COURT MOURNING.
Period OF Grief In Various Conn
tries Depend. Entirely ON
Rank of Deceased.

Now. that SO many countries are
plunged into grief over the.lo of King
Humbert of Italy and the duke. of
Saxe-Coburg, mourning such as pre-
scribed by the court is being worn.
In England it is customary to mourn
for our king or queen three months;
for a son or daughtersof our rssovereign,
such as is the case now for the duke of
Saxe-Coburg, it is to be six weeks;
for brother or a sister of soverei ign,
only three weeks; for an uncle, aunt,
nephew or niece, the court goes into
mourning for two weeks; while from
three to ten days is usual for a cousin,
according to the relationship. The
royal regulation for the first period is
black dress, white gloves, black or
white shoes, feather and fans, white
pearls, diamonds or plain gold and sill
yer ornaments may be worn, says the
London Times. For the men, black
court dress with black swords and
buckles.
At the end of that period, which is
generally a third of the whole, accord
ing to the rank of royalty being
mourned for, the costume is changed,
the ladies then wearing black dresses
with colored ribbons, flowers, fea theirs,
and orna ments, while the men remain
as before until the court goes out Of
mourning. For the military and other
royal servants black Grape band is
fixed to the left arm for the time speci-
fed, while at night the handle of the
sword is also to be enveloped in Grape.
In different countries different
mourning colors are used. but all over
Europe black is universal.

EXORBITANT TIPS.


The tipping question. is one to be
carefully taken into consideration be-
fore ending round Of visits or an tim
srary. From time to time discussions
have arisen as to the possibility of dos.
ing away with the doucenr. Some
oeople have steadfastly set their faces
against it so far as their own house
servants are concerned, but it. is obvi-
ously impossible to put an end to the
practice altogether, because. there are
some people who would always persist
in buying attention and fayors, what
ever might be the custom, and others
who would tip from sheer generos-
!ty, but we may well pray that some
kind Of restraint may belaid upon the
very rich, who nowadays are so many
in number. '..>2 '-' ,'s7'. p a.. IT.. =
The millionaire is no longer a rara
avis, and if the very rich set the ex-
ample of presenting douceurs of such
magnitude that the aggregate sum Of
their tips while visiting here or stay
ing there is duly Photographed, how
many of those of limited income ever
hope to win any respect or command
any attention.? The result of such alb
solutely indiscreet generosity is to
make it almost impossible for those of
limited means to go about at all, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. How, for ex-
ample. can women with purses but
sparsely Lined accept invitations to
stay in the same house with the wives
and daughters of men who think moth
| ing of giving SIS where the less endowed
can give but so cents? The system is
, altogether wrong; and if hostesses al
low their servants to receive money
from their guests they should take
some means of making it known that
it will be taken as a personal favor if
a certain sum is not exceeded.

One of the Ironies of war,

Capt. Lans, Of the German navy,
who took such prominent part in the
capture of the Taku forts, writes
home that the Germans captured at
that place II guns of various caliber
and much ammunition. "These," de-
clares Capt. 4Lans, 'are the guns which
have killed and wounded so many Of
my brave fellows, and which alas! like
almost all the enemy's guns and am
munition, come from our native coun-
try. The guns are all modern quick
firers from Krupp's."

HOW TO MAKE FORTUNES.

Press. The great fortunes from the
Development of the transportation
business have been made. Hereafter
there is to .be more and more distribu-
ton of these fortunes. But Mr.. Hunt

chemist were to make discovery of
some combination that would take the
place of rubber he would have at his
handsa fortune quite as great as that
gained by Bessemer when he discov

steel. In fact, Mr.. Huntington de-
clared that if he were a younger man,
or were beginning to-day his career,
he would go to Africa or South Amer
lea and undertake the cultivation Of
rubber, while at the same time he

the chemists, with the hope that they

process. of which he had the trade

a pulp to paper manufacturers as
good as that of spruce timber would
not wait long for wealth or enormous
wealth. and in gaining great riches
for himself would add greatly to the
wealth of the world.

to Newport

States torpedo boats Dahlgren and Craven
were in collision off Castle Hill Tuesday
night, the latter as a result, having been
slightly damaged. The two boats left
here last evening for the Portsmouth, N.

cross the bow of the Craven near the bell
buoy off Castle Hill. The Craven struck
the Dahlgren % feet abaft the STEM the

it pointed towards the stern AS the
Craven was making water rapidly the
forward compartment was closed and the
crew prepared to leave the boat. One of
the Craven's crew fell overheard and he
was in the water nearly half an hour and
was nearly exhausted before being picked
up by one of the boats from the Dahlgren.
With one engine going ahead and the
other reversed IN order to overcome the
twist in the bow. the Craven succeeded
in reaching her slip at the torpedo sta
tion here. The Dahlgren, only slightly
damaged, kept close to the Craven and at
tempted to make the slip next to her. A
northerly gale was blowing at the time
and the Dahlgren plunged into the stern
of the Craven, ripping away everything
for ten feet. The Dahlgren backed away,
and IN the second attempt to reach the
slip was again blown out of her course,

A DEFENSE OF THE TRUSTS.
A Book Which tho Republican National Gem
mittee is Distributing.
(By the Associated Press.)

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Oct. T.-At New
burg Mr.. Bryan spoke to crowd of sew
eral thousand people from a stand in
front CT the court house and the speech
was frequently and loudly applauded.
Il want you to know said Mr. Bryan
chat the National Biscuit company has
116 factories, and when / was at Man
kato, Mimi, the other day l found a
cracker factory that had been bought by
the National Biscuit company and closed
down within a short time. You will find
that every one Of the concerns mentioned
is one of the great trusts. The American
Steel and Wire company controls 80 per
cent of the output Of wire nails and steel
wire and you remember that within
year that company closed down twelve
factories, threw 5000 men out of employ
ment and then reduced the price Of wire
nails and barbed wire in an instant, threw
upon the men who had bought up stocks
OF wire and nails heavy loss,
and it was stated that the man who was
responsible for it did it in order to make
more money on the stock market in the
depression of the price of the stock than
a man could make in an ordinary life
time. Why is it, he asked, that your
papers will defend these trusts?"
Mr.. Bryan charged that the Republican
party was circulating a book prepared by
a man named Weeks, which defended
the trusts, and said:
1.-THE National Publishing company of
New York printed the books. 1t first
asked the trusts to buy the book and
circulate it. 1t found that the trusts
did not want to undertake the circulation
of the book themselves and this pub
fishing company wrote letter to the
trusts, copy of which is in the hands
of Ex-Governor Stone, saying:
:" To overcome that difficulty we have
arranged with the Republican National
committee to have it distribute books in
such manner and in such places as to in
sure the best result and Governor Stone
has receipt signed for the National COM
mittee of the Republican party by ]. H.
Manly for 500 copies Of book in defense
of trusts, paid for by the trusts, to be
circulated by the Republican committee
among people to convince them that
trusts are good, while the leaders say
the Republican party is opposed to trusts.
1 want to ask you whether you have faith
in party that thus promises the people
relief from the trusts while the commit
tee circulates book to defend the
trusts"
