the summer drill was announced by
Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder, who
will command the largest and strong
est aggregation of warships that has
ever assembled in American waters
There are to be IT battleships,
six feet auxiliaries, the Dixie, parent
ship, and the torpedo fiotilla of IL
boats, the. submarine fiotilla with
the gunboat Castine, parent ship,
and six submarines, and the scout
cruiser squadron of three ships.
Until late in August the fleet will
engage in elaborate tactical maneu-
vers. During it's stay in these wa
tiers the close observation will be
kept of the benefits derived from
the complete rehabilitation of the
superstructure works of the fighting
machines. These ships, all in their
new war gray, will also be given
defense and offense against the day
and night attacks of torpedo boats
and submarines.
tested in connection with the bat
tleships is the changing of the po-,
sition of the searchlights made by
the elimination of the bridges and
the placing of the searchlights on the
sides and front of the skeleton steel
battle masts.
An important matter in connec-
ton with the reassembling of the.
Atlantic fleet is the addition of sew
eraI new ships and the almost COM
plete change ip the fleet and divi-
sion commanders. The new ships
are the New Hampshire, Idaho, Wis
consin and Mississippi. These re-
place the Illinois, Kentucky and
Kearsarge
The work laid out for the fleet
will occupy every day and some OF
the nights, and include feet, squad
ron and division evolutions, day and
night offense and defense against
torpedo boat and submarine attacks,
anchoring and getting under way in
all classes of formation. The ships
will coal by divisions, and there will
be work in tactical evolutions in
small boats under sail and oars and
landing parties. Each Sunday dur
ing the summer will be given over
to the instruction of the men in
swimming and lectures on the vari-
GUS requirements of man-o'-wars-
man.
The Naval Reserves of Massachu-
sets, Maine, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, New Jersey and District of
Columbia will perform their tour of

No aeroplanes for the navy at pres
ent is the decision reached by acting
Secretary Winthrop. Plans and speciti-
cations for two machines were prepared
by the officers of the bureau of equip
ment about a year ago and the request
was turned down by Mr.. Metcaif, who
was then the Secretary of the Navy.
After the success of the Wright ma
chine for the signal service these spe-
cifcations were dug out again and for
warded to the Secretary with the in
dorsement of Admiral CowIes, the chief
of the equipment bureau. Secretary
Meyer saw several of the demonstra-
tions of the Wright machine at Fort
Myer and was much impressed, but
acting Secretary Winthrop, who is now
in charge of the Navy Department, de.
cided that he would not take the re-
sponsibility of authorizing the pur-
chase of the two machines while his
chief was away, and the whole matter
has gone over till the return of Secre.

Typhoid and the Soldier.

A soldier who takes part in a military
campaign expects to face danger and
perhaps meet death. 1t is part of his
profession. The bravery of men in
peril is well known. The world s his
tory is filled with stories of heroism.
than to be proved guilty of cowardice.
But disease is far more destructive
in warfare than the enemy's bullets.
The deaths resulting from it are always
more numerous than those which come
directly on the battlefield. AS mat
ter of fact, the soldiers killed in fight
ing are comparatively few. 1t is al
ways surprising to discover the great
mortality with which disease is
charged.
Sanitation has made marked ad-
vances since the civil war. 1t has
gone far ahead since the Spanish war.
In case of another American conflict
many lives will be saved because Of
increased knowledge of disease and the
methods of fighting it. The expert
ments with typhoid serum have special
interest because of this consideration.
The soldiers who submitted to the tests
were in the line of duty. Ii the study
of their cases gives the medical staff
of the army added ability to cope with
typhoid fever there will be a great
gain. Taken with other Investigations
in the field of medical research, the
incident is worthy of general attention.

THE MISTAKE OF LIFE.

The mistakes Of life are many as
the old song says, and only daring
man would have heart to point out
the number of mistakes which his
neighbor makes, to say nothing OF his
own manifold errors. Yet one auda'
cious man who has undertaken the
task of enumerating the mistakes OF
life is generous to limit them TO IA
And here they are:
l. Setting up ones own standard OF
right and wrong and expecting others
to conform to it.
2. Trying to measure the enjoyment
of others by our own.
8. Expecting uniformity of opinion.
4. Looking for Judgment and eX-
perience in youth.
5. Endeavoring to mold all dispo-
sitions alike.
6. Refusing to yield to unimport-
ant trifles.
7. Looking for perfection in our
own actions.

