ENGLAND AGHAST AT
MIXED BATHING

LONDON, Sept. 9.-Conservative
England is aghast at the mixed bath
ing at night at some of the popular
seaside resorts, and the papers are
filled with protests from Mortified
readers.
At Blackpool the bathing vans are
in use until midnight and later, and
young ladies wade and paddle and dis
port themselves under the stars with
out restraint. Greatly daring, some of
the ladies staying at the boarding
houses on the promenade have got
into their bathing clothes in the apart
ments and sprinted across the prone
made to the water, returning from the
midnight bath the same way Very
proper people have put their hands
before their eyes and gone home TO
write letters to the papers. Others
have simply admired and waited for
more. For it must be remembered
that the Blackpool crowds do not go
early to bed, and little exhibition of
maidenly activity of this sort on the
promenade are always able to COM
mand a most appreciative audience.
Between II o'clock and midnight
scores of bathers may be seen nightly
between Manchester terrace and Vic
toria pier, and the majority of these
are ladies', many of whom do the
sprint across the promenade without
apology to the prophecies. And the
Blackpool proprieties can be fierce in
anger, as the following communica-
ton to the Daily Dispatch shows:
In the interests of decency and

planters at the rate of from $40 to
$50 per month per head. The planters
have to feed and lodge them.
The slave owners own from 400 to
1000 negroes, hence the profit to the
owners is enormous. The number is
added to by those born in bondage.
Apparently the blacks are subjected
to work of the hardest kind.
Capital enjoins the government i'm
mediately to stop such unc,vilized
traffic.
Mossamedees is a seaport in the
southern district of Angola. 1t is
built on a fiat, sandy beach, in re-
gion which is desert for about seven
ty miles inland. Benguella, where the
traders are alleged to purchase the
slaves, is also a seaport in Angola,
where the exports are chiefly rubber
and ivory.

morality says the correspondent, 1T
is to be hoped that the Blackpool au-
thorities will at once put stop to
the night bathing as practised in the
last few nights Last night, between
1915 and 11:45, l counted a score OF
young girls who deliberately left the
boarding houses and went across the
parade in bathing costumes covered
only by light cloak, which from the
way it was worn, the wearers would
evidently rather not be bothered
with.
rs such conduct decent or moral?
On the part of irresponsible young
ladies it must inevitably lead to a
great public evil. Unfortunately
Blackpool is inclined to look on these
things with an indulgent eye, but sure
ly there should be no indulgence for
anything tending to indecency and i'm
morality, and in plain terms that is
the obvious tendency of this midnight
bathing"
This is simply sample of a score
of such letters.
This rather hysterical cutlery has
naturally enough provoked the resent
ment of the seaside girls and led them
scornfully to describe their critics as
"prudes" and "purists." Metaphor
cally speaking, the nymphs of the
night don an armor of virtue and tel
the would-be Teformers that thai
alone would be quite sufficient safe
guard for the prophecies if there were
nothing more. OF course, that is
merely revoking a hypothetical situa
ton which not even the most ardent
purist would wait to discuss.

BUILDS BRIDGE FOR PEOPLE

MANILA, Sept. st has long been
the custom in the Annoy part of China
for returning Chinese who have be-
come wealthy during their absence
abroad to construct, at their own ex-
pense, some useful public improve
ment in their native city and present
the completed work to the people. One
of these men has recently returned
from the Philippines and, in accord
ance with the custom, has arranged
with a Manila firm to erect a bridge
of reinforced concrete, at an esti.
mated cost of $4,000 Mexican, at
Chaun Chin, his native village.

AMERICAN STUDENT A MODEL


BERLIN, September emperor
William now seldom misses an oppor-
tunity of warning German students
to moderate their drinking habits,
and to adopt rather the American
model of student life. Several days
ago, upon the occasion of presenting
a flag to the gymnasium at Cassel,
where he was prepared for the uni
versity, in order to commemorate his
connection with that school, he made
brief address to the students of the
senior class, advising them, when in
the university, to use less alcohol.
The traditional drinking customs, ne
said, were no longer adapted to a
time in which Germany must strug-
gle for it's position in the world S
markets. Then he praised the alb.
stemious life of American students
and he had often been impressed, he
said, with their ability. German stu.
dents, his majesty repeated in line
with what he has often said to other
student assemblies, must give more
attention to sports of all sorts, includ,
ing fencing and rowing instead Ct
! trying to create new records for the
amount of beer that they can swal
low.

