Among the latest expressions OF the
late Dr. Andrew Hunter. who was laid
q his final rest Under the evergreens
At Oakland Wednesday afternoon, the
.iilansas Icthodist reproduces the
following beautiful thoughts from a
letter written by him several weeks
before his death:

WHIMS OF FASHION
Designed Especially for the Transi=
tory Summer Girl.


The fact that afternoon toiiett": this
season boast trains - long as many
Of the evening gowns makes them ad-
mirably suited t. this dual purpose.
Some yeey striking gowns, though
ere designed exclusively for evening
wear. 4 notable example is a model
of pale blue plisso chiffon. finished at
The hem with many frills Of black lace
spaneled with FURNISHED steel pallet
tes: great medallions Of this u 80
chiffon; and dainty little frilled fichu
,irapes the low neck and is drawn up
on one side under a choux and long
ends OF black velvet.
Exquisite evening gloves. or rather
mits are bing displayed in the fashion
able shops of Gotham. These reach
silk embroidered or appliqued with
tiny designs of the most expensive
laces Shorter mits come for bodiccs
made with elbow sleeves, which are
also called opera sleeves. for some
reason quite eXplicable outside the
realm of dressmakerdom.
A few women in very exclusive so
ciety in the metropolis have taken up
the English fad OF having the arms tat
tooed. Butterflies. lovers knots and
intricate Oriental outlines are stamped
upon the flesh and in all tints in har
mony with the pink and white of the
skin. The fad is a pretty one and will
no doubt be limited to the enjoyment
of fashions most elect. as it is very
expensive to have the work executed
by skilled tatooists.
At the fashionable summer resorts
the fashion. revived last summer. OF
wearing finely knitted shoulder shaw;
is steadily growing in favor and many
exquisite effects in the chalas. to use
the strictly modish term are observed.
in all cases they are of silk and boFd
ens of To4ebuds and leaves enbroid
cred in raised design ornament many
n addition 10 q deep silken fringe
It is considered the correct thing to
have the fringe composed Of two col

mating tint in the embroidered design

it would be better to abandon & part

Fruit promises a good yield and

Gardens are fine and vegetables are

Another week of good warm wealth

it too early in the season to predict
what the harvest will be, it can safely
be predicted that it will be over an

, body Of business men" will assist in making southern
literature a staple and handy commodity on the DOCK
| shelves of the world.
All Of this would be very fine IL the dream would
come true. There is one fatal mistake In the prem
Uses of the convention. In these days no publishing
house or clique of publishing houses boycotts an au-
thor. They are ON a hunt for exceptional work. II
they are fooled in gauging the public taste, it Is their
own fault and regret.
Perhaps the fact that David Harum" was refused
by a number Of publishers may be called a boycott,
but the firm which did publish that unique book liter
ally hit upon q bonanza Likewise the firm which
issues Winston Churchill's novels does not do so from
any philanthropic motive, but because the public will
buy them.
These Southern authors, If they really are authors,
should learn that publishing houses are in the busi-
ness for money. Art is secondary. This rule, after
all, is no discredit to them. Let the Charleston in
surgents once catch the public ear through the medium
of any publisher and they will have no cause to com
plain. There can be no trust in the production OF
popular literature. The people fix their own standard
and the publishers cater to this taste. II Gable, Johns
ton, Page and others have succeeded 1t is because
they have produced vital work. Others who do as
much will have no difficulty in being pushed by tho
trade

LITERATURE is NOT SECTIONAL.

Mary Johnston, Thomas Nelson Page, George W.
Cable and Joel Chandler Harris must have read Of
the convention of Southern authors which was held
in Charleston recently with some misgivings and no
little amusement. II the objects Of this convention
are secured the above-named writer's will soon he
shelved.
1t is interesting to note what these so-called liter
airy men and women assembled in Charleston proved,
at least to their own satisfaction. A statistician
showed them that the great publishing houses had
placed a boycott on the work Of Southern authors.
After counting the number of volumes issued under
the names of writer's from the Northern States this
statistician demonstrated that the South was far In
the minority, both in the lumber OF accepted manu-
scripts and the hits Of the seasons.
This failure to get into print. agreed several of the
Charleston speakers, was resulting in a Literary
~lethargy' in the South. Genius crushed to earth
threatened to rise no more. Northern prejudice ex-
erted through the medium of the publishing houses is
~fatiguing the banHed and rebuned spirits of writers
below the Mason and Dixon line.
The emergency is great enough to call forth heroic
efforts. If these neglected authors are to be trusted.
In order to revive the literary spirit in the South It
was announced at the convention that a publishing
house will be established in Atlanta with q capital
Of 100000. Each Southern State will have 4 rep
resentativs on the Board Of Directors and Q strong

THE BLOOD.

