The Illinois State Historical society proposes a commemoration of the fifteenth anniversary of the celebrated debate between Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. One special exercise will be held in connection with the annual meeting of the society in January next and other appropriate ceremonies are planned for the several cities where the two statesmen met in discussion of the stirring questions of half a century ago. In some of the most striking passages of an interesting book, "The Illini," a survivor of that ante-bellum period gives a description of the excitement which prevailed in Illinois during the progress of the senatorial campaign of 1858. Seven times the rivals met in joint debate before multitudes of their fellow citizens. By the thousands the people of Illinois came to the place of contest. They brought their provisions with them and camped out. There were processions and music and bonfires. And when the two central figures took the stage there was no subject of discussion except the great one whose various aspects were to be indicated by the champions in the forensic battle. Before the winter of 1858-1859 came the whole country was talking about "the Freeport doctrine," about "a house divided against itself cannot stand," about "the union cannot per- --- S air presence and every this year for the full entertainment of the this year's exercise..... gram Season's Latest ULARS LATER 4TH JULY 4TH manently endure, half slave and half free." Douglas won re-election to the senatorship from Illinois. But the "greater game" which Lincoln said he wa hunting came to the man from Sangamon. The ability shown in the debate made him the logical candidate of the republican party and one of the utterances made in the same debate kept his rival from winning the presidency in 1860. The "Douglas-Lincoln debate" of 1858 was for its generation what the "Webster-Hayne debate" was for the people of an earlier day. The latter was fought within the narrow walls of the senate. The other took place in the wider forum of Illinois. The two will always stand out in American history as splendid illustrations of the power of oratory in a time of critical importance to the people. It is a good idea to have a celebration in 1908. Illinois is proud of the two great contestants. There will naturally be more of Lincoln than of Douglas in the commemoration for the world loves to recall the virtues of the winner. But there is enough of historic Importance in the great debate to make the marking of its fififtieth anniversary a notable occasion in the annals of the commonwealth. There are many still living who were present at one debate or another. To get these now venerable citizens together and listen to their reminiscences will be sufficient to make the day at each of the places one long to be re- membered. The half century since Illinois citizens heard Douglas and Lincoln debate has witnessed surprising changes. Ottawa, Freeport, Jonesboro, Charleston, Galesburg, Quincy and Alton have grown in different degrees. In celebrating the glory of two of its great sons the commonwealth will have just reason for pride in its own development. The plan for a semi-centennial commemoration is a good one. Probably carried out it will be an historic occasion. PENROSE BACKS BLACK TROOPS. Says Whites Shot Up the Town.—Senator Foraker Making Strong Fight Before Senate Committee. Washington.-The senate committee on military affairs heard the testimony of Alexander J. Levie, who as first sergeant of Company L, Twenty-sixth Infantry, at the time it was ordered from Brownsville, Texas, on the arrival of the Negro troops. Levie testified that he heard conversations on the streets in Brownsville showing that a strong feeling existed among citizens against the Negro soldiers being ordered there. A communication from Gen. Garlington was presented to the committee, stating that 2,456 enlisted men are on the retired list of the army, all having served more than thirty years with good records. This information had been called for to meet the claim of Senator Foraker that Mingo Sanders' record of twenty-six years without unfavorable record was exceptional. Senator Foraker said he would write to the War Department and ask whether any of the 2,456 men on the retired list has served without a single reprimand, as was the case with Sanders. A special from Washington states that Maj. Penrose swears that white citizens shot up Brownesville, and scattered shells over the town. BE DECENT. Young man, why don't you be decent? Why not grow to manhood with honor and credit instead of a stain upon your character? It is just as easy. It is always easier to be a man than to be a rowdy. Cigarettes, gambling and whisky have had many a wrestle with boys long before you came on the scene, and they have never yet been thrown. Don't get the idea into your head that you can turn the trick. If you don't want to be decent out of respect for mother and father and others. There is one heart whose sorrows should appeal to you. There is one who has to bear the cross for your foolishness. You don't want your trail through this world stained with a mother's tears. The boy who turns a brazen face to a mother's grief never gets very far on the road to happiness. When he gets a little older you find his name on the police docket of various citie. A little later the dark shadows of stone walls loom up across his pathway. Without honor, home or friends 'tis a sad picture, but it is painted every day in every town in this broad land. The pathway of the transgressor is one of rocks and thorns. When you bruise your feet the world will laugh at you, just as you laughed at your mother's appeals. There is only one system for a boy to follow. Be decent. It always pays dividends.—Ex. IF IT EVER HAPPENED YOU'LL FIND IT IN THE SEARCHLIGHT. WHY NOT SUBSCRIBE? PAPER. We have ten million people in this country, five million of whom read newspapers; but they read white newspapers. Why? We can't crack it at nut. We have sixty thousand 87.0 Americans in Greater New York, thirty thousand of whom read the white daily newspapers, while not more than five thousand of them can be got to read the Negro newspaper, which is devoted exclusively to their interests. A like condition exists in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago and other large cities. These people appear to be dead to their own best interests, for they get but a contemptuous and meager hearing, in news or opinion, in the white newspapers in any section of the country. And this indifference on the part of the Afro-American people affects not only such a business as newspaper publication, but all other business enterprises conducted by people of their own. It is not because the newspapers are not good and strong, and could easily be made more so. It is simply a question of money. We can make the newspaper, but we can't make the money required to make the newspaper. The Negro expects the newspapers to stand at their posts fighting the cause of the Afro-American people with intelligence and courage, in sunshine and shadow, and the privations they have undergone would make a big book full of agony. It is high time that the Afro-American people should wake up to the fact that they cannot have great newspapers and great editors unless they pay for what they want in cold cash, unless they support such newspapers. If each subscriber will secure another subscriber we can do it, and we will do it. A short time ago a young man in a small town ecured and sent us ten subscribers in a bunch and said that she would send more. Let others take hold in the same way and we shall have a paper to cover all the needs of the race. NOTICE DAUGHTERS! NOTICE DAUGHTERS!

