elegant fancies in dress. They are
found in nearly every class Of toilet,
forming garden party models, boudoir
robes, hammock dresses, breakfast
toilets and . host of natty styles for
tennis, archery and the beach.
The fancy for low shoes is even greater
than it was a year ago. The low Dieppe
shoe of undressed black kid with patent
leather vamp. and the tan colored Rich
ilieu shoe in Swedish kid, are two lead
ing styles. The new bltck lace, net
and fancy grenadine toilets are models
of refined elegance. Flower bonnets,
French toques and picturesque round
hats Of immense size, are the models in
millinery that will rule all summer.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

The Conference at Lake Mohonk Thinks
Educatlon II the Key to Its Solution
Resolutions Adopted.
LAKE MoHONK, n. Y, June AT
the opening OF yesterdays session of the
Lake Mohonk negro conference, Presi-
dent Gates, chairman OF the ex-
ecutive committee, presented .
series Of resolutions embodying
the results reached after the
various discussions of the conference.
The resolutions urge education as the
keynote of the situation-education
normal and industr1al-uplifting the
home and family and developing true
manhood and womanhood.
Another resolution was as follows:
."ro promote habits OF thrift and productive
economy which must under.ie the acquisition
Of property and the ownership Of land Us well

tsblishment by the United States Government

the tax on steamboat passengers yielded
the State s37, GEO, the gross amount bc-
ing s4l,440. Every passenger over one
hundred miles paid ono dollar. under
thirty miles fifty cents: shorter dis
tanccs being exempt. For every dollar
received BY tho State. it was estimated
that seven wero received by the steam
boats. 1t is interesting to note that
Fulton's last boat, tho Chancellor Liv-
ings.onc, was 496 tons burden. lo5
heavier than any OF her predecessors;
one had 81 feet beam, an engine OF Is
horse power, with an average speed OF
eight miles and half an hour Addi-

anthracite coal successfully instead OF

1t was Fnlton's idea that nine miles

could be obtained. out 50 great was tho
subsequent progress, that We find tho
trip to Albany, which in 1922 took twcn-
ty hours, was made in 1926 by the North
America in ten hours and twenty min
utes. In 1882 this was reduced TO nine
hours and eighteen minutes; there be-
ing twelve stoppages on each passage.
In 1910 the Albany had record Of eight
hours and twenty-seven minutes, broken
by tho South America in tho following
year, with seven hours and twenty
eight minutes. This seems to have been
difficult to surpass, tho highest time
made in lS49 by the Aida being 7-45.
and 7-43 in 1851 by the Nyw World. In
1852 the Francis Skcday came to the
front with 7-24, the Reindecr's timc in

tackled by tho robbers. Only one mail
agent was in the car and he immediate
ly obeyed orders by turning over the
mail matter. A number Of registered

they were unable to secure anything
and then abandoned the train. The
passengers were nottouched. One put
his head out of the window during the
