Americans cannot lay claim to being

Among the smaller shOp-owners who
belong to the old arlstocratic families
Of England Is Lord Harrington, who
opened shop few years ago on his
London property. that he might sell
fruit and vegetables grown at Elyuston
Castle. The late Lord Wlnchlsea was
the pioneer OF the fresh vegetable cru

came to pass, though. They had the
fish question up before the House and
the bills made it unlawful to fish in
inland lakes during certain months of
the year. Among the lakes in my dis

about two acres and full Of bullheads.
Three different farms touched this pond

While the bill was hanging fire sew

REFORMING MEMS DRESS.
Lord Ronald Cover Decrics Silk Hats
FrOck Coats, and Trousers.

Frock Coats, and Trousers.
Does the present day wearing ap-
parel represent the maximum of com
fort and warmth with the minimum of
weight? In addition. is it the most be-
coming we can wear?
To these questions Lord Ronald
Sutherland Cover gave the writer an
empathauc negative.
Il have no wish to design dress
which shall be beautiful at the expense
Of utility, nor do | wish only one class
of society to benefit" said Lord Cover.
With slight notifications the pro-
posed reformed dress could be worn by
all classes. 1t is only a question of
material not of cut.
ITO begin at the top: The silk hat
must go. | feel especially strongly
about this article of headdress. 1t is
heavy, hideous, and unhealthy, and
should be discarded in favor of a HON
burg, for Instance, or a soft felt hat,
something between a cavaliers and a
New South Wales lancers in shape"
They say that the silk hat is the
only one that can be worn with the
frock coat"
Granted; but why retain the frock
coaot? 1t suits very few men, and it's
length adds TO the weight on the
shoulders. Let the man who would
dress sensibly dispense with tails and
wear a rather short coat-not too alb.
breviated-in which ! am sure he will
look well and feel comfortable.
my most radical recommendation
apply to the neither garments. The un-
graceful trousers should be replaced
with with close-ftting knee-breeches
coming below the knee and fastening
with three buttons, and silk stockings
and neat-buckled or laced shoes would
complete a serviceable costume
''As for the ladies, | cannot criticise
their toilet. They always look charm
ing"
Lord Ronald frankly admitted that
he had not the courage to adopt his re-
formed costume at once. However. he
has not worn a silk hat for years, The
last occasion being a royal garden
party.
Il don't think the present period is
the ugliest in the history of mans
dress" he admitted. but that is not
saying a great deal. In 1910, in my
opinion, the high-water mark Of down
right ugliness was reached; but we are
nearly as bad to-day"
''The only way TO get sensible style
Of dressing generally adopted" con
cluded Lord Ronald. "is to wear 1t in
ones own home and among ones in
innate friends. Then body of us may
visit theater in reformed attire; but
it will need lot Of courage. London

Excepting wages paid to Locomotive

costs the company half million dol

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, July 23.-The stock market
again demonstrated it's absorptive power,
today, and made a various but quite con-
yincing show of strength, notwithstand-
ing the appearance of reactionary ten
dency in some Of the stocks which tempt
ed to realizing by the high price attained,
and a few cases of positive weakness.
The volume of dealings was again below
q million shares and the bulk of the deal
ings confined to few very active
stocks. Not much attention. was paid to
the news of the day. which was somewhat
meagre in its bearing upon values of Sc
curities. The weekly crop bulletin of the
weather bureau was interpreted fayorably
on the whole. The profit taking in Penn
sylvania was somewhat aggravated by
the action of the New York aldermen in
rejecting the tunnel contract. Brooklyn
Transit was decidedly weak owing to the
belief that the company's bid for con-
Struction of the East river tunnel will fail
OF acceptance. The granting of stay
Of the Amalgamated Cos. injunction
against the working of a disputed mine
by rival was held to explain the reac-
tionary tendency in that stock. London
continued to sell stocks in this market.
The call money market was somewhat
firmer and the time money market dis
tinctly SO. The bond market was irreg-
ular. Total sales, par value, A.565. 600.

Don't Despise the Boys.