The celebration of the 9th anniversary of the beginning of the Wichita Searchlight, in Kansas, which will be held at Redman Hall, Thursday night, July 4th, has a more far-fetched and important meaning than a mere simplicity. To that member of the Negro race, for whom the Searchlight has always stood, and to the race in general, it is indeed, a most important racial event. It means for one thing that the Searchlight through nine years has withstood the great wave of obstructions and has ever stood as a beaconlight pointing the race to higher and more noble deeds. It means again that for nine years in season and out of season, through good report and through bad report the race has had an organ through which its complaints were made known, its ill-treatment exposed and its progress and good deeds heralded to the whole world. Then, again, it means that in Wichita and this locality the colored people have for nine years had a race paper which has put forth every effort to spread to the whole world the good name of these people. It also means that for the past nine years this community has had a newspaper published by a Negro which has not depended upon political campaigns for existence but has published every week in the year regardless to political campaign. The colored people of this community should feel proud of the efforts put forth by the Searchlight during the past nine years to keep a race organ in their community. One thing certain it has by no means been an easy job. Our anniversaries are for the sole purpose of indelibly marking each year as we pass it and the colored people owe it to themselves to come out and assist us in our efforts. Thus our ninth anniversary at Redman Hall, Thursday night, July 4th means much to every colored man, woman and child and everyone should take advantage of this opportunity to be at Redman Hall, Thursday night, July 4th. Editing a Negro paper is a thankless job—some people will cuss you if you do—and some will cuss you if you don't. It tickles us to hear both sides cussing—and after all there is fun in the job if very little money. That helps some. NO.14 IT MEANS MUCH. We are Miss Betty's Cavalier BY ZONA GALE (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) As he turned the corner the new rector's heart was beating. There was nothing formidable about the great gabled house; yet, as he walked up the drive his agitation increased. There was a glimpse of pink muslin on the veranda that was most disquieting. Horror at his sinful jealousy and petty speech possessed the rector, and he turned to the poor thin face on the pillow in a passion of remorse. The rector passed his own gate that night and went on to the chapel. He was suddenly profoundly disturbed as to his own spiritual condition. When However, he went on, and a bend in the drive revealed Miss Betty Sheridan standing upon a chair training roses. The picture, which would have agitated even a quiet heart, caused the rector to contemplate retreat. Instead, being a brave man, he stood at the foot of the steps and said gently: "Good morning. Miss Betty." Betty looked down and nodded bewitchingly, and stooped to extend her hand over the back of the chair. "You'll forgive my not getting down?" she asked. "This is a critical moment. Max, please find Mr. Armory a chair." From the vine-covered plaza came forth a big, languid figure, who gave the final touch to the uneasiness of the rector. Since his coming to the parish of St. Luke's, three months before, and since he had first seen Betty Sheridan on the same day, he had felt a secret and most un-Christian repugnance for this big cavalier, who seemed always within sound of her voice. "How do, Mr. Armory?" said the big cavalier in flannels, looking uncomfortably handsome—uncomfortably to the rector. "Come up and be cool. It's a pretty warm morning." "Very," admitted the rector. "Ah—very." "You ought not to be so busy this warm weather," volunteered Betty—and Betty was never so alluring as when she advised people for their own good. "My duties are my pleasures," said the rector. "This, for instance, Miss Sheridan." This big cavalier in flannels, with hands that one instantly knew could send a ball over a net or across a course with unerring stroke, was very like what the rector himself dreamed in his college days of becoming. This cavalier was one of her world—of Betty Sheridan's world. But to the rector had come the struggle that had ended in his taking orders, and some way since his coming to this somewhat distracted parish there had been no time to lift either his golf sticks or his foils from their long rest. Instead, there had been a ceaseless round of visits—which reminded him: "Miss Betty," he said. "I have come to enlist your sympathy this morning." Poor Agnes has had a severe fall. "She will be quite helpless, they fear, for months." The rose bough flew up with a little puff of fragrance, and Betty stepped down from the chair, and sat opposite the rector. "Oh," she said, "the poor girl! What will they do? I'll go see her today." "I thought that you would," said the rector, with a little catch in his breath. Betty's face was even more beautiful when she was in earnest than when she was mocking. "Why, yes," said the big cavaler in the doorway; "I'll drive you over after luncheon, Betty. But you'll have to be back for the tennis finals, you know." "Yes, Max," said Betty, without looking at him. "And will you ask your mother if we may have some of her roses, too? I am so sorry, Mr. Armory. We will not fail you." The Reverend Mr. Armory was ashamed of his sinful rebellion at that "we." The very fact that Betty did not look at the big cavaler when he talked, and that she ordered him about and took him and his mother's roses for granted, disturbed the rector's peace of mind. Sitting beside poor Agnes Chapman that afternoon, the Reverend Mr. Armory experienced sore trials of the spirit. His heart, which went out to the stricken girl, at the same time bounded so suddenly at the lightest footfall outside that he was deeply in doubt as to his right to be there at all, engaged in ministrations. When at last Betty appeared in the doorway with her arms filled with roses, not even the memory of whose mother's roses they were could put out the sudden passionate joy in the rector's eyes. He sat mutely near while Betty bent over the sick girl, and Betty's hair in the sun, Betty's little hand on the coarse spread, Betty's wonderful voice filled the shabby room with wonder. The Reverend Mr. Armory walked to the window to hide his emotion. And outside, stepping leisurely in the beating sun of the steep little street, his eye fell upon a bay horse and a low phaeton and the big cavalier—all waiting patiently for Betty. The rector then turned from the window, his eyes hardening. "Don't let us detain you too long, Miss Sheridan," he said evenly. "It is very hot in the street—for your friend to wait. Betty looked up wonderingly. "Who—Max?" she said. "Oh—Max." Then she lifted her chin a little in displeased surprise. "Very well," she said, "I will come some other time when I find Agnes alone." She was gone in a moment and the room was stuffy and sunny and unbearable as before, and the phaector wheels were clattering down the rough street. Horror at his sinful jealousy and petty speech possessed the rector, and he turned to the poor thin face on the pillow in a passion of remorse. The rector passed his own gate that night and went on to the chapel. He was suddenly profoundly disturbed as to his own spiritual condition. When had he ever harbored such sinful thoughts toward another? It was still and cool in the dim little chapel. The rector sank down in a pew and buried his face in his hands. Almost the burden was greater than he could bear, he thought, as he looked ahead on the dreary days of joyless toil. For, his sad heart told him, he could no longer regulate his own dreams, to say nothing of his rebellious spirit; else why should be, waking and sleeping, be dreaming of someone whom he was doomed forever to watch while she moved in that other world—her world—peopled by a train of cavaliers whose interests were like her own. The rector rose suddenly. He had never had the luxury of time for sorrow. He turned to the door, and it opened and Betty came in. She was in white, with roses in her belt, and to the Reverend Mr. Armory she was like an angelic presence in the gray chapel. Her cheeks were flushed and she was in some adorable hesitation. "Mr. Armory," she said, beseechingly, "I saw you come here—and I came to tell you—I was horrid and stupid this afternoon—you must forgive me—will you?" She held out her hand. Before he knew the rector had taken it in both his own and stood looking down at A "You Must Forgive Me—Will You?" her in a humult of thankfulness, and a fear that was sweet, like hope. "It was I," he said brokenly. "You must forgive me. You don't know what your coming there meant to me—you don't know how happy it made me. But then l—the thought that that sort of thing was my whole life to me, and just a sort of interlude to you, made me wretched and rebellious. Don't you see? It made us seem so hopeless apart. I seemed so outside your world—and I didn't want that. I wanted—" The rector stopped, amazed at his own daring. But Betty did not stop him. She met his eyes, and her own faltered a little, and her hand fluttered in his, and lay still. The rector of St. Marks looked down at her, a great, incredulous dawning in his eyes. "Did you think," said Betty then, a little defiantly, "that I wanted to go away when I did? To leave—to leave there—" Betty said "there," but her tone was "you," and the rector heard. And still he doubted—she was so throbbing with life, so keen in her love for the vague, glittering interests which the big cavalier shared— "Betty," said the rector, almost warningly, "Betty—" But the warning did not even serve himself. He drew her close to him, imprisoning her hands, sompelling her eyes. "Betty!" he cried, ringingly, "do you know what that means?" Betty's head was hidden, but he heard. "I've known since afternoon," she said, "when I had to go and play tennis, and leave you there." Had to go and play tennis. Had to go with the big cavalier! Had to leave that stuffy little room—and him! All the silent chapel was suddenly filled with little singing voices that followed them, when, presently, they were in the street, and at the gate of the gabled house. Around the corner was disappearing the big cavalier, and beside him a gown of ruffled blue. Betty laughed suddenly. "That's Charlotte," she said. "We didn't expect her till to-morrow. After she came Max was crazy at having to drive me down to—to you, at Chapman's. But I wanted to come and I made him." "Charlotte?" questioned the rector, in a kind of happy spell. Betty glanced up wonderingly, "Oh, I forgot that you wouldn't know." she said. "It's my sister Char- lotte. They—they are in love, too." "Too!"" cried the rector raptur FAILED IN SMALL THINGS. Congressman Evidently Was No Hero to, His Wife. There is a certain congressman who, whatever authority he may hold in the councils of state, is of comparatively minor importance in his own household. Indeed, it has been unkindly intimated that his wife is "the whole thing" in their establishment. Representative and Mrs. Blank had been to Baltimore one afternoon. When they left the train at Washington, on their return, Mrs. Blank discovered that her umbrella, which had been intrusted to the care of her husband, was missing. "Where's my umbrella?" she demanded. "I'm afraid I've forgotten it, my dear," meekly answered the congressman. "It must still be in the train." "In the train!" snorted the lady. "And to think that the affairs of the nation are intrusted to a man who doesn't know enough to take care of a woman's umbrella!"