CO On Marriage and Divorce. Mrs. John A. Logan Tells how Unhappy Unions May be Avoided. VOL. XII. On Marr Divo Mrs. John A. Logan Unions May So much has been written and said about divorces that one would think that there would be an abatement of the evil. On the contrary there seems an increase in the number who resort to the courts as a cure for unhappiness in their domestic relations. Women are usually held responsible for the conditions which lead to the divorce courts, and while it cannot be claimed that women are guiltless in many cases at the same time, in the language of the sportsman, men are rapidly becoming close seconds, and likely to be chief derelicts in their duty and loyalty to their martial vows. Sage advisers have attributed this increase of recreant husbands to the too rapid accumulation of riches. Statistics will doubtless show that there are more divorces among the wealthy leisured class than among the class who must work together for the support of families, and to maintain their respectability in the community. If, in the first place, marriage was contracted on the true basis of love for each other, some powerful influence must have been wrought to disenchant a true wife with her husband, or an honorable, faithful husband with his wife, who is probably the mother of his children. A holy love does not wither with the flight of time, nor does death loosen the chains that bind it to its object. It is born in heaven, and is so ennobling that it can know no change. It idealizes the object upon which it is centered and prompts a thriving for the perfect and true. Persons so united are not likely to allow anything to come between them from their wedding day to the day of the death of one or the other. But sometimes, through the acquisition of riches allowing too much leisure, they drift under the ban of the old adage there is always "something evil for idle hands to do." They are taken off their guard by the blandishments of the designing who are ever on the watch for the unwary. If people would have the courage to nip in the bud the first symptoms of State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATI RACI ORAD HE JOURNA iage and force. Tells how Unhappy be Avoided.

The fatal beginning of intimacies, with others than one's wife or husband, the contrasting of the charms, abilities capabilities of virtues and personal appearance of these special friends; manifesting enjoyment in their society; growing indifferent to that of one's wife or husband; exchanging photographs—having these photographs on one's desk, library or dressing table—are dangerous things to do, notwithstanding they seem innocent trifles. Sooner or later they work serious changes in the affections and before many realize it the husband or wife has been supplanted and two people are wretchedly unhappy and the person who came between them usually gloats over the mischief he has done. The church may establish canons and make decrees, the state and national legislative bodies may pass uniform laws on the question, but they will avail nothing so long as the church sanctions and the laws legalize unholy first marriages. It would not be saying too much to say that there is scarcely a minister or bishop or cardinal who has not repeatedly solemnized marriages which he know should not be solemnized. He knew that the parties to the marriage contract were unequally yoked, that there existed moral reasons why they should not be joined in holy wedlock and yet he pronounced them man and wife, and added "whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder." In brief, a time in all too many cases the man or the woman has come to the divine to seek advice—dissapation and general bad conduct, addiction to the drug or alcohol habit of one or the other furnishing grounds for separation or divorce. The sequel in more than one instance might have been told on the wedding day, and so the world goes. One cannot say that no divorces shall be granted. Shall women endure to the end the brutality, unfaithfulness and tortures of bestial, profligate husband? Shall men tolerate the despicable conduct of some women? Shall they allow faithless, unworthy wives to drag their names and their reputations to the very depths of disgrace and degradation, and do nothing to free them from such incubuses? There are questions that make wise men and women ponder. Instead of discussing the divorce question, begin a crusade against improper marriages, lay the ax at the root of the tree of discord and divorce. Try to convert people to right living and to a higher sense of the marriage relation. If, unfortunately, cases arise where two people cannot live together on account of the degeneracy of one or the other, let them divide their earthly effects, force the husband to provide for maintenance of the wife and the children, if there be children, before granting a divorce. Make it a criminal offense for either to marry a co-respondent in any case but if the innocent party in the divorce case-subsequently meets a person with whom he could live happily there should be no bar to their marriage provided they have discharged faithfully the legal and moral duties toward the divorced husband or wife. Men and women who are parties to marriage contracts are the only persons who can bring about reform of the divorce question. They must be converted to the principle that marriage is a holy estate and should not be entered into lightly, and once contracted should not be lightly thrown aside The whole country is greatly shocked over the conduct of one of the officials of the Carnegie Steel companies, who, from published reports, has driven his wife to the last extremity—the divorce court. Every effort of friends of both the husband and the wife has failed to bring about a reformation of the husband and a reconciliation between him and his wife. It is a clear case of a man's degeneracy and intoxication through too rapid accumulation of wealth. The most charitable will assuredly insist that the man in this case be treated with contempt and be completely ostracized from the society of which he was once an honored member. Too severe punishment cannot be inflicted upon a man who would deliberately and cruelly estrange himself from a devoted wife who has done nothing to forfeit her husband's affections. One of the most important legislative acts to inaugurate reform would be to pass laws illegalizing divorces procured by a brief sojourn in any state where the person seeking a divorce is not a bonafide residence. People should be obliged to sue for divorce in the state where they were married, or where they had lived for a number DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1906. of years and where they intended to retain their legal residence. Persons should be prohibited from securing a divorce who have not been married at least five years. Such legislation would hinder, if it did not cure, this monstrous evil. It would not be so easy to pass through the courts where the parties were both well known, and there would be fewer hasty marriages if it were impossible to obtain a hasty divorce. Another crime is being repeated over and over again. Innocent girls are sometimes betrayed by men who promise to marry them and thereby get control of their affections, and then ruin them. Their friends sometimes step in and make the betrayer marry his victim, thinking thereby to legalize their illegitimate offspring. Nothing could be worse than such a marriage. It does not in any sense wipe out the sin, nor the scandal, and nine times out of ten the man runs away and leaves the wretched woman to bear her shame and support her child by hard work, while the truant repeats the crime by victimizing other stupid creatures. Or, if he stays with the poor woman, he makes her life a burden by his cruelty or neglect. A sin is a sin, and no mockery of a marriage can change it, and such a marriage should be prohibited by law. The man should be arrested and punished. He should not be allowed to escape punishment through the easy channel of going through a ceremony that means nothing to a heartless betrayer. We owe it to modern civilization to amend and execute the laws on marriage and divorce. An Evil of Immigration. The discovery of the existence of an organized band of as blood-thirfty anarchists as ever terrorized a community flourishing full force in the fine old county of Washington, Pennsylvania, brings close to home the evils which arise from unrestricted immigration. It was affiliated and in communication with similar bands in other parts of the country. One band was always ready to strike the blow planned by the other. Their black record of murder is enough to prove they had the determination to carry out their purpose and are not mere swashbucking braggards. Sane immigration laws would have done much to have kept the filth out of the country. If they happen to slip by the inspectors other sane measures would provide for their shipment back home immediately upon the discovery of their character. Fortifying such laws the sane legislators would provide measures which would out of the cost of detection and deporta- tion upon the steamship agency that dumped them upon our shores. A strong moral responsibility rests upon steamship companies in regard to the class immigrants they bring to us, and they should be taught to realize that responsibility.—Wheeling News. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. In the Library of Congress there are 1,000 titles of works written by Negroes and many of these books are on the shelves and are frequently called for. Mrs. Gail, the colored woman of Wankegan, Ill., who predicted the assassination of the late President McKinley, as well as the Baltimore fire, predicts that Chicago will be destroyed. Fifteen hundred lumber dealers met in Kansas City, Mo., last week and a jolly time was reported. Of the fifteen hundred in attendance 25 were Afro-Americans, and they came from Indian Territory and Oklahoma. Negro life in Mississippi is cheaper than any other state in the Union. Lynching, peonage and outrages make up his portion. With the governor opposed to education, with secret white societies shooting, whipping and murdering helpless Negroes, how any sensible men can move into such a state is beyond our comprehension. Cody Bryant of Covington, Ga., is one of the richest colored farmers in the United States. He owns unencumbered 1,650 acres of the most fertil land in middle Georgia. He has thirty tenants and employs twenty wage hands. Last year he produced 415 bales of cotton, 4,000 bushels of corn, 1,200 bushels of wheat, 900 bushels of oats, 1,000 bushels of potatoes, 475 bushels of peas and 635 gallons of syrup. He is said to be worth $100,000. As a result of the increase of the scale of prices recently made by the white barbers at Richmond, Va., the colored shops, are literally reaping a silver harvest. Colored barbers who are conducting white shops and who have been heretofore nearly pressed out of busy as beavers Saturday until late into the night. The colored barbers are still shaving for 10 cents. Many people who have been regular patrons of the white shops have declared that they will not stand the increased prices, and will patronize the Negro barbers hereafter. NO. 20. Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 23.—As a result of the production last night of "The Clansman," Representative Klair, Democrat, to-day introduced in the general assembly a bill prohibiting the production of any play that is based upon antagonism alleged formerly to exist between master and slave or that excites race prejudice. The measure provides a fine of $500 and jail imprisonment for violation of its provision. The bill was referred to the public morals committee of the assembly and its adoption will be strongly urged. The Advocate of Huntsville, Ala., published the following item on December 12, 1860: "The Negroes belonging to the estate of Samuel Townsend, deceased, were sold here last week, on twelve months time with interest from date. There were one hundred and twenty-six of them, old and young, and they brought $136,642—an average of $823.14 apiece. They were an ordinary set of Negroes, and the prices they brought were astonishing. We are glad to see the confidence our people have in this species of property, and that they are determined to maintain it as one of their fixed institutions. Let the South keep united—act in concert—agree upon the same policy, and the institution is safe, permanent and profitable, in or out of the Union." The Advocate continues to publish articles favoring the enslavement of the Negro. It, like many other Southern papers, will never get over the shock delivered by the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. The lynchings reported for 1905 are but 66, the smallest number since 1885, says the Chicago Tribune. The following table showing the number of lynchings since 1885, will be of use to those studying this particular feature of criminology: 1885.....184 1886.....138 1887.....122 1888.....142 1889.....176 1890.....127 1891.....192 1892.....235 1893.....200 1894.....190 1895.....171 1896.....131 1897.....166 1898.....127 1899.....107 1900.....115 1901.....125 1902.....96 1903.....104 1904.....87 1905.....66 The lynchings in the various states and territories were as follows: Alabama, 3; Arkansas, 5; Florida, 1; Georgia, 11; Kentucky, 4; Mississippi, 17; Missouri, 1; Nevada, 1; North Carolina, 1; South Carolina, 3; Tennessee, 3; Texas, 11; Virginia, 1. 2644 Welton St., cor.

