Theme fcr MY Lady.

There are to be three drawing-room
receptions in June and it is rumored
that the queen herself will be present
at the first at least. In face of the
fact that the jubilee festivities promise
to make the present season the most
brilliant ever enjoyed in London and
considering the great number of for
eigners who will attend these elaborate
functions, all the favored women Of
England are now deep in the mysteries
OF appropriate gowns. A white satin
made with a plain gored skirt
a low bodice Of white ,jsse
front. with tiny boleros Of
rea lace, Is a particularly rich
combination; the whole body of skirt
and waist of white satin is covered
with embroidered gold shamrocks and
the sleeves are merely two wings Of
satin, caught at the top of the shonl-
ders with tiny knots Of blossoms. The
waist is enciroled with wide. heavy
white satin ribbon, tied at the back
n hanging in long ends and loop
to the bottom Of the hem.

Search for the Causes and Appropriate
Fol u juvenile criminality we
must search for the special cause and
for appropriate remedies, says the
ChautauQuan. According to the statis-
tics. the check on crime attains it's Gull
minatins point from the ages of 81 to 30
years. It falls a little from 30 to 40
years and falls rapidly from 40 to so.
1t is therefore youth which is the criti-
cal age and everything depends on good
direction at tho beginning. Children
have been defined as little savages and
also as little criminals. willful liars.
cruel and selfish. 1t has been said that
the child reproduces in it's develop
ments all the phases of the human race
passing from barbarism to civilization.
Certainly the instincts that are bad and
even criminal are frequently found in
children. But a good education almost
always gets the better of these in
stincts with considerable facility. The
good sentiments acquired at that age
rapidly become instructive and lasting.
only no mistake must be made as to
the choice Of means.

acy and that she is anxious to return
to this country.
She says that she is at the Hotel
Cecil in London and that Won Arnold,
alias Baron Won Turkheim," intends
to desert her. She asks her friends to
send her sufficient money to return, as
she is without funds.
That she now appreciates fully the
villainy of Turkheim is shown by the
suggestion that steps be taken to eff
feet the extradition of her husband and
compel his return, where he commit
to say nothing of the conspiracy in
which he was the leading actor.
Chief Lees of the San Francisco po-
lice turned the cablegram over to the
Woman's attorney, who will probably
demand Arnold's extradition at once.
To a press representative Miss
Young said the baron" tried to pois-
on her with laudnaum on their way

also engaged in trying to decide the
claim of Mrs. Nettie R. Craven to the

peared on the scene Mrs. Craven, show
ing a penciled will and several deeds
to valuable property, executed by the
senator. The matter was made all the
alarming as Mrs. Craven was a
principal in a grammar school in San
francisco, thus establishing a good
claim to her right to be noticed.
The recognized heirs, however, de-
cided to defy the school teacher, until
she came forward with a signed mar
riage contract between her and Mr..
Fair. The sum named by Mrs. Craven
for compromise, however. was so large
that Mr.. Oelrichs, as representative Of
his wife and her brother and sister. de-
cided to fight the matter out in court.
Mrs. Craven insists that she is driven
to make this battle for the property
decided to her and for the sum of ST.
l25,OOO in the interest of her daughter.
The opponents hope to prove that the
penclled will, the marriage contract
and the deeds presented by the new
claimant are forgeries.

New York Stock Market.

New York, October 6.-The bulls
maintained a waiting attitude for the
most part in today's market and the
further stop loss orders and depressing
the general level of the market a furth-
err sharp fraction. There seems to be
long stock to sell and the bears are
thus encouraged to continue their eff
forts. Where there is evidence Of rea-
iizing they apply pressure by short SELL
ing and 81 precipitate the decline to a
point where stop loss riders are added
to the weight of the market. The con-
sequence Of the policy was very sharp
declines in the special stocks during
the day, Sugar, Chicago Gas, Manhat-
tan, Bay State Gas and the grangers
being the objects Of most aggressive at
tack. The lowest prices of the day
were made early in the ina hour, but
the last half our of the trading saw
a steady hardening of prices, which
materially reduced the net losses. All

Dictated continued increase in actual
values and ther was 40 assignable
cause for the decline except the exag-
gerateG level of prices which has been
attained.
One of the features of the day was
the large buying in Pennsylvania and
a sharp rise in the price of stocks. The
announcement of the withdrawal from
the Bank of England of $500. 900 in
American eagles for shipment to New
York had only a momentary effect in
steadying prices. This vas the more

to be the beginning of a steady import

INOCULATION FROM STINGS.
LondOn Illustrated News.)

