GREY BOUND OVER.
The Piano SwindIer Held Under
Bonds of $500.

William Grey, who was arrested Tues
day afternoon by Detectives Brown and
Lacy for having sold piano that he had
rented from Knabe & Co. 1909 Pennsyl-
vania Avenue. was yesterday held for the
action of the grand jury on charge of
grand larceny. He was unable to furnish
security in the sum of $500. and was COM
mitted to Jail. Grey, who has Travelled
under various names, appears to have
been operating quite extensively in the
piano business. Inspector Boardman has
received word from Baltimore that the
piano which Grey shipped from that place
to this city was rented from Sanders &
Staymau on February 5, and that he had
represented to them that he would want
TO buy the instrument later. After his
trial in this city it is likely that he will
be taken to Baltimore to face similar
charge there.

ing bulge many securities went off sharp
ly before they began to advance again.
Western Union was not one OF these. 1t
sold at no time in the decline more than
one and one-half points below the top

Peoples Gas was also a strong issue.

that if the market is to be strong this

The ST. Louis and San Francisco securi
ties have had remarkable advances during
the past year and especially during the
last three or four months. They are SELL
ing 20 TO 40 points above their recent low
prices. As has been stated In this column
on numerous occasions in the past year,
the outlook for these stocks is very rosy.
The earnings of the company are increas-
ing rapidly, and as the stock issues are
small this means much after the fixed
charges are paid. II is estimated that
the company is at present earning at the
rate OF 81 least per cent on the common
stock. This stock was selling at 8 and 10
a few months ago. There is much bulllsh
talk still on these securities. especially
the second preferred. which will be the
next TO come in for dividend disburse-
ment. After such a very large advance,
however. it will be well to speculate in
them with care.

General Electric was the most buoyant
stock on the list as far as the bigness of
its advance was concerned. II had one of
the most tremendous bulges ever made
by a stock in one day in the history of the
exchange, starting at 1873 ga, and selling
as high as 2l5. The close was at 211 1-2.
The bulge is explained by a semi official

SURE-POP JAMAICA GINGER.
What . Southern Merchant Found
Out After the Stun Had killea
Four Men.

They were relating incidents that
occurred in the blind tiger districts,
says the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. Said
the old revenue officer:
"All Of you know that in these dry
counties the topper who is deprived OF
his dram will soon learn to drink any
thing that is hot and fiery, from
cologne to Jamaica ginger or pepper
vinegar. Well, one of the most re-
markable things of this kind that ever
came under my observation happened
down here in one of the counties
touched by the Southern railroad.
Some time after the county went dry
a man yielded to the demands of the
frequenters of his general store and
ordered supply of the various hot
stuffs that ordinarily would have only
a moderate sale. In the lot was case
of Jamaica ginger. The first to buy
any of this ginger was couple of
brothers who had just returned home
from the state university. In few
hours after drinking some of the
stuff they were dead. Without saying
word to anybody, the merchant car
ried the case of ginger to the attic and
instructed his clerk to never sell any
OF it. A few months after that two
brothers who were in the turpentine
business and who were known as tur-
pentine riders, called at the store and
asked for Jamaica ginger.
"The owner of the store was absent
at the time, and the clerk. remember
ing the box upstairs, finally, after
much pleading on the part of the boys,
told them that there was some up
stairs, but he couldn't sell it. The
young men proposed that they would
go up and get some of it, and then he
could tell his employer that he didn't
sell it. The clerk was finally per-
suaded into this arrangement. In q
few hours both young men were dead.
When the owner of the store heard of
the deaths and the action of the clerk
he kept his own counsel. He knew,
but the clerk did not, that the deaths
of the two sets of brothers were caused
by that ginger.
"Quietly he went into an investiga-
ton. He discovered after SO long
time that the ginger was made by an
up-country firm, who, in order to pro-
duce a cheap grade of the so-called
ginger, had used wood alcohol in the
preparation OF it. This wood alcohol
being a deadly poison, death was sure
to follow the drinking of it. The store
keeper was so miserable over what
had occurred, accusing himself Of be-
ing the cause of the deaths of the four
men, that he finally told friend about
the whole transaction and then drank
a bottle of the ginger, the last of the
case, having destroyed all but one bot
tie he had reserved for his own use. It
ended his misery"