INEBRIATE HAD GREAT SCHEME Would Keep Fact of His Downfall from His Friends. Mr. B., who is an ardent prohibitionist, arrived one evening at Ayer Junction, on his way home to Fitchburg, but found that he would have to wait a few minutes for the Fitchburg train. Among the people already waiting at the station was a well-dressed man who was very evidently under the influence of liquor. Hearing Mr. B.'s inquiries, he sidled up to him and asked: "You goin' to Fishburg?" "Yes," said Mr. B. "Well, I'm goin' to Fishburg. Wha' train you goin' on?" "Oh, the first train that comes along." "Well, I'm goin' on firstht train." Then, in a confidential whisper: "Say, you know whass matter with me, don't you?" "Well, I know whass matter with me, but I wouldn't have my folks find it out, noffor world. You goin' Fishburg, eh? Same train with me? Well, when we get to Fishburg, you walk along shtreet with me, and when we meet anybody that knows me, you just tell 'em that I'm you and you're me, won't you? Then my folks won't know anything about it, see?"—Boston Herald. What Webster Wanted. Daniel Webster once dined with an old Boston merchant, and when they came to the wine a dusty old bottle was carefully opened by the servant and passed to the host. Taking the bottle, he filled Webster's glass and handed it to him. Then, pouring out another for himself he held it to the light and said: "Tow do you like it, Mr. Webster." "I think it is a fine specimen of old port." "Now, can you guess what it cost me?" asked the host. "Surely not," said Webster. "I only know that it is excellent." "Well, now, I can tell you, for I made a careful estimate the other day. When I add the interest to the first price, I find that it costs me the sum of just $1.25 per glass." "Good gracious! You don't say so?" cried Webster. And then, draining his glass, says a biographer, he presented it again, with the remark: "Fill it up again as quick as you can, for I want to stop that confounded interest!" Gen. Natt Head's Decline The late Gen. Natt Head of Hooksett, N. H., a former governor of New Hampshire, was a man of imposing appearance and of generous proportions. A full length portrait of Gen. Head adorned his bed chamber, being placed at the end of the room, opposite the foot of the bed. During his absence, in attendance upon a reception given the governor and his staff in Boston, Mrs. Head arranged the room, and changed the position of the picture, substituting for Gen. Head's portrait one of Abraham Lincoln. Gen. Head returned late upon the following evening, and retired at once. Upon awakening the next morning the first object that met his gaze was the tall, lank form of the martyred President, occupying the accustomed place of his own portrait, and his characteristic comment was: "My God, how I have fallen away!" Collins Imported, Duty Free. Some time between 1888 and 1892, during the tariff campaigns that were then waged, the democrats hired Faneuil hall the day preceding election for the purpose of holding a noon rally. The late Mayor Collins of Boston was called on to preside. On taking the chair he made the following short speech: "Fellow Democrats, I have been chosen moderator of this Boston town meeting. I am an imported article, duty free, and there are a great many of you who are just the same," referring to the crowd which occupied the main body of the hall. Then a mighty theer rent the air. Before History Began. With reference to the unconscious humor frequently displayed by applicants for admission to college in their examination papers, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia, says that a friend of his, principal of a preparatory school in New Jersey, once submitted a list of questions in history to his pupils, one of these questions being: "Why does the real history of the United States begin with the Revolution?" To this a would-be collegian replied as follows: "Because up to that time it was all lies." Cure of Sunburn. Buttermilk is very refreshing to the hot, tired skin.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT FAVORS HEPBRUM BILL. HAS ISSUED NO ULTIMATUM But Would Not Compromise on Legislation Not in Accord with Views Expressed in His Message.—Deeply Interested in Philippines and Statehood Measures. Washington.—President Roosevelt is not trying to dictate to Congress what it shall do or not do regarding railroad rate legislation or any other problem of legislation. He has not delivered to the Senate or to the House any sort of an "ultimatum" on subjects of legislation, and has not held over the heads of Congress the "threat of an extraordinary session" if he does not obtain the legislation for which he is hoping. This statement is made by authority, also, that suggestions of a compromise of any sort on rate legislation which do not embody the substance of the President's message on the subject have not appealed to the President. It can also be said that he doubtless would refuse to accept a compromise which would affect any essential feature of the proposed legislation. What is known as the Hepburn bill, now under discussion by the House, embodies substantially the President's views, as set forth in his last annual message. In the early days of the present session he thought the measure proposed by the Interstate Commerce Commission was the most practicable offered, but after mature consideration it seemed to him that the Hepburn bill was the better. Members of the Senate committee on interstate commerce have assured the President that either the Hepburn bill or a measure resembling it in essential features will be reported to the Senate. The report of the Senate committee will not be unanimous, but it will represent the views of a majority of the members. The report will be supported, it is expected, by Senators Cullom, Dolliver and Clapp, and possibly by other Republicans, and by the Democratic members of the committee. It can be stated that while the President desires that such rate legislation shall be established as he has recommended, he is firm in his attitude that the railroads as well as the shippers shall be dealt with justly. He wants nothing in the law that would affect unfairly the rights or the property of the railroads. He is confident that legislation to be framed substantially on the lines of the Hepburn measure will prove fair alike to the railroads and to the people. He is not trying to dictate matters of detail, and, of course, will preserve an open mind as to proposed amendments which do not affect the material and substantial features of the bill. The President is interested in both the Philippine tariff and the statehood measure. Concessions as to either one of them have not, it is stated, been given serious consideration. At the White House it is understood that an effort is to be made in the Senate first to eliminate Arizona and New Mexico for consideration as a joint state, and if that should fail, secondly to incorporate in the statehood a provision for the reference of the question of joint statehood to the voters of the two territories. It is too early yet to say with any degree of accuracy what the result of the latter proposition may be. WITHDREW FROM CAUCUS. Senator Patterson Leaves Democrats on Treaty Question. Washington. — Democratic senators perfected Saturday what they believe to be a perfect organization to defeat the Santo Domingo treaty and place the minority in a position to compel a strict party vote on other questions likely to arise during the present session. Two resolutions were adopted at a caucus continuing five hours, which the Democrats assert not only will dispose of the Domingan treaty, but will furnish the precedent for demanding a united party vote on all questions that may be considered partisan in their character, when two-thirds of the Democratic senators so decide. The resolutions follow: "Resolved, that the Senate ought not to advise and consent to the treaty between the United States and the republic of Santo Domingo, now pending before the Senate. "Resolved, that if two-thirds of the caucus shall vote in favor of the foregoing resolution, it shall be the duty of every Democratic senator to vote against the ratification of the treaty." Those who were absent from the caucus were Berry, Clark of Montana, Gearin, McLaurin and Stone, all out of the city. Patterson withdrew before the vote was taken. Teller voted for the first resolution and was excused from voting on the second, and McEnery and Taliaferro absented themselves without explanation. The first resolution was adopted by a vote of 21 to 1, Clark of Arkansas voting in the negative. The second was adopted by a vote of 20 to 4, Clark of Arkansas, Daniel, Foster and Mallory voting in the negative. The position of the absentees on the treaty as represented in the caucus gives twenty-nine against the treaty, with the position of Clark of Arkansas, McEnery, Fatterson and Tallfero not known save for the public expression of Patterson in the Senate in favor of the American policy. Mr. Patterson declined to make any Mr. Patterson declined to make any explanation of his leaving the caucus. Army Camps in Hawaii.

GAMBLING STOPPED BY GOVERNOR FOLK OF MISSOURI How He Upheld the Law in the Face of Fierce Opposition—Raid that Closed Delmar Race Track. Among other laws passed by the Missouri Legislature which had the active opposition of the corporations at long range, was the law prohibiting race track gambling and making it a felony. The St. Louis race track, known as the Delmar track, was one of the most active gambling places in the country, and the telegraph companies sent the reports of the Delmar races all over the land, turning a pretty penny thereby. The track was outside the corporation at St. Louis, in St. Louis county, where the governor seemed to have no power to enforce the law. the Delmar people kept on racing and gambling. Local sentiment in St. Louis county was with them, and naturally the local officers were in sympathy with the gamblers, and they invited all Missouri to laugh at its overzealous governor. Lawyers very generally agreed that the governor had no power; but Folk determined for himself that it was not only his right but his duty to stop organized crime anywhere in the state. So one day a squad of St. Louis policemen appeared at the gates of the Delmar tracks and asked for admission, and being refused, departed. That was all. The next day they appeared, asked for admission, and being refused, walked in. They made no arrests, but stood around, and left when the races were over. The next day the same squad of policemen appeared at the gates, marched in and at the proper time arrested the bookmakers.

