Styles In women's Belts.

"There is always something new in
women's BELTS" said Howard Cohen to
a reporter of the Milwaukee Sentinel.
II have come here (Milwaukee) with
samples Of 341 kinds, some of them
new and some of them belts that have
been in style for seasons The staple
belt for this season will be in soft
fabrics, and in a few days a glove belt,
made Of kid and stitched to resemble
the back of a glove, with pearl clasps,
like a French glove, will be put on the
market. The most startling, ultra nov
ell fad will be of canvas, silk lined and
marked in Bulgarian designs. How
long these extreme. fads will be in
style would be difficult to forecast, for
the belt is the portion of a woman's at
tire which usually exhibits most of her
eccentricities."

The First PlOwinr.


Calls the crow from the pine tree top
When the April air is still;
He calls to the farmer hitching his team
In the farmyard under the hill.
'Come up he cries; 'come out n come
up,
For the high fields ripe to till!
Don't wait for word from the dandelion
Or leave from the daffodil."
Cheeps the fycatcher: Here old earth
Warns up in the April sur,
And the first ephemera, wings yet wet,
From the mold creep one by one.
Under the fence where the flies frequent
Is the earliest gossamer spun.
Come up from the damp of the valley
lands,
For here the winters DONE"
Whistles the highhole out of the grove.
His summoning loud and clear:
"Chilly it may be down your way,
But the high south field has cheer.
On the sunward side of the chestnut
stump
The wood grubs wake and appear.
Tome out to your blowing; come up to
your blowing
The time for blowing is here"
Then dips the Golfer and drives the share,
lnd the burrows family steam;
The crow drifts furtively down from the
pine
To follow the %clanking team;
The f1ycatcher tumbles; the highhole
darts
In h young Moons yellow CLEAN,
And wholesome sweet the smell Of the sod
Upturned from its winters dream.

The average age Of the Japanese ma
w is lower than that of any other ma
Wy in the world. No one over twenty
years old is accepted for enlistment.
The average height is five feet four
inches, less than the average height Of
any other navy in the world.
Diet has entered largely into their
training. Our sailors eat rice, vegeta-
bles and fish principally. We find that
q simple diet is more nutritious than
meat. although poultry and ham are
served to them. ice forms the main
article Of food, and much Of the hardi-
mood as well as the strength comes
from this fare, simple as it is. l might
add that this simple diet extends to the
army of Japan.
Ihe sailors are given six months
training ashore before they are as
signed to ships. This training, which
Is very thorough, is given at the naval
barracks at Yokosuka, Kure, Sasebo
and Maidsuru. During the six months
training ashore the sailors are given
daily drills and much exercise. Then
they are examined for their fitness by
naval officers and are sem to ships in
commission. After serving on these
ships for two or three years the most
intelligent men are sent to the gunnery
and torpedo schools at Yokosuka bar
racks. Here special attention is given
to craftsmanship, and the men are
drilled in finding range and gun point
1ng. The most expert become gun cap
talns and man the guns in the turrets
or the big battleships. In the target
practice, which has been carried on
very extensively in the Japanese navy,
special dotterS are used as a substitute
Tor expensive shells. The dotter is an
electrical instrument attached to the
gun. b practice in finding range and
pointing by it is the same as if a big
shell were fired from a big gun.
The manner of directing the Japa-
nese navy in wartime differs from
that in use in the American navy. Ev-
cry order given to commanding admi-
rails goes by order of the grand gen.
eral war board, called the daihonyei in
Japanese. Baron Yamamoto is the ma
val minister, and Admiral Ito is chief
OF the naval general staff. Admiral To-
go is commander of all the fleets. The
war board may meet at Tokyo or at
any place where the emperor may be.
The emperor is the supreme head Of
both the army and the navy.

