The French attribute the victory In
the battle OF the Marine to the nerv-

out the Germans while themselves
still remaining fresh enough to de-

SUING THE coal TRUST.

- new suit by the Department of Justice at Wash
ngton to dissolve the anthracite coal trust which has
been prosecuted for several years without the slightest
effect upon the combine, has now been instituted
Begun in the United States District Court in Phila-
deIpha the suit will drag along until it reaches the
United States Supreme Court where it will hang fire
probably for two three years.
And what will the outcome be if the coal trust is
compelled to dissolve? The Standard Oil and to-
bacco trusts also dissolved after prosecution and
merely changed their form of organization In the
cease of Standard Oil the corporation stockholders
were enriched by about $100,000000 and prices were
advanced for the consumer Does the coal pros
secution mean dearer coal?

WHAT THE ROOSEVELT OVATION MEANS

Viewed in its political aspects the remarkable re-
ception given to Theodore Roosevelt at Washington
yesterday was of extraordinary significance And II
was entirely unlocked for If anybody had imagined
that defeat in 1912 and long absence from the country
had diminished popular interest in Roosevelt he was
lundeceved by what occurred in Washington yester-
: day
For this was no organized demonstration There
rad been no committee of arrangements and no call
upon the public, 1t purely spontaneous In any
other city but Washington such an ovation to public
man would have less significance, for Washington is
normally Indifferent and seldom shows enthusiasm 1t
us bureaucratic city. and just now the prevailing
tone is Democratic That such event should occur
there is almost without precedent.
- There is not an absorbing popular interest IN
Roosevelts newly-discovered Brazilian river. Few
really care whether such thing exists If an ordinary
traveller or geographer had come TO Washington to
tell of the discovery he would have come like all other
visitors and perhaps had scant audience. The in
terest shown was personal and political. And now
ilhe politicians are asking what it means.

SAME OLD SHAMROCK STORY.

Now that Sir Thomas Upton has launched his
Shamrock " it will soon go into commission and
take its trial spins. It will be remembered that all
of the chaengers for the Americas Cup the race
in advance. This especially true of the three
Shamrocks that preceded the present boat And the
victories we're won the trial meets in British waters
Apart from the confident declarations of Sir
Thomas we had the testimony of British and even
American experts in each instance that the challenger
was doing truly marvellous stunts in her trials and
showing qualities that ouclassed anything in Ameri-
can waters. We must therefore be prepared for a
recrudescence of this eabled talk.
In fact, it has already begun: She is an out-and-
out racer" and Everything has been sacrificed to
secure speed" says commentator There will
soon be the old familiar chorus, followed by the now
familiar story of the Shamrock outdistanced by a
much faster American yacht,

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
MAY 27 s*n@.
Julia Ward Howe, Amelia Bloomer
coDyrgh
By MARY MARSHALL

Mrs. Bloomer became actively inter-
ested in the temperance movement,
which was then something of a now
city in this country, and in studying
the conditions of temperance in New
York State her attention was draws
to the much needed reform in the con-
ditions of women in law and in indus
try. She began to air her views on
these subjects in the columns of her
husbands paper, and when she added
to her various proposed reforms that
of a new garment for women modelled
on the Turkish women's trousers she
Immediately found herself famous.
Mrs. Bloomer was not the first one
to wear this new costume. That honor
belonged to Elizabeth Smith Miller.
However after several years Mrs.
Bloomer, Susan B. Anthony and the
Rev. Antoinette Brown started on a
lecture tour of New York State, and
each one went forth clad in the new
costume. There was little response on
the part of other women to this new
dress, but every one was interested.
And so the name Bloomer will be re-
membered as the name of particu-
lar style of dress long after people
have forgotten the work done by Mrs
Bloomer and Susan B. Anthony.
