YOKOHAMA, oct. 25.-The Atlantic
battleship fleet sailed out of Yokohama
harbor promptly at o'clock this
morning to continue its voyage around
the world, and the send-oft that was
accorded the Americans as the snlps
nut to sea was such a celebration as
had never been before heard of or seen
in Japan.
At daylight this morning, the last
launches from the fleet and small mar
Dor craft were speeding back and forth
between ships and shore, carrying the
belated men of the feet to their re-
spective vessels, while other boats of
tn harbor, brilliant with color and
laden with crowds, gathered to bid the
fleet godspeed, steamed slowly about
the anchored ships.
Every available launch in the harbor
was pressed into this service of carry
ing parties of citizens, anxious to say
farewell, out to the ships. Larger
steamships loaded with excursionists,
steamed about ready to follow the fleet
out to deep water.
Officials Visit Flagship
Promptly at 7:30 o'clock launch
bearing Vice Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs Macy and other japanese ofhcials,
steamed alongside the Connecticut.
The Japanese dignltaries were re-
ceived with a salute from the guns of
the Connecticut and the usual marine
guard turned out for them when they
reached the deck. Minister Macy was
the bearer OF the farewells of the ma
ton to Admiral SperTy, who was on
deck early and received the official
leave taking with the proper cere-
monies.
These farewells said, Rear Admiral
Kaito, who was of the party, was taken
back to his own flagship, the Mikasa,
and Immediately thereafter the Con-
necticut weighed anchor and heading
the long line of American ships in sin
gle rank formation, steamed down the
harbor and out past the breakwater,
while the guns of the Japanese fleet
thundered the last goodby Of the ma
ton.

HIS PARENTS FRUSTRATED.

A report from Colorado Springs
today states that the parents and
friends of Donald Matthews. the
young man killed on a Rio Grande
Western train while coming to this
city, brand as absurd the report that
the boy was trying to steal ride.
The Colorado Springs Gazette has
the following to say:
THE parents are Frustrated by
the sad event and are anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the body and
further details of the accident.
''The boy is known to have been
of unusually steady habits, and the
story that he was struck by a train
pulling out of the yards seems alb
surd to the parents and other rela-
tives. There is some suspicion that
he may have accepted a job as a
switchman in the yards and been
killed in the performance of his du-
ties.
According to his parents the boy
had an ambition for a naval career
and was made an alternate candi-
date from this congressional; district
for the naval academy at Annapolis

self with inferior supporting actors
and actresses. He picks the best
talent obtainable and rejoices in the
individual success of each member
of his cast.
Mr.. Walker has been warmly
greeted by many old friends in this
city today. He is always most
cordially welcomed and pleasant WIS.,
itor at the Sentinel office. There are
no better known theatrical mana
gers than he, and there is no deny
ing that the work of Mr.. Walker
has been largely responsible for the
wonderfully successful tours across
the continent the famous actor has
enjoyed through the years. Mr.. Wal
ker began coming to Grand Junction
in the early '90s. He says he is al
ways glad to visit this "city of sun
shine" Talking about his many Wis
its here this morning, Mr.. Walker
exclaimed: do you know, l liked
this town the very first time 1 ever
saw it. 1t lacked whole lot being
as big then as it IS now; but l al
who have remembered my predic-
tions) that Grand Junction was
bound to grow and prosper; that II
simply couldn't be held down."
Mr.. Walker declares that Mr.. Han.
ford's 1907-S season has been a re-
markably successful one in spite oi
the financial furry. The company is
now playing the cities of the north
west. For a quarter of a century
Mr. Hanford has been seen annually
in Shakespearean plays, but none OF
the productions have been more en-.
Enthusiastically received than "Anto.
ny and Cleopatra"
The same cordial and enthusiastic
welcome that has been accorded him
annually in the past will meet Mr.
Charles B. Hanford at the Park Mon

Mr.. f. Lawrence Walker. for the
past 16 years the manager and ad-
vance representative of Charles B.
Hanford, the great Shakespearean
actor, arrived from Salt Lake City
last night and is a guest at the st.
Regis. Today he completed the ar
rangements with Manager Edwin A.
Haskell of the Park opera house for
the engagement of Mr. Hanford and
his great company at the Park on
the evening of Monday, April 6,
which engagement has as usual been
booked more than a year ahead. Mr..
Walker is followed in a week by the
advertising and lithographing agents
of the company.
The coming of Hanford is always
looked forward to each season by
the Grand Junction theatergoers and
many who may not be called regu-
lar theatergoers but who never fail
| to see the noted Interpreter OF
| Shakespeare.
Charles B. Hanford has been seen
in this city every year for many
years, and on every occasion the size
of the audience that has greeted him
has been limited only by the capac-
| ity of the Park theater. and this
year will be no exception to the gen
| eral rule.
This year Mr.. Hanford will be
seen in a stupendous production OF
Antony and Cleopatra" said to be
the most magnificent, brilliant and
successful stage presentation of any
of the tragedies of the bard of Avon
ever given by Mr.. Hanford or any
other actor. The stage settings for
the various acts are wonderful in
their richness and absolutely cor
rect from a historical standpoint.
Mr.. Hanford is supported this year
by an unusually large company, con-
sisting of splendid supporting cast
and a beautiful ballet necessary for
an ideal production of this story OF
the Egyptian queen.
Miss Alice Wilson, "a beautiful ac-
tress of remarkable talent and en-
viable success, is starring with Mr.
Hanford this season, Miss Marie
Drofnah, seen here so many times
in the past with Mr.. Hanford, not
being with the company this season
owing to long and serious illness
John M. Kline, who made such q
hit in Grand Junction last year in

SCHOOL FOR HOUSEWIVES.

