spondent or "take pity" on the news
paper man and give linn material for
q good dispatch on state affairs. The
wording of the message was rather un-
fortunate, as it seemed to bring in
question the integrity and reliability
OF each member Of the cabinet, and
also reflected upon newspaper corre-
spondents as being beggars for news
papers instead Of demanding it as a
right and in the interest of the public.
He also restricted the cabinet officers
in, this message to giving departmental
news to the press associations, there
by practically ruling special corre-
spondents out of business.
It is known that this letter was die
tated because the press associations
had complained that while they OBJ
served the presidential injunction re-
garding the publication of cabinet
news, the special correspondents would
see cabinet officers and have more and
fuller dispatches on the same subject.
So primarily the letter was intended
to protect the press associations. 1t is
safe to say that had George B. Cortel-
you been secretary to the president in
stead of William Loeb. Jr., this letter
would have never reached the cabinet
In its present shape. Mr.. Cortelyou is
tactful and observing individual, and
he would have seen in a moment the
offensive parts of this communication
and would have toned them down into
diplomatic language. Mr.. Loeb is a
stenographer by profession and felt
compelled to transcribe accurately the
exact language the president used in
dictation.
The province Of the secretary to the
president includes the exercise Of
diplomacy and tact in order to protect
the chief executive from his own mis-
takes. This is q duty that requires
discernment, and there have not been
many men who have performed this
work perfectly. The late John Hay
was a model private secretary when
he acted in that capacity for Abraham
Lincoln. The late Daniel Lamont, who
acted In the same capacity for Mr.
Cleveland, was one Of the most tact.
full men in that position, and Mr.. Cor.
telyou made great reputation while
serving President Mckinley and Pres.
ident Roosevelt.

CRATER Immediately wired his ten ex-
perienced canvassers. By the time
they arrived he had the city laid out
id sections, and each mans territory
mapped out.
These canvassers were able to take
from 40 to so contracts each a day.
The man who couldn't average 40 a
day would not be kept, and It was
always sure thing that the gang
would average SO each.
The day upon which the canvassers
began, the CRATER called up the laundry
with whom he had made the contract
and announced that his men had start

and laid down on mis- desk over 500

$3.50 cash to be paid on them.

Cleveland during the latter's first ad-
ministration. He was a Cleveland
democrat, but came over to the vepub-
licans in 1896. Charles DENLY went
with his father to Peking and re-
NAMED at that legation in one capac-
ity or another fer 20 years. He was
Just 20 years OF age when he went to
China, and early acquired knowledge
of the Chinese language, which he can
speak as fuently as his mother tongue.
Mr.. DENLY was through the horrors
of the siege of Tentsin during the
Boxer troubles, and the other day
talked very entertainingly of his expe-
rience. From the 18th Of June to the
18th of July, 1900" said Mr.. DENLY,
there was scarcely an hour or min
ute that l did not expect almost In
stant death would be the fate Of my
own family, myself and the friends
who with us were besieged In the Gel
lar of q private residence. Looking
back at it now, our escape from slaugh-
ter during that horrible time seems q
miracle. That Boxer uprising was no
trivial affair, can tell you, and fad
the Chinese been q militant people
they would have wiped out the impris-
oned foreigners as easily as ever q
band Of Indians scalped an immigrant
party on the plains. Maybe the sight
of those gallant Yankee marines who
came to our rescue did not thrill our
very souls! Only those who have suf-
fered the horrors of an impending
doom, from which escape seemed i'm
possible, can appreciate our feelings"
Mr.. DENLY is friend of Secretary
Root, and in his new position in the
state department will be able to rem
der the secretary valuable assistance.
Mr.. Root is gradually surrounding
himself with men whom he knows, the
first assistant secretary, Mr.. Bacon,
being an intimate friend, and Mr.
DENLY being another.

Charles DENLY, of Indiana, son of the
former minister to China, for the
place.
Col Michael will be taken care Of
in the consular service, but his re-
moval from the state department is
none the less regrettable. He has been
assigned to the consul generalship at
Calcutta, India, where the salary Is
about double that which he had been
receiving as chief clerk of the state
department. This increase in COM
pensati~,. however. offers very little
induce mt to man of Col. Michael's
age to go to such an unhealthful cli-
mate as prevails in Calcutta. 1t is
very likely that before the time comes
fer him to go to this post. a transfer
will have been arranged to q place in
some more congenial latitude.
Col. Michael Is veteran of the civil
war, having served first in the army
for a year, and then three years as
an officer in the navy. He was recon-
mended for promotion for gallantry by
Rear Admiral Porter, and he was
chosen by the people Of Iowa to repre-
sent the navy in statue on the sol
diers' and sailors monument in Des
MOines. He is man of literary at
tainments and served as a Washing
ton newspaper correspondent for a
number of years. He is the author OF
several books and has compiled many
important public documents. He was
appointed chief clerk of the state de-
partment early in President McKin-
ley's first administration, and has ham
died very important matters during his
| incumbency.