—Success Magazine. PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE. Benefits from New Law, Which Remains Substantially Unchanged. Through the influence of Gov. Hughes, the New York Legislature decided to make no radical changes in the new insurance law. It was pointed out by Gov. Hughes that the New York law has already accomplished widespread reforms, with proportionate benefits to policyholders, and that it should be given a thorough trial before any amendments were seriously considered. It is estimated that the cost of the mismanagement of the past did not average more than 20 cents to each policyholder, while the benefits to present and future policyholders will amount to many times more and be cumulative besides. The speed craze of the big companies and the excessive cost of securing new business was the most extravagant evil of the old managements. Under the new regime the cost of new business has already been greatly reduced, along with other economies. The showing made by the Equitable Life Assurance Society in its report for 1906 was a strong argument against meddling with the new law. In the Equitable alone there was a saving of over $2,000,000 in expenses, besides an increase in the income from the Society's assets amounting to as much more. The ratios of the Equitable's total expenses to its total income was 19.42% in 1904, 17.38% in 1905, and only 14.48% in 1906. The dividends paid to Equitable policyholders in 1906 amounted to $7,289,734, which was an increase of more than 9% over 1905. While the Equitable made a better showing than any other big company, all reported radical economies and under such conditions the Legislature wisely decided to leave the law substantially as it stands. GOOD IDEA FOR MATCHES. Double Enders Popular Among Smokers in Mexico. "Mexico may be behind us in some things, but she has us lashed to the wheel when it comes to raking matches," said a man just in from the land of the Montezumas as he handed out a wax lucifer with a head on each end. "I saw nothing but double ended matches while I was away, and I can tell you that they save one's record with the Recording Angel. If you dig down in your pocket and find one match the chances are that you are sure of a light, because if one end goes out the other is left. These old time matches, just revived, that splutter brilliant sparks may be all right when it comes to pleasing the baby, but the fellow who puts on the market a double ended match will find a ready demand." Text Somewhat Apropos. The Rev. J. B. Hammill, the eloquent-preacher of the Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn, was preaching at Sayville, L. I., from the text "Look well to your foundations." After repeating the text he leaned heavily on the pulpit desk, which gave way and plunged over the altar rail, nearly hitting the laymen in the front seat and scattering the Bible and the preacher's notes among the holders of the pews. The aged preacher barely escaped a tumble over the altar with the heavy desk. WENT TO TEA And It Wound Her Bobbin. Tea drinking frequently affects people as badly as coffee. A lady in Salisbury, Md., says that she was compelled to abandon the use of coffee a good many years ago, because it threatened to ruin her health and that she went over to tea drinking, but finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that she had lost twenty-five pounds and no food seemed to agree with her. She further says: "As this time I was induced to take up the famous food drink, Postum, and was so much pleased with the results that I have never been without it since. I commenced to improve at once, regained my twenty-five pounds of flesh and went some beyond my usual weight. "I know Postum to be good, pure, and healthful, and there never was an article, and never will be, I believe, that does so surely take the place of coffee, as Postum Food Food. The beauty of it all is that it is satisfying and wonderfully nourishing. I feel as if I could not sing its praises too loud." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." The Lingerie Model SHIRT WAIST MODEL WITH PERFECTLY ROUNDED FIGURE LINGERIE MODEL MUST HAVE ENGLISH FIGURE The newest line of work to do for the pretty girl is that of lingerie model. Underwear of all kinds is to be tried on and the girl model displays the goods to the best of her ability. "There are just three lingerie models in the world," said a girl who took up the occupation during the holidays and has been at work ever since. "London owns one and the other two are employed by two big New York department stores. But others are coming into the business. The girls are training for the work and inside of a year the lingerie model will be almost as popular as the skirt or the cloak model. "My main work is the putting on of corsets, for there is something unsatisfactory about the corset until one has seen it upon the figure, and if the figure is a living figure so much the better. For trying on corsets I have some perfectly entrancing French lingerie and the unfortunate victim who beholds it can do nothing but buy. She is bewildered by the prettiness of the outfit. "I want to say that the lingerie model must have the English figure. She must be very tall, with a military chest. She must stand with her chin out, her abdomen drawn in, her shoulders back and her arms well managed at her sides. Unless she can carry herself in this manner she need not apply. "The lingerie model's position is the most exacting of all positions. She must always look pretty and smiling, must always be in good face and form, must always be winning and anxious to try on garments and she must always feel generous. The last may sound like a queer stipulation. But when you have tried on lovely lingerie all day you will know what it is to feel envious. It isn't easy to feel good natured and generous under such circumstances if you are a poor girl. "Trying on things is a work which women enjoy more than anything else. They are naturally fitted for it, and it is something for which the shopkeeper is most grateful if well done." A POPULAR FABRIC Chiffon Voile Leads in Favor This Season for All Kinds of Utility Wear. Chiffon voile is really the most popular fabric of the season, and it would be interesting to know how many yards of it have been used. The fashionable makers recommend it for almost every kind of utility wear, and prefer it to the silks, unless one is willing to use a very sheer silken stuff, such as mousselline, which is, of course, not suitable for hard service. Our model was sketched from a gown in pale gray chiffon voile included in the wardrobe of a spring bride. The skirt is very wide and finished around bottom with three deep tucks. The blouse is jumper fashion with kimono sleeves, is worn over a guipme and sleeves of all-over embroidered white batiste. The round neck and ends of sleeves are trimmed with a band of silver embroidery. Cheap Trimming. A friend of mine hides a way of trimming children's dresses at little expense. She takes a spool of crochet silk and with a crochet hook makes a common chain stitch. Then it is sewed on with the machine. It resembles a pretty little braid. She trimmed a blue wool suit with dark red silk. OF FANCY LINEN OR SILK. 1 Bouse of striped and spotted linen or silk with plain, shallow yoke of the material. It is finished around the neck with a little frill of lace and the guipme is also of lace, with collar and tabs of guipure or embroidery. The sleeves are finished at the elbows with lace ruffles. CARE OF THE COMPLEXION It Is Not a Difficult Matter to Keep It in the Best of Condition. Advice is so often given upon the hygiene of washing the skin that there is little necessity to revert to the subject in this article, but it cannot be too often repeated that hard water is rufous to the complexion, and when the skin is supersensitive and inclined to be easily irritated the use of either rain water or water softened by artificial means is imperative. A scant teaspoon of borax in a wash bowl of water effectually softens it for purposes of ablution, and it may be further improved and rendered deliciously fragrant if a little of the following powder is tied up in a small piece of muslin and placed in the water jug a few hours before it is required: Oil of bitter almonds, ten drops; oil of bergamot, two draims; California borax in powder, one ounce; orris root, four ounces; wheat flour, four ounces; almond meal, six ounces. Mix thoroughly. Elderly women whose skin is loose and flabby will find it wonderfully improved if they will treat it in the following manner: Once a day give the skin a coating of cold cream and massage it first by rolling the skin firmly between the fingers, then by smartly slapping it; this should be continued for about ten minutes. Immediately after this dip a towel in cold water—ice water during the summer months and ordinary hydrant water at other times. Completely cover the face and throat with the wet towel and allow it to remain on until it begins to get warm, then dip in cold water and apply as before. Continue this from 15 minutes to half an hour. It is helpful to add a mild astingent to the cold water. Benzoin is best for this purpose. Mix two teaspoonfuls to a pint of water. After the cold application it is well to massage the face and neck in such a manner as to build up the underlying tissue and make a plump, fleshy padding under the skin. This is done by a light but rapid movement with the finger tips. The movement consists of picking up the flesh and allowing it to fall in place. To aid in the manipulation a moderate amount of good cold cream should be used. This treatment is most beneficial if taken just before retiring. For a flabby skin it is well to allow a little cold cream to remain on the face all night. Fresh cream, or even sour cream, is extremely good for the skin in winter. It can be used instead of cold cream, and rubbed on the face at night and washed off in the morning. Every woman has pronounced ideas on the best way to manage a hive band.

