Nowadays it doesn’t require the special purchase of cloth and then a calculation con- cerning the sizes, with cut- ting, tearing, and steady application of the needle until they are made. You can also avoid the disappoint- ment in not having someone to sew for you just when you want them the most. Sometimes the good house- wife discovers, all at once, that the sheets and pillow- cases are ‘ giving out.’ Then comes the consoling thought that she can drop in here and find what she wants—plain or hemstitched, all sizes— ready to use, for less than it would cost to buy the cloth and have them made at home.

All ABSURD RUMOR DENIED. Neither Archbishop Ireland Nor Bishop Keene Was Slighted—The Delegates Attend Mass In a Body—Arch- bishop Ryan’s Address. NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-—Twelve hundred delegates of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America who came from all parts ofvthe country to attend the silver jubilee convention of the union gathered about Columbia hall, Sixtieth street and Ninth avenue, today. They represented 65,000 members. ' . There were priests without number, old men with whitened locks, boys and young men, girls in their teens and women of mature years, and all wore the badge em- blematic of the organization, which; $01- lowing in the footsteps of Father Math- ew, has for 25 years advocated cold wa- ter. . There were bands and banners and ca- dets in uniform. The whole neighborhood Was given up to them. Columbus hall, which, besides being able to seat all the delegates, is provided with a deep gallery for visitors, was taste- fully decorated with the flags of 'all na- tions, but over all was the stars and stripes. Before the proceedings began there was much talk among the delegates and clergy- men concerning a report published in a morning paper that the friends of Arch- bishop Ireland and Bishop Keene were in- dignant at the manner in which these prelates-had been treated. The story was that they had been ignored in the matter of invitations; that while nearly every bishop of prominence had received person- al invitations theirynalnes were not on the list. The publication of the story received much adverse criticism. “I am sorry that such misstatements should get into print, ” said the Rev. J. M. Cleary, president of the union, to a re- porter. “There is absolutely not a parti- cle of truth in the story. Neither Archn bishop Ireland nor Bishop Keene has been ignored. They are, on the contrary, two of our warmest friends.” Programme of the Convention. According to the programme mapped out the delegates were to attend mass in a body at the cathedral, and for that rea- son the proceedings in the convention were short and simple. It was opened with prayer by Rev. Fa- ther O’Callaghan of the Paulist church, after which the president outlined the pro- gramme. He said that only the committee on ere- dentials would be appointed, and then the delegates, headed by the band, would pro- ceed in a body to the cathedral. Then, on motion of Rev. Father O’Brien of Ohio, the committee was appointed as follows, the names being read by Secretary Logue: Philip A. Nolan of Philadelphia, Thom- as Gaffney of Scranton, Thomas McShee- by of Ohio, Miss Kate Mullin of St. Louis and J. Ryan of Illinois. Walter Fitzsim— mons and Miss Mary Dougherty were ap- pointed assistant secretaries of the con~ vention. Rev. Father Doyle of the Paulist church announced that there had been considera- ble trouble in arranging for the parade on account of the delay in sending in names of delegations. » General O’Bierne, he said, was then at work on the matter, and it was arranged that the presidents of the different organ. izations should meet shortly after noon to complete arrangements. The delegates and friends then formed into line, and headed by a band proceeded to the cathedral, where seats had been re- served for them. In the archiepiscopal residence Arch- bishop Satolli, Archbishop Corrigan,Arch- bishop Ryan of Philadelphia and half a hundred priests were waiting. The s01- emn high mass began immediately after the arrival of the delegates. Archbishop Satolli was the celebrant, and the sermon was preached by Archbishop Ryan. Archbishop Ryan’s Address. . Among other things Archbishop Ryan said was: s “To effect great popular moral reforms the religious element in man, the con- science power within him, must be appeal- ed to. You cannot legislate him into morality. “You may seek to strike at the saloon and urge men to pass it as the Greeks passed the temples of their furies, “with- out looking, without breathing, without speaking. ’ You may enact the most strin- gent laws against Sunday drinking and create a powerful public opinion which will brand as disgraceful the slightest abuse of alcoholic drinks. “The saloons are indeed causes of in- temperance, but they are themselves only the effects of the unrestrained thirst for drink. You must seek out‘the cause of the curse