Where are you going this Summer to the seashore, to thq mountains or to some quiet spot In the countryT All Winter long new cot tages and new hotels have been making their appearance with more or less en ergy here and there, and In the Inst few weeks things have been rushed forward to have everything ready for the first hot wave. The weather bureau declares that at last the weather has settled down for a good hot Summer, and next week the vanguard of Summer visitors will begin to arrive ot the various water ing places. Near New York the regular Summer residents have already opened their cottages, and nt the nearby resorts like. Hath Ilcach, Far Itockaway and along the Jersey shore the hotels are already well filled with visitors. liar Harbor has not yet sprung Into active life, and, of course, the mountain re Boris are still slumbering In their Win ter lethargy. The "Sunday World" to-morrow will devote three pages to laying before Its readers nearly overythlng that they would like to know about what has been going on all Winter nt the various wa terlng places. It will tell you all about the new hotels, who have built new cot tages and what general improvements have been made here and there. If you are going to return this Summer to the same place you went last year you will llnd n story telling all that Is new, and giving you a very clear view of the cut look for the season. Uesldes this, the "Sunday World" will print a. very strik ing page of pictures of the Summer girl of 'W. showing her In her various spe cialties, fads, fancies and frolics at the big Eastern resorts. Miss Meg Mcrrllii"!, that enterprising and very courageoua young woman wha has already acquainted the readers of the "Sunday World" with visions of life In New York and her varied and unu'ual experiences, will to-morrow tell of what she saw and did during a stroll along the bottom of the Hay. This young woman, with four pairs of underflannels to keep her from being chilled, attired herself In a diving suit and explored the mysteries of life under water In our harbor. Any body who has read Julea Verne's re markable story, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," will have some curiosity to know what Mlis Meg Mer rllles his to say about her experiences among the nshej and crabs and eels down Tho "Sunday World" to-morrow will present n most timely and interesting story, forecasting the chances of the great American yacht Vigilant, which has Just arrived In British waters, with hir shirt sleeves rolled up, and ready to show the crack English racers that she can beat them all. This Is tho yacht which last year held the championship and defeated Valkyrie, nnd now, under tho command of George Gould, has stepped Into llrltlsh waters to show her stern to the famouB llrltannla, the Trlnce of Walcs'a celebrated yacht. The "Sunday World" will tell exactly what races Vigilant will try to win, and will give the opinions of the leading British yachtsmen on her chance of bringing back to America all the cups she can lay her hands on. Among other features of the "Sunday World" to-morrow will be a most charming fiction story by Margaret De land: a very curious article, with some most extraordinary pictures, of animals of paBt ages, those enormous beasts that walked the earth before the days of Adam; an Interesting Illustrated study of the students of tho leading American colleges for women and the girl gradu ates of 1KU; an article of special Interest to baseball enthusiasts on the birthday of baseball, which occurred Just forty eight years ago next Tuesday, when the first match game of ball was played In this country. To-morrow'B "Sunday World" will be a most notable paper, covering every realm of human Interest. Don't mlsB to-morrow's "Sunday World." PUSH OKI The Lexow Investigating Committee made a dip Into Bohemia yesterday and elicited the fact that the uptown east side Bohemian saloon-keepers had formed an association for the protection of Its members In their business, nnd especially to enable them to do a Sun day business without getting Into trou ble. Their operations were on a very limited scale, because they are poor, and they make rather an Insignificant show ing by the side of the grander scale on which business Is conducted In the Ten derloin precinct. Is It not about time that the Commit tee Bhould call to the stand some of the notorious owners of the glided dens of vice In the Tenderloin precinct and In uptown districts, and some of the men who are known to have run gambling houses In the city for years, and to be running them to-day? What Is the use of examining the needy keeper of nn east-side "coffee house" or disreputable resort for poor, abandoned wretches, when the bo-Jewelled landladies of the golden palaces of vice are to be had? Who carea about a few newsbojs who play "oraps" when the wealthy keepers of notorious gam bling hells are Hashing their diamonds and displaying their "rolls" on the roce tracks or over the boards of green cloth? Come, gentlemen of the Committee, push on the excellent work ou are doing, so that the whole story can be put before the people before election, and It cannot be charged that nny one Is simply getting up a case for cam paign purposes. The people arc after vice, not votes; after plunder, nat poll tics; after blackmail, and not ballots; after police corruption, and not political capital. The citizens of New York are far more Interested In good government than In the next Governor. Senutors, push on your excellent work! AN ERRONEOUS IDEA. A Buffalo newspaper expresses sur prise that "Democratic Journals" In New York should be "the most malig