Very few persons outside of the glittering circle of our enormously rich families, who constitute what is referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman in this or any other country can spend on her wardrobe such a amount of money as beyond that the daughters of some of these families. The history of the world does not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dress. Nor, for the matter of that, does the history of the 'world show so riotous a use of money as that practiced by our very rich in their strictly social divertisms. Happy is the lot of the man or woman who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy! Fled from Gas. "I had a friend," said the bearded man, "who got out of paying a bill he owed in an original way. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he would see him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, shut the doors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, came quickly out, and had his camera out. The parlor he hurried upstairs. Do you think that collector waited a few minutes for him to come down? Not on your photograph. He fled from that gas filled room in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three he'd have been suffocated." Good Enough for the Dog. Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's laps from correct speech, all the more because his reports from school were always good. "Bobby," she said, plaintively, one day, "way do you keep telling Major to 'set up' when you know sit up' is you should sit up." Bobby had hardened, "of course I have lots of grammar, but I don't like to waste it on Mabie, when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog." "Youth's Companion." Speaking of Fathers Two kids had been engaged in a heated argument over the respective merits of their sires, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing! My father was in the army, and once, when he was standing on a hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and be fired the cannon and killed the whole war."—Judge's Library. Hope. "Woman is naturally more hopeful than man," began the moralist. "Yes," interrupted the plain man. "There's my wife, for instance; every time she has had occasion to buy fish since we started housekeeping she has asked her dealer if they were fresh, hoping, suppose, that some day he'll say no." Each to His Trade. "I'm more useful than you are," posted the colle. "Yes?" replied the bulldog. "You don't say?" "Yes. You should see me go for the sheep when they start to run away." "Well, wait until some tramps come here and when they start to run way watch me go for the calves." Turkish War Expenses.

A collector in this city paid the other day $275 for a Chippdale armchair, Chairs of less unusual pattern are very few of which cost $26 and $100. New York letter. A Woman Without Home Duties. A woman who has no home duties, or who does not attend to such duties, is a pest to her acquaintances. It may take her a long time to make her breakfast tea, but her outside garments once decided to make a morning or afternoon call. She will not work, and the will not let her neighbors work. Her acquaintances are kept in a state of chronic discomfort in the expectation of a visit, and a door-bell in her vicinity cannot ring without striking terror to the heart of the lady of the house. A call from this idle person means simply loss of time without the slightest compensation. The work in the kitchen or the nursery must be abandoned, and this means, with practical, conscientious housekeepers, not only a giving up of the work for the time, but for a considerable time. The work planned for that day, and outted for that day, means overwork at another time, confusion and anxiety. What can be more exasperating than to be compelled to entertain an idle person to the neglect of necessary duties? It occasionally is all the antagonism and latent unness in one's nature. Hands and brain are all ready for the work which has been deferred for this time. "When will she go?" the spirit keeps asking. "If she will only go now I can rush through with the work, and the morning will not be a lost one." But the visitor does not go. In fact, it is a rare thing for this particular kind of caller to take leave until the utmost limit of time is reached, as well as the utmost limit of her hostess's patience. So, declares the New York Weekly, sensible ladies protect themselves by feeling at liberty to report that they are engaged when the idle woman thrusts her company upon people who do not admire her or her conversation. Department Store at Close Range. Because it is volume of business that counts, every department store, of course, tries to keep stock as low as possible. Everything must be kept moving. Under the old system a store would buy a whole year's supply of staples and a season's supply of other goods. But it is not so now, and the modern method throws upon the shoulders of manufacturer and wholesaler the risks that formerly were assumed by the retail store, to the grave disorganization of the business of those who supply the big stores. Most women know that as a rule the things offered in bargain sales are sold below the actual cost of manufacture, say Harley Davis in Everybody's. Now the bargain sale is popularly supposed to serve a double purpose—to attract people to the store and to get rid of old goods. The first proposition is always true, while the latter applies to only about one-tenth of the bargain sales. The manufacturer stands the loss, for there is a very considerable loss, of the other nine-tenths. It is axiomatic among the department store owners that there is always a manufacturer who is willing to sell some of his output at a great sacrifice. It may be because he finds himself stocked with goods for which there is no demand at the prices for which they were made to sell; oftener, he is hard pressed for ready money. But what the cause, the result is a bargain sale in a department store. And in all cases, except the one bargain sale in ten, by which the store is getting rid of its own goods that haven't been sold, the establishment makes its regular standard profit. It is stated that English scientists are giving Lowell observatory credit for establishing the existence of artificial canals on Mars, and English physicians and artists are endorsing Prof. Starr's theory that children should go naked for ten years or so. Thanks, awfully; but America in general would prefer credit for the Panama canal and its unrivaled lines of children's clothing, both of which are better suited to plain, everyday navigation than the ideas advanced in England. America has some brilliant thinkers, but its long suit is common sense. A former famous football player of Princeton proposes to go down to Central America and take a hand in the political game there. He probably thinks that after several campaigns on college football fields a life scrimage like a Latin-American revolution will be hardly worth mentioning. A St. Louis man had his head shaved and his wife told him that he doesn't come home. If a determined woman is not to have her favorite exercise of hauling man about by the hair what possible use can she have for the masculine animal? Thirty cents is the amount at which a Chicago judge valued a woman's broken heart in a breach of promise suit recently. At this rate it is more profitable to get an arm broken in a streetcar accident. That Denver man who says that his aliphah will go from New York to Chicago in three hours evidently doesn't fear that he will encounter speed ordinances projecting upward from the villages over which he fares. A girl in London has developed ten different distract personalities. If that girl were only a man and over here, how invaluable the owner C* such a peculiarity would prove in a close election. IN ONE YEAR CLEARS $1,01,021 ON $2,228,755 INVESTMENT. Attorneys Say that Some Profits Have Been Twenty Times Actual Cost of Operation. New York, Sept. 27.—The Indiana Pipe Line company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil, made a profit of $4,091,022 in 1863 on a total investment of $2,228,758, according to the company's figures produced by George Chebeshe, controller of the National Pipe Line company, which appeared as a contributor in the federal suit against the oil combine.