all the other fancy, light materials.
These take the place of the plain
ones in vogue for several seasons
past.
A striking novelty is white taffeta
blouse with parasol to match. The
blouse is made with inserted plaits
stitched through the center of each
plat with two rows Of black silk
stitching. 1t is fastened at one side
with wee strappings and gold but
tons. The sleeves are tucked to just
below the elbow, with puffs below
in wide cuff of the silk. The paras Of
is white taffeta stitched with black
silk around the edge, and numerous
large scroll designs of black silk,
with BLACK velvet bow at the top.
The neckwear of the season offers
us an unusual number of attractive
novelties. Among these are long
scarfs that may be worn either
around the shoulders or draped over
the head, as occasion demands.
These are made of crepe de chine
plisse, rather heavy and lustrous
weave. There are any number of
stock collars, fichus, sailor collars,
L'Aiglon effects, automobile ties, and
fancy Persian vests, collars, front
yokes and boleros.
One of the oldest of the neckwear,

in fact resembles one to some ex.
tent.
A third is a fascinating white chit
fon ruxe made double, with ends tc
the waist line. 1t is tipped with small
velvet violets and wee little white os-
trich tips.
A novelty that will be greatly worn
with the elbow sleeves that are a
feature for the summer is a long
glove that is made in two pieces. 1t
is a short two or three-hutton glove,
and long detached close-fitting por.
ton to reach well up on the arm.
The connection between the two
portions is concealed by a band of
velvet ribbon or ruched ribbon, fast.
ened with buckle, or jeweled but
ton. You can get these in all the
light evening shades.
Liberty muslins in Powered designs

row velvet ribbon. Powered muslin
should be made up over white for a

ASHION writers seem to have an

FASHION writers seem to have an
i unwritten law that gowns, coats
and hats must be given the place
OF prominence in every letter. L
have followed the same rule, but this
time am going to violate it, and
1or once give the place Of prominence
and the illustrations to the little nov
elites that are making the season the
elaborate one it is.
In the states we would say that
never in the memory of the oldest
lnhabltant' had there been such a
diversity of these novelties known in
any one season. There is seemingly
no end to the little odds and ends
that have each a fixed place in the
wardrobes of the summer, and with
out which it would be quite as far
from complete as without the usual
array of gowns for the several occa-
slons which must be provided for.
Let us take few of them as they
come and describe them. Parasols,
as l wrote some time ago, are among
the leaders in the way of novelty ac-
cessories. With them it is not one
new idea introduced, but scores Of
them, and all attractive. Parasols
must this year match ones gowns
whenever they are carried, and this
means goodly array of them in ev-
cry wardrobe. Those designed for
coaching occasions are trimmed with
lace, chiffon, ribbon, mousseline and

IMPROVE THE HUMAN RACE.
Modern Means That Are Being EN-
ployed for Mans Physical
Development.

Man il an animal, and Darwin has
shown that not only is he closely akin
to other animals, but that the laws
which control the development of the
lower animals also control the devel-
opment of man. He has also shown
that crossed breeds of animals are
larger and stronger than either pa
rent. When we examine into the ORR
gin Of the English people we find the
ancient Britons fighting and mingling
with the Romans and subsequently
with the Picts. Scots, Danes, Saxons
and Normans. For more than 1000
years these various breeds of men have
been nodded into that homogeneous
mass that we know as Englishmen,
says the Baltimore Sun.
Turning to the United States, we
find the foundations of new nation
laid by the sturdiest and most enter
prising of these same Englishmen.
They landed on the then distant shore,
conquered the wilderness, organized q
new government closely akin to the
old, and invited the people of all the
world to join them. The Slavs. the
Germans and the Latins mingled to-
gether, and in few years become neo-
Anglo-Saxons, or what may be more
properly termed Anglo-Americans.
The evolution going on in the United
States is also going on in Canada. in
South Africa, in Australia, in New
Zealand and in other smaller places
scattered around the world.
There is thus being formed on
gigantic scale a new race of men built
on the strongest lines in which it is
possible to construct human beings.
The different sections of this new
race have a common language and
literature, the same laws and customs
and the trend of industrial civilization
gives them identical political inter
ests.

Taffetas have lost but little in the
race for favor. The new ones for
this year are unusually soft in tex
ture and show many printed pat
terms.
For the spring gowns the demand
was for cloth that was both supple
and light. For this reason, the new
cashmeres were popular, and have
been greatly worn. Its suppleness re-
spends to the prevailing note of fash
ion.
Supreme style continues to insist
