 A handsome young woman, wearing a close-f1tting suit of blue, appeared at the corner of Broadway and Fulton street, shortly after noon yesterday. She looked in despair at the sea of mud and water before her. Then she lean- ed over and clutched her skirt very low, and about twenty men stopped and rubbered. Very slowly the skirt came up. but instead of high-heeled shoes and a foot or two of open-work stocking, it revealed a pair of rubber boots. The rubber necks tried to look the other way quickly when they saw how they had been fooled, but they weren't quick enough to miss the sweet smile which the young woman sent back in their direction as she stepped out into.

Certain yachtsmen of excellent stand

Certain yachtsmen of excellent stand ing criticize the committee severely, and accuse one member particularly of having decided before a sail was un- furled, that the Reliance was to defend the cup, says writer in sporting journal. This can hardly be true, and every good sportsman sincerely hopes it is not. The New York Yacht club is composed of as high class lot of men as any organization in the world can boast of, and 1t Is hard to believe that one of it's members would do such an unfair thing. Reliance is undoubtedly a marvellous craft, and those few who would see her relegated and Constitu- tion chosen as defender must have ex- cellent explanations in reserve. Amer ica will race Shamrock III with the best she has, and if she loses the cup, Sir Thomas will have the satisfaction of knowing that Nat Herreshoff has about played his last card in the game of designing. We may have another greater than he If so, the loss of the cup will bring him under the lime light.

 Started, but Plans Went Astray.
 Bridgeport, July 2.-It was not the fault of William D. Bishop, 3d, son of Lawyer William D. Bishop of this city who is widely known in Connecticut, and who was a candidate for congress at the last election that he did not sail for Europe on Saturday from Boston. He was both resourceful and daring, but his trick did not work. The young fellow, who is 15 years old, left here last Thursday with his mother and sis ter, Natala, for, Boston, where. they were to meet young lady, with whom Miss Bishop was to sail for Europe.
 William pleaded hard to accompany his sister on the voyage, but without avail; the only satisfaction he could obtain was the permission to see them off at the wharf They saw the young ladies aboard the Leland line steam ship Bohemian and again William pleaded to be allowed to go also. As no passage had been booked for him and his mother did not wish him to go anyway, such permission was natural Iy refused. Tn the crowds at the steamer young William became separ- ated from his mother, but she suppos- ed he would be on>hand when she came to leave. After the steamship sailed, Mrs Bishop, not having found her son, became worried and search was instituted. Just as she was be- coming desperate, the :. police boat Guardian arrived at the dock and turned her son over to her again.
 William, when permission to go to Europe had been denied him the last time. determined to go at any cost and slipped aboard the vessel just before her, departure. In some way, how ever, the officers of the ship found out that he was not booked to sail. Possi- bly, his sister informed them of the fact. At any tate when the Bohemia met the police boat which was cruis- ing around in the outer harbor, 1t was signaled to run alongside and young Bishop was requested to climb down the ladder and sail home again

A party of men under the leadership of Austin F. Harnes, of the Yale forest school, will be busy during the summer looking after the large preserve of Will liam H. Bartlett of Chicago, who has asked the bureau of forestry to make plan for handling the tract, which con- tains 210,OOO acres. The Bartlett tract lies in the Vermejo valley, south west of Trinidad, Col, on one of the spurs of the Rocky mountains, and borders on Colorado in one place. It was formerly part of an old Mexican land grant. MT Bartlett acquired it after the timber rights on nearly all the land had been sold. Lumbering of bull pine, the chief tree, is now go ing On, but most Of the timber rights will expire next year and the owner wants the land to become covered again with a good growth of forest. It will be necessary, in order to accom- plish this, to keep out fires and to i'm prove the natural reproduction of the trees. In cases it may be necessary to plant. The study will include the preparation of maps showing the topo- graphic features, the types of forest, the irrigation lands, and the lands where reproduction is well advanced. An entomologist will accompany the party +o study the harm done the trees by insects.

Sultan Abdul Hamid is in Constant
 Fear of Assassination.
 When walking one day in the park at Yildez the sultan came upon gar dener kneeling upon the ground, in tent on his work. Suddenly becoming aware of his royal masters approach the man rose up quickly, to assume more respectful attitude. Fatal move ment, for instantly, startled by the mans sudden uprising before him, in- stinctivelv suspecting treachery, the sultan drew his revolver and fired, and the man dropped dead at his feet When searched no weapon was found upon him, save gardening tools
 Abdul Hamid's groundless fears though they do not always have such tragic sequences, invariably lead to unpleasant scenes, the son of a former official of his court asserts, in an arti- cle which he contributed to the July Pearson's. Only great presence of mind on the part of a suspected per son will save the situation. Thus, a trusty minister, Hackin-Pacha, was in the sultan's room and noticed that a draught was annoying his majesty. rose to close the window, was enough to send the sultan's hand to the re- volver that lay concealed beneath a handkerchief, and it, was only by sit ting down as quickly as he had risen up that he escaped a bullet from the revolver.

