Paris, July 8.—President Roose yelt’s decision to dispatch a fleet of warships to the Pacific has led the more sensational newspapers in France to jump at the conclusion that the situation is more delicate than ap- pears on the surface.

The success of the Jews as a race is largely due to their regulation of marriage.

The servant has a flat fan, made of rough paper, to blow the charcoal fires with, or use as a dustpan. The farmer has a stout fan to winnow his grain. Still another variety is made of waterproof paper, which, dipped in water, creates a pleasant coolness by evaporation without wetting the clothes. Peace can be secured in more ways than one. The method adopted by the American army in Cuba is worth thinking about, says Youth’s Compan- ion. The soldiers, who™have had no fighting to do, have been engaged in making a topographical map of the island, upon which the roads and trails are indicated plainly. The ob- ject is to give the war department Washington such a knowledge of th country that in the event of another ‘war the guerrillas cannot hide in any mountain fastnesses, the key to which none but Cubans possessed. One hundred American clergymen are now in Paris, but we have our doubts whether even that number will constitute a sufficient leaven of right eousness to leaven the whole loaf in that famous city of frolicsome Satan.

The bedding {a useful only as a breeding place for vermin, and we were assured they made good use of their opportunity.

Japs Working on Manila Fortifications are Discharged. Manila, P.I., July 8.—All of the Japanese working on the fortifica- tions and around the Olongapo and Cavite naval stations have been dis- charged, ‘including experts who have been in the service for some years. It is asserted by officers stationed here that the orders for this action came direct from Washington, and ere peremptory. When interviewed, Rear Admiral Hemphill and other naval officers denied that any extraordinary pre- p3rations were under way. Men who have watched the situation here, however, including those high tn of- ficial life, believe, that Gen. Wood and Rear Admiral Hemphill are carrying out plans to put the defenses of Manila and the two im- portant nation stations in the Phil- ippine islands on a “war basis.” Real Estate Transfers Mary A Jones to Geo Templeton In view of the arrangement and ' pt lot 7 blk 55 Rich Hill $500. conditton of the building we think } Plerce Hackett to Mary F Hayes tbe matron {s to be commended for | 10 a sec 22 Homer $1. the patience and care sheevidently) A L Chamberlain to M McCall lots gives the inmates. 1 & 2 bik 99 Foster $875.