nant enemies" of Tammany Hall, which Is "the oldest Democratic organization In the country " and "has fought so many good tights for the Democracy " It Is an error to suppose that Journals having the principles of the Democratic party at heart are enemies, malignant or otherwise, of the Tammany organiza tion because they are the enemies of those who, having gained control of the organization, are leading It astray from Democratic principles, and by their cor rupt methods making it a reproach to the Democratic party and an Injury to theJSemocratlo cause. Tha work of purifying Tammany Uall - t jjlattljgrtlgilfmvj la now going bravely on. The methods It promotes and encourages are being laid bare before the eyes of tho people. Its leaders are fleeing from the wrath certain to come If they stay. Its fol lowers have the penalties of crime held out before their ryes and sec thit tho "protection" on which they have de pended can no longer protect. Arc the forces promoting this work the "enemies" of Tammany? Are they not rather Its best friends? There are thousands upon thousands of honest Democrats In Tammany who will rejoice whin the purification und regeneration arc complete, and who nro already look ing forward to tho time when Tam many under new nnd clean und honest lenders can again claim her proud title as the old Democratic organization of the city. OUR FLAG IS THERE. Three cheers for the American boat bullderl Three cheers for the great American yacht Vigilant, which showed her stem to the gallant Valkyrie In all her races for the America's Cup! When Englishman have been compelled to yield to American yachts In contest nfter contest, the cry of the Britishers his ntwayn been, "Ah, but look at sea going qualities, don't-cher-knowl Where would these Yankee shells be out at tea?" Well, the good yncht Vigilant cut her graceful way through British waters yciterday, having reached the Irish coast Just fourteen dns, thirteen hours and forty-four minutes nfter her departure from Sandy Hook, doing the voyage In shorter time than any sloop yncht that ever before crossed the Atlantic and bent 'ng tho Vnlkyrle'B time over' the tame course. The Vigilant Is expected to be ready for the llrst of the Clyde regattas In July, and It Is given out that the owners, the Gould boys, will do their best to win, und will not toady to Britannia, ns It Is wld some English boats do. Why, of course not. They will bent the Prince of Wnles If they can, thnt Is sure. They will have to do their best to win, anyway. NEWS FROM THE ABSENT. Mr. Richard Croker has arrived In Queenstown. Everybody will rejoice to hear that his first words to an Associ ated Press teporter confirmed that as sertion of his friends on this side of the Atlantic, that he wilt be glad to give the Lexow Committee any assistance In his power, should they desire It. This, of course, means that he will be reedy to return voluntarily as a witness, should he be wanted by the Committee. It Is to be hoped that the Committee will send Mr. Croker n polite Invitation to 'kttfy. When search Is being made for the money raised by the police nnd tho Tammnny district lenders In the city, and when It Is found very destrnble, In deed, to trnce where It goes, an Investi gation without the ex-lender's testi mony seems like the play of "Hamlet" with tho melancholy Prince excluded. Of course everybody knows, ns Mr. Croker claims, that he Is "out of poli tics now," nnd holds no public position. But the events being Inquired Into oc curred when Mr. Croker was very much In politics and occupied a prominent public position. Mr. Croker, with characteristic mod esty, says that he left New York sud denly and without announcement, be cause "he did not suppose the public attaches nny Interest to his move ments." But, Indeed, the public does attach n very great deal of Interest to Mr. Croker's movements, nnd would have been delighted to have heard from his lips a history of how he accumu lated his Aloddln-llke fortune, nnd what he knows of Tammany methods In gen eral und the police doings In particular. Mr. Croker's Innate diffidence makes him unaware of tho Interest token In him by his fcllow-cltlzens. who were nEtonlshed and grieved at his flitting. THE 8UFFRAGIST AND HER "FOP' The Populists have Indorsed the Woman Suffragists. The Woman Suf fragists have Indorsed the Populists. There you are. So long as they conllnc their achleements to Indorsing each other, they are all right. Should Sen ator PefTer and Susan B. Anthony take long walks In the moonlight, holding hands and acting skittishly, the coun try might blush a little, but It would resume its presence of mind Immediate ly and yell out: "Bully for both of them!" The Populists want the Government to own and run all the railroads and tele graph lines and banks, with several other paying business enterprises of this land. We presume that now that the Woman Suffragists, have Joined In with them tho Populists will tnck a codicil on to their platform Insisting thnt the Government will do dressmaking and conduct millinery shops and soda foun tains and Ice-cream parlors. This would cerlastlngly clinch woman's Indorse ment of the prairie statesmen's cause. It Is so nice to see the Populist nnd the Suffragist enjoying ench other's confi dence In this manner. Now they have nothing to do but wait for the day to break when things will come their way. If they care to use the dome of the Pulit zer Building for horizon-scanning they are welcome, but horizons are not In very good working order this year, ami they may wear out thlr scanners long before the scan amounts to anything. nniToitiAi, rKv-i.iNEiis.

