GREATEST
NAVAL BATTLE
IN HISTORY

On May goth Admiral Togo wired
Admiral Yamoto, Minister of the
Japanese navy, as follows;
The main force of the Russian Sc
cond and third fleets is nearly ami
hilated. Please feel assured of it"
This laconic dispatch chronicled
the greatest naval victory of modern
times.
The Russian Armada, under Ro-
jestvensky and Nebogatoff entered
the narrow straits of Corea on Sat
urday, May 27th. The entire Japanese
naval force awaited them, disposed on
either side OF the straitIt was com

SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES

The commencement exercises OF
the public schools will take place on
June 9th, and will, as usual, be marked
by an appropriate and interesting
program.
The school year just closing has
been one Of the most notable in the
educational annals OF Washington
county, and patrons and friends OF
the school system have ample just
hcation for feeling of pride and sat
isfaction
The attendance is constantly in
creasing, the course OF study being
made more complete, and newer and
better facilities, both in the way Of
accommodation and equipment have
been added.
The corps of teachers include many
of more than local. or even State re-
putation, and educational advantages
are offered by the system which can
hardly be surpassed save in the great
centres. The history OF the Green
vile schools has been one of steady
and rapid advance, sometimes in the
face of difficulties known only to its
leaders
1t has kept an even pace with the
Improvement and growth Of Green
vile, and the development OF the one
may be taken as gauge Of the de-
velopment of the other,

under Rojestvensky and Nebogatoft,
two small cruisers remain to tell the
tale. These escaped to Vladivostok,

nese Losses were three small torpedo

The most astounding fact in con-
nection with the battle is conveyed
in the following message from Ad-
miral Togo:
Damage to our ships is insignitl-
cant"

ing defeat than that suffered by the
Russians would be impossible.

cannot be included in the becoming
styles of the season.
More and more is it evident that the
blouse waist-that is, the waist that
blouses-is going. out of style and the
close fitting waists are coming in again.
In CLOTH yelling, silk or any material
intended for spring or summer wear,
| the waists made with the folds Of the
material draped tight around the fig
, ure, quite doing away with the low
| busted effect, are to be seen on all
sorts Of gowns, and a short bolero may
be worn with such a waist with good
| effect, because the waist then has the
appearance under the bolero of being
| wide girdle. The wide girdle effect
now has a long point more often than
the straight, round appearance that
was prophesied for it. There are so
few figures on which the round waist
looks we'll that for the majority of
women the return to favor of the long
point Is a positive boon.
Princess gowns will be worn again
this spring and with them will be
worn the short bolero jacket. A jacket
| Is needed otherwise the Jacket effect
is given in the trimming. There are
gowns made where the skirt comes
up on the waist in princess effect, or as
though girdle and waist were all in
one, and then there are bretelles over
the shoulder, while the body of the
waist is of lace or lingerie, and in
the street short Jacket is part Of the
costume. This is not an absolutely
new model, but it has been fashiona-
BILE through the winter and is seen
again among the new models. 1t is
one of those fashions that when un-
becoming make the prettiest woman
in the world look like fright, so
that it had better be chosen carefully
Much more often becoming is the
jacket to be worn over a waist of the
same color, or the blouse of lingerie
for that these separate waists of
lingerie and lace are as popular as
ever there is no gainsaying-and the

w styles in sleeves and, in truth,
sleeves play an all important
part in the fashions of the moment,
and make or r,cr any gown. 1t is pos
sible with a new pair of sleeves to
make last years gown quite up to
date, so that 1t will even pass muster
as one of this years designs, while, on
the other hand, an old fashioned sleeve
will mark a gown as being old and
shabby.
There is an epidemic of elbow sleeves
so virulent that perhaps the fad, will
not prove a lasting one. While the ell
bow sleeve is in itself pretty model
and most attractive for demi-toilette,
1t is not appropriate for all occasions
and in all materials. In truth. al
though the original style called for the
arm being uncovered to the elbow. al
ready many notifications are seen,
and the deep cuff of lace and lingerie
is greatly in favor, while the long
mousquetaire glove is absolutely es-
sential for theater or street wear.
There are a number of models in the
new sleeves that are large and full.
kept out by interlining of crinoline or
by hooks of featherbone, but which, |
fortunately, are not of such exaggera-
ted size as were the sleeves two or
three years ago, when the large sleeves
were in fashion. The styles now have
been so modified, SO carefully studied
that there is nothing exaggerated about
them, and they are almost without ex-
ception attractive.
The sleeves of the lace waists are
most graceful, two or three ruffies of

