DEFENDERS DAY
At BALTIMORE
NiNETY-FOURTH.. ANNIVERSARY
OF HISTORIC DEFENSE OF
CITY ON CHESAPEAKE.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 12.-Old Defend
ers' Day, the anniversary of the bat
| tie of North Point in defense of Balti-
| more against the British in 1914, was
generally observed in Baltimore and
throughout Maryland today. By proc
lamation of the mayor and governor it
is legal holiday in the city and state,
all the banks. exchanges and public in
stitutions being closed. Commercial
business was partially suspended and
several celebrations Of a patriotic
character were held.
A project has been set on foot to
hold an International exposition in this
city in 1914, the centennial of the de-
Tense of Baltimore, which marked the
climax of the war of 1912 and the birth
of the Star Spangled Banner Pre-
liminary steps have been taken to put
the plan into effect.
Five thousand British soldiers, 1000
sailors and 1000 marines under Gen
eral Ross and Admiral Cookburn. took
part in the attack on Baltimore Many
of the troops had been with the Duke
of Wellington in his victories over Ma
poleon's armies in Spain and were
styled 'Wellington's Invincibles.'' They
were defeated by the unframed de-
tenders of Baltimore in a desperate
battle on September II, 1914. General
Ross and 700 British troops were killed,
while the loss to the American forces
was only twenty killed
1t was this victory and the sight of
"Old Glory" floating over Fort McHen-
ry, after the terrific bombardment to
which it was subjected the following
| night, that inspired Francis Scott Key
to compose the American national an
| them, "The Star Spangled Banner"

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September II.
-(SpeciaD -Although the fifth annual
convention of the National Rivers and
Harbor congress will not meet until De-
Gem erbni this city, the officials OF the
congress are busily engaged in securing
representative men to deliver addresses
during the three days the congress will
remain in session. And 1t can now be
stated that the efforts of the president
of the congress, Joseph E. Ransdell, Of
Louisiana, and the secretary, Captain
J. F. Ellison, of Cincinnati, Ohio. in
securing eminent speakers for the: Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors congress,
give promise of making the forthcom-
history of this great national move
ing convention the most brilliant in the
ment.
The Chinese minister, Dr. Ting Fang,
will address the congress at one of its
sessions, the precise date not having
been decided upon, his subject being
Canals and Waterways of the Flowery
Kingdom
The canals of China extend all
through its valleys and are more nu-
merous than the roads in our most
populous states, their construction in
some cases. especially in Ningpo, dat
ing back to 400 years B. c.
Investigation shows that the prin-
cipal canals in China. were natural out
lets from lakes and swamps, the soil
being alluvial, the same as the great
valley of the mississippi; hence the
first canals in the country which Minis
ter WI represents in Washington, were
| like the bayOus of Louisiana, their flow
| in the river being INSTRUCTED by dams
| at the mouth.
| AS to the extent of trade by these
canals, which touch nearly all of the
farms in many of the districts, it is
difficult to ascertain, the Chinese gov

hewould serve their highest good. If We would promote the highest
 interests of the Natives of Alaska, undoubtedly the thing to do in theface of present and prospec- tive future conitions Is to give them the English as rapidly as possible and bury their impov- erished dialect at the earliest date. l.. F. Jones

customs and advance in civiliz- ation. Those who know no En- gliSh are great sticklers for old customs. Those, on the other hand, who speak English are the ones that are getting away from the old customs. Again if they all knew the English, the teachers and missionaries would have an infinitely wider scope in teaching them and preaching to them. We could then take them intothe realms of history, science literature, etc.. which are now out of their ken. Commercially, intellectually and spiritually 1t is to their highest interest to acquire the English. But learning their language and addressing them in it would only encour- age them to hold on to it to the neglect of the English Other wise they have every incentive to learn the English. If the Thlingets were to be isolated from white people, or if none of them were in possession of the English, and if their dia- lect was not doomed soon to die, then it might be wise in spending time in acquiring it.
 Fifty years ago it would have been not only proper, but nec- essary to learn itin order to com municate with them as none of them knew the English.
 Fifty years ago MT. Duncan went amongst the TSlmpsheans. HeWaS obliged to learn their language in order to communicate with them, as theywere all ignorant of his. But today woulda successor of his, waste time in acquiring the Tsimpshean tongue when half, or more then half, of the Tsimpshe- ans speak the English?No. But he would bring them allto know the English as rapidly as possible if