To tha ndltor: 1 htue read the several If Iters published In your valuable paper by "Johnnie Hull," "Ameri can" and others I am an American, born In Philadelphia, hut It has I een my lot to reside upward ot ten ears In Eng land and France, and I regret to say that I rannot boa.t of the pride for tho land of my birth aa most of my fellow-rltlzens do. I hsvc experienced life on both sides ot the herring pond, ant I am very sure that If "American" and nthera whu hae written In reply to "John nie Dull" Bhould live for a tew eara on the other side they would not only aoon find out what a laughing stock we are, but would ac knowledge a lery pleasurable difference In all things, and would then refrain from so egotisti cally bragging about this "land of the free" be ing so much better than others, especially to Ilrlltshera. For my part, I am compelled to own that I am disgusted with my country and shall be glad to get away again to where I can meet gentlemen and be free from colliding with such Ill-mannered people aa I meet with In almost etery sphrre of Ufa on this side. I agree with J. Van Alen: "This country Is not fit for ladles and gentlemen." JvEVSTONX. Clirlsit nnd the Commandments. To the ndltor: Am I to understsnd by "O. F.'s" answer to "Grace" that Jesus changed the sabbath day from the seventh to the first day of tho week In direct disobedience ot the ten commandment, which still stand recorded unbroken, and are taught to every Chrlstlsn child who attends Sunday-school? It ao, he not only disobeyed the commandmenta ot God, but ot hts Father also, which. In my opinion, Is a very bad eiample to teach children In a Sunday-school. Tho com mandment still reads! "On the seventh day abalt thou rest." This doaa not look aa It It had been changed; and an event of auch Importance shonld, In my opinion, have been recorded. There are thousands of avente less Important than this given great weight In the lltble. "0. F," In referring to the Jewish Babbath ahould bear In mtnd that Christ waa a Jew, therefore the Jew ish Sabbath waa Christ's Sabbath, and Christ waa not the man to break the Sabbath or change the word of God.

