kind of nonsense. We still con-
tinue to fight or by force of brute
strength compel the submission of
weaker nations Once upon time
l was in fight and got licked and
ever since I have been an advocate
of peace between nations as we'll
as men. But when peacemaker
says that war between nations or
men is at an end, he is lacking in
common sense. Human nature
does not turn color in a day or
even a century. There is just as
much sense in saying that war is a
thing of the past as there is in say
ing that there will never be any
more rain. It is more than proba-
BILE that the rising generation,
maybe the present generation, will
witness some of the most bloody
conflicts of human history. l be-
lieve the next twenty years will be
a remarkable epoch indeed if it
does not bring forth some over
whelming and destructive wars.
This is obvious when we note how
several of the powerful nations
are encroaching upon each other
and adding to their fighting equip
ments. National greed and love
of power are as strong and active
as ever they were, and strong and
active they always will be. 1t is a
human trait, government is but a
body of men, and for these things
men will fight. The car of prog
ress glldes smoothly on it's way,
but it will always have a recepta-
Gle for munitions of war.

RED, GREEN, VIOLET DIAMONDS.

What is said to be the choicest lot of colored diamonds ever received in this country was carried from the steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm when she arrived here by NJ. A. Horentz, the trusted representative Of a Paris jew eler The precious stones were con cealed in belt strapped about the Frenchman's waist and he was guard ed closely by two assistants.
 The value of the stones is 1,571 GOO francs. They are destined for exhi- bition in St Louis and will be taken to that city to-day. Naturally, no statement of the movements of M. Horentz and his companions whileain New York was given in the office Of Hussa & Go, the custom house bro- kers. who facilitated the entry of the diamonds into this pert.

as America without qualification. There is no other country he says, which could be spoken of as Ameri- ca And this is true. There are Mexicans, Canadians, Brazilians, Chil- ians, etc. but these are Americans only in the geographical sense. In the pc litical and national sense only the peo- pie of the United States are Ameri- cans. The name is ours, and ours alone by right of prior use and example to the rest of the western world. But for us the names of the other American republics would have no national meaning at all--would be mere geo. graphical expressions. We made the western hemisphere politically differ ent from Europe. We made it dis tinct, in fact. For those who have followed us we have every respect, but at present there is only one American people-only one American nation-and we are that people!' And it is not likely that the matter will have to be submitted to The Hague tribunal for arbitration. The United States is America, to all intents and purposes.

It would be curious if i'll the matter of practice she showed that she could teach a lesson to the self-conceited white races in this direction also. But it would be regret table If the spirit of her old civilization were westernized to greater extent than is necessary for the purpose of national defense.

One is moved to inquire why it is that the bath tub plays such con- spicuous part in certain present day novels, says writer in the Reader Magazine. This is particularly the case where the heroine is of dubious morals. The more reprehensible the conduct of the lady-who usually, if sle be very objectionable, writes auto- Geographically more certain she is to insist that the reader shall know of her morning tubbing, not infrequently emphasizing the fact that the bath was perfumed. If this were an advertise ment for any particular sort of toilet water 1t would seem to have some req son for being, and would justify the amount Of space that is devoted to it. In the circumstances 1t appears merely to- indicate that the lady, having no godliness, wishes to make as dramatic as possible the fact of her cleanliness. But one may say, without undue harsh ness, that it is not'a trlfie disingenuous to put oneself so conspicuously in the ranks of the newly clean.

Goodness and Cleanliness Distinguish
 Them The "Bounder' Type.
 Froln now on comfort is the su- preme consideration in dress. We will go about i'll twopiece suits, soft shirts, fold collars, low-cut boots, belts, straw hats, ties and sim four in-hands. We will put aside our waist-coats, turn up our trousers and get into knee drawers and sleeveless undershirts-tha is, if we prize cool ness and cleanliness. In short, we will be comfortable, and that, too, without forfeiting one little of smartness. IT we follow the sports, we will dress suitably and sensibly, but we will not seek that false picturesqueness that savers of the circus, rather than of the prairie and the camp fire. Also, we will adapt our mode of dress to time, place and circumstances and we will not wear our knickers and tweeds in town, nor promenade country clubs frock-coated and top-hatted. We will attend dance or hop dressed as the other men dress, and we will not rem der ourselves conspicuous by obsti- nately clinging to hard and fast rules about the tail coat or the tailless coat. We will yield to usage without yielding up our convictions on these subjects. Few oddities will be worn this summer. Indeed, I do not re- member q season that has been so clearly dominated by soberness and moderation in dress. The suitipgs, as I have said, are the tried and true homespuns and serges that have done worthy service, and in none of the clothes accessories is there a single departure of moment. The gentleman will be distinguished by the quality and cut of his suit, not by it's pattern, and by his taste in picking what most becomes his stature. coloring and cast of features. The "bounder," on the other hand, will go to extremes, wear his jacket too loose and his trousers too wide, will have straw hat of prodigous breadth, topped with multi-colored band, will put on an OK blood or heliotrope shirt; belt of some queer grained leather, turn down collar with deep, piratical points, cravat too narrow or too wide, and wear absurdly long laces in his low cut boots. This type of badly dressed man is found among youths whose no- tions of the mode are gained from fur study of simpering fashion plates on display at the cheap tailors. I look for a season of comfort and sightliness in mems dress, and these are the twin attributes that clothes always possess. They must fitp and feel and look good. l-Haberdasher

LAYING A PIPE LINE.

