OF
WHITE HOSIERY

White hosiery for men and women Is
now in the zenith Of popularity. In mi
lady's goods, quotations for worthwhile
grades range from half a dollar for sheer
gauze Isle to $40 per pair for bright silk
hosiery.
These latter show and-embroIdered
geometrical designs on the instep, besides
bas-relief treatments all over the stock
ings. Lace ankles, delicate steeple clock
lngs and raised lozenge effects are included
among the prominent features of better
quality hosiery.
White stockings admit of greater elas-
ITCHY than some other kinds. In half
hose prices on white novelties run from a
quarter of a doller for lightweight plain
cottons to $40 per pair for pure silk.
White linen mesh, ~three-quarter hose for
men are having the biggest boom in the
history Of the trade. Large polka dots In
contrasting tones. from the ground color
of sock, divide attention with small black
pin dots.

FAIRGROUNDS AND
SUMMER SCHOOLS OPEN.

Thousands of enthusiastic youngsters
were on hand this morning to attend
the first day of summer school, and 1t
was with ill-concealed eagerness that
they awaited the arrival of the teach
ers. The total registration last week
was 1904. nearly 1900 more than last
year. Many of those enrolled are pupils
who did not quite come up to the pass
ing mark during the regular school
term, and Who expect to take up dur
they we're weak, so that when fall
comes they will have a good start.
AS usual, the schools on the Hill
were crowded, and the teachers are
looking forward to a busy summer. In
the Morton Street School alone tho
registration reached 700. The lowest
registration reached 70, in the South
Street School.
This morning was occupied with
preparations for the work, and the
regular curriculum will be taken UP
tomorrow. AS usual, special attention
will be paid to the sewing, manual
training, cooking and kitchen garden
ing. Kindergarten classes will be
formed at one.
The school Fairgrounds opened this
afternoon with a large attendance.
Randall ID. Warden, director OF physl-
cal training, is in charge. All of the
apparatus is not in place, but will be
ready for use in a short time. Over
forty tons of sane has been distributed
among the various centres, and pals
and shovels have been provided for the
use of the smaller tots.

NEW YORK'S A%MERlcAMISM.
Yet Diversity of Blood Has Always Been
Its Dominant Characteristic.

There are those among us who arelnot
satisfied with this setting UP of barriers
against the unfit, and who see a menace
to American standards in the admission
even of the physically At, If they come
from allen stock, writes Brander Mat
thews in the Century. There are those
and they are not a few-who would keep
out the men from the Volga and the
Tartar steppes" and all bringing with
them unknown gods and rites" Willing
enough still to welcome Teuton and even
Celt, they see peril to our citizenship in
granting it to Slav and to Scythian, with
tiger passions. here to stretch their
claws" They look askant at New York,
with its immense masses of imperfectly
assimilated foreigners. with its Little
Italy, with its mysterious. Chinatown,
with its Syrian quarter, with its half
selves whether the metropolis Of the
United States can any longer be consid-
cred an American city.
To this last question the answer is easy.
New York is quite as American today as
1t ever has been In any of its three cen
turies. Diversity of blood has always
been its dominant characteristic. As one
of its historians has tersely asserted, mo
sooner has one set of varying elements
been fused together than another stream
has been poured into the crucible. There
probably has been no period in the city's
growth during which New Workers whose
parents were born in New York formed
the majority of the population; and there
never has been a time when the bulk OF
the citizens were of English blood"

BELLS UNDER WATER.
Submarine Signals to Take Place Of Old
Fashioned Warning.

The old-time aerial fog-bell, operated
for the benefit Of marines during foggy
weather, which was only moderately eff
cient and a decided annoyance to nearby
communities. will probably be largely sup
planted In the near future by the sub
marine electric bell, which has been in
process of development during the past
five years.
That a practical device appears to have
been evolved is evidenced by a test re-
Gently conducted in Boston harbor, where
a bell was operated continuously for 900
hours. striking about twenty blows a
minute. thus making about a million
strokes in all, which at all times we're
audible in the cabin of the Boston Light
ship, moored at a distance of five miles.
This performance is considered all the
more remarkable when 1t Is considered
that the sounding bell was located at a
depth of seventy feet and was operated
by a small two-horsepower oil engine and
dynamo and maintained at a point over
two miles away
The signals are made audible by means
or specially contrived receivers, which are
hung over the ships side, connecting with
telephones located in the captains cabin.

Canadian Government has ordered eight

states board have placed an experimental
order for two.
IL Is proposed to place such bells at
points, the approach to which naviga<
tors should be warned. and which can
not be otherwise marked in fOggy weather
than by vibratory signals of one kind
or another.-Philadelphia Record.

DICKENS SPOKE TO HIM.
And What the Great Author Said to the
Yankee Boy.