MILWAUKEE SENTOWZ SPENT DAY IN ARGUMENT Attorneys in Haywood Case Clash Over Introduction of Magazine Editorials as Evidence. CHICAGO ANARCHIST CASES AS BASIS The State Contended That Spies Case Covered the Same Questions and Defense Argued That Case Could Not Be Used As Guide in Haywood Case. Boise, June 20.—The entire morning session of the Steenunberg murder trail was consumed in hearing arguments on the admissibility as evidence of the editorial utterances of the Miners' Magazine, official organ of the Western Federation of Miners, as to Frank Steenunberg and others connected with the labor troubles of the miners. On both sides the argument was based on the Chicago anarchist cases, the defense contending that by no construction could the authority in that case be made a guide here, and the state that it covered the very propositions involved here. Judge Wood took the articles for examination and adjourning the trial at 11 o'clock promised to rule in the afternoon. Senator Borah commenced the day's proceedings by offering and specifically naming the articles in the various numbers of the Miners Magazine which he offered as evidence. To the introduction of each exhibit the defense made general objection and stated that they would present specific objections to each. The general objection was that the evidence failed to connect the defendant with the murder of Steukenberg. The naming and describing of the articles in the magazine took nearly half an hour. The articles themselves will be read to the jury later if the court admits them as evidence. E. F. Richardson presented the argument for the defense against the admission of the magazine articles as evidence. He maintained that the articles offered by the state failed to show that the defendant had, through these articles, contributed anything that might lead to the murder of Gov. Steuenberg. He admitted that some of the articles were intemperate in tone, but were nothing more than "ordinary newspaper abuse." Mr. Richardson quoted from the record of the case of "Spies vs the People," and the ruling as to the admission of newspaper articles. In the case of the Miners Magazine he said, the articles did not compare in tone with the violence of the articles in the Spies case. Richardson read at length from the evidence in the Spies case, the letters from Herr Most to Spies and other violent matter published at the time. Throughout these letters and other matter force, dynamite, murder and wholesale revolution was counseled. Mr. Richardson pointed out that these letters were printed in anarchist trials resulting in conviction and execution. Senator Borah argued for the state that the Miners Magazine should be admitted because it showed the eminity of an organization of which the defendant, Haywood, and other defendants were the officers. He pointed out that the state did not offer the article as evidence, relying on them to prove their charge of murder, but in order to help the jury in determining, among all the circumstances, what was the animus of the Western Federation of Miners of which Haywood is the secretary and treasurer and the Miners Magazine the official organ. VERDICT AGAINST TUCKER. The Receivership in the Uncle Sam Oil Company Case Will Stand. Leavenworth, Kan., June 20.—The jury in the case of the Uncle Sam Oil company, in which H. H. Tucker, Jr., sought to have the receiver appointed by the State supreme court removed, returned a verdict Wednesday finding against Tucker. The receivership therefore stands. The verdict was written out by Judge Amidon, in the United States district court, and it was agreed to by the jury upon the court's instructions. When the receiver was appointed the company had over 10,000 stockholders distributed all over the country, and supposed assets of close to $1,000,000. J. C. Morse, the receiver the last witness, testified Tuesday that the by-products of the company now on hand, which Tucker had held to be a valuable asset, are not worth nearly so much as the former manager estimated. Tucker alleged that the Standard Oil company and the railroads were in a conspiracy to wreck the Uncle Sam company. He is now serving a 90 day sentence in the county jail here for contempt because of charges made in his bankruptcy petition attacking the integrity of Federal Judges Pollock, Phillips and McPherson. Report on Launch Disaster Washington, June 20—Admiral Emory, commanding the fourth division Atlantic fleet, arrived from Hampton Roads Wednesday with the report of the naval board of investigation which has been looking into the loss of the launch of the battleship Minnesota the night of June 10.

