side in the Northern District, the
plaintiff may sue In either division
or district where any defendant re-

The bill was opposed in a mild
way BY Senator Plat, Of Connect
cut, who said he had received q
letter from tho district attorney
saying there was no necessity for
holding tsrms Of the court at Mcri-
dian. Senator George replied that
it was desired by the bar and the
people, and in bis own opinion
was essential to their convenience.
The courts Of Scott and Smith
having been stricken out Of the
bill by the Senate, this and other
amendments viii take it back to
the House for concurrence.

WILL PLAY SECOND FIDDLE.
The Republicans not Invited to
the Table Until the Demo-
Gratis Have Taken Soup.

Washington, July S.-The first
effort tc reconcile the differences
between the Senate and House will
be made tomorrow. The Demo-
cratic conferees will meet at noon
in the.Senate conference room. The
Republican conterees haven not been
asked to be present. 1t is rot as a
committee, therefore, that the
meeting,will,be held, andltisunder-
stood to be the purpose of holding
no meeting Of the fall committee
until the four Democratic Senator'S
and four Democratic Representa-
tives have reconciled all their diff
erences.
The Democratic members Of the
committee say they can expedite
their work better among themselves
than they could if constantly ex-
posed to the harassment Of the mi
nority conferees. With this pro
gramme in view there may be DC
meeting of the committee as a
whole for a week or ten days. II
the meantime the Democrats will
proceed with the work, and when
agreements have been reached II
whole or part the Republicans will
be called in and the committee. az
whole, will act on what the Dem,
ocratic members have previously
agreed. This is similar to the plar
followed by the ways and means
Democrats in originally framing
the bib, and by the Democratic
members of the finance committee
when it was before that body.

The net cash balance in the treas

was $121, SOB, 232, ofwhich S64, 241,

an increase in the gold reserve
since June 25th Of nearly 50. $50, 900
The Treasury officials are great

Possibilities of Ten Cents

Consider, il you please, the practi-
cal difference between 10 cents and
cents, as Mr.. Nathan Straus DEM
onstrates 1t daily at his sterilized
milk booths, where you can buy a
glass of cool milk for cent. A man
for cents can buy the equivalent of
a hygienic summers breakfast and
still have 8 cents left. At the old
price Of cents glass he would have
nothing left. Now he can ride all
over town on the elevated for half Of
it, and when he gets tired of chang
ing off at the stations where the up
and down trains meet, can refresh
himself with three glasses more of
milk, or else he can buy a glass of
milk for eight other people who need
1t, or he can buy five buns for cents
and have five glasses of milk, or he
can have two macaroons for a cent,
drink four glasses OF milk, and can
top it of with penny glass of ice
cream.
The possibilities of 10 cents in this
town, as the penny milk and coffee
booths have shown them, are simply
amazing, and everybody who wants
to do kind and helping thing will
make himself familiar with the adj
dresses of both kinds. New York

first illustration. It's blue wooden
crepe is of the cornAower blue that is
now so much favored, striped finely
with yellow. Yellow ribbon, black
tulle and cream lace are used for
trimmings. Around the hem the
gored skirt is finished with puff of
the goods, put on with small head on
either side. The bodice is draped in
front. but plain in back, where it
fastens with hooks and eyes. An
initiated jacket OF coarse black net
edged with cream lace ornaments its
front. Yellow ribbon gives belt and
collar, the former having bows In the
center OF front and back. The sleeves
have fitted lining, over which full
breadth of the goods is draped and
tackled here and there to keep the
folds in place.
This sleeve is rather novel one, a
fact which is enough nowadays to
make complete success Of gown for
the most exacting use possible. Re-
cent sleeve models have, for the most
part, had the sleeve puff not, in
deed, the whole sleeve-end at the
elbow. This shortening of the puff g
extension below has been met by a like
movement at the top, and in some OF
the handsomest costumes the puff does
not begin till tightly fitted shoulder
Is exposed. Beginning high in the air
about woman's ears the puff has very
slowly but surely slippe1 downward.
Now that the elbow seems settled on

mitted, the end of the sleeve puff can

crepe, summer prints, blue denim, tur-
key red or 6annelettes. The skirt Is
made to stand out fashionably, for the
most effective use OF cheap stuffs Is
that which copies all such usages of
the costly fabrics, and is fastened to q
wide band. The belt should be wide,
and the bodice very simple, with seams
only under the. arms, back and front
being full over a tight lining. A
high folded collar and sleeves of any
one of the many correct shapes com
plete the dress, which is quite good
enough fo- the morning meal and still
serviceable for after-breakfast duties.
The same style can be carried out in
pretty striped tlannelettes, though
they do not look as crisp as do cotton
goods. Unbleached cotton makes up
with blue denim charmingly for a prac-
ticable house dress. The skirt should
be of denim. with wide band OF the
edge of the ski.t. the bodice OF the
blouse order with the yoke, under
sleeves, and a folded belt of cotton.
Nothing could be prettier, easier to
wash, or more practicable. Turkey
red makes up prettily with unbleached
cotton. The cheaper duck materials
are especially suited to house skirts,
and when they are made after the
fashion suggested, can be worn with
stiff collar-and-cuff shirt waists, and
the little matron looks as fresh as q
peach and as clean as can be. All such
dresses are likely to be OF some use
when summer comes, and many OF
them really make valuable addition to
the summer WARDROBE.

old Age and Hard Work.

