CURRENT COMMENT.
Drinking water is so costly at Key
are drinking bottled beer as- a matter
of economy. The strangers assembled
in the place feel that they made a
great mistake in not taking a few ar-
tesian wells along with them.
Lord Wolseley, who says that the
UnitedStates can whip any nation in
Europe in the long run, must not be
taken literally. Lord Wolseley’s long
run from away up in the Red Rivg
country to Winnipeg, during the Lou'
Reil rebellion, was one that he need
not be ashamed of, so far as length
is concerned.
French representatives who insist
that their country is friendly toward
the United States explain the hostile
utterances of the Paris press by stat-
ing that the newspapers of that city
are nearly all subsidized by Spain.
This explanation is almost as mon-
strous as the offense itself.
A year hence the American navy‘wm
be in good shape for any contingency.
The Navy Department is ready for
bids on three first-class battle-ships,
torpedo-boat destroyers and twebve
torpedo boats. Five heavily armOred
cruisers of the swiftest . class will-
probably be added. The torpedo; boats ‘
are to be as fast as' any in the world.
All these are in addition to the for-
midable vessels now under construc-
tiEn'. was»: a "’i—"N’~‘“i‘e‘lg=:-'- a. 33,,2, K .
In England, hereafter, the Victoria
Cross, which heretofore has bought to
its recipient honor and famepbut noth-
ing more, will carry withitan annual
pension of $250. It will thus‘kcep its
proud wearer out of the p00rhouSe,-
and make those who have it not strive I
harder than ever to mrn it. Such a
method of rewarding merit has several I
excellent arguments in its faVOr, but
they are of more weight in. England'
than here, where a pension awaits ev- i
cry soldier who deserves one.
One point to remember about heav-
ily armored battle-ships is that they
cruisers built for long. swift runs.
Their business is to take the hard
knocks of ofiense and defense, and
their great weight reduces their speed.
But some of the latest enormous Eng-
lish battle—ships are good for nineteen
knots. ‘ . _ 1

composed ,of. our five battle-ships, if
pushed. coma make that distance. The
Maine was the swiftest American bat-
The orders for warships’placed by
the Russian government in this coun-
try include not only the first-class bat~
tlesliip and first-class cruiser, but also'
ten torpedo b0at destroyers. Vessels
of ”the last named type have not yet
been constructed in American yards,
although some are now under way
and others have been ordercdpbut it
is evidently the belief of the imperial
naval officials that the Yankees are
fully equal to building successful ships
of any type. And that is true enough.
There has never been a time in the
history of American shipbuilding that
we did not exceli’European‘competi-
tors. Not content with imitating, we
always improve, if we do not create.
The formal recognition by. this gov-
ernment of the legal status of the
American National Red Cross settles
all doubts as to the comprehensive
functions of that organization in car-
ing for the Sick and wounded soldier,
and clears the way for the concentra-.
tion and unifiéation of all efforts to
that end. Thus the proper and efli~
cient channel is opened for collecting
and distributing contributions from all
classes of individuals and from every
variety of auxiliary association.
The American National Red Cross
Relief Committee, acting directly un-
der the auspices Of the American Na-'
tional Red Cross, has virtually suc-
ceeded, 'in view of the recent negotia-
tions with the government, in becom-
ing the properly accredited financial
representative of the parent organiza-
tion. In view of the high business
standing of the members of the com-
mittee there can be no question that
the funds will be properly appropri-
ated for the purposes intended, and it
only now remains for the Red Cross,
through this committee and its numer-
ous and energetic women auxiliaries,
to rise to its opportunities and to
prove its fitness fer the emergency by
prompt and useful work.
There is now no longer any ques-
tion where the Red Cross stands and
what are its privileges. It not only
takes the place in this country of the
Sanitary Commission of bygone times,
but is more expansive in its aims and
more amplified in its purposes. With
its grand mission of humanity and
neutrality there is. no benevolence it
cannot compass” no, charity , it cannot
broadenmo sympathy ‘it. cannot. deep-
en and no mercy it cannot stretch.
Its flag, protected by international
treaty, is the sacred emblem of help-
and proudly floats at the fore, of ad-
vancing Christian civilization. ,

