sCHLEY TO NAVAL VETERANS.
He Thanks Them for Comforting Far
raGut Medal on Him.

The Associated Veterans of Farraguts
fleet, who recently conferred on Admiral
Schiey a Farragut medal, are in receipt
of letter from him. In it he thanks thcm
for the high honor they have done me
in presenting me a gold medal, bearing
the eff1gy of our great admiral David
Glasgow Farragut. l am delighted to have
been one of his pupils in the days of Aud
Lang Syne,' and to have learned from him
the art of war, and to have done enough
to have deserved to wear a medal bearing
his grand old face, voted to me u.lan:-
mously by those who were associated with
him as l was in one of the fercest aud
blOodiest wars of modern days.
1T is an honor that my children and
their children will love to dwell upon when
L. in my turn, have gone to take my place
with our great captain where envyinss
cease and strifeS are unknown.
The greatest joy of my long service has
been that | have served faithfully with no
thought of self. that / have helped others
to stand for home and for country, ana
l have believed in that camarader1e Wnlcn
comes from common exposure to COM
mon dangers, from the admiral command
ing to the man behind the gun or before
the furnace, who are all alike in sharing
perilS of glory

Just at present we are In transition per-
iod. Despite the cleverness OF our manu-
facturers II cannot be said that they have
successfully met the summer needs in the
matter of clothing, and In many ways
they are more hide-bolfnd than fashions
and more conservative than social customs.
This may seem an exaggeration In view Of
the amazing variety of summer novelties
offered. And yet all know many of the so
called summer cloths are not cool, and yet
they are turned out year after year. though
all experience tells that there is but the ap-
pearance Of seasonable weights in their
textures without real adoption to tropical
conditions. This is even true of some of
the shirting materials, and Ii would seem
as a prerequisite to new summer fashions,
coatfess or coated, we must look to the
American manufacturer. Then, when he
has given us real tropical-weight clothes
that are serviceable and has devised the
correct shirt that needs no concealing coat,
the shirt waist issue will be settled by the
necessities of the climate and not by the
hXity Of foolish customs.

From the Los Angeles Times.
One year ago the American Protective
Tariff League completed its sheep census"
for the United States, and the compilation
of the reports received showed some re-
markable results. Contrasted with the
year 1896, of the free wool period under
the Wilson tariff, the census for 1900
showed a gain of Il A per cent in the total
number of sheep owned and a gain Of
121 SO per cent in the average value per
head.
But this as is explained by the American
Economist in a timely article the SUBJ
Ject, was before the bottom dropped out
of the worlds wool markets. Since then
the great slump In wool values has taken
place" American focks, however have in
creased and their value per head has ad-
vanced. notwithstanding the slump in the
value of ficcks in Australia, South Amer
lea and other wool-producing countries
The sheep census for 1901, just completed
by the American Protective Tariff League
shows by 1OI reports received from forty
states that the number of sheep owned
in March, 1901, was l 1,464, ISL, as compared
to 1,2J6:73S, a gain for 1901 of 2OS, ,O43 the
percentage of gain being 1866. This is an
excellent record under the circumstances
AS against average value of $3.50 per
head in March. 1900, the average value for
March. 1901. was $4O4, an increase of ID
cents per head, or 3.59 per cent.

BOTH STATES CLAIM TAX.
New York and New Jersey Want Slice
of Rogers Estate.


A dispatch from New York yesterday
says:
William S. Pennington. one of the execu-
tors named by the late Jacob S. Rogers,
announced today that the will is to be Of
fered for probate at Trenton next Tuesday.
There were evidences today of a coming
dispute between the states of New York
and New Jersey. This tax will amount to
about S500,00O. 1t is the intention of the eX-
ecutors to maintain that the millionaire
was a resident of New Jersey at the time
of his death. Opposed to this contention Is
the phrase, used repeatedly by the Million
aire in his will, II. Jacob S. Rogers, bache-
lor, of this city. county and state of New
York Mr. Rogers used this expression in
the original will drawn in 1892. and in all
of the codicils afterward added The last
codicil in which the expression was used
was dated October .. 1900.
Mr.. Pennington declined to go into the
question of Mr.. Rogers legal residence.
James Gereance one of the inheritance
tax officials for New York, said that the
interests of New York would not be af-
fected by the offering of the will for pro-
bate in New Jersey next week. There will
be ample time" he said for the New
York authorities to investigate the matter
and determine whether all or part of the
Rogers millions should pay an inheritance
tax in this state

THE SHIRT WAIST ISSUE.
A Different Reception Given the Gar.
ment in Church and Theater.
From the philadelphia Press

