What have you done or asked con-

Nothing at ALL"
What is the evidence of ownership
Of slaves in the islands?
"A receipt or bill of sale with de-

Are those slaves personal property

SHIRT WAIST MAN.
Loose, Flowing Garb of Light Texture
 Is Needed

Is Needed.
 Making all allowances for the abom- inable corset and for skirts that have to be held aside by the hand lest they should impede the movements or gath CT the filtn of the streets, we must still admit, says the New York Medical Journal, that a woman's ordinary at tire s much more comfortable than a mans, particularly in hot weather. When at work men seek relief by talk ing off the coat but convention has so decreed that man must not so divest himself when he is not at work. AS a protest against this form of conven- tionality we haye the shirt waist man" of the newspapers, some of which, by the way, confound that per son with the man in his shirt sleeves. It is hoped that the discussion now go- ing on will lead to the adoption of comfortable summer clothing for men. The trouble, We think, lies not so much in the presence of the coat. which, indeed, is protection in the direct rays of the sun, as it does in the close fit of mems garments. A loose, flowing garb of light texture is what Is needeu. To begin with, we doubt J anything more uncomfortable than the starched, close fitting collar was ever tamely submitted to 'by mankind, al- though the -4atS that are commonly worn or oppressive in hot weather. Why should man hesitate to expose his throat to view? If the fashion of wearing a loose, low-cut, rolling col lar could be brought about, it might, Indeed, by inducing men to throw their shoulders back to detract from the prominence of the elavicles, lead to decided improvement of our aver age pulmonary development. And the collar should not be either a portion of the shirt or separate article, but part of the outer garment, which garment should be loose, with short, roomy sleeves, and might be gathered at the waist to support the trousers by means of buttons. The objection to a belt for holding up the trousers is that it is worn too high, above the crests of the lila, where it necessarily congresses the abdomen more than it would were it wnrn in the natural fur row between the ilias crests and the femoral trochanters. This, of course, would make the top of the trousers too low for appearances, but 1t might readily be concealed by the short skirt of the tunic buttOned all tho way down. The trousers, which should be ample, without any attempt at close fit, might well be decidedly shorter than they are now worn, and gather ed few inches above the ankle by means of strap and buckle.

They desire to see him continued at the.

great inducement to crime would be re-

It says. should not be accompanied by
one or two armed men who in such
cases would have orders to shoot and
shoot at once.
The London Chronicle says that the
closest possible alliance between the
police of all nations and the greatest
vigilance within each country are the
only effective weapons society has
against the common enemy. 1t adds:
On political grounds as well as on
the ground of human feeling it would
be a grievous calamity If Mr.. Mckinley
does not recover. The president stands
for policy and an epoch. His work is
not concluded. To the president him
self. who is bearing the blow with so
much quiet courage, to his devoted
wife, and the whole American nation,
the sympathy of the British people goes
out with unstinted sincerity in this
hour of grievous anxiety
The London Times declares "the
world will hear with horror and deep
regret of the murderous attempt. 1t will
be a relief to the feelings of the people
of the United States that the criminal is
not one of themselves. If he is an an
archist the people of the United States
will realize more fully than ever that
there are enemies Of society who are
as active and as implacable under the
widest development of democracy as
under what are considered the effete
despotisms of the old world"
The entire press of London joins in
paying a tribute to President McKin-
ley's dignifed character and friendly
personality.
All these evidences of sympathy and
good will are deeply appreciated by our
countrymen, and show that we can
count upon cooperation in any future
effort to remedy this evil that confronts
all rulers.

other man actually clears half million
dollars on his one-third interest in the

a single year 1t is safe to remark that
he is already bloated bondholdsr and
is perfectly Indifferent whether school

should bear in mind that the business

ates. A reputable college diploma or
rather the work it signifies is fast be-
coming the first requisite In an appli-

everywhere look upon the college grad