Chicago to Teach Girls How to Bake
 Pies and to Darn.
 Chicago Disp. to The New York World Chicago Is preparing to turn out high school girls who can make all the
 things mother used to make" and make them better. supt. Cooley has submitted his plans to the school board for three technical high schools ex- clusively for girls. The segregation feature will meet opposition in the board. but 1t is expected to win when 1t is shown that only by segregation can all the accomplishments which Chicago will shower on the girls be obtained. The plans include one high school in each division of the city.
 In addition to advance courses in l needlework, the girls will be taught to cook. to make their own clothing. and to master all the difficulties of up-to-date housekeeping.
 They will be taught the secrets of good marketing with the minimum am- ount of money. Music and millinery will go together.
 Designing and trimming hats will not be neglected, and those who have desire to enter trades which have been invaded by feminine labor will be given courses in the trades they select.
 Principal Armstrong of the Engle- wood High School has tried the ex- pertinent with a part of his pupils for several years. and has reported a fair degree of success, but not all the ed ucational authorities of the city agree with him. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, principal of the Chicago Normal School. and incidentally one of the highest salaried women in the United States. has declared herself repeat edly as opposed to the plan.
 'aThe distinction between the sexes Is physical, not mental" Mrs. Young said. '' There is no difference. neces- sarily, between the mind of girl and the mind of boy. You make them dif- ferent when you educate them differ ently. The girls should be given the same advantages--and they should be given side by side with the boys"
 'I believe the technical schools for girls will be big success" said Supt. Cooley, Conditions are changing, and our plan Is to send them out prepared to make good wives or to develop into expert workers in the sphere they se- lect for their industry. We have sew eral technical schools for the boys, and they are a success. We have use for many more This is the first attempt to give the girls tuition aleng the same lines, but in the work recognized as exclusively for women. A boy or girl leaving these schools has a much bet ter chance to cope with exciting con ditions in the industrial world than one who ha3 not had the advantages of the schooling. Boys would only be in the way when girls have their own work to do, It Is the same as in the home. Boys are in the way in. the kit chen and dining room when a girl has work to do. l cannot see anything but good in the segregation.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2T, 1908

Referring to MT. Bryan's desire to inquire into and explain "ths mystery of 1908" as he designates his signal defeat. The Chattanooga Times thinks it should be an easy matter to settle. sThel only mystery about the cata- eIysn of 1sos," it says, 'lies in the fact that the leaders, Mir. Bryan up pernost. failed to apprehend the fact shadowed in every exponent of Dem ocratic thought and sentiment before the Denver convention. except in the few newspapers hypnotized by MT. Bryan's oratorical spells. that what the people wanted was a return to genuine Democracy under the leader ship of a genuine Democrat. There Is no mystery in the fact that the American people refuse to be led aheld in populism under the guid- ance of an impractical dreamer"
 In our humble judgment MT. Bryan will do we'll to let the matter remain where it is. If he insists on pushing his inquiries. and If Democrats are dis posed to express themselves plainly he will hear very much that will not be at all flattering to him, or to hi' high opinion of himself as a leader of Democracy.

IT IS TO LAUGH.

An Englishwoman has been over to this country and spent six weeks, most of 1t in New York we infer. Like many of her countrymen she writes book about us. It Is somewhat of fad for our English cousins to write about us, and many of them, like this latest one, imagine that if they spend few weeks in the United States and visit New York and Washington, they have seen the country and know all about it's people. Then they return home and tell all about us. Some times we wonder how they can learn SO much about us in such short time.
 This latest one hasn't a good opinion of our men. We really do not know whether 10 feel aggrieved or grati- fled. but 1t matters not Our men she goes on to say lack backbone. They are" she declares, "to namby- pamby. Our men are fine specimens of manly men. We'll I guess that come from fighting. don't you think so?

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

somewhat novel instance of the relation between cause and effect comes up in connection with what is known as alarming cotton" that is, thread used especially for the purpose of alarming stockings. A New York dry goods merchant says the sale of this article has fallen of very materi- ally of late and this he says is a sign of prosperity. his argument being. that women quit alarming their stockings when they become able to buy new ones. He says that when times are very hard the women will repair their hosiery as often as the articles will the stockings will be darned but once, or not at all. We notice that the president of one of the large New England thread mills confirms what the New York merchant says. The Indianapolis Star thinks these men islander the American women. Do not women darn their stockings. hard thinks that is a point that ought to have holes in them?" 1t ask, and thinks that is point that ought to be settled. Perhaps so. but how will one go about it?
 And this reminds us of another in- stance of the same kind. Somewhere not long ago We read that a large dealer in shoes and leather in an Eastern city remarked that he didn't need to read the newspapers to learn i that better times had come. but could tell it by the changes in the demand for his goods. He said that while the hard times prevailed there was an un- usual demand for leather pegs nails and other materials used in re- pairing shoes, as the people of limited or moderate means were repairing shoes. or having it done, and wearing them as long as possible. When the demand for repairing material de- creased and the demand for shoes in creased the merchant knew that better times had arrived. Thus two dealers in footwear and repairing material reached the same conclusion by req sonlng from similar premises. We wonder if dealers in other articles of human wear have noticed the same re- 1 lation of cause and effect?