' Smart Traveling Gowns.
The navy and army blue sci-gas, fou- '
lords, mohairs, and light-weight cos-
tume cloths are made into stylish tal-
lor-costumes for traveling and general
wear, that hold their own against all
the endless smart and novel gowns
which the present season has produced.
., . A Clever Ruse. _
At S'cotch weddings, some years -ago,
it used to be the custom to batter the
hat of the bridegroom at‘ he was leav-
ing the house in which the ceremony
took place. On one of those occasions
a newly married couple—relatiVes of
the bridegroom—determined to carry
out the Observances of this custom to
' the letter.
The bridegroom heard them discuss-
ing their plans, and despatched a mes-
senger to the carriage—which stood
waiting—with his hat‘ some time pre-
vious to his departure. 'Then donning
the hat of a male relative who ' had
plotted against him—a new silk chim-
ney pot of the latest style—he prepared
to go out to the carriage. '
No sooner had he'got to the. door A
than his hat was furiously assaulted,
and almost destroyed. He walked out
of the house amid the laughter of the
bystanders and entered the ‘ vehicle;
then, taking't‘he battered hat from his.
head, he threw it into the hands of its
proper owner, exclaiming:—
“Hey, McDougall, there’s your hat!"
and donned his own, amid the cheers of
. all preSent.
Fancy Grenadines.
The fancy ‘grenadines are lovely this"
year, as indeed are all the new grenae
dines, for never was there such a won-
derful and beautiful variety. Very
elegant, also, are the silk nets, and dif-
ferent importing houses show different
treatment of these handsome textiles.
At one establishment the black net is
in princesses form, over a. sheath-
shaped slip 'of Tcherry-red moire.” At
another noted house the beautiful black
net has a foundation of ivory satin
with bodice trimmings of white lisse
almost covered with black guipure lace ' '
sprays and insertions. .A third gown is
decorated all over with, cut jet bow-
knots, garlands, arabesques, and
scrolls. This gown is made up over
nasturtium satin, and the collar and
girdle are of briliant orange velvet. _.
For Slender Women.
Less of the opaque white fabrics are
shown among the season’s patterned
transparents than those in“ cream,
canary, and~Spanish yellow, willow
green, ciel- blue, reseda, rose, and vio-
let in exquisite tintings. In making up
these textiles the greater portion show
an airy overdress, loose from its gored
underskirt, but united at the top, one
belt holding both skirts. Less diaphan-
ous looking toilets for rather stout wo-
men show the- outside skirt sewed in
with each gored breadth of the un-
derskirt. The very popular frills and
flounces must likewise be eschewed and
the narrow ruche substituted; for‘none
but tall, slender women look well in
frilled skirts.
Rain Water for Blankets. ‘
A city housekeeper contrives to have
rainwater to wash her blankets before
putting them away for the summer.
She does this by tapping the eaves—
pipe, using a large clean barrel to hold
the water. ' It should not be put under~
during a shower, but after a steady rain
has washed the soot and dirt from the
roof, and the water is flowing clean.
Nothing is better than this kind of
water for the blankets. It is" easy to
manage their washing at home with a
little care. ‘ Some housekeepers put
them in a pair a week, but if an odd
day towards the latter end of the week
is taken, it can all be done at once.
The Wasp Post.
This is the moment when in coun-
try homes a little preventive action
will be productive of much comfort in
relation to the wasp pest. These ,bel-
ligerent little insects have by this tim/e
appeared and located themselves in
their nooks in the. crevices of piazza-
railings and stone house foundations.
In one of the tracts. issued from‘dhe
Entomological Department at Wash-
ington, it is advised .to watch when the
hole is full at night of the wandering
insects and then pour a generous dose

‘ ' FIRST, on 'THE KLDNDIKE
GOLD MINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PRICE OF SHARES T0 BE ADVANBED AUGUST 3|, I898»
Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer of the Klondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conscrvativé and successful finan-
ciers of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields.
‘ _ To this Company he has transferred placer claims on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “ Marguerite” Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the
Klondike, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.
‘ The Company also owns the S. S. " Morgan City” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured. The U. S. Government
- reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
. in the open season, sales price of which is from $140 to $240 per 1,000 feet
according to class. A
‘ CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY. ,_
, Preferred Stock, 6* cumulative, $1,000,000
’. Common Stock, 4,000,000
Total Capital, par value. 510 per share, $5,000,000
The preferred stock has a first lien on earnings for its dividend,
*- and on the assets of the Company for its par value, and after all the
stock of the Company has received 6 per cent, the surplus earnings are
shared pro rata by the preferred and common stock.
Thus the preferred stock practically offers the safeguards and advantages
of a first mortgage bond, coupled with an earning capacity as great as that of
the common stock.
The undersigned has obtained a short option on a block of this preferred
stock which he now offers at par, $10.00 per share. This option terminates
August 3131:, 1898, after which the price of the preferred stock will be
advanced by the Company to $12.50 per share.
This is the last opportunity to get the preferred stock at par, and
in time to participate in the autumn dividend. Shares‘ will be alloted in the
order subscriptions are received.
