THE CAUSE OF VICE.
Keen Analysis Made by Writer In the
Atlantic.

Vice is due chiefly to inattention;
not ignorance, but thoughtlessness.
Il see the better and approve; yet
| pursue the worse" In this case
knowledge is not absent, but defec-
tive. 1t is on the margin instead of in
the focus of consciousness. In the
language of physiological psychology
a present appetite presents its claims
on great pillows of nerve commotion
which come rolling in with all the
tang and pungency which is the char
acteristic mark of immediate peri
pheral excitation, says writer in the
Atlantic The future consequences of
the qualification of that appetite, on
the contrary. are represented by the
tiny faint, feeble waves which flow
over from some other brain center,
excited long ago, when the connection
of this particular cause with its nat
ural effect was first experienced. In
such an unequal contest between pow
erful vibration shot swift and straight
along the tingling nerves from the
seat of immediate peripheral commo-
ton, and the meager, measured flow
of faded impressions whose initial
velocity and force was long since
spent, what wonder that the remote
effect seems dim, vague and unreal.
and that the immediate qualification
Of the :nsistent, clamorous appetite
or passion wins the day.

her daughter to reconsider her d.
termination and to make the best
of an unpleasant situation for the
sake of her children, and zee as lit

permissible.
The Princess replied, according
to one Of her confdants: that she
would see "nothing of that BEAST:
that the tutelage of her children
was largely taken out of her hands
and that she could not bear to see
them spoiled by "the hypocricies
of the court. What she complained
of in the Prime was his intemper-
ance, his inidelities, and, as her
partisans affirm, his cruelty of
disposition. They affirm that he
had for years liason with an
actress named Bastok, and it is re-
ported that at review of troops

However true these Incidents may
be, the court and all Dresden knew

The boat was drifting now, and at

Newport, r. l., Aug. 29.-The night
before the battle finds the army OF
defense in the several ports along
shore between New Bedford and the
cast entrance to Long Island Sound
practically in readiness to repel the
ettack of the hostile fleet under the
command of Admiral Higginson.
The only thing that remains is the
additional armament on both sides,
the Massachusetts, heavy artillery for
the shore and the Massachusetts,
Connecticut and New York naval mil
itia for the fleet. These organizations
will arrive Tomorrow afternoon.
The artillery will be at once distrib-
uted among the posts at the entrance
of Narragansett Bay and also at New
Bedford, and the naval militia among
the vessels of the fleet. 1t is expected
that the fleet of Admiral Higginson
will disappear from the coast some
time tomorrow night and will not be
heard from again until the attack Is
made.
The principal event to-day in this
vicinity was the arrival of Maj. Gen.
Macarthur, commander of the Depart
ment of the East. on a tour of in
spection. He was received at Fort
Adams late in the after
noon and a long consultation was held
this afternoon at headquarters.
An Army of SignaIIers.
A large number of signal stations
reaching from Fort Adams along the
southern end of Rhode Island which
is practically the city of Newport,
have been established by the army.
These stations are ali in telephone
communication with headquarters at
Fort Adams. A wireless telegraph
system has also been established be-
tween Fort Adams and the mainland,
and also with the forts on Canonicut
Island and Dutch Island, Fort Weth-
Grill on the former, and Fort Greble
on the latter.
The main reliance of the army of
defense in this vicinity is the search
light station at Prices Neck, very close
to the life saving station. 1t is hoped
that this station will be able to pick
up by means of it's powerful light any
vessels of the enemy.
1t is also a very exposed point and
may be the scene of an attack, with
the object of cutting the wires.
The mines at the entrance of Mar
ragapsett bay are practically in posi-
ton and the umpires have charts OF
them. These umpires and observes al
left for their different positions early
this afternoon and tonight are ex-
pected to be ready for duty.
The date for the commencement OF
hostilities is at midnight tonight, but
the actual warfare will not begin I'M
til midnight on Sunday. The forty
eight hours are allowed Admiral Hig-
ginson to obtain some advantageous
position off shore.

How Actors Secure Articles for
Their Makeup.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Actors who play eccentric character
parts on the stage often have hard
work to find costumes which please
them. When a man is cast as a Ro-
man senator, an English nobleman.
a New York swell. or any part in
which good clothes afe in order it is
simply matter of giving an order to
a tailor. But when he is expected
to appear as tramp an old longshore-
man, a farmland, or some other part
which is properly costumed only in
old dirty, and time worn clothes, the
problem becomes more serious.
Experience has shown that it Is inn
possible for a tailor to make UP a suit
out Of new cloth which will look old
and dirty First of all, therefore, an
actor who has such a part to play
visits the second hand stores. In New
York there are two or three such stores
which make a speciality of keeping
old clothes which are ragged and worn
enough to make good eccentric charac-
ter costumes. Louis Gutenberg at
Sixth avenue and Eighth street is the
best known of these "old clio" tailors
for theatrical purposes. And often he
will hold a particularly dirty and dis
reputable suit at a higher price than
a new one because 1t would make such
z. fine tramp makeup.
Often an actor intrusted with a char
acter part will fail to find just what
he wants even in the second hand
ctores. Then he is likely to visit the
cheap lodging and barrel houses in
search of a good costume. Walking
along the street, perhaps, he will meet
a tramp or a beggar who is wearing a
coat which appeals TO his artistic eye.
Say" he will venture to the lucky
wearer of the garment, what will you
take for that coat?'

put a small Japanese garden in his
estate near Great Neck. Under a
French gardener he is employing
seventy skilled men on the plot, which
is to be only 200 feet square. 1t will
contain all of the rare trees, shrubs
and flowers native to Japan, and the
landscape design will be after the Jap
anese models. There will be little but
expensive summer houses, tea pagodas
and shelters. The walks and lanes will
be winding, but all in an exact system.
The plans have not all been made pub
