little Japanese musmee, lettering

and it is pleasing reflection that Nip
pom is slowly but surely spreading her
standard over the hermit realm.
Until Korean boys are married and
acquire the pseudo dignity of the top
knot, their hair is worn girl fashion
in twin plaits down their backs. So
much do they resemble girls that it is
sometimes difficult to determine the

There has been no yellow fever in

of yellow fever have come into Cuba,
from Mexico in the last three years,
but in no instance was the disease
communicated to others.

SUNDAY OPENING.
Is Declared to Be Beyond the Posi-
biIities at Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, Aug. 25.-Despite stories
of the possibility of Sunday opening
which have been printed broadcast OF
late, it has been declared by repre-
sentative of the exposition company
that such a discussion was not taken
seriously by the board of directors or
the executive committee. 1t is the de-
sire of the exposition officials to give
the public to understand that the sug-
gestion of open dates on Sunday is
absolutely futile. Secretary Walter b.
Stevens stated that circumstances had
made it impossible for the exposition
to be opened on Sunday, no matter
how loud the protests of prospective
patrons might be, and that the pro1ect
had never been discussed by the board
of directors.
THE members of the board of oil
rectors of the Worlds fair signed a
contract with the U. S. government
stipulating that the exposition was not
to be opened on Sunday" said Sec
rotary Stevens. ''They are bonded in
dividualIy in large amounts to carry
out this contract. The talk of loop
hole in the agreement is unfounded.
There is not even possibility that the
Worlds fair will be opened on sun
day. much less probability. Fur

San Francisco. Aug. 25.-At con-

Graney it was decided to fight Queens
berry rules with the added stipulation
that they must protect themselves in
the clinches and breakaways. OF the
recent battles for the heavyweight
championship that have been in San

has been conducted under those
stipulations. Instead of being COM

each clinch. the two giants will be

full of action, works hard and gets
the sympathy of the crowd. Beyond

RUMoRs OF CUT PRICES
Are Filling Iron Trade Circles Causing
Uncertainty.

Cleveland. Aug. 25.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says:
The uncertainty overhang1ng the
iron market has filled the week with
rumors of cut prices and of pool dis
solutions, but with all the cOmmotion
the status has remained practically
unchanged. The reductions of 81 a
ton in wire nails and as high as 81 a
ton in wire products have called spe-
cial attention to the competition in
that part of the market, and the in
dependent producer at Pittsburg has
not only met these reductions as tney
apply to jobbers. but has made them
applica BILE to mixed carload orders for
retailers, this amounting to further
cut of 81. An effort is now being
made to secure an adjustment OF wire
prices, but it's success seems problem

SPOT ON THE MOON.

First Seen.

Cambridge, Mass. Aug. Pa tele-
gram has been received here from
Prof w. H. Pickering, who is at the
Lowe observatory, California, tending
to confirm an observation of spot
on the moon. made by him last month.
He saw hay patch in the large lu-
mar crater, Plato, which had not been
detected before. 1t was again seen
on August , and. s. 1t had then grown
dark measured about two inches in
diameter and resembled a small crater
The object is said to coincide in posi-
ton with a previously recorded crater
ct, but is apparently larger. Renewed
scrutiny in the last few days reveals
the continued existence of the fea-
ture, which now measures three miles
across, Two other tiny craterets and
a dark spot on the floor of Plato, not
previously reported, also are an
nounced by Prof. Pickering.

were given this afternoon TO the three
senior societies at Yale-Skull and Bones,
Scroll and Keys, and Wolfshead, when the
usual tap-day exercises were carried out.
AS usual, the elections this year afforded
surprises and disappointments. as in former
elections. Among the well-known Yale men
who were not elected were Ralph II. Bloom
er. the football player, and d. l. Mioir, a
member of the varsity crew squad. Among
those elected were:
Skull and Bones-John H Lathrop. Kan

The announcement that the director Of
the Yale commons has been obliged to
put UP the price of meals to $3.50 a week
henceforth, and that at the old price of a
dollar or so less the college has lost SIC, 900
a year, will doubtless fill the hearts of
many patient housekeepers with unspoken
gratitude. For years the American house.
wife has been suffering from the balefuI
activity of the man of statistics, who
proves conclusively in the columns Of end
less periodicals that So a week will feed
anybody royalty, and that a delightful
dinner may be given for $2.50 including
flowers. A great peace comes to harassed
souls when a thoroughly equipped organi-
cation like Yale gives up the struggle and
frankly owns defeat by raising prices
A periodical ostensibly devoted TO the
interests of the American home once pub
lished statistics showing how a man and
wife and two children had lived comfort
ably on $500 a year. The misery caused
by those statistics, the whole broad
land, was beyond computation. These facts
from Yale, we hope, will cheer the sur
yiyOrS.
