OIL AS FUEL In BALTIMORE.
Many Plants Using lt---Texas Fuel
to Have a Trial.

Baltimore, June ia number OF
Baltimore manufacturers are using oil
in place of coal to furnish heat for the
boilers at their plants. They say that
they find oil less expensive than coal,
more effective and much cleaner. and
that it does away entirely with the
great clouds of black smoke and SCOT,
dust and CRIME. Some OF the concerns
that are using oil to produce steam for
the whole or a part of their respective
plants are as follows: South Balti-
more Car Works, Maryland Steel Com
pany, McShane Manufacturing Com
pany, f. J. Codd Company, William
King & Bro. Baltimore Enamel and
Novelty Company, Victor G. Bloede
Company and National Enamelling and
Stamping Company.
These concerns are using oil in spite
of the fact that insurance companies
have thus far taken no positive stand
egarding the new fuel and have moi
decided whether or not to raise rates
Nearly all the oil now used in Baltimore
comes from the Standard Oil Company,
refueries, being one of the by-product
in making Illuminating and other oils
Consumers here say that they expec
to give Texas oil thorough trial at al
early day.

FAVORABLE TO CROPS
We're the Temperature Conditions
Prevailing During the
Past Week.

Washington, June 1.-THE following
is the weather bureaus weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions:
Highly favorable temperature con-
ditions prevailed during the week in
the great corn states of the central val
leys, the Central and West Gulf States
suffering from excessive heat. The
districts from the upper Missouri valley
TO the New England coast have expert
enced temperatures too low for favor
able growth. The lower Missouri and
upper Mississippi valley and the south
ern portion of the upper lake region
where in previous weeks farm work
has been interrupted by heavy rains,
have received additional heavy rains.
Abundant rains have effectually re-
lieved drought in the South Atlantic
states, but the almost entire absence of
rain in the Central and West Gulf
states has intensified drought condi-
tions previously existing in those sec
tions. Weather conditions on the
Pacific coast were favorable except In
Oregon and Washington, where the
nights were too cool.
Corn made rapid growth in Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, and portions
of Illinois and Iowa, and is much i'm
proved in Ohio. In portions of Iowa
and northern Illinois the crop has suf-
fered from heavy rains and Wisconsin
and Michigan from both moisture and
low temperatures. In Kentucky, Ten
nessee and generally throughout the
Middle and South Atlantic states corn
is doing well, but is suffering from
drought in the South and West Gulf
states and is being cut for fodder in
portions of Texas. Winter wheat has
made generally favorable progress dur
ing the past week, further improve
ment being reported from the Ohio
valley and lake region.
| In northern Illinois. the crop has suf-
fered to some extent from heavy rains
and much lodging on rich soils is re-
ported from Wisconsin. Harvest has
begun in Kansas and southern Illinois,
has progressed under favorable con.
ditions in Missouri, is about finished in
the Carolinas and Tennessee, and wheat
is ripening in southern Nebraska, with
a very promising outlook. Winter
wheat continues in promising condition
In Washington and Oregon and good
crop is being harvested in northern and
central California.
Spring wheat has been damaged in
flooded valleys in portions of Iowa, but
is doing well in the drier portions o.
the state and some OF the late sown ir
South Dakota is weedy. With thess
exceptions the crop is in excellent con
dition throughout the spring whea
region. Oats have suffered some injury
in northern Illinois and portions o
Iowa, from heavy rains, and too ranl
growth is reported from Nebraska an(
ELSEWHERE throughout the central val
leys and lake region.

WaItermire Is Coming.

The Bucyrus Telegram says Of
Beecher w. Waltermire, who will de-
liver the Fourth of July oration in
DeGraff:
"The lectnre-going people OF this
city are indebted to the Sons OF Veter-
ais for rare treat last night in pro-
curing Hon. Beecher w. Waltermire
to deliver his lecture on The Orator of
the Revolution He pictured Patrick
Henry as an orator, statesman and pat
tariot, the peeri of any who figured in
Revolutionary times. The speaker
contended that the great orator and
patriot had never received his due
share of praise, and that historians had
/, not given him the proper recognition.
All who heard the lecture will have d
higher regard for Patrick Henry than
ever before"

