THE NEWEST STYLE
 IN WINTER CO|FFURES
Parted Hair is Now the Fashion AmongSmart'Wo Because
 it Lends Youth to the Face.

The newest thing in hairdressing is the part at the side It has come in on a wave of popularity, and it is already the rage. It is becoming to almost every face.
 Mrs. James Brown Potter started this fashion. She was clever enough to see that it was a style that made face look youth ful and was immediately followed in set ting this fashion by Mrs. Cornwallis West, formerly Lady Randolph Churchill It is susceptible of many changes, and fits in with every mode of coiffure.
 A quantity of hair is no longer desirable for arranging the newest cultures. The greatest care should be taken in the way ing. This is apt to betray the hand Of the amateur The waves should be soft, not very pronounced, and never fuzzy, as Is of ten the case.
 First the hair is parted on the side, then divided off around the head in sufficient quantity for thick, silky waves. The re- mainder is firmly tied on the ball of the head. After waving, not by rolling the hair round the iron, but by using the tongs more as crimping iron and with the aid of the comb, putting each wave in sepa- rate, snarl the hair to give the puffy pom padour effect. Snarling is done by insert ing the comb under each piece of hair be- fore it Is pinned back and combing it to- ward the head.
 Then loosely catch back the waved hair. piece at a time, over the string that holds the other hair in place. See that 1t Is se- cure but not tight Any rebellious locks can be held down with invisible hairpins. The unwaved hair is next brought smooth ly over the finger to form a puff. Pin this in place and make smaller puff above. and then carry the ends around and around as often as the length permits. Now take the comb and pull the hair down enough in the back to give a full loose effect Bring the waved ends around to the top of the puffs and fasten them down in two round rose effects.
 A feature of winter cultures will be that the hair is done more In the center of the head. The part will not permit of its be- ing brought so far forward as formerly. The regular pompadour can be done in the same manner by merely emitting the part.
 Soft aigrettes will be used more than bows this season. These will match the color of the gown. Iridescent effects. es- pecially in gold spangles, will be worn- as

34,OOO CLAIMS
 HAVE BEEN FILED Pension Bureau Besieged With Applications Growing Out
 of the Hate" War

Washington, October 23.-Many inquiries have been made recently at the pension office as to the status of claims filed for pensions by soldiers of the Spanish-Amerl- can war. Commissioner Evans said today that the bureau scarcely had time to re- claims were being adjudicated as rapidly as possible.
 There have been filed 34,000 claims on account of the Spanish-American war, up tc Monday morning, October 22," said the commissioner. Calls have been made for evidence in 33,424 of these claims. Medical examinations have been ordered by this bureau in 2S, 2S4 claims. The difference be- tween the number of claims filed and the number of medical examina tions ordered practically represents the number of widows and dependents claims Four thousand two hundred and thirty-seven of these claims have been adiudicated al- ready.
 When the division was organized hav- ing charge of these claims, all claims of widows and claims of gunshot wounds and severe disabity of soldiers, were given the right of way, practically making them special, and they were promptly adjudica- ted. Twenty-Five clerks were assigned to this work, and like other divisions of the bureau, the work Is now practically cor rect. All classes of claims are treated alike, as provided by law the established prac- tice."

 For women who are still blessed with youth the new style of dressing the hair is in favor It is parted on the side, waved, snarled and carried away from the face in pompadour fashion. The other part of the hair is tied well on the back of the head. Then all the hair is coiled loosely together and the coil twisted something likely double figure 8. A rose Is added on the left side. This Is the prettiest style of all for fresh young faces, but should not be at tempted by woman who is not in the first stage of youth

ages Suffered by Mission

(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. est developed
today that the chief point in the ex-
changes concerning China which have
been going on during the last few
days among the powers relates to the
wisdom of delivering an ''ultimatum"
to China, using the express word ''ulti-
matum' in the text Of the demand to
be handed to the Chinese envoys. in
volving the possibility of a resulting
declaration of war against China in
case the demands of the ultimatum be
not complied with. 1t appears that
some of the powers desired the express
use of the word ''ultimatum" in the
demand relative to the decapitation or
other extreme punishment of the
princes and other high officials respon-
sible for the outrages, and this view of
using the most expressive term of
diplomacy seems to have found favor
mith the ministers at Pekin. When it
became known at the several capitals
considerable dissent became manifest
About a week ago Japan took the
initiative in an appeal for moderation
and this received favorable conSiderra
sia. and probably Britain, although a
positive statement as to Great Britain
cannot be made. About the same time
Secretary Hay took steps to express
the view of this government, that it
was inadyisable to proceed to the eX-
tent of an ultimatum against China,
but that the demands should not be
beyond what China reasonably might
have the power to comply with. The
unanimity of sentiment among the
powers gives grounds for the belief
that the demands of the ministers will
be modified by the omission of an ulti-
matum, although it is not yet clear
what the final attitude of the remain
ing powers-Germany, Austria, and
Italy, will be.
The negotiations in this particular
were carried on in London through
Ambassador Uhoate and it is regarded
as significant that one of the parties
to the AnglO-German alliance should
give its adherence to the moderate po-
sition advanced by the United States.

annual meeting. 1t is also reported
that as a step precedent to the entrance

the petition rs nearing in the case

decided last February against the rail