should learn the dialect of the Talingcts that they might ad- dress them in their own tongue.
 Verify l once thought so my self and gave myself heartily to learning the dialect. But after spending much time at 1t and acquiring some knowledge of it, I came to the conclusion that I was making a mistake and could more profitably spend the time given to it in some other study.
 My reasons for thinking sowere First: The dialect isin rapid de- cay an.! is doomed to soon pass away. A large percentage ofthe Natives now speak the English. The rising generation will prac- tically all acquire it,
 Secondly: It is an extremely deficient language, and limited to a very few people.
 Thirdly; Unlike the Hydah or Tsimpshean tongue. the Thlinget is made fprovincialisms, and he who acquires it in one town may have a hard time to make himself understood in others.
 Lastly: and the strongest reason of all. every thing should bedone toencourage and help the Nativesto acquire the English. This would give them a tongue to communicate with the English speaking peoples who are bound to populate their country and with whom they must, in the future, altogether deal. It would also give them immediate access to the literature of the world.
 Now they have no literature; not one single written character save a few totemic signs. Confined 10 their own narrow dialect they would forever remain intellectual paupers. Then again, by drop ping their dialect and acquiring the English, they would the more

is generally admitted that the four
great annual events at which .femi-
nine clothes divide interest with
III sport so far as women are con-
cerned, are the Grand PriX at
Longchamps and the Ascot cup race in
the spring. the tennis tournament at
Newport in midsummer and the national
horse show at Madison Square Garden
in the autumn. This typically American
exhibit was years ago facetiously dubbed
by the irreverent the clotheshorse
show" and as such it will continue to
be termed in frivolous circles so long as
dressmakers and milliners put forth their
best efforts in behalf of the women of
genuine social position. as well as those
of wealth, beauty and social aspirations,
who are annually on view at close range
within the walls of the vast building.

The Use of Perfumes.

So many women ask what Is that inde-
scribably dainty odor which others OF
their sex shed around them nowadays.
It's not positive perfume. only just the
most refined sweetness imaginable. 1t is
violet. simply violet. but violet is every
thing. perfume, sachets. perfumed dannel&
for lacking in dress Innings, tooth wash.
hair tonics. bath tablets, everything.
This is the recipe given by a chemist
for the woman who would be not only
as fair as the rose. but radiate an odor
equally as sweet. And in spite OF the fad
for stronger and more powerful perfumes.
it is asserted that women of refinement
still use nothing but violet.
But perfume alone won't yield this de-
lightful but evanescent fragrance. A wo-
man must take violet for her hygienic
text and live up to it faithfully IL she
would be able to create that mysterious
and delightful atmosphere of rare flowers
about her.
Perfume of any sort should never be
used profusely. There should be only Q
suspicion of the odor clinging about the
garments. and this is only obtained by
the use of sachets placed in the closets
where gowns are hung or places where
underelothes are kept Perfume0 AAnnel.

latter is set a ruche of white lace or tulle
which springs petal-like abou. the chin
and has delightful way of concealing the
marks of times fingers near the ears.
This black and white neck ruff is the out
of-door replica of one that is designed
solely for house wear and has a chic little
bow terminating its black velvet ribbon
neckband.
Some of the newest pieces of neckwear
seem to have been specially designed to
meet the exigencies of the directoire coat
fronts, the upper edge of the wide neck
band being widely frilled SO that 1t will
stand out from the top of the incroyable
collar. and the lower edge trimmed with
graduated frilings which are narrow at
the back and widen gradually into a
deep point below the chin.
Very girlish rufus are made by massing
fluffy silk flower petals upon the top of
the ribbon neckband instead of tulle or
net frills. The same idea is good in os-
trich feather spirals.
Feather collars in marabou. ostrich and
coque are no longer a novelty save in
the matter of their color treatment, for
instead of being all in one tone they are
now seen in two shades. which. however
are not In vivid contrast. such as black
with white or brown with yellow. The
idea is to make the colors blend harmo-
niously. and IT is worth remembering that
the people who renovate ostrich pumes
can also refurbish boas, and that mara
bou combines equally we'll with the
plumage of the long-Iegged South African
bird and the American barnyard autocrat.
A girdle rightly shaped will do more
for the undermining Of a frock than any
other small accessory. Fortunately there
are no hard and fast rules about the
width of the fitted and featherboned silk
satin Wristbands. the main idea be-
ing that il shall reduce the apparent
length of the waist or elevate its line
This happy consummation is brought
about by making the upper edge of the
girdle point sharply from the center of
the back to the under arm seam and
from there over the lower edge of the
girdle slant abruptly to the front. 1t
