dirty cuff," says the Lancet, and deduce
from this Incontestable truism the start
ling theory that the man who wears col
ored, shirts Is something of a sloven.
"When a man finds It convenient to
wear colored shirts and cuffs," argues the
great medical organ, "he means in reality
that he can carry dirt for a little longer
without giving offense than If he wore a
spotlessly white material." .
Though the washing bill Is reduced and
the shirts are rot so quickly Grayed by
the mechanical processes of the laundry,
the paper contends that materials which
do not compel constant change by be
coming an offense to the eye if they
are ever so slightly soiled, are, bound to
be worn too long.
By keeping his cuffs religiously clean
and constantly changing them a man re-
ducea his chances or piclcing up bacteria.
Cuffs that do not look dirty directly
they are soiled are severely condemned.
Colored handkerchiefs are declared an
abomination.
The Journal does qot condemn cuffs,
but, on the contrary, says they are an
indispensable part of the clothing of the
neatly, cleanly . dressed man but they
must always be clean and specklese.

and the latter showed almost an equal
ly sharp bulge in price. Bullish senti
ment in wheat, which has been devel

rust is worse than in 1904, and that
the crop is simply burnt up with the
heat. The advance il corn was helped
along by a dispatch which stated that

to "fire.' owing to excessively high
temperatures.

$1.01 . December at the same time
touched 97-e and September 94?ic.

the warship Indomitable, on which the

received at the admiralty today con
tained the 'welcome news that the big

MAKES YOUNG TURKS SMILE
Sultan's Former Confidant Now
Seeks Refuge with Power He
Opposed Mutiny at Adiran
Proves to Be Failure.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 4. As there
is no extradition treaty between Turkey
and Great Britain, the latter country de
clined to surrender Izzet Pasha, former
subsecretary, to the Sultan, who escaped
from Constantinople and took refuge
aboard the steamer Maria, intending to
flee to some Mediterranean port, and has
allowed the Maria to proceed. It was
reported Sunday that the Maria had been
arrested in the Dardanelles.
The Young Turks find no-objection to
Great Britain's thus protecting Izzet
Pasha, but rather are inclined to laugh
at the spectacle of a once powerful man
being reduced to the necessslty of seek
ing refuge at the hands of a power for
merly treated as a political enemy.
The attempted mutiny reported from
Adiran Sunday night turned out to be of
little consequence.

Intends to Devote Rest of Life to
Study.
NEW YORK. Aug. 4 Thomas A. Edi
son has begun to gratify an ambition
he has cherished many years, and the
laboratory at Llewellyn, N. J., will see
comparatively little of him henceforth.
Mr. Edison's ambition has been to give
himself a roving commission into puro
science and to steer clear of commer
cialism. He does not want to increase his
fortune. He has got 326,000,000, which he
thinks is more than enough. All of hli
life he has been turning out money
making inventions. He will devote his
remaining years to Investigating any
thing that strikes his fancy, without re
gard to Its financial productiveness. It
Is learned that the man who has
achieved o many marvels in electricity
has a greater love for chemistry than
electricity.
Chemistry was the first science to
captivate his wonderful Intellect, but he
has never had a chance to dig as deep
into Its mysteries as he wanted to. Now
he proposes to give himself the chance.
He has bought himself a place in Flor
ida, where he will spend a couple of
months in the late Winter and early
next year. Toward the end of thH
month he i going with his wife on a
month's trip to the Pacific Coast.
