GROVER SICK OF HIS JOB.
Former President Is Anxious to Part

Former President Is Anxious to Part
With His Insurance Salary.
The New York World says; Friends
of Grover Cleveland said yesterday
that he is heartily sick of his $l2, 600
position as referee for the Equitable,
Mutual and New York Life insurance
companies.
1t is said Mr.. Cleveland told Paul
Morton, president of the Equitable, on
Monday that he would like to be re-
leased from the position. Mr.. Nor
ton, it is stated, begged him to remain
and give the place further trial.
The reasons why Mr.. Cleveland
wishes to give up the position are two
fold. In the first place he has been
dissatisfied with the publicity that was
given his acceptance of the Office, and
in the second place he felt keenly the
hostile criticism which the publicity
had aroused.

THE DESERT
INTO A GARDEN LAND
THE National Governments Stupendous Undertaking
Lofty Dams Which Will Be Among the
Engineering Wonders of the World

the state. Flowering orchards OF
oranges, lemons and olives are on all
sides. Altogether it would be hard to
find more fourishing community in
the country, and this metamorphosis
was brought about merely by the
scientific distribution of water. Not
satisfied with the wonders already
worked the government is construct
ing a colossal dam in narrow gorge
some sixty miles from Phoenix, at the
junction of the Salt river and Tonic
creek. This dam is 265 feet high, 78O
feet wide, 158 feet thick at the bottom
and l6 feet at the top.
Volumes could be filled describing
the wonderful results given wherever
irrigation is tried. There is the
famous or rather infamous Death Val
ley of California, in comparison to
which few years ago even the Sahara
desert seemed hospitable. In places
once as forbidding as that valley
there are now farms, orchards and
vineyards crowded closely on one an
other. The picturesque but barren
country around Cody, in the south
western part of the Big Horn trycoun
of Wyoming, is being made over into
fertile fields and productive gardens
by means of dams and canals along
the Stinking-water rivers. 1t is in
Wyoming by the way that the govern
ment will build the highest dam in the
world. In the eastern part of Montana,
the most sparsely settled part of the
west, the government is constructing
huge ditch, " which will run from
Glendiva almost to the Missouri river,
and which will furnish the yellow
water of the Yellowstone river to all
who are fortunate enoug to get 'home-
steads along its route"

Preparing to Make Big Shipment.
Mr.. B. F. Armstrong, professional
snake and wild animal collector, has
more than ton of rattlesnakes at his
camp situated near Brownsville, Tex.
He sells snakes by weight instead OF
by number. He is preparing to make
big shipment to northern and east
ern points. He also supplies large
quantities of rattlesnakes for snake
oil factory that is operation at Corpus
Christi, Texas.
Owing to the mildness of the climate
down there he can carry on his work
of capturing the snakes throughout
the whole year He has number OF
assistants who are experts in captur-
ing them. These assistants are Mexi-
cans, who are thoroughly familiar
with the habits and haunts of the rat
tiers, which are always taken alive.
Even those which are intended for the
oil factory are not killed until just
before they are to be put through the
boiling process.

Import Them for Farm Work.
Commissioner of Agriculture Keiner
of Virginia expects within the present
year to bring about thirty thousand
of the poor of London to that state
to work on the farms, taking the place
of lazy and undesirable negroes. He
has already communicated with the
Lord Mayor of London and the Brit
ish authorities, and expects fav-
orable answer to his plan. Commits
sioner Keiner will not cOnfne himself
to bringing English to Virginia farms,
but will also draw upon the poor of
Belgium and Germany to some extent.
He has prepared bill, which will be
submitted to the legislature, asking
for an appropriation of ten thousand
dollars with which to pay agents of
Virginia in foreign countries. The
Office of the commissioner will be a
bureau for negotiations between the
immigrants and the farmers desiring
help.

has not yet been made, but it has been
demonstrated that men and horses

weeks, making about twenty miles a

result.

The Matinee-Jacket Girl

The matinee girl and the matinee,
Jacket girl need not be at all alike;
one loves to spend sentimental hours
with a stage hero, one loves to lounge
in budoir privacy and comfort.
But in summer there are days when
we are all matinee-jacket inclined,
when even the most energetic is glad
to take to comfortable loose negligee
and comfortable pillowed couch;
wherefore it is well to present little
talk on present-day styles in negligee
costume
One may spend a small fortune on
tea jacket and tea-gown, and one may
attain very attractive ones for only
a small outlay. Imported handmade
lingerie affairs cost way up, are i'm
possible for the average purse; but
one may throw together oneself If at
all capable, some filmy stuff and feel
quite content with results. There are
figured swisses that that need but
little trimming and are inexpensive
and very appropriate for summer

chief linen-any number of materials.
Empire styles are liked, the short
wasted girdle made of insertion and
lace like that with which the garment
Is trimmed. The loose sack, loose
from short yoke down, is still in ia

on over the head. This had square
neck, the opening large enough to go
over the head easily and there was
avoided the usual problem of how to
keen a loose sack closed-as rule
always christening at the most awk-
ward moment
Challis Is an excellent material to
select for the lightweight tea-gown,
and the challis of the season are par
ticularly pretty for house gowns, cot
ton crepes are also effective, very good
for the long-trailing Empire modes
With such g gown one should take
pains to dress the hair in picturesque,
high fashion. and with careless
looseness in harmony with the negli-
gee costume One can be comfortable
and at the same time have regard for
appearances-and if this is adhered to
we shall find fewer criticisms.

Shirt waists of snowy white, sheer
waist of snowy white, all womankind
arrayed in summer stuffs. 1t is hard
to tell where the shirt waist stops
and lingerie waist begins, for they
are so closely related. One sees a
charming negligee shirt waist that
looks like a boating shirt, the sleeves
short with turn-back cuffs, the collar
a lay-down, easy bit of neckWear fin
ished with soft easy-looking tie.
This promises to be a feature of
waists of the summer of 1906, and one
can readily see it has considerable
to recommend it, perhaps the chief
thing the unmistakable air of COM
fort. The pretty sailor is a very apr
propriate accompaniment.
We must be either very short waist
ed to-day or else very long wasted and
svelte-Empire modes or elongated
bodice. The models shown in the il
lustration belong decidedly to the lat
ter class On the lingerie blouse of

Control of Colonies.

In Germany the minis :er of foreign

Because of the increasing Importance
of the colonies, German statesmen are

of the cabinet, to be known as the CO.

years ago, says Youths Companion,
and they have secretary of state for

not had foreign dependencies long
enough to evolve any plan for their
management. The Philippine islands

chief novelty, perhaps, the use OF

Farcical Meat Inspection.

Farcical Meat Inspection.
A constant menace to public life
