gauzy Cacino
gown. u
There is really but little difference be-
tween the plainest Of coats designed for
morning wear and the most elaborate
of them that are only to be worn with
evening toilettes. They are all cut on
the long flowing empire lines and are
built of the palest shades of gray and
beige cloth. OF uniform length, they
reach just half way between the knee
and ankle.
One of the distinguishing features Of
the evening coat is it's elaborate cream
guipure trimming. On the richest OF
these garments the guipure borders ex-
tend more than half way up the coat and
at each seam the narrow strips Of the
guipure follow the seam right up to the
top of the Medicis collar.
That the loose long coat has come to
stay right through the winter is proven
by the fact that Grunwalt, the celebrated
furrier, has chosen this identical model
for some of his handsomest wraps that
represent thousands Of dollars worth Of
skins
The approved automobile rig includes
a deep beige coat made either with a
long empire yoke or it is cut on strictly
box lines, with the seams all strapped.
When a stiff breeze makes it flare, one

sides being intensely becoming, these
voluminous automobile wells are the
greatest protection against sun, dust and

they boast no great show of frills and fur
they boast no great show of frills and
flrbelows. A typical model belonging to
this category was built of biscuit-colored
cloth. 1t sloped gradually away from the
bust line and described quite a rounded
point at the middle of the back. Three
shaped %flounces of the cloth followed the
edges of the coat, decreasing in width as
they neared the bust line. These were
stitched along the edges and lined like
the coat with brocaded white satin. The
upper part was ornamented with a triple
pointed cape that was slipped. under the
broad revers. Old blue velvet faced the
high turnover collar that topped a
flowing jabot of cream mousseline de
sole. The sleeves were close-fitting anu
| finished with bell-shaped cuffs that ex-
tended quite over the hand.
All of the latest coats show the infiu-
ence of the Aigion model. with it's capti-
waiting triple cape n faring mosque
taire cuffs. The little slip of a cape
shows itself in a thousand different
forms. More often it is circular in form
and finished with rows of stitching. In