and go to the fountains of the heart and there drop in the sweetening word of religious influence. “Observe, I do not condemn laws if ju- diciously framed and wisely administered, but I say that they are not enough. They deal with symptoms and effects and par- tial causes, but religion alone probes to "the heart." The afternoon session was called to or- der promptly at 2 o’clock. The president delivered an address, which was followed by the secretary, showing the work of the organization during the past year. The parade formed at the hall and pro- ceeded to Carnegie hall, where a public meeting was held. Mayor Strong presid- ed, and President Roosevelt of the police board and President Murray of the excise board delivered addresses. Archbishops Satolli, Corrigan, Ryan and Fathers Cleary and Elliott and Thomas L. James also spoke. Negro Missionaries For Africa. NEW YORK, Aug. 8.~—On the Ward line steamship Seguranca, which arrived today from ‘Havana, were ten negroes of both sexes, who are on their wayto Africa a: - missionaries. ’ THE KIT-CHANG MASSACRE. Chinese Soldiers Sent to Protect a Mission ’ Said to Have Plundered It. LONDON, Aug. 8.—Archdeacon Wolfe sends a cable dispatch from Fuchau say- ing that the Chinese soldiers sent to pro- tect the mission at Ku-Chang broke into and plundered it. He says that no reli- ance can be placed upon the Chinese au- thorities. Mr. Robinson telegraphs from Hongkong that a public meeting has been held there, and that resolutions were passed demanding the prompt punishment of those engaged in the massacre at Ku-Chang and requesting that the Chinese government give guaran- tees for the protection of the lives and property of foreigners. H. M. S. Linnet, a second class twin screw gunboat, has arrived at Fuchau. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. ——Ministcr Yang Yu of China and his secretaries, Messrs. H00 and Chung, have returned to Wash- ington to take any action that may be req- uisite in connection with the reported massacre of missionaries and destruction of American and English missionary prop- erty in China. Their vacation was about over, but the shocking character of the re- ports and the official action likely to be taken by the powers doubtless expedited their return. The minister declines to discuss publicly a subject which may in- volvo diplomatic questions, but in view of the wide publicity given to the reports of massacres he authorized the press through his official interpreters to express profound regret at the reports. Thus far there is a meagcrness of official information, and the minister hopes that the later and fuller reports will modify the severity of the un- official reports which have come to the press. In any event he expresses confi- dence that the central government at Pe- king will do everything in its power to- ward humane and ample action. HEALY DENOUNOED. -—-—., , Justin McCarthy Accuses Him of Disloy- alty to His Party. DUBLIN, Aug. 8.——The Freeman’s J our- nal publishes a manifesto from Mr. Jus- tin McCarthy, addressed to “My fellow countrymen.” The manifesto says that party are ruinous to the Nationalist cause, and that the disasters can only be repaired by the restoration of discipline and by the party acting loyally together. The election would have gone better but for the action of so called Nationalists openly trying to bring back the coercion- ists to power and the more lamentable blows aimed at the Irish party by one of Mr. McCarthy’s own colleagues at the most critical moment of the elections. Continuing, Mr. McCarthy says: “It would be impossible to overestimate the disastrous effect of Mr. Healy’s unfounded charges at the Oli’lagh convention, which were grossly and ludicrously untrue. I am compelled to describe Mr. Healy’s ac— tion as disloyal to the party and as a breach of the ordinary code of honor. “I feel bound to warn lny countrymen and colleagues on the eve of the opening of parliament of my views, which, if I am elected to the chairmanship of the party, I will enforce to the utmost of my ability.” Britannia Scores Again.

Aug. 8.—-President Roose- velt of the police board would not make any statement today as to his conference with Mayor Strong. He was told it was the belief that the mayor had asked him not to be so strict in enforcing the excise law. “I am not going to discuss it,” the commissioner said, “but Iwould certainly deny that part of the story. ” George Appo Arrested. BUFFALO, Aug. 8.——George Appo, the notorious green goods man and star wit- ness of the Lexow investigating commit. tee, was arrested here and is awaiting the arrival of a New York officer. Appo is wanted in New York for shooting an offi- cer who interfered with him while steer— ing an “innocent” into a green goods snare. Missing Mrs. Gardner Found. NORWICH, Conn., Aug. S.—Edward R. La Pierre has a domestic who has been identified as Mrs. Annie M. Gardner oi Arcadia, Neb., the missing Christian En~ deavor delegate.