Henry c. Robinson, a witty lawyer, who
used to live In Hartford, Conn.,, told the
following anecdote one evening, says the
Youths Companion, when he was intro
ducing an English author to a Hartford
audience:
THE most famous Englishman whom I
ever saw wac Charles Dickens, who lee
tured here in Hartford when I was a
young boy.
Il had read some of the stories of his
great writer and l was most anxious to
catch a glimpse of the mar himself. So on
the. afternoon when he was expected to
arrive 1 walked up and down the street
to stay.
The hotel was built close to the side
walk n the long windows of the parlor
were so low that the passerby could easily
see into the room.
II soon realized that a gentleman was
sitting within reading a paper. l stepped
close up under the window and pressed
my face against the glass. eager to get a
good look at the stranger. Yes, 1t was he!
II really was. l had seen his picture
often and couldn't be mistaken. l stared
and stared, anxious to impress every
feature upon my memory After a few
moments he turned and saw me there, the
little eager Yankee boy, gazing up at his
face: and then the famous man, lying
aside his paper, actually spoke, so that |
really heard the voice of the great Charles
Dickens himself and he was really talking
to me-"
Here Mr.. Robinson paused lmpressively

GAVE AWAY HER CITY
BUT MRS. ~SUMMERVILLE
WANTS IT BACK.
Gary. Site of Big Steel Plant, Once
Thought to Be Worthless
Sand Dunes.

CHICAGO. July S.-Claimants have
arisen to the heart of New York and the
lake front Of Chicago, but the sensation OF
sensations to Garyites came recently when
a New York society woman who once gave
the town away arose in her wrath and
said she wanted 1t back again. And there
Is n possibility that $500 persons who have
bought 1t UP 10 the form OF town lois
may lose their property.
The story of her claim goes back to the
days when Gary was a patch of sand
dunes, railroad tracks and marsh grass.
Mrs. Caroline F. Summerville at that time
held the title to what Is now the heart of
the steel metropolis.
Through the devious wlndinEs of real es-
tate transfers the 600 acres comprising the
heart of Gary came into the possession OF
John Gunzenhauser. a Chicago real estate
dealer. He sold 1t for $4,000 to the United
States Steel Corporation, and it in turn
sold about 5000 lots to small investors.
One of these investors recently became
suspicious Of the title to his land, and
secured the services of John I. Sawyer to
see II 1t were clear. Sawyer said IL wasn't,
and that the title rested with Mrs. Sum-
mervllle. He went to New York to see her
about It.
Sawyer a Y he found Mrs. Summerville
busily engaged in many and trying social
duties. He spoke to her about the title
to the land. Recol1ecting that she had
purchased 1t for about 50 an acre. Sawyer
relates that Mrs. Summerville said:
"Oh, 1t isn't worth anything"
"Will you give ms a quit claim deed to
the $40 ~acres?"
Certainly"
Sawyer came back TO Gary believing he
had the whole town In his pocket.
Then another lawyer, d. j. Moran, Is
said to have heard of the transaction. He
went to New York. Mrs. Summerville
was informed that Gary was a metropolis.
As soon as she heard of it she sent Moran
back. Now he has filed suit In the Lake
County Qndiana) Superior Court against
Sawyer, accusing him of securing the quit
claim deed by fraudulent representations.
The citizens of Gary are puzzled. II
Moran wins the suit for his client and
secures the property for Mrs. Summer
Vile. they ask: What do we own? And
IL Sawyer wins: Are we any better off
The grocery store in Gary remained open
until after midnight Of that eventful day
to permit a free discussion of h subject.

KILLING BUGS ON FLOWERS.

After almost killing flowers with an
emulsion and doing as much injury with
tobacco soap, one woman has learned TO
her delight that there is nothing better for
that purpose than a strong soapsuds made
by dissolving white soap in a gallon OF
water and using literally as a wash. after
which the flowers should be rinsed with a
spray. 1t kills the small green bugs and Is
splendid for the small black ones which
destroy chrysanthemums and fall roses. 1t
is beneficial to use on Rambler roses. The
soapsuds should remain on long enough to
kill the insects before rinsing them with
clear water.

REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL

Self contro is that admirable trait when
prevents you from having lots of fun.
IT'S astonishing what comfort some peo-
pie get worrying over their neighbors who
live beyond their Incomes.
There is no more uninspiring thing In
the world than a relative.
When a man gets up to give his seat to a
pretty girl and a fat, enraged lady slides
into It, It is a sign he Is going to kick him
self good and hard, while the other pas
sengers grin.
A girl always says don't when she Is
kissed, not because she wants TO say 1t or
because she means ii or for any reason
whatever, except that she knows her
mother would expect her to put up some
such bluff to prove she had the right KIM
of bringing up.
