! probable controversy over the ques-
ton as to whether wine or water
should be used by decreeing that

The selection Of Miss Stephenson

missioners Julius Bleyer Of Milwau-

Miss Stephenson is next to the
youngest of six daughters of the Mar
1nette lumberman and politician who
is so well known throughout the state.
She was born in Marinette q years
ago. After attending the schools of
! her native city she was a student at
J Observation-Disclosures college for two
years, going thence to La Sale Fe-
male college near Boston, from which
she was graduated with high rank in
her class
Miss Stephenson is six feet tall, a
brunette, Of bright and amiable coun-

woman of striking appearance She
is a social favorite at home and wher-
ever she is known. Her selection will
give particular satisfaction to the
people Of Marinette and of northern
Wisconsin in general
AT the present time Miss Stephenson
is travelling in Europe with her
cousin, Miss Harriet Stephenson of
Menominee, but she will start for
home in few days and within a fort
night will arrive in Wisconsin. She
was apprised yesterday Of the high
honor conferred upon her, by a cable
gram sent to Paris by her mother,
from Marinette
The name of Miss Stephenson was
proposed without the knowledge Of
her family The S1roCaction thar che
be chosen was made by Fred Carney,
ST., Of Marinette, and at once met
with much favor.

HORSELESS CARRIAGES.

The introduction Of automobile We
hicles or ''horseless carriages" is pro-
crossing with a rapidlty which may
be compared with the progress of the
bicycle in its earlier years. A num-
Der of electric cabs were recently
put upon the streets Of London, and
such has been the demand for them
that all but two have been engaged in
advance for such long periods that
they are practically unavailable to the
public. The company owning them
say they could proftably use hun
dreds more did they possess them.
By the time invention has bestowed
upon these machines the same amount
Of thought that has been spent upon
the bicycle, no doubt a pattern or
patterns of horseless vehicles will be
evolved which will make them avail
able for all purposes wherever good
roads exist; and the "horseless age
will have dawned.

THE HARVEST MOON.
Interesting Astronomical Data Fur
nished by Washburn Observatory.

Madison, Oct. l.
Few people outside of astronomical
circles are aware of the splendid
spectacle which has been provided for
them when the equinoctial moon,
reaching its full, rose at sunset on the
same hour for several successive
evenings.
This phenomenon, caused by the
sun lingering in the acute angle or
pocket caused by the tipping of the
earth, gave us, if the night was I'M
clouded, display Of wonderful ra-
dance so exquisite that nature pauses
to wonder at it, and even time for
gets to move as the days remain at
equal length, for the only period in
the year, while the harvest moon rises
at the same hour on several consecu-
tive days, instead Of ffty-two minutes
later each day, and the days and
nights are of equal length.
The harvest moon is the time for
fun and frolic in England, where the
harvest home feast is religiously OBJ
served by the farmers and yeomanry,
and the harvest hands dance and
frolic in the moonlight, which is as
brilliant as day. Since the coming in
Of electric light there is no doubt
whatever that the nose of the man In
the moon has been put out of joint in
the more civilized parts of the world,
but on the ocean and in the vast ex-
panse Of country where no artificial
light can be obtained the moon is
still an object of distinction.
The following interesting astronom-
ical data for October are furnished by
the Washburn observatory:
Mercury passes superior conjunction
Oct. 10, becoming an evening star.
Venus is still the bright evening star
in the southwest. The planet reaches
its greatest brilliancy Oct. q, on
which date it will set at 6:27 p. N.
Mars Is seen high in the morning sky
to the east, and rises from so to
10 p. IN. Jupiter is close to the sun
and passes through conjunction Oct.
10. Saturn is low in the southwest,
$40 p. N.
The times of sunrise and sunset for
the month are as follows: Sunrise:
Oct. 1, 5:55 a. m; Oct. IL, 6:06 a. m;
Oct. q, 6:1S a. M: Oct. 81, 6:31 a. m;
Sunset: Oct. l, 5:39 p. m.; Oct. II,

THE THROAT.

Years, as they increase, leave the
track of their wheels first on the
throat Sometimes a woman may
have a soft, smooth complexion, and
a shapely Juvenile figure, even when
advanced in middle age, and she might
pass for quite young were it not for
those tell-tale lines at her throat. And
these are so successfully concealed by
the ruffle that we need not wonder at
it's long reign of favoritism. Middle
aged women, therefore, cannot be too
thankful to the rufie, and they can
not coax fashion too much to keep it
in favor. For evening, with low
necked dresses, we cannot wear a ruff
fe around the throat, but we can wear
dog collar of jewels, or even of
plain velvet. Many ladies who have
long passed their youth have still re-
markedly good shoulders, but a
corded neck. Let them at once
adopt dog collar or ruff1e, and they
may wear low-necked dresses as long
as they like. I know a woman who
has quite a variety which are en-
broidered with spangles and colored
beads. The band must be wide enough
to cover the whole Of the neck and
reach well up to the chin. The prin-
cess of Wales owes much to her dog
collar in the preservation of her eX-
youthful appearance. But
to those who can still show a pure
white throat, 1 say, do so. Air and
liberty strengthen the throat and
neck. Time will come but too quick
ly when the dog collar or ruff1e may
become a necessity more than an or
nament.

Another Experience With "The Lit

Nothing in modern medicine has created
the sensation that has followed the introduc-
tion Of the Little enemies to backache."
In Shenandoah it has been just the same as
in other towns, and the march of the Little

fidence increases as case after case of kidney

Madrid, May 2O.-Although senor

net situation with Senior Sagasta.
Senor Castillo wired Senor Sagasta,
developing the reasons already ad-
vanced why he might be more useful
in his present position as ambassador
to France than as a member Of the
government. This dispatch has con-
siderably impressed the cabinet. Recent
events, especially Mr.. Chamberlain's
speech at Birmingham, have opened up
new political horizons. Therefore, It
seems important that Spain should be
represented at Paris by an ambassador
well acquainted with the tangled skein
OF European diplomacy, and a persona
grata to the French government. 1t is
believed that Senior Castillo will fulhlI
these conditions. Hence Senior Sa-

Washington, May 2O.-The force as
signed to the Philippines expedition has

jutant General Corbin last night sent
telegraphic orders to the Eighteenth

camp at New Orleans, to proceed at

bark for the Philippines as soon as
supplies and transportation can be

troops who are to be sent to reinforce
