Straw Hats.
Just a little change in the crown, a little difference in
the brim; but what a difference it makes in the HAT.
There's satisfaction in knowing that you're wearing the cor
rect shape. We have the pick of the seasons plums in our
HAT DEPARTMENT.
Shirts that Fit.
All men are not built alike, hence the need of different
lengths of sleeve, slope of shoulder, shape of collar band etc.,
all of which are essential points in a perfect fitting shirt.
Our shirt-wearing friends appreciate the FIT, STYLE and
QUALITY of our goods.
See our SPECIAL FIFTY CENT SHIRT with two
seperate collars and detached LINK CUFFS.
Cool Outer Garments.
Are you still without a crash suit? . We have added
many lines to our summer wear, and with such an assort
ment, choosing is made easy.
Cool Undergarments.
The Balbriggan Underwear we show at 25c is by far the
best value ever sold at this price. We also carry complete
lines in Fine French Ballbriggan at SOc and 75c the garment.

The President and Mrs. McKinley
left Washington today for Holyoke,
Mans., where they go to see their niece,
Miss Barber, graduata. They expect
to remain away about ten days.
Preaident McKinley was not surpris
ed by the news of heavy fighting in the
Philippines, although many others
were. The President Knew mat tne
plans of Gen. Otis would bring on more
fighting, but he did not, of course,
know that the Filipinos would light so
hard. But the end was just the same
as it has been and as it will continue
to be as long as there is any fighting'
victory for the Americans. The fight'
ing this week hus not made the slight
est change in the plans of the War De
partment. Before the fighting started
orders were issued which will when
fully carried out give Gen. Otis a force
of 35,000 regulars, which will be five
thousand more men than he has at any
time expressed an opinion were neces
sary to put down the Philippine revolt.
No additional orders are at this time
contemplated by the War Department,
but as Gen. Otis is conducting an ac
tive campaign, notwithstanding the
rainy season, necessity for other orders
may arise at any time. Only one ob
ject is aimed at by the department to
put down the' revolt at the earliest
possible moment.
The troublesome question of a flag
for Cuban vessels that would secure
them protection in foreign ports, has
been satisfactorily solved, and the War
Depaitment will issue orders which
will enable Cuban vessels to fly the U.
9. flag above the coasting flag already
authorized. The combination of the
two flags will give notice to foreign
authorities that while the vessel flying
them is not an Americon vessel, it is
under American protection. The priv-
ilege of carrying the flag will confer no
privilege enjoyed by an American ves
sel in foreign ports, through treaty
nor in our own ports. The regulations
for the use of the flag will prescribe
that the owner of the vessel applying
therefor shall give bond that his vessel
shall engage only in legitimate trade,
and shall Usfi the flag only forprtrposHS
set forth in the official order ; also that
no Cuban vessel engaged in foreign
trade shall carry arms or ammunition,
except by special permiss' i of the
general commanding the United States
forces in Cuba. Vessels having the
flag shall when in foreign ports deposit
their clearance papers with the United
States consul, or if there be none, with
the consul of a friendly nation. The
order has been very carefully drawn
by Attorney General Briggs.
Notwithstanding the claim by the
Philadelphia paper that published the
sensational interview with Prof. Haupt
who was a member of the Nicaragua
Canal Commission, and is a member of
the new Canal Commission, concern
the methods of the opposition to pre'
vent the construction of the Nicaragua
canal, that the interview was correct
Prof. Haupt's denial of both the lan
guage and the sentiments of the inter
view, has been accepted by President
McKinley, and the incident is closed
so far as any official action is con
cerned.
Ex-ConereBsman Baker, of New
Hampshire, who is president of the
League of Republican Workers, which
has been formed for the purpose of op
posing any further extension of the
civil service rules, says he expects to
have some startling facts to present to
Congress next winter. Speaking of
the league and its objects, Mr. Baker
said: "We are opposed not only to an
extension of the civil service system
but also to the interference with the
law which has been practiced. In oth
er words, we believe that the law
should be put back to just what itB
terms specifically indicate. The law
was intended originally to apply only
to departmental clerkships with sal
aries from $1,200 to $1,800 and like
grades of clerical service in post-offl
ces and custom houses. There is, we
believe, no just ground for the eilen-
sions that have been made. In add
tion to this ; appointments have been
made in violation of law. FavoriteB
in lower grades have been promoted
without examination, and have bee
appointed without entrance examina
tion. These fortunate people are the
pets of the men in power, and gener
ally of those who are the loudest in
their praise of civil service reform. I
shall not specify theBe cases at this
time, but the facts will be made known
to congress. The result will be, we
think, to prevent the civil service hum
bJg awing coddled any further. We
shall try to prevent the insertion of u
civil servica plank in the next repub
lican national platform.
The best thing about Col Mender
soa's remarkable triumph is that ithas
left no hard feelings. Ex-Congressman
Soutnwick, of N. Y., one of Ri'i .
resentative Sherman's closest friends,
who was in Washington this week,
said : "Mr. Sherman accepts his defeat
for the speakership with the utmost
philosophy, and isn't in the least sore
over Col. Henderson's raeord-breaking
Those who prate a';oirt theimmoral'
lty of the Turk oh-; f Mohammedan
ism ought to ccns.ijer for a moment
ust how much ot rather, how little
they know aboat the matter, says a
letter in the Chicapi) JtecoiA. Islam as
a theory may. be t k Wfflng, but its
practical resulU tie offwi worthy of
notice. In no lar'it city of Europe
or America is thero so little public
drunkenness as in ( fcustantinople, and
the sight of an intoxicated Turk is
almost unknown.' In this connection I
must call attention to the sultan'i
rigid rule against dtcollete and sleeve
less dresses at the palace dinner par
ties. And let me aiU the following lit
eral translation of a paragraph which
lately appeared in t one of the Con
stantinople papers. "The police have
been authorized to forbid the letting
of apartment to mingle men In' the
houses of Stamboul,' .especially in those
near Moslem homav The assembling
under one roof of ' men living apart
from their families is contrary to the
usage and custom of the country. The
game law is applies to tbij property ol
foreigners, as well as those ol utto
man subjects." What Christian gov
ernment, however ..paternal, would
make such a radical move toward im
proving the morals of the people?

School Declared Nal.aaee.
A school has been adjudged to be a
nuisance by Justice Komerof the Eng
lish chancery court. A schoolmaster
took a house at Turnbrulge Wells on
the assurance that there was nothing
to prevent its being used as a school.
He afterward discovered In bis lease a
covenant that no trade or business
should be carried on in the bouse
which would cause any noise injurious
or disturbing to the neighbors and
asked to be released. Justice Komer
allowed the rescinding of the lease, as
there was no doubt that an action
against the school as a nuisance would
succeed.
Advantage of Teaching-.
Returning from school with a pump
kin seed in her hand, a little girl in-
formed her mother that her teacher
had taught her that the seed was white,
but the pumpkin was yellow. Ths
mother asked: "What Is the color of
the vine?" The flve-year-old said that
her teacher bad not taught her that
"But." said her mother, "you know, for
you have seen the vines in the garden."
"Of course 1 have, but we are noi ex-
pected to know anything until we havs
been taught.