This Is one great fault of Americans. They claim every thing in sight. My nrrt III Impression nt Amerl csns came trim reading Dickens's "Martin Chui ill It.' and "American Notes" Then, again, I have met ao many Americana abroad, full of brag and boasting, loud In talk and email In wit. Your rcadsra who have spent mrtti time In Loo. don god' raila wilt, p.rhips, corroborate me when I state that In each of these cities there are American colonlca who carry out the Idea that they are Utter In all ways than the average American at home, and who do not hide their aneers at their cwn ceunfrymen.

To the ndltor: I would humbly ask tha public at large where would be the advantage to the majority ot work Inrwomen should thy gsln the' full right of suffrage? I am a worklngwoman, but hetven know. I do not want tho ballot. If those same Influential men and women who believe they are beneOtlng the worklngwoman by striving to give her tho privilege of voting would but glte her employment, (hen they would bo truly beneficial to their sisters. God did not give woman the right to vote, but, oh, surely he gae ber the right to lite; but how can life exist without ustenance? For months and moiths I le been seeking employment as a stenographer and type writer; I hive adertlsed, I hate answered ad vertisements, I have walked, I have written, I he even begged for work Must ono then lie down and dig? Surely there Is aomo way of ob taining work Can no one give me advice? If I could but secure a temporary position, even in another line of work, It would sufllco until 1 could aecure a stenographer'a place. Poubtless there re thousands ot other women In New York who, like myself, are out of employment. On our behalf I exclaim, we do not want "rights " Women's rlghta will not give us work: the ballot la not bread. A DISHISARTENUD ORPHAN. Tliey Are Superior. To the Editor- Will jou pleaso say to "S.

"Man apalnst man," and "woman against woman," are all very well In their way, but when lscnnes to "Man against woman" or hei vocation In this llf. It certainly demeans, and provea tho assailant to be any thing but "a manly man" or a perfect gentle man. Nn doubt "S M " Is a silly, weak-mlndod, bald-headed old b-vchelor, who haa been rejected by a typewriter, probably for the reason that he la unable to cope with her intellectually, so cially and financially. He la evidently Jealous of her superiority over man In general and him self In particular. While she earns most Jlkely Mi or l-u aTweek. he haa to be content with tS or 110? Docs tho shoo fit? Explain, then, why o many marry their employers Simply because while under their supervision the men have a change to learn their true halite, their su periority and their many virtues. With you It Is a sure case ot "sour grapes, "S. M.," "sour grapes" ' DAISY BELU "Johnnie- Hall" nnil "American." To the ndltor: Arter reading "Amerlcan'a" letter one can only wonder which la the greater donkey, he or "Johnnie Dull." I half sutrcct "American" Is no real American at all, and ofter such productions as his letter one fcela arhamel that he should eten appenl that name to It. We have Quito aa many faults if not more than our transatlantic cousins, and tlicy can Justly bring a terrible array of prominent Americans who wave dis graced their country, and aro now In our prisons and penitentiaries. If we talk of their awlndllng "upper" ten, e The Lexow Committee Is not calculated to mal.e American, particularly proud of their political government, at least, Just now. Let me adilse "American" to read a little and know what he Is talking ot before rushing Into print. AMERICAN. NVhnt In Lore? To the editor: Oh. what la love?

To the Editor: Rome young students, who seam to be much Interested In the problems propounded by parties of advanced elucatlon, have called my attention to a problem by a Mr. II A. Jones, the solution of which has n,t appeared hitherto As all those problems, however s'mp'.e. hava an edu cational tendency, this one should not hsve been sllghtod by your contributors, nery one of whom. In our opinion. Is a voluntary teacher to those who have not had the advantagei of an early education. Problem ns stated to me: "Find three right-angled triangles of different dimen sions, but whose oresa are eiual " As the following solution Is Intend, for young atudenta not fsr advanced In geometry and men suration, we shall try to make It sufficiently comprehensive. There being no limit to areas or, dimensions, we will select a rectangle Cxi feet, area 48 square feet. Dividing this rectonsle by a diagonal, we get two right-angled triangles, the area of either equalling 24 square feet. 3o we find our first parent right-angled trianglealti tude, 6 feet, base, 8 feet, hypothenuse, 10 feet: .area, 2t s-juare feet. As we must retain thla area throughout ta find our second triangle wa will now cut off fro-n our first rectangle 2xS feet, containing 11 square feet, from which we form a rectangle or nauare of 4x4 feet, which we add to tt.o end ot the remaining portion ot our first rectanglo (Sx4 feet), the area 8 12 of which was 22 square feet, and get our second rectangle, it 12 feet, with an area of 43 square feet. This roc Uncle we dllde by a diagonal as before, and find our second right-angled tri angle altitude. 4 feet, ban, 12 (cot; area, 24 rijuare feet. We trust the foregoing Is suf fiflently plain for young students to soe how we find our triangle of equal area and dlfferont di mensions We now adopt a shorter method than the foregoing To find our third, we reduce the attitude from 4 to 2 feet and divide the area by this altitude, and double the quotient will be our base 24 divided by 3 equals 8, which, mul tiplied by 2 equals 1C, our bare. Our third triangle has an altitude of 3 feet, base, 16 feet; area, 24 square fet. To find our fourth triangle we reduce the altitude to 2 feet, then the area, 24, divided by 2 equals 12, and 12 multiplied by 2 equals 24, our base. Our fourth Is, altitude, 2; base, 24, area, 24 square feet. 13 y Theorum 47.1, Euclid, the square root of the sum of tho squares of the altitude and base will be the hypothenuse of each of tho foregoing right angled triangles, all of which will be different, as are the sides. Halt the altitude by the base, or half the product ot the altitude by the base, will give the area of right-angled triangles In mensuration M. O'D FLEMING, 308 Iludaon avenue, Drooklyn, N. T.

