INDIANA'S DRY SPOTS.

The Rev E. S. Shumaker of this city, superintendent elect of the In- diana Anti-Saloon league, has com piled statistics showing a total of 710 dry townships in Indiana, with total population of 1,041,335; fifty three wards, with a population of 103,250, and twenty-four districts, with a population of 94, 800, making the totals 7S7 for the dry townships wads and districts. and the total pop ulation represented 1,224,375, after deducting 15,000 for overlapping territory. Mir Shumaker figures that 33S townships are dry without any known remonstranee. and they have total population of 367,642, that sixty-two townships, with a popula. tion of 9s,156, were made dry by remonstrances under the Nicholson law, and that BIO townships. the pop ulation of which is 575.527, were made dry by remonstrances under the Moore law. Since May 1, 1905, s04 saloons were either closed or prevent ed from operating, after deducting thirty-eight from the totals for places that were twice demonstrated against Of this number 797 were closed by township remonstrance, ninety by city ward and fifty-hve by residence district remonstranees.

The debate now going on between the democrats about the availability of MT Bryan and others for the nomi nation for president leads the Au' gusta Chronicle to declare: While it is certainly desirable that south ern man be made president, that ob' ject must be accomplished at least upon a basis of merit both in man and platform, and not alone upon a mere geographical accident of birth For the voters of the country to cast their ballots for a candidate merely because he is a southerner would be as insane as southern people casting theirs against the candidate simply because he halls from New York or any other northern state. What demo- crats want is a candidate that can win, and the best display of Ameri- canism they can make will be to unite in supporting such man."

One of the curious things about the telegrapher's strike is the ease with which the companies, according to their own reports, are securing all the telegraphers to take the place of the strikers. It was understood that in this era of great prosperity no one was out of employment. Certainly 1t would not seem that men following distinctly skilled occupation like telegraphy, which by the way is very badly paid in relation to the ability necessary to carry 1t on, would not in this moment be out of a job. Yet the owners of the telegraph compan- ies and managers, say that they can find plenty of unemployed tele- graphers and that the strike is not affecting their business. They ought to know, they are doing the hiring. But if in a skilled occupation there are more men idle than there are men who being employed go out on strike, it does not seem as though the gold en era for the workingman had yet arrived. If this is the case with the telegraphers. what must it be with the unskilled laborer?

CELTIC AT COLUMBIA.
Professor from the Middle West Will Teach Irish and Welsh.

The division of modern languages and literatures at Columbia has es- tablished four courses in Celtic, to begin with the opening of the aca- demic year 190S-09. Dr John Law renee Gerig will have charge of the new department.
 He was graduated from the Uni versity of Missouri in 1898 and took his masters degree there the year following. He got Ph. D. from the University of Nebraska in 1902, after he had instructed a year in Missouri. He was an instructor in Nebraska for four years, and after wards a year at Williams in the modern language department. He is now lecturer at Columbia.
 Dr Gerig will give courses of one hour a week in elementary and ad- vanced old Irish, elementary Welsh and in the elements of comparative Celtic grammar.

By the middle of July, soap, sun and iron have done their deadly work in the wardrobe of Miss Baby, so ad- mirably planned and daintily executed at the beginning of the season. Laces which were guaranteed to wash well now look bedraggled and lifeless.
 Colors that the busy mother was quite sure would not fade have de- teriorated into streaked yellows and spotted blues. And sometimes the mother who thought she would not have to put hand to needle or machine until September. at least, finds herself wondering whether she will not have

The outlook for the market is still unsatisfactory, says Banker Clews Prices are very low and there are plenty of good stocks which are real. ly very cheap from the investor S point of view. The monetary situa- tion, however, has not yet fully right ed itself, and further liquidation seems more than probable. with in- tervening rallies of more or less i'm. portance. Such being the case. it is inadvisable to go too heavily into debt. Saturdays bank statement ought to show a considerable eontrac- tion of loans as a result of recent li- quidation. Should the money situa- tion become acute. Secretary Cortel- you will no doubt aid the money market to the extent of about s50,- 900. 900, but while call money con- tinues as abundant and as easy as al present. there Is no necessity for im- mediate action. A considerable short interest will naturally at times be created and the market in conse- quence will frequently be in posi- tion for occasional sharp rallies whenever conditions favor; quick in and out turns in the market will prove very profitable to alert traders in the immediate future.

does not mean so much, but were they covered with tucks frills, lace and em- broidery the work would be trebled.
 An old style that Is revived. Is the bishop dress for the youngsters to play in, and if made in fine material is quite pretty enough to visit in. How ever. 1t works up so we'll in little checks, with just touch of embroi- dery at the neck and sleeves, that it is most popular In that sort of mate rial. The sleeves of these bishop dresses form a nsrt of the dress and are joined right on to the neck band, and you cannot imagine how child welcomes the freedom of these little play frocks.
 The same simplicity is found in out CT garments, and the plain long coat that falls In unbroken lines from the shoulders is the favorite for young children, and 1t is always becoming to them.
 Time was when belts were used, fancy buttons, colored braids and even lace, but those must all be put away for another time. A little vel. vet collar can hardly be classed as trimming. To some children who are particularly pale or sallow. 1t lends a tone to their cheeks, and for such children 1t is recommended.
 Almost all the babies are wearing little plain pique hats, the tops of which are buttoned on. These little hats protect the baby's eyes and are readily laundered. For the little one who still wears a cap, one made of a sheer handkerchief is as pretty and effective as those costing much more.
 These should be fitted to the head of the child and tied with q tiny pink or blue ribbon under the chin. Sun bonnets for the children who play out. doors are again much worn. and can readily be made at home, while the older children who wear straw hats have them trimmed with just an ex. tremely large bow of ribbon or a wreath of flowers.
