A Wash Dress.
The girl who is going to the beach or the
nearest lake resort, or perhaps, to some
private picnic no further than the park
Will naturally want to wear a wash dress,
and here is her chance to make use of her
prettiest shirt waist suit or a two-piece suit
of linen with harmonious blouse She will
do well to choose white or the natural linen
color. as delicate shades like pink, blue and
lavender come out of the ordeal in a badly
faded and stained condition which even the
dry cleaner cannot repair
II you want to give your white linen or
serge suit an up-to-date look, finish II with
black velvet collar and cuffs and even but
tons covered with black velvet. Big brass
buttons are also used on white serge suits
with collars and cuffs OF colored duck
which are fastened on with pearl buttons
and buttonholes.
One of the new lingerie hats which would
be just the thing to wear on July is made
of crash, edged with embroidery, done on
the same fabric and trimmed with big black
velvet buckle in the front and white wings
on either side. Very pretty lingerie para

daintily embroidered by machine-can he
had now for S1.25 and they are charming
additions when the Fourth of July girl wears
a washable gown. They must never, how
ever be carried with a cloth or silk frock.

First the j journey.
The railroad Journey is first to be consid
cred Then there will be golf, tennis or
croquet at the club grounds, a. drive in the
afternoon and a dinner and dance at night.
She does not wish to carry more than a
lightweight dress suit case, and they are
starting by an early morning train. She
knows to begin with, that no weli-dressed
American woman travels in anything which
does not suggest the tailored suit with It's
jacket The shirt waist suit cannot be sub
stituted so she selects from her wardrobe
black and white check suit with skirt
which clears the ground by several inches,
and a white linen blouse The skirt is made
with suspender finish and the jacket is a
cross between the bolero. and a cape, so
that it will not be too hot for the early
morning ride.
With this she wears a dull-fuish black
Oxford tie, because she cannot play tennis
or indulge in any other outdoor sport IN
patent leather footwear. Her hat IS either
a white sailor, with black band, or
white Neapo1ltan polo cap with trimmings
of black velvet ribbon and a straw pompar
dour of black. She will wear black silk
gloves on the train and carry IN her bag
pair of white silk ones. which sac dons be-
fore reaching the home of her hostess In
her same travelling skirt of black and white
checks she plays any of the outdoor games
and also enjoys the afternoon drive
For the dinner and dance she takes a sum-
mer evening frock cut low at the neck and
with three-Quarter or shorter sleeves If
the dance is formal she will wear gloves
which meet the sleeves. but at the informal
summer dance gloves dispensed with
Dancing slippers or pumps must be worn
with this frock, and for going to and from
the club house she must have some filmy
wrap or scarf, and not depend upon her
hostess to provide these little things. All OF
this outfit can easily be packed into dress
suit case.

NEW YORK, June % 1905.
a little girls summer wardrobe is con-

Personal CHAINS and a Jury.

From the Washington Post.
The necessity for extreme care in the
selection OF a jury was demonstrated in
the case Of Miss Carolyn Wells. the au-
thor. which was disposed Of in the New
York Supreme Court to her disadvantage.
The cause Of action happened in 1902. in
attic npting to board a street car Miss
Wells was. thrown upon her back in the
street. She testified that the shock TO
her nervous system was so great that in
a year her income fell from 5000 to 5000.
The action was for damages TO the
amount Of 5000.
Miss Wells appeared in Court attired in
a black velvet dress, fur boa, large hat,
I'm which waved n long black ostrich
plume and in which nestled some pink
and blue flowers. The jury deliberated
for only ten minutes and found for the
street railway company.
1t is well-established fact that the av-
erage jury is born with desire 10 mulct
railway corporation. This could not
have been an average jury, else its verdict
would have been in favor Of the plaintiff.
That is the conclusion that presents itself
at first blush but il is possible that the
jury was nctuated by other considera-
tions. 1t is a serious circumstance. but
easily susceptible OF proof, that. with few
exceptions. women Of literary ability of
a hign order lack physical attractiveness
or that indescribable something which en-
ables those OF the sex who are not so well
endowed with brilliant mental attainment
to evoke instant sympathy from males OF
high or low degree. OF course. jury
should not be impressed by wearing ap-
parel or personal charms unless they are
injected into a case as evidence, yet II
may be that the combination Of long black
ostrich plumes and pink and blue flowers
had a disastrous effect upon some juror
who was strong enough to sway the rest
OF the panel. It may be, however. that
the jury was OF that low mental strata tc
which II seemed impossible that physical
injury could influence the mind in a way
to cause loss OF earning power to tho
extent Of 5000 a year. There are such
juries, and II may have been that counsel
for Miss Wells showed a distressing lack
OF acumen in his selection OF the twelve
men to whom he intrusted his clients in
terests.

AesuRoLY IDEAL.

TOsEFH FOLK will be regarded as
j an idealist. an academician and a
rainbow chaser II he keeps on telling
the members OF the Missouri Leglsla-
ture things like the following;
DO not forget that you will be aiding
the party you may belong to most by
giving the public the highest service.
You cannot help your party by lniuring

a public servant-a servant OF all the
people.
Does not Mr.. Folk know that these
ideas are as antiquated as the science
OF alchemy and as extinct as the dodo?
He seems to think that members Of the
Legislature are not to serve their party
primarily; not to look out for the in

Peace or War.


