Rome. Sept. l3.--An energetic cru
sade has been started by the Vatican
against the wearing of tight skirts
and exaggerated decollete, which
have become the vogue in Italian so
ciety. 1t is complained that so out
rageous are some OF the garments
worn by women worshppers at mass
that the faithful are distracted from
their prayers thereby. Throughout
Italy the clergy are preaching against
what they term indecent foibles.

SENTINEL CHANGES HANDS

With this issue I relinquish the ownership of The Sentinel to Il. F. Dawes, a recent conner from the East, for whom l bespeak the con- tinued patronage of the people ot this region.
 The two years 1 have spent in Wrangell have been very satlstac- tory as far as the financial end IS concerned, and 1 have met some pe- ople here, the memory of whose friendship I shall carry with me through life wherever fortune may direct my footsteps. With some, I have not at all times agreed, but trust that whatever differences have ex sted, have been honest differ ences, differences of opinion which exist wherever men try to do their own thinking. But this do say, that if 1t had to be done again, the course pursued would be the same.

 Wrangell is good town viewed from a newspaperman's standpoint. It's merchants are good advertisers and its people are loyal supporters of a paper. My successor s eXpe- rience as a newspaperman is limi- ted but he is going to give you a good paper, and trust that you will do your share toward that end.

Another English writer in describing the pres
ident is still more realistic than his countyman
when he says:
ITO say that he Is ugly is nothing; to add that
his figure is grotesque is to convey no adequate
impression. Fancy q many six feet high, and
then out of proportion; with long bony arms and
legs, which somehow seem to be always In the
way; with great rugged, furrowed hands, which
grasp you like wise when shaking yours; with

furrowed. wrinkled and indented, as though It
had been SCARED by vitriol; high, narrow fore

bright dreamy eyes that seem to gaze through
you without looking at you; a few irregular
blotches of black bristly hair in the place where
beard and whiskers ought to grow; a close set,
thin Tipped. stern mouth, with two rows Of large
white teeth, and a nose and ears which have
been taken by mistake from q head twice the

Of strength, physical well as moral and q
strange look OF dignity coupled with all this gro
tesqueness. and you will have the impression left
upon me by Abraham Lincoln"
Ward Lamon, who knew him intimately, goes
more into details. He says: Mr.. Lincoln was
about six feet four inches high, the length Of his