 The New Haven Register is author ity for the statement that the act es- tablishing q state board of embalmers' examiners, which became effective yes terday, places the undertakers of the state in an embarrassing position, in that it imposes a penalty upon any person practicing or pretending to practice the profession of embalming dead human bodies without having complied with the provisions of the act, according to the same authority, all persons who shall desire to contin ue ill the profession of embalming af ter July 1 shall make written applica- ton to the board, duly attested sworn to and signed by two witnesses. Pro- vided the applicant shall have been ill business on January 1 1903 he may re- ceive q license without examination upon the payment of fee of 50.

 might be ready to enter the business after July l.. He said that the act did not affect those undertakers who were in business before July 1.

A SHAKESPEARE REVIVAL
Greatest of Dramatists Is Returning to
 Popularity Among Theater- goers.


 Popularity Among Theater-goers
 Theatrical managers, says Frank J. Wilstach, are seemingly unable to ac- count or give a satisfactory reason for the shift from the book play and soci- ety satire to Shakespeare and the classic drama.
 It is, of course, much easier to state q fact than to give a reason for it, but that managers and actors deem that the theater-going public is ready to lend its encouragement and support to something higher and better dramat- ically is self-evident.
 It can hardly be said that a dearth of good plays has driven managers or actors to Shakespeare. Viola Allen has her play for the year after next al- ready in hand, and could, if she liked. present itsinstead of Twelfth Night" next season; Nat Goodwin has several plays which are to his liking, and which he will be seen in later on; MT Mansfield has his repertoire, which has never failed to draw, and MT Sothern, despite the extraordinary drawing power of "If I Were King" continues to appear as Hamlet, and profitably. Miss Marlowe has already had her fling at Shakespeare, and she is one of the few of our prominent actresses who will stick to the modern drama next season. --r f -.
 When examined closely, the idea of some that the plays of Shakespeare, following so closely upon the drama tized novel era, are likely to prove un- attended. If the public is really weary of the dramatized novel. what more natural than that something fine and ennobling should serve to take its place and captivate and delight the theater- goers.
 Shakespeare, both in Europe and America, has spelled a shower of gold whenever artistically presented. In England MT Irving, MT Tree and MT Greet have found their reward in Shakespeare, and in America we have only to point to MT Daily. Mime Mod- jeska, Miss Mar1owe. MT Mansfield, Mir sothern and Messrs Ward and James.

WHERE WALKING IS WORK.

In Constantinople It is a Fierce and
 Active Struggle.
 To walk in Constantinople is like a fierce and active struggle. One should look at once before, behind and under meath ones feet; some danger or dis gust is always threatening. I never walked up the steep road which leads from the bridge to Pera without the feeling that I was fighting my way through a hostile city. A horn blown furiously and black man runs up the hill, clearing the way before the dash ing and struggling horses of the tram. At the same moment a cab drives at full speed down the hill, and the horses set their feet on the pavement. In front of you a man balances slices of offal on a long pole across his shoul- der; they dangle before and behind; he swings cheerfully with his, burden through the crowd.

THE SUN PARLOR.
Like the Plants in the Garden, the Hu,

Like the Plants in the Garden, the Hu'
 man Family Thrives on Sunshine.
 Sunshine is one of the most import ant of the life-giving elements. The home which is, hidden in the shade of many trees, heavy with foliage, may look very attractive on summer days. but a house too closely surrounded by shade is not so healthy a place in which to live as one more open to the sunlight. So with building a home with inside" rooms no room should be without a window. Even clothes closets should be ventilated. while as for dark bedrooms" they should nev- CT, under any circumstances. be intro duced into2a house. The human fam fly needs sunshine, whereby to thrive, as much as the plants in the garden.
 When person is i'll the physician often recommends a bright, sunny room for the invalid. Now, If sun shine is good for one when i'll, why is it not good as prevention of sickness? When this idea of the need of sun shine, which has been advanced for years, is fully comprehended, every house, besides being we'll lighted gen erally. will have a ''sun room,'' ''sun parlor," if you please, which will be frequented by the family more than any other apartment in the home. It will. if possible, be room facing the south. Perhaps it may be a corner room and face both the south and the east The numerous windows will be continual delight and it will be so arranged that in case of actual illness it may be used separately from the rest of the house.
 The walls of this magic room will be painted, and the floors finished in hard wood, and not more, than one small rug be allowed, which may be placed by the bed, if one is ill This will be carefully shaken out of doors every day. and so kept free from dust. The furniture must be very simple, mostly of wood or willow, and if pill lows are used the covers must be washable. Tn this sun parlor the in valid will have every chance to recov- CT, and when all are in health the room will prove a nice place for the children to play'on cold days, when out of door games are out of the question.

One of Augustus bestowed citizens
is removed in the death of Winfield
Scott Choate. Few men are so fortu-
nate as he was in winning the hearts
of those with whom they come in con-
tact. In this hour of bereavement the
loss of a faithful public servant, n
leader in the great work of Masonry,
and a man conspicuous in the civic,
military, social and religious life of the
community, is less prominent in our
minds than the loss of the friend and
neighbor whose every impulse was gen.
erous and noble, whose sympathies
were broad and whose manly character
was ain inspiration to us all. Our city,
and every city, has too few such men
as MIR. Choate. The place he leaves
vacant in the prime of his manhood
cannot be filled.