Bookmakers are proud men, and are prone to glory in their independence, and their superiority to the law. So the Delmar gentry were loaded into an open patrol wagon, and instead of being driven quickly and in a surreptitious manner to their destination, were driven at a dead walk, six miles through the heart of the city to the police station, surrounded by a hooting, jibing crowd of scornful citizens. When the crowd tired and threatened to dissolve, the drivers of the patrol wagon, following instructions, slowed up or stopped to let the crowd regather and jeer at the law-breakers. The next day, when it was rumored that there would be a big raid, and that the track-frequenters would be hauled into court, the gates of the Delmar race track were closed, and have been closed ever since. A notice was posted on the Delmar gate that, owing to the arbitrary action of the police, the races would discontinue. The owners of the Delmar track represented great wealth and much political power in Missouri. They complained bitterly that the law did not permit the governor to use the police in stopping felonious violations of the law, but, nevertheless, they quit. The horses are gone, the bookmakers have fled, and gambling upon the results of the St. Louis races has ceased all over the United States.—William Allen White, in McClure's Magazine. An exchange says, "There's always room on the water wagon," but perhaps it's because so many fall off. The way of the transgressor is to acquaint himself with the law in his line. Ministers, as a rule, live to a ripe old age, yet we are told the good die young. nies that the noon hour will find a man on our breakfast huskier and with a stronger heart-beat and clearer working brain than he ever had on the old diet. Suppose, if you have never really made a move for absolutely clean health that pushes you along each day with a spring in your step and a reserve vigor in muscle and brain that makes the doing of things a pleasure, you join the army of "plain old common sense" and start in now. Then after you have been 2 or 3 weeks on the Grape-Nuts training you write a statement of how you used to be and how you are now. The simple facts will interest others and surprise yourself. We never publish names, except on permission, but we often tell the facts in the newspapers, and when requested give the names by private letter. There is plenty of time to get personal experience with Grape-Nuts and write a sensible, truthful letter to be sent in with the list of words, as the contest does not close until April 30th, 1906. So start in as soon as you like to building words, and start in using Grape-Nuts. Cut this statement out and keep the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts before you and when you write your letter you will have some reason to write on the subject, "Why I Owe Grape-Nuts." Remember 331 persons will win prizes, which will be awarded in an exact and just manner as soon as the list can be counted after April 30th, 1906. Every contestant will be sent a printed list of names and addresses of winners on application, in order to have proof that the prizes are sent as agreed. The company is well known all over the world for absolute fidelity to its agreements and every single one of the 331 winners may depend on receiving the prize won. Many persons might feel it useless to contest, but when one remembers the great number of prizes—(331)—the curiosity of seeing how many words can really be made up evening after evening and the good, natural fun and education in the competition, it seem worth the trial; there is no cost, nothing to lose and a fine opportunity to win one of the many boxes of gold or greenbacks. We make the prediction that some who win a prize of gold or greenbacks will also win back health and strength worth more to them than a wagon full of money prizes. There are no preliminaries, cut out this statement and go at it, and send in the list and letter before April 30th, 1906, to Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich., and let your name and address be plainly written. GINSENG INFORMATION RELATING TO THE RICHEST PRODUCT OF THE SOIL. Professor Howard of the Missouri State Agricultural College says: "I advise American farmers to cultivate Ginseng. Big profits are realized. It is easily grown." A bulletin by the Pennsylvania State College says: "The supply of native Ginseng Root is rapidly diminishing and the price per pound is correspondingly increasing, while the constant demand for the drug in China stands as a guarantee of a steady market for Ginseng in the future." American Consul General Wildman at Hong Kong writes: "There will be little difficulty in disposing on this coast of all the Ginseng that is grown in America. Ginseng is a staple on the market the same as corn, wheat and cotton. The present market price varies from $6.00 to $8.00 per pound, while the cost of production is less than $1.50. There is room in one's garden to grow several hundred dollars worth each year. The plant can be grown throughout the United States and Canada in any soil or climate that will grow ordinary garden vegetables. There are two planting seasons, spring and fall. We are buyers and exporters of the dried product, and grow roots and seeds for planting purposes. Let us show you how to make money growing Ginseng. You can get a practical start in the business for a small outlay and soon have a nice income. Send two-cent stamp to-day for our illustrated literature telling all about it.

DENVER & RIO GRANDERR SOENIG LINE WORLD STEPS TO PREVENT PANICS. Elaborate Precautions Taken by Leading Financiers. The absence from Wall street of half a dozen prominent financiers, with the announcement that several others intend to depart soon on extended trips, has excited interest in the discussion respecting the power of very rich operators in the market and arrangements by them to protect their interests while away. Fifteen years ago the market became nervous whenever a powerful operator went away or took sick and often broke violently on rumors of his death. That has all changed now owing to the elaborate arrangements made by most rich men to protect their holdings when they die and prevent hasty selling by trustees or executors. Most Wall street men nowadays make it conditional upon joining forces with any group of operators that each member should make specific provision in his will for the protection of the interests of his associates in event of death. These agreements are binding and are always lived up to. Preaching to the Deaf. Preaching to the Deaf. He that hath ears, let him hear, and he that is deaf can now hear by telephone, and has no excuse for staying away from church. A clergyman in Stratford, Conn., has a number of deaf persons in his congregation. He found that, curiously enough, they could understand what was said to them by telephone. So he set up a telephone apparatus on his pulpit-desk and ran wires to a pew near the front of the church. There sit the deaf, holding receivers with a light handle like that of a lorgnette. This deaf pew, however, is not necessary. Telephone connection will be made between the pulpit and any pew. A great boon to the really deaf, but rather vexatious, perhaps, to the persons who are so deaf that they can hear all the jokes at a theater perfectly well, but cannot follow the sermon.—"With the Procession," Everybody's Magazine.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS PROCLAIMED BY WOMAN'S SUF FRAGE ASSOCIATION CONVENTION IN BALTIMORE Address of Welcome Answered by Julia Ward Howe and Miss Clara Barton—President of the Association Appeals to President Roosevelt. Baltimore—The thirty-eighth annual convention of the Woman's Suffrage Association began here Wednesday and will continue until and include February 13th. The meeting is one of the most numerously attended gatherings ever held by the woman's suffragists in this country, nearly all the prominent leaders of the cause being present. The honorary president, Miss Susan B. Anthony, was too indisposed to attend, the president of the association, Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, filing the vacancy. Governor Warfield of Maryland delivered an address of welcome. The spouse was made jointly by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and Miss Clara Barton, after which the president's annual address was read by Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, as follows: "While it is true that marriage and the birth rate have decreased within recent years, before the results are charged to the participation of women in industry one must 'answer many questions. As a matter of fact, it is not a new thing for women to be engaged in industrial pursuits. "If conditions surrounding their employment are such as to make it a 'social question of the first importance,' it is unfortunate that President Roosevelt did not see that women, the most deeply interested factor in the problem, should constitute at least a part of any commission authorized to investigate it. "I trust a resolution will be passed by this convention to petition the government to place women on every commission which investigates the questions which so deeply affect their lives and the lives of their children. "One can but wish with the recognized desire for 'fair play' and his policy of a 'square deal' it had occurred to the President that if 5,000,000 American women are employed in gainful occupations, type of justice known to a republic would demand that these 5,000,000 toiling women should be enfranchised to enable them to secure and enforce legislation for their own protection. "All we are asking for women, 'the queens of the home,' is the unquestioned right and power to care for its highest interests through representatives whom they may elect and whom they have power to remove when they fail to protect those interests. "There never was a time when there was as great a number of good housekeepers and home makers. The home ideal of to-day is the best the world has yet known and it will continue to dog up as larger freedom and broader culture come to all who share its life." MIXING OIL AND WATER. New York—Unofficial announcement was made in Wall street Tuesday that the Standard Oil Company is preparing to increase its capital stock from $100,000,000 to $600,000,000 by issuing six shares for each one now outstanding. It is not designed to raise immediately any money on this new issue, but simply to divide the present high priced shares into six and give them to the old stockholders. The company has two objects in doing this. One is to try to dispel the public criticism that arises every time the Standard declares a forty or forty-eight per cent, dividend. The other is to bring about a scattering of the stock among a larger number of holders so that there may be missionaries in every town to help stem the rising tide of opposition to the trust. It is argued that the salvation of the steel trust is its enormous number of small stockholders, and the Standard at last is seeking cover from the anti-trust sentiment. When the present stock is cut up into sixths, the price will drop from 690 which it is now, to about 115, and the dividends, instead of being more than forty per cent, will become about seven per cent. SMOOT HEARING. Senate Committee Investigates Plural Marriages. Washington.—Hearings in the case of Senator Reed Smoot were resumed Tuesday before the committee on privileges and elections. The investigation of the protests made against the Utah senator retaining his seat continued through two sessions of Congress, and Tuesday marked the beginning of meetings which the committee probably will hold intermittently throughout the present session. The first witness was Prof. Walter Wolfe, former teacher of geology in Brigham Young College at Logan, Utah, and an apostate of the church. He testified that he had been a Mormon until January 1st, this year, when his connection was severed through failure to comply with the demands for tithes. He was asked to tell what he knew of the alleged plural marriage of Prof. Benjamin Cluff and Florence Reynolds, both teachers at Provo. In detailing what he knew of their relations, he told of a Mormon expedition to Mexico. He had been informed at that time by Cluff that he was married to Florence Reynolds and that they lived together on that trip. President Smith, he said, referred to Florence as "Sister Cluff." "Twelve times," answered Professor Wolfe, when asked how many times he had been through the endowment house or temple. FROM PLANT TO CIGAR. Frank P. Lewis has recently returned from a trip through the best tobacco sections, looking over the growing fields. He noted the best crops and engaged them, and will go later to watch the curing and packing of same. He also, while there, examined some of his large holdings of old tobacco in quality every day. The Lewis Single Binder factory probably controls more fancy graded tobacco than any other cigar factory in the United States. Smokers of Single Binders have evidently learned this fact which accounts for the ever increasing demand. In spite of the fact that the factory sends out no traveling salesman to boom its good quality to the trade, the Single Binder Sales reached seven million last year and will exceed eight million in 1905. The Single Binder sells itself. For twenty-three months this factory has been behind in its orders.—Herald-Transcript.