4 black or white chiffon veil having
long, graceful ends.
The pretty outing hat in the illustra-
ton is made of rough straw. The brim
is draped with lace veil, and a velvet
ribbon is passed around the crown and

NO<es of Fashion.
For seashore wear a couple of light
flannel frocks made in comfortable
blouse fashion, with loose short coats,
will be found very useful.
Burnt straw toques and hats are
ideal to wear with tailor made gar
ments. These can be trimmed simply
with detachable bows or foula-d to
match the costume with which they
are worn.
Frenchwomen invariably wear their
hats forward to shade the eyes. This
is infinitely more becoming, as it
throws a soft shadow and protects the
face from the glare of the sun. If a
woman wishes to wear her hat of her
face, she can have it tilted up with a
band, but it should still be allowed to
extend forward.
Ribbon work is a great deal used,
and, in spite of the coming warm days,
silk chenille embroidery has by no
means gone out of fashion, but is seen
on very sheer and delicate gowns.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL SITE.
Commission Under McCIeary Bill
Is Ready with an Ideal
Location.

Washington, June 1.-THE passage
by the House yesterday of the McCleary
bill authorizing commission to prepare
plans and report on a site and design for
a memorial to Abraham Lincoln means
the first big stroke in putting through
the improvement scheme o. the Burn
ham-McK;m Commission. The men,
bers of the commission authorized by
the McCleary bill have already had
several informal conferences with a
view to ascertaining each others ideas,
so that there would be no needless de-
lay in getting to work if the bill passed.
A majority of them are agreed that the
site for the memorial should be the
north bank of the Potomac, at a point
where it is intersected by line drawn
through the centre of the Capitol and
Washington monument; in other words,
bringing the memorial into the axis OF
the other two monumental structures

COMMANDED THE OREGON
Capt. Charles E. Clark Mentioned
For Special Promotion

Washington, June 14.-Capt. Charles
E. Clark, whose promotion to an ad-
miralty is authorized by the bill intro
duoed into the house by Congressman
Foss, is one of the most modest and at
the same time most capable officers in
the navy. His great record on the Ore
gon. during the war with Spain, won
the admiration Of the whole country at
the time. Capt. Clark is a native of
Vermont, was born in 1S40, and has
been in the naval service OF his country
since 1860, in which year he was grad
usted from Annapolis. He has held
the rank of captain since 1896.

That is not so important for us to
answer as the question, Will we ever
learn the lesson? If the rich Rehoboam
lacks self-cOutrol there is always near
at hand some cunning Jeroboam to see
that the ten tribes resent his ugly

WHITE YELLING GOWN.

hat there is no doubt that low coif-
fure is more becoming, but there are
few women who have sufficiently
classical profile to wear it low without
the hat. Generally a woman looks
best with her hair drawn up on the
top of her head because it gives be-
coming lines at the back and sides.
The long empress curl should only
be worn with very dressy costume.
There is something very ludicrous
about this style of hairdressing when
seen with ordinary clothes.
The tulle rosette has supplanted the
rose as hair ornament, and the al
gret is regaining its former popular
ity.
A white yelling gown is shown in the
picture The waist has tucked yoke.
and through the lace collar a narrow
velvet ribbon is drawn. The rest of
the waist is draped surplice fashion.
The sleeves are full and are gathered

tucked ruffies. headed by three inser-
tions.

all black hat is prettiest made OF chif-

shirred or tucked chiffon. For trim

silk poppy with its buds. Two or at

The Prevalence of Red.
Red and flame color are a great deal
used In millinery. Whole hats covered
with pOppies are very charming. The
all black picture hats are for the most
part made of the new ribbon or bass
straws and sometimes of leghorn.
Wells do not vary much. Fine, clear
meshes are the favorites, while white
tulle veil dotted with large and small
velvet dots is very becoming to a
smooth skin.
The craze for white seems to be in
creasing. In linen, cambrics, muslins
and cloth 1t reigns supreme. Nothing
can be prettier or more dressy than an
all white costume when shoes, hat
gloves and parasol match.
There Is new shade Of green called
Patrick green which is considered very
smart In millinery Just now. 1t is SC
vivid that 1t ruins the complexion OF
nearly every woman who wears 1t.
A pretty evening gown for young
matron Is the one shown in the illustra
| ton. 1t is made of lustrous black crepe
de chine. The skirt Is accordion plait
