The cruiser Rainbow, it la announced, will soon start from Portsbouth for the Pacific coast of Canada j ter having been thoroughly overjluLuled and inspected under the authority of the British Admiralty.

It Is not expected that it will be at all jdifflcult to obtain the necessary officers and men in Canada when it becomes necessary to enlist them. It Is interesting to note that the first proposal to construct a drydock of large dimensions under the legislation of last session has been made by the English firm of Vickers & Maxim, rhich has filed plans at Ottawa for srorks at Montreal covering fifty acres and costing two and a half million dollars. The construction of torpedo destroyers has long been a specialty irith this celebrated firm, but far more Important for this country is the building and repairing of steel ve sels of large size. The introduction of such a plant will mark a new stage Li the evolution of shipbuilding In Canada.

The Chicago public school authorities are preparing to establish a new liigh school course of two years, foi the benefit of pupils who for financial reasons can remain no longer in the high schools. It Is believed that by doing this many pupils who now. go out into the business world from the district schools could be induced to take a special course of two years arranged with a view to their future employment. The development 13 In line with effort to strengthen the public echools as Institutions for the preparation of young men and women for the practical work of life, and its outcome will be noted with Interested by educators.

Look over a crowd of men In any jlace and it will be seen that black and the darker colors predominate in their clothes, no matter how hot the weather. Besides being unnecessarily uncomfortable they exert & depressing effect upon both wearer and beholder. A freer use of colors In men's clothing would make the world a brighter place for most of us.

IOWA REPUBLICANS MEET IN WARM STATE CONVENTION

President Taft Is Given a Weak Indorsement in the Platform Cummins Scores Tariff Law. Des Moines, la. Following a day of bitter factional controversy marked by hisses and cat-calls for United States senators and ex-congressmen, the Iowa Republican conentlon came to a close after adopting a platform and nominating candidates for the supreme bench and superintendent of public instruction and naming a state central committee. The resolutions as adopted dismiss consideration of the president with the clause, "We indorse such efforts as President Taft and his advisers have made to fulfill the promises of the national platform." They reaffirm their loyalty to the platform of 1908 but do not recognize the revision of 1909 as a satisfactory fulfillment of the party promise and therefore favor the creation of an independent non-partisan tariff committee to secure facts regarding imports and urge revision of schedule's separately. They commend Senators Dolllver and Cummins for "their work upon the tariff bill, the railroad bill and the postal savings bill." They commend the action of the house in revising the rules. They indorse the anti-trust law and recommend it be given additional strength to meet the devices of modern industry. They favor the fixing of a physical valuation on railroads in order to secure effective control of rates and a complete system of accounting. They favor amendments to the postal savings law to keep the money deposited with the government within the communities where deposited.- They favor conservation of natural resources. They Indorse the primary law. They promise there would be no backward steps along prohibition lines in Iowa. They demand election of United States senator by direct vote of the people. They insist on a readjustment of the representation of Republicans in national convention. They favor an Income tax, and favor co-operation of the national government In enlarging the usefulness of the system of public education. Under the primary law, the nominations for state officers were made at the primaries in June excepting for supreme Judges and superintendent ol public instruction, in the latter office there not being a majority vote. Judge Evans of Fort Dodge and Judge H. M. Deemer of Red OaK were renominated for the supreme bench. A. M. Deyce of Garner was nominated for the office of superintendent of public instruction. The new state committee is composed of six Insurgents and five stalwarts and C. F. Franke of Parkersburg will be continued state chairman. Senator Cummins, as temporary chairman, threw the convention Into disorder when he named the party of "Lincoln, of Grant, of Roosevelt," ignoring President Taft. Former Congressman Lacey, a standpatter, walked Into the center aisle crying "Taft, Taft, Taft," in which he was Joined by his fellowstalwarts. Senator Cummins was very emphatic in his declaration that the tariff bill as It stood needed considerable revision to make it right. He also warned the country against going too fast on the central-bank idea. SWANSON APPOINTED TO SENATE Governor Mann Names Former Executive to Replace Senator Daniel. Richmond, Va.

SCORES ARE SAVED.

Passengers and Crew Escape From Sinking Steamship Off Alaska. Juneau, Alaska. The Canadian Pacific steamer Princess May struck the north peer of Sentinel islet and sank within two hours. The panic-stricken passengers aboard were loaded into light boats and conveyed ashore in safety. Again the wireless played a prominent part in the wreck. Within an hour after the Princess May ran on the reef every wireless station along the coast had recorded appeals for aid. Two fast cutters reached Sentinel islet before the funnels of the ship disappeared beneath the water. Impenetrable fog and gloom enveloped the Princess May when she struck with a crash on the north reef, tearing out almost her entire bottom. The passengers and many of the crew were In their berths, and a wild rush for the decks followed the splintering and grinding as the rocks tore through the vessel's hull. Women were among the passengers and they added to the uproar with their screams as they tried to climb into the lifeboats even before they were freed from the davits. Captain McLeod, who was in his berth when the ship struck, ordered the boat crews to work and drove the passengers back to the cabins for their valuables.

