cans Are Daily Gaining Strength

Special Dispatch TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 1.-THE
Tracy campaign was opened with a venge-
ance in Brooklyn tonight. The Re-
publican ward organizations assembled at
the Academy OF Music, and after parad-
ing the entire city in highly Illuminated
trolley cars which had been decorated for
the occasion, made a complete circuit OF
all the trolley lines.
General Tracy was the principal
speaker at the Academy, and he took &C.
caslon to lay down his platform IN full.
speaking much on the lines which he fol-
lowed Saturday night. Brookly nj ties were
enthusiastic, and frequently cheered the
speaker 1t now looks as if Tracy would
be able to discount the strength of Low,
their former Mayor, although it was first
thought that Low would receive almost
the unanimous vote of the borough.
Justice William ]. Gaynor denied posi-
lively to-day that the opportunity OF
taking Justice Van Wyck's place on the
Tam many ticket had been offered to him.
1t had been stated that Richard Croker
and Nathan Strauss went to Great Barring
ton, Mass, TO see Justice Gaynor to make
the offer. Justice Gaynor was not at
Great Darlington yesterday, but in
Brooklyn.
Objections among the Democrats con-
tinue. Mony prominent Tammany men
have either given interviews or signed
letters to the press to-day, saying that
they were done with the wfgwam. There
are also numerous Withdrawals from the
ranks of the Citizens Union.
Senator Plat, Chairman Quigg Of the
Republican party committee and Edward
Lauterbach had a conference this morn
ing 10 discuss the work of the campaign.
Reports received at Republican head
quarters from all over the city indicate
that the ticket is gaining strength every
day.
1t was announced to-day that a number
OF prominent sound money Democrats W no
voted for Mckinley last fall would in
few days announce that they were going
10 work and vote for General Tracy for
Mayor.
Two Democratic Governors in the United
States have sent favorable replies to John
c. Sheehsn's appeal to leading Democrats
outside of New York TO give their moral
support TO Candi ate Van Wyck. Josep oh
F. Johnson, Governor of Alabama, and
Governor Stone of Missouri sent letters TO
Mr.. Sheehan in which they justify the
action of Tammany in ignoring the Chi
cago platform.

R0BBERisS NEAR TOMBSTONE.
Crimes OF Outlaws Whose Leader I.
Believed to Be Miguel
C0nfnarns.

TOM BSTONE, ARR. Oct. IL. "A small
oand OF Mexican highwaymen. supposed
TO be under the leadership of Miguel Con-
treras, the ruffian who fiendishly attacked
the wife and children of Arthur WATSON
at Hereford few weeks ago, has been
terrifying timid travellers in this vicinity
Tor the past few weeks. Several posses
from different points arc now searching
Tor the band and the line riders on the
International boundary are on the lookout
10 prevent any OF its members escapin &
into Mexico before the authorities have a
lair chance OF capturing them.
The first OF the series of recent hold-u ps
by this band that was reported at the
oherlf1s office here occurred near San
Simon, the victim being an employe OF
the Southern Pacific. He was robbed OF
his watch and considerable money.
At STEMS Pass Morris CorDett was held
10 on the following day at noon. A small
Mexican. smooth-Iaced and riding fine
sorrel horse, is his description OF the
leader CT the gang that made him disgorge
what little wealth he haG with him-som, =
thing less than $50. This description
tallles with that oil the San Simon robber
and also with the fiepd who attacked Mrs.
WATSON and family. james Roach was
another victim of the same gang, being
wayiald and robbed even of his clothing
near the same place and only an hour
later than the Corbett robbery.
News comes from San Simon that the
Mexican riding the sorrei horse has been
.een near there within the past few days.
Ii he Is caught and proves to ne the Gull
pri. who nearly murdered Mrs. WATSON, it
is not likely that the Supreme Court, or
any other judiciary, will have chance to
prolong his agony or his nisdeeds.

nally. in Vandykes, and in fact In every
way that the mind Of woman can COM
ceive, and really. It Is wonderful how
much it adds to the effect Of plain ma
terial
Tucks, too. are much liked, and Will be
seen both on street and evening gownet
For the heavier goods the tucks are
rather large. and sometime the upper
tucks of a skirt so treated will be dag
onal, higher on the left side than ON the
other. This gives the effect Of q drapery
and has the advantage Of being new.
Sleeves are treated in the same manner,
but straight. When this treatment =
adopted for the light evening fabrics the
tucks are innumerable and very flne.
standing out like cords.
There is practically no end to the w.
riety OF dress materials this season.
Plain cloths, diagonals, plaids and
checks. all seem to find equal favor. The
one thing necessary in order to be In
the fashion. as far as skirts are concern-
ed, is to have them tucked, fiounced or
braided, the material chosen being len
important.
Prominent among the features for this
coming season Is the box pleat, which
has returned to popular favor, and since
fashion never does things half way. ws
are to have box pleats galore, on both
bodices and skirts. The present fancy
Is to have the pleat down the front Of
skirt and bodice alike, 1t being widened
at the neck and feet and diminishing at
the waist. Small buttons are largely
used as additional trimmings this fall.
and are sometimes employed to fasten
the box pleat all the way down, from top
to bottom. Occasionally, also, they are
put on in groups at the waist or bust.
In color combinations, which will be
unusually striking this year, red and
black take first place. The best liked
arrangement of this sort Is red wooden
goods trimmed with black astrachan.
which, I might mention incidentally.
bids fair to be the fur par excellence
this winter. Heliotrope cloth trimmed
with black or gray fur will also be seen,
though less conspicuously. Green and
blue is combination that is now rath-
er out Of date, and Is only to be seen oc-
casionally in a plaid or 30. Hunters
green is also little past its prime, but
will be worn to some extent.
In plain color, gray seems to be
prime favorite, especially gray cloth
trimmed with soft fur Of the same shade
or decorated with black braid. Gray
toilettes are quite feecy with feathers.
between the hat piled with plumes and
the boa at the neck. The special feature
in boas this season is to have them short
and thick, instead Of long as heretofore.
ard to have them dyed to match the cos
tune instead Of in black. Since the
colors for street costumes incline to
grays and tans, boas in these shades will
be much in evidence.
A new and excellent idea for the fall
capes is to have them arranged with side
openings for the arms. This makes II
possible to button the front closely, and
we can all see what an improvement the
novel fashion Is on the old one.

New and Valuable Fad in
Photographs
MUST TRY A eAINsBoRouGH
IF you WOULD LOOK YOUR PRET-
TIEsT FOR THE POSE
Must Bend All Your Energies Toward
tho Artistic When Dressing for
the Camera

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-(Special Cor
respondencs to The Herald. } Young
ladies. would you be both artistic and
fashionable? Then have your pictures
taken in large hats. This is the latest.
positively the very latest, and 1t is fetch
ing as 1t can be. 1t Is sure to be a popular
idea, for what young woman would not
favor any legitimate plan that makes
her look pretty?
The hat should be Of the Gainsborough
order or something akin thereto, and
this years styles gives one 80 much lati-
tude that 1t is entirely possible to COM
ply with the latest demand of the smart
set and still look as IL one were dressed
for some ordinary event, instead of so
momentous occasion as facing the cam
era. It used to be the way that almost
any one who could master the technical
knowledge necessary to utilize the sun s
rays in picturing human being was
fully equipped as photographer. No
one expected to look we'll, particularly,
when their picture was taken, it being
considered amply efficient if the resem-
blance to ones features was fairly ex-
cellent.
But nowadaysit it IS altogether different.
