What About a Cook Stove?

Now that summer time and 'dog-days''
are iust ahead. everybody who sum
simplify things and get the most COM
fort ont of an uncomfortable situation.
We interview the ice-man; order thin
clothes; plan to ease up here and relax
one most important item in the whole
hot-weather scheme-some means of do
ing tn" family cooking without the in
Sliferable heat of coal fire in the
kitchen.
Everyone with experience knows how
tlreSome it is to stay in stujfy room
to prepare meal, let alone the doing Of
a big baking. Put everyone doesn't know
how easy it is to change hot kitchen
to n cool one. and do better cooking at
the Same time. Just add to your list of
Smmmerd conveniences New Perfection
Wick Blue Fllme Oil Cook-stove and
you've done all that any one can do to
lessen hot weather discomfort.
Wouldn't it be ftnc of a summer morn
kettle, broil the steak. bake the mullins,
filter the &C fee and give the brea kfast
call in one fourth the time you'd take to
do it all on a coal stover
And wouldn't it be fine to be as cool
when the BREAKFAST was prepared as
when YOU first entered TIE kitchen?
People who have tried it say that
does everything il: the line of cooking
and domestic service without oyerheating
the room or the worker.
Undoubtedly the reason is to be
found II the blue flame principle on
which the stove works.
A cylindrical chimney concentrates the
heat at the stove top and in this way pre-
verts surface radiation as in a coal or
wood stove. =
1t is easy to see that this lessons very
much the matter of personal discomfort
in summer housekeeping.
So don't forget the New Perfection OH

senator Latimer,s Death.

Death at all times is awesome and
profoundly impressive. To journey from
out this vale of tears into that undis-
covered country whence no traveller
returns is to enter a mystery older than
the hills and more wOndrous than the
universe itself.
Never is death more shocking, however,
than when It seizes suddenly snd almost
without warning upon a man in the full
bloom of health. strength, and virility-
such a man as Senator Latimer, OF South
Carolina, appeared 10 be. A week ago he
seemed reasonably sure OF many years
70 come; to-day he is no more. a week
ago he stood in the Senate chamber OF
the United States-"the greatest and most
august deliberative body on earth" as
it has been so often and so truly called
the peer OF any member. His State had
no higher honor to offer, his friends no
greater boon to ask in his behalf. Ma
ture seemed TO have provided him with
a robust constitution; pain, sickness. and
vital weakness apparently were strangers
10 him. All in a moment his call came;
he fingered a little while, and passed
away. His great Office is vacant, his toga
laid aside. He is but common clay, sink
ing into its destined let.
Men who pause not to contemplate the
sadness of this shocking incident in the
country's forward march are not true
men. The striking down of public serv-
ant against whom no adverse word may
be said is not an incident lightly to be
thought upon. Those men out yonder
on Capitol Hill hold in their keeping the
destinies of the proudest republic on
earth. In the main, they are good men:
honest and patriotic. Nevertheless. we
laugh at them, gibe them. critlcise them.
and often abuse them a good deal more
than the occasion always justifes. We
DO this. perhaps. because its our way of
doing things: as a matter of fact. we
entertain for them down in our hearts a
large measure of respect
The passing of Senator Latimer-more
than usually pathetic. as such things 60
moves us to profound sorrow. He seem
ingly had so much to live for; to die upon
the threshold of his career in the national
forum was sad in the extreme.

A Naval Inquiry Promised.

Senator Hale's announcement of the
purpose Of the Committee on Naval At
fairs to conduct thorough inquiry into
the efficiency of the navy assures a COM
plete ventilation Of the allegations re-
specting the quality of our ships that
have lately attracted such wide atten-
ton. Mr.. Hale promises that the whole
controversy will be gone into. with q
view of settling the question whether
our ships are what they are alleged TO
be, and with the intention also. we pre-
sumo, Of determining whether our sys-
tenn Of naval management is capable of
attaining the best results.
The Senator from Maine has no doubt,
in his own mind, upon either Of these
points. Having had an. experience OF
over thirty years in naval affairs and
having witnessed the growth Of the new
navy. requiring the expenditure, for con-
struction and maintenance. OF the enor-
nous sum Of s1.2OO, ,0O0, GEO. Mr.. Hale is
still convinced that the bureau system.
though not perfect. is the best system
practicable and possible Of operation. {"
We have. as the product Of our naval ex-
penditure, navy that is. in Mr.. Hale s
belief. composed Of as good ships as
corresponding ships built by other naval
powers" He thinks that the criticism OF
the navy is unfair. unsupported by the
facts. and misrepresentation Of the real
condition of the ships.
The inquiry 70 be made is germane to
the bill introduced by Senator Hale some
time ago. since the fundamental feature
Of that bill Is the retention and strength
ening Of the bureau system and the abol-
ition Of the advisory boards constituted 10
remedy the alleged deficiencies Of that
system. The administration of the bu-
reaus. the Senator recognizes, involves
every question that has been raised as to
the efficiency Of the feet. for the bureaus
are responsible for construction and
equipment. Thus the investigation bids
fair 20 be exhaustive Of all the matters
at issue.

that his political relations to the Presi-
