The navy department cannot we'll hold the Jamestown fair responsible for an affront offered to sailors in uniform outside the gates. The gov ernor of Virginia and the citizens of Norfolk and vicinity can look after the matter.-New York World.
 Having stood legislative buffeting for ten years the1 senate Is doubtless of the opinion that two years more of the experience will not be detri- mental to the resolution incorporat- ing the East Haven and Morris Cove Railroad Co.-New London Day.
 The biggest wheat crop of the age is predicted for the Canadian north- west. Notwithstanding that nothing divides that country but a tariff line there is hope for the speculative class in this country to do business for some time. In times like this an border line in order to keep bread stuffs normal would be one way of solving the question of short crop. -Middletown Press.
 There has been recent talk of | large immigration of Hindoos to Canada, and it has been assumed that they must of necessity be inn mune to the climate and to the work to be done. There seems to be fair chance that those described as Him doos are largely from northern India, where they are hardy men who live in relatively cool country and are fit for any work in almost any climate.-Hartford Times.
 One of the favorable legislative re- ports, yesterday, was that appropri- ating S10,O00 for the anti-tubercu- losis society of New Haven county. There is no question but that this sum is needed by this society and that it will be put to good use. It is carrying on a most commendable and successful campaign, and so long as it labors on without a substantial endowment fund it will require both l individual and public support. The ! sanitafium method of treatment has come to stay. It is no longer an ex- pertinent. Its efficacy has been | nstrated.-Ansonia Sentinel. A curious situation is indicated in the incorporation of 1,00S barrels of [ apples from Liverpool to this coun- try, which apples were grown in Australia, picked in March and shipped to England. The apples are the best that Australia produces and are sold in this country at S5.50 a
 barrel. This is a commercial experi- ment that may be repeated if suc- cessful. Of course this supply of Australian apples fills in a time here when our market is not so abundant

Eouiards Always In Favor.

Of course the foulards have always been more or less fashionable in the polka dot design and-this year they are coming hack into favor with re- newed popularity. The polka dot pongees and royals are equally fash ionable and there are also many new fabrics on the order of veilings shown in the polka dot design. Cotton and linen goods on this order will be ex. tremely fashionable both in the heavy qualities suitable for morning suits and in the thin batistes and lawns for afternoon and evening wear. There are also shown new belts of linen with red. blue. brown. pink polka dots and polka dotted parasols. stockings petticoats. handkerchiefs and rib bons. Very pretty are the petticoats made of plain material with polka dol borders.

There is just one condition under which President Roosevelt would go back on his promise and accept aROih- CT nomination for the presidency. This would be a forgein war or the jun. minence of a conflict with a foreign country. He would then consider nin- self worse than unpatriotic if he did not accept a nomination that might be rendered him. The foregoing comes from an intimate friend of the pTesi- dent who is believed to have taIke'l with him freely as to circumstanecs that might arise to eause the president to yield to public eIamoT for another term. It is only to a few men that the president would say even this much The possibility of a foreign war is re- mote. unIess the friction between Ann ericans and Japanese on the Pacific coast should continue and bring about i'll feeling between the two countries.

Al. /. WILSON
This Country's Sweetest
Singer in "Metz in
the Alps"
AT THE GRAND THURSDAY

That ambassador of German dialect
comedy goden-voiced singer, Al. II.
Metz Wilson, who will appear at the
Grand Opera House on Thursday
night, September 5, in Sidney r..
Ellis original play entitled, Metz In
the Alps is now conceded among the
best class of theatre goers to be the
most agreeable and captivating actor
before the public today, and as a
singer he is unique In his line. Prob
ably one can best form an idea OF Mr..
Wilson's qualifications from reading
the following remarks from the pen
of Mr. Lewis Dodge, dramatic editor
Of the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Theatre patrons who look for con-
ventional rubrics and hall marks be-
fore accepting an engagement with
out question are being deprived Of the
most genuine pleasure by permitting
themselves to remain unacquainted
with AL. Fl. Wilson, who is the most
gifted of our singing comedians, and
the exacting theatre-goers agree that
they have discovered" the most win
ming dialect singer since Fritz" En-
met sang his way into the hearts Of
thousands, to leave desolate places
when he had gone. Mr.. Wilson came
to ST. Louis yesterday in his new play,
Metz In the Alps" II was so fine
and tender an offering that one
would like to get out a requlsition
against Mr. Ellis, his manager, to
compel him to show cause why his
gifted star should not remain for
longer period before an audience who
pay higher prices for their entertain
ment, and who, too often, asking for
bread are given stone. Metz in the
Alps" is by far the best vehicle Mr..
Wilson has ever had. II is a play TO
begin with. and II contains so nice a
blending Of humor and pathos and
sentiment that IL touches the heart
very closely. But, above all, II gives
Mr.. Wilson ample opportunity TO
sing-and unaffected music lovers will
readily agree that he has the most
musical voice before the
public today. Quiet folk, with no
other ambition than that Of being
able to entertain their friends in
homely sentimental wise, would
accept Mr. Wilson's vocal |
equipment and let that OF Caruso go, |
II the choice were offered to them.
There is LONELINESS and tenderness
and an appeal to ones affections and |
ears In his music-such music as is |
to few favored souls |
who know that the music schools are
At best trying only to manufacture
that which nature once in n while per-
mits a few mortals to possess in
stinctively. BY all means hear Mr..
Wilson sing. II you care for native
beauty and spontaneity in song"
