Notable Work Of Colonial Danes.
rom the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelpnid Telegraph.
The Society of Colonial Danes has
done nothing since It's organization, per-
haps, more notable than it's action in
placing a tablet in the rotunda Of the
state capitol at Raleigh, N. c.. to COM
memorate the signing of the Declaration
of independence at Mecklenburg May
20, 1875. This declaration by the hardy
and patriotic people Of North Carolina
antedated the great declaration at
Philadelphia by little more than
year. 1t was an example Of the out
cropping OF the spirit OF revolt in the
colonies. remotely separated from each
other; such, for instance, as the inflam-
matory speech OF Patrick Henry at Will
lamsburg, the keenly analytical Penn
sylvania Farmer papers OF John Dick
inson. the outspoken avowals Of John
others in Massachusetts, and the insur-
rectionary acts OF Philadelphia volun-
tary tea parties AZ q retaliation for
the imposition Of the odious tax. which
prepared the way for the heroic action
taken by the Congress at Philadelphia Of

ence was issued by the Congress the peo-
pie everywhere We're ready for 1t. The
various declarations" and ''proclama-
which had been firing the zeal Of the peo-
pie of the colonies for a year or more
preceding the grand finale in Philadel-
phia, were 30 many stimulating currents
Of aroused opinion setting in toward the
main stream which rose to flood tide in
the city on the Delaware. It is q noble, a
notable and patriotic work the colonial
danes are doing in suitably commemorate
ing these various events so important to
a proper understanding OF the condition
Of affairs in the colonies before the great

Columbia.

An old-fashioned comedy. devoid Of
present-day vulgarty. is THE Wrong
Mr.. Wright" In which the Columbia
Players appeared last night to the de-
light of a capacity audience at the Co.
lumbia Theater. The play was written
by George II. Broadhurst. which Is in it
self an assurance Of hearty laughter, and
the Columbia Players were so cast that
the performance was little short OF ir-
resistible.
The plot Of the play has to do with the
adventures Of stingy millionaire. who,
on learning that a trusted bookkeeper
has decamped with $4,000 decides to
economic. play the role Of detective
himself and follow the culprit In doing
who, believing him to be the absconding
bookkeeper, plays him along in the hope
Of getting a positive clue.
In the meantime the millionaire, who
should have arrived at the age of discre-
tion, begins to feel the joys of life and
an infatuation for the female detective
and as result begins to spend money
his extravaganza 1t further increases the
assurance Of the female detective that
she is on the right trail The climax to
tho fun comes when the female detective
has the millionaire arrested and ON dis
covering her mistake agrees to marry
him to repair the injury.
George w. Barber as Seymour Sites,
who assumes the name of Mr.. Wright, to
pursue his absconding bookkeeper, was
at his best, and furnished an excellent
character study. Stanley James as Way
land Clingstone. "one of the boys of long
ago" gave q laughable impersonation that
was very effective. Miss Nelson. as the
female detective, made a fetching por-
trait, and her Interpretation of her role
was excellent. The remainder Of the

LABOR LEADERS DOUBT
WISDOM OF STRIKES
Opinion in England Regarding
ACCESSIBILITY of WaIkouts
Undergoing Change.

LONDON, July 2-war against the
strike as a weapon for workmen has been
declared by some of the old-t1me labor
leaders Of Great Britain, including men
who have heretofore advocated extreme
ditions.
Phillip Snowden. one Of the cleverest
OF the socialist members Of the house Of
commons. was among the first to sound
the warning that the men were gaining
nothing by continual strikes. Kerr Hardie.
his more extreme colleague. says he Is
more than ever convinced that legislative
action would produce more permanent
results than could be hoped for from
strikes. Reform enacted by the state, he
says, becomes permanent and cannot be
taken away, but concessions won by a
strike during good times might be lost by
a lockout in bad times.
Cites Recent Instance.
Mr.. Hardie instanced the late attempt
of the national strike Of transport work
ers. which dsmally failed, as a case of
how things should not be done.
The union officials are beginning to
realize that trades unionism is not in
healthy state in England at present. Last
year men went on strike against the ad-
vice of their leaders. and gained little or
nothing. This year the officials ordered
the strikes, but the men. following the
more astute leaders, failed to respond.
The fall In the bank balances OF the
unions and the failure in most cases to
secure any appreciable benefits through
strikes have made the men more caL-
tious.

