Fashions In Fiji.

Fijian women have most affection
ate disposition, although, like all semi
civilized people, they are extremely SEN
sitive and ready to take offense at the
veriest tride. Their skins are usually Of
bright dark brown, smooth and glossy
as polished marble, and many, while
young, possess handsome features and
most symmetrical forms, but unfortu-
nately their natural grace speedily dis
appears after marriage.
While unmarried their hair, pictur-
esquely adorned with hibiscus and other
flowers, is permitted to fall I'D thin
plaits down the back of the neck. This
is regarded as sign Of maidenhood-
After marriage the plaits are cut of
and not allowed to be worn again.
In Suva and Levuka the women gen.
orally wear blouse shaped pinafore Of
thin white cotton, but in their homes or
In the interior districts they are content
with the sulu, kind of loin cloth,
made from the bark Of the native null
berry tree and wrapped two or three
times around the body.
When taking part in the mckenzie,
Or native dance, the girls wear short,
thick petticoat of dried grass, adorned
with black and yellow tappa steamers,
the bodies remaining bare from the
waist upward.
Shoes and stockings are discarded by
Fijians of all classes except on special
occasions. st. Paul's.

VICTIMS OF THE WRECK.
First Death Resulting From the
Coney Island Excursion
Train Disaster.
Seven or Eight Of the Injured VIII
Suffer the Loss of Limbs
by Amputation.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 3.-One man
died early to-day and thirtyfour men and
women are in the Brooklyn hospitals suf-
fering from injuries caused by the run
away locomotive crashing into the Coney-
Island-bound excursion train on the New
York and Sea Beach Railway at Wood
lawn station yesterday afternoon. Of this
number thirty-one are in the Norwegian
Deaconess Home Hospital. Some of the
wounded will have to lose limbs and be
otherwise manned for life.
One of the patients in the Seney Hos
pitaI, William II. Pointer of Newark, died
at o'clock this morning. He was taken
from the wreck suffering compound frac-
ture of both legs.
Concerning seven or eight patients
whose limbs it may be necessary to ampu-
tate, and whose deaths may result, DR..
Delatour declined to give names, as posi-
bly, amputations may not be necessary.
He does not care to needlessly alarm their
relatives.
Engineer Jensen and Fireman Ross, who
jumped from the engine before it came
INTO collision with the up train, as well as
Engineer David Hummel and Conductor
Joseph Hilyer of that train. were arraigned
before Judge Rhodes in the New Utrecht
Police Court to-day. Superintendent
Richard Larke of the Sea Beach road said
that no one was to blame for the catas-
trophe. When Engineer Jensen saw the
incoming train of empty cars it was too
late to avoid collision. He reversed the
lever and told the fireman to Jump. The
collision broke the engineers cab, and part
of the wreckage fell on the throttle lever,
breaking this and throwing the throttle
wide open. There was then nothing to
prevent the engine from shooting forward.
Now that one of the victims has died
there will be an official inquiry.

PARIS, TEX, Sept. 3.-During the prog
ress of a service at a camp-meeting three
miles from this city las night lad by the
name of Collier was bitten by rattle
snake.
When the snake first made it's appear
ance in the congregation CONSERVATION
reigned supreme. Collier was lying upon
the ground near the pulpit in state of re-
igious fervor.
Those near him cried out words of warn.
ing, to which he replied, s'Let her co."
uncons cious of his danger.
The snake coiled and with hiss struck
the almost fatal blow, fastening it's fangs
deep in Golfers hand. Collier, in extri-
eating the reptile, threw it in the mid
die of the assemblage and a panic ensued.
Kind friends placed him in a wagon and
started upon race for medical aid. VIII en-
he reached here he was almost dead and
until this morning no hopes were enter
tanned for his recovery.

