Admiral Charles E. Clark, who took the battleship Oregon around Cape Horn and into action at Santiago, is said to owe his appointment as com mander of that boat to his skill as a chess player. Captain Clark was at San Francisco in command of the gum boat Bennington. When ashore he spent much time in the cheesroom of the Mechanics Library, where he met some of the best players in the city. According to the story, when the time to appoint man to command the Ore gon friend of Clark's in the navy de- pertinent at washington put his name forward. You should see the man play chess said he, and went on to
 describe his intense application and determination, adding: And that's why I think he can bring the battleship around safely if anyone can" Three hours later Clark received orders to
 assume command of the Oregon and
 take her at once to Cuban waters.

furnished them. When arangements had been made to take them up by railroad. something else was wrong. and the reg irnent declined to go under any condi- tions. Major Eldridge's battalion of the Eighth Massachusetts. also in the Brown force, declined to make the march. with the exception of Captain Canfeld's company, which walked the whole distance. Later. however. most of the rebellious battaIions arrived by train.
 In other words the work demanded was too much for men who had come to the task from sedentary occupations, and was work which should have been expected only from seasoned veterans or old campaigners. The militia suffer- ed from exhaustion, caused by lack of sleep and irregular meals For instance, one of the regiments had only five hours for sleep in a stretch of forty hours, when it was forced to fight" all Thursday night and then march thirty miles before returning to camp. Many men had to fall out of line completely jaded out and exhausted. However. the mimic battle of Bull Run is over and the military authorities will know bet ter next time.

THE WOMEN OF JAPAN.

 They Sacrifice Their Chief Charm in
 Memory of Fallen Soldier Husbands.
 Foreigners in Japan disagree as to the attractiveness of the Japanese wo-
 men. They disagree not whit, how ever, as to the beauty of the hair
 which adorns the head of the homeliest little woman of Japan. Dark, lustrous, of q length to fall to the knees or the
 heels when free, but arranged always With the exquisite orderlines and the artistic effectiveness which shows the
 pride of woman in her supreme
 adornment itscrowns the lady and the lcoolie's wife alike with the coiffure of
 a princess. Throughout Japan to-day, a sight so unusual as to seize and hold
 attention, is to be seen. Young native
 women on the streets, some with their tiny brown babes on their backs, bow heads which are completely shorn of their beauty. Sometimes, standing be- fore a temple of the god of war, you l will see a Japanese woman attaching
 to the bamboo pole supporting a ban Iner black and glossy streamer. It is l I4LSA 1loAls 1nc BdllllCIs COillillclilOTdlcS the departure of her husband for the front. It was carried by his friends and neighbors in procession to the sta
 tion from which he departed to the
 war. Then it was placed with the ban lners of other soldiers before the temple door, and his wife has come to 1t, daily, alone or with his babes, to gaze upon ! the lettering which announces his glory and her pain. Some day word comes that the husband has fallen upon the field. Then the young widow, young,
 because Japan sent only the flower of her youth to the front, shears off her hair and carries it to the banner, to
 which she attaches 1t, a mourning drape.
 This dusky yelling on a soldiers ban lner means that he will not come back.
 It means that the banner will rest be-
 fore the temple till 1t is worn and beat en to nothing by the weather. For, if a.

THE FA.R .t succEss.

The big fair at St. Louis will be a financial success as well as grand ex- position of the worlds wonders. Owing to the vastness of the undertaking, fears were entertained that the great enterprise would prove a sink hole for money, and that some folks, including Uncle Sam would have to fish down deep into their pockets to meet the de- ficiency. This apprehension has van- ished. Of the government loan of s4,- 6Oo,0oo more than one-half has been paid off and discharged. Secretary Shaw no longer looks upon himself as a possible receiver for the enterprise and there is balance on the right side of the ledger after providing for the installments of the loan and the per diem expense of s65,0Oo. This is most creditable and also gratifying to the. worlds fair managers, and to the coun- try at large.

to which he is subjected. Hence scien- tists agreed upon the horse as the most suitable animal for the production of antidiphtheria serum. He stands the injection of the diphtheria toxin without any apparent. discomfort and furnishes great amounts of serum from time to time.
 The horses selected for the purpose are all between four aud six years old when purchased and perfectly healthy. Wholesome food Is of the utmost im- portance to the proper execution of the irnmunizing process. The more inciEorating the diet. the greater is the animals tolerance of the diphtheria poison or toxin, and the more potent the serum 1t eventually produces. The horses arec arefully groomed and ex- ercised every day.
 In the establishment sheltering the white horse, to which this narrative pertains, large, sunny paddocks ad- join the stables, giving the animals ample room for exercise; on stormy days covered space, sufficient for so horses at time, Is used for this pur- pose. The operating room is a light, airy, aseptic and capacious chamber. The cement floors and painted and vanished brick walls are readily and thoroughly sterilized with carbolic acid solution. Heavy, close-fitting double doors render this apartment practically air-tight and germ-proof.

