HIGH TRIBUTE TO HAY.
Ablest of Living Diplomats, Says the
London spectator"

AoleSC OF Living OlplomatS, says INC
London Spectator"
A special cable dispatch to the New York
Sun from London says:
THE Spectator, in connection with the
signing of the commercial treaty between
the United States and China, including the
clause providing for the opening of Mukden
and Tatungta on October 8. devotes an arti
Gle to Secretary of State Hay. 1t says:
1T Is the browning proof that he is one
OF the ablest and most successful of living
diplomatists. or rather foreign ministers.
The incident affords a useful opportunity
for considering Mr.. Hays place among the
worlds statesmen, and noting the qualities
that have raised him to that great position.
His ruling qualities are serenity, firmness,
duty, and wide knowledge of men and
affairs. without trace Of the bully or blus-
terer in his composition. He is never awed,
not merely by other men. kind of courage
which Is not uncommon, but he Is never
awed by rumor, circumstance or the crea-
ton of bOgies of any kind"
The Spectator pays high tribute to Mr..
Hays behavior as ambassador to England.
especially during the Spanish war. when
man who was considered to be only brill
liant man Of letters proved a true states
man. The Spectator attributes his Calm
ness, self-possession and quiet ability to
meet and hold his own with the ablest for
eign diplomatists to his training as Presi-
dent Lincoln's secretary during period
which made the Spanish war seem a storm
in tea cup. The article closes by ex-
pressing regret that President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Hay and others do not collect young
men around them and train them in a
similar manner for few years as secre-
taries since such training would be inval-
liable If in later years they were called to
serve the state.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
CUMBERLAND. Md, August 22-The
opening OF the Coal and Iron extension of
the West Virginia Central from Elkins to
Durbin shortens the distance between
Washington and Charleston, w. Va, about
eighty miles. At Durbin connection is made
with the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.
The distance from Washington to Charles
ton over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
via. Parkersburg Is $40 miles, while 1t is
$50 miles via Elkins and the Coal and Iron
railroad. When the connecting link be-
tween Cumberland and Cherry Run is com
pleted the Wabash system via Elkins. w.
Va, will be the shortest route between the
Potomac and the Ohio rivers. When the
Coal and Coke railroad is completed to
connect with the Charleston, Clendenn. n
will be lessened by from fifty to seyenty-
five miles over the Coal and Iron route via
Durbin. which Is now the shortest route
from this section to Charleston
The stockholders of the Charleston Glen
DENIM and Sutton railroad at a meeting
in Elkins decided to close the business of
that road and sell 1t to the Coal and Coke
railroad. This will make one continuous
line from Elkins to Charleston via Sutton
when completed. WHICH will take at least
eighteen months' timew
The consolidated road is controlled by ex-

Shopping In Italy.
From Harper's Bazaar.


An Italian once became so indscreet a. to
be frank, and admitted that there were
three prices in 1taly-one for the CONT
mental one for the English and one for the
American He did not state which price
was the highest, nor need the humble
scribe; the superfluous is only for space
writing.
To an American, haggling over prices en-
bodies both the bitter and the sweet; the
mere act of bargaining is blow to his self
respect. but to bargain successfully is a
direct appeal to his keen speculativee in
stinct. Shopping in Italy has the charm of
novelty, and besides that inducement it is
an agreeable sensation to the American wo-
man 10 feel that even the highest Italian
price is less than the lowest one of her
country. BY this is meant good laces and
embroideries-indeed, handwork of all
kinds; gloves silk stockings, but not silk
itself, unless 1T is OF that kind known as
Roman; the products of the goldsmith and
silversmith; coral. shell, glass. wood cary
ing and many pretty baubles which make
inexpensive gifts. Strangely enough under
wear Is ungainly or expensive. cloth. OF
course. not to be considered, and the pur-
chase of ready made clothing a sure road to
tears and regret. In 1.-The states only
have the ready-made garments reached a
satisfactory result in fit and price.

An Era of Canals.

From the New York Tribune.
1t may have no determinative bearing
upon our own canal problem, but at least
1t may be OF contemporary human interest
to observe what some other nations are
doing in the way OF canal construction. We
have hitherto spoken of the success of the
Manchester ship canal in England, of the
proposed Forth-Clyde ship canal In Scot
land and of the enormous extension and
Improvement of Canada's canal system and
the consequent increase of her commerce
at our expense. The German empire too
in the last ten years has devoted about
S100puOD TO canal construction. making
a network OF canals all over the country,
and is by no means yet through with the
work. Austria Hungary has committed
herself to the expenditure of S65. 600 coo in
the next nine years on artificial water
courses some of them connecting with the
German canals. so that the Rhine and Elbe
and Oder and Main and Vistula and Danube
Will all be united by means Of commodious
and well-equipped canals.
Even more noteworthy perhaps is the
Italian program. That energetic and pro
gressive country the most remarkable ex-
ample of national renascence in the history
of the world. has recently spent enormous
sums upon an laborate system OF railroads
which is now becoming highly profitable
Now IL proposes to expand its system of
canals and "canalized' rivers. There are
already in northern Italy 1877 miles of such
waterways. The construction of 434 miles
more is about to be undertaken. This will
connect all the existing canals and make a
united system of 2111 miles. The cost of
the improvements will be nearly So, O00 600
but IL is estimated that about one-third of
that sum will be Immediately recouped
through the development of water power
for industrial purposes and of irrigation for
agriculture.

Training for Women Architects.


AS to the training which Is necessary for a
woman architect. If it Is possible. she should
obtain a college education. for this is tho
best foundation for any profession, and
the mental training thug received is of in
estimable value. After leaving college she
should enter one of the best .,ef the schools
OF architecture which are open to women
II this Is not possible she should not
choose a second rate school AS an al
Tentative, 1t would be far better for her to
study architecture and designing under the
advice OF some good architect or professor
of architecture. If she should be so for
tunate as to find such a one who is willing
to help her. If she cannot do this, let her
ask good practical draughtsman who has
been through the schools DO lay out q
course OF study for her to follow. Under
no consideration should she, attempt to
study architecture through correspondence
OF the greatest value to students Of other
professions, 1t is time and money wasted
for student of architecture to attempt
to learn her profession by absent treat
ment.''
She should read the histories of architec-
ture-Rosengarten's work for styles in gen.
eral, T. Roger Smiths for Gothic, Won
Reber's Medieval and Classical Archi-
lecture, and, II she can read French,
Violett-le-Duc's is very useful. The study
OF classical orders and academical design
is the best basis that one can have Wig
