JOURNALISTIC NOTES.

The Morning Star is one of the fore most Roman Catholic papers of the country. It is published weekly in New Orleans. The managers have had the good fortune recently to secure Mir. James R. Randall. as editor. He is well known throughout the Union for his great literary ability and for his editorial capacity. While his Mary land, My Maryland" and Arlington"
 has given him deathless fame. he has other claims upon public confidence
 which have long since been proven well
 founded. He is devout member of
 the church of whose principal paper in
 the South, he is the editor. and those
 of that faith can rely upon his furnish
 ing them a paper of great value.
 MT. Percy Clark. who is we'll known
 to the people of Alabama, announces
 that beginning next month he will pub
 fish a weekly paper to be called The Anglo Saxon. In his circular he says: On the ever present race question. The Anglo-S Saxon will be fair, but fear less: seeking to find solution in the
 d of ,Sst racial Rsas he n ns thrifty negro finds his surroundings in the South uncorfgenial by reason of so- cial or political ambition on his part, that he be encouraged to seek the be- nisn soil of the Indes for amalsama- : tion, or the frozen North for warm hos. pitaiity and social recognition. In all things The Anglo-Saxon will aim to be just, to be fair, and fear not.
 There has been something like a mix ing up ir the newspaper feld at De- than Mir w. T. Hall. who has for some time been one of the owners of The Siftinss, is new in charge of The Eagle. while W. F. Usscry. who man. aged The Eagle, is one of The Siftings household. These changes will not de- tract from the merit of the two papers. as they will continue to be interesting and newsy.

: SPRING STYLES IN AUTOS
AND EXPERIENCES OF THE CHAUFFEURs 4

when we displayed these designs perhaps
we would sell one in a thousand. Now
we sell one in every twenty.
The reason for 1t Is partly that Paris
has set the fashion. Every other auto on
the street there Is closed one. But the
greatest reason find Is in the class Of peo-
pie who are now ordering autos.
This class Is the conservative people
who have chung on Just as long as possible

pairs of greys. But little by little they have
had to give up their prejudices
"On Riverside Drive, in the Park, where
ever they go, not only are their beautiful
thoroughbreds passed on the way and left
far behind, but the constant whizzing by
Of the auto cars makes the horses extremely
nervous and hard TO control.
Last night was asked to go to the house
Of one Of this class. When arrived there
I found an old gentleman and his wife
who had been through a hard struggle
before they could make up their minds TO
give up the brougham and pair.
Having determined on the change they
went into the matter thoroughly; none Of
the new school carelessness about them!
spent three hours explaining everything
that could possibly occur to them to ask,
but they ended in giving me an order for
as close a copy Of their brougham as I
could turn out.
But they did It absolutely under protest.
They wanted to 60 on through the remainder
Of their life as they had begun In the stately

woman. The attitude Of the average
woman buyer Is a difficult one to meet.
She knows nothing about machinery; she
will ask questions, Of course, because she
does not wish TO appear ignorant and many
women have gained a superficial knowledge
which they air, but it Is merely superficial.
The color Of the upholstery and Of the
body is the only essential in their eyes.

Last years craze for living out Of doors
threatens this spring and summer to get a
great many thousands Of New Workers from
under roofs. Architects are called upon
10 design houses with open air dining rooms,
and even with open loggias for sleeping.
Many home workers are planning TO
carry on their business in the open air OF
upon porches. Tents are moro than ever in
demand and are already showing them
selves wherever a New Yorker has enough
space 10 pitch a tent.
Invalids OF many kinds are already living
under canvas. and suburban boys are
driving their parents wild with all sorts
Of queer schemes for outdoor sleeping.
One lad in a wild bit OF The Bronx, west
Of Jerome avenue and below Van Cortland
Park has a hut in the branches Of big tree.
The queer structure, the work Of the lad's
own hands. is big enough to sleep In. He

II Is an easy and simple matter TO make
a platform tent practically insect proof
A few yards Of mosquito netting at the en-
frances front and back will do this. The
netting can be arranged with long light
stick Of wood at the bottom 20 keep II
down.
Itis not so easy 10 keep mosquitoes out OF
a tent pitched directly upon the ground
but a mosquito canopy can be made 70
protect the bed.
Nothing is more delightful than an airy
platform tent pitched In a shady spot and
properly furnished for comfort and even
in this region there is probably no more
wholesome sleeping place. The frame OF
the tent affords room for hooks upon which
needed articles Of one kind OF another
can be hung, and In the corners dry and
convenient little shelves can be put Of.
Just as a means Of extending a small
suburban house the tent s an economy
for no other summer room could be built
for three times the money.

William H Shelton, the artist, and Librarian
Of the Salma gundi Club, returned recently
from a Wait to Japan. While there he was
very much impressed by the Japanese
police. He came away with the idea tina,
the Japanese police department was much
superior to other police departments, print
cipally owing to the apparent elimination
Of graft.
As a New Yorker said Mr., Shelton, i
am naturally interested in the police prob
lem and It's solution. II struck me that
Japan knows very little about graft as We
understand the word Certainly, they
have kept Il out Of their police department.
while was at Nagasaki Capt. Barker
the American qIaTtermaster there, lost
a very fine uncut diamond. He hadn't
any idea where he had lost 1t. He sent
word TO the police and a regular policeman
came around and made inquiries about the
stone.

Of the country the policeman announced
that IL would give the police great pleasure

can instincts Capt. Barker called him back,
reached down into his pocket and pulled
out a couple Of yen, which he offered him.
THE policeman seemed TO be both sur
prised and offended. IL was against all
the rules OF the police, he said, TO accept
such gratuities from any one.
i found later just how serious II would
have been II be had taken Il. IL seems
that the policemen In japan are recruited
from the middle class and punishment for
any one caught grating means much more
than dismissal from the service or impris-
onment. II means loss of caste.