Coming to the Delaware, Lackawan- na and Western the promoters of the independent pipe line to the sea de cided to test their position by laying pipe. It was promptly torn out. A farm over which the railroad passed was then purchased and preparations made to lay the pipe in a roadway un- der the tracks. As this road was some seventeen feet below the rails, any claim that there was possible dan- ger from the oil seemed feeble. Know ing that the point was watched, MT Emery tried strategy. Taking fifty men with him he went in the night to the culvert under which he meant to cross. laid his pipes four feet under ground, fastened them down with heavy timbers. piled rocks on them anchored them with chains, estab- lished a camp on each side of the track, and prepared for war They soon had 1t.

 By this time the whole countryside was aroused. The unfairness of the thing was so patent that even the railroad employees engaged in it did not hesitate to say in excuse of theil employers that 1t was the Standard OH company which was at the bottom of the opposition! As for the inhab itants, they offered any aid they could give. The local G. A. R. sent AS muskets to the scene of war. MI Emery bought eighteen Springfield rifles, the camp was harricaded, and for seven months the pipes were guarded while the courts were decid ing the legal title to the crossing.

The old question as to the exclusive right of the people of the United States to be called Americans 'has again arisen and is discussed with something of spirit and temper. That the name American is more commonly applied to resident of the United States than to a dweller on any other part of the western continent would
 seem to be beyond dispute. 1t has come to be an ordinary usage. Some of our neighbors have. taken this rath- CT i'll, but they have not succeeded in stopping the practice or changing the custom And now sundry and various of them are growing "hot' over the matter. However, that will do them little good and the people of the Unit ed States no harm. We will continue to be Americans. Alluding to some recent outgivings on this point the Chicago Inter-Ocean puts forth briefly
 and concisely the claims of the citi- zens of this country to be called Amer jeans. It says: eve of the United States are Americans. We are the people. But are not the Canadians and Mexicans also Americans? Are they not also the people? Europeans have long said Yes We of the United States have long said Mo- Now comes Archibald B.

What is known as the good roads movement has reached the stage where practically everybody approves of it, says a writer in Outing. The most diff f1cult work in this propaganda has been to convince those who would be benefited most by good roads, that 1t was to their advantage to have them That much accomplished, those direct ly concerned gave their approval, p1
 vided somebody else paid the bill. There is nothing apparently for whicl the average American farmer has been far more reluctant to pay than to bury a lot of stone in public highway and then dress it with more care than the ordinary person would dress himself, and all for thousands beside himself to drive over. Now the farmer has reached the stage where he not only approves of the scheme, but Is willing to pay his share, This means that the fight has been won. Good roads are coming and coming rapidly. While there seems to be unanimous approval or tue u1ONeuheill, lSW peTSOHS I6dAl1C exactly what good roads are, or grasp the full meaning of their benefits. A good road really means much tray eled highway in the country, covered with stone, bound solidly, and laid so deep that frosts will not affect it or storms cause it to break up. Another more concise definition, and one that will appeal to everyone, is that q good road should be one that has water tight roof on it and dry cellar under it. To build such a road in the north requires a stone foundation from eigh- teen inches to three feet deep. In the south, where there is little or no frost gravel. clay or sand may be used +',e chief object there being to get road that will shed water To build an ideal road not only requires skill, but an ap' plication of scientific methods.

THE ELKS GO TO BUFFALO NEXT.
Some of the Features of Il Most Spec
tacular Parade.
(By the Associated Press.)

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 20.-A pa
rade said to be ten miles long was
the feature of todays convention of
the fortieth Grand Lodge of Elks.
There were more than $1,000 uni
formed men in line and many floats
and other designs.
After a\hard struggle Fred G. Rob-
inson, of Dubuque, Iowa, was elected
grand secretary by majority of only
two for the meeting of the Grand
Lodge and the reunion next July.
Buffalo was an easy winner on the
first ballot.
OF the 934 lodges in the order, sixty
six competed for prizes in the parade,
each with it's band, unique uniforms
and various accomplishments.
August Hermann, exalted ruler of
the Cincinnati Lodge, and chairman
of the committee on arrangements, led
the parade driving a team of trained
e.ks.
The cotton pickers of Greenville,
Miss, all blackened and in negro
garb, were the comedians of the
march.
The Tampa delegation wore coats
made of Cuban tobacco with Sigar
makers knives for plumes in their
Panamas. Another of the Florida
delegations carried live alligators.