A GREAT STEAMSHIP.

Marine Monster-New Giant Steam
 ship of the Hamburg
 Line.
 With the advent of each new steam CT into the great fleet of Atlantic liners, 1t seems that the limit of size and lux uriousness has been reached, but the new monster twin-screw steamship "Amerika" of the Hamburg-American Line will be equipped with several new features, designed specially to add to the comforts already found on the mod ern passenger steamer.
 The grill room introduced by the Hamburg-American Line on the flyer Deutschland" and on the steamers ''Moltke" and ''Blucher" has earned a well-deserved popularity. The experi- enced traveller, in booking his passage, now asks, ''Is there a grill room on bcard?"
 On the "Amerika" the grill-room idea has grown into a large, modern la carte restaurant, enabling passengers to dine when they please, to arrange AuiISllCpLl oAAd Psb1tlEE AOL 4IleIluS whom they may chance to meet on board, and also to have a change from the meals served in the regular dining room.
 The la carte restaurant will be un- der the same management as the fa- nous Ritz Hotel in Paris and Carlton Hotel in London.
 Dimensions and Capacity-The great size and enormous carrying capacity of this new giant steamship of the Ham burg American Line can be best under stood by 8 glance at the following sta- tistics: Length, over all, 700 feet breadth, "A feet; depth, 53 feet; dis placement, about 35,00O tons; cargo ca- pacity, 15,000 tons. The passenger ca- pacity of this ship will be about 3,289, comprising 600 in first-olass, 300 in sec one-class, 250 in third-class and 2,1S9 in the steerage.
 A most welcome feature will be the three great promenade decks of enor- nous length and width, one of which will be reserved exclusively for prome- nading, while the others will be used for the placing of deck chairs.
 The speed of the ."Amerika" will be moderate-17 knots an hour. This speed will enable her to reach Ply mouth and Cherbourg in about seven and a half days and Hamburg in nine days
 The gigantic size of this steamer, her enormous carrying capacity, and her bllge keels will make her steady and

 Ferestville, July 2o-Recognition day exercises were held to-day at the camp ground, of the Connecticut Chautauqua assembly in the presence of fully 1000 visitors, including friends of the grad uaites, alumni and others interested in tie Chautauqua movement. The cot tages and other buildings on the grounds were prettily decorated with flags, bunting, green branches and flow CTS in honor of the day, and the wealth CT was ideal. . .. .... ~-. ~e.- Early in the afternoon, the various classes which are holding reunions, met for the annual business meetings, and a short time later the recognition day parade was formed. Headed by band, the procession was made up of the of- ffcers of the assembly, the alumni, the classes of 1906, 1907 and 1908, with the graduating class at the rear of the line After marching about various buildings within the camp ground, the procession reached the Golden Gate" where the head of the line halted and allowed. the graduates to pass through the first, while young girls dressed in white strewed the pathway with flowers
 The regular graduating ceremony was held in the auditorium. Arthur Deering Call of Hartford delivered the address. Diplomas were awarded to the follow ing: H. c. Cook of Forestville, James H. Merriam, Mrs Catherine Merriam, Miss Jennie Stevenson, Clara G. Larkin Of New Haven, Mrs. A. H. Downes of Bethany, Antoinette c. fanfare of West Haven, Wright A. Richards, Mrs. Min nie E.