EXPLOSIVE SEA SHELLS

Nature has made many kinds OF
bombs in the shape of seed pods which
open with great force and project the
contents to a considerable distance
There is a seashell which explodes with
formidable noise and suggests
veritable dynamite bomb.
Not long ago young lady wandering
on the shore of Mobile bay picked up
a handful of shells left by the tide.
Among them were the shells of small
marine snail the largest OF which
were not more than half inch in dia-
meter. She dropped them into her
pocket and forgot all about them till
some days afterward she noticed an
unpleasant odor which came from her
wardrobe. On taking the shells from
her pocket one of them dropped on the
floor and exploded with a sharp noise
loud enough to be heard in an adjoin-
ing room. She tried another with the
same result. The shells were then cx-
amined by scientist. who found the
mouth of each firmly closed by mem-
brane of greater or less thickness,
formed by the drying of the animals
slime. This had probably occurred
soon after removal from the moisture
OF the beach, and the inhabitants OF
the shell dying. the gases OF decomposi-
tion had entirely filed theair space.
on exerting little pressure a loud
explosion was produced, the shell frag-
ments flying In all directions. Out OF
dozen shells only two failed to ex-
plode. The conditions most successful
in making the experiment seemed to be
removal from the beach In hot. dry
weather. which caused the slime TO be
exuded IN greater quantities than usual
and dried 1t up rapidly.

Silk yelling and all thin materials
make up especially well in the more
elaborate styles Of sleeves that are so
fashionable this spring, but while cloth
also is supposed to follow in the same
lines the cloth sleeves look far better
when more severe effects are chosen,
If too heavy cloth be shlrrel gathered
or puffed In too elaborate a fashion 1t
both looks and is clumsy. There may
be clusters OF tucks or pleats. there
may be lines of fiat braid or lace. but
ruffies or gathers should be left for the
thinner and lighter fabrics
The sleeves OF yelling gowns are

cred net. with small wreaths or gar
lands Of artificial flowers and shirred
taffeta circles; they are very novel and
effective-quite diffrent from the one
or two puffs that were seen earlier in
the winter on the gowns intended either
for dinner or theater wear
Shirrings are seen on many OF the
new models, and some OF them seem
at first glance to be made over designs
shirred to make them elbow length
instead of long, as they were primarily.
The shirrings are on the inside OF
the sleeves, and therefore the fullness

wondrously intricate, and the amount
of hand work used is astonishing, while
the appliqued Insertion of lace is every
bit as fine in detail as though intend
ed for batiste or lingerie gown. Again
the elbow length fashion must needs
be referred to, for in all gowns Of this
description 1t is considered the smart
est Of all. Combining Irish lace with
the French laces is another of the
latest fashions in sleeve trimmings,
fiat bands OF the former being used
on the upper part, while at the elbow
the double ruffie of any French lace is
considered the only correct finish.

can all be on the outside Of the arm'
and can be SO arranged as to be pushed
up toward the shoulder and the always
becoming leg of mutton sleeve effect
can be obtained.
Slashing the sleeve or finishing 1t in
points. each point caught together un-
der buckle and tiny bow or rosette,
is an attractive model that is shown
among the new fashions. This design
is finished either with ruffies OF lace
or a wide. stiff, turned back cuff Of
silk. satin or velvet, or with twisted
band OF velvet ribbon above double
ruffie Of lace.

and the gowns intended for afternoons
or more elaborate occasions are made
on other different lines. In the light
cloths and veilings are TO be seen many
of the smartest gowns made with short
skirts that have ever been turned out,

around. These bands, made of velvet,
bias silk or satin either plain or
shirred, or of fancy embroidery, are
effective, but they cut the lines of the
figure. AS they are fashionable they
have to be included in the list of
fashionable clothes, but they certainly

able it is much easier to secure the
long lines that make woman look
thinner, or, if the opposite effect is de-
sired, to obtain also by means of the
trimming a more square appearance.
There is one style of trimming that

consists of the bands that go around

VETERAN FlREnEN MEET
Connecticut Valley League Member,
 Celebrating To-Day. .

Pittsfield, Mass, Aug. 2.-BeautifuI weather greeted the members of the Connecticut valley league of Veteran Bremen when they arose this morn. ing to participate in the third annual meeting in this city.
 The cold threatening weather of the last few days had entirely disappear. ed and the sun grew warm and bright soon after the opening event of the days program was carried out. Since late yesterday afternoon thous- ands of veterans flocked into the city. The regular and special trains brought here people from various parts Of Connecticut, western Massachusetts and eastern New York
 The muster was opened at 5 a. m. when the day was ushered in by salute of 21 guns by the George Y. Learned battery. At 6 o'clock three long blasts were blown on the fire whistle. An hour later the Pittsfield firemen assembled at headquarters and under the direction of Vice-Presi- dent J. Fred Kahl and Ex-Foreman Matthew Stockbrldge, proceeded to escort duty.
 At II o'clock will come the parade. followed two hours later by hose races and hand engine playouts.

BOILER WAS OLD
And Weak Spots Gave Way, Causing
 Bennington Disaster.

