Straight through from Philadelphia
on several underground routes comes
the information that Charley Doom
is soon to be deposed as manager OF
the Phillies. says Sid Mercer in the
New York Globe. The tip is out that
Pat Moran, veteran catcher and now
coach of the team, has already been
selected by President Baker to sue
coed Doom and that he will be in
charge by the first of next month. The
present standing of the Phillies-who
are seventh in the National League
race-and Dooin's failure to plug the
gan at second base caused by the de-
sertions of Mike Doolan and otto
Knabe, are two of the reasons why
Doom Is "in bad" Discomfort among
the Philadelphia players and President
Bakers belief that Doolan and knape
would not have jumped to the Fed
erals but for grievances against Doom
are among other things blamed on the
red headed manager.

the Portland, is receiving congratula-
tions from her many friends upon her
courage in taking a trip with George
A. Gray, the aviator. Miss Henrick
had a desire to fly in the machine and
arrangements were made with the bird
man to carry her in bis
machine. A representative Iof the
Journal requested the little lady to tell
of the experience. She said: ut was
grand. l enjoyed it immensely. We
were only in the air about a half hour
and the sensation was so new to me,
that | hardly had time TO properly
appreciate it.u Miss Henrick was
asked if she could distinguish the
piers and hotels while in the air.
She said: ITO tell the truth / could
hardlyunderstand anything, the strong
wind bringing such tears to nay eyes.
1 was so excited and new to the situa-
ton that / never thought to look down.
I was satified to look straight ahead
When asked if she would take another
such trip Miss HenTick replied: al
surely would. I think that before Mr..
Gray leaves Wildwood / will request
him to take me along on another trip.

RACES At THE WILDWOOD YACHT CLUB

The first races for the season given by
the Wildwood Yacht Club are to be
pulled off Saturday, Augu 10, 1914,
at 2 o'clock and judging from the list
of entrants the event will be one of the
seasons racing successes. Commodore
Pew has been working all the week on
the perfecting of the classes and the
ladies of the club have likewise been
busily engaged in planning for the
entertainment of the visiting guests.
The prizes that are to be awarded are
made up of cups and nautical in
struments dearly priced by the enthu-
siastic yachtsman. The races are
divided into several classes which in
clude speed boats, semi-speed boats,
cabin cruisers and open boats. In case
there are too many of the latter class
the ever popular open boats will be
placed in two classes. While the rae
ing game along the coast has been any
thing but brisk this year and the adj
vent of new boats has been a matter of
great disappointment among yachts
men, at the same time Wildwood
produces new boat at least, in the
speed craft built by Captain Brewer
for Joe Wheaton, son of Senator Wheat
on. The Wheaton craft is just finish
ed and up to a day or so ago had not
received its christening. This boat
may be quite card In Saturdays races.
However, it looks like about forty to
fifty boats for the event. The ladies
of the club have got busy and planned
dancing and luncheon for the visitors.
The races start at Up. m. and after a
couple of hours of good sport the in
door festivities will commence. Prof.
Domineck, the young gentleman who
has made such a hit with the dancing
at Ottens Hotel, will have charge of
the dance floor. The Wildwood Yacht
club is famed for its hospitality and
the public is invited to come over and
take part in the doings of the day.
There is no entrance fee for boats.
Blanks can be obtained from Commo-
dore J.. A. Pew, H. III. Ottens and
Secretary Arthur N. Ely.

The Style of the Seasons Hats De-
mands Due Attention to 1t.
1t has been some years since women
gave the public a glimpse of their locks
in the streets. But this season one
often sees the entire line Of growth.
The change is in the back Of the hat.
1t no longer rests ON the neck. 1t tits
up rakishly, or the crown is so small
that the sweep of the hair shows from
ear to ear.
So it is well to look to your couture.
1t must be lifted in the back and
drawn away a little from the forehead
and, though the ears are not yet en-
tirely uncovered. there Is a tendency to
tighten the locks over them.
The tangette curl is not becoming to
every woman. so beware of it, unless
you can make it an accessory to
beauty. 1t can age the face and lend
commences to the features, but on
the other hand. If 1t suits you, it is
artistic and coquettish,
OF course you know you can buy
these little side curls and pin them in,
or you can cut a lock Of your own hair,
wet it and press it round into a ring
let, then fasten it to the cheek with a
drop of spirit gum.
All the new coiffures are close to the
head. Sometimes the hair is simply
swirled round with n comb set up and
down in the back.

object it was to rid Russia of our auto
cratic form and replace IT with one
that would g1ye us liberty to teach Che
ignorant. This took me to the fountain
head, st. Petersburg. My father en-
deavored to persuade me to desist, but
l could not bear to remain with tied
hands among a people who were more
like cattle than human beings, yet en-
dowed with a desire to better their
condition.
When | began to work secretly In the
cause of the revolution l entered upon
a life of duplicity. The foundation of
a revolution must necessarily involve
organization, and that could be achiev-
ed only by secret methods, for the
government was aware Of what was
going on and met our secret efforts by
secret efforts of it's own.
My work in st. Petersburg was that
of messenger. Documents, sometimes
printed. sometimes written, sometimes
in plain language. sometimes in cipher,
must be constantly conveyed from one
point to another. An ordinary messen-
ger, such as is used at telegraph or
other offices, is a mere conveyance, and
almost any one will suffice for such a
purpose, but to carry that which the
whole power Of an autocratic govern
ment is used to intercept and which, If
Intercepted, will cause the Punishment
to the icy regions of Siberia of those
implicated, besides doing great harm
to the cause. requires GOODNESS, cour-
age and resource.
One night at a secret meeting of the
circle of which / was a member l was
given a package which l was told con-
tanned printed circulars condemning
the government and calling o. those
who loved freedom to enroll them
selves for the cause. There was moth
ing in the circulars in case they fell
into the hands of the government to
injure any one but the person having
them in his or her possession, though
such person might be led to implicate
others. On account of this possible
implication and for my W safety, l
was cautioned as usual that IL suspi-
cious of being watched to get rid of
the package If possible. 1t contained
a hundred circulars, which was all one
person would be intrusted with to car
ry on account of size. ! had a pocket
made in the skirt of my dress especial
" adapted to carry concealed articles.
The morning after receiving my in
structions, being ready to start out on
the duty assigned me, l looked out of
my window down on to the street to
see If any suspicious person loitered
near. People were passing to and fro.
A short distance up the street two men
were standing talking together. They
seemed to be discussing something
which / assumed was of no Importance
to me, for they never once glanced in
my direction.
And yet these men were spies of the
government. One of them was in
structing the other that the house In
which l lived was under suspicion and
any one issuing from it was to be fol-
lowed. and If an arrest seemed war
ranted the person suspected was to be