The story bore this caption: "Taft Not To Run" Secretary Taft declined absolutely to discuss the matter and dismissed it by saying, laughingly: "You just let that question mark stand." The secretary looked to be in perfect health and said that he never felt better in his life. He spent the greater part of the day at the fort, departing late in the afternoon for Ottawa, Kansas, where he will deliver an address at the State Chantanqua assembly. Secretary Taft was met at the station here by General Hall, commandant of the post, and escorted to the latter's residence where breakfast was served.

LUCIEN BAKER DYING. Former United States Senator from Kansas Near Death's Door in Leavenworth. Leavenworth, Kan., June 20.—Ex- United States Senator Lucien Baker is dying at his home here.

The bullet went wild and struck Baker who was a block distant, in the breast producing a wound from which he suffered constantly. Mr. Baker was succeeded as senator by Joseph R. Burton, who resigned from that position after being convicted in the federal court at St. Louis. Harvest Hands Too Early. Topeka, June 20.—T. B.

Joseph Wilson, Jr., pastor at New Hope and Rev. H. I. Jones, pastor at the Tabernacle Baptist church. Past Chief Mentor W. N. Miller was master of ceremonies. Many are the compliments extended Rev.

Here is Your Opportunity to Buy a Farm of from 10 Acres to 640 and Two Town Lots in This "Garden Spot" for $210. Payable $10 per Month Without Interest. Investigation will show that this 95,000 acres comprises one of the finest bodies of Agricultural and Truck Farming land in the entire state, commencing about 36 miles south of San Antonio and about two miles south of Pleasanton (the county seat of Atascosa County), and extending through Atascosa and a part of McMullen Counties, to within 17 miles of my 60,000 acre Live Oak County Ranch, which I in four months last year, sold to 4,000 Home Seekers, on liberal terms, without interest on deferred payments, which gives the poor man, from his savings, a chance to secure a good farm and town lot for his home in town. I will donate and turn over to three bonded Trustees, $250,000 from the proceeds of the sale of this property to the purchasers, as a bonus to the first railroad built through this property on the line which I shall designate. This property is located on that middle plain between East Texas, where it rains too much, and the arid section of West Texas, where it does not rain enough. Its close proximity to San Antonio, the largest city in the State, with a claimed population of over 100,000, enhances its value as a market for Agricultural and Truck farm products far beyond the value of similar land not so favorably located. Topography. Level to slightly rolling. Large. Broad, rich valleys, encircled by elevations suitable for homes; 90 per cent. fine farming land, balance pasture land. Forestry. Ash. Elm, Gum, Hackberry, Live Oak, Mesquite, Pecan, abundant for shade, fencing and wood. Soil About 60 per cent, rich, dark, sandy loam, balance chocolate or red sandy loam, usually preferred by local farmers, and each with soil averaging from to 4 feet deep, with clay subsoil, which holds water. Climate. Mild, balmy, healthy, practically free from malaria, few frosts, no snow, no hard freezes; continuous sea breezes moderates extremes of heat and cold, producing warm winters and cool summers. Average temperature about 62 degrees. Rainfall. From the Government record, it is safe to assume that the rainfall on this property has been fully 35 inches per year, which is more than some of the old States have had, and is plentiful for ordinary crops properly cultivated, and for Grass Growing. Improvements and Water. This property is fenced and cross-fenced in many large and small pastures, with four barbed wires, with posts about 12 feet apart. Also a number of fine shallow wells. Also a number of fine Lakes and Tanks. Also, a number of fine flowing Artesian Wells, whose crystal streams flow for miles and miles down those creeks, whose broad, rich valleys, irrigable from those continuously flowing streams, make it the ideal place for the Marketing Gardener who desires to raise from two to three crops of marketable produce on the same ground every year. Farming and Truck Farming. Seasons never end. This land is adapted to profitable culture of Beans, Cabbage, Celery, Cucumbers, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Beets, Carrots, Onions, Radish, Squash, Strawberries, Cauliflower, Okra, Oyster Plant, Peas, Rasberries, Turnips, Apricots, Cantaloupes, Grapes, Irish Potatoes, Olives, Sweet Potatoes, Bananas, Dates, English Walnuts, Figs, Melons, Peanuts, Barley, Blackberries, Broom Corn, Lemons, Plums, Tobacco, Alfalfa, Rye, Oranges, Peaches, Fecans, Corn, Cotton, Oats, Wheat, Apples, Pears. Page 63 of the book entitled "Beautiful San Antonio," officially issued by the Business Men's Club of San Antonio, dated May, 1906, says: "It is readily conceded by all those who know anything about Texas that the most prolific agricultural section is that which recognizes San Antonio as its logical center, particularly that portion directly south of San Antonio, with the Gulf of Mexico bordering on the southeast and the Rio Grande bordering on the south and west. "Within the last four or five years, in the territory named, special attention has been given to growing vegetables, they maturing at a time when they secure the maximum prices on Northern markets, which markets they virtually invade without a competitor. The profit in growing vegetables in this territory will be seen by an examination of the following figures, secured from reliable sources, showing Net Earnings Per Acre: "Watermelons from $75.00 to $200.00. "Cantaloupes from $40.00 to $75.00. "Cabbage from $125.00 to $225.00. "Cauliflower from $75.00 to $225.00. "Beans and Peas from $100.00 to $15.00. "Tomatoes from $125.00 to $400.00.

There are many worms that are called army worms, and it is therefore necessary to distinguish between them. In a report issued last December the Minnesota station called attention to the injury this worm is doing to timothy meadows. It was predicted that the coming season will show still greater damage. "The most effective method of combating the army worm is ditching. If two or more furrows be turned up with a plow between the advancing army and the crop which it threatens, the steep side of the furrow being towards the crop, the worms tend to congregate therein, brought to a stop by the wall of dirt. These furrows This is one of the cut worms, and it is found in such numbers some seasons that it is known as the "army worm" in certain localities. Its life history is similar to the other cut worms. The female moth lays about 500 eggs on blades of grass, placing 15 or 20 or more on each blade of grass. These eggs hatch in from six to ten days and the minute larvae begin at once to attack the grass on which they are born. Frequently a farmer will see the effect of their work without being aware of their presence. They attack not only grasses but the cereals and corn. Occasionally they attack the foliage of the apple tree. It takes the worms about from one A A B A A B C A C A B The Army Worm, Larvae and Moth. to two months to reach their full size, and at that time they are about one and one-fourth inches long. They are characterized by four broad stripes on each side, the two upper ones being brighter than those below. When the caterpillar has obtained its full size it works its way an inch or more into the ground, where it undergoes transformation. The moths do not emerge from their pupal state till the next summer. The Minnesota station says of them: "In their marches, it is asserted, the caterpillars will sometimes destroy young fields of flax by biting portions of the plants without utilizing them for food." Bulletin 100 of the Minnesota station advises the following treatment: Insectary at the Minnes at the Minnesota Experiment A This building makes possible the study of insect life at any time of the year, thus enabling the entomologist Cultivation of Corn.—The first cultivation should be close to the hill, but as the corn grows the shovels should be set farther from the hill to avoid injuring the roots.

If two or more furrows be turned up with a plow between the advancing army and the crop which it threatens, the steep side of the furrow being towards the crop, the worms tend to congregate therein, brought to a stop by the wall of dirt. These furrows should be about two feet or more apart. "It is better yet, if time and labor are available, to dig a ditch next the crop that is in danger, since it is harder for them to extricate themselves from a ditch than from a furrow. Several furrows will, however, check them till they can be killed. Killing can be accomplished by putting dry straw on the worms in the furrow and hurriedly firing it, after wetting it slightly with kerosene. Or kerosene may be poured directly on the worms. This in itself is fatal, but very expensive. "Crushing the worms when in the ditch or furrow by dragging a small log or piece of timber through it is C C practiced by some. Fall plowing (as late as possible), as in the case of many other of our insect pests, is excellent, as it exposes many of the pupae, where birds can find them, and variations in the weather can affect them. Sometimes the deep plowing buries them so deeply that the moths cannot emerge from the soil. "Some spread dry straw on them when on their food plants and fire it, thus burning them and saving them attacking a nearby crop which would otherwise have suffered. Inasmuch as the vicinity of old straw stacks offers an ideal place for bibernation, such rubbish, which is also a haven of refuge for other pests as well, should not be allowed to stand undisturbed for any length of time." sota Experiment Station to make the most economical use of his time, and thus accomplishing the best results. roots are cut off, it is reasonable to suppose that the formation of ear will be but half as large.

