The G. bert cottage ie a little dis
tance up the beach and is located at
Arundel-on the Bay. 1t is one OF the
prettiest cottages on the beach. The
COIberts are capital entertainers ar d
are often taxed to accommodate their
many friends and patrons who visit
them during the heated term. Next to
the Colbert cottage are the tents DR..
A NJ Curtis and family. These tents
are so cool and look so inviting that
one feels like he would like to remain
there forever. There are four tents ar
ranged according to the ideas Of Mrs.
Curtis in a most attractive manner.
An American flag embOsses the front
Of the Colbert cottage and the tents
and makes the whole place look very
attractive. The flag is the hsndiwOrk

An Explanation.

The statement made in The G. lOred
American of August 3fd concerning
Mr.. George Bagwell who was charged
with stealing $s2 from Prof N. e
W Gather less ana of previously taking q
larger amount, was evidently an error
The fret facts were taken from the
Washington Po7t and the sFcC nd facts
about the $500 were give n to the writer
of the article by sir, Weathe1less him
Felf. Mr. Weatherless, although hay
ing made this statement in the preeence
two others TO the wIiter Of the srtiC le,
denies it in letter to the editor over
his signature. TIE Colo red American
does not Irlnt scandals nor police news
and 1t regrets that any part of this
matter was published. Mr.. Bagwe,l,
we learn, Is a representative young n an
end is prominent in Mes mic and social
circles The money coml lained of was
his own end there should have been
nothing said OF 1t IN the first place. 10
Justice to him and to his mother 80 well
as to sll parties concerned, The OOlOred
Amer'can regrets that anything was
said about it at all.

MAJOR TAYLOR.
Champion Bicycle Rider of the World
and Why he is Champion.

Because he has defeated sll OF the
fastest riders in the world.
In France he defeated the great JAG
quelin and IN such decisive manner
as TO prove his superiority without any
doubt. The French call Tay IOr the
'CoJored Whrlwind" and no name
could be found to fit him better. When
he gets going for fair he q veritab!e cy-
clone.
Taylor came to America on July 3rd
and on July 4 h (the following dtyJ he
rode in races in New York snd has
been forced by bis contract with the
Nationa al Cycling Asso istion to ride
olmOst nightly ever since. Irstead ne
should hsve taken at least three weeks
rest after his sea voyage to recuperatf
after bis hard WOIk in France. The
consequence of his having ridden 60
much Is that he has been teaten on two
occasions in races, not because his op-
pOnent is tester man, but because
Taylor .is out Of form. But he insists
upon carrying out his contract to his
own detliment and loss. Something g
no other hicy Gle rider would do under
the circumsia ces.
Taylor had finally to take rest IN.
der his ply sicien's DG sitive orders. Not
because be is i'll, but to give him a
much needed rest. In consequence OF
which Frank Kramer, his only rival,
has been able to gain a slight lead IN
points, be having ridden in several
more races than Taylor has since Tay
lOr has laid off. When the Major ap
pears here August 22nd be will be IL
his old form and will give good &C
G unt of bimselfin his races with Kram
er and Iver Lawson, the wonder from
Australia who is loo ked upon to be th'
man to defeat Taylor. But we will se'

with q broad bslcony which almost
surrounds the house. The front lawn
extends from the porch to the beach

out. A driven we'll is at the rear of the

WAGING WAR AGAINST CIGARETTES.
Legislative Action in Many States
Against the Pernicious Little Paper
Rolled Coffin Nails.

Evil days are ahead for the cigar
cite. Investigation shows that the
Legislatures in at least thirteen
States are considering the adoption Of
more or less drastic anti-cigarette
measures; that eleven States already
have laws on their statute books pro-
hibiting the sale of the cigarettes. and
that the W. G.. L. L. and other organ
izations are urging the adoption of
stringent legislation in half a dozen
other CommOnwealths.
The States under the first head are
Illinois. California. Montana. Mis-
souri,, Kansas. Massachusetts, Michi-
gan. Minnesota, Indiana, West Vir-
ginia. Nebraska. Delaware and North
Carolina.
Under the second head are Rhode
Island. Iowa, New Hampshire. Mi.sis-
sippi. Arizona. Texas, Vermont, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Georgia
Among the States where the women
and school teachers are seeking to
arouse their legislators to action are
Tennessee, Maine. Utah. Oregon.
Washington and Wisconsin.

Prince Consorf Left Millions.
The prince consort is known to
have left a will bequeathing his entire
fortune to the queen, although it was
never admitted to probate or officially
divulged. During the twenty-three
years that interviewed between his mar
riage and his death he had received
from the English treasury an annuity
of s150,000, besides which he had a
private fortune of his own which
yielded him about $4,000 year more
AS the queens husband, he had prac-
tically no expense of any kind to meet,
since they were all betrayed, like those
Of her majesty, out OF the assigned
portions Of the civil list, and it is
known that he was able to set aside
and invest at least 100000 a year
throughout his married life. This
amounts net to $2,300,000. The major
portion of this was most judiciously
invested in land at South Kensington,
which was at that time little else than
waste ground, but which today is
| covered with the most costly and luxu-
rious mansions in London and is worth
far more for the square foot than 1t

Cbonges in Empire.


The territorial growth of the British
empire during the reign of Queen Vic
toria has been prodigious. In Asia
between 1887 and 1858 the territory Of
Scinde of the Sikhs, Tanjore, Lower
Burmah, Nagpur, Sattara, Jhansi and
Dude were brought under British do
minion. In the latter year all British
India was transferred from the British
East India company to the crown. And
since that date Upper Burmah, the
Shan states, Beluchistan, Manipur and
Chitral have been annexed. Nor must
the little but enormously valuable ter
ritory of Hongkong be forgotten as one
of the acquisitions of the reign.
Passing from Asia to Australasia,
even greater changes have occurred.
Before 1887 New South Wales and Tas-
mania were the only organized colo
MES in that region and the rest of the
great islands we're practically un-
known land. Since then New Zealand,
Victoria, South Australasia, Queens
land and West Australia have been
added to the mighty cluster of British
colonies WHICH, NOW Illuminate Ihoe
quarter of the world. Fiji, part Of Bor-
neo and of New Guinea and many
smaller island groups are now also to
be colored with British red on the
worlds map.
FetO CbanSeS IN WeSf.
In the western hemisphere there
have been few changes in territorial
lines. British title to the northwest
ern territory has been confirmed and
the area of British Guiana somewhat
enlarged. The development OF the
Dominion of Canada has, however,
been almost equal to the discovery and
annexation OF new continent. Finally
in Africa, there has been stupendous
progress. Sixty years ago Great
