Diamonds dangling from woman's
finger nails was the novelty that made
young men smirk and girls giggle on
n Chicago cable car.
She was CARRIED in the extreme of
fashion. Jewels flashed from the col
lar of her waist; precious stones shone
from each ear. Costly gems covered
her dainty, ungloved hands. There
was nothing particularly extraordina-
ry about all that, but there was about
her finger tips.
The strangest thing about it was
that the woman was an American. Ii
she had been an Indian or an Egyptian
princess. the innovation would have
been taken as matter of course. But
She wasn't-she was an out-and-out
American. and pretty one at that.
Passengers in the same section of the
car with her craned their necks and
peeked from under newspapers to fer
ret out the mystery. Once a fly lit
upon the woman's face. She raised
her hand to brush it away And then
the puzzle was solved
AT the tips of her fingers tiny apert-
ures, as big as pin head. had been
bored in her glossy nails. Snugly
clasped on these were little chains an
inch long. and on the end of the dang
ling links were diamond studs, a carat
largo

Tan Now Use Pneumatic Corset Co
Help Them Stay ON Top
Beginners in swimming have great
difficulty in rapid Improvement on
account of the utter lack of self-confi-
dence and fear of drowning. The
movements are comparatively easy to
learn, but the courage to strike out
into deep water is necessary in order
to be successful. Hitherto the only
thing which has given confidence was
the great ugly cork life preseryer,
which kept ones head high and dry,
perhaps, but which prevented the
proper use of the arms. and was, be-
sides. decidedly uncomfortable. The
rubber rings which can be tied
about the body are much pleasanter
than the cork affairs, but they are OBJ
jected to because they are in the way
of the free movements of the arms.
new arrangement which is just
put upon the market, and which lacks
all the disadvantages of the old meth
DDS of enforcing courage and still has
all the advantages desired, is the
pneumatic corset. This is not Il bun
glesOme affair but fits quite closely to
the body under the bathing suit like
any ordinary corset. and is a support
10 the nsure. especially If cOrpulent,
adding but little to the size OF the
wearer.
This is far ahead of any old-style ar
rangement and one is not reduced to
the necessity of taking n few dry land
lessons In swimming while suspended
across a hammock All the exercises
may be practiced in the water. Fa-
miliarity with the feeling of the water
about the neck and head with the
sense of security given by the corset,
will soon take away all fear. and then
one may discard It, 1t has always
seemed too much to expect of any one
TO leave fear behind before the art of
swimming was truly mastered This
new assistance to learning to swim is
a most pleasant one.

A PINK SHIRT WAIST


There's luster in her optics
And heaven in her smile.
There's poetry in her carriage.
There's decorum in her style.
Oh, her voice is low and pleasing,
And her mOdesty and grace
Lend sweetness to the maiden
In the Pink
Shirt
Waist.
With her sunny tresses falling
Like cataract of gold
Ger divinely nodded shoulders,
Snowy white, but never cold
Oh, the heart with rapture's bobbing
While l view the blue eyes chaste
OF the maiden who's attired
In the Pink
Shirt
Waist.
She abhors the baggy boomers
So suggestive of the Turk;
She affects no stunning costumes
Calls them all the DEVILS work;
She is pleased and we'll contented
To be modest, pure, and chaste,
And adorE her perfect figure
With Il Pink
Shirt
Waist.
She's familiar with the flowers,
Knows their origin and name;
She has read the classic authors
Who've achieved immortal fame,
You may bet she is Il corker,
For she rode Il mile unpaced
In fifty-seven seconds
And Pink
Shirt
Waist.

next Maryland Legislature the question
what prominent Republican will succeed
to the mantle so long worn by Senator
German. Several names are mentioned;
but Postmaster General Gary and Con-

The effort to establish a beet sugar
plant at Richmond is making steady
progress, and as the beets raised in that
section OF Virginia show large percent
age Of saccharine matter there seems to
be no reason to doubt that the cultiya-
ton Of beets ard the manufacture of
sugar will become very important in
dustry in this State. The plant which it
is proposed to erect in Richmond will
cost about 100000, and will have
capacity of disposng of 500 tons of sugar
beets II day, the production OF which will
require $500 acres of Land. The pro-
motors OF the enterprise have already
capital of 100000, which will be more
than enough to furnish the needed build
ings and machinery, aud, in the event
that the factory proves the success an
ticipated, another plant will be erected
on James river convenient to the locality
in which the beets are to be grown. The
importance OF the sugar industry to the
state renders it necessary that extensive
experiments in the cultivation OF beets
should be made next season, 18th "A view
Of fully determining how far and with
what success the production of sugar can
be carried on in Virginia So far all the
conditions for successful beet raising ap-
pear to exist in many counties, and, if
this belief is verified by actual tests.
there is nothing to prevent this State
from taking the same lead in the produc-
ton of sugar WHICH she has long held in
the cultivation and manufacture Of to-
bacco.

New Jersey Election fn Doubt.

Trenton, Oct. 1.-The latest figures
of the election held Tuesday would
seem to indicate some doubt as to the
rejection of the anti-gambling amend
ment. The official count will not occur
until Monday, and the returns are
coming in slowly, especially from the
country districts. From the returns
at hand, and from the best estimates,
the majority against the anti-gamb-
ling amendment has been cut down to
1000, and may 90 below that figure.
There is even a possibility that. the
amendment has been carried. The ad-
interim appointment amendment is
thought to have been carried by a
close vote. There is no likelihood OF

Rheumatism,
Oh the Pain!

The aches and pains Of Rheumatism
become a constant companion to all who
arc victims of this disabling disease.
Much suffering could be avoided II the
first warning pains of Rheumatism we're
needed and the proper treatment at once
taken. But the people generally are
not acquainted with the cause of the
disease, though thousands know its tor
lures. Those who use liniments and
ointmenis cannot understand why they
grow worse each winter, and find them
selves gradually becoming unable 10 get
around as they once could; yet they
know that their trouble came on at first
az little aches and pains, which hardly
attracted their attention.l
Everybody should know more about
rheumatism; they should know that it
is q peculiar condition of the blood upon
which all the Eniments in the world
can have no effect whatever. The
best blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease, and force it out. Swift's Specific
(S.S.S.) is the right remedy for Rheu-
matism, because it is the only blood
remedy free from mercury, potash and
other minerals which intensity the dis,
ease, causing stiffness of the joints and
aching of the bones.
