Howls from various reform CTS over the scanty bathing costumes of girls have perhaps silenced the voice of truth in respect to the bath. ing garb of men. But the voice of truth grew strong and loud when residents of Coney Island appeared before the committee on general welfare to express their shocked surprise at the meagreness of gen. tlemen's bathing suits this year.

The ghost of John Barleycorn has grown from wailing wisp to a bur ly and prepossessing shadow which his friends of the anti pr prohibition hope is the shadow of coming events. Women again are getting ready for this parade on July 4. Where, one asks once more, Is grandmama who thought all ladies favored teetotal temperance? Other ghosts have been raised by Joseph F. Rim. The spiritualists had convention this week attended by hundreds of the most widely known spiritualists and spirits. This reused MT. Rim, whose real purpose is raising ghosts to lay them once and for all. He has chal- lenged John Slater, a famous med ium, to a battle of ghosts versus sceptics, and he promises to prove Spooks are therefore quoted at $5,000 each.
