BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR
June is.
CUSHMAN KELLOGG DAVIS.

| Cushman Kellogg Davis, who, as
chairman of the senate committee or
| foreign relations, reported the reso-
luton which practically declared wal
again Spain, was born in Henderson
| N. Y, II years ago today. AS legisla-
tor, statesman and soldier he wor
wide renown and died, full of years
and honors, in st. Paul, on November
q, 1900.
Senator Davis secured his formal ed
ucation at the University of Michigan
graduating from the famous Ann Ar
Dor institution of learning in 1857. He
was admitted to the bar and began
practice as a lawyer, but when the
civil war broke cut he was among the
first to enlist. His career as SOL
der was one of bravery and devotion
to the cause, although not marked
by any special brillfance
When the North and South settled
their troubles and peace once more re-
stored, Davis listened to the sage ad-
vice, go West, young man. and set
tied in Minnesota. He resumed the
practice of law in st. Paul and was
state as a coming man. He followed
the part which many other great
statesmen have taken-state legislator,
United States district attorney, COVER
nor and United States senator. He was
a staunch republican in politics.
When the Main was blown UP in
Havana harbor, he was among those
who counseled peace and patience, but
when the national spirit famed war
like over the land demanding revenge
upon the naughty Dons mad the I'M
leashing of the dogs of war, Davis was
| among the first to see that the impend-
ing struggle was inevitable. The reso-
luton which he wrote, as chairman of
senate committee, practically
amounted to a declaration of war
against Spain, and made the name of
| the Minnesota statesman famous
| throughout the country.
His last notable appearance in the
! limeliSht was as member of the
peace commission which negotiated
tAe treaty between Spain and the
! United States in 1898. Thus he played
a prominent part in both the beginning
and the ending of the war.

A Different Kind.

P1TTSBURG. Pa, June 16.-Ac-
cording to Professor John A. Bras
hear, an Allegheny astronomer. to-
morrow's eclipse Of the sun will be to-
tally unlike any other recorded in the
history of skygazing. He says:
The eclipse will be of a very in,
teresting character from the fact that
for a few seconds it will be annular
eclipse, then change to a total eclipse
then back to an annular eclipse for
the second time / cannot find record
of such an occurrence In any history
of astronomy, although we have re-
cords of total eclipses for 400 eyars
and of total eclipses for thousands of
years. The sclipse as partial
phase of greater or lesser mag
nitude will sweep over the North
American continent from the north
decreasing in size as it passes through
Canada and the states"

PRICES AT TIMES REcEDE UNDER
REALizATIoNs, BUT GENERAL
TONE is FIRM.
Steady Condition Due to the General
Improvement In All Business,
Says Henry CIews.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-(Special)-
The stock market continues under
strong control. Prices at times receded
| under realizations, but the general un-
dertone remains firm. This is owing
to the rising tide of confidence. If IT
be asked upon what this new conf
dence is based, it must be ansW red
that it is due to the general improve
ment in business, together with less
ened opposition towards corporations,
which, with one or two notable ex-
ceptions, are conducting themselves

The iron trade continues to lead in
kinds of steel products were placed in
May. and the month of June promises
to be- also a very active month, so far
as regards the receipt of new orders.
The spectacular rise in Steel stocks
is much more due to this reason than
to effors for their listing in Paris.
The latter merely indicates a desire to
provide a world wide market for these
securities, which are already scattered
all over Europe. Fully 80 per cent
of the United States Steel company's
productive capacity is nov supposed to
be employed; and as tine company's
expenditures out of earnings for the
Gary plant and other improvements
have about reached their elimination,
the impression gains that larger pro-
portion of profits will hereafter be
applicable to dividends hence the
strength of the common stock. The
activity in Southern Pacific was also a
feature, proving that the big men are
still active in the market and engaged
in its support. In fact, all indica
ers are interested in preventing any
important reaction from present high

are inclined to part with good stocks =,

CHARMING BELTS
FOR SUMMER FROcKS

Among the new belts winch are
shown by the shops are those OF white
linen betting, the soft kind. with the
ouaintest little Dutch scenes in Delft
blue.
There are windmills in blue, blue
COWS and blue Dutch girls carrying
pals of blue milk.
Cretonne belts with the figures
stamped in blue are to be had, and
these are quite charming. They are
finished at the edges with narrow
piping of Delft blue linen, and have
pearl buckles.
Belts of plain white linen may be
made very fetching by adding the blue
Dutch landscapes of embroidery IN the
coarse darning stitch.
Any girl who is clever with brush
and colors could add distinctive touch
to a white MORE belt by hand painting
it in the delicate tone of blue made ia

few moments ago.
And it occurred to me that my little
niece had all unwittingly put into

people.

they never like the side of the door
they are on.
There are almost always enoug.

and look for them instead of sitting
down in front of the door and whining
to have it opened. Like as not you
would be whining just as hard in front
of some other door or even on the
other side of the Same after you had
been there a little while.
Maybe you think you're a special case
and that there isn't anything at all on
your side of your particular door that
could possibly make anyone happy.
Listen, then, to a very old fable.
There was once a king who was very
i'll and after a consultation his doctors
all agreed that nothing could make him
well except to wear the shirt of per-
fectly happy man. Thousands of cour-
iers were at once sent to find such
man. All the rich and famous men in
the kingdom, all those who had spe-
cial reasons to be happy were seen,
but when the question, Are you per-
fectly happy?" was put, they all owned

.GERMANl'S NAVY
OFFENSIVE POWER
Conservative Journal Unfavorably Com :
pares Kaiser's Fleet With
Those of Other World
Powers.