Folger, JR., owns the Corsicana Refining company of Texas, under examination yesterday stated that the tanks and receiving vessels of the New York Transit company were called the National Transit company of New Jersey, and that the terminals of the pipe lines of the National Transit company at Centre Bridge, Penna, and Fond Grove, Penna, were built the year the Hepburn law went into of Mr. Payne was stating that he supposed there was some legal reason for building these receiving stations on the state line between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and Maryland, when John G.

FISH BACK AT HARAHAN Charges Are Old, Asserts Fighting Former President New York, Sept. 27 - Stuyvesant Fish is still on the job. Last evening he made public a reply to the circular letter sent out on Tuesday last by President Harahan who declared that the charges made by Mr. Harahan were not new, but had been published long ago and "can met by me and disposed of," he said on one of the statements decided by the stockholders of the Illinois Central at the coming annual meeting is nowhere touched upon," said Mr. Fish.

MILAN BOST MILA TO MEXICO TO MANILA TO CERULEK, IA CHYMGO ATTER-OCEAN MAY EXTEND WIRE STRIKE MAY EXTEND WIRE STRIKE GOTHAM LOCAL WANTS LEASED WIRE MEN CALLED OUT. Await Sanction of National Officers and Ask Them to Take Action Throughout. New York—The New York local of the Commercial Telegraphers' union voted Wednesday night to call out all leased wire operators employed by the press and brokers' offices in this city, if such action shall be sanctioned by the national officers. Action by the national officers will be awaited before anything further is done. It was voted also to ask the national offers to issue a call for the brokers' and press telegraphers throughout the country to quit work. The demand upon the men who are now working under contract is made in the interests of those who have struck against the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. The decision to call upon the press and broker operators to break their individual contracts and go out in a sympathetic strike was reached after a heated debate which occupied several hours of a meeting of the New York City labor union. It was declared that the strikers were practically unanimous. Daniel L. Russell, chairman of the strike committee, who until Wednesday had opposed the movement for a sympathetic strike, made a vigorous speech in which he reversed his position and declared that expediency demanded such a war measure as was proposed. An amendment introduced by John G. McCloskey of the Hearst News Service, exempting from the strike operators of leased jobs who were bound by a union contract with their employers, signed six months previous to the strike of the commercial men, was defeated, amid much cheering, by a resolution passed with little opposition. After the meeting Chairman Russell said if the present course was not effective the railroad operators would be called upon to quit work. GREAT NORTHERN DEFEATED.

