AMENDMENT TO
 DANIELS PLANK Delegate Thom Has Another Voting Plan for Virginia's
 New Constitution

Richmond, Va, September 12.-A meet ing of the Democratic members of the constitutional convention was held here today, when a substitute for Senator Dan iels plank, which has been pending for some time, was presented by Delegate Thom of Norfolk, and which has the sup port of a majority of the committee.
 The substitute was read and a commit tee named to confer with Chairman Dan iel and the minority to see if an agree ment cannot be reached. The substitute offered by MT. Thom provides that all voters shall reside in the State for two years preceding the election at which he shall offer to vote. Voters are to be di- vided into three classes: First, old sol- diers and all who have done military duty in any State; second, persons who pay taxes to the amount of s1: third, those who have a substantial interest in the community or who are employed for four months in each year. The most radical difference between the Daniel plan and the substitute Is that the former requires all voters to pay the capitation tax of $1.5O. while the substitute exempts all who have done military duty from that pay ment.
 Much time was consumed in discussion of the Moore amendment to the bill of rights. It was finally passed by vote of 40 to 23, after being amended by MT. Brax- ton.
 The amendment as adopted permits a prisoner in misdemeanor cases to be tried without the intervention of jury if he so elect, and in any criminal case wherein the accused shall have pleaded guilty the court shall hear and determine the case without the intervention of a jury.

SHAMROCK Il HAS
 A NARROW ESCAPE
SquaII Blew Lipton'S Boat About Like a Feather, But Good
 Work Saved Her

New York, September 12.-The Sham rock II and her crew never had more exciting experience than they had dur ing ten minutes this afternoon when the yacht weathered a fierce squall that came out of the west and blew at the rate of 54 miles an hour.
 The tall mast was leaning at an angle of between B and 45 degrees, and every body expected to see the mast go by the board. Gradually she lighted and forged ahead. but a new danger threatened. The yacht was heading directly for the east point of that dangerous shoal known as Flynn's Knoll where there Is only 15 fee, of water, and she draws about 2. The moment she had sufficient headway to go about, Captain Sycamore damned his tiller hard down and the boat responded, staggering up into the wind until the big mainsail slated like cfaps of thunder, and it looked as if the jib would jerk the bow spirit out of her. But not a rope yard parted and as she filled away. heeling down again to the danger angle, she cleared the shoal and was soon out in deep water again. Then a couple of men were sent aloft to unlace the Huff of tho gaff topsail from the mast and send it down. A few minutes later the tender Lawrence passed the yacht line. the mainsail was lowered, and the yacht made fast to her moorings at 2:30.
 Sir Thomas Lipton said of the Sham rocks escape:
 'It did not blow anything like as hard the day we lost our mast on the other side. Captain Sycamore was in very tight place in that narrow channel. but he brought her out of 1t by good hand ling"

of stairs?" And then this foolish writer draws the necessary deduction that tho city must furnish free baths to its citi- zens.
 Now, in the first place. not all the peo- pie of the United States live in cities. We think more than half do not If the community must furnish its citizens free tub. and spray baths, by what logic is the duty limited to the taxpayers or cities? The price of pure water (and If 1t is not pure 1t is not advisable even Tor bathing) is growing greater every year. and the water meter must make tub bathing, and other methods requiring large amount of water. too expensve except for few of the well-to-do in cities.
 The fallacy that there Is no cleanliness except by immersion is most pernicious one, productive of no bathing, and hence of disease By all means encourage i'm mersion and spraying and tubbing foE those who can afford 1t. but do not let us be guilty. as hygienists. of teaching tho people any longer that there is but one method of cleansing the body. A sponge or a wet towel with two gallons of water will cleanse the body as well in i've min- utes as hundred gallons h two houns

Asked Others to Share Equally.

Many think that musical artists should present their services for con certs given for charitable objects, re- fates the Saturday Evening Post. Madame Flames is also of this opin- ion, but she recently, in London, put the matter in new light to those who invited her to appear gratuitous- ly. Madame Flames was one after noon at Lord Charles Beresford's, and the next day received a letter from Lady Beresford saying that two ladies present had wanted to ask a favor, but in her presence had lost courage
 But I am not afraid of you," wrote Lady Beresford, and proceeded to say that the ladies in question, who hap pened to be extremely wealthy, wished her to sing for nothing for a certain charity.
 Madame Flames immediately sat down and wrote a reply. It was her duty she said, to save herself as much as possible for her operatic appearances at Covent Garden, which were stipu- lated by contracts to be two days apart, so that she might give her freshest and best to the public. She felt, however, greatly attracted to- ward the charity named, and would make only one condition regarding the donation of her scrvfces. She had received 300 guineas ($1,500) for sing ing at MT. w. w. Astor's and about the same amount at other private con- certs. She would gladly sing for noth- ing at the charity concert if each one of the ladies interested, who had so kindly asked her, would donate 300 guineas to the object for which the concert was to be given.
 As yet no replies rom ''the ladies interested" have been received. But Lady Beresford, not being one of the interested ladies'" appreciates more fully the humor of the situation.

DISSERTATION ON BATHING.
Any One Can get Clean With a Gallon
 of Water, 1t Says.
From American Medicine.

From American Medicine.
 A most important sanitary and polit- ical question, that of public baths in the tenement house districts of cities, is now. being discussed with much heat City governments are commanded to supply such baths. and the basis of all argu- ments used is that there Is no cleanliness except the body Is immersed in or sprayed with barrel or two of water. None more than we would advise the ex- tended use of baths of this kind, but as we have previously urged. 1t is high time that hygienists should educate the pub lie up to the point of recognizing that the spray of the tub bath Is not necessary for cleanliness. An editorial in a great journal says: How many would bathe If all the water had to be carried by hand from a hydrant often up several flights