fHE CRITICS WENT WRONG

Beerbohm Tree Tells a Story to Sustain His Low Opinion of Some Dramatic Reviewers. "Beerbohm Tree," said a Philadelphia critic, "has no very high opinion of dramatic criticism, and he tells a iittle story to back up his point of view. "Tree at the beginning of his career undertook the part of the blind Colonel Challlce in 'Alone Tree was a very nervous man in those days. He was always forgetting his lines. But as the blind colonel he seemed destined to be particularly nervous, and therefore he arranged with the prompter that on the first night, whensver he forgot a speech he should snap his fingers as a signal for help. "The first night came, and Tree forgot his lines continually. His fingers snapped all through the show like an unending package of firecrackers. He thought his career was doomed, but the next morning all the critics said of him unanimously: " JJr. Tree's artistic study of the blind Colonel Challice was a revelation. Never before have the habits and thoughts of the blind been so carefully analyzed and so faithfully portrayed. The entire study was perfect, even down to the nervous twitching of the fingers (Mr. Tree's appeal to the prompter) 'and the anxious listening' (to catch the prompter's voice) 'as though loss of sight made hearing all the more dear.' " Fishing for Hawks. It Is ,not often the fortune of a fisherman to catch a hawk with hook and line, but Each an experience befell G. L. Freudenberger of Melbourne, Pa. Mr. Freudenberger is an enthusiastic disciple of Izaak Walton and every spring goes into the Pocono region for a few days' sport with the brook trout A few weeks ago he was whipping one of the small streams that have made the region famous as a trout fishing resort, and with hip boots was wading in the icy spring water, casting his small, feathered flies into every likely looking pool, when suddenly, in the middle of a long cast, he felt his rod Jerk and the line buzzed through the reel fast enough to burn his tackle. He quickly looked into the air and saw the hook and flies had been mistaken for an insect by a large sharpshinned hawk, which was doing his best to fly away with the whole outfit, man included. Taking in the situation at a glance and excited with the novelty of his catch, Freudenberger played the hawk as he would a fish. After a fight of over one-half hour the bird became exhausted and fluttered to the ground, when the fisherman picked it up, extracted the hook from its mouth and set it free, a sadder but a wiser bird. His Name Cause of Suicide. Very queer is the story which related of a workman to whom an oldfashioned name had been given when he was baptized. His comrades made such fun of the name that they ended by driving the poor man ill. When he returned home on Saturday he found a cruel jest scrawled on the wall of the house where he dwelt, and having accused a fellow worklngman 'of the trick he got sadly beaten in the fight that followed. He then went 'to his room, wrote on a scrap of pa:per: "My, silly godfather was an idiot, 'and is the cause of my death," and Jianged himself. Life was quite ex-' Itlnct when his wife came home some hours later. Paris correspondent, Lon'don Telegraph. Mending an Umbrella.

Ignacio, Cal. Thirteen persons were iilled and at least twelve were injured Rhen the regular evening passenger :rain from ' San Francisco to Santa Rosa on the Northwestern Pacific railway was struck by a special engine and caboose a mile and a half south of Ais place.

Several, it is reported, were delegates to the state convention l Red Men, which meets at Santa Rosa. The wreck occurred at a sharp :urve. The passenger train was trav?ling at a speed of forty miles an hour and the special train was also going at fair speed. At the office of the train lispatcher the Information was given ut that one of the conductors had made a mistake in his orders and tailed to take a siding. From the smoking car came shrieks ind groans. It seemed that the passengers in the smoker between twentyIve and thirty men had been caught !n a sitting position and those who were not killed were unable to help themselves. Efforts to open windows Jr remove the broken timbers were fruitless. Work on the rear half of the imoker was easier. Some of the rescuers scattered to nearby houses to :elephone for help, while others sought !o get the injured out of the wreck. A headless corpse was found, lying by the side of the track. Another body was found in a sitting position in a window of the smoker. Horse Falls Into Manhole. Cincinnati, Ohio. Slipping hind feet foremost into a manhole that led to a conduit, a struggling horse endangered the gas, electric light and traction systems of the downtown section of Cincinnati for more than an hour. The conduit carried pipes and feed wires and the iron clad hoofs thrashing about among these. tore the insulation and threatened to short-circuit the wires or communicate the electric current to the Iron pipes full of gas. 1 glance showed that he was resting cn a bed of electric wires. Alarms were sent to the fire and police departments, the electric light, gas and traction headquarters, and as the various wagons and repair equipments raced to the place a crowd that blocked the thoroughfares for several squares gathered. Finally a heavy derrick was rigged over the manhole and the animal was hoisted out. Although nearly choked to death in the process, "Gray Jim" disdained to ride in an animal ambulance and walked back to . the Btable cheered by thousands of spectators in a manner that the winner of a derby might envy. Ninety Million Is Population. Washington, D. C It will be about the middle of October before people of the United States learn their true number, as revealed by the official count of the thirteenth census. It Is generally believed that the number will be about 30,000,000, and census officials are known to share in this general belief, although officially they know nothing about it. This belief is based on the fact that an Increase slightly in excess of the 13,000,000 increase during the previous period would bring the population in 1910 to the 90,000,000 mark.
