his enemies for using information obtained
through the "convivial indiscretion' Of
his guest, but replied that the result JUS
titled his action. He intimated that there
was no law Of hospitality which would
forbid host from exposing treachery to
the cause to which he had pledged his
life and his sacred honor. The breaking
up of this tremendous plot to overthrow
Washington, and perhaps the cause OF the
colonies. was the turning point in the
great struggle for independence. If the
Earl of Stirling had not dared deliber-
ately to violate we'll established rules of
conduct the war fDr freedom might have
come to a sudden and inglorious end.

At the battle OF Monmouth none rem
dered greater service than Mad Anthony
Wayne and Lord Stirling in combating the
treachery of Lee. In another fierce and
bloody fight the battle of Long Island, it
was Stirling and handful of his brave
soldiers who threw themselves upon the
cleaning fence of Hessian bayonets and
sabers and held the mercenaries in check
until the main body of the American
troops had escaped. Washington and some
of his officers were watching the battle
from a hill nearby. He supposed that
Lord Stirling seeing resistance would be
useless, would surrender at once But
when Stirling, with his little troop. IN
hesitatingly attacked Corvallis army to
engage his attention and cover the re-
treat Washington cried out: Good God.
What brave fellows l must this day lose"
Stirling was captured by the British and
remained a prisoner on Lord Howe's flag
ship until he was exchanged some weeks
later.
From the very beginning of the war the
Earl of Stirling was a brilliant and COM
manding figure. In January, 1176, he bold
ly attacked a British man-of-war in New
York bay, laden with stores and pro-
visions for the royal troops at Boston,
and carried 1t into port at Perth Amboy.
For this bold feat he received one of the
earliest votes of thanks from the Cont
mental Congress and an appointment as
brigadier general. He succeeded Lee in
command of New York and fortified the
harbor, building Forts Washington and
Lee on opposite sides of the river above
the city. Though these ancient fortifca-
lions are now obliterated their names are
still attached to the localities where they
stood.

a Bleriot monoplane OF the latest pat

SUITABLE CLOTHING FOR HOT

American Medicine thinks 1t about time that we white folks who live in lands tropical for a part or the whole of the year gain for ourselves by the cheap and easy eXpedient of wearing dark colored underciothing the prOtec- tion which nature gives to the natives of such regions by heavily pigmenting their skins
 The possibility of doing this. as we'll as the need for it. was suggested some fifteen years ago by Colonel C. F. Woodruff of our army medical corps The idea being new, of course it was received with the derision which the unfamiliar always gets from authority. but it has since been accepted by the British and French military experts and though our own still view it askance and few doctors have though much about it one way or another. the public seems to have heard that dark under clothing is good wear for hot weather and the sales thereof are steadily increasing. In this matter, as more than once before in like matters. as American Medicine admits, Tt be- gins to look as though the lay public will lead and the medical profession follow New York Times

BIRDS SACRIFICE TO VANITY.
Figures Regarding Slaughter for
 Feather Trade Are Startling.

London. July.-Startling figures regarding the slaughter of birds for the Paris and London millinery mar kets are given by Mir. James Buckland.
 Bird. life,' said Mir. Buckland in an address before the Selborne society, ''is being reduced at an alarming rate by the traffic in feathers and the kill ing in the breeding season. when feathers have full luster, smoothness and elasticity.
 During 1898, 1.53S.73S egrets were killed in n-Venezuela for their plumes. and in 1908 the number had fallen to 257.916-the effect of ten years slaughter. The same thing is happen ing in every country where the white herons is found.

 Besides the egret, 10,612 pounds weight of other plumageN is exported from Ciudad Bolivar.

LINKS OF THE BOHEMIAN CLUB
Ex- President of San Francisco Organi-
 ration Tells of Its Doings.

