FILIBUSTER SHIP DETAINED.
British Steamer Suspected Of Aiding
Santo Domingo INSURGENTS.

New York, July 1.-Suspected of pre-
pairing for filibustering expedition to
the island of Santo Domingo, the Brit
ish steamship Ethelwold, in port, is to
be refused clearance papers by order
Of the secretary of commerce and la
Dor.
The vessel has been lying close to
the firearms warehouse Of Francis &
Bannerman. This aroused suspicion
and the circumstances were cOmmuni-
Gated to the state department by Senior
Sannon, the Haitian minister. One end
of the island is occupied by Haiti and
the other by the Dominican republic,
hence the minister's interest in the
matter.
Captain Brown of the Ethelwold is
believed to be acting in conjunction
with Giordania and Jiminez, two
Dominican politicians now in the
United States. 1t is thought that the
plan was to have munitions of war
carried to sea ON the Ethelwold and
then transferred to some other vessel.

CorsetS Must Go.

The corset is woman'S closest friend,
literally as well as figuratively, and
that's no Joke. Neither is it joke
how the corset has been tOrturing her

her.
During the past few years a great

sets and as many corresponding fig
ures' have been i'll style. Woman has
altered her shape again and again at
the behest of fashion. regardless OF the
intentions of nature, and all this chang
ING could have but one result. 1t is
already manifest. 1t is a crusade TO
do away with the corset entirely and
hermit the female form to be just as
WAS intended in the beginning. The
agitation against it has begun where
the evils of tight lacing have been most
pronounced-in France.
The organs inside the body are capa-
bic of being compressed to a most
alarming degree, and thus it happens
that fashions DEGREES have made many

Most Petted Women in the World.
That we are the most INDUCED and
petted women in the world is undOubt-
eddy true: it is difficult to see why we
should claim a powerful place in the
national life While the women of 9th
er countries are making and saving,
our women are wasting and spending.
The light-hearted Italian women are

their frugality and their not inconsid-
cradle business ability. Their less

sisters are miracles Of Woodworking

that the American can only wonder
how they manage to live at all.
1t is also Interesting to observe that
for her success in homemaking the Ger

he may talk with brutal diSpara cement
about the female BRAIN but when he
goes ont to amuse himself it doesn't
occur to him to 90 alone. He takes
with him his wife and children. That

Burroughs Exploring Canyon.

In a letter received by his wife, John
Burroughs, the author and naturalist,
who is making a tour of the Grand Can
YOU of the Colorado, together with John
Muir, the Western explorer. tells of the
wonders of the petrifed forest through
which they have passed. He says it was
the strangest spectacle he ever beheld.
He asserts his belief that these trees
never were like any trees now standing
upon the earth. but were more of the
nature of gigantic ferns or PUSHES, a very
soft and open structure. In describing
them he says: Remember that in these
petrifed trees the wood does not turn to
stone but is removed cell by cell, and
mineral matter held in solution by the
water is. put in its place. so that the
whole tree simply serves as a mold into
which a mineral tree is cast. Every cell
and every knot is copied in stone with
absolute accuracy"

New British Steel Coming.

Prof Arnold of Sheffield University
had announced to the Royal Institution
Of London that within a year there will
be on the market a British steel with four
times the cutting power of any now
known. 1t is the product of the Cont
mental Steel Works of Sheffield, which
has just been discovered and named
Nova Superior" The discovery is the
outcome of litigation begun by the Beth
lehem Steel Company of Pennsylvania,
which had claimed patents on air-hard-
ened high-speed steel. The Sheffield peo-
pic were experimenting with a view to
rendering themselves Independent of the
American claims. The new steel will not
cause severe alterations in existing ma
chinery.
