Extreme Styles Seen on the Streets
Women without Taste should Re,
ware of Striking Costumes.
The passion for extremes in fashion
suits, especially where the wearer ia
not gifted with that subtle quality call
ed discrimination. To be perfect in en-
semble no part of the toilette should
be so emphasized as to attract atten-
ton to a single point; all must blend
toward that harmonious whole that
distinguishes the tournure of the true
woman of fashion.
Since Eve first set the pace foY

however beautiful, but some one NJ

A CREED.
i believe in Human kindness
Large amid the sons of men,
Nobler far in willing blindness
Than in censure's keenest ken.

And its secret throb Of Joy;
In the love that lives through trial,
Dying not. though death destroy.

All that sin hath swept away.
Leavenlike its work pursuing
Night 10y night and day by day;
In the power Of its remoulding.
In the grace of its reprieve,
In the glory OF beholdng

In the large and full assurance

London society is described as follows
by Mr.. George w. E. Russell, who was
one of Gladstone's secretaries. Mr..
Russell writes
Smart people in London generally go
away from Saturday till Monday. and
in the country houses where they spend
their "week-ends." Sunday is COM
pletely secualrised. The keener spirits
play bridge in the garden. and in the
evening billiards and cards have effec-
tually displaced those ivory letters
which were the extreme limit of the
gayety permitted by our fathers. For
servants, on the other hand, Sunday is
a day of amending labor. Old-fashioned
people used to have cold dinner on Sun
day, in order to diminish the pressure
on the kitchen; or, II nature revolted
against that regimen, the hot meal was
cut down to it's smallest dimensions.
To-day whatever of Sunday is not oc-
cupied with exercises, is given to meals
The early cup of tea, not without ac-
compartments, is followed by break
fast which in quantity and quality re-
sembles dinner. and is served any
time from 10 to ~ A good many peo-
pie breakfast in their own rooms and
"do themselves" as the phrase is, un-
commonly well there. Luncheon has
long been dinner, excepting only soup.
The menu is printed in white and gold,
and coffee and liquors are prolonged
till within measurable distance of tea.
Tea is tea and a great deal besides
cakes, sandwiches, potted meat, poach-
ed eggs-and / have seen. in its sea-
son, a bleeding woodcock. A little jaded
by these astronomical exertions, and
only partially recruited by its curfew
game of tennis. society puts off its din
ner till 9, and then sits down with an
appetite which has gained keenness by
delay. Drinks of all descriptions circu-
late in the smoking room and the bill
lard room, and Monday morning is
well advanced before the last servant
gets to bed.
Churchgoing is, of course, a depart
ment of the observance of Sunday, and
IL has pretty nearly gone with the rest.
The leaders of fashion, as far as can
observe. do not go to church at all.
Either they think II all so silly" as
the wife of a statesman said to the
Archbishop of Canterbury about the
service in chapel which precedes din
ner at Lambeth Palace, or they are too
much fatigued by the social labors of
the preceding week, or they want to
look through their housekeeping books
or their betting books, or they can't
spare the time from bridge. 1t is cur
rently said that some very great ladies
wishing to combine their own freedom
with a proper example to the lower or
ders, always carry a prayer book when
they walk in the part before luncheon
on Sunday. II looks well and IL inn
poses no burden.

DROWNED IN A TUB.
Infant Child of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Gard Met a Strange Death
Yesterday.

Minnie, the infant daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Gard, Of 7lg Moltke
avenue, met a strange death yesterday
afternoon, by being drowned in tub
containing not more than four or Ave
inches of water The child. who was
less than two years of age. was play
ing about the house alone at the time,
The tub of water, standing in cor
ncr Of the room. eXerted strange fas-
cnation over the little one, who threw
sticks in ii for over half an hour and
then attempted to remove them. In
making an effort to recover the last
stick which she threw, the child was
forced to lean far over the edge of the
tub and in so doing lost her balance,
and her head fell below the surface of
the water.
She was unable to assume an erect
position and her cries, muftled by the
water, could not he heard out Of the
house. Her mother entered soon after
and found the child in an unconscious
state. All efforts to revive her failed,
and it is likely that she was dead when
discovered.
Coroner j. j. Roberts was notified of
the case and will today conduct an au-
topsy. The funeral announcement will

PECULIAR WRECK.
Car in the Middle of Train Jumped
the Track on the Lackawanna
and Derailed Six Others.