Old people make a great mistake
when they give up work. Many men,
who have made competency in bust
ness and feel entitled to retire from
active work, find themselves declining
In health and becoming prematurely
old for want of occupation. In most
aged persons the vital functions con-
tinue in active exercise under normal
conditions, but IL the regularity and
moderation of business life are de-
parted from trouble will surely follow.
On the other hand, the Lancet held
that ~if in any direction 1t is allow
able for competitors in the race of
life to dispense with self-control it
would appear that they may, to a
great extent, use this liberty with
respect to physical and mental ex-
ertion." In other words, we must
not eat too much, but we can study
hard and take plenty OF exercise not
only without harm, but with the best
results, and IL the old people wish to
live out all the days they should 6nd
plenty to do for both mind and body.

CHARLES ELLIsToN, Of Warsaw,
KY, has found it a very serious mat
ter to have his leg pulled. Elliston
Is in Jail at Warsaw at present, but
that is not his fault. He tried hard
enough to get out. He knocked
down Jailer Castle and then succeed
ed In getting into the jailyard, and
in fact reached the top Of the wall
that surrounds it. Then Mrs. Castle
appeared and caught him by the leg.
She pulled and he kicked, but neither
could gain much advantage. The leg
held together and Elliston held to
the wall. Mrs. Castle would not let
go and Elliston was afraid to- This
was the condition Of affairs when
Mr.. Castle recovered sufficiently to
take hand in the sport. Mrs. Castle
gave him hold on the leg and both
pulled together This was too much
for Elliston, and he came back into
the jailyard with suddenness that
must have shocked him. Then he
was locked up again, more than ever
convinced that 1t is annoying TO any
man to have his leg pulled.

A CHICAGO man, whose interest in
the subject was aroused by the fact
that his firm had been swindled out
of several thousands of dollars by
forged bills OF lading, has originated
a bill that he believes will protect
shippers. A bill of lading with the
name of a well-known firm attached
to it is as negotiable as check, and
shippers have been swindled out of
thousands and thousands Of dollars
by sharpers expert with the pen.
Only recently Kansas City firm was
neatly victimized out of $1,000 in
this manner A bill Of lading should
have every safeguard thrown around
it that check or draft has. If the
Chicago mans invention Is all that
is claimed for it, the railroads should
adopt it at once.

A New YORK photographer has
begun suit against Chicago publ
cation for damages growing out Of
alleged infringement OF copyright.
The law under which the action Is
brought prescribes damages of 81 for
each copy Of the publication contain
ing the "pirated" article, and as the
publication attacked circulates some
10000 copies, the hapless publisher
sees ruin staring him in the face. 1t
is entirely obvious that this law Is a
faulty one, throwing open the way to
gross injustice. 1t has more than
once been employed for purposes Of
extortion. Innocent and unknown
violations of it frequently occur, and
indeed cannot be avoided in the pub
lication of newspapers. There should
be organized effort made by the press
of the country to persuade the next
Congress to repeal or radically amend
this Federal statute.

purpose comes device made OF a soft
band OF silk, to match the gown, of
course, which is adjusted to the size Of
the arm by drawing through buckle
and then ties in a great soft bow. The

BENJAMIN RICHARDSON, an eccen

BENJAMIN RICHARDSON, an eccen-
trio New York millionaire, whose
estate is now being settled in the
courts, evidently anticipated the
claim Of dover right on the part of
the woman who has posed in the pro-
ceedings as his common-law wife.
Mr.. Richardson lived for many years
in small, old-fashioned frame cot
tage, and his household consisted of
a middle-aged woman and young
colored girl. When visitor entered
the hallway of the Richardson cot
tage, the first thing that attracted
his attention was a large board sign,
hung near the entrance to the parlor,
upon which was painted, in huge
black letters, the following informa-
ton: "The woman you see here is
not my wife. She is my housekeeper.
i am a widower and unmarried. Ben
jamin Richardson.

pins when the collar begins to turn for
the round. 1t will need about four
rows of pins at intervals to adjust the
pleats to the curve OF the collar. Sew
where the pins are, remove the pins,
face down the extra width top and
bottom and turn over the ends. If it Is
desired to have it finished just right,
the wrong side will have facing, but
the collar will set just as we'll without.
Now that the style of plain skirt and
handsomely trimmed bodice prevails,
a handsome bodice that can be worn
with any kind of skirt Is especially
desir able. Such a one is represented
in the fourth picture. In it violet col
ored silk is combined with white satin.
1t is tight fitting it's lining fastens
in the center and it has seamless
back made of bias material. IN front
there is pleated vest OF white China
silk that is finished on either side with
lace cascades. The revers and square
sailor collar are cut In one from white
satin and are yelled with white tulle
lace. The wide belt is made OF a cor
responding shade of velvet and is
drawn through big, snowy buckle in
front.
Never before did buckles play so i'm
portant part in the genei al scheme
of dress. The use of a buckle on the
bodice just described is a common one,
the only newness about it being the
size and cost of the baubles now ia
vored. But in other ways the buckles
scope OF usefulness is much enlarged.
Shoes and gloves fasten with them.
hats and bonnets are almost incom-
plete without them, and Tor the dress
it is decreed that it shall he admissi-
BILE to ba a buckle wherever there
is bow, knot of ribbon or lace, or
wherever drapery is Dassed for fall
in folds. Thus there are almost as
many places as the dressmaker pleases
where a buckle can be Incorporated
into the gown itself. One of the dain-
tiest uses of them is in holding in place
the puffs that are sometimes inclined