Upton Sinclair, in an address before a body of Chicago Socialists, said of charity: "The average charity, the charity of the rich, seems rather futile to me. The rich oppress the poor enormously, then they help them slightly. It is like the young lady angler. "Why,' said a man to this young lady, 'do you always carry a bottle of liniment with you on your fishi..g excursions? She sighed. "I am sorry,' she said plaintively, 'for the poor little fish. And so, when I take one off the hook, I always rub its cut mouth with some liniment."

Something New in Lace Work That Is Not Hard to Work—Directions for Making It. Work 8 chain and join round, a double crochet into the ring just made, 5 chain, 2 more double crochets into the same ring, repeat from until there are 8 loops. 2nd Round: 3 chain from loop to loop all round. 3rd Round: Under the nearest loop work 1 double crochet, 1 half treble, 1 treble, 1 double treble, 1 treble, 1 half treble, 1 double crochet; repeat this group of stitches under each of the other loops. This completes one center or star. Work as many of these centers as will be required for the work in hand. 1st Long Row: Work a treble on the top of one of the points of a star, 4 chain, 1 treble on top of next point, This design, although specially arranged for a collar, is equally suitable for tie ends, or as a trimming. 4 chain, 1 treble on next, 4 chain, another treble on same stitch as last, 4 chain, 1 treble on next point, 4 chain, 1 treble on the next (or 5th) point, 5 chain, 1 treble on point of another star, work half round this star like the first, continue in this manner until all the stars are joined, work all round the last one; on reaching the 5 chain make 2 chain, and catch to the middle stitch of the 5, 2 more chain and work round the second half of the other stars in the same manner. 2nd Long Row: A treble in every stitch with 1 chain between each as far as the last treble before the join, a treble on the first treble of the next star, and continue, working all round the end and along the other side of the stars. For the Heading—Work a row of chain, joining it to the scallops with longer or shorter stitches as required to make the work level (see illustration); for the stitch which connects the scallops put the cotton 4 times over the hook, catch to the scallop, work off 2 loops, cotton twice over again, catch to the next scallop and work off all the loops in the usual way. Upon this chain work two rows of double trebles in every other stitch, with 1 chain between each. As colored lace is much in favor as a trimming this season, this design worked with cotton to match would make a very pretty up-to-date finish for colored linen dresses; it would have the advantage of washing with the dress itself, and would, moreover, be very durable. Another practical use to which this lace may be put is an edging for toilet covers. A piece of rather coarse linen hem-stitched at the edge and finished with this pattern makes an extremely nice cover. Shampoo. Take one egg and beat light; add one汁 and a half of luke warm water and then beat again until the foam reaches the top of a two quart bowl.

Do not use on blonde heads THICKER FABRICS COMING IN. Smart Novelty Material Is Known as Bengalinette. Great appreciation is being shown this spring for a novelty material known as bengalinette, a new edition of Bengaline—in other words, a silk fabric with a ribbed surface. The marquisette has been a la mode two years and continues in popularity. But courtiers are on the lookout for a material a trifle stiffer than these chiffon goods and bengalinette meets the requirements. The new fabric is in evidence in all colors, but it is particularly seductive in pale green and old pink. Green was a big factor in the '60's of the last century and the second empire modes now being revived are an example of how much in vogue all styles of the last 50 years are and will be. The empire as brought forth a year and a half ago is seen no more except for evening wear in light transparent goods, and the drapery is particularly adaptable to that class of goods. There is quite a change in the quality of goods used this spring from that in vogue for a very long time past. Now the makers and drapers are showing goods that have decided body to them. In other words, the chiffon no-character stuffs are passe. The handwringing on the wall points to less coquettish modes, for certainly stiff materials will not take all the fullness in drapery and elaboration in handwork that frocks have received the past years. HAIR TIPS. Before dressing the hair rub a little brilliantine into the roots with the tips of the finger, and brush with a baby brush. This makes the hair beautifully 'glossy and keeps it approximately tidy. Don't forget to have the hair thoroughly cut and singed every three months; it is not sufficient to have long hair clipped. Special attention should be paid to the weak new hairs that spring up all along the central parting. Don't forget to brush the hair for ten minutes with a flexible brush. This may make the head a little tender at first, but tenderness soon wears off. Don't wear pads or additional tails of hair and curls unless absolutely necessary. Anything that prevents light and air getting at the roots of the hair is extremely bad. Don't attempt to restore gray or faded hair yourself; it is best to leave it entirely alone. If dyeing is desirable have it done by skilled hands. Don't use cheap hairpins or combs; they are so liable to drag and break the hair. THE HAND MIRROR. A shabby hand-mirror may be made quite beautiful, and fit for the daintiest toilet table with a little trouble. Scrub the woodwork thoroughly in soda and hot water, rinse, and let it get quite dry. Sand paper any little Vase rough places, then paint over with cream enamel, let it dry, then give another coat, then dry again.

Prizes for Tanned Faces With the object of encouraging the pupils of the Farnham grammar school to spend their recent holiday in the open air as much as possible, the Rev. S.

On the pupils reassembling for the summer term 12 were picked out as being the most tanned, and it was announced that the judges had awarded the prize to Foster, the captain of the school. It is understood that Foster declines to divulge to the other boys the secret of his preparation, if any.—London Globe. BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE. Physician Called It Eczema' in Worst Form—Patient Despaired of Cure— Cuticura Remedies Cured Her. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of _____. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became despondent and decided to discontinue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.

Cleveland Artist Came Back with a Counter Proposition. A local newspaper artist got a letter one day from a man over in Indiana who said he was making a collection of sketches, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I have drawings from well known newspaper artists in nearly every state in the union," the Indiana man wrote, "but I have none from Ohio. I have seen some of your work and I think it is good. If you will send me some little sketch for my collection I shall have it framed." The artist noticed from the letterhead that the Indiana man was connected with a bank in one of the small towns in the state of literature. That gave him a hunch, and he wrote back as follows: "I am making a collection of ten dollar bills. I haven't secured specimens from every state in the union, but I have several tens and a few twenties, and I am particularly anxious to have a ten dollar bill from Indiana. I notice that you are employed in a place where ten dollar bills are kept, and if you send me one for my collection I shall be glad to have it framed." $100 Reward. $100.

SADIE ABBOTT Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children well dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy. Truly the work of such a woman is "never done" and is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of a few years, the back begins to ache, there is a displacement, inflammation or ulceration of the abdominal organs, a female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is pitiful. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, is the exact medicine a woman needs whose strength is overtaxed. It keeps the feminine organs in a strong and healthy condition. In preparing for childbirth and recuperating therefrom it is most efficient. It carries a woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well assists her to be a good wife and mother.

