THE BoaRnING-scHooL GIRD.

School catalogues generally sug- gest a typical wardrobe for pupils, but the thoughtful mother will find it necessary to add to this list many articles which will greatly add to her daughters comfort. A work-box containing needles. thread, darnlng cotton. scissors and thimble, hot water bag, some simple medicines for emergency use. toilet articles, a writing tablet. with stationery, pens and pencils, should all find place in the trunk. A few sofa pillows, some cherished books. and a picture or two may we'll be included. They will add to the attractiveness of the room, and will do much to prevent those desperate attacks of homesick- ness which come to every girl at boarding school. A laundry-bag and slipper case on which the owners name is embroidered, may be made by some thoughtful member of the house hold. They will serve useful pur- pose. besides being a pleasant re- hinder of home. The sheets, pillow cases. towels and napkins which are required by most schools should all be plainly marked with the owners full name in embroidered letters not with initials.-From The Out fit of the Boarding-School Girl" by Sarah Kennedy Winkler, in the Sep tember Circle.

OBSCENE CARDS.
U. s. Postal Authorities Made an Important Arrest al
 Philadelphia
OTHERARRESTSCOMING

E
 Philadelphia, Aug. Exchanged by United States Postal inspectors with the wholesale selling of obscene postal cards, Gustave P. Lang, of this city, who traded under the name of the P. c. Novelty company, was arrested to-day and held for trial. The arrest of Lang is regarded as the most important capture yet made in the crusade against the objectionable cards The case was brought to the attention of the authorities by resi- dent of Rome, N. Y, who received a sample series of postals.
 After he had been taken into cus- tody Lang's place of business was searched. The officials claim that in addition to hundreds of the obscene cards. abundant evidence in the way of orders shipped to individuals and firms throughout the country was dis covered. One firm in New York, 1t is claimed, ordered 22,000 cards, while there were other orders ranging from one hundred to eight thousand.
 The postal authorities say Lang is "a wholesaler and has agents in many cities. It is expected several arrests will be made within a few days.

DOWN co RATES
Steamship Ticket War is Being ADxiously Watched By Many
 Interested OueS.

New. York, Aug 27.-Shipping men are watching with interest the trans Atlantic steamship war which contln- ues to grow. Every day has it's de- velopments now, as one line after another cuts the rate. If the conflict keeps up much longer bargain hun ters will get chance to go to Euproe on shopping expeditions at cheap rates.
 The causes of the fight are many and varied. The steerage rate war, which brought the trouble to I head, is the direct result of the refusal of one of the continental lines to permit the Russian volunteeer fleet to enter the steamship conference and thus have access to the conference agent and the general business. The so-called conference was established by agree ment among the lines for the purpose of settling differences. distributing business and maintaining rates. It has now collapsed
 Other alleged causes for the fight are the entrance of the new Cunarder Lusitania into the competition, and the trouble which started months ago over a protest by the German lines against the White Star lines mini mum rates announced for steamers of the Arabic and Baltic class boats that draw the finest class of tourists, but for which the company demanded from the other lines a differential on account of the slower speed of these steamers.

GUARDING CULPRlT
Officers Watched All Night But the Lynchers Did Not
 Show Up.

Easton, Pa. Aug 27.-There was much excitement about the county jail at o'clock this morning, duo to a rumor from South Bethlehem that a party of iron workers had left that borough in an automobile to come to the county seat and take William Handy, a South Carolina negro, from the jail and lynch him. The negro had been arrested several hours earlier for the murder at South Bethlehem last night of Po- liceman Shuman. Warden Collins had the entire police forces stationed about the jail. After waiting until dawn for the arrival of the supposed lynchers. the officers were dismissed.
 The murder of Shuman was brutal The policeman had heard of negro insulting women in lonely section of South Bethlehem and went there to make an investigation. He found Handy and when he attempted to place him under arrest the negro opened fire. Two bullets entered the polieeman's body and he died block from the place where he was shot. Policeman MeCue found Handy in a board yard and seized him before he could get his revolver. which had been reloaded. into action. A crowd of angry meE surrounded the pris- oner and he was badly beaten. He was rushed to jail in an automobile.
 To-day Handy pretends to be ig- norant of the happenings of last night.

ROBERTS EXPLAINS
The Massachusetts, Congressman Tells About That Trip of
 the Battleship Fleet.