A Different Reception Given the Gar
ment in Church and Theater.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The summer shirt waist gets a different
reception in the church and in the theater.
A number Of preachers have indorsed the
garments as suitable dress in which to
attend church, and Archbishop Kain Of the
Catholic diocese of st. Louis recently said:
1.-The shirt waist, in my opinion, is a COOL
comfortable, decent garment. 1t is fit and
proper for the laymen to wear 1t II they
desire. Religion should be comfort to
the body as well the soul. There is no
reason why men should be subjected to
physical discomfort to enjoy the blessings
Of religion. Let them come to church in
the hot weather costumed in unassuming
attire, designed for their comfort"
On the contrary the theaters in Chicago
at least, have prohibited the wearing of
shirt waists by their patrons. On one of
the hot nights of last week this notice was
hung in the front of the box office Of a
theater in that city: Gentlemen must
granted by the ticket of admission will be
revoked for any disregard Of this rule"
And the manager of another theater in the
same city is reported as saying: mo re-
spectacle man of sense would go to a thea
ter garbed in shirt waist. The shirt waist
fad is dead. 1t died a-bornin',' and nothing
can resurrect it. The only kind of persons
have seen accoutered in the shirt waist
are ninnes and sissy boys" This manager
has evidently something to learn. He
may discover by loss of patrons that the
church is proving wiser than the theater
in it's treatment of the shirt waist.
If we are in for another summer such as
that of 1900, which was persistently warm,
the various heated spells being tempered
with no radical breaks in the reign of max
imum temperature, the shirt waist issue
will settle itself. The folly of men over.
heating themselves with unnecessary cloth
ing is apparent to the dullest. Unfortu-
nately, custom Is a difficult thing to break
with. 1t is not always amenable to reason.
And there is still a general feeling that
custom demands the coat, at least, If not
the waistcoat, on most occasions in public,
and this feeling, having pressure Of some
centuries behind 1t, still carries the day in
the face Of gross physical discomforts.
But the signs of the times show that the
yoke of custom Is by no means resting
easily on supheated shoulders, and 1t is
clear that innovators will soon not be lonely
In their defiance OF useless formalities
in the search for comfort. When the tenn
perature warrants 1t men will appear with
out their coats, and as manufacturers and
those who look after the problems of attire
solve the problems of shape and material
the coatless man will be his own precedent.

New York magistrate has discharged
a violator of the anti-expectoration or6i-
nance on the ground that everybody has a
constitutional right to spit, and that when
ever u law forbidding expectoration on a
floor is to be enforced cuspidors must be
provided for public use. This judgment ap-
pears a straining of a point to avoid
salutary law. Says this magistrate: Men
have TO spit, and il cuspidors are not pro-
vided they have to spit elsewhere" That
depends. Men are not compelled to ex-
pectorate unless they are invalids unless
they put something in their mouths to
make them do it. II is rarely the case that
men have to spit In a drawing room or in
other places where they are not expected
to exercise the constitutional right" Of
ejecting saliva. Women are subject to the
same occasional necessities in this regard
men, but one does not see the women
using the public floors for cuspidors. The
anti-spit law Is intended for the protection
of the public and should be observed and
enforced.

NAY WEAR SOCIETY INSIGNIA.
Army and Naval Officers Affected by
Recent Decision

In response TO a joint request from the
War and the Navy Departments, the At
torney General has rendered an opinion
that officers Of the army and the navy
who are entitled by Inheritance to wear
the insignia Of patriotic societies Of the
War Of the Revolution, the War of 1872.
the Mexican War, and the War of the
Rebellion, may wear them with their Off
ciaI uniforms.
The army regulations permit army Off
GERS to display these badges on official
occasions, but there was no such provfs
ion in the naval regulations. Recently the
two departments determined to make the
regulations uniform on the subject but
the naval authorities expressed doubt as
TO their right to make any such provis-
ion without the authority Of Congress.
The question was referred to the Attorney
General, who solstains the contention of
the army. Legislation on the subject was
proposed some years ago. but the Senate
struck out a provision permitting naval
officers to wear badges Of patriotic so
cieties in which they had obtained mem
bership through inheritance.
Rear Admiral Bradford Chief of the
Bureau Of Equipment of the NAVY DeDart-
ment, called the attention OF the Score
tary of the Navy TO the fact that there
were no regulations prescribing the uni
form to be worn By chiefs of naval bu-
reaus on official occasions and suggested
that rule he issued prescribing the uni
form of rear admiral for these officers
Secretary Long has adopted the sugg@S-
tiCn and has issued the necessary order
with the addition that the chiefs Of staff
bureaus shall wear the cap. shoulder
strap. and sleeve ornaments Of their re-
spective corps but of the grade of rear
admiral Line officers who are chiefs of
bureaus viii wear the uniform Of the line
The order affects the Chief Constructor.