Pickham entered his bachelor apartments with a sigh of satisfaction; it had been a hard day at the office and he was particularly glad to get away by himself. He turned on the electric light, hung up his overcoat and hat, while visions of his cushioned easy chair beckoned him delightfully. There it stood, wooing him to its arms, and in it—Pickham's expression change; there, on its sacred cushion, lay a huge Maltese cat! Pickham disliked cats. "Scat!" he said, sharply, with a fierce gesture. The cat opened its sleepy eyes and stared at him, rolled over on its back, and after apparently trying to stand on its head, went to sleep again. beaming with his recognized his house able, had made his room and was against the girl "Please excuse stooping down I was so surprised hunt for him! cat merely rulled purring vigor sneaked in with the girl, "and I to him! You' saucer of milk have driven him never could li It was simple enough to call the janitor, but Pickham felt that it would be a little absurd. Surely, he ought to be able to drive a cat out of his room without calling for help! He went softly up to the chair and reaching down took a gingerly hold on two corners of the loose cushion seat, raised the corners and slid the cat to the floor. "Scat!" he said again. The cat deligned one glance at Pickham, stood up on all fours, gave a tremendous hunch to its back and such a gape that Pickham shivered, and stretched itself full length on its side on the big Turkish rug, while the end of its tail flapped lazily for a few seconds before it dropped flat. The cat was asleep. Pickham rammed his hands into his pockets and glared down at the cat. Regarded simply as a cat, the animal was not objectionable. Its fur was smooth and silky; it had a plump, well-fed, prosperous air; moreover, in its present position Pickham calculated that it was over a yard long. He would rather have taken up a baby than the cat—and he was not partial to babies. He turned the chair-cushion over, to avoid possible hairs, and sat down. The cat was doing no harm, at least; and the simplest solution of the problem seemed to be to wait for the cat to wake up, when it might be lured into the corridor. Pickham gazed down at the cat—it was a magnificent specimen—and something seemed to stir within him at the suggestion of companionship. Pickham was in his thirties, and had spent the last 15 years in building up a profitable business; it had been an absorbing occupation, and neither cats nor women had taken his attention from it. Now, as he looked at the contented cat, stretched out upon the rug, he suddenly began to feel domestic. A nice girl on the other side of the rug, with the cat between them—it really might be worth while. Pickham felt a sudden pang of loneliness. He glanced about his comfortable bachelor quarters, and they struck him for the first time as rather dreary. The furniture seemed angular and heavy; the effect was akin to an interior decorator's exhibit in a shop window. He wondered how it would seem to have a workbasket on the severe library table, or a woman's cloak that hung on a peg in the dining-room where he took his meals, just back of its owner, who sat opposite to him. He remembered that one rainy day he had come upon the owner hurrying along without an umbrella and had escorted her under his to the dining-room. He flushed a little, thinking how he had taken it all as a matter of course. Since then she had never slipped into her seat at breakfast without a little blush and a shy "good morning." Pickham suddenly reflected that he would miss that "good morning." Just here something rubbed against Pickham's trousers-leg. He glanced down. The cat had waked up at last, and was evidently trying to attract his attention. Pickham's feeling toward the cat being a good deal softened, he said: "Poor pussy!" and hopefully opened the hall door. The cat did not budge; it merely lay back its head and cried "Mew!" with a somewhat strenuous pitch. Pickham left the door open and walked slowly back to the cat, who sat down, curved its tall around its forepaws and gazed steadily and expectantly at Pickham. It had all the repose and dignity of an assured social position, and Pickham almost blushed to think that he should have said "Seat!" to such a gentlemanly animal. Nevertheless it was plain that the cat was not to be trifled with, and as Pickham gazed down at it resolutely, the cat stood up, gave Pickham a severe glance, and again cried "Mew!"—this time with sharp imperiousness; and not deigning further remarks walked over to the closet door. A light dawned upon Pickham; he opened the closet and took a jar of milk from the little refrigerator, and pouring a saucerful, set it down by the cat, who lapped it up expeditionally. When the last drop was gone, the cat purred contentedly, and as Pickham stooped to take up the saucer the cat rolled over on its back and, stretching out its head, intimated, as plainly as a cat could, that it would like to be petted. "Poor pussy!" said Pickham again, venturing, "somewhat timorously, to scratch its neck. "Why, kitty!" Pickham jumped up hastily and glanced at the still open door. A young woman was standing there, PAGE 4 beaming with satisfaction, and he recognized his vis-a-vis at the boarding-house able. The cat, meanwhile, had made his way sedately across the room and was now rubbing himself against the girl's skirt. "Please excuse n!" cried the girl, stooping down to stroke the cat, "but I was so surprised! I've had such a hunt for him! You bad cat!" The cat merely rubbed a little harder, puring vigorously. "He must have sneaked in with the janitor,' went on the girl, "and you have been so kind to him! You've given him a great saucer of milk. Some men would have driven him out at once—but I never could like a man who wasn't fond of cats!" "I—I—" stammered Pickham. "It's rather a remarkable cat, don't you think? So—er—self-possessed." The girl's eyes twinkled, yet she answered soberly: "Kitty's been a great pet; he's never been struck and he just purrs when I soid him; so I dare say it isn't easy to frighten him. I don't believe he'd mind 'Scat' a bit." "No," replied Pickham. "I—that is—" "Come, kitty!" said the girl, with a little blush, as if she felt that it was time to withdraw. "Good evening, and thank you," she said, and the door closed behind her. After a moment of indecision, Pickham opened the door and hurried down the corridor. "Pardon me," he said, overtaking the girl, "but I wanted to tell you that I haven't cared for cats until this evening. Your cat converted me. I think. I don't want to be a backslider; I'd like to be better acquainted with—with your cat." The girl regarded Pickham steadily, while the cat nosed ingratiatingly at Pickham's boots. "I thought," remarked the girl, meditatively, "that I heard some one T. C. W. "Thank You!" Said Pickham, Heartily. "I Shall Certainly Call." say 'Scat!' earlier in the evening, but perhaps it was the janitor, or I was dreaming." Pickham flushed, but he stood his ground. "I said 'Scat!' And now I'm asking the privilege of a better acquaintance. Doesn't that show what a nice girl—a nice cat—can do for a man?" The girl reflected. "If it is necessary to your hap—your preseverance in well-doing—to know Marmaduke Stanford better, you may call upon him at suite 46, upper floor. He lives there with my mother and myself—my name is Stanford," she added. "Thank you!" said Pickham, heartily. "I shall certainly call." "On the cat," amended Miss Stanford. "Certainly," agreed Pickham, cheerfully. "On the cat." Marmaduke, who had been looking somewhat bored, sidled over to the wall, pretending to have found a mousehole. "Good night," said Miss Stanford. "Come, kitty!" Marmaduke dawdled after her down the corridor, while Pickham watched until the white, waving tip of the cat's tail disappeared in the dusk. Walked back in his room, Pickham walked thoughtfully to the telephone and called up the fashionable florist. "Two dozen Catherine Mermets," he ordered. "Send them to 1148 South Ninety-first street, suite 46. Name? Oh-er-Stanford. Good-hold on! Have you got any catnip? Yes, catnip! Ca-t-n-i-p! Fresh? All right, send a—a couple of pounds with those roses—yes! a couple of pounds! That's what I said. Good-by. To think," mused Pickham, "that I almost forgot the cat!" To Observe Sea Gardens.