BERLIN, June 16.-Hitherto the
German newspapers have been careful
to inform the world that the new Ger
man fleet is intended to serve only de-
fensive purposes. The Post, however,
now declares openly that "a feet
which is to fulfill its aim must also
have offensive power"
The Conservative journal claims
that nation whose population in
souls must pursue a weltpolitik, but it
chidss Chauvinists for imagining that
enough to hew out a world for our
selves"
A comparison of the worlds ma :
vies shows, it states, that with her
33 protected cruisers, with total dis
placement of 117,4O0 tons, Germany
occupies second place; that with her
"a battleships, she takes third place,
and that with her 12S torpedo boats
she takes third place. With her eight
armored cruisers, however, she holds
only fifth place among the maritime
powers.
The Post deplores the fact, therefore,
that not even the modest navy act is
being fully carried out owing to lack
of funds, and urges that it is the duty
of the German people, and a serious
and almost sacred duty of the German
navy league, to influence the govern
ment and the reichstag to fulfill their
duty to the Fatherland by providing
in the shortest possible time a naval
armament such as Germany's position
in the world and her extensive eco
nomic interests demand.
''The excuse" it adds, lis vain that
our finances will not permit the more
rapid construction of our fleet. Our
monetary precarious financial position
is not produced by lack of means. but
solely by a short-sighter party policy
which cannot discover the method to
transferring the means to the imperial
exchequer"

PICTURE HAT FOR

The classical large hat that never

this summer for large functions ano
ceremonious occasions.

quet of ostrich tips, set far back to the
left side and at the back.
Instead of the tips, the long, lama
zone" is sometimes USED, but the tips
are the newest and smarteSt.
More science goes to the placing OF
these feathers than might be imagined
The balance of the silhouette depends
greatly on the trimming of the hat, and
it is her understanding of this principle
that makes the Partisan milliner SO

While the crop outlook is not all
that might be desired, it shows i'm
provement and presents nothing to
occasion alarm. 1t is quite possible, If
not probable, that We shall have as
large a cotton crop this year as last
ysar, in spite of the agitation for de
in raising cotton at present prices, and
cotton is the most important crop i'll
balance, the outlook in this respect is
entirely satisfactory Whatever short
age there may be in wheat will be more
than compensated for by the large in
crease in corn acreage. If average
conditions prevail we should produce
a record-breaking corn crop. AS this
crop exceeds in value any other two
crops combined, and farmers are Sc
curing very profitable prices for this
cereal, it is reasonable to hope for an
other profitable harvest Wheat is, of
course, a very profitable crop at the
present figures; though it is not with
out significance that the present high
price of -four has so checked consump-
ton as to cause supplies to accumulate
and force price cutting among the
mills. The fruit crops are not in as
good condition as last year, and all
crops combined are officially stated to
be four points below last year, but
eight points above the year before.
With our Industrial and agricultural
situations both in such promising con-
ditiOn, it is not surprising that conf
dence is growing, and already run
ming into a strong degree of optimism.
The dangers that once more confront
us are those of overconfidence, ex
cessive speculation and the fostering
of unsound and illegitimate enterprises
all of which are stimulated to an I'M
wholesome d3gree by an excessive sup
ply Oh dDiOIHldlly cheap money. L lie
great expansion in loans shows upon
what an extensive scale speculation is
now being conducted by big opera |
tors
No immc date change is anticipated |
in the monetary outlook. Funds are |
very plentiful at low rates, the latter |
being likely to continue for at least |
another two or three months. Loans |
are lowering about record breaking |
figures, indicating unusual speculative
demands. The end of cheap money,
however, is already in sight, and will
begin as soon as crop and business
demands assert themselves more posi-
lively. This will probably not appear
within another two or three months
Then We may look for advancing

NEW COARSE LINEN
FOR SUMMER SUITS

The shops have fortunately gotten
far away from the cheap, glazed linen
suit of some seasons ago. The useful
ness of the coarse, undressed linen
that does not crack and wrinkle has
been found out.
This material will take the highest
place for the ordinary coat suits and
one piece frocks of the day. The new
colors are quite enchanting in it. The
fashionable ones are purple, mulberry,
Copenhagen blue, bronze and dull
green
These make serviceable suits and
serve better than one-piece frocks for
street and train wear. They give the
chance to renew and freshen ones
bIouses, which cannot be done in one
piece frock.
The styles in these dull linen suits
are quite simple. When they become
ornate they lose their effectiveness.
They should be severely plain and tall
ord with seven-g ored or circular skirt
The tight-fitting yoke, cut round or in
points, may be used if ones figure can
stand it, The coat is cut to the knees
or half way between knees and hips, is
single breasted, fastened with colOred
bone buttons and has fiat pockets on
