A noldlcr stationed at Fort Ilran dy, Mich., near Sault Ste. Marie, while tiring on a deserter who waa attempting to escape arrest, miad his mark and killed a Canadian girl who was cros sing tho reservation. Remembering the trouble which the Homer (irafton ease caused, the military authorities im mediately placed the man who did the shooting under arrest, and he will be tiled by court martial. The civil au thorltlcM have In the meantime deinivn- ded Ida surrender1 for trial In the State courts, but this was refused by the War Department. Notwithstanding that the alrooting occurred on a military reser vation, the civil authorities claim juris diction by reason of the fact that the country im ut pence and the military therefore should be subservient. How ever, tho Supreme Court af the United States established a precedent in its' Je ciion of the Grafton caso, and the State courts will not b3 allowed to have cus tody of the man, The Grafton ease, it will be remembered, centered round bin hooting of two Filipinos on a. govern ment reservation nhd his subsequent conviction for manslaughter by the civil courts after his 'acquittal by court mar tial. The case 'was appealed and even tually the Supremo Court held that the second trial wa illegal in that the de fendant was twice in jeopardy for tho same act. Contained in five short lines in a con- uW report this Week is to be found a whole sermon on the benefits of water transportation. The gist of the matter is a comparison of ftitei on galvantaed Iron and cement from England to Jo-: hannesburg. The report is made by Consul R. F, Mosher, of Elizabeth, Cape Colony. It seems that the cost of trans porting galvanised iron ifrom England to Natal, seven thousand miles, is $0.07 per toni' The charge bv rail on the ship ment from Natal to Johannesburg, 403 miles, is $20.77, or more than four tlmea as much,' although the distance by sea is nearly fifteen times as great. From and to the same places, a barrel of cement coats $.08 ami $4.78, respectively.

A novel bit of lingerie is the Parisian collur of fine, white linen, tbe upper part tucked rortlcally In groups of three narrow tucks. Halfway of Its length tho tucks are released and the fullness flares out, giving tbe effect of waving frill, making It much more becoming than the rigid outline of a straight band of starched linen. .More and more one sees delicate bits of eokred contrast used In embroideries on turnover collars and rabats, In col ored edges on the butterfly neckties and frilly front pjaljs tbat go wltb a cerlaiu style 0 wash blouse tbat la a great favorite wltb tbe younger girls.

Huch blr.arro sleeves are being worn, aoine of them being drawn down under the high belt and fastened with but tons to the aklrt, some draped across on to the back of tbe bodice.

This saving to shippers in the United States would be much great er were the waterways of the country developed so as to admit of ateady navi gation. The National Riven & Har bors Congress is working to this end, and is urging upon Congress the neces sity 'for appropriating $50,000.0X) a year to prosecute such work. The organi zation's special director, John A. Fox, at present is visiting the various sections of the country seeking the moral and financial aupport of cities, communities and shipper; its secretary, Capt. J. F. Ellison of Cincinnati, also is at work In endeavoring to increase membership so that the influence of the organization mn,y lie made more potent by the time the Sixtieth Congress convenes. With the christening of the new bat- tleship Utah, the Navy Department will have exhausted its stock list of names for Uncle Sam's big war croilt, and will have to face a serious problem of find ing suitable names for the battleships of the future. Although the United States possesses only 29 battleships, ev ery State except Utah at present has a namesuke among our navy. This is ex plained 'by the fact that only recently have the namea of States been reserved for battleships j prior to the enactment of the law providing that only battle ships should bear the name of States, It waa the practice to use the names for vessels of other clnssea. To change the names of alt vessels bearing State names would call forth all the supersti tious Ifears which a sailor feels conceiv ing a ship that hag been renamed, and it is therefore likely that Congress will . be asked, to deokle what shall be done in the 'matter of naming the battleships , which it may authorize to be built.