The interesting observations recently
recorded regarding the freedom from
the effects Of mosquito bites and bee
stings which may be induced by pre-
vious injuries OF this kind, demand a
word of notice. The idea implied by
this immunity is hat previous bites or
stings inOculate the blood with some
principle or toxin derived from the
poison, which in it's turn protects the
body from fresh attack. An analogy
can be seer between this naturally pro-
duced immunity and that which is pre-
scented by the treatment of diphtheria
with the antitoXine Of the disease. One
writer told his experience to the effect
that, being a beekeeper, he had never
suffered from stings after he had been
once very severely stung by a swarm.
Probably his system had become thor
oughly inoculated by the big dose Of
poison he then received. OF mosquito
bites the same experience has been re-
lated. But what will be Of interest to
biologists is the recital of yet another
correspondent, that such freedom from
mosquito stings is not invariably met
with as a of frequent bites.
1t is an illustration of a law I have
never been weary Of pointing out when
unreasonable people have argued that
because a process or treatment did not
same way it was therefore of no value
at all. The law I refer to is that which
teaches US that when we are dealing
with living beings we cannot expect to
find mathematical certainty in our re-
suits. Life is q very different thing, in
all it's variability, from mathematical
and exact calculations.

The pavilion contained 500 horses, and
it was with the greatest difficulty that
they were rescued. AS it was, many
were burned to death. Several men mar
rowly escaped being trampled to death
by the maddened brutes as they en-
deavored to drive them through the
doors. 1t was found impossible to get a
single horse to leave the pavilion until

IMPENDING HORRORS OF ALASKA
New York Tribune.)

Views ago, when the mad ruSh to
the Yukon river gold fields bega tr
the Yukon gold fields were began
strong warning Of the dangers OF such
enterprise was given. It was pointed
out hat the stories Of returning min
ers who had "struck it rich were evil
IDENTIFY much exaggerated: that these
fortunate mes were a mere fraction Of
the host that mad gone to the Yukon
the tihers probably having failed or
perished; that placer miners were of
ALL least trustworthy for extended
yield and lasting value; that the CHI
mate of that region was as rigious as
hat of Spitzbergen, n the Journey
thither comparable with a Polar quest,
and hat an indiscriminate rush
thither of inexperienced and i~lprepared
| men would be ominous Of greater loss
of human life than gain of gold. The
| warning was given, in the face of the
sensational heyday which acclaimed
| the finding Of a new Eldorado and a
new eathly paradise aomid the rocks
and glaciers of the Arctic wilderness.
It was we believe, needed by many, to
the saving of their money, health and
lives. To wha extent it was unheeded
| by those made blind and deaf and reas-
| onless by the "auri sacra fames," the
ominous tidings of the day reveal.
Stories of great strikes" nave now
| ceased. Instead we hear Of hundreds
| of fortune-seekers stranded on mid
| trail, unable to go forward or to get
| back. At the Yukon itself there are
thousands of idle men who have failed
to get claims on which to dig for gold,
or employment from those who are
more fortunate. Already supplies Of
| food are running low. The reckless
visionaries, who a little while 81 were
| talking of railroads and trolley lines
to the Klondike, now find the trail
| scarcely traveable by dog teams and
| Indian guides. And winter las not yet
| set in. In a few weeks the passes will
be filled with snow, and to get within
| 500 miles Of the Klondy!ze will be as dit
ficult to cross mid-Greenland or to ex-
| ercise Franz Josef Land. And there
are thousand of men up there, without
houses -, without fit clothes, and with
food not sufficient for half their num-
Der. That, plain and u~nvarnished, is
the actual state Of affairs today.
No wonder. then. that the very voices
which recently were crying "Ho, for
the Klondyke!" are now uttering warn
ings, when it is too late, and are &C.
tually beginning to invoke relief from
the results of their w mad vaporings
Relief is alreody needed. It will soon
be needed on an erroneous scale. And
no relief that can be given will be ade-
quate ii the awful need. Seldom nave
the materials for wholesale tragedy
been more surely gathered and dis.
poser to deadly advantage than this
yer on the upper Yukon. All that car
be lone in rescue I'M relief should, OF
course, be done, just as we should save
from drowning the idiot who rocks 6
boat "for fun" But after all is done
the name of Klondyke will probably bt
come as synonymous with famine, suf'
fering, and death as the most sanguint
prospectors ever hoped it would bs
with golden fortune"

Rebuttal Evidence in the Luetgert Case
Chicago, October 1.-The testimony
in the Luetgert trial today was more
interesting to the general public than
it has been at any time for the last
two weeks. The dry technical evidence
of the experts ave way to impeach-
ment~ evidence offered by the state
against the witnesses for the defense
who had stated on the stand that MES:
Luetgert had been seen in the vicinity
of KenOsha, Wis, within a few days
after the murder is said to have been
committed. Several of those who
claimed to have seen the woman
around Kenosha Jared badly at the
hand of their neighbOrs, and Witness
Scholey, the principal witness for the
defense on the KenOsha story had his
character torn to shreds. One of his
n~eighbors who testified against him
said. he did not know what was meant
by SchOley's 'veracity," but made him
self clear in the next breath by ad-
ding: Il do know though, hat Scholey
is no good"
Evidence was introduced to show
that Luetgert had not put any grease
or Clipped bone into his watts for max
ing soap On the night of May LIST, as
his business partner, William Charles
had testified, because it had all been
carted away on the morning before. It
was also shown that Luetgert had no
occasion to make n soap for when
the factory was seized by a deputy
sheriff several days after the murder is
said to ave been committed, a great

were found in the basement of the fac