There is both an element of picturesqueness and a
promise of results of historical value in the movement
to organize a Huguenot Society in st. Louis, for the
purpose of studying the teachings of the Huguenots
and the story of their religious struggles.
This sturdy blood Of the France of an earlier day
has made itself felt in the world to an extent testify.
ing cOnvincingly to its forcefulness. 1t is freely con.
coded by historians that France herself suffered q
most serious loss in the expulsion Of the Huguenots.
A constant and brave breed, their men were excep-
tionally strong in the learned professions, in business
and as artisans, and as citizens were of peculiar value
to the State. Suffering exile for conscience sake,
they transferred to other lands the energies and the
talents which they were not permitted to exercise in
their native country.
The Huguenot families Of the United States have
furnished us with many notable and worthy names
conspicuous for high service in the army and navy, in
the church and the law, In craftsmanship and in COM
mercial fields. The same blood is also dominant in
South Africa, having taken worthy part in the estab-
lishment and upbuilding Of the two Boer Republics
and being now brilliantly in evidence in the patriotic
resistance to British aggression. 1t is a blood Of
which any one may be proud, and the local movement
drawing together its representatives in st. Louis is
amply justified. The contemplated Huguenot Society
will constitute a worthy addition to kindred organiza-
tons Of social and historical import.

WORLD'S-19O3-FAIR.
A SUBSIDY FOR A MONOPOLY.

oA "A
Coincident with the news Of the practical compile
ton of the first stage Of ]. Pierpont Morgan's consoli-
dalton of the great transatlantic steamship lines
comes the announcement that this fact Of consolida-
ton is likely to prove an insurmountable obstacle to
the passage of the shipsubsidy bill
There would be occasion for a~mazement If this
effect Of the proposed consolidation were not certain.
More plainly than ever before, the contemplated ship
ping monopoly shows that the subsidy for which the
American people are to be taxed nearly $780, O0, coo
would go directly to the further enrichment Of the
Morgan syndicate. No benefit to the taxpayers is
contained In this threatened legislation. They are
simply to be burdened with an enormous additional
tax. In order that the profits Of the Morgan crowd
shall be increased.
Neither is it strange that even Republican hardi-
hood should now shrink from frankly facing the
American people on this issue. In lodging the unmis-
taxable teaching Of the shipping consolidation the
cunning argument is now being advanced that the
proposed merger makes the ship-subsidy bill more
than ever necessary. If the bill is not passed, the po-
litical bunkosteerers declare, all new ships in the
Morgan combine will be built abroad. Congress fs be-
ing besieged with this argument, the intent of which
is to so disort the truth that the evil nature of the sub
sidy bill may be longer concealed and its passage
made possible. while the public is still ignorant of the
real truth governing the situation.
The peoples representatives in Congress, however,
win have no excuse for failure to kill the ship-subsidy
bill at the first opportunity. A vote for that measure
Is nothing more nor less than a vote to put nearly
100000, 900 Of the peoples money into the pockets Of
the Morgan clique, with no compromising benefit to
the people. The organization Of the Morgan shipping
monopoly logically calls for the defeat Of the ship
subsidy bill. The fight is now in the open-the Ameri-
can people against the Morgan ship syndicate-and
the people will win IL their representatives in Con-
gress are faithful to their interests.

STAY ON THE OUTSIDE"

It would be unfortunate indeed If the success
which has attended John W. Gates in his Louisville
and Nashville deal were to ~inveigle the outside pub
lie into another bunco game Of speculation. Reports
from New York indicate that some Of the Spectators
are hoping for a renewal Of insanity.
The narrow escape which the public had in the
Northern Pacific corner should not be forgotten. The
big profits which Gates is reported to have made in
his last deal was a clever bit Of fnanciering, which
will not be duplicated very soon. The outside pub
lie was not in on that transaction.
And unless the history Of speculation changes, it is
hardly probable that the outside public will get on
the inside in very great numbers. Financial coups are
not run for that purpose. 1t is the man on the out
side who must stand the racket when settling time
comes.
II prosperity continues it will not be on account Of
speculation in stocks. The provfdent will use discre-
ton in making investments. Bona dde purchases are
now the only safe insurance against great losses.
Gates, as a Spectator and nothing else, may be bril-
liant, but his course cannot be initiated with profit by
the outside" public.

SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

Is it not about time for some of the Republican
newspapers to realize that the people Of Missouri
know the truth concerning the fiscal management Of
this State? Continuous garbiing Of the truth by these
organs has reached the point where nothing Is cred
tied without verifcation. The presumption is Of false
hood.
1t is natural that Secretary of State Cooks plain
statements regarding the sale Of the railroads in the
period when Republicans controlled the administra-
ton should make the defenders of those transactions
squirm. The issue is one which has few charms for
the short-sighted politicians who first took the mat
ter up.
The chief organ now remarks that las the sale Of
the roads enabled the Republicans to reduce the State
debt from $4,000, 900 to s21. 100000 in six years, the
transaction speaks for itself"
The transaction certainly does speak for itself.
The roads should have been sold for the entire amount
of the State debt, as the government held a first lien
on the properties.
If that had been done Missouri would have had no
debt during the past thirty years. That a debt re-
manned is a result of Republican misgovernment-
Taxpayers know these facts. Republican news
papers only call attention to their own duplicity when
they term such a "deal' Missouri's best transac-
tom; but then Republican newspapers have n habit
of picking up such hot bricks.
