that, too, is getting to be more and
more the custom, as any one who knows
the slums of New York and its chari-
ties, can tell. One may almost any
morning Of the winter notice quietly

maid in attendance to carry the iain-
ties which perhaps daughter Of the
house of Vanderbilt is carrying to some
sick protege.
Miss Helen Gould by her generous
work and her liberal gifts during the
Spanish-American war called special
attention to the women Of her class
Miss Gould is supposed to be the mis-
tress of about s10,000,000. although
those who know say that this sum IS
tied up by the provisions of her fathers
will that her yearly income is much
smaller than it is supposed tc be. Miss
Gould has always been known to give
largely TO charity in = very quiet way.
She is the patron saint of the poor
children of New York. What she has
done for the little sufferers will prob
ably never be known. At her home
near Irvington, on tie Hudson, she is
almost always entertaining parties Of
little waits, and It IS said that she pro-
yides the funds for home for poor,
crippled and deformed children, toward
whom her heart is particularly tender.
Miss Gould's patriotism was shown
not only in her contribution Of large
sums of money to help the soldiers, but
also in the interest she has taken in a
quiet way TO help unfortunate warriors
TO obtain employment which some Of
them had forfeited BY their devotion to
their country.
Mrs Russell Sage is no less notable
for her good work Mrs. Sage is a
great friend Of the women Of the Gould
family. She is as simple and unaffected
in her daily life and lives as unostenta-
tiously as many a woman who num-
bers her wealth by thousands instead

FEARS ago-slim, tight fitting and con-
structed with tailor like simplicity;
but for the most part elegance is the
keynote.
But long coats will be omnipresent;
they are intended for both street and
carriage wear, and it is further stated
on high authority that they will top off
the conventional reception gown at
afternoon affairs. Picturesqueness has
lost none of its hold on the hearts of
women, and there be many who will
bow themselves into praiseworthy COM
ment enveloped in gorgeous coats of
cloth, satin and fur, opened down the
front to reveal in striking contrast the
daintiness of chiffon or liberty silk.
The up to date coat is cut in three
pieces-back and two front breadths
II 1t fails to fall in absolutely straight
lines from the shoulder, it curves only
slightly at the waist, but preserves the
boxlike tendencies, fitting close around
the skirt to its very edge. A five inch
slit at either side seam provides the
necessary freedom for walking.
Coats fashioned on this principle are
of covert or venetian cloth. fastening
with two rows of big pearl buttons,
and are facsimilies of mems overcoats
even unto the small revers. and at
times the "gusset sleeve" which is in
serted at the collar. These sliced or
gusset sleeves first appeared in London
two years ago on paddock or rain
coats. They have since been adapted
to all outside wraps, and though I'M
attractive they have the advantage of
novelty and are therefore sought after
Pockets play an important part in
every coats make up, sometimes as
many as half dozen disfguring the
strictly tailored garment, which. I'M
less closely scrutinized, may be mis-
taken for Cholly's top coat in a dimly

background for dark wool frocks when
the coat is permitted to fly open. The
one exception, which as usual proves
the rule, is on hand in the form of a
close fitting ulster scanned to fit the
figure snugly. But one word describes
this-"beautiful." However, it takes
perfect figure to preserve and exploit
its faultless lines. Inlaid velvet revers
are partially concealed by bands of
mode escurial lace which in like man
ner trails down the sleeves and COM
pletely covers the back. ending in
point at the waist line. A high mink
collar blends we'll with the golden
brown OF the cloth and lighter tints of
lace and velvet.
Tossed aside as if in high disfavor, I
discovered the short coat. which is
three-quarter length. 1t is medley Of
scallops. A series of fitted scaHoDs
forms double cape collar, the lower
edge is scalloped to head a sealloped
edged fiounce, while two scallops make
the cuff and six the outstanding collar.
Opera wraps are to be circular in
shape and long or short, as fancy may
dictate. Zihbeline cloth, wide vale,
soft wooden fabric closely resembling
heavy serge, is more popular than silk
or velvet. Crushed strawberry, petunia,
brick red and army blue are among the
new shades. White fox will be gener-
ally used for collars and pipings, and
on most wraps will be seen decorative
hood and tassel akin TO the loop adjust
ed by jeweled pins in the old fashioned
Arab shawl or scarf belonging to the
period Of hoopskirts and chignons.
In the current fashion notes from
abroad I observe, among other things,
two new uses for lace handkerchief.
They may form double collar to
blouse with a little skillful maniDula-
ton, or gathered at the opening in
front, represent frill like those in our
grandfather's shirts.