AMERICAN MEN DULL?

Every woman who has lived in
Europe feels the striking difference
between the two types Of mascullnlty'
The American man may seem more
moral and, perhaps, more wholesome
but undeniably more dull. Inc
Frenchman, the Italian, the Austrian,
are so much more entertaining, and
while their proposals are conspicu-
ously frequent without a knowledge
of the handbook, as entertainers, they
could make an American man open
his eyes. They do not lie back and
smoke and expect the womanAto
amuse them. But they find her a
comfortable chair and play Chopin to
her, they invite her to take tea in
charming corners, they plan moon
light walks and sunset rides, etc.
They Seel the obligation to be in
teresting, and | must say that they
succeed in fashion that makes the
average American man seem like a
dull, gray, awkward boy in compari'
son.
Part of this foreign notion of a
mans place in society may be based
on artifciality of manners or decep'
tive advances Or what you like, But
part of it is the honest conviction
that women are to be courted with
care and attention, that the game is
worth the candle and that reluctance
or Indifference on her part means
for them not t>-collapse, but battle.
They have too much respect foI
themselves 10 be as Indifferent as the
average American man TO matters
of art, society, or in fact, anything
but the one profession or pursuit by
which they earn their Hving.-The

FRAUDS OF MEDIUMS.
Prof. Hysop Says They Are Com
mitted uneonseiousIY BY Subjects.

In discussing Nine. Eusapia Palla-
dina, the Italian medium, who arrived
here Wednesday,, and her spectacu-
lar work abroad, Prof. James H. Hys-
lop, secretary of the American So
ciety for Psychical Research, and the
best known authority in America on
"spiritualistic" phenomena, declared
last evening that many so-called me-
diums commit fraud without being
aware that they are doing so.
Prof. Hyslop said that such medi-
ums fooled themselves without know
ink it. Their deceptions are perpe-
trated when they are in "subcon-
scious' state. He referred to the
true mediums as doing superior
mall work, and asserted htat there
is all the difference in the world be-
tween the "subconscious" and the "su-
pernormal."
81 recently investigated peculiar
case in a Western city," said he.
"The woman practiced fraud without
knowing that she did so. We held
her hands and feet, and yet she was
able to shake a tambourine. While
that was going on we took a fash
light photograph, and discovered that
she was holding the tambourine be-
tween her teeth. She was in Sub
conscious state, and did not know
that she was trying to deceive u.s.

WILL SECURE MORE
BED CROSS STAMPS
WOMEN IN CHARGE HAVE SOLD
MORE THAN $4,000 NOW.

MORE THAN 1900 NOW.
More than $4,000 Red Cross stamps
have already been sold and those in
charge have planned to secure addi-
tional stamps and raise the mark to
$4,000 instead of $4,000 as originally
planned.
More than $500 stamps were sold at
the postoffice on Wednesday. A stand
was placed in the Courtland hotel af-
ter dinner Wednesday evening and in
short time 700 stamps were sold.
About $50 of the Red Cross post cards
have been sold. Many stamps are
bought by the factories to use on mail.
The Roth and Hug drug store has
been added to the list of places where
the stamps may be bought.
Buyers of these stamps have the
satisfaction of knowing that they are
helping in splendid cause, for the
stamps are only sent to places that
guarantee that the money received
from their sale will be used in fighting
the dread tuberculosis. No Christmas
letter or package should leave Can
ton without carrying with it a Red
Cross stamp.
The sale is progressing more rapid
ly than at first owing to the fact that
more people understand about the
work now and little time is wasted in
making explanations. There are still
a few who do not realize that in addi-
tion to the Red Cross stamps the full
amount of postage must be placed on
all letters and packages; the stamps
are purely for ornamentation.
The stamps should be placed on the
packages in such manner as that
they need not be broken for postal in
spection. When placed over the twine
or so tina they seal the package in
any way, first class postage must be
charged.