A TRULY IDEAL WIFE HER HUSBAND'S BEST HELPER Vigorous Health Is the Great Source of Power to Inspire and Encourage—All Women Should Seek It. One of the most noted, successful and richest men of this century, in a recent article, has said, "Whatever I am and whatever success I have attained in this world I owe all to my wife. From the day I first knew her she has been an inspiration, and the greatest helpmate of my life." Mrs. Bessie Ainsley To be such a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her husband, to inspire him to make the most of himself, should be a woman's constant study. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes, she has backache, headaches, bearing-down pains, nervousness, irregularities or the blues, she should start at once to build up her system by a tonie with specific powers, such as Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Following we publish by request a letter from a young wife: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Ever since my child was born I have suffered, as I hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach so I could not enjoy my meals, and half my time was spent in bed. "Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me a well woman, and I feel so grateful that I have been able to tell all of my marvelous recovery. It brought me health, new life and vitality."—Mrs. Bessie Ainsley, 611 Sorth 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash. What Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will do for every sick and ailing woman. If you have symptoms you don't understand write to Mrs. Pinknam, daughter-in-law of Lydia E.

In winter the air of the close rooms in which we spend so much of the time does not furnish enough oxygen to the lungs to burn out the foul matter in the blood. In the cold season we do not exercise as much and the skin and kidneys do not throw off the waste matter as freely as usual. The system becomes overloaded with poisonous matter, and too feeble to throw it off. Relief can be had only through the use of a remedy that will promptly and thoroughly purify and strengthen the blood, and the one best adapted for this purpose is the great blood tonic known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "They acted like magic in my case," said Mrs. Clara L. Wilde, of No. 377 Farnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. "I was weak and thin and could not sleep. My stomach and nerves were out of order. I can't describe how miserable I really was. I dragged through six months of feebleness, growing weaker all the time until I finally hadn't strength enough to leave my bed. "Then a glad day came, the day when I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They made me feel strong right away. My appetite came back, I took on flesh and the color returned to my cheeks. People wondered that these pills did for me what the doctors couldn't do. I took only six boxes and then I was perfectly well. If I had not found this wonderful remedy I surely think that I must have wasted to death. Believing firmly that these pills saved my life by the strength which they gave me at a critical moment, I unhesitatingly recommend them to others." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain no stimulant but give strength that lasts. They may be obtained at any drug store.

Whether the county clerk or the election commission is to have charge of the new registration in Denver this spring is to be settled by the courts. This is another of the tangles the Rush bill got the city mixed up in. The new registration law provides that the lists be made under supervision of the county clerk, but the Democrats claim that the new charter took the city from under the jurisdiction of the Legislature. They would like to have the registration remain on the old basis and vote dead men and shadows, as they did in 1904 and before. DENVER THE BEAUTIFUL There is a good deal of discussion just now going on about expert Robinson's plan to beautify Denver. We all want to see the Queen City the handsomest city in the country. Mayor Speer's Budget calling for an expenditure of a million and a half dollars is none to large. It shows that we are to have more paving, more street cleaning, more drinking fountains, new Cherry Creek Boulevard and many other advantages and improvements commensurate with the growth and progress of a great city. Denver is now young and many of her largest and finest building are yet to be constructed and her most beautiful and tasty residences to be erected and streets to be laid out—why not plan these improvement with a view to symetry and beauty so that the coming generations shall rise up and call the present actors blessed for exhibiting wisdom and common sense in laying out the city. The ordinary American city is laid out any way, and built any old way, but Denver is young and promising. The most beautiful already of her competitors and it ought to be her duty like every sensible, blushing young maid to continue beautiful. Our colored citizens can assist in this good work by putting a fresh coat of paint on your house, fixing your fense, repairing your sheds and outhouses sodding your yards, planting flowers and vines and giving your residence the appearance of people of refinement. It don't cost as much to be neat, tidy and clean as it does to be dirty, careless and indifferent. Let all hands join for a more beautiful Denver and we shall have it. VERNON CONFIRMED. The COLORADO STATESMAN has never once doubted the nomination or confirmation of the sage of Quinduro for the high office to which he has been named by President Roosevelt. Mr. Vernons struggles and determination to rise in the world should be a lesson for every youth in the public schools today. It teaches first of all; that no man can succeed in this world without an education. Ability lies behind every successful man. Second: It emphasizes that character is essential to promotion. Without integrity, high motives and moral strength no man need hope to rise to appreciation. Third, It demonstrates, that color is no barriers to progress, for there is no possibility of mistaking Mr. Vernon's antecedants. Thus in Dr. Vernon's rise every barrier alleged by our discouraged youth today is wipped away. Mr. Vernon is a young man 34 years of age and only been in public life about 16 years. He was born of exslave parents in a log cabin near Lebanon, Mo., July 11 1871. At 15 he finished the public school and entered Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City where he worked his way serving as janitor, hotel waiter and other forms of manuel labor graduating with class honors in 1890. In the fall of the same year he was principle of the school at Lebanon and then choosen president at Quindaro. Such a career is a vivid example of what any conscientious youth may expect who is willing to work, study and prepare for a life of usefulness. The COLORADO STATESMAN has been for Dr. Vernon first, last all the time and we are glad to see him safely landed in the most representative office in the gift of the nation. Success to you Dr. Vernon. MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. This subject is always perennial because there are new phases of it developing daily and it effects so many homes and families that it can never grow old. How to deal with these two subjects forms one of the most difficult problems of human society. The rocks on which the bark of matrimony is wrecked are of many varieties. Often the fatal rock of destruction of connubial bliss is so large that there is no excuse for striking them. Again they are so small but numerous that it takes careful steering to avoid them and there are others so submurged that none but experienced pilots can glide safely pass them. It is not the big rocks that are dangerous, only a fool would run against them but it is the thousand and one little difficulties of daily life that causes the serious wrecks on the matrimonial sea, for instance, a man coming home from work tired thinks he should make no special effort to be agreeable to his wife though he expects to find her cheerful, bright and overjoyed to see him, this is often a mistake the wife is often as worn out as himself with household cares, bad feelings and troubles of her own The club, saloon and card table come in for their share of dangers. The money question is often a bitter pill for both parties to swallow and last but not least especial attention to some new flame ends the matrimonial voyage in the deepest gloom and the Divorce courts or coroners jury hears the rest of the sad story. How to avoid these results here is the burning question for every man and woman to consider. Take the chart of life, the compas of love, sit down and study them over carefully the safe course if you would reach your destination safely. The cause of many if not the most of these wrecks is we have not studied the route. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Got Even with the Professor. Prof. Robert C. Brooks of Swarthmore college is a great stickler for hard, persistent work on the part of his students, and is correspondingly disinclined to regard with favor anything savoring of dillettanteism. One day recently a young lady of the college approached him with a request to be allowed to attend a certain lecture course he was giving, at the same time expressing her great regret that she was unable to register for regular work in it. "Certainly, certainly, the oxygen's free, I suppose," answered the professor rather sententiously. The students smiled as the young lady took her seat with a dazed expression, but at the next meeting of the class she had her revenge. Passing the professor's desk at the beginning of the hour, she inquired sweetly "Is the hot air still free, professor?"—New York Times.