TIE PnEsIDnN1,s ACCEPTANCE.

 President Roosevelt's letter of accept ance of his nomination for the Pres idency, which will be found in full in another part of this issue is docu- ment os extraordinary strength and forcgtuliless. He notes in opening the difficulty of finding out from the Demo- crats what are the issues upon which they propose to fight this campaign and hints pretty strongly that they are all at sea as regards campaign issues and at loss to know what they really
 do believe. This IS not the case with the party in control The Republican party has it's convictions, it's principles, knows where it stands and has nothing to conceal. The Republican party bas- es it's appeal upon it's record of admin istration and legislation. The party proposes to carry on its good work just as it has been doing. ...
 President Roosevelt then gives some hot shot to the Democratic party, ar arraigning it as a party divided on most vital issues and only united upon issues which threaten disaster to the country. "A party" he adds, which with tacile ease changes all It's convic- tions before election cannot be trusted to adhere with tenacity to any princi- pie after election" "A party fit to govern must have convictions. The Republican party enters the campaign with no wavering or uncertainty, with record of triumphs. ........
 The President then treats of his ac- tion in the Isthmian Canal question; speaks of the settlement of the Alaska boundary line; refers to our giving Cuba, after making her free, reciprocal trade advantages; refers to our Philip pine Island policy, to our Chinese poli- cy, to our upholdng the honor of our flag and protection of the lives of citi- zens in foreign countries; to the pen sion question: the civil service legis- lation; to the prosperity of the country under Republican administrations, to our merchant marine and to various other vital topics. The letter makes excellent recalling and invites most careful perusal as a vindication of the Republican party and as a campaign document of great force and ability.

It isn't hard to believe that the fur season is near at hand-the summer has been a short one-and winter will no doubtbe correspondingly long. Pre- pare for 1t with good warm furs. Our workroom facilities for repairing, remodeling, and redying furs are unex- celled anywhere in New England. The styles for Fall and Winter are estab- hshed and our models. patterns. etc, are ready for the work.
 As furriers we feel that too muck stress cannot be laid on the absolute necessity of having your fur work done by those qualified by years of experi- ence to properly handle the furs. Our prices are always right. If you have in mind new fur pieces or desire to have those you now own repaired, or renodeled, come in and we will cheerfully give you correct estimates as to the cost.

The sun is misty misty yellow and the sky is And the chime-bells ring out quaint
 1y,
 Near and deeply, fair and faintly, Each one following it's fellow in an
 echo clear and true. Through the streets clean-swept for t,2l leisure,
 Many feet make haste toward pleas
 ure,
 And the sound is as the rustling of the
 leaves in paths we knew, How wish I were a-walking in the
 Autumn paths with you! ss Oh, the fragrance of the holIows that
 the little brooks ran throughI on. the scarlet naples burning On the way my spirit follows in a
 dream forever new Where from quiet, distant meadows, Dim beneath the mountains shad-
 ows,
 Came the clank of swinging cow-bells . down the softest wind that blew. Oh, wish were a-Walking in the Au-
 tumn woods with you! We have had our fill of rowing where
 Spring blossoms bound the view, We have played in your Romances, Danced the nymph-and-sh shepherd
 dances, Now the Summer of our loving glows
 and throbs about us, too. In our eye the light yet vernal, 4 Tn our hearts the fire eternal, And when time has touched the branch
 es and our rose-Ieaf days are few, Oh, it's then I'll still be walking in
 lifes Autumn woods with you!

HoRsE THAT sAYEp LIYEs.

Far from Nepera. quietly munching her oats in the stable of the largest
 biological laboratory on earth, stood
 a gentle white mare. unmindful of the fact that a miracle had been worked through her, or what would have been regarded as one in the olden days.
 She had saved the lives of 5000 dis
 ease stricken children since she had
 entered the mammoth establishment
 that had been her home during the past two years. and would soon be
 retired to the country to recover from
 the facilitating effect of the repeated
 bloodletting to which she had been
 subjected in the interest of humanity. The substance obtained from her
 blood that enumerated the diphtheria toxin, or poison, was prepared by a method consisting of a number of steps. The horse is immune to diph-
 theria by nature, and this immunity lis greatly increased by the treatment
