THE WORLD REcoILs.
Horror-stricken at Appalling slaugh-
ter in Far East-Tragedy Strong
Appeal for Peace.


Toxic, Oct. 17.-There is q strong ap-
peal for peace in the appalling tragedy
which Is now. under enactment In Man
churia. Both armies have fought fero-
ciously for a week and desperate fight
ing still continues. It Is probable that
the death roll will be largely increased
before the final shot is fired. The pre-
liminary reports indicate that about co.
600 men of both sides have been either
killed or wounded. the larger portion of
them being Russians, since the armies
OF the two belligerents closed In combat.
Even the Japanese, to whom the great
victory Is Of paramount Importance,
seem to be shocked by the slaughter Of
their enemies. The Japanese people are
receiving the news from the field Of bat
tie calmly and there can be heard no
shouts in the streets proclaiming the
victory of their nation. Few flags are
displayed. Probably later on there will
be a procession with the consequent jol-
LITIGATION, but there are heard many ex-
pressions OF opinion that no demonstra-
ton of any kind should be held.
A member of the diplomatic corps. in
an interview, said: 81 believe the world
will recoil from the, sickening slaugh-
ter OF this battle. Every interest of hui
mainly demands the adjustment Of the
differences between the two nations, and
the proclamation of peace. The situa-
ton between the two belligerents Is a
delicate one. but what splendid tri-
umph for diplomacy 1t would be II peace
could be arranged. 1t seems to me that
the question of honor is no longer in
volved.- If Russia feels that such ques-
ton Is involved. surely the heroic and
successful defense Of Port Arthur and
the valor shown by Russian soldiers on
the fields of Manchuria should forever
determine the quality of Russian cour-
age. Russians should remember that
the distance dividing her strength and
the limitations Of her railway are his
torical factors in this war. These fac
tors are generally known. They are APP
preciated by everybody, and are not
looked upon as faults"

New York, the owners of the Potter
building and other famous men Of the
metropolis. His beautiful wife, Cora
Urquhart Potter, had been on the stage
for some years when, In 1900, he obtained
a divorce. He has always lived quietly
and has never offended against taste In
any way. His beautiful daughter, left in
his custody by the separation, has made
an excellent match.
Remains, Of course, the Episcopalian
objections to the remarriage of church
members, but that command has been
broken In so many families, that 1t now
excites no surprise. 1t is curious coin
cidence that 1t has been disregarded in
the immediate families both OF the
bishop OF New York and of the late
Bishop Littlejohn, OF Brooklyn, whose
daughter was divorced from her hus-
band, noted lawyer there. Nor has the
Potter objection the use OF ones talents

BLAME Is FIXED.
Commission Investigating the Slocum
Horror Makes It's
Report.

Washington, Oct. 17.-In a scathing
and volumnious report made public Mon
day the responsibility for the Gen. Slocum
disaster, which occurred on June Is last,
was definitely lodged upon officials Of
the New York steamboat inspection
service by the United States commission
appointed on June % to investigate and
report upon the cause of the fire in which
1000 persons persisted.
In connection with the report is pre-
sented letter from President Roosevelt
to Secretary Victor III. Metcalf, of the
department of commerce and labor, re-
viewing the report of the commission
and directing him to discharge from the
public service all inspectors to whose
inefficiency and neglect the disaster was.
according to the commission, largely at
tributable.
In accordance with the presidents in
structions, Robert s. Bodie, supervising
inspector of the Second district steam
boat inspection service, and James A.
Dumont and Thomas H. Barrett, local
inspectors in charge of the port of New
York, will be discharged.
The findings of the commission upon
which President Roosevelt based his
recommendations are that the fire appa-
ratus of the Gen. Slocum was sadly in
efficient; that the master made no eff
fort to fight the fire; that the pilots had
ample time and opportunity to beach
the vessel before the flames had secured
much Roadway; that the officers and
crew were negligent in the discharge of
their duty; and that the system Of steam
boat inspection in New York was grossly
lax and negligent

made for schooling outside the school,
The free lecture system Is only 16 years
old; It grew from small begin
nings through the faith of a
few, whom Dr. Leipziger, the
superintendent, has always led. 1t has
been threatened time and again with
extinction as an improper use of tax
money! The last threat was uttered only
last winter.
Yet 140 free evening lecture courses are
now in operation in as many public
schools. The halls cost nothing but
heating and lighting. Some of the most
talented people Of the city offer their
services as a public duty for the nom
inal fee of $40 per evening. A quarter
of a million people may be hearing the
course in any evening. The schools OF
New York are the most expensive In the
world; the lecture system, considering
the advantages 1t offers to so many peo-
pie for amusement and information, is
very cheap. 1t makes use Of the civic
pride of New York's best citizens-and
of these the city has plenty.
At the top of the public school system
is the college of the city of New York.
1t has been called big high school. It
Is more than that, ranking with the
smaller state universities of the south
and west. At the top Of the free lecture
system are such admirable offerings as
the illustrated talks in the great hall of
the natural history museum by enthusi-
astic scientists who there are building
up the great collections of American ex-
hibits.