THRONE ROOM OF CZARINA PIGS AS DRAUGHT ANIMALS MAKING FOUR-LEAVED CLOVERS MISSED THEIR HARD BEDS ICELAND LIFE IS SIMPLE Her Majesty's throne room at the winter palace fronted on a court which was surrounded by well-built walls with curiously shaped doors and windows and ornamented yellow and green-tiled designs at intervals, writes Katherine A. Carl in the December Century. In the center of the wall in front was the immense gateway, with wooden folding doors, which had just opened for her passage. The veranda of the throne room had two rooms projecting upon it, making it a rectangular space with walls around three of its sides. The veranda was quite different from any at the summer palace, where they run the whole length of the buildings, back and front. Entering, I was struck by the beauty of the great central hall—the harmony of its proportions, the somber splendor of its color. It seemed to me the most satisfying, the most picturesque of all the restful, harmonious Chinese interiors I had seen, with its dull red walls and its splendid coffered ceiling glowing in color and glinting in gold, the central dome, with elaborately carved pendentives, being painted in brilliant primary colors, subdued into a rich harmony, by the demi-obscurity, for it had no "lantern" and received its light from the windows below. The curious feature of the domes In many countries and even so nees as Scotland the pig has served the purpose of a beast of draught and has actually been harnessed to the plow in company with cows and horses. In Scotland also early in the last century pigs were sometimes made to serve as chargers and proved most docile mounts, says the London Express. The homing instinct is strongly developed in the pig. Instances not infrequently occur of pigs finding their way back to farms whence they have been conveyed. There is a record of two pigs homing nine miles, and crossing the Thames to boot, to their old farm, whence they had been driven to Reading market and bought by a local gentleman on the previous day. At one point on their homeward journey where two roads met the twain were observed "putting their noses together as if in deep consultation." About 1815 a London gentleman created a sensation by driving a four-in-hand of pigs through the streets, and thirty years later an old farmer caused amusement to a great crowd Four leaved clovers may be grown in abundance on lawns or in flower beds. The raising of four leaved clovers has been made possible by Prof. De Vries of Amsterdam, who has found a plant bearing six or seven four leaved clovers, capable of being transplanted. He first sowed them, and since then he has had a new generation each year. Each time he chose his seeds from a fourth of the best plant; that is, from those which had the most four and five leaved clovers. It was the third generation which began to be rich in the desired form of leaflets, but only with four and five leaflets, and these only in the adult plant. During August and September of the same year he remarked a very few with seven leaflets. At this point he reduced his selection to a severe standard. He chose for his penultens only those plants having Habit plays a large part in the comfort of the individual. At least, so it was with a party of soldiers from the ventures as related by Mr. Todd in his book on the civil war. The regiment was in barracks near Cincinnati for over Sunday, and a party of four was made up to visit the city and see the sights. "As a rare treat we were to put up at the hotel for the night, and enjoy good sleep on soft beds and have a fine breakfast before returning to camp. "We went to the hotel and paid for a big room with two beds in it. We were feeling pretty well as we returned to the hotel, and pitying our poor comrades in their hard bunks. "As we climbed into our comfortable beds we made various remarks about the places in which we were accustomed to sleep. Then we settled for rest. There are no manufactories in the country. Each home is a factory and every member of the family a hand, says the Pilgrim. Shoes are made from goatskins. The long stockings, worn over these in wading through the snow, are knitted by the women and children, and even the beautiful broadcloth comes smooth and perfect from the hand loom found in every house. The sweet simplicity of their national costume does away, with the necessity of fashion books. Young girls who are about to be married need take no thought as to "where-withal shall they be clothed." When they array themselves in the wedding garments of their ancestor, two or three generations remote, they are perfectly up-to-date in the matter of attire. This simple life is conducive to a in several of the palaces in the Violet City, so effective from within, giving elevation and space to the interior is that they are not visible from the outside of the edifice. The beautiful straight line of the roof, with its up turned corners, remains intact in its purity and retains its restful simplicity. The hall was paved with great blocks of highly polished black marble, which dimly reflected the glowing splendor of the walls and ceiling. In the center of one side was a low date richly carpeted, on which stood a great antique throne and footstool of red lacquer, framed in ebony and in laid with cloisonne; the three-leaved screen behind was of bronze, with landscapes in low relief. On each leaf a poem in golden characters gave the needed touch of brilliance to the somber massiveness of the dull bronze. Great wooden doors, with huge gilded dragons in high relief, opened into apartments to the right and left of this splendid hall. These portals were always thrown wide, and heavily padded satin portieres hung from the lintels. The front and rear of the hall were almost entirely of glass, with the pillars that supported the roof standing clear between the windows—the lower half of plate glass, the upper of transparent Korean paper. in the market place at St. Albans by entering it in a chaise drawn by four trotting hogs. After two or three turns round the market he drove to the Woolpack yard, where his curious steeds were unharnessed and led away to be regaled with a trough of beans and wash. There have also been sporting pigs. An old account of a black sow which Richard Tooner, one of the royal keepers in the New Forest, broke to find game and to bask and stand says: "Within a fortnight she would find and point partridges or rabbits and her training was much forwarded by the abundance of both. She daily improved, and in a few weeks would retrieve birds that had run as well as the best pointer; nay, her nose was superior to the best pointer. According to Linnaeus, "the hog is more nice in the selection of his vegetable diet than any of our other domesticated herbivorous animals." Thus in one respect the pig may be said to be an epicure. Linnaeus states that the animal will eat only seventy-two plants, as against the goat's 449, the sheep's 387, the cow's 276 and the horse's 262. two-thirds of all their leaves with four or more leaflets. But he had discovered a curious fact that much simplified his selection from then on. In sowing clover one may observe that the first leaf of each young and subsequent leaflets have regularly three leaflets. This knowledge made it possible for him to make his selection much more quickly. He had only to choose the young clovers with compound leaves and transplant them from his glass house to his garden, leaving the others to perish. Thus he did not need so many hundred individuals as before, though each year he still selected some thousands of seedlings from their sowing pots. At last, after eight years of effort, the new variety of clover came into existence. Of this crop nearly all young plants had their first leaf compounded, and all, with few exceptions, were five leaved. "For some reason I could not get to sleep, and my bedfellow was very restless. I also heard sounds from the other bed which indicated that its occupants were not reposing. "Come, John, why don't you go to sleep?" I said to my mate. "Why don't you go yourself?" he returned. "The bed's too soft!" came from across the room. "That was the secret of our wakefulness. We rolled hopelessly about until John exclaimed in desperation: "I say, fellows, let's go home!" We really did. All four of us dressed, and softly sneaking out of the comfortable hotel, went back to the barracks and turned into our hard bunks. We lost the hotel breakfast, for which we had paid in advance, but we got our sleep.—Youth's Companion. state of high morals, higher probably than in any other part of the world. There is not a drop of liquor manufactured in the island, and for the 78,000 population there is but one policeman. There is neither a jail nor any place of incarceration for criminals, nor yet is there a court in which a high crime could be tried.

George 0. Stacy, proprieter of a well known hotel at East ‘Gloucester, Mass., possesses a ready wit which has often enabled him to easily cast aside worries frequently arising in connection with the managemet of a targe summer hotel. On one occasion during a change in the regime in the kitchen, although everything else went along satisfact- orily, it seemed almost impossible for the new cooks to make good coffee. While an endeavor was being made by the chef ty have this defect reme- died several old maids, who were guests, took it upon themselves to thaye the matter corrected by com- plaining to-Mr, Stacy personally about It. Getting together in a body, and en- ‘ering the proprietor’s private office, ‘one of them opened up the subject by saying: “Mr. Stacy, the coffee at breakfast this morning was so bad that we couldn't drink it.” Without giving the others time to say anything, Mr. Stacy quickly re- plied: “Well, is that so? I'm glad I took tea this morning instead,” which ended the interview, as the old ladies had nothing further to say and made a hasty exit, to the great amuse- ment of the other guests. ‘The coffee, however, immefiateiy ‘improved. jntory 9 ALE INVENTORY E Throngh with Stock taking.

Pro*. Charles Richet, an‘almost equal- ‘ly well-known man of science, who has tong studied such questions, has just made the acquaintance of a new materialized spook, who gives his name as “Bien Boa.” Of course, M. Richet took every possible precaution against imposture. It is true that sole years ago he was repeatedly taken in by a spurious medium, whom he himself eventually showed up. In the present case t2e medium is a Mlle. Mzrtha B—, who was betrothed to the son, a French naval officer, now de- ceased, of Gen. and Mme.

The seances took place in a room suf- fleently lit for persons to see each otlcr well, and to read the time by thei+ watches easily. Doors and win- dows were duly barred and sealed, all ususl precautions against fraud be- ing observed. An epigram, in its primary signifi- cation, was nothing more nor less than an inseription, writes Edmund Goase in Harper's Magazine. It was “something written” to mark a spot or an event; it was the form of words attached to an altar, or a monument, or un image, to show whose image or monument, or altar it was. If you consecrated a secular elm to Pan, you pit.ned an epigram on the bark to an- nonuce that fact; if you presented to @ friend an amethyst cup engraved with a figure of Bachus, you embod- fed in an epigram your sentiments. It ts a mistake to suppose that these pieves were in their first inception satirical, but the Romans made them so, und, as time went on, the trick of sriting them, in Latin as well as in Greek, involved an attention to concentrated effect. The — epigram- ma(ist tried to fill his little glass as full as possible, and there were bub- bles of malice round the brim.

Yet when a deer from the forest walks unmolested and bold down its ‘main street, its claims as a component part of the town “might be doubted. It was about 6:30 yesterday morn- ing that a lite brown deer came out on Meridian street, having made his "Way across vacant lots from the ‘Lym woods, and gazed in wonder at the Wulldings and the works of man. - Suldenly there was a goarse clang behind him, and a huge tunnel car tore over upon him.

The greatest fur hunter and the greatest pathfinder of them all, and possess- ing the most intimate knowledge of the Indian nature ever vyouchsafed a white man, Bridger will grow In stat- ure as time goes on and accurate history is written. No part of the great Rocky Moun- tain country held a secret from Jim Bridger. He was the first white man, after John Colter, to view the won- ders of Yellowstone Park, and the first to look on Great Salt Lake. Seomingly bearing a charmed life, he werdered through the lands of many Indian tribes, sometimes fighting the red men, but more often living their life and finding the solace of _ true brotherhood at the lodge fire.