Coppinger States They Woatd Not Say
" Bo0v to q Goose.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 3.-Gen-
eral Coppinger, commander of the De-
partment of the Platte, his aid, Lieuten-
ant Hutchinson, and Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs Browning had conference
this morning with Secretary Lamont and
Major Davis in connection with the Ban
mock Indian troubles. General Coppinger,
who commanded the recent expedition
against the Bannocks in Jacksons Hole,
said:
II do not consider the Indians were
to blame for the Jacksons Hole affair.
They are entirely quiet now, and have
been. In fact they would not say Boo to
goose"
The general favors the annexing of the
Jacksons Hole country to the Yellowstone
National Park, as this action would solve
the problem of preventing game being
slaughtered by either whites or Indians.
General Coppinger's report has not yet
been made public, and he declines to say
whether he has recommended the continu-
ance OF troops in Jacksons Hole or pun
lshment of those who participated in the
killing of the Indians, which brought
about the troubles in that section.

Leniency ShosCn the MeSicans by the
Colorado authorities.
COLORADO SPRINGS, CoLo., Sept. g.
In Division of the District Court this af-
ternoon the cases of cruelty to animals
against Joseph Marrerro, Carlos Garcia
and Antonio Sentrea, the Mexican bull
fighters, were called and Senior Barela, the
Mexican Consul at Trinidad, Colo, was
present and was sworn as interpreter. The
Senior made an eloquent appeal on behalf
of the prisoners and the Prosecuting At
torney also asked for leniency. Marrerro
pleaded guilty on four counts and the
other two prisoners on seven counts. They
were fined $15 and costs ON each count and
to stand committed until paid. Up TO the
present the fines have not been paid.
Senior Barela expressed the opinion that
sufficient money will be raised to have the
men released from custody.
The plea of guilty by the Mexicans to
violating the State laws sets at rest any
question of an international issue between
Mexico and the United States growing out
of the arrest of the bull-fighters.

Three to One Against
DunraVen'S Boat.
vALKYRIE's OWNER CONFIDENT
Smiling Blandly, He Says the Odds
VIII Be Good Thing for
Somebody.

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, Sept. 3.-The
Defender left her moorings at O'Clock
this morning and took spin eastward as
far as Captains Island to test her new Will
son and Ailsbee sails, which were stretched
yesterday The wind was blowing a ten
knot breeze early in the day, but fell al
most to dead calm at 2 O'Clock and as a
result fair trial of the new sails was not
had. The yacht reached here at o'clock
tonight and is now anchored off Premium
Point.
The Defender will in all probability not
60 in the drydock again before the first cup
race, but will leave here on Friday morn
ing for Erie Basin, where she will be
officially measured preparatory to the race.
She will be out again tomorrow, and it is
hoped by Mr.. Iselin and Captain Half that
they will be favored with a good stiff
breeze. 1t can be put down as certain that
the syndicate has something up it's sleeve
as regards the Defenders sailing qualities
that will cause a surprise when the races
are sailed.
The Valkyrie III completed her tuning
up to-day and was drydocked this after
noon to have her hull put in shape for the
Americas cup races. She is in fine condi-
ton and Lord Dunraven is perfectly salts
fed with her, barring her color. He sent
her across the Atlantic and under his
orders the black coating which she was
given before his arrival is being removed
tonight and she will be painted white to-
morrow for the races.
Her last sail outside of Sandy Rook this
g. IL 4 4
winds and the way she turned her back
on wholesale breeze this afternoon and
took a tow to Erie Basin showed that Lord
Dunraven and his advisers are satisfied
with her sails and spars and desire to give
what time remains to her decks and under
body.
Lord Dunraven was surprised with the
cable report that betting in London was 3
to on Defender, and asked how the bet
ting was here. He was told that odds
varied greatly and that even money was
the proper thing, many believing that it
was largely matter of betting on wind,
with the Defender prepared for blow and
the Valkyrie for light winds. Mr.. Glennie
said he did not take any stock in the cable
dispatch. Lord Dunraven when asked
what he thought of it, replied:
"Well, with to on the other side and
even money here 1 should say it was
pretty good thing for somebody"

DLsTRIBUTION OF DRUGS.
FhOlesaLe Hare a Plan to Keep Up the
Prices.