San Francisco, which some of its citizens say is much nearer Paris than New York, which may be taken in two ways. likes things Bohemian and it has a Bohemian club. of which mention sometimes creeps into the public prints. An ex-president of the Bohemian club was cOrralled at the Hotel Wolcott Saturday and after some persuasion consented to tell what the Bohemians of San Francisco really are.
 Vanderlyn Stone is the eX-president Mir. Stone doesn't look like a Bohemi- an Bohemian nor Parisian Bohemian nor the New York variety which af fleets table d'hotes where the wine is thrown in for 8 cents. He is busi- ness. man, being in the light fixture business and looks prosperous.

"Drinks?" inquired the reporter thirstily
 No. jinks-j-i-nk-s.
 High jinks?"
 Well, that depends. The jinks take place in the summer and last two weeks. Then the members go away from San Francisco in a bunch with their families and live in tents for two weeks. Sometimes there are as many as six hundred or seven hundred persons involved. We go out seventy five miles to Bohemia, a place founded by the club.

 And Is there any superstition or tra- dltion connected with the full moon in this case?"
 No. in the old days they chose the full moon because it was the cheapest way of lighting the camp. Everybody lives in a tent, and there is a fine swimming hole in the Russian river. On the preserve are various wild ani- mals, but no shooting is allowed.
 Some of the members write the book of an opera. perhaps. and others the music. I can't exactly describe the entertainment there is. It is differ ent from one of the Lambs gambols and has to be seen to be thoroughly appreciated"

A Boy Missing and Three Tramps Sup

Portland. Ore, July 1.-Two meT are dead, one is known to be missing and three others, tramps. may have lost their-lives in the fire which early today devastated the great 1mpithea- ter that lies between Washington, Fay lar, Champman and Twentieth streets The property loss may reach $500 000 perhaps a third of which is covered by insurance.
 Those who are known to have lost their lives are: John Morgan, a plumb CT by trade, who worked nights in one of the livery stables in the exposition building. and F. R Rice, foreman of the United Carriage company. George Fee, a youth of 19, is missing. The origin of the fire is as much a mystery as it was when the flames broke out The supposition is that it was caused by an explosion of gasoline in an au- tomobile establishment.

CHINATOWN MAYOR SAYS
 YU WIN DIDN'T GAMBLE
Of Course They Play Little Games for Cigars, But They Are Not Nearly as Vicious as American
 Poker.

China Dick, mayor of Chinatown, commented last night on the arrest and conviction of Yu Win for gambling in the following words:
 ''Yu Win is not a gambler-hc some time lose He does not run gambling house but sometime he play a little casino or Chinese domino. There is no money on table. He never play fan tan but just domino and casino with he friends Maybe Yu Win lose, then he have to buy friend cigar and after that they play some more
 Yesterday Yu Win came to me and he say, Dick, ] been arrest for gam bling. what l do?' You gamble? say coy-lille Never say Yu Win. I just play domino, win two cigar and jar Chinese fruit, but I think man who lost complain that I gamble
 Then l say, 'Yu Win, you lose. When judge ask you guilty or maybe not you say, Your exceptional honor. I am guilty" then maybe he charge you only few yen whereas you say not he charge you many more yen
 .'Yu Win follow my sage advice. He say Guilty" and his honor charge him fifty yen which he pay. But Yu Win does not gamble I, mayor of China town, do not allow gambling. These games we play are innocent as Sunday schools and we have nothing so de- praying as this game American man play called poker"

AUTO DRIVERS WANT
 SPEED LIMIT CHANGED
They Say Ten Miles an Hour is Un-
 reasonably Slow.