It was that of a dark-complexioned man clad entirely in white, wearing a turban. and round the forehead a band of some bright metal, portions of it being gold. The ghost walked among the spectators, shook hands with them repeatedly, his touch feeling like that of an ordi- nary living human being, and Kissed Mme. Noel. Prof. Richet placed against his mouth a phial containing @ solution of baryta, which the ghost’s breath transformed into car. Donate of baryta, as in the case of ordinary respiration. The material ized phantom appeared on several aif. ferent evenings. Once he was seen to sink through the floor in the mid- dle of the room and to arise again immediately from another part of the floor. Finally he spoke, presumably in French, though that point is not specified, and said thes he was “Bien Boa,” formerly a priest in India.

He put his tug about and pursued the deer, which was having a hard time in the water. The little animai had swam fresh water ponds, but the salt choked him and the waves smoth- ered him. He swam fast, but the tug came faster, and ran alongside of the struggling animal. This was a greater terror, this huge monster, which was swimming alongside to devour him. The deer tried to get away, but the sailors se cured him with ropes and swung him on board the tug, where he lay pant- ing. The men tried to restore the Mit- tle creature, but between its terror and the salt water he had swallowed, he was too far gone, and djed before they reached Commercial wharf.

A singular feature of it is the abrupt- ness with which it begins and ceases on the plain. The grassy swamp or open country reaches to the mighty wall of trees, which continue in the same density from one side to the other, forming a transition from the open plain to the forest. “Inside, the silence and gloom are accentuated by the apparent absence of animal or bird life. There are some herds of buffaloes that make it a headquarters, elephants visit it cc- casionally, monkeys and parrots are sometimes seen, and a harnessed an- telope now and then appears at the edge; but the general impression laft is one of lifelessness.” Always Staunch And True The Denver Republican has always avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circulation proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepresentation, standing fast for the Right, is heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals.

LATE ADVICES ALARMING Boycott Against Americans Intensified —Naval Demonstration by the United States Considered Possible. Washington.—There are several evidences that the administration is prepared to apply the "big stick" policy to China if the latter shows evidences of defiance. Several weeks ago it was reluctantly admitted at the War Department that the troops in the Philippines were being materially increased, in the face of Secretary Taft's declaration that no more than 10,000 men were required to keep order, because the administration feared that there was going to be trouble for the United States in China. Prior to this the statement had been made upon the same authority that additional troops were to be sent there, that by that time brigade drills might be made possible. Advices from China received here and at London are admittedly of most alarming character. To-day it was said at the Navy Department that following the completion of Rear Admiral Sigsbree's cruise the Galveston and the Chattanooga would be sent East through the Suez canal to Chinese waters. Almost at the same moment it was declared in the State Department upon authority that every report from an American consul general in China was to the effect that the boycott and the feeling against America now flourished as never before and the reports mounted a foot high. Continuously cropping up were placards denouncing Americans and crying that if the boycott and demonstration were only kept up, America would let down the bars to Chinese immigration. Again and again, it was said, the American minister, Mr. Rockhill, and his assistants have protested to the authorities against these unfriendly proclamations, and told the viceroyes of the provinces in which they were posted that they would be held personally responsible by the United States for any hostile acts which might follow. The placards were taken down and drastic decrees issued by the viceroyes, but only to have the placarding repeated. In view of these various declarations, all upon the same subject, it is generally believed here that unless there is a change in the Chinese situation within the next few months, an American demonstration is a strong possibility. HAZING LAW TOO SEVERE. President Urges That It Shall Be Modified. Washington.—The President has made public a letter urging upon Congress a modification of the law against hazing at the naval academy. Unless Congress shall promptly amend the existing law against hazing which makes mandatory the dismissal of any midshipman found guilty of any form of hazing, the secretary of the navy may be forced to dismiss thirty-three midshipmen from the naval academy within the next month, in addition to the eight who have already suffered this penalty and the three whose cases are awaiting the action of the department. in his letter the President says: "I have directed that a pardon be issued to John Paul Miller, a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy recently convicted of 'hazing' and sentenced to dismissal from the academy. In the discussion of this case my attention has been called forcibly to the unsatisfactory condition of the law on this subject. A midshipman accused of hazing, whether the extent of his offense be great or small, must be tried by court-martial. The findings of such court, if approved by the superintendent of the academy, are declared final and can not be revised by the secretary of the navy or even by me, and neither the court itself nor the superintendent nor the secretary of the navy has any discretion as to the punishment to be imposed. "I heartily disapprove of the practice of hazing, and, in common with all those interested in the welfare of the academy, wish to see this practice thoroughly eradicated there. But the punishment of dismissal is altogether disproportionate to the culpability involved in some forms of hazing." NEGRO HONORED. Named by President Roosevelt for Register of the Treasury. Washington.—The President has sent in the nomination of William Tecumseh Vernon of Kansas, to be register of the treasury. Mr. Vernon is president of the Western University School for Negroes, established by the Presbyterians at Quindaro, just across the Kansas line from Kansas City. He is thirty-four years of age, having been born of ex-s slave parents in a little log cabin near Lebanon, Missouri, July 11, 1871. At fifteen he finished in the public school at Lebanon and entered "Incoln Institute at Jefferson City, the Missouri state school for negroes. He worked his way through school by serving as janitor, hotel waiter, and doing other forms of manual labor, and graduated with class honors June 13, 1890. So limited were his means that upon graduation day he did not have money enough to buy his dinner. The summer following his graduation he was a waiter at a summer resort. In the fall of the same year Prof. Vernon was chosen principal of the negro schools at Bonne Terre, Missouri. Two years later he was elected principal of the Lebanon schools, where he taught four years. Pearls for Miss Alice. Havana,—Dr. Ferrera, Cuban minister to Paris, reports that he has purchased a collar of pearls as Cuba's wedding gift to Miss Alice Roosevelt, and that the gift will be forwarded to the Cuban minister at Washington. SO Ford's Hill Pomade was formerly known as the NIZENZ, a MARTINE, and the only safe preparation known to us that makes it easy.

BUT FEW OPPOSING VOTES Embodies Railroad Regulations Recommended by the President — Gives Commission Power to Fix a Reasonable Rate. Washington.—The House Thursday passed the Hepburn railroad rate bill by a vote of 346 to 7. Those voting against the bill were: Littlefield, McCall, Perkins, Sibley, Southwick, Vreeland and Weeks. The bill, according to Mr. Hepburn's statement in closing the debate on the measure, was intended—and did, so far as it could be made, be said—to comply specifically with the recommendations of President Roosevelt on the rate question. It gives the Interstate Commerce Commission authority when a rate has been complained of as "unreasonable" by a shiper to investigate that rate, state whether or not it is unreasonable and, if found to be unreasonable, to name a rate that it is to be just and reasonable and fairly remunerative, which is to be the maximum rate to be charged. The rate so fixed is to go into effect thirty days after it is announced by the commission, subject during that time to be set aside or suspended by the commission or by the courts. After it has gone into effect it is to remain the rate for three years. During that time the opinion has been expressed by those who have participated in the debate, the rate may be reviewed by the courts and if found to be in conflict either with the terms of the act or with the constitution by being confiscatory, can be set aside by the courts. Another important feature is the definition of the word "railroad" and "transportation." in a manner to include all auxiliary instrumentalities to the common carrier and to bring them within the power and control of the commission. This power to name a reasonable rate and the inclusion of the auxiliaries within the jurisdiction of the commission are said to be the new features. All other provisions are modifications of existing laws. They include publicity of railroad methods, which is to be aided by prescribing a system of bookkeeping and enlarging the commission to seven members and increasing salaries of members to $10,000 a year. DANGEROUS FOOD Millions Die by Soothing Syrups and Impure Milk. Washington.—That more than 1,000,000 infants have been sacrificed to the various concoctions known as "soothing syrups" and "pain killers," and over twice that number killed by impure milk, is the declaration made by Professor H. W. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bureau of the Department of Agriculture. "We do not know anything about the milk we have left at our homes, or the condition under which it is produced," he added. "There are a thousand and one possibilities which might have combined to make what nature intended for a food the most virile poison that chemistry can produce. "I have found that the foods we daily consume are so fraught with germ life of a harmful nature that I am almost afraid to go to the table. The butter is painted—there is little other to be found anywhere. Canned goods are kept years and sold for the genuine article. I speak particularly of condensed milk. "If we know nothing of the fresh milk we get, surely our knowledge is more limited to the product that is put in cans. The Lord intended us to resort to cans only to tide us over one season, until green fruits could be had again, but the canners don't know this. There is no law requiring them to stamp the date upon their goods. If there were, it would kill the sale." It was the irony of fate that the Washington butcher who foisted a fake lamb chop on the market should send an order of this delectable food to the home of Dr. Wiley, head of the chemical bureau of the Agricultural Department, whose business it is to investigate foods and see that they are pure and are all that they are represented to be. This extraordinary imitation was made up of a piece of comparatively unsalable meat, probably taken from somewhere about the neck. A bone which previously had been in use, because it showed signs of having been broiled, or boiled, at some stage, was carefully inserted in little slits in the piece of neck and fastened over with something resembling cartillages, so that the effect at first glance was that of an ordinary lamb chop. Fatal Ranch Feud. Cheyenne, Wyo.—John Tyndall and James Kester, ranchmen living on Cottonwood creek, in Big Horn county, quarreled Wednesday over the ownership of some horses and both were killed. Kester drew a revolver and Tyndall attempted to wrest it from him. The weapon was discharged, killing Tyndall. Richard Tyndall, father of the dead man, then grappled with Kester, overpowered him and killed him, beating his head into a pulp. Tyndall gave himself up, but will be discharged on the plea of self-defense. Kester and the Tyndalls have quarreled frequently over range and stock matters. Creatly Insurance Surgery New York.—Special investigation of the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance Society within a year have cost that corporation $300,000.