tons. These propositions were:
First-TO discontinue the roll calls
and vote by secret ballot. This came
from a Deneen delegate, but was 1e-
pudiated by Deneen and most of the
other candidates.
Second-TO refer the governorship
bach to the party through primaries to
be held on the same day throughout
n state. This vas proposed by
Yates, but the other candidates were a
unit against the plan, and it was lost
by a vote of two to one.
Third-That the candidates be re-
quested to release their delegates
from further obligations and permit
them to vote regardless of instance.
This resolution is pending before the
resolution committee.
Both Yates and Deneen are opposed
to it and it will probably be beaten if
1t gets out of the committee.
The subcommittee to which was re-
ferred the Stewart resolution releas-

resolution favorably to the full commit

pass it out to the convention. The
Yates and Deneen leaders have mutual
ly decided to offer no opposition. In
that case the vote in the convention
for the resolution will be unanimous.

Washington, June 2.-It is under
stood that the price fixed by the
Moorish %bTigands for the release from
captivity of Messrs. PerGicaris and
Marley is $4,000.
London, June 2.--The British minis.
ter at Tangier, acting on instructions
from the foreign office here. is CO.
operating with the French minister in
the %enGeavor to secure the release Of
Messrs. Perdicaris and Marley. 1t is
believed here that if the captives' re-
lease is possible it can best be achiev-
ed through French influence. There
is no intention at present to send a
British fleet or squadron to Tangier.
Spain is fully informed of the course
of action being pursued, and fully con
ours with the British and American
action in utilizing French intervention.
BY this means it is thought here the
sultan of Morocco will be enabled to
bring such pressure to bear on Raisuli,
the bandit, chief, as to compel him to
release his captives without necessitat-
ing the forcible Intervention of either
of the nations to which the captives
belong.

ALL BECAUSE A BULL FIGHT WAS
NOT PULLED OFF.
Gov. DOCKERY STOPS The SHOW
licensed Mob Fires One Of the
Worlds Fair Buildings Because
They Could not Get Money Beck
Paid to See the Fight.

ST. LOUlS-Incensed over their
failure to see q genuine Spanish bull
fight" which the authorities had Or
dered stopped, a riot was started in
an arena near the Worlds Fair
grounds Sunday evening by a crowd
of $500 men and boys who were I'M
able to get their money back and
the building was burned to the
ground. The price of admission
charged was 81. Four men were
placed under arrest by the authori-
ties Of St. Louis county, charged with
the destruction of property.
The crowd, thinking these men
were connected with the show, made
an attempt to mob them and in their
encounter with the deputy sheriffs a
number were roughly handled and
some received scalp wounds. The
building is said to have cost $4,000.
1t is a total loss with no insurance.
The initial performance by the COM
pany of Spanish bull fighters had been
advertised widely for Sunday, but
Governor Dockery, to whom numer,
Gus protests had been made by ell
gious and human societies, ordered
that it should not be allowed to take
place. Despite these orders a large
crowd assembled in the arena at the
advertised time of opening.
Before the regular performance a
number cowboys drove in some bulls
which they ran around the arena in
true wild west style. The crowd soon
became tired of this and called for
the bull fight.
The announcement was then made
that the bull fight would be proceeded
with. AS the matadors came into the
ring, a county official stepped up to
the oun and handed him n pa
per, informing him that the proposed
show could not take place. WheL
this became known to the crowd they
leaped into the arena and demanded
the return Of their money. Failing
to get this, the crowd went to the
office, which was located in a small!
building outside the arena, and be-
gan to stone the structure.
This was followed by attempts to
burn the arena, which is an immense
building constructed of pine. Bits of
burning paper were thrown at the
woodwork and finally some went in
side and dropped a lighted match in
q pile Of hay under the arena. The
whole structure was soon on fire and
before long was in ruins.
A call was made for the fire depart
ment, but the single engine that re-
sponded stuck in the mud and there
was nothing to stop the flames. The
fire department OF the Worlds fair
was called out to protect the eXposi-
.'or buildings, Should it become nee
Esary, but as the wind blew In an
other direction, there was no danger.