Don't plague the bashful country boy
Who looks with awe upon you now;
His clothes are poor and he is coy,
And tangles up his legs somehow
So that he stumbles awkwardly
In making way for you-but he
So guileless now. so poorly dressed.
May hide away down in his breast
a Lincoln's heart. or be possessed
OF wishes such as Garfield had
To stand where but the greatest may
Don't laugh out at the country lad
Who passes awkwardly today.
Don't spurn the poor boy in the street
Who tries to pass and jostle you;
The shoes are ragged on his feet,
His trousers may be tattered too.
With grimy hands and tangled hair,
He lodges here and hurries there,
Too little for his years, but still
Deep in his breast may be the Will
That spurred Carnegie up the hill
Forgive the child who sometimes dares
To play little on his way;
Down in the busy thoroughfareS
Are boys the world shall know some day
o country boy, lift my hat
In humble Difference to you;
o little worker in the street.
Clad in your soiled and tattered blue,
With awe l watch you as you pass
l might cry Bravo ii I knew,
O ragged, tired. AWKWARD boy,
What things God sent you here to do.

The Depositor's Responsibility.

When a man puts money in bank,
a large part of the responsibility Oh
taking care of it falls on the bank.
This has Just been emphasized by the
decision of the Maine Supreme court
which holds certain savings banks in
Augusta and Lewiston responsible for
sums of money drawn by unauthor-
lied persons or forged orders. An old
principle is involved and it is one Of
the main projections which the de-
positor has. But the depositor is not
wholly without responsibility after he
has given his money into the care OF
the bank. The New York court of APP
peals has just rendered decision
along this line which will be of gen.
eral interest.
In the New York case a national
bank was involved, and the substance
of the decision of the higher court is
that a depositor must scrutinize his ac-
counts and see particularly that the
paid checks returned correspond in
amount with the stubs in his posses
sion. If he neglects to do this and his
checks are raised by dishonest clerk
the maker of the checks must stand
the loss. 1t seems that business
house depositing with the bank was
victimized by it's own confidential
clerk, who raised checks for period
of two years and appropriated the ex-
cess to his own use. During the
period of the manipulation the deposit
book of the firm was written up no less
than twelve times and the paid checks
returned A comparison of these
checks with the stubs would have
disclosed the fraud, but the firm did
not do this. 1t got judgment, how
ever against the bank for the fraudu-
lent payments, but the court of APP
peals has reversed this, holding that
the firm had been guilty of negligence
in not comparing the returned checks
with the stubs and discovering tbs
fraud in it's first stage. The justice OF
such a decision is manifest. 1t will pay
to make an occasional comparison be-
tween your returned checks and the

SEARCHING American Sh;ps.


1t was long ago, about a century
that this country went to some trouble
TO convince England that it wss wrong
to insist on searching American ship
for desertcrs from the royal navy
The war of 1912 was fought upon this
issue. among others, and as a result
that it was bad taste to make unlimited
calls upon the officers of our naval OF
merchant vessels. The principle then
established has held in international
affairs to the present day and the
United States has no intention of
waving it in favor of any power what
ever.
These observations are called forth
nv a recent episode in the far eastern
seas which has become an interesting,
though not highly important, subject
of correspondence between our govern
ment and that of Russia. 1t seems
that when our army transport, the
Logan, called at Nagasaki, Japan, re-
Gently, the Russian consul demanded
the right to search the ship for
deserters from the navy OF the Car.
But Captain Beckham knew a few
things about international law and
about American history and the de
mand" was refused without debate and
the Russian consul was politely
ushered down the gang plank. The
consul tells his troubles to the Russian
embassy and the matter will now be
laid before the state department with
a demand for explanations and repara-
ton.
No doubt. Secretary Hay or his as
sistants will gladly give the Russians
whatever explanat ton the case seems
to require, but the reparation will not
come in this century or the next. This
country has no treaty with Russia
whereby it's consuls are allowed TO
search our naval vessels for alleged
deserters at their discretion. There is
not a leg in international law for the
Russian ease to stand upon. Perhaps
if the Russian consul, instead OF max
ing a demand, had politely asked Cap
tain Beckham to ascertain if any Rus
sian stowaways were aboard, he would
have Jared better and might have land
ed his men.
