Stale's rights, It can fcardly attain the
magnitude of the Xorth Carolina con
flict. 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. These J

ly starcbod piece of neckwear is re
garded. 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.
Colored bordered and embroidered
handkerchief are equally popular, and
these, by the way, are easily trans
formed Into bewltcblngly pretty neck
flxluga.
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. They are
more like draperies than sleeves.

ribbon In very dark colors la among
tba smart decorations, but when light
er colors are used they are a shade
darker than tbe material.
Gowns of chiffon cloth often bave
trimmings of coarse embroidery out
lined wltb little traceries of black
glace nnuon. Un a wmte moaei auorc
ed wltb vandyked flounces of coarse

figures are enlightening, and bear out
the contention made by the National
Rivers 4 Harbor Congress, which has
discovered that the difference between
ri'il and watce rates in this country is
practk-ally aa great, water transporta
tion on the everage being one ixth of
that by rail, and, on the Great Lakes,
muck lesi. 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. I

But Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy Cured Him.
It is with pleasure that I rive vou
this unsolicited testimonial About a
year ago when I had a severe case of
measles I got caught out In a hard rain
and the measles settled in my stomach
and bowels. I had an awful time and
had it not been for the use of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
remedy, I could not have possibly lived
but a few hours longer, but thanks to
this remedy I am now strong and well.
I have written the above through aimple
gratitude and I shall always speak a
good word for this remedy. Sam H.
