Uncle Sam Has New Ward in Liberia

WASHINGTON An obscure chapter, it has long lain unread In American annals, In spite of the Interest that surrounds It But now thnt the United States has come to take an active hand in the government of Liberia, it is natural that the founding of that old half-American, half African-negro state should attract our interest. Founded back in 1820 as a home for the freed slaves from this country. Liberia became a republic in 1847. Today its population numbers some 60.000 Liberians along the coast, while 2.000.000 negroes run wild in the interior. No white man can acquire citizenship or own property. By an arrangement with bankers in this country, France and Germany and with the approval of Liberia and the European powers, a loan of J2.000.000 is to be floated by our government to tho end of setting straight Liberian finances and assisting the country to establish itself upon a firmer basis. The United States will have control of the little state's financial, military and agricultural departments and will administer the republic's relations. The popular accounts of the foundlag of Liberia credit the achievement somewhat vaguely to tho American Soldier of Fortune NEVER fl i GET SUCH, jA CrlAflcc IF Capt. Jorge Nelken T Waldberg, erstwhile of Argentina, pretended American, typical soldier of fortune and one of the few men who ever succeeded In selling a gold brick to one of the nation's most prominent men, does not return to Washington within the next sixty days, he is likely to lose his alleged American citizenship and be denied the protection of the American flag. Captain Waldberg flourished in Washington 12 years ago, during the Spanish-American war. and a fewyears later, at the Pan-American exposition. The captain came to Washington with a long military record. Having been born In Argentina, he has lived In half a dozen South American countries and been engaged In as many revolutions in the cause of liberty. Exiled, when unsuccessful, he dropped Into New York one day and organized a company of Greek fruit venders, whom he took to Athens, Joined the Greek army and fought In the Graeco-Turklsh war.

Puzzlers for the New Customs Court .

IF A HEN 1b not a bird, why is a pair of rubber boots an article of uoolen weRrin?; apparel? Funny question, is it not? There are many others, but this one is enough to show how Uncle Sam Is puzzled at times to properly classify imported articles so hat the correct rate of customs duties may be levied and collected. In the above case. It Is simply because (he highest customs authority of the land held that as the boots had linings In which there was an appreciable quantity of wool they should boar the rate prescribed for woolen apparol. That some bUjhent authority decided ihat frogs" legs are dutiable as poul try Tho fMfttnm; MHirt n now ludicial

FEW persons realize to what extent the welfare of this nation Is preserved by tho splendid service of the medical forces which are stationed at all the danger porta abroad to prevent the introduction of plagues and pestilences into this country through shipping agencies. This force of public health officers Is well equipped. Moreover, In all places the work of these trained experts Is further supplemented by the efforts of tho consular oflicers. In places that are too Fmall to support a trained force, but are quite large enough to transmit disease by emigration, the consular oflicers do splendid work unaided.

Samuol j Bacon, an American ninister of tha Episcopal church. By act of congress, on Moch 3, 1S19. the president wa? empowered to j create an agency in Africa for tho j purpose of providing an asylum for i such Africans as should be liberated I by our ships of war from vessels 1 seized for violation of the law suppressing the traffic in slaves.

He married a very beautiful daughter of a professor In the University of Athens and returned to America In time to take up newspaper work at the outbreak of .the Spanish-American war. Ho was able to speak several languages fluently, and especially Spanish. There was a great demand for news from Cuba, and the genius of Nelken led him to make translations from Spanish and Cuban newspapers, for which he found ready market with the Washington correspondents. His success prompted him to "fake" when his news sources became exhausted. Not long ago the captain turned up In Constantinople and became involved in some trouble there which prompted him to demand the protection of the the American flag. He presented his case at the embassy, and In endeavoring to establish the fact that he was a naturalized American citizen, some disclosures came to light regarding his papers which led the American charge

No Matter of What j Description. A woman who desires to dress well on a small Income, and It can be done must learn first of all never to have ; too many clothes on hand at once. Let her buy the things the needs, wear them out, and then buy others. It is better to have one well-fitting tailor-' made suit, keep It rigorously pressed and In order, wear it until It shows signs of wear, and then replace It , than It Is to have several Inferior : suits. As to large stocks of under- j tVear, they are only an anxiety. If not 'ooked after frequently they grow yollow or a vagrant mouse makes a nest In thpm. Styles, too. alter frequently In underwear as in outer garments; also human figures alter and grow fat sometimes, and the treasured articles won't fit when they are brought out. Äs to shoes, it Is better for the feet and better for the shoos to have several changes and wear them in rotation, but If Kboes are kept too long the leather Is apt to rot. Children's Frocks. More and more mothers are reallzIng that not only good taste, but good sense Insists upon simplicity In lit- j tie children's clothes. Furbelows aro uncomfortable, tiresome and a both- I er to the youngsters, mothers, and llkewlso the launrtress. Plain percales and galateas make very sturuy irocKs, stanuing tno knocks and rubs of Juvenilo strenuousness with great fortitude. Cherry and ginghams In dark, yet cheerful colorings make splendid lit, tie dresses for school and autumn wear. The vogue of the Dutch neck seems assured, and mothers are safe In making the little fall frocks in this sensible fashion. The New Collar Plm. It may be surprising to hear that Dutch collar pins havo gone. It Is only the name, however, that has passed. Pierrot pins have taken their place. The fan-Rhaped Pierrot pin has the advantage of following the lines of the frock where It meets the throat. Dar pins are In the ascendency. A becoming accessory to be worn with Pierrot collars Is a black velvet collarette with Jeweled ornament.