ATTACKED BY PARKER.
Democratic Candidate for President
Denounces Republican Philip
pine Policy.

Esopns. N. Y, Oct. 17.-Alton B.
Parker, democracy's candidate for the
presidency, made his first formal cam
paign speech here Saturday afternoon to
delegation representing the Parker In
dependent club and the Avon Beach Reg
ular Democratic club of Long Island. Mr..
Parker limited his speech to discussion
OF the Philippine question. He main
tanned that the republican policy of
"subjugation Of defenseless foreign peo-
pies" already had cost the United States
over $3.50 10000 and more than zoe, 900
lives
He declared that the republican policy
refuses to promise independence for the
Filipinos now, or at any time, or upon
any condition, and that 1t does not even
leave open the door Of hope He said that
the democrats propose to prepare the
Filipinos as rapidly as possible for self
governement and promise them freedom
as soon as they are prepared forit.
Mr.. Parker asserted that conditions In
the Philippines are bad. He quoted an
unnamed Student of conditions" as de-
claring that many officials in the Islands
are inefficient, dishonest, corrupt, and
despotic," the Every dregs of our peo-
pie"
He quoted the same authority as de-
claring further that "the situation in the
Philippines to-day Is SO terrible that it
passes the comprehension of people at
home. Alphabetically the country is
ruined, land is going out of cultivation.
the population is Ill fed, the country is
overburdened with taxation, the towns
In ruins"
Mr.. Parker declared that the country
should hasten to the relief Of such a sit
uation. He said: Our duty to the Fill
pinos demands promise Of independ-
ence. But II 1t did not our own interest
demands that we be relieved of the Fill
pinos just as soon as they are reason
ably prepared for self-government. A
colony holding nation is ever subject to
expensive wars with other nations and
with its colonies.
81 warn the republican party that it is
not an unheard Of proposition that an OPP
pressed use the term advisedly-an
oppressed people should be FESTIVE. Con-
tinue as we are doing to Cypress these
people and one Of the most vexed ques-
tions that this nation has ever been
called upon to deal with will confront us

REMEDY FOR MOSQUITOES.
London Women Discover That San

Getting Rid Of Pests.

London women have discovered an
agreeable way Of Kidding their homes OF
flies and mosquitoes, says the Chicago
Tribune. They burn sandalwood in the
house, an idea imported from the orient.
In London 1t is possible to get wood pre-
pared for the purpose. In America it is
to be had at almost any Turkish or Japa-
nese importing house. 1t is then pre-
pared for burning by being first cut into
small pieces on-half inch thick end
three inches long.
Then it Is baked or dried out in slow
oven "a hours. A piece of the wood Is
put into metal urn, lighted and allowed
to burn until we'll af1ame. when the flame
is extinguished and the redhot ember
left to smolder until the wood is con-
sumed and nothing is left but q heap OF

RELIABLE FASHION NOTES.
Mue. Baker Chats About Toilet Kinks
and Describes Two New
Shirtwaist Suits.

Nine. Baker, the famous fashion ex-
pert, chats Interestingly about the lit
tie things that stamp the costume as
good or bad, in the American Dress
maker. Among other things she says
that the short skirt should set out q
little in the back as our old godet
backs used to; this effect is only given
by the narrow crinoline facing across
the back. The skirt must always tilt
up a little; if cut the same length all
around it will have this look.
1t has been thought that the long
coats or redingotes could only be used
with the sweeping skirt, bur if they set
out well in the back they can be and
are worn with STYLE These long coats
seem to call for lace cravats, and the
latter are very prettily made OF wide
net lace insertions. either tied in loops
or knots drawn through finger rings.
Belts are of every shape-wide or
narrow, as best suits the figure.
Winter gowns will have the same un-
lined collars, cuffs and small yokes that
have been used this. summer, and sep
arate yokes and collars or chemisettes
and undersleeyes have come to stay.
Isn't it comfort to have something
for the neck that is easily removed and
cleaned?
. No more pendants are used, even on
elaborate evening coats, but stiff, fiat,
old-fashioned velvet bows are on
everything.
Many skirts are following the lines
of the apron overskirt, and ruffles are
put on as in former years; low in front,
running high on the sides and then
down in the back again.
Pinked ruf1es and plaitings should
stand up now instead of lying down;
this necessitates lacking edges to hold
in place.
Do not attempt to make plated
skirt from circular pattern. A gore
for every plat is the safest and best
rule. and when a 21-gored skirt is men
toned, it Is not skirt in narrow
strips, but laid in plaits.
A pretty trimming is made of satin
ribbons plated all one way on one
edge and reversed on the opposite side.
This is used to separate bands, to head
lace and as scrolls.
Do not put lace on long or short
coats, unless very elaborate ones for
evening wear; and, finally, let me ad-
wise you to train your eye to detect
every slight change in fashion. In
