WHAT ROOT THINKS OF THE GANG
"A Criminal Combination Masquerading
Under the Name of Republicans"

Elihu Root, one of the strong figures of
Republicanism, has been elevated to
position of the highest honor and oppor-
tunity in the Secretaryship of State. No
one who has watched his career can
doubt that he will shed lustre upon the
office and maintain well the honor of the
nation.
His Keen insight and his sturdy loyalty
to the principles of Republicanism have
not been shown to better purpose than in
his courageous denunciation of graft
among powerful persons in his party.
His recent letter TO Mayor Weaver, of
Philadelphia, startled the country by its
vivid language, and won for him the
highest praise as leader. His charac-
terization of the Gang as "a corrupt and
criminal combination lnasqueradiDg un-
der the name of Republicans" will always
be remembered.
The utterance is of such wide impor-
tance that it has been preserved in per-
manent form. The letter will appear as
a supplement to the Sunddy North Ameri-
can OF August Goth. 1t is printed on
handsome colored sheet suitable for franz
ing. decorated with Secretary Roots por-
trait and the arms of the United States
and Philadelphia. the whole making a
souvenir which every Pennsylvania
should keep.

are as fascinating in their way as the out
door sports. The flash of costly jewelry,
the frou-frou of elegant silks or of lace
over silk gives an unwonted brilliancy to
assemblages of the beou monde. Princess
dresses are now assumed by those possess
ing fine figures, and one of Renaissance
lace, with narrow white satin ribbon run
through the interstices of the lace of the
skirt, and in tiny bows on the waist and
sleeves, was so unique as to attract atten-
tion even here.
Low Coiffures
are now quite as fashionable as high ones,
and of course jeweled combs add to the
general effect. The old-fashioned band
bracelet has been revived, and safe to
say, jewelry Of all kinds is more worn
than has been the case for many seasons
past.

FASHION NOTES

! Fashionable life is now in full swing
and eaieties of all sorts keep the solourn-
ers at this beautiful summer capital busy.
Fashions worn by the elect at Newport
set the modes for general Autumn wear.
Not only are the designs seen now in any
Summer fabrics and cool linens, copied
in more substantial materials by the pur-
veyors of smart styles, but the cool days
that frequently come in August in this
| fortunate spot, and the cool evenings that
almost invariably bring out French crea-
tions in materials that will be the highest
fashion during the coming season. Hen
riettas are making their appearance in
long wraps for driving or evening wear,
and in dainty cape suits for early Fall
apparel.
Garb For Auto-Tours
Far wear on the Auto-car there is an
unusual variety of fabrics and colors,
but whatever style is chosen it is essen
tial that the material be dust-proof and
waterproof if the wear is to be satisfac-
tory and the smart, new look of the gar
ment is to be retained. Cravanettes OF
all kinds are the preferred choice for auto
costumes and as the cravanette is pro-
cess applied to all sorts of fabrics one can
indulge in. silk, mohair, broadcloth or
serge and be proof against dust or rain.
Bathing, Tennis and Golf
Tennis is the favorite sport at Newport
but the younger set frequently go down
to the "Pier" as Narragansett is termed,
for dip in the sea, and then also golf is
fashionable amusement. Newport is
more stately, but the Pier at the bathing
hour is joy to the beholder. Pretty
women in well cut costumes of materials
that neither cling nor stand out stiffiy
water-proofed silk in many cases. Men
well built and bronzed becomingly chill
dren, picturesque and happy, great tumb
ling waves, wide beach and blue sky COM
bine to make fascinating picture that
fingers in the memory.
Outdoor Life Trying
There is no doubt that all this outdoor
life, however delightful, is trying to the
complexion and the thickened skin and
wrinkles that result from the exposure to
hot summer suns, wind and dust are
woeful souvenirs of happy days. A little
care and attention to the proper treat
ment of the skin will prevent these ill ef-
fects, and make for both comfort and
beauty. On returning after such expos
ures, bathe the face in water as hot as can
be borne ; dry with soft towel, dabbing
not rubbing the skin, then apply Ponds
Extract freely, letting it dry in, renew
the application several times where the /
burn is deep and the skin irritated. Dust
on little good powder and not only will
you be at once made comfortable, but all
future evil results will be avoided. The
use OF a good face cream before going out
helps To prevent sunburn.

THE TRUE AMERICAN
MINNA IRVING.

In Georgia or in Maine,
Among New England snowy hills,
Or Dixje's sugar-cane
To be the noblest of his kind
Since first the world began,
The h'-I beloved of Freedoms sons,
A true Anlcrican.
The Norseman with his viking blood
And locks of yellow gold,
The German feeling in his breast
A knightly courage bold,
The lad of England's dewey lanes,
Or Scotland's ancient clan,
Each rallies to the Stars and Stripes,
A true American.
1t matters not the spot of earth
That claimed him at his birth,
The open hand, the loyal heart,
The soul of honest worth,
The love of right and liberty,
The life that all may scan,
These are the signs by which we know
A true American.

JAS. CHASE UNDER TREATMENT
FOR SERIOUS WOUND.

A colored man named James Chase call
ed at the Emergency Hospital at an early
hour this morning and asked for treatment
for a wound in his left side. There was
nothing about his appearance TO indicate
that he was in a serious condition. but
when the surgeons examined him they
found a dangerous stab wound just below
his ribs. The wounded man was placed
upon the operating table and some little
time required for operation to be
performed. Before being operated upon no
said he was stabbed without provoca ton by
a man named Giles. So far as he was able
to tell he stabbed merely because he
walked against the man on Both street
near the canal The GEORGETOWN police
were notified and Sergeant Schneider di-
rected the investigation.
Shortly after | O'Clock the sergeant and
Policemen Short. Kuster Lpscomb and
Davis went to 2sl9 NJ street and arrested
Giles Dorsey, colored. on suspicion of hav-
ing done the cutting.

police arrested him. He denied that he
had used a knife on anybody last night
and declared he had not engaged in a row
of any kind He admitted. however that
he had heard of the affair. and said he was
two squares away when ii happened. The
police are making a furth her Investigation of
the affair.
Chase Is thirty years old and lives at 52i

Board of Control to Meet With Him
November Is.

that the board of control of the munificent
gift of sl0,0o000 to provide for superan-

to meet. by Mr.. Carnegie at his New York
office Novemb Der 10.
Mr.. Carnegie has invited DIR. Thwing to
spend his vacation at Skibo Castle, Scot

avail himself of the invitation.
Mr.. Carnegie was rather uncertain at
first to the flag which he would use at
Skibo Castle said President Thwing IF
he selected the stars and stripes. he was
concerned for fear he would offend his
neighbors." But I'm an American. and
why rot?" said Mr.. Carnegie. Then in a
moment of meditation he considered what
would be the result If he placed the British
flag at the mast OF the castle; then he
might offend his loyal friends across the
water. AS compromise he had made
flag on one side of which were the stars
and stripes and on the other the union
tack.