A most peculiar wreck occurred be-
tween and 6 o'clock yesterday after
noon on the main line Of the Lacka-
of Monroe avenue. Seven empty coal
cars were derailed, bnt no one was in
jured
At the point where the wreck oc-
CURED there is switch connecting the
west bound track with third track
next TO the east-bound track All
irregular or wildcat trains entering
the yards from the east take this
switch and enter on the third track.
A wildcat train of empty gondolas
from Port Morris, in charge of En-
gineer Heller and Conductor Costello.
entered the switch shortly after 5
o'clock and nine cars had crossed onto
the third track in safety when the
tenth car. for some as yet unaccount-
able reason, jumped the track. The
engineer felt the pull, but before he
could stop the engine, six other cars
had followed the unlucky tenth car of
the track and were pilnL in pro-
miscuous heap, both on and alongside
the track.
The wrecking car was hastily called
forts which were put forth, the west
bound track was blocked for thirty
five minutes and the east bound track
for about an hour and a half. 1t was
late at night before the wrecked cars,
some of which were badly damaged,
had been removed.

WHY HE SIGNED THE PLEDGE.
Six Reasons Given by Dean Farrar
for Total Abstinence.

One of the most brilliant of. modern
British churChmen. Frederick William
Farrar, since 1895 dean of Canterbury
and for many years chaplain to the
late Queen Victoria, lately gave six
reasons for signing a pledge of total
abstinence which constitute a most
impressive argument for temperance.
They follow:
First became convinced that the
use of alcohol in any form was not
tions have lived and hourshed with
out it. | believed that the whole race
of man had existed for centuries pre-
vious to its discovery.
"Second--I was struck by the indis-
putable fact that in England fifty
thousand inhabitants of our prisons,
accustomed to strong drink all their
lives, and the majority of them
brought into prison directly or indi-
rectly by it, could be. and were, from
the moment of their imprisonment,
absolutely deprived of it, not only
without loss, but with entire gain 10
their personal health.
Third derived from the record
testimony Of our most eminent ply
siCians that the use of alcohol is a
subtle and manifold source of dis
ease even to thousands who use it
in quantities conveniently deemed
moderate; also that all the young, and
all the healthy, and all who sleep Well
and eat we'll do not require it, and are
better without it.
"Fourth--Then the carefully drawn
statistics of many insurance societies
convinced me that total abstinence, so
far from shortening life distinctly
and undisputably conduced to longev-
ity.
"Fifth-Then ! accumulated proof
that drink is so far from being requis-
ite to physical strength or intellectual
force, that many of our greatest ath-
letes, from the days of Samson on
ward. whose drink was only of the
crystal brook" have achieved with
out alcohol mightier feats than have
ever been achieved with it.
"Sixth-And besides all this, | knew
that the life of man always gains
by abolishing needless expenses and
avoiding artificial wants. Benjamin
Franklin said, hundred years ago,
Temperance puts wood on the fire,
meat in the barrel, flour in the tub,
money in the purse credit in the coun-
try. clothes on the BARNS. intelligence
in the brain and spirit in the consti-
tuition"

AN AUTOMOBILE CLUE.
Has Been Organized by a Number of
Scrantoniana

The merry sport OF automobile racing
is the latest diversion to stir UP Scran-
tonians and an automobile club has
now been organized which will soon in
augurate its initial run.
The organizations was perfected at a
recent meeting held I'm Florey & Brooks
store, on Washington avenue. at which
were present the following: G. $. Wes-
tor, A. p. Bedford. Frank Silliman, jr..
Ralph Megargel. n. l.. Jones. l.. G.
Watkins, NJ l.. Smith J. II. Brooks,
F.. @. Conners w. l.. Connell. DIR. j. n.
Rice. DR.. Peck, G. ID. Jones and Rollo
Manville, Of Carbondale.
The club will give numerous runs
during the automobiling season, and
will probably begin it's first one In
about two weeks. Officers have been
elected for the club and are: Presi-
dent, G. :. Weston; secretary. j. H..
Brooks. A committee on rules and
regulations was also appointed. which
will report at the next meeting, which
is to take place in ten days.

only ten days more remain, including
today, for new contestants to enroll
themselves in The Trbune's Educa-
tional Contest. After August Is no
new names will be accepted to compete
with those who will at that time be on
the list. The young men and women
of Northeastern Pennsylvania who
who have not yet made UP their minds
whether or not they will take advan-
tage of The Tribune's splendid offer
should do some rapid thinking. send
in their names and addresses and be-
gin work right away. Nearly four
weeks of the contest yet remain and II
a person should begin today and get
enough points to win one Of the first
two special rewards, he or she will re-
ceive the equivalent of a salary of
more than $3.50 a week for the remain
der of the contest. Can any one expect
to receive better wages than that for
four weeks canva ssing?
Yesterday Ray Buckingham, of Elm
hurst, gained 13 points on Garfield
Anderson, of E,lmhurst, for fifth place
and drew that much further away
from Miss Meredith, who is in seventh
place.
