About Encyclopedias.
Nearly every successful enterprise
brings competitors into the field. Some
act honorably, some dishonorably. When
acompetitor is obliged to misrepresent
the goods of another in order to sell his
own, it is usually considered, from a
commercial standpoint, that he has an
inferior article to sell. The idea is to be
little in the eyes of the public the cups.

reputation, also the honor and reputa-
tion of our worthy citizens who have
kindly lent their assistance and influence
toward the introduction of this edition
of Britannica, which has been so un-
justly attacked.
It is not our purpose to display the de.

of others, but, as a few of our leading
citizens have been misled into making
statements that are, in many respects.

to warn our readers against the wily ap-

agents. who seem to make any kind of
misrepresentations in order to sell their
wares.
Tm: SENTINEL thoroughly investigated
this edition of the Britannica before of-
fering it to its readers. Time forbids us
to go into this matter in detail in this
present issue. Our readers may rest as-
sured, however, that Tns Summer. is in
a position to substantiate every state-
ment it has made in reference to this
great set of books, and will spare no
time. trouble or expense in doing so in
later issues of this paper.
As heretofore stated in the oolums of
THE SENTINEL this edition is a reproduc-
tion of the famous ninth and last edition
of this great work, with the following
. changes and additions: An entire new
set of state and a few foreign maps have
beeninsertcd in this edition in place of
the Old, out of date maps. now found in
the original Scribner edition. These
maps cost $80,000 to produce. About
817 pages of the work were copyrighted
articles, which have been replaced by
new articles on the some topics, and
which occupy identically the same space
in the work. The principal one of these
articles is on the United States, occupy-
ing 102 pages, which contains much later
statistics and data than will be found in
the original article. The remaining all}
pages are distributed among \twenty-
three short articles, most of which are
on cities and towns of the United States,
and biographies of prominent American
citizens. In rewriting these articles the
data and statistics have all been revised
to date. making these articles more val-
uable in our opinion than the same ar-
ticles now found lathe original ninth
edition. Eacsptlng these 817 pages. the
balance of this edition is a lac simile of

The rewriting of the original copy-

supervision of Rt. Rev. Samuel Fallows.
D.D , late professor of physics in Law-
rence university. Seteralof these arti-
cles are signed by Rev. Samuel Fallows.
The remaining rewritten articles were
prepared under his supervision, and all
the writers of the same were carefully
selected by him. and it will be found
that most of these articles are signed by
the writers. The American revisions
and additions of this work were edited
by W. H. Depuy. DnD , L.L. D , who
was the author of People's Cyclopedia,
published by the MethodistBook concern.
The above is a clear and frank state.
ment of the facts pertaining to this edi-
tion of Britannica, which 'lua Sam-ism.
is now offering to its readers, and any
statements or representations that are
made concerning this set of books that
differ from the above may be looked
upon as absolutely false and libelous.
In view of the above facts we respect.
fully request all of our readers and citi-
zens to use caution towards lending as-
sistance to unknown bookmen, who
have seen fit to deride and libel, not only
this great set of books, but the newspaper
which has seen fit to offer it to its read-
ers at such a low price and on such easy
terms.
The encyclopedia offered by Tut: Sax-
'l'lNEL is just what The: SENTIsEL has
represented it to be, and we aresurprised
that those who have critlzed it should
have done so without a knowledge of
the facts.
Woman “as Science Sees ller.
Now that Professor G. T. W. Patrick
has “written her .up" in The Popular
Science Monthly, that, too, in the light
of the highest learning, it is to be hoped
that woman will be satisfied and will
stop so much fuss. Professor Patrick
compares the mole and female from tho
qundrupod up through the savngc to
the latest civilized specimens of the
sexes, such as they urn.
For one thing we are told that the
male is kutnlmlic, while the fomnlo is
anabolic, invariably. Do you hear that.

Just so. And when mun plumes himself
on his larger globulin she can just wug

That will even things. as it were.
Our learned professor discovers, more-
over, that woman is at once a more
conscientious creature and in greater liar
than man. A common person might
find this statement hard to reconcile,
but all things are wesihlc toscicnoo.
Professor G. T. W. P. concludes, on the
whole, that woman is a case of arrested
development. Perhaps so. But moun-
timo women are just now developing
alarmingly.
Our War showed the American people
the necessity of running railroads
through all parts of the country. If Chi-
no can learn anything from experience,
she also will take to heart the sumo les-
son. Whon the war with Japan imgun,
China had only two railroads. One was
the North China line, from Tien-tsiu to
Shun Hui Kunn, 230milcs long. The
other was it little 20 mile narrow gnngc
on the island of Formosa. The North
China line was all she had for transpor-
tation of troops and supplies. So that,
all told. China has only 250 miles of
railroad »for her 400,000,000 inhabit-
ants. A country like that ought to be
either mended or ended.
Mr. Pickering, an accomplished and
experienced British diplomat, commis-
sioned to report to the English war of-
fice on the condition of the Chinese
army. wrote: "The partition of China is
inevitable. If England is who, she will
prepare for the coming scramble. It is

C423 LASJZS' DOUBLE BREASTEG
JACKET
HINTS BY MAY “ANTON.
Among the season’s styles for top gar-
ments, the favorite "reefer" ranks sec-
ond to none. It is particularly jaunty
and stylish looking, is easily ad justcd,
and is very generally becoming.
Fawn satin faced cloth is the material
chosen for the handsome garment hers
illustrated, the collar being partially
faced with brown velvet.
The double breasted loose-fitting fronts
are deeply faced with cloth, and ravens
to form lapels at the upper edge, meet-
ing the rolling collar in notches. Large
fancy pearl buttons close the fronts in
orthodox reefer style, buttonhcles being
worked on right edge at equal distance
as shown. Useful pockets are hidden
under square pocket laps.
A perfect fitting back adjustment is
secured by means of under arm and side-
back gorse, with the usual center curving
seam that ends in stylish coat laps below
the waist line.
Coat plaits are laid under the finish of
the side-back seams and are marked by
single pearl buttons at the top.
Handsome sleeves of fashionable width
droop stylishly from the plaita at the top,
the lower portions fitting neatly at the
wrists.
The jacket will make up satisfactorily
in any of the sea-enable coatings, serge,
whipcord, covert, or other cloth or suit.
ings.
A plain finish, or machine stitching, is
all that is necessary, proper attention to
the details of pressing all seams and
edges on the wrong side with a hot iron
over a damp cloth, producing results
equal to the best tailor made.
