On All Right.

Some young women in England
have begun to dress out and out ike
men. They wear a long coat cut like
a hunting coat, a cap riding-breeches
and top boots. It is a. handsome cos
tune and it is not immodest, but un-
doubtedly it attracts a good deal of
attention. They have been telling in
London lately, story about a. girl
who adopted this riding rig. Pulling
up her horse she said TO an artisan
who was passing: ''can you tell me
IL this is the way to Wareham?" The
man looked her over carefully. Then
he touched his cap in a respectful
manner and replied; Eyes, miss. yes
You seem TO ave got 'em on all
right. "-Argonaut.

MAINE MYSTERY
REVIVED AGAIN
Was it an Accident or Was il
a Conspiracy?
Accident To Warship Georgia Recall.
the. Beginning Of Our War
With Spain.
NEW VIEW is TAKING HOLD

Washington. d. c., July 49, The
shocking explosion on the battleship
Georgia has recalled the never end
ing topic Of discussion which is a
familiar one to this day with naval
experts. 1t concerns the blowing up
Of the battleship Maine in the harbor
of Havana in the spring of 1898.
Every time there Is an explosion
of any magnitude on an American
warship naval experts invariably
bark back to the Maine and discuss
that disaster in the light Of recent
experience. No man knows how the
Maine was blown up. Probably no
man ever will know.
It is just this mystery which has
cast suspicion on the theory that the
ship was destroyed by Spaniards and
which is causing more than one ma
men, to believe that after all the
explosion of the Maine was the result
of an accident, so that the incident
which did so much to bring on the
Spanish war may have been the re-
suit after all of natural forces and
not of malice.
There is long list of disasters
on American battleships. In almost
no case has trere been shown gross
carelessness. Electric wiring has been
found deficient, powder has been ex-
ploded apparently spontaneously,
boilers have 'let go". and there have
been a dozen different well defined
causes which produced CHASTITY ex-
plosions. The accidents have come so
steadily a. to give rise to generally
expressed opinion that a big battle
ship or cruiser stored with explo-
sives and built for fighting rather
than for mere storage is nothing
more nor less than a powder maya
zine which may be touched off at
any moment by the slightest acci-
dent or the breaking of a single link
in the chain Of precautionary. de-
vices.
Probably the strongest argument
in favor of an accidental explosion
on the Maine is the fact that no time
since then has there been the slight
est clew to the man or men who are
supposed to have discharged the SUBJ
marine mine. If the destruction of
the battleship were a thing which
could be Accomplished by one or two
men in a few minutes failure to dis
cover their identity after so many
years would not be so peculiar It
lis a fact, however that the Maine
as it hoated in the harbor of Ha-
vana could not possibly have been
destroyed by any one except as the
result Of a plot carefully arranged
and requiring for its execution the
service of a number of skilled men.
If the ship was blown up by sub
marine mine and a conspiracy of a
dozen men existed it. is a marvel OF
marvels that to this day, more than
nine years after the catastrophe, nc
one man has peached on the others,
and not a hint has been heard as to
the identity of the conspirators. This
is more remarkable because war in
tervened almost Immediately after
the Maine was blown up.

face. To add zest to the AFFAIR. Mrs.
Parker offered prizes to the boy or
girl who whooped the longest and
loudest and a BOBBY prize for the
one who only .wheezed.
There were many complaints when
the prizes were awarded ana some
of the unsuccessful ones claimed
that the winners had an advantage
over them, as they had had the dis
ease longer.
Medicine a Feature of Lunch.
Lunch was served to the music OF
barking. With the lunch Mrs. Parker
served a mild mixture Of the medi-
cine which every kid on Duquesne
Heights has to take about every five
minutes to keep from whooping his
head of. 1t was only by the liberal
use of the mixture that some of the
youngsters could eat at all.
Many of the little ones were ac-
companied by their mammas, who
have contracted whooping cough
from them, and the affair was such
a big success that several of the
mothers who attended are arranging
TO give return entertainments.