MOVING PICTURES.

The moving picture industry has. gotten to a point where mitch care has to be exercised in the subjects which are shown for the public gaze. The rush for something new has led to cheapening results and the estab- lishment of censors to reject unsuita- ble films which the public, and par ticularly the young, had better not see. It has even gotten to a point where national legislation has become nec- essary to suppress fight pictures through prohibiting interstate trans portation of the films. Much trouble has been caused by the race riots stirred up through the Jeffries- John son pictures and similar trouble might have been expected from the recent fight between Johnson and Flynn. This was because of the subject which is treated and the commercialism which exists in the business. The pictures can cause great harm or great good according to their selection and the subject treated.
 In the way of education the pictures are susceptible of great development. As yet this particularly avenue is in an undeveloped state. It Is for the public to say whether commercialtsm or educational films shall prevail. Moving pictures are proving one of the attractive and cheap forms of en- tertainment throughout the country and with this widespread influence they should be turned to as great good as possible. The government has taken a big step in this direction.

NEW BATHING CAPS.

Initiate the shape of the headgear of the peasant girl of any country having native garb if you wish your next sum- mer's bathing cap to be ultra smart It lis going to be the fad to look pie turesque when in the surf and nat urally this effect must be mainly pro- vfded by the cap.
 If you firmly decline to let your locks get wet, you may have a Nor mandy cap of futed white silk, trim med with big bow of ribbon match ing the shade of your suit and beach cloak Or you may have the Russian peasant girls cap unless you prefer the Norway woman's headdress or the equally elaborate one worn by the maiden of Holland. The shape of these caps perfectly suits the Teutonic type of beauty, but they do not accord well with Latin features and for girls of that strain of blood there is no prettier model in bathing caps than the Italian kerchief of brilliantly striped wash silk or the turban of the mascu- line Turk, which is also a large hand kerchief.
 If you will adopt the cap of the Irish peasant woman of mature years you may dive recklessly, for this perfectly protects the hair when made up in silk rubber cut in circular shape and edged with fiuted frill which stands away becomingly from the head and the face

OPPOSITION TO wARsHIPs.

The effort to secure the annual ad- -dition of two modern vessels to the navy of this country seems to be meeting with peculiar opposition from the democrats. though politics is hard ly the cause of it and how economy under the circumstances can be urged as the reason is difficult to under stand. Ben Tillman seems to be talk ing a prominent part in the opposition and his efforts seem to be entirely from the standpoint that if he cannot get what he wants he will do all pos sible to block other matters. It seems to be a case of delaying other plans to bring about sectional legislation. Senator Tillman is very anxious that the sum of $3OO.O be appropriated for the Charleston, s. C., naval sta
 ton and he is hopeful of getting it by blocking the warship measure un- til he brings the others to his terms.
 This policy is one to be condemned though characteristic of much legisla
 tion. The idea that nothing will be done for the national defense because a certain state interest is not provided for with comfortable 'berths for large number, when the department stands against it. is narrow. The policy of constructing two warships year is not extravagant in comparison with the big expenditures by other coun- tries and it is needed to maintain the position of this country among the na- tions of the world. Peace will be maintained better by strengthening the navy than in any other way.

PAY FOR ENGINEERS.