comfortable in the toughest seas, Vi- brations will be reduced to a minimum by the installation of perfectly ball. anced engines of the most modern type.
 Her great size only one of the New Features of This Fine Vessel--The much-decried upper berth will find no place in most of the first cabin state, rooms of the "Amerika. The comforts of lower berth is thus insured to q majority of the passengers.
 Spaciousness will be an important feature of the staterooms. Some of them will have the usual dimensions of ten feet by seventeen feet. Suites of large connecting rooms with private bath and toilet, and combinations of one room and bath and toilet will be found in ample numbers. The ladies saloons, the smoking room and other customary features found on all liners have not been neglected.
 In addition to a large and well equipped gymnasium-which was first introduced by the Hamburg American Line on their steamers "Moltke" and Butcher" and "Prinzessin Victoria LuISC anu lIOW JASO lV DC 4ISlaAlSA uiA the great flyer "Deutschland"-th new steamer will be equipped with Turkish and Electric baths, which will be in charge of experienced attendants. An other innovation which will be of great importance to the comfort of passen- gers is the passenger elevator amid ships, running from the main to the boat deck, l. C., through all the five decks on which there are passenger &C., commodations.
 Latest Safety Devices-Safety at sea will be provided by the newest and best safety devices produced by mod ern science. A wireless telegrap equipment will be installed as matter of course. Next in importance is a system of communicating through the water between ships at sea and. the shore. The Submarine Signal Compa- ny of Boston has perfected such a system, by the use of which. the 'Amer- ika" can ascertain by bell Signals the location of light-ships and lighthouses, no matter what the weather conditions may be.
 For closing water-tight doors the Stone-Lloyd system will be installed. It is only necessary to push a button to close the water-tight doors in every compartment. This system works Jby hydraulic pressure and requires but a few seconds to make every .compart- ment water-tight and the ship practi- cally unsuitable.

PLANS FOR FRIDAYS DINNER.

In giving directions for making a chowder I have said, Buy haddock, cod if possible, if not take the had dock.'' Now the haddock is often given the buyer who is not well posted, even when cod is asked for. To tell the ! difference remember that cod has a white line down the sides, while on the haddock this line Is black. Fish should be fresh and to tell whether it is in good condition or not take notice of the eyes. If they are sunken the fish is not fit to buy. Select a fish with pro jecting eyes, stiff fins and the fish that when pressed will rebound, The oil of white fish is in the liver, and this causes the flesh to be more delicate for digestion than, for instance, the blue fish which has the oil distributed through the flesh. The cod is better than the haddock to bake, because it has better flavor and the flakes are
 larger. Most cooks bake the fish with the head on. Scrape the fish after it is brought into the house, because this preparation is not always thoroughly done at the market. Scrape with a sharp knife from the tail towards the head. Wipe the fish with wet cloth, but on no account let it lie in water, for this soaks out the flavor
 Fill the fish with .stuffing and sew it up, leaving one long end to the thread. When the fish is taken from the oven
 1t is an easy matter to pull all the threads out at once and leave no trace
 of the sewing. Cut four good gashes
 on each side of the fish and make them nearly an inch deep and about two inches apart. Set the fish upright on
 the pan as 1t would swim; by means of
 long skewers and stout. thread, if need
 cd, draw the fish into the shape of a let
 ter s, and put strips of salt pork into
 the gashes. Dredge with flour, salt and T white pepper and bake. If the fish
 weighs four pounds it should take less
 than an hour to bake. It is better to
 have fish sheet and set the fish on !, that in the upright position then it can be taken off easily without breaking. ?, Baste often with fat that cooks out from the pork. Put the fish on a plat !. ter, garnish with parsley and lemon.
 Serve with new potatoes.-Alice F. ] Whitaker.

PURE AIR IN PUBLIC CONvEYAN-
 CFS

GEES.
 Considering the progress which sani- tary science has made in recent years, it is remarkable that so little, compar- atively speaking, has been done toward providing better facilities for ventila- tion in public places. That pure air is essential to health and powerfully eff fective agency in checking the spread of disease has been universally recog- nized. Systematic efforts have been made with more or less success to conn pei the adequate ventilation of tene- ments and factories. Meantime, little has been done toward providing similar protection for the travelling public.
 It is to this phase of the question that Surgeon-General Wyman of the Marine Hospital service has called att tention in report dealing with the evils of ill-ventiIated railway coaches and street cars. Acting upon his re- commentators, various boards of health throughout the country are said to be taking up the subject with view to securing adequate ventilation in all kinds of public conveeyances. The az itation should be continued until it leads to radical improvement fin this respect. The ordinary railway coach or sleeping car is ill-ventilated, but con- ditions in the average street car in win- ter time, and particularly in the rush hours, are worse.
 The injury that these conditions have done to the public health can scarcely be over-estimated. State and munich pal boards of health cannot lay too much stress upon the subject if they would see increasing progress toward a lower death rate.-Chicago News. as+ ~H-ssy