It surpasses comprehension how all the new hotels in New York City find sufficient business to support them. Magnificent new structures are constantly going up, and every leading hotel appears to be full.

The other day Collier's Weekly made a prophecy in regard to the future of the President. It said that he would probably enlarge the scope of his hunting expeditions and possibly go to India to get a shot at a tiger or a lion. It predicted that all the luck would be on his side and that a tiger skin would eventually grace his collection. The Leadville Herald Democrat has already gone on record in the matter of predicting what the President will do when he retires from the White House. It is somewhat in line with Collier's. We are quite certain, says the Herald Democrat, without having any definite information, that when the President leaves the cares of public office he will make an extended tour around the world. That is the only logical and natural thing for him to do. He is easily the foremost man in the eye of the world to-day. He is peculiarly admired and praised by every sovereign of Europe. He himself, as we understand it, has never been abroad, and he will naturally want to see what there is to be seen on the planet. Incidentally of course he would go tiger hunting in India and lion hunting in Africa, for we believe that the trip will take him not only along the regulation paths of tourist travel, but into the nooks and crannies of the globe where white men do not often go on personally conducted tours. We guess this prediction is all right. When a fellow falls in love with an heiress he is apt to regard marriage as both a luxury and a necessity. OVER SEA HABIT Difference on This Side the Water. The persistent craze upon the house of caffeine in coffee cannot but result in the gravest conditions, in time. Each attack of the drug (and that means each cup of coffee) weekends the organ a little more, and the end is almost a matter of mathematical demonstration. A lady writes from a Western state: "I am of German descent and it was natural that I should learn at a very early age to drink coffee. Until I was 23 years old I drank scarcely anything else at my meals. "A few years ago I began to be affected by a steadily increasing nervousness, which eventually developed into a distressing heart trouble that made me very weak and miserable. Then, some three years ago, was added asthma in its worst form. My sufferings from these things can be better imagined than described. "During all this time my husband realized more fully than I did that coffee was injurious to me, and made every effort to make me stop. "Finally it was decided a few months ago, to quit the use of coffee absolutely, and to adopt Postum Food Coffee as our hot table drink. I had but little idea that it would help me, but consented to try it to please my husband. I prepared it very carefully, exactly according to directions, and was delighted with its delicious flavor and refreshing qualities. "Just as soon as the poison from the coffee had time to get out of my system the nutritive properties of the Postum began to build me up, and I am now fully recovered from all my nervousness, heart trouble and asthma. I gladly acknowledge that now, for the first time in years, I enjoy perfect health, and that I owe it all to Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little cook, "The Road to Wellville" in pigs. Postum Food Coffee contains no drugs of any description. whatsoever. GUILTY OF CONTEMPT. Supreme Court Decision in Case of Senator Patterson. Denver.—The Supreme Court of Colorado Monday morning handed down two opinions in the Senator Patterson contempt case. The majority opinion, which found Senator Patterson guilty, was written by Justice Julius C. Gunter and was approved by Justices Gabbert, Campbell, Gunter, Bailey, Maxwell and Goddard. The minority opinion, which found that the respondent was not guilty of contempt, was by Justice Robert W. Steele. The written opinion of the Colorado court, having been made public, the News, Senator Patterson's paper, announces that the attorneys for Senator Patterson will ask the Supreme Court of the United States to take jurisdiction in the case. The appeal to the highest court in the land will be made within the next few days. The majority opinion of the court covers 168 typewritten pages. The main points made in the document may be stated as follows: First—That an affidavit is not essential to the jurisdiction of the court in cases of constructive contempt. Second—That the offense of constructive contempt was committed by the respondent by publishing the articles set out in the information and that a direct contempt was committed by filling the answer. Third—That it is immaterial whether the articles or the averments of the answer were true or false. Justice Steele's dissenting opinion, which is of great length, is summarized by himself as follows: "The court made a mistake in instituting the proceeding; a mistake in holding that an affidavit is not essential to its jurisdiction; a mistake in holding that the acts of the respondent constituted contempt. But infinitely greater than these was the mistake it made in holding the truth to be immaterial. For, aside from the fact that it denied to the respondent important constitutional rights, in the very nature of things those who before believed the charges to be true are now confirmed in their belief, and those who did not believe them now have their confidence in the court shaken solely because of the action of the court in refusing the respondent a hearing and denying him the right to offer proof in support of the charges, and in holding that it is entirely immaterial whether the matter published is true or false. . . . As I am of the opion that it is not a crime in this state to write, speak or publish the truth of or concerning the official conduct of public officers. I must dissent from the judgment." BOARD OF PARDONS. Shovs Leniency to Six Prisoners at Canon City The Board of Pardons considered about a score of applications for pardon Friday. Favorable action was taken in the following cases: John Knapp, Lake county, murder and burglary, sentence commuted from life to two years. Edna May, larceny from the person, Denver, pardoned. George T. Hamil, Conejos county, sentence of three to ten years, commuted to two and one-half to ten years. Nell Brandon, Denver, robbery, sentence of five to six years commuted to two to six years. Peter Miller and Michael Dowd, sentenced March 15, 1905, to a term of three to five years, election frauds, commuted to a term of seven months to five years. An official statement giving the reasons of the board for the commutation was issued as follows: "We have established the fact that election criminals can be convicted in this county, a thing that has not been done for the past ten years. "That it was the opinion of the board that a lesson had been taught them, and they now believe the people would not in any way tolerate any further attempts of this character. We are now fortified with a new registration law and this character of crime will be eliminated in the future. "That the sentences of the men who were convicted by the Supreme Court had expired and further, that the law and order league were favorable to the commutation at this time. "That the commutation of sentences of these men will not establish any precedent for this board in the future." Failed Savings Bank Dividend. Denver.—A Canon City dispatch says: Assignee Lafe Combs of the defunct Canon Savings Bank, which closed its doors last August, has been authorized by Judge Bailey of the District Court to declare a ten per cent, dividend to depositors. It is thought the resources of the institution will permit about one more dividend of the same amount. The 205 depositors of the home savings department of the bank, mostly women and children, having small deposits, were paid in full and all small deposits of $5 or less were paid in full by a wealthy and charitable friend of the late president of the bank. Believes in Jewish Nation. London.—"I believe that somewhere on this broad earth of ours, if not in Palestine, then somewhere else; where, I cannot say, there will someday be a nation of the Jews." This was the significant remarks made by James Bryce, chief secretary for Ireland, at the dinner which celebrated the 250th anniversary of the readmission of the Jews into England, Mr. Bryce's toast was to the prosperity of the Anglo-Jewish community. He added that until the Jewish nation was established he hoped the Jews would stay in England, as they added to the prosperity of the nation. To Abolish Highest Rank. Washington.—Provision for the abolition of the grade of lieutenant general, the highest rank in the army, is made in the army appropriation bill which has been ordered reported to the House from the committee on military affairs. FIGHTING OVER FOOTBALL. Bickering of Students May End in Destroying the Game. In the uproar raised among college students and alumni of the middle West by the action of the recent faculty conference on football reform there seems to be a general overlooking of the main point, says the Chicago Tribune. From practically every university belonging to the "big nine," and some which do not, have come protests against this or that recommendation. So far as the students are concerned there is unanimous approval of none of the recommendations, but their protests are directed at different angles, according to how the reforms will affect their own institutions. It is forgotten, apparently, that the nine faculty representatives voted unanimously to recommend the abolition of the game of football as it has been played, and that several, at least, of the universities will stand by that action. The faculties are weary of the public's impression that universities are founded to develop football elevens, and that men go to college to earn a varsity sweater instead of a degree. They are weary of having great institutions of learning lowered in dignity by the prominence of a game into which so much is evil and unsportsmanlike has been allowed to creep through the overpowering desire to win. They have determined to dethrone the king of college sports by depriving it of its greatest attractions for the public by cutting down its immense revenues and permitting only a limited number of intercollegiate games in a year so as to prevent the deciding of a "championship" if possible. They have determined to reform the game until it is so different its present admirers will not like it. And the students and alumni will find, when it comes to a show of hands, that these faculties will have the final say. Students and alumni, who are bending all their efforts toward warding off some reform which does not suit their own individual ideas or colleges, would do better to direct their forces toward saving some part of football. The retention o. the professional coach, the question of who proposed this reform or that, and the three-year rule are mighty small matters beside the question whether foot ball is to be retained generally as a college sport or by only a few institutions. HERO FUND AWARD. Medals and Money to Life Saving Fishermen. Capt, Mark Casto, of the fishing schooner Alberta, and his crew of six men, who January 14th in a fierce gale rescued the crew of forty-two and ten passengers from the steamer Cherokee, which ran aground on Brigantine shoals near Atlantic City, New Jersey, while on the way from San Domingo to New York, have been made beneficiaries of the Carnegie here fund for their herolsm. Beside medals to the captain and crew, a sum aggregating $9,500, is awarded. This is the quickest action taken by the Carnegie hero fund commission since its inception. Captain Casto, beside receiving a gold medal, is awarded $1,500 for liquidating the mortgage on his property at Pleasantville, New Jersey. Five thousand dollars is to be set aside as a special fund for the education of Mark Jacob Casto, the nine-year-old son of Captain Casto. The crew, Nels Gregerson, Frederick Bouchie, Marcus Nelsen, Joseph M. Shate, Axel Holmquist and Lewis J. Johnson, beside receiving a silver medal, are each awarded $500, such sum to be placed to the credit of each as a savings fund, in trust, for two years from the date of the award, the income to be paid semi-annually to the beneficiaries until the expiration of the trust, and then the principal to be paid in full with the proviso that, in the event of the death of the beneficiary during this trust, the principal and interest then standing to his credit shall be paid to his next of kin. The money and medals are to be awarded at once. A further resolution was passed expressing the high appreciation of the bravery and devotion to duty shown in connection with the wreck of the Cherokee January 12th, 13th and 14h, 1906, by members of the United States lifesaving crews of North and South Brigantine stations.

