port of the committee on resolutions of
the National Rivers and Harbors Con
gress, which recommended II bond issue
of S500OO00O0 to provide for extensive
waterway improvements, including the
questionable Mississippi valley project
the committee of the Milwaukee Cham
Der of Commerce has acquitted itself IN
harmony with public sentiment in re-
gard to the Over-enthusastic movement
Five hundred millions of dollars IS

cured more readily than many of the
projects now mooted in the hope OF
securing n chunk of the proposed big
waterways loan could be carried TO sue

The Milwaukee delegates to the CON

ments should be undertaken piecemeal.
as the necessity for them develops. and
that the money to meet their cost should

This has been the course from the be-
ginning, and it has been satisfactory to
all concerned. The Great Lakes ana
the Atlantic and Pacific coast harbors
have been improved in accordance with
the demands of the times, and money
will be ready as fast as it is required

The Greedy Pullman System.

The investigation of Pullman car COM
pany matters by the Interstate Com
mesce commission has brought into con
spic relief the selfishness and AFRO
gance Of the policy of that corporation
in its dealings with the public.
One of the petty practices Of the conf
pany is that of exacting the same price
for an upper berth as for a lower berth.
though the upper berth is objectionable
TO all women travellers and 10 most men.
1t is difficult to get into aud to get
out Of il is uncomfortable 10 dress in:
it is subject to drafts, and is invaded
by the light AT hours when the lower
berths can be made AS dark as their
occupants desire 10 the average WON
an the upper berth is not worth more
than half the price Of a lower berth
to the average man there should be 81
discount of at least one-thrd on the uli-
per berth to make its cost seem 10 CORE
spOBd with its relative value But the
company stubbornly holds all at the
same price and lets the public fret
Another nuisance Of the Pullman cars
is the necessity of tipping the porter.
The passenger pays enough to the com
pany 10 get the poTter's service free.
General Manager Dean had GOODNESS
enough TO say ut the inquiry by the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
he thought sel6shness was At the bot
tom Of tipping on the cars-"the selfish
ness Of persons who desire better service
than their fellows and are willing ia
pay for it" But when the inquiry had
proceeded Il little further the fact came
ont that the wages which the Pullman
porters receive are SO month and that
ont Of Jhis they must furnish their own
meals
Wherever the tipping evil is worst the
employer Of the tip-cxacting servant is
likely to be largely responsible. II is
so in many hotels and restaurants. II il
manifestly so on tire Pullman cars. The
Pullman company cvacts high charge
from its patrons. aud yet cputrjves con
ditions under which they are forced 70

A Revolutionary invention.

4 new gun torpedo invented 10y Lieut..
Cleland Davis, of the United States
navy, has been successfully tested ut
Fort Strong. in Boston harhor. The new
mechanism of war is styled a gun tor
pedo. because il discharges the torpedo
proper after il has struck and perforated
a ship and thus drives its charge of eN-
plosive farther into the ytals OF the
stricken craft In referring to the sue
cessful demonstration Of the new tor
pedos ability to do what has been
claimed fer il, Lieut.. Davis says his
invention will enhance the value of sub
marine attack as conducted by torpedo
boats destr0yers and submarines, and
change in the construction of battlcships,
making it necessary to cover their bot
toms with armor-plating.
If the bottoms Of battlcships have
been made vulnerable TO attack 10y the
Davis invention, there will be revolu-
ton in naval construction that will make
many costly vessels obsolete. Armor
plating on ships bottom would greatly
increase the weight Of her hull, and com
pei designers To dispense with every
pound Of top-weight that can possibly he
discarded. Ships will be huge gun pint
forms beneath which the quarters for
officers and crews will be arranged he
hind the armor-pated top-Sides, shielding
the power plant. which will have to be
reduced in weight also, as far as possible.
New problems will thus be brought for
ward for solution, and the nations which
have been behind in the race for sea
power will have an advantage in not be-
ing compelled to sacrifice costly ships
that have become useless to large eX-
tent

ENGLISH ExTRAvAGANcE.
Women of All Glasses Said to Spend To

y dozen years ago the simplicity If
dress, not to say tastelessness. of the
average English woman was SO marked
that she was held up before the women
of the whole world either as a model of
unobtrusiveneSs or hideousness. One
served the same purpose as the other,
for underlying both was the fact that
English women expended less money Oh
dress than others.
The BRIDESMAIDS wife could never by
any chance escape detection. Her clothes
gave her away. The Shopgrl paid no
attention whatever to dress SO long as
she was warmly clad in the winter and
had white cotton dress or two in the
summer. AS for the factory girl, she WAS
completely satisfied if she had plenty OF
feathers testiek in the front of her great
hat.
What has happened in the meantime
TO English women? asks the London
correspondent Of Town and Country
They have developed tendency in dress
which has made them conspicuously
eager for self-adornment and increased
their spending capacity tenfold

Dangers of African Hunting.

President Roosevelt's vacation in
Africa bids fair to be a long one if sig
nificance is to be attached to the fact
that he has applied for a hunting per
nit good in the African possessions of
Belgium during the year 1909. The per
nit will authorize the shooting of small
game as well as large.
Hunting large game in Africa is a
dangerous occupation. The rhinoceros
and the hippopotamus are huge beasts
with hides from which bullets some
times glance, and, instead of being dis
patched, frequently are only inceuSCd
when penetrated by a ball. The speed
and activity of the black rhinoceros
when enraged are said to be extraOrdi-
nary and many hunters have reported
him vindictive and ferOcious. The lion
of the jungle is no gentle creature wheE
wounded or brought to bay. Gorillas
also figure among African big game, and
when wounded or cornered make a ter
rible fight.
But j. o. Thompson of Richmond,
Indiana, who has had experience Of
hunting in Africa, and who has taken
the trouble to 90 to Washington for the
purpose of imparting that experience ia
the President says that the greatest
danger in African hunting is not from
tusks or claws of powerful beasts,
however dangerous those primitive
weapons of aggression may be; the
greatest danger in Africa, Mr.. Thomp-
son AYERS, is to be apprehended from
the bites of poisonous bugs and insects
which poison the blood and produce
many terrible forms of disease. some Of
which resist medical treatment
The President does not intend to neg
lpct Mr.. Thompson's warning. After the
interview with his Indiana fellow sports

what he had said The President means
to study up on African insects at his lei