Chicago—The now famous Bonaparte letter urging immunity for the Chicago & Oil and Union Tank line rebate case came out Tuesday morning when Judge Landis had the special federal and jury brought before him. The letter was read to District Attorney Sims shortly after the jurors were brought into the courtroom preliminary to the judge's taking up the Alton matter. The communication, however, was soon forgotten when Judge Landis began asking the Standard Oil attorney's about the yellow panphlet which appeared from the offices of the company shortly after the $2,000,000 fine was imposed. One of the statements in the yellow panphlet was that if the Standard Oil company was guilty of wrongdoing in accepting rebates, then many large manufacturing companies in the middle west likewise were guilty, for it was sold these practices had been carried on for 9 years. Judge Landis then ruled that the Alton attorney should be granted the immunity promised by former District Attorney Morrison and insisted upon in the letter from Attorney General Bonaparte, but that the special grand jury should continue in existence to investigate the charges contained in the oil company's yellow circular. The court ordered that James A. Moffett, president of the Standard Oil company of Indiana, be sued to appear before the court to explain that of other many facturing concerns had been guilty of violating the law on rebates.

The press committee of the Proprieary Association of America will present at the next meeting of that body a report showing the number of acid dental deaths caused by patent medicine in the two years ending June 30 1907, as compared with deaths from other causes. other care. Almost immediately after the beginning of the latest crushage against proprietary medicines this committee was instructed to collect data. This work was done through the clipping branches, which furnished accounts of all deaths, exclusive of suicide, due to the misuse of medicines, drugs or poisones. The result showed that only three per cent. could be traced directly to the products made by the members of the association. The greatest care is said to have been exercised in tabulating the figures received. Whenever the cause of death was doubtful, special inves tigation was made, no matter where the case might have occurred. The work of assorting and preparing the record was done in Chicago, and the original clippings and correspondence are in the possession of Ervin F. Johnson, 515 East Street, that city, the association's public agent. The report says, in part: "A large number of accidents, resulting fatally or otherwise, were caused by the carelessness of persons who left drugs, medicines or poisons within the reach of children. A large number, also, were caused by persons going to medicine cabinets in the dark and taking down the wrong book in no case reported. In some cases, held responsible for injury or death except when learnt within the reach of children or taken or administered in gross overdose." The committee says that it is unlikely that any cases of death from the use of patent medicine escaped the newspapers, but that it is probable that death from the causes tabulated did occur without receiving puberty. Physicians, of course, report that they would be the last to suppress the cause if due to the use of medicine not regularly prescribed A recapitulation of the committee's findings show 4,255 cases of poisoning of which 1,753 were fatal. The great list number of cases, 1,636, with 803 deaths, is attributed to medicines other than proprietary remedies There are on the list 90 cases of sickness and 13 deaths due to patent medicines. Analyzing its statistics, the committee finds 201 cases of sickness, with 143 deaths, due to strychnine tablets which are among physicians' favorite remedies and are often left within the reach of children. Under the head of miscellaneous prescriptions are grouped 44 cases which say, "if it says, it has been impossible after diligence to ascertain the name or the character the drug or medicine which caused in injury or death, beyond the fact that the medicine or drug was prescribed by a physician. Of these cases 18 were fatal. The committee says: "Under the head of 'All Patent Medicines' are grouped all those remedies which are recognized as patent medicines and which are advertised direct to the public for internal use. Competent authorities say that at least one-half of the medicines taken in the United States are of the kind known as 'patent medicine', and in two years among $80,000,000 people there have been but ninety case (forty-three fatal) that have been reported in the newspapers from the use or misuse of these remedies." Not in a single fully substantiate case is it ever charged that any pat ant medicine in recommended doser was injurious. In this connection it should be understood that in making death certificates and in reporting cases of injury to the newspapers from which these cases were secured a physician had the final word, and in this connection is there any probability that the doctor will hide his own carelessness or neglect or that of a fellow practitioner whose support he may want at some time, and in there even a possibility that he might hide any responsibility that could be yourself these questions. Ask yourself these questions. You have found the answer, consider that during all this most thorough and careful, investigation covering a period of two years, in not a single established case was it shown that patent medicine in recommended doses was injurious. The most remarkable case reported was that of an Italian laborer in New York who suffered from pains in the chest. A physician ordered a porous plaster which the patient ate, with fatal results. Wear Palamas on Care "I learned something from the porter on our train this morning," said a hotel guest.

Marietta, O. — Many thousands of dollars' loss was caused Tuesday by a fire that destroyed most of the plant of the Sterling Oil refinery. The conflagration raged for seven hours, dying down only when there was nothing more for the flame to feed upon. The water pumps were out of order but several lines of steam were played into the fire and by strenuous efforts ten tanks of crude oil on a hill above the works were saved as the wind was blowing in the opposite direction. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have originated in a retort in which bones used in clarifying oil are reduced to char. Over 200 barrels of machine oil and 14 tanks of refined oil and much finished product was destroyed. The officials of the company refuse to give the amount of fuel. The Sterling company is one of the independents mentioned in the list as making agreements to sell the entire product to the Standard Oil company in exchange for crude oil.