Address THE MKT AND METROCITY LAND & LEASE SCHOOL WOMEN'S INTERESTS Midwinter Designs Black cloth costumes relieved with trimmings of bright velvet, outlined with black braid, are among the newest midwinter designs, and the hats are made to match the gowns; black with trimmings of the bright velvet, with ostrich tips or small wings of the same color. Most becoming and effective was one such costume, whose skirt hung full and gracefully about the feet. The train was quite long, while just around the hem of the skirt, three inches from the ground, was a band of rebel fur, the only bit of fur on the costume. The waist was made with a small, round transparent lace yoke, below which fell almost to the waist line a deep lace bertha. The transparent lace sleeves were large, and shirred down the centre beneath narrow strips of cloth. Valenciennes lace, with a bit of Irish appliqué, was used for the bodice. A New Lingerie. Among the newest things in corset covers are the boned taffet and fine jersey waists, tight-fitting, and taking the place of the corset for many thin people when wearing loose frocks, and also being worn by those of full figure as corset covers. Many of these are laced in the back and on one shoulder. They are admirable in concealing the break at the corset top and in giving the smooth-line effects so desirable. As usual in lingerie, much of it coming from Paris and beautifully worked, is in palest blues, lavenders, pinks and buffs or deep cream. Often their white garments are embroidered in colors, and some of the fine linen underwear has tiny flowers in blue, lavender, pink or even red on the white gown. Of brown beaver, bound with brown taffeta, with two shaded feathers caught by a cluster of roses. Secret of Wavy Hair. A girl whose hair is only slightly wavy naturally is increasing the effect by her arrangement of it at night. Dampness makes the wave. Before going to bed she brushes her hair thoroughly, and then braids it loosely. With a damp, soft, wide nail brush, reserved for the purpose, she lightly brushes over the whole head, and then raises the braid from her neck to remove the weight of it from the roots. With her fingers she then pats the waves into place and with three pins holds the braid at the back of the head. The braid itself is still down, but instead of hanging from her neck it is at the back of her head. In the morning her hair is in deep waves that brush out as she is doing it up, but reappear when dampened. After her hair is entirely dressed she ties over it a thin veil for fifteen minutes, and when that is removed her hair looks as though it were just from the hands of a hair dresser, only far prettier. Flounces Are Popular. Flouces still have their day as leaders in decoration. Circular ones have come back with the circular skirt and full flouces of lace and sheer stuffs are the delight of party-goers. Little frilly rules make a pretty trimming at all times, and when these are finished with an edge of ruching or ribbon along the hem the effect is dainty indeed. Lining Vells. The fashion of lining fancy veils with a becoming shade of chiffon is increasing. One girl was seen wearing a new and extremely becoming veil of the finest tulle in a fetching shade of marron. Delicate scrolls of cheenile wandered over the hem and there was a powdering of large and small dots over the rest of the surface. It was worn with a small sable toque, drawn neatly over the face. It was crossed at the back and tied in an immense bow under the clim, the ends being tucked in the front of the jacket. This shade of marron is wonderfully becoming to a clear complexion, and especially with its cobwe lining of chiffon in pale blush rose tint. Very few women realize that pale blue tulle makes a stunning for the winter veil, particularly when combined with silvery gray net, as it adds a delicate bloom to fresh cheeks, and, if spotted with white, the effect is quite fairylike. For Small Girls. Many people dress small girls entirely in white muslin the year round and dressy gowns mean no more than a little finer material and more elaborate workmanship. The sheerest of materials has underslips of India silk, sometimes in pale colors, sometimes in white. A luxurious little gown for a girl of 10 was composed of 9 ounces of hand-embroidered mull or batiste. THE FASHION OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY the embroidery a combination of English eyeclet and French stitches. Two flouces formed the skirt, while a third was arranged as a bertha on the low-necked blouse. The blouse itself was plain save for a group of ten fine, hand-run tucks down the front and similar groups in the back where the blouse closed. The sleeves were two small puffs finished above the elbow with a short ruffle of the embroidery. A soft sash of palest pink messaline with deeply fringed ends was worn and an underslip of pale pink silk gave the gown a warmer appearance than it might otherwise have had. Corks can be made sound and airtight by boiling. Camphor put in drawers or trunks will keep away mice. Keep an account of all supplies, with cost and date when purchased. When chopping suet sprinkle with a little ground rice; it will not then stick to the knife. Clean windows with a flannel dipped in paraffin and polish with a clean duster. It imparts a fine polish. Suet that has become hard and stale can be made fresh and usable by placing in boiling water for a few minutes. Grease spots on silks can be removed by splitting a visiting card and rubbing the spots with the soft internal parts. Two pads the size and shape of kettle-holders and sewn to a piece of tape are useful for lifting hot dishes out of an oven. Fashionable Skating Costumes. Many fashionable skating costumes are made with boleros of fur or astrakhan or velvet with trimmings of fur. One is a gray cloth bolero, and the skirt trimming is made of gray astrakhan andermine tails held in place by green velvet buttons, on which gold Empire crowns are placed. It has a roll collar and an insertion of green velvet covered with Irish lace. The waistcoat is of velvet, fastening with a single row of buttons of gold. Tulle lace volants trim the sleeves. The Princess skirt has an attached stay. Old-Fashioned Suet Bread. One pound of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 6 cups flour, $ \frac{1}{2} $ pound lard, 1 quart milk, 2 yeastcakes, 2 well-beaten eggs and $ \frac{1}{2} $ pound each of currants and raisins; rub lard and flour together with tips of fingers, add sugar, salt, raisins and currants (currants should be well cleaned and perfectly dry); add eggs to milk that has been scalded and left to get just lukewarm, and lastly, add the yeastcakes that have been dissolved in a little warm milk; set to raise over night, in the morning treat just the same as plain white bread, knead, form into loaves, let raise until light (about one hour), bake about one hour in moderate oven. WHILE THE TEA DREWS The oddest and quaintest of all buckles are used on hats. White feathers on a black hat will be found becoming to most faces. Narrow belts of black patent leather with gilt monogram claps are good. The smartest waists are worn outside the skirt and finished with a blasfold of satin or velvet. A beautiful muff and boa set is of ostrich and marabou combined in that dark smoke gray known as taupe. A clear stone gray is a very fashionable color for coat and skirt frocks, which are nicely topped off with a hat of darker gray. The short-waisted empire coat is seen on every side, and will doubtless be worn by those for whom fashion never designed it. The New Skirts. While sleeves dominate the style to a certain extent there is always some degree of independence about the new skirts, which seem to have a way all their own. Skirts are made round and are trimmed with three deep tucks. This style is one of the most generally accepted of the season's modes for the house. Even the plainer of the tailored costumes show a tendency this way, namely to the three deep tucks, with or without any other trimming. One can buy a handsome quality of cloth, cashmere, zibeline, Scottish goods or serge, and make it up quite elegantly with no more detail than the making of three deep tucks upon the skirt. The hips can be finished with the conventional box pleats or with shirring. For a waist there should be either a plaid silk or a pretty lightweight wool over which the coat can be easily slipped. This makes an ideal trotting suit for everyday wear. A Gay Little Bonnet Of black chiffon, with red roses and an aigrette. Many Ways to Bleach Linen. To Take Off Paint—Equal parts of ammonia and spirits of turpentine will take paint out of clothing, no matter how dry or hard it may be. Saturate the spot two or three times, and then wash out in soapsuds. Yellowed linen can be bleached by laying it in buttermilk for two or three days. To Take Out Machine Oil—Rub with a little lard or butter and wash in warm water and soap, or simply rub first with a little soap and wash out in cold water. To Restore Velvet—When velvet gets crushed from pressure hold the parts over a basin of hot water, with the lining of dress next to water. The pile will soon rise and assume its original beauty. For a Stunning Effect. Here is an idea, from a devotee of fashion in Paris, for a tall, slim blonde: A trained coat, princess in shape, of palest gray broadcloth, buttoned straight down the front to the corset's end, and fitting like a glove. The godets fall into a skirt of rich folds, turning a little at the front hem, to reveal silvery linings. A flat stitched bolero gives the empire touch, which, however, is invisible at a distance. A large picture hat, tilted, is of deep gray-blue. A silver hand-bag, pale gray mousquetaire gloves meet the half elbow sleeves, and a big gray tulle Pierrot ruff complete the picture.
