FOR SEAsHoRE VISITORS.
Some Advice that will be Found of
Value.

II is generally considered wise TO take
dresses out Of the trunk and hang them
in a closet when going away from home
Eut If Won are going to the seashore,
take the advice of one who has had eX-
parience and-don't do it!
The damp sea air takes all the stiffness
out of things, anyway. and If the gowns
are folded smoothly and laid in a drawer
or back in the trunk, they look almost as
though they had been ironed 10y the time
they are worn again.
DO not be alarmed if the stiffness comes
ont of organizes; it will return to 1t
again when once more in a dry air; but
at best muslins are unsatisfactory things
ut the shore. In spite of the best of
care they always get crumpled.
A crepe is the most serviceable gown
for afternoon wear at the shore. A wool
or SILK crepe never muses. or loses its
shape. and In light tints is dressy and
expensive looking for evening
whlte serge or pongee is also use
ful gown for the same reasons and in
cheaper materials the albatroSs and cot
ton wolfe are both attractive and service
able. while china silk is almost indis
penSible.
Sea air is also very hard on chiffon
wells, but If irOned carefully the innum-
cradle creaseS smooth out. and the appar-
emily ruiEed article is made as good as
new.
The most expensive artificial flowers
will fade. and it is well TO remember this
In choosing hat for summer wear.
Choose a darker shade or else get pure
white If you con not afford two or three
hats: but above all things avoid ostrich
feathers. Nothing looks more forlorn
than an ostrich feather out Of curl, and

AMONG THE SOLDIERS
Reports of Dysentery in the Russian
Army.

General Kurokis Headquarters in
the Field. via Flu San, July 26.-De-
layed i'm Transmisson).- Reports from
the Russian lines agree that much
fever and dysentery exists among the
soldiers. 1t is the opinion that much of
the sickness is caused from neglect of
sanitary precautions in the Chinese
towns occupied.
The first work of the Japanese on
entering towns which the Russians
have abandoned is to clean thoroughly
the streets and houses. Many of the
houses are found in 4 most filthy con-
dition and are infested with swarms or
flies.

Is Probable in Fall River
Cotton Mills
Unless Operatives Accept the
t21-2 Per Cent. Cut Down.
Manufacturers Said to Be Fixed in De-
termination to Have New Wage Scale
or to Keep the Mills Closed for Sew
eral Months.

Fall River, Mass, July 21.-"Unless
the operatives agree to come into the
mills and work under the proposed 1872
per cent. reduction, it is doubtful If any
attempt will be made by the manufac-
turers to run the mills before October.
This is the statement made, tonight, by
a prominent mill treasurer to repre-
sentative Of The Associated Press. The
gentleman quoted said that the whole
matter was a question Of finance and
the manufacturers have found that to
continue operations under the old wage
scale would mean a loss OF money.
They prefer, therefore, to have the mills
closed than to have them run at loss
That immediate settlement of the
strike Is considered improbable by the
mill treasurers was made evident TO-
day, when a majority of them left the
city for their summer homes.
The strikers. too. seem to be OF the
opinion that controversy will be long
drawn out and the greatest care is be-
ing taken to husband the funds. Strike
benefits will not be distributed until abb
solutely necessary and strike leaders
In many instances, are drawing only
a portion of their allotted salaries.
No attempt was made to open sin
gle mill affected by the strike, today
and 1t Is probable that none will be for
many weeks The strikers ranks re-
main unbroken and the slogan OF the
mill owners seems to be '12l2 per cent.
reduction or no work.
The strike, regardless Of the fact that
II involves 1900 men, women ana chill
dren, Is the quietest Of any in the his
tory OF Fall River, but it is probably
the most determined stand ever taken
by the textile workers for living
wages" as they term 1t.
At the headquarters of the Manufac-
turers' Association it was stated that
the report published in Boston that GER
tain mills would break the agreement
to reduce wages. has no foundation.

tile Workers has confirmed the story
that a prominent citizen had offered to
loan the Textile Union $4,000.