Much interest is being manifested in the testimony being given before the arbitration commission by the en- gineers in behalf of their demand for an increase in wages. They are a body of men upon whom much responsibil- ity rests and pay in accordance with their responsibility is no more than proper. Good pay should be the way of getting men who will measure up 10 the responsibilities that are de- nanded of them rather than the plac- hng of inexperienced and untrustwor- thy men in charge of engines where the safety of so many lives is con cerned
 It is believed that the matter will receive justhable adjustment from the commission in whose hands the task has been placed. It remains for the engineers to make good their claims. They must show that they are working under unfavorable conditions Some interesting testimony has been given before the commission in which it has been shown that the run of passenger engineers varies between 250 and $50 miles for days work. Testimony shows one who has a run of 2s6 miles. receives s1S6 month or $2,232 a year, while another with a run of 912 miles gets $196 month or s2,352 a year, while others varied from those figures down to S153, s136 and other amounts above S100 a month Spare men testified to receiving S25
 
 worked only every other day. This shows that the engineers are to be classed in the well paid list of em- ployees in which there will be genera satisfaction. More reason for in. creases will have to be shown iron what has already been given.

CARE OF SILK UMBRELLAS.

A silk umbrella seldom receives the proper care, and consequently is usu- ally disappointing in it's wear. A soft silk wears the best, with a carved or natural wood handle, although silver. gold, ivory, Dresden china, etc, are all used. steel frame is lighter to car ry and admits of a closer roll.
 When carrying your umbrella on the street not in use keep it furIed; if hanging in your closet keep it's case on. In fact, it presents a very neat appearance if the case is on when it is carried.
 To furl, grasp the stick in the right hand, shake out the folds, wrap them closely around the stick, beginning at the lower end. and smooth as they are wrapped around the stick, then fasten with the silk band and slip on the silk cover.
 When coming in with wet umbrel- la, stand fl handle down to dry, then wipe off the handle and ferrule and furl the silk sections. If the silk tets a spot on it, remove it with silk rag warm water and soap, Clean q gold or silver handle in warm soap studs rub lip a wooden handle with Il slight ly oily rag,

EXAMPLE IN MULTIPLICATION.

In the hope of further beautifying the city in addition to it's natural and artificial splendor at the present time, there remains plenty to be done by those having the matter in charge. The enthusiasm has not all died out and it was not expected everything could be accomplished in a minute, so that many ideas will be gathered this summer by vacauoners as to how other cities do.
 Western cities. and particularly those along the Pacific coast. are most attractive examples of what can be done with flowers in beautifying a municipality. The Rose society of Ta- coma has determined to make it the greatest rose city in America. and at its second annual rose show recently 100000 freshly grown roses, everyone grown by an amateur gardener, were displayed. The society has systemat- ically fostered the planting and cul- tivation of roses. To assist the rose gardeners free a city gardener was hired this year and all prunings of bushes were saved and under his di- rection redistributed free to home owners for planting as rose slips, by which plan 100000 new rose bushes were started there in the spring. They advertise that roses are given to every visitor and every day the hotels are supplied with roses free for the guests while visitors in many instances are allowed to take all they want.
 If Norwich would carry out this idea in it's Identification it would not only make handsome display but increase its fame in keeping with it's name.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
BARGAINS.

A good deal has been said by nor alizers one way or another by preach CTS and makers of moral books. and others whose joy it is to list virtues and their opposite vices," about the dishonest merchant.
 But what about the dishonest GUS toner?
 And, if the truth were known, is it not the cheating customers that make the cheating merchants?
 The grocer who puts the big straw berries on the top of the box. the milkman who waters milk. the haber- dasher who lies about it's being all wool have become classic.
 In the first place I do not believe such sinners are as common as we im- agine. And in the second place, where they do exist they are but the result of the disposition to cheat on the part of those who buy their goods.
 The desire to get something for noth- ing. to procure goods less than the regular price, in other words to find a bargain" what is 1t when you ana lyze it, but d lurking wish to cheat Why should you not pay for a thing you want what 1t Is worth Why be grddge the middleman his profit?
 There are very honest people. " says Anatole France, "who do moi think they have had bargain unless they have cheated the merchant"