Hence the square of At) plus 9, which will be tha square ot AD plus twice 9 (IS) times AD, plus SI, also equala the square of AD, plua the squire of DC. Subtract ing from their equal quantities the square ot All, which appears in both, the remainders will be equal, and we hate 13 times AD, plua 81, equal to the square ot DC, which la 1,29S.

This style Is very attrac tive In light, small figured ellk or lawn. Homo Decorntlonn. It Is not well to follow the caprices of faBhlon In decorating your home. In the matter of wall paper, for Instance, take Into consideration the size and location of the room. If It receives the cold north light use a warm-tinted paper, while a gray paper may look bet ter In a room -with a southern exposure. A delicate, retiring wall enlarges a small room, hlle n flaring, bold design contracts the apartment unto suffoca tion. Straw berry Shortcnltc.

Cauliflower au gratln Is a favorite dish with nil who are fond of this vege table, which. If It can be said to havo a fault. Is that of Insipidity. Hy the way, If you call It delicacy of flavor It will taste a great deal better. Boil the caulloflwer, drain, lay In a dish and pour over It a cup of drawn butter well seasoned; sprinkle with four table spoonfuls of grated cheese, and brown by holding a red-hot shovel so close to the cheese that It singes and takes fire. Dlow out at once and send to table. If the Juice of a lemon and a half tea spoonful of French mustard are added to a cupful of drawn butter, and It Is then poured over the boiled vegetable, It Is called "cauliflower with sauce tar tare."

New silver cuft-buttona of deep blue and red enamel are double and bean shaped, wllh a tiny sliver wreath on the enamel. Silver receptacles with covers to hold mucilage, cologne, shoe polish and other necessaries of life, are provided for the Summer travelling season. Celery. Very few persons think of serving cel ery save In the natural state, but celery should be served In other forms. From the stalks and leaves, wrlcy are not de sirable for serving raw, a aream-of-celery soup may be prepared. Any cook book will give directions, though It will not eay It may be made from these pieces; but It can. as experience haa taught me. Cclery-ln-cream sauce, as directed for cabbage, Is a dish fit for an epicure. Prepare It In the same wny. Scalloped celery also Is very good. Put a layer In a shallow baking dish and cover with cream sauce. Sprinkle with but tered bread crumbs and bake quickly. The Aricentlno Girl, A pen portrait Irom a foreign corre spondent of a typical Argentine girl presents a very charming picture. In tho bloom of youth, nnd maturity as well, for she Is fully developed at fif teen, she Is beautiful to look upon, with her erect rrtid Bplendldly proportioned figure, perfect oval face, hair as dark ns night, and lustrous eyes, shaded with long, curling lashes. A tlngo of Euro pean blood gives her cheeks the dainty pink of a damask rose.