Prices.
DENVER, CoLo., Sept. 3.-The new plan
of distributing proprietary medicines was
revealed to-day at the afternoon session of
the wholesale druggists. The plan pro-
vides for a committee of fifteen. to be
known as the proprietary goods commit
tee, to be selected from the thirteen sec
tons of the United States by the manu-
facturers, the chairman to be elected by
the Wholesale Druggists Association, and
one to be selected by all the proprietors.
This committee is to select list of parties
to serve as wholesale distributors of patent
medicines. to appoint a general sales
agent, to act as board of arbitration and
to designate a bank as depository for all
commissions. The makers of patent medi-
cines must name long price, with freight
prepaid, and retail prices are to be main
tanned the same at all times. The general
sales agent will pay all commissions quar-
terly to sub-agents, and Is empowered to
revoke agencies upon suspicion. The COM
mittee is to hear all appeals and attend to
the reinstating of sub-agents thus deprived
of the privileges of selling the goods under
the control of the general agent Sub
agents are to pay the expenses of operat-
ing the system. Discussion on this plan
was made special order for Thursday.

consecutive hours.
Two resolutions were offered providing
for pension fund. One stipulated that a
pension bill on the assessment plan be
adopted. and the other requested that a

but no action was taken on the matter.
The committee appointed to secure the
erection of monument in honor of the
late Hon, S. S. Cox. the letter-carriers
friend, reported that the monument now
stands in Riverside Park, n. Y. The sum
of $l0,9l9 had been collected for its erec-

Testing the Io,ca's .Arn,or.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 3.-To-
morrow at the naval ordnance proving
grounds at Indian Head, Md, ballistic
plate representing the side armor of the
new battle-ship Iowa will be subjected to
a trial of it's durability in such manner
as to show how 1t would fare if actually in
position on the vessel. To this end a
structure representing a section of the side
of the Iowa has been constructed, and to
this the plate has been attached. The
Naval Ordnance Bureau hopes to gain
knowledge by the experiment as to whether
or not additional resistance is given to a
plate through it's attachment to the flexible
structure, representing as it does the
flexibility of a ships side. With one ex-
ception, in England, there is no record of a
similar test by any country. The test will
probably last two days.

DELIBERATELY MURDERED.
Matt O'Brien Killed by q Man Who Had
Just Been Introduced.

~
Just Been Introduced.
LEADVILLE, Colo, Sept. 3.--Matt
O'Brien was deliberately murdered by
Richard Stables this morning. Stables was
walking along street in the upper part of
the city and met an old friend named Nc
Avoy. The latter was accompanied by
Matt O Brien, whom he introduced to Sa-
bles. After few minutes talk Stables
said to McAvoy: 81 guess III kill you"
The matter was laughed off, when sud-
denly Sables said, II won't kill you, Mack,
but FL shoot your friend"
Before McAvoy knew what was going to
happen, Stables placed a revolver against
O'Brien's breast and fired. O'Brien lived
only few minutes. He leaves a widow
and eight children. After tie shooting
Sables started toward the jail, saying he
would give himself up, but he lodged into
an alley and escaped. A party of o 'Brien's
friends are looking for Stables, and if they
get him before the officers do he will un-
doubtedly be strung up to the nearest
telegraph pole.

The sense of physical strength sends q thrill
of pleasure through the veins of every human
being possessed of that rare gift. Strength in
manhood or womanhood means health, vigor,
yet thousands are aware of deplorable lack
of this feeling. Every man or woman who
lacks vigor can regain it through the use of DR..
Sanden's Electric Belt.
A work of art and science, devoted TO the
strength and development of pure manly and
womaniy vigor, called "Three Glasses of Men,"
will be mailed, closely sealed, free to every
man or woman who would study this subject
for their own advancement. In this work are
embodied the plain, candid truths relating to
the development and recovery of mental,
physical and sexual forces in young, middle
aged and old men.
"Who lacks in one function while vigorous
in all others is not as nature made him and
must be renewed"
Weakness in the vital organs is unnatural in
all men. 1t is due to improper care of the
functions endowed by nature with perfect
vigor and since nature gives this strength, if
1t has been wasted, she must be called upon to
renew it. Natural remedies must be used.
Nothing bears closer relation to the elements
of sexual and nerve force than electricity. 1t
is natural. 1t is nature embodied in porta-
BILE, convenient and effective appliance when
DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt is used. If you lack
in any respect the manly powers you should
possess send or call at once for this scientific
book, which will spread before you the only
true and permanent restoration of mental,
physical and sexual manhood. 1t has thou
sands of testimonials, from every town and
hamlet in the country. Address
