MARITIME WORLDS fasa
Robert Fulton Anniversary VIII Be
Memorable Occasion.

Robert Fulton Anniversary VIII Be a
Memorable Occasion.
Plans are being made in New York
to celebrate two years hence the CEN
tensry OF the use OF steam in naviga-
ton by the holding Of what would
seem to be a sort OF maritime worlds
fair. says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
On Aug. 7, 1907, Robert Fulton's Cler-
mont made her epoch-makinG voyage
on the Hudson which revolutionized
sea commerce and sea warfare. The
Clermont was not the nrst steamboat,
for attention is now being called to an
interesting coincidence which should
give the proposed celebration a double
significance. In 1907 It will be lust
200 years since the Frenchman, Papin.
drove a crude steamboat on the river
Fulda. But though the Clermont was
not the FIRST steamship, she marked at
all events the beginning OF steam nav
igation. and It will not detract from
her inventors fame to recall that the
centennial celebration IN his honor will
be also bicentenary In marine annals.
New York is. OF course, the place OF
all others for the observance OF the
anniversary, for not only was the
Clermonts momentous voyage made in
Its waters, but the city Is the foremost
port in the new world. and has, more
over. in Its grand bay and two great
rivers. a natural setting unsurpassed
anywhere on earth for maritime
spectacle such as is contemplated.
The affair should with the most per
feet propriety be Of an industrial
rather than a military character and
celebrate the victories of peace rather
than those OF war, for the revolution
In naval warfare followed necessarily
from Clermont's performances. II IL
proposed, however. to ask Admirs.
Togo to attend. nor would this be With
out its special fitness. for Togo Ia tn
greatest naval warrior In the day Of
steam, as Nelson was In the day OF
sails. The presence OF the victor IL
the only great naval battle since stssn
was applied to ships would be mors
than an interesting feature Of what
should be made a really remarkable
and truly international occasion.

American Women but slowly Ac-
curing Grsees of Unselnshness.
Are American women's manners de-
teriora1ngi is the question asked by
a writer.
ut is to be feared" says the writ
er, that the new independence Of wom-
an may in some cases tend to produce
aggressive manners. There Is so much
human nature in us all that the pos
session OF new power tends to initiate
our vanity and to make us selfish. The
newly arrived immigrant is so delight
ed with his rights that he forgets to
respect those OF other people. After a
time he learns better; the true meaning
NJ citizenship In a republic becomes
clear to him. Our American woman
is rapidly learning her lesson, too. She
Is saying we more and more, Il less
and less. When she has learned to In
clude men as well az women under
the we she will stand at the head OF
the class. Her progress has perhaps
been retarded by the deluge Of praise
unwisely lavished upon her.
As women take part more aud moro
In charitable and public works, they
realize what men have accomplished
They see the difficulties In the path
OF the reformer and become more hunk
BILE. The careless or aggressive man
ners OF certain women represent only
a halfway stage In the development
Of the modern Eve. When she reaches
a higher plane these should pass away.
The Ideal OF American life implies
the responsibility OF each and all for
the public welfare. The principle is
sver at war with the selnshness which
Is at the root Of all rude behavior.
She who is truly interested in promot-
Ing the happiness and well-being OF her
countrymen will have the politeness Of
the heart She will remember that
good manners are made up OF petty
sacrifices "=Harper's Bazaar.

The village Washer.

Under the glggling goo-soo tree
The village masher stands,
most attentive man Is he,
With white and supple hands,
The muscles In his skinny arms
Are soft as sllken strands.
dis hair Is curled and oiled and Iona.
His face Is free from tan;
His brow was never known to sweat,
He ogles all he can,
And looks all women In the face,
This gutta-percha man.
Week in. week out, from morn till nixhi
He makes himself a show,
BE always stands around in pride
Where all the women 20,
And loves to make those goo goo syes
And saunter to and fro.
The children coming home from schsd
Go scan the masher Ger,
They love to see his dlnky clothes,
At him they loudly roar;
Of course their merriment Is apt
To make the masher sore.
He goes on Sunday to the church
And rubbers at the girls;
He never hears the parson preach
For looking at the curls,
And II a maiden smiles at him
His brainlet simply whirls.
At old or young, at short or tall
BE makes those goo-goo eyes;
To ogle is his height Of bliss,
His form of paradise
Hes badly stuck upon himself
And knows that be y xice.
Under the giggling goo-goo tree
The village masher, slick,
Makes eyes at every female form
That passes-what trick
If some good manly man would take
And hit him with a brick.

men forced an entrance into the Rus

The robbery was committed with
amazing boldness, in broad daylight

took the keys of the safe and then
drove them into an adjoining room,

the door, and which would be explod.

The Convention So Far Marked by Fierce Per sOnal Encounters.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-If today's develop ments are any indication of what is to come, there will undoubtedly be some lively times in the convention hall Of the International Brotherhood Of Team sters before final adjournment. The fourth annual convention of this organ lzation began here today in a bewilder- ment of electiOneering for president. and so bitter did the feeling grow be- tween different factions that 1t was necessary to call the police to main tain order. The contending factions are headed by President C. P. Shea who is seeking reelection. and Bert Young. formerly president of the or ganizatiOn
 Two personal encounters took place on the stairway leading to the conveu- ton hall at 145 Randolph street Thomas Martin, one of the leaders of the New York delegation which Is op- posed to Shea, became involved in an argument with one of Shea's followers. Blows followed, and when the police arrived, in answer to a hurry-up call Martin was lying unconscious on the floor, while one of Shea's adherents sat astride his chest. beating him in the face with both fists. Several arrests were made. but those arrested were released later on bonds.
 Soon after this fight John Buckley of Boston, an admirer Of Shea. became too eloquent in his advocacy of Shea to suit some of Young's friends. and another fight resulted. The police were on the alert, however. and before much damage was done the belligerents were separated.
 About the only business transacted today was the seating of eight New York delegates. There are still forty six of these delegates unseated. and If President Shea has his way not more than three of them will be allowed to deliberate in the convention Shea bases his objection to the New York representatives on the ground that the local unions of that city have not been paying their per capita tax, and there fore are not eligible 10 seats in the con vention- This will be the first Ques- ton under consideration tomorrow, and lively debate is looked for.