New York, Aug 27.-Congressman Ernest W. Roberts of Massachusetts, a member of the house committee on naval affairs, who is here with fell low members of the committee in- vestigating the needs of the Brook lyn navy yard, said that the trip of the battleship fleet through the straits of Magellan is for tactical req sons alone.
 We have all read with interest the discussion of the two routes" said Representative Roberts. Now here is not one of us who does not believe that the Suez route is both easier and cheaper. But the navy wishes no wto work out some tacti- cal problems while we are at peace, problems that might become strate- gical ones ill time of war.
 Tt is best that they should go by the hard route, if we wish to so designate it. Not only will the ships be tried out on the long runs, but the voyage will determine some of our needs :n the Pacific, particularly in the way of coaling stations on tfe mainland i have not the slightest doubt that s1,O00,00 will be used up in the Pacific route. It will be costly, but if the naval tacticiaus wish to determine certain things now is the time. ,
 Representative Foss of Illinois, chairman of the committee, made the announcement that the committee would probably ask for four more battleships at the next session of congress. He said:
 We may as well make up our minds now that it is necessary to maintain a large fleet in the Pacific. Our interests are too great on tat coast to do otherwise.
 N Tt is probable that the commit tee will ask for four battleships, to be of more than 10000 tons, and 25.000 tons if practicable. Of course what the temper of the 400 mem bers is, is yet conjecture, but we feel that at least two great ships will be built"
 The committee will leave New York on the Dolphin at o'clock this afternoon for New London. Then the members will go to Newport Portsmouth and Boston in turn.

STILL IN DOUBT
What Was Discussed at That Meeting Between Cambon
 and Von BueloW.

Paris, Aug. 27.-The French newspapers are discussing the recent interview between the French ambas- sador to Germany, Jules Cambon, and Prince von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, at Norderney. which IS now deemed to have been of the greatest import to Germany and France. Extensive speculations are made regarding the scope of the interview and it's probable effect on the relations between the two coun- tries The majority of the papers ex- press the opinion that there was something more specific behind the meeting than an exchange Of amicable sentiments, as alleged in the official note on the subject, and 1t is intim- ated that an understanding was reached between the two statesmen on the subject of Morocco.
 The Journal ayers that in spite of diplomatic notes the skeleton of AL geciras rattles in every joint under the irresistible pressure of circum- stances.
 The Matin and the Petit Parisien say they consider the interview to be a happy augury for general accord and the Echo De Paris asks what de- ! finite arrangement relating to Nor occo could have been made, adding: "Our relations with Germany could only permit of business pact
 The consensus of opinion appears to be that Germany probably has agreed not to oppose France being given a freer hand in Morocco should the situation warrant it.
 Dispatches received here | from Madrid to-day say that the Spanish cabinet has taken action on the sub ject of Morocco. but adds that the step taken is of such delicate character" as to render it impossible to publish its nature.
 Vice Admiral Philibert cables from Casablanca under yesterdays date that all the Moroccan ports remain calm. that there has been no further fighting at Casablanca and that the French scouting parties are not en- countering any resistance. The Flu ropeans who presumably left Fez on August 24 for El-Araish will on their arrival there be taken on board the French cruiser Du Chayla.

SALVATION ARMY COLONIES.
Detail of Gen Booths Scheme te
 Found Canadian Towns.

A great colonization scheme in Can- ada, drawn up by the heads of the Salvation Army, has just been approv- ed in principle by Gen Booth and government officials, says the London Chronicle, and it only awaits ,he sane ton of joint commission of the army and the Canadian government to be carried into effect.
 These are it's chief features:
 The government to sell to the Sal vatlon Army ten townships in the great clay belt. comprising some oS0,- 600 acres. CThe land is in the dis tricts of Npissing and Algonia, northwest Ontario.) The price is tG be 25 cents per acre, payment of the same to be spread over period oi ten years, without interest The army to locate IA settlers on every town" ship, each having the usual sized home- stead-180 acres. These settlers ta be under the supervision of Cana dians experienced in clearing land for agricultural purposes as well as of officials of the army trained m set clement work
 The commission referred to recently surveyed the land and is now on its way to the Salvation Army headquar- ters in London. The commission, so A prominent officer associated with the Salvation Army emigration department informed reporter. comprised rep resentatiyes of the Canadian govern ment and of the Salvation Army, with the Hon Senator Cox, who is iinaneing the undertaking.
 Nothing is settled" this official re- marked. nor can anything be done until the report is received. If the land and other matters such as cli- matic conditions are satisfactory tho scheme will in all probability proceed. If, on the other hand, ne report is of an unsatisfactory character. we shall have to cast about for more suitable land"
 The plans of the scheme were sub mitted to Gen Booth during his re-. cent tour in Canada.
 The ultimate idea. of course, is that the settlers may acquire the land they have cultivated. This is the essence of the principle upon which the Sal vation Army authorities proceed and carries out their main object of giving every man chance of doing some- thing for himself in the new land of his adoption.
 The Hon Senator Cox has advanced on loan to the army authorities q sun of about S50.0o0 for the prosecution of the scheme at reasonable rate of interest on the security of the land.
 Senator Cox's financial support is regarded as a sound business propo- sition. The army principals declare that the Canadian authorities are sat Isfied with their emigration work and are anxious to see the develop. ment of the land. If the present scheme is Successful it is believed that similar efforts will he made in other districts of the dominion.