SUMMARY OF THE BIG; RACES It Would Seem toVIndlcate That the De- fender Is About Seven Minutes Faster Than the Yigilant Over the Regular Cup Course. —-.'\—————- NEW Your, Aug". 8.-—The decision of Mr. E. A. Willard~ to withdraw the Vigi- lant from all further races until the trial races on Aug. 20 and 22 was the general topic among the yachtsmen who were in town today. The consensus of opinion was that, while it was a pity that the Vigi- lant should be withdrawn, Mr. Willard was technically right. He based his action on the ground that the regatta committee on two occasions— July 22 and yesterday—had permitted the Defender to interfere with the Vigilant at the start, and in the opinion of most yachtsmen who witnessed the races there is no question that the Defender did in- terfere with the Gould boat. As Mr. Willard says, had the Defender, close hauled, suddenly eased off her sheets when holding the windward berth at the start in an international race she would undoubtedly have been justly run down by the boat to leeward. The rules plainly say that a close haul— ed yacht, when both are on the same tack, shall have the right of way over a yacht running free. Undoubtedly the regatta committee will take the right action on the Vigilant’s protest, but that that action should be so long delayed is somewhat an. noying to the general yachtsmen. The withdrawal of the Vigilant, how- ever, is disappointing, since it practically means that there will be no big sloop races until Aug. 20, the Jubilee, the Defend- er’s only other contestant, being no match for her. Summary of the Races. With all the big sloops lying at anchor today a comparison between the work on each may be in order. Thus far there have been nine races between the Defender and the Vigilant. Of these the Defender has won, by actual time, seven and lost the other two—the race from Huntington, N. Y., to New London and the Goelet cup race—only because her steering gear broke down in the former and her gaff in the latter. Nearly all of the races she has won by a comfortable margin. In the two races in which the Defender broke down she was leading the Vigilant in the first by more than two minutes and in tho second—the Goelet cup race—by 7 minutes and 36 seconds. As the De- fender has not been measured it is im- possible to estimate the corrected time, but that she really lost the Morgan cup race from Glen Cove to Huntington is pos~ sible. She won, as the table shows, on actual time by only 1 minute 49 seconds, and it is generally believed that the time allowance the Defender will have to give the Vigilant in 30 miles will be as much as two minutes._ The only other race in doubt is the first one, sailed off Sandy Hook on July 20. The Defender’s actual lead was only 2 min- utes 15 seconds. The other races were all won by more than six minutes, actual time, from the table. It is fair to assume that the De- fender is, everything taken into considera- tion, fully seven minutes faster than the Vigilant on the cup course. All the races were sailed in breezes ranging from 10 to 15 knots an hour, which are about the kind of winds likely to blow in September. The stronger the wind the faster, comparatively, the De- fender seems to be, and her strongest points are undoubtedly on a reach, either close hauled or easy, and windward work. A Point Against Torpedo Boats. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—-—There has been received at the navy department a sample of steel three-fourths of an inch in thick- ness which had been pierced by a rifle bullet of a caliber less than that of the present army rifle, or about 30. The sam- ple is interesting in that it shows that the torpedo boats may be rendered useless by good shots from such rifles. Nice Rescuers These. MARKET LAKE, Ida, Aug. 8.—It has been discovered that the robbery of houses broken into in the upper part of the valley and charged to Indians was committed b six men belonging to the rescuing par " of 15 who came from Lander to assist the settlers. The offenders were followed 35 miles and caught and stolen prOperty re- covered. Fourteen Men to Try Durant. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8.-—District At~ torney Barnes announces that for the pur- pose of avoiding delays that might arise from the sickness or death of jurors 14 jurors will be impaneled to try Durant. The attorneys on both sides have agreed to this action from the fact that the trial will last several months. - Lord Sholto Douglass’ Plans. .. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8.-—-Lord Sholto is going home. His eventful and sensa— tional visit on the coast will terminate in- side of ten. days or two weeks. He is set- tling up his business and getting his lug- gage together, and on Saturday, accom« panied by Lady Douglass, will leave'for Los Angeles. , Arrested For an Old Murder. HALIFAX, Aug. SL—Lawrence Walsh , was arrested here today charged with the murder of William McCarthy, an aged shopkeeper at St. John’s, N. F., in Janu- ary, 1894. McCarthy, who was supposed to be wealthy, lived practically alone, and the motive for the crime was evidently robbery. Jubilee May Take yigllant's Place. anronr, R. 1., Aug. &—There are in- dications that in case the Vigilant does net race tomorrow the Jubilee will start ll racing form against the Defender.