THE LITTLE WHITE DOG.

Little white dog with the meek brown
eyes,
Tell me the boon that most you prize
Would a juicy bone meet your hearts
desire?
Or a cozy rug by blazing fire?
Or a sudden race with a truant cat?
Or a gentle word? or friendly pat?
Is the worn-out ball you have always
near
The dearest of all the things held dear?
Or is the home you left behind
The dream of bliss to your doggish
mind?
But the little white dog just shook his
head
AS if None of these are best he said.
A boys clear whistle came from the
street;
There's wag of the tail and a twinkle
of feet,
And the little white dog did not even
say,
Excuse me, ma'am," as he scampered
away;
But I'm sure as can be his greatest
joy
Is Just to trot behind that boy.

Emil Zimmerman, a German writer
who has recently been travelling in
German East Africa, announces an
important fact bearing upon the
spread of the sleeping sickness in
that colony. Hitherto it had been
supposed that the tseste fly, the
cause of the disease, bred almost ex-
clusively in grassy or lightly wooded
stri S of land bordering on lakes or
rivers, keeping about the paths where
animals come to drink. Hence the
chief method of combating the pest
has hitherto been to cut down the

The Gossip of Europe
Germany Spy-Mad---Kaiser on Ameri-
can Students---England Ag hast
At Mixed Bathing---Slavery
In West Africa

BERLIN, Sept 9.-Germany is spy
mad. especially so since the Morocco
situation developed. Foreigners, espe-
ctally English and Americans, are
watched closely from the time they
enter Germany until they leave.
For the foreigner to show any I'M
usual interest in the military or naval
affairs of the empire is to make of
himself a suspect and the most inno
cent inquiries are liable to lead to
serious results.
A recent incident which occurred
fairly illustrates the point

den, named Courtain, who has served
the state faithfully for thirty years,
was with his family spending his holi.
days at the house of a friend, who is
also in the public service, at Vilseck,
in the upper Palatinate. At the sug
gestion of his host the two of them
made an excursion to the neighbor
hood of the artillery range of Crate
wohr. There they heard that on the
following day important practice with
siege guns was to take place.
AS an old artillerist, Courtain was
much interested in this He decided to
remain over night nd obtained at the
military headquarters a card of ad-
mission TO the range, though his re-
quests for permission to view the
siege gun trials was refused
Sitting the same evening over his
glass of beer at the inn, he got into
conversation with two artillery non
commissioned officers, to whom he
confessed his desire to obtain few
mementos of his visit in the shape of
fragments of splintered shells. He
was told that these were formerly to
be purchased at headquarters, but
were now disposed of wholesale to a
dealer in old iron. At the same time
it was limited that for people in the
position of his interlocutors there
were other ways of getting hold OF
such things.
With his senses sharpened by thirty
years service as a public official, Cour
tain scented danger here, and hastily
declined the suggestion. He retired tC
rest, suspecting nothing, but between
3 and 4 O'Clock in the morning he was
awakened by loud and peremptory
knocking at the door. He opened ant

would be the Calmer climate of Nurem-
burg. But alas, as they stepped out
of the train at their harbor of refuge
they were confronted by a party of
detectives, who insisted on escorting
them to Rathas.
Here they were again thoroughly
searched, and though the wife and
child were allowed to go, Courtain
himself was detained Next morning
he was conveyed in a prison van, with
a CARLOAD of criminals, to the eXamin-
ing Jail, where he spent five days in a
filthy cell, and as many nights in a
dirty bed, where he contracted a skin
disease
At the end Of this period he was at
last informed that one of the non.
CONS, with whom ne had spoken, had
informed against him, stating that he
| had asked the soldier to procure him
an unusued fuse of shrapnel c, and
and that he had also said that he kept
up correspondence with friends in
France and was in pecuniary Difficult,
ties
These facts show how dangerous it
must be for foreigners to show in this
country even the most innocent inter.
est in military matters.

An amusing anecdote is told of the
kaiser's promenades. His majesty was
walking with a couple Of adjutants,
all in naval uniform, along a quiet
road not far from the sea; he was re-
specially saluted by a soldier on duty;
who did not recognize him. The man
said he had orders to allow nobody to
pass, as shooting practice was going
on and there was danger to pedes,
TRANS.
The kaiser thanked him for the
warning and retraced his steps. Go
ing a little distance, however, his maj
esty sat down on the sands ant
watched the practice. After it was
over he asked the officer in charge t.
give the sentry, in his name, a five
mark piece.