From the indianapolis News.
There Is a rumor at st. Petersburg
that Japan, having again got Port
Arthur into her hands. will now make
an offer to negotiate for peace, and
that she will try to induce President
Roosevelt TO act for her. The idea
does not meet with favor in the Rus
sian capital while Russian diplo-
matte agent in London. and Ambas-
that Russian will fight to the bitter
end, and w endeavor to retake Port
Arthur In the spring. In our opinion
the outlook for peace is not good at the
present time. 1t has been said all
along that Russia would not consent
to negotiate till she had regained some
part OF her lost prestige. II this is
her state OF mind she will hardly con-
sent to treat after such a dreadful
blow to her prestige as the loss Of
Port Arthur. The fact that the place
was bravely defended Will hardly con-
sole the Russian Government for its
loss. For II 4 was-as II was
bravely defended. it was bravely at
tackled, too.
Yet It is clear enough that Japan's
position is now stronger than II has
been at any time since the war be-
gan. Already IL is estimated that the
Baltic fleet may be recalled Prob
ably It viii have to be recalled-or at
least held where IL Is. on the sea.
therefore, the Japanese are supreme.
Further. It is thought that General
Nogi will be able TO send $4,000 men
to reinforce Marshal Oyama. who will
thus be strong enough 10 move against
lKuropatkn. Japan can probably get
the men to the front as rapidly as BUS
STA can. II is also thought that the
| Chinese will be greatly impressed by
Japans victory which may mean a
great deal. We do not think that
there viii be any recapture Of Port
Arthur. Japan has at last got pos
session OF that place as against Rus
STA. And It may be that she will not
care to wage an offensive campaign
against Kuropatkin. but viii be con-
tent to entrench, and let him take the
offensive. At any rate Japan can now
choose where and when she will
fight And this is a great ADVANTAGE.
Yet there may be a chance for
peace after ALL and Il may come sud-
denly. The war Is very unpopular In
Russia, and II there were any legal
way OF making public sentiment ef-
fective II would be influential on the
side OF peace. As II is. there may
be such disturbances at home as will
convince the Government that peace
must be sought II is known also
that Japan viii offer very reasonable,
and even liberal terms. One thing.
however is clear enough and that Is
that our Government can ACCOMPLISH
nothing by offering to mediate. or to
present the japanese proposals with
out an .ntimation that Russia is will
ing to negotiate. There is nothing to
indicate THAI. Rather everything that
comes from official quarters shows
that Russia is, for the present de-

DIAMOND STATE STEEL.

A n EARNEST an intelligent effort
1 \ is being made to reorganize the
Diamond State Steel Company, and the
committee in charge should receive ev-
cry encouragement. There are three
parties at interest: the creditors, the
stockholders ana the holders OF bonds
The committee is representative OF
the three classes Of interests. and for
that reason the presumption is that
an equitable basis OF readjustment OF
the affairs Of the company is sought.
Now 1t is very plain that to wind up
THE affairs OF the concern will prejudice
the interests Of the three classes, while
some equitable arrangement under
which reorganization could take place,
new capital interested and the services
OF practical iron and steel men en-
gagged, would put the concern on a
basis where It would be able to pay
handsomely-for It would have every
thing in It's favor.
We understand that there Is a dispo-
sltion on the part OF all persons fnan-
cially interested TO act reasonably. and
the desire OF a number Of practicaliiron
and steel men to become interested. TO
invest their money and give their
thought to the reorganized concern,
should go far in convincing anybody OF
tho futurn rrognaotq
But aside from these, the people OF
this city are vitality concerned. For
several decades the Diamond state
Company has spent a vast sum in
wages and our merchants have ben
edtted. We think all win cooperate
in the plants rehabiliment.

MO MATTER who may be respon-

which has continued so long, and which
seems likely to continue. is a disgrace
TO the state. In our judgment 1t has

OF three or four Union Republican
leaders TO regard their personal ends
as paramount. In their view their
whim is synonymous with the party

DANCED lN DELAY.

~ ISCUssION Of the plans Of the
II water Commission is likely to be
ais devoid Of result as consideration OF
the situation at Dover. Every new
move has added to the complications
until things appear to be IN hopeless
snar,
But we do not agree WITH tne Morn
ing News in Its intimation that there
is no necessity for any action, pre-
sumably because 1t holds that the I'M
filtered water OF the Brandywine is
wholesome and satisfactory.
We have only to refer to the tests
made by the bactcrlologist to refute
this. And the physicians OF this city
win testify to numerous cases OF sick
ness and disorders which they believe
they can trace to water contamination.
The water varies ia its degree Of pur-
ity. andsit Is likely to become greatly
polluted az any time.
We are not inclined to think just be-
cause the affairs OF the Water Com
mission are in a snarl that we are
justified in folding our hands and
trusting to Providence to pun us
through. No; the same necessity for
action which we have recognized FOR
some years remains. and we are GER
tain that a way can be found to con-
sruct water plant through which
the city can be supplied with uncon-
taminated water.
Now let us suppose that this city
should suffer from an epidemic OF
typhoid such as has visited other
cities ON occasion. Suppose this should
be traced to the water OF the Brandy
wine. What would the people say.
Would not the policy of delay and OBJ.
lection be bitterly condemned.
We are impressed that we SHOULD
make no comfortable compromise b,

to do nothing" for something needs 1,

ment.