A MODERN soLoMoN's JUDGMENT.

TO decide case which strongly recalls
solomon's famous judgment BY u
strange coincidence woman and her
daughter both gave birth to a female
child at the same time. But the babies
got mixed and, as one OF them was ugly
and the other pretty and healthy, both
mothers claimed the latter. The elder
woman maintained that, as all her other
children were handsome, the ugly child
could not be hers, while her daughter
claimed that. being young, handsome
and strong, she could not be the mother

There were cheers for Mr.. Chamber

CHINESE TO BE LANDED.
Right of Chinese Government to Make
Demands Not Recognized.

Washington. Sept. 25.-Secretary Root
has received a cable message from Gen
Otis regarding the Chinese situation in
the Philippines. He says that the ship
load of 700 can be unloaded without any
serious interference with military opera
tions. Gen. Otis discusses at considerable e
length the subject of Chinese in the Phil
ippine islands and the dispatch was re
ferred to the state department where it
was made the subject of a conference be-
tween Acting Secretary Hill and the
Chinese minister.
A settlement of the general issue be-
tween the two governments respecting
the admission of the Chinese to the Phil
ippines was not attained through this
particular incident, which was considered
and disposed OF solely upon its own mer-
its. The Chinese will be landed but with

government to demand this. On the 9TH

Low RATES FOR LABoRERs.
Railroads Will Help Men to Secure
Employment.

st. Louis. Sept. 25-A proposition to
make special rates for contract labor
ers, in parties or singly, has been sub
mitted to the chairmen of the various
passenger associations in the country.
NO action has yet been taken on the
proposition by any association, but the
subject will be discussed at the next
meeting of nearly all the associations.
The object of the Originators of the
plan is to assist wage earners of Il
large class, who, at the beginning of
winter, move to the large cities, from
choice or otherwise, and who do not
have regular employment. Manufac-
turers and contractors for various kinds
of work in all parts of the country have
been trying to secure men through the
employment agencies in the big cities,
and in many cases the men gave as an
excuse for not accepting the places Of
fered them that they can not afford to
pay the railroad fare from the city TO
the place where the work is to be done
The proposition is to make a special
rate of fare, not more than half the
regular rate, for any laboring man On
presentation of proof that ne will be
given employment on his arrival at a
certain place. Measures would have to
be adopted by the railroads to prevent
imposition on them by persons who
should pay regular rates.

Santa Fe Shop Boys Are Anxious to
Meet the Emporia Team.

Last week the Emporia Gazette
printed an article stating that the
Santa Fe Blues" of that place had
been endeavoring to secure a game
with one of the Santa Fe shop teams OF
Topeka, and insinuated that the Topeka
boys were in the possession of white
feathers. The article was copied in the
State Journal Saturday evening, and an
hour later q letter from the base ball
boys in the Topeka shops was on its
way to EmpOria, asking the Emporia
team for chance to COME to that town
and show its members a few pointers
on how to play ball. The base ball boys
at the shops here say they have been
trying to get a game with the EmpOria
team and that this is the first intima-
tiOn that a game was wanted
It is not known just what effect that
such an early reply to the request for q
game will have on the EmpOria team.
If the team withstands the shock of re-
ceiving such an Immediate answer, and
accepts the challenge, it is not antici-
pated that it will last very long
on the base ball field. The
Topeka team is not in very good form
just at present, owing to its having
stopped practice for the season, but the
boys are once more thrown into the
base ball fever by the article from En-
poria, and hope that the Emporia team
Will give them a game.
