THE RIGHT MOVE
Commendable indeed was the action
taken by the city council at last nights'
meeting in the unaminous passage of
the resolution looking towards the con
demnation of the Astoria hotel ruin. As
stated id The Alaskan recently there Is
no single cause which has a tendency to
injure Skagway so much as the aban
doned shacks of the town's boom days.
Of co service to anyone, eye-sores to
the community and a constant danger
from tires tbe sooner the city causes
their removal the better will it be for
every one concerned.
THE THAW WOMAN
Silly sentimentallity is again being
Indulged in by some western papers
over the Thaw woman and it Is grow
ing viry wearisome. Evelyn Xesbit
belongs to that class of girls who seem
predestined to barter oil all that is io
life worth while for the crimson mid
night pleasures of New York's great
walte way. Evelyn was early learned
in the big school of life's experience;
long before she met Stanford White
she had been an artists model, and her
poses in "the altogether" even now
decorate mar.y of the barrooms of the
upper Tenderloin. The pleadings of
her mother were always defied by the
girl. She wss headstrong, a heavy
consumer of champagne auJ a leader of
early morning bacchanalian orgies.
For several years she had been making
heavy drains on Stanford White's
exchequer? in tact she ceased to oe bis
mistress only when she ^bought tbe
Tbaw millions would be a more fertile
financial field for her. Had the girl
listened to her old mother's pleadings
the result, of course would have been
very different, but it serves no good
purpose 10 s?y what might have been
The Thaw wo(n>m is just wh.tt she
made herself.
HAS ADVANTAGE
The w.fe of Peputy Paymaster Gen
eral William F. Tucker, who is a daugh
ter of Mrs. John A. Logan, Is seeding a
divcce from her husband and has re
quests 1 the war department to investi
gate as to General Tucker's actions
while stationed in the Philippines, and
at Chicago, where he is now in service.
Being the wife of an army officer may
have its disadvantages, but when they
wantadivorce.it comes pretty handy
to be able to "sic" the war department
upon the offending husband to help get
evidence and arouse public sympathy.
% ' What can we do to improve the
present method of dancing, it Is merely
hugging set to music," declares an In
diana minister. He might try cutting
out the music.
James Bull and Annie Lamb were
married in Galena last week. This w ill
be the occasion of future generations
boasting of tne good stock thev sprang
from.
An Atlanta negro his been arrested
on a charge of stealing a tombstone,
says an exchange. That is a grave
charge.
1 Gov. Hughes Is going on the lecture
platform. Well, that eliminates him
from the race.

Twenty Race*, Worth About $72,000.
Many Two-year-old*.
With the eastern turf season almoat

en a commanding lead ou tbe winulng

blue spots.
Tbe stable, made up this season In
Its entirety of horses bred under the
supervision of Major Dalugerticld on
Mr. Keene's Castleton farm at Lexing
ton, Ivy., has led the winuiug list for
the past several years, and on the re
sults achieved so far this season will

struggle to equal or pass It.

COOKERY SUGGESTIONS.
How Tomjtoos and Cucumbers Can Bo
U??d In 6alada.
Take a good thick slice of tomato
and lay It ou shredded lettuce. Mluce
tome cucumber, heap upon It some
parsley or watercress and serve with
oil and vinegar dressing. If preferred,
use a half tomato for each person,
with the pulp loosened and mixed
with the cucumber. A bit of celery
cut up with these Is nice, or some cel
ery salt.
Quite a new Idea Is that of U3lng
some apple with tomato and other
thlugs for filling. It fits in well with
celery, being more tender, and does
not dominate, but assists In blending
flavors of the divers things often used
with tomatoes for sahid. Of course 11
Is common to use Just apple and celery
or apple and nuts, but try the apple
with tomato.
In stuffing tomatoes with crumbs try
some walnut catchup to give a nice
flavor. Be sure to season and drain
your tomatoes before stuffing them.
Scoop them out and turn them down
after salting the Inside well. This
makes a lot of the watery part disap
pear. Then before filling dust In pep
per and red pepper. Cook the fllllng,
especially If onion goes Into It, else the
tomatoes will bake before the onion Is
tender. Fried onion gives a better
taste than plain raw chopped onion In
the filling. Some grated corn or the
kinds that come freed from all hulls
may be used for stuffing tomatoes. In
stead of thickening stewed tomatoes
with bread many persons prefer to
combine tomatoes with the kinds of
rorn that hsve no hulls left.
Why not "tVy a tomato and cheese
salad. Instead of passing cheese with
a salad course? Simply slice the to
matoes as usual and arrange them In
the salad dish with a layer* of grated
cheese. I'se pleuty of French dress
lug and chill thoroughly. Serve with
toasted crackers, bread sticks or pulled
bread.
IDEAL SUMMER BEDROOMS.
Avoid Glaring Paper? and Select Com- !
fortable Furniture For the Cottage.
Iu the summer cottar It Is a pretty ,
Idea to have each bedroom papered |
with a design showing clusters'" of
some flower. One country house In
the .suburbs has a guest room facing
north In violet. The matting Is lilac,
the paper Is white with clusters of
violets over It. and old fashioned fur
ulture Is mahogany and the fireplace
and woodwork of white enamel. All
through the season a bowl of violets
Is left on the table In this cheerful |
room.
Another guest room In this bouse has :
a forgetmenot wall paper above n white .
picture shelf and blue burlap frieze. :
In a seashore cottage care must be j
taken to avoid glaring walls In the j
! >eil rooms, oil of which, by the way.
should be furnished with shades If
there are no a'wulngs.
Kuch guest room should have a com
fortable chair, a rocker or an armchair,
even If there Is little more thau neces
sary furniture in the room. With a
bureau or chiffonier and a good look
lng glass, a comfortable chair and a
bed, the average summer visitor Is
well content, for the afternoon siesta
Is really the only part of the day spent
In one's own apartment.
beauty talks.
With the sleeves of today, as much
attention ought to l>e paid to the ap
pearance of the nrrus a* to the com
plexion or hair.
Too many women take a discouraged
view of their ugly arms and think that
there Is no use trying to do anything
for them. On the contrary, bony el
tiov.-s and skinny forearms can be
mu'-h Improved If a certain amount of
tronlile 1* taken.
Ilere Is the way that one woman
made her >irms look? not quite like
:ie<v. but certainly quite presentable.
First she would fill a basin with water
is hot as she could bear It. putting Into
it some borax, a few drops of benzoin
ind n handful of oatmeal. After
holdhis her arms In the water for
about two minutes she used a rub
ber sponge on them to wake up the
skin, ami just a bit of pumice on the
ruugh sKin of the elbow.
Treat Your Feet Well.
If you want to possess a buoyant
walk, treat your feet admirably. Give
them careful attention and keep them
good ui;tured.
If you neglect your feet, they'll an
swer you with an ache or with a cal
lous sput that Is a fretful reminder of
vour carelessness.
If you thluk about your f rt, you'll
agree that they put up with a lot of
imposition before they verge Into pee
vishness and pain.
But there's a limit to thetr patience.
If you go beyond that Jlmlt with care
less treatment of them, you'll discover
they will get even with you by means
of aching joints and corns and bun
vons. You'll have good reason for hob
bling along Instead of walking buoy
antly.
You need to have your feet In first
rate health all the time, therefore, be
good to them.
A Useful Wrinkle.
Sometimes the upper or lower part of
fountain pens become so tightly
screwed that, being unable to refill
them, they are Pu* aside as useless.
If a kid glove Is put on the right hand
before attempting to unscrew the sec
tion will be found to turn quite easily.