Now that the police have gone after the violatOrs of the speed limit among the chauffeurs and drivers of motorcycles, systematically, having a motorcycle policeman to help them, a protest is going up from some of the aforesaid drivers There is no protest against a speed law or its enforce ment. but the protest is against the limits provided by the speed ordinance. So long as the ordinance was not en- forced they did not care but they do not want it enforced against one and not against another and the contention in the arrest of every motor driy in the city. even when he is in no way a menace to the public
 All of which is designed to convey the idea that the speed limits provided are ridiculous and as they are now fixed ought not to be enforced. The present limit is ten miles an hour in the center of the city and twelve in the suburbs. a rate of speed hat IS exceeded daily by the driver of nearly every delivery wagon in the city, by the street cars, by bicycles and that in fact is only twice as fast as the aver age man walks when going about his business. Those v;ho have been ar rested heretofore for exceeding ten miles an hour have usually been going faster than twenty miles and some of

HE osEYED HIS WIFE.

q couldn't come here when my wife told me to go to the country" was what Olaf Larson of Denver told the judge who fined him for ignoring a summons to serve as juror. Didn't the sheriff tell you to come here?' asked the judge. Yes. he told me to come here at 10 o'clock, but when got home I found a letter from my wife telling me to come to the country, and I had to go," was the reply. The much surprised Larson paid his fine of $10 with the persistent remark, How could I come when she told me to go to the country" Probably that judge has lost two votes.

Fresno. July 14.-Leaving a stag dinner at midnight. tonight, the eve of his wedding. Edward T.

Filter was to have been married to Miss Mary Brett of Dnuba, daughter of pr. T. H Brett, and her uncle Rev Davis F. Brett. pastor of the Christian church at Salem, oregon, had arrived to per form the ceremony.

| them thirty miles an hour. ard un- | doubtedly should have been penalized In the meantime. everybody has beer | going along at better than ten miles and there was no complaint
 Few people appreciate just how slow ten miles an hour is and if one will in a well regulated auto with a good speedometer and take a trial spin at
 exactly ten miles an hour he will find that he seems to be a little more than l crawling. It is expected by reasonable persons that a motor vehicle will tray el faster than a delivery horse both because they are built for speed and
 because they are much more easily
 controlled A chauffeur who knows ihs
 business, going at even twenty miles an hour can stop in less space than
 driver can stop his horse going at eight miles.
 There are men of undoubted verac- 1 ity and a respected Knowledge of mechanics who assert that there are numerous machines in this town so geared that they cannot be driven safely at as low a speed as ten miles. though they can well be handled at twelve or fifteen miles. and an auto
 mobile at fifteen miles an hour is
 safer than a buggy at eight miles an hour.
 The suggestion made by these pro
 testants is that if the limit were
 made at say twelve miles an hour for
 few blocks in the center of the city and fifteen or eighteen miles an hour
 in the suburbs, there would be reason
 fin it and it could and should be en-
 forced. And the rules for keeping on
 the right hand side and for slowing
 down in turning corners could and should be rigidly enforced, but actu ally enforcing a ten mile rule would
 be unreasonable and is a constant
 temptation to every motor driver to violate it. There would be violations enough to keep the police busy even then. but under the present ordinance if the drivers were all of supersensi- tive conscience almost every chauf- feur in the city would walk mp to the captains office today and plead guilty to breaking the law.

INDIANAPOLIS AS IT IS.

Indianapolis is one of the Cities of the Plain. It is as nearly in the cen ter of Indiana as it could be placed without measuring. The streets are wide and the sky is dark with soft coal smoke. It is a cousin of Chi cago and is shamelessly proud of the relationship.
 Yellow trolley cars built of steel ramify in every direction and some dark green ones venture reckIessly to distant Fort Wayne and to Columbus, where the Ohio penitentiary thrives The trolleys are bigger, better. cleaner and faster than anything of the kind in the East and are run to suit public convenience and not so as to keep folks from meeting trains, as Mir MelIen manages his, for example.
 The hotel spittoons are built two stories high to accommodate the ex- pectorations of the gentlemen from Kentucky and Tennessee, who are numerous visitors. The Claypool hotel has d barroom on each corner, so that guests cannot go astray
 Sightseeing in the town begins and ends with a view of the Soldiers mon ument. which is tribute to all the fighters from George Rogers Clark and Tippecanoe down. It was sculpt by German and the effect is leu tonic. The figure of Liberty with torch. that tips the top. suggests a plump German domestic guiding her self to the attic with q lighted tallow candle.