Round About New Y Gossip of People and Things in the Great Metropolis Round About New York OLD TRINITY CHURCH HAS ENORMOUS FORTUNE NEW YORK.—There is probably no other estate in New York about which it would be so difficult to obtain exact information as that with which the Trinity church was endowed by good Queen Anne 202 years ago. The vague statement recently put forth by its rector concerning the income of the parish stimulated an inquiry by one of the title guaranty companies as to how long it would take to make a list of the various parsels of real estate held by Trinity and what such a list would cost. This brought forth the information that it would be necessary to search the public records for three centuries past and that the cost of the investigation would be not less than $1,000. One of the principal difficulties in the way of finding out how much of the famous old "Bouwerie" of Anneke Jans is now the property of "Mrs. Trin," as the corporation was styled in a parable written in its defense longer than half a century ago, is the fact that many of the holdings are BIG BEN BRENNAN DIE! It is notable that among the 4,000,000 persons in New York there is none that is doing the sort of charity work that for years made Thomas Brennan beloved by uncounted thousands. "Big Tom," as he was known affectionately by those who were the objects of his kind solicitude and those who looked on admiringly while he gladdened the hearts of hosts of poor folks in the city, was not a wealthy man, but from his comparatively meager pile he gave most bountifully. His peculiar hobby was taking poor women and children away from the crowded quarters on holidays and out to sea or into the country. Chartering a steamer or a train, Brennan would go among the poor on the East Side and pass out tickets to scores upon scores, tickets which told them where to take the boat or the train, and how they could spend the day as his guests, with lots to eat and many games to play, music and fishing tackle for all who wanted to cast a line and bathing suits for those who wanted to swim. Time after time Mr. Brennan escorted thousands of ragged, happy youngsters out into the open spaces, many of them accompanied by their moth- WOMEN OF FOUR HUNDRED OFTEN VISIT "UNCLE" PAWNBROKERS are doing a land-office business with fashionable women this year. Bridge and poker losses' have been so common among the elite that frequent trips are made from the green table to the loan office. It hardly would seem that the little vices of the exclusive social set could have so great an effect on anything so far removed from them in character as a pawnshop. True it is, nevertheless. Most persons in New York's bonton circle have money to burn, but they don't always have it when they want to start a little fire, and it's no rare thing for them to be hard pushed to pay their losses within the time prescribed by the unwritten code. Such debts must be paid, of course, and paid promptly. So off goes Miss Four Hundred to one of the several pawnshops catering to the "carriage and automobile" trade and quickly pawns anything from heirlooms to the most modern jewelry. Diamonds that have shone in the ballroom, grand WHEN "Silent" Smith purchased the palace at Sixty-eighth street prosaically known as 871 Fifth avenue, he smiled contemptuously and dismissed with his accustomed brevity of speech the warning of his friends that it was a house of doom. It is recalled that six times have death and disaster stricken those who have lived in the house or who have been connected with it, the last of them being "Silent" Smith. Long before the house was finished the original owner, Howard G. Seward, was found hanging from a rafter in an unfinished room. William C. Whitney built a new house about the old, enclosing it as a large shell incloses a small one, but without removing the hoodoo which has clung to it ut New York ple and Things t Metropolis TRINITY'S WEALTH $39,000,000. leased for long periods to others, under whose names they appear on the tax assessor's books. Fifty years ago, when Trinity was investigated by a committee of the state senate it appeared that originally the mother of Protestant churches in New York owned 2,063 lots, of which 318 had been given away and 691 remained. The other 1,059 it was inferred, had been sold. This report is the only full one made since 1814, when the policy of keeping the financial affairs of the corporation a secret was adopted. With this report for a basis, however, and some shrewd computations of the present value of the unassessed property therein listed, Trinity's wealth in real estate has been estimated at $39,368,100. The famous brown structure which frowns unheeded upon the Mammon worshipers of Wall street is assessed at $115,000, but the site which it occupies and the cemetery surrounding form one of the choicest pieces of New York real estate, being valued at $17,000,000. CHARITY OF "BIG TOM" THAT MADE POOR HAPPY ers, who smiled happily when they saw their children romping round the big, jovial man, who had brought so much joy into their lives. More than a few times Brennan would slip a $10 bill into the hand of some woman who looked as though she needed a new dress, and never would he wait to hear the outpouring of thanks or to see the grateful tears that followed. The peculiar feature of Brennan's charity was that it had no tinge of politics in it. There is the Timothy D. Sullivan association which now takes thousands of poor people on excursions in the summer time, but those who go are those who live in the district where Sullivan or his machine wants support, and whose relatives have votes—at least one apiece. But Brennan favored no district, he sought to gain nothing but a look into happy dirty faces, and to make life's burden a little lighter for a few. As he went about the city when he was commissioner of charities and saw a family that needed an outing that family got an invitation to his next excursion, and there was no string attached to it. And when the day arrived the one jovial, fatherly touch of Brennan made all aboard akin. PAWN BROKER opera and at many fashionable weddings have been pledged many a time. A parure belonging to one of the giddiest as well as one of the richest young belles in town has been pawned a half dozen times, it is said, during the past year. A woman of the Astor crowd recently pawned an enormous emerald with a setting of diamonds and toopazes for $2,000, and it is said that a sapphire necklace that a member of the Vanderbilt family gave to a friend as a wedding present was forfeited because its owner borrowed something like $1,500 on it with which to repay bridge losses and could not raise the amount necessary to redeem it without appealing to her husband, which she was chary about doing. Then there are women who do not restrict their pledges to gems and gewaws. Many of them pawn their frocks. Of course, when a costly gown sometimes disappears the owner declares it was ruined through the carelessness of a new maid. HOODOO HOUSE OWNED BY LATE "SILENT" SMITH since that first tragic event; for scarcely had the fairyland of Italian renaissance been completed within the brownstone walls when the bride for whom Whitney had designed it was brought in to die from the effects of a hunting accident at Alken. Then one day the report reached the financial district that its leader lay ill in his magnificent home. Mr. Whitney died and gossip forgot the curse until last June, when Stanford White, who had helped to build and decorate the house, was shot by Harry K. Thaw. Business adversities and ill health have overtaken Amzi L. Barber, and they call him the "asphalt king" no longer, except in derision. Now J. H. Smith, the late owner of the house, is dead. The hoodoo has struck again. --- KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TAROR LABOR REV. FRANK WILSON, C. G. M. 943 Everett, Kansas City, Kas. MRS. EMMA GAINES, C. G. P. 1170 Filmore avenue, Topeka, Kas.

Not with sleeves, however, which are numerous in shape and design aimed as the patterns of lace which adorn them. The open bell sleeve is favorite model for dressy tailor suits, especially as designed for noon wear. The opening is used bound with embroidery, lace or brass and underneath appears the sleeve the blouse or guimpe. One of the very smartest of the sleeves has a long, tight underseat with a "loop" extension at the inside the outer sleeve being formed of row of lace ruffles. The "loop" is a feature of many of the new sleeves on Freefrocks and makes a charmingly chic effect. The fancy panamas used for dress tailor-mades are so designed that the tempt one to the unique in sleeve feets. They combine the newest orings with the last words in patterns, and, in addition, can be handled by the average tailor. They are sufficiently cool and dust-resistant to make them a reliable fabric for spring and summer, while their cost by no means extravagant. A gown black and white striped panama hibited in the Rue de la Paix week was sufficiently striking to pick out from a group of models for especial admiration. The skirt is cut plain and touches ground all around; whatever the fashion authorities of New York and London may say about the walking skirt predominance, it certainly does a go in Paris for dressy occasion. Around the bottom of the skirt question there is a fold of libe satin, with a piping of plaited fouls on either side of the satin band. TO TEMPT THE PALATE.