San Francisco, Aug "A special dis patch to the Call from San Diego, Cal, says:
 From an official source the reliabili- ty of which cannot be questioned, be- cause of it's connection with the court itself, 1t has just become known what in substance will be the report of the court of inquiry now Investigating the Bennington disaster, It may be stated authoritatively that the court will find that boiler B of the Bennington ex- ploded not because of unusually high pressure, but because the metal of the crown sheet and the bolts holding that crown sheet in place had become 'dead," had lost all life and nearly all tensile strength by reason of constant use and the failure to renew the weak ened place during the twenty years that the Bennington was in service. The court will not censure the officers of the Bennington, but will pass up the matter and the responsibility to higher authorities.

STRIKE FEARED.
Fifty Thousand Men May Quit American Bridge
 Company To-Day.

New York, Aug. 2.-In all proba- bility there will be, says the World to-day, a national strike against the American bridge company. Should the strike be called more than 10000 men will be involved. The workers attribute the trouble to the alleged employment of non-union men by tie Boston bridge company. Frank Buch- anan, president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, arrived in the city yes terday and will make bis headquarters here during the controversy.
 Tt is very possible" he said, "that strike will take place. l can do nothing for day or two except to wait for developments. Should the strike be ordered 1t will have the as- sistance of the International union and other labor organizations"
 A statement was made in behalf of the American bridge company which says: "We have not been officially in- formed about the trouble in New Ha- ven, but we have the right to sublet our work and have no right to impose conditions on the sub-contractors, further that guarantee that they must do the work properly. We have an agreement with the unions and employ only union men when we do the work directly, but In sub-lettlng work we can only choose the lowest bidder, sif it is responsible firm.

Strikers Tear Up
 Paving Blocks.
Loneshoremen Want Pay Raised to 25 Cents an Hour - One Killed and Many Injured.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug 2.-As an outcome of the lOngshOremen's strike for an increase of wages to 20 cents an hour which has been in progress for month, the greater portion of San Juan was under the control of a mob between ' and 9 o'clock last night. The mob, in which there were about a thousand armed persons, dug up pay ing blocks and stones and with these and other missiles rushed through the streets fighting the police who were armed with rifles and fired scores of shots, but mostly in the air.
 One person was killed and there are forty Injured in the hospitals, three or four of whom may die.
 At, 8 o'clock, while the main police force was engaged with the rioters, an other mob, mainly composed of young men and boys, threw stones at the arc lights in the main streets, with the result that nearly the entire city was in total darkness all night.
 At 9 o'clock the mob sought refuge in disreputable district in which there were no police This district, however, was surrounded by the po- lice and mounted squads patrolled the city for the remainder of the night.
 At midnight the police, numbering only 100, had the situation under con- trol. Endorsements are expected to- day.
 The rioting was preceded by inter- mittent disturbances, which, however, were no serious.

Evidently Repented After Starting
 Blaze in Tenement House.
 New York, Aug 2.-Sudden repent anee on the part of an incendiary who wanted to burn the four-story store and tenement building at Nos 95i-956 First avenue. early yesterday morn- ing, probably saved the lives of the twenty-five persons living on the three upper floors of the house.
 After sprinkling kerosene on the floors of the railways and starting two fires the unknown firebug put out the flames and left the mousse.
 Fred Schnaue, proprietor of saloon on the ground floor. thinks that the fire was intended to iniure him. De tectives Slevin and Crotty of the East 51st street station questioned Schnaue as to his enemies, but could learn lit- tie from him. They say the saloon keeper knows more than he will tell about the affair.
 Mrs Bade. janitress of the house for twenty-six years. says that during that time no one has been ejectel from the house and that the landlord. Clifford Hurry. has always been appre- ciated by the tenants. The detectives found in the hall a small lapel button of blue enamel with gilt lettering "Hermes Athletic Club" The detec- tives think the man who owned the button set the fire.

COLLISION AT SEA.
Captain of the Minneapolis Relates
 His Experience.

New York Aug 2-Two collisions at sea, one of which snapped pro- pellor blade, were reported by the steamship Minneapolis, which arrived to-day from London.
 The first mishap occurred in a peril ous pocket, made around the Mime apolis by another liner, tramp ship and fishing smack on Saturday, July 9. in the English channel. Her com mander. Captain Thomas F. Gates. said that his steamer was wedged so tightly in the trap that his only choice was which of the other ships to run down. He chose the fishing smack as the least dangerous and struck this boat glancing blow which carried away parts of her rigging. but did no other serious damage. Two days later Captain Gates believes the Min neapolis ran over fragment of sub- merged wreck. Early Monday morn ing, while the passengers were aslec:: the steamer shivered as from shock against her hull, and one blade of the propeller snapped of. Passengers were awakened and ran on deck 'l alarm as the steamer came to stop. After short delay the Minneapolis proceeded on her way.
