The train, which is the only one on the

at Brigantinue within an hour Part of
its way lay across a trestle bridge nearly
two miles long over the grassy bay. That

some accident has befallen the train at

Pure food laws passed by the last Con-
gress are being rigidly enforced by the
Department of Agriculture, much to the
confusion of New York merchants. All
imported foods have been subjected to
careful examination by the Departments
experts and in many cases adverse reports
have been made. This has called forth
many protests from the importers and DR..
II. w. Wiley, the governments chief
chemist, has gone to New York to
straighten matter out. These protes Is
were expected and are regarded as the
natural outcome of an impartial enforce
ment of the law. When the importers
once realize that the department is in
earnest, there will be fewer attempts to
bring adulterated foods into the country,
and the pure food laws will have bere-
fetal results. Secretary Wilson intends
also to issue an official certificate of
purity for American goods which are
exported, and this will make the foreign
inspection of these goods mere
formality.

HE HAD THE BEST OF 1T.
Drink Had Cost Him Many Oppor-

Alive.

He was an elderly man, very disrep-

His niece, whom he had not seen for
some years, had come across him on
Twenty-eighth street quite by accident
and had taken him home and given him
"a square meal He expressed his
thanks and they sat for some time talk

and what had become of them. The
niece, who was married, was inclined to
resent the waywardness of this partic-
ular member of her family, and at last
gave expression to her thoughts, says
the New York Times.
''Jim,' she said,- severely, why don't
you turn over new leaf and be man.
Why, if it hadn't been for drink you'd
be worth lot of money now. You've
had lots of opportunities, but drink has

NEW YORK NAVY YARD.
where Many Great S2arships and His
tOric Craft Have Been Built
and Launched.

1t was at the New York navy yard
.5tructed by any nation was built and
launched She was the old frigate Full
ton, 30-gun vessel of about 1000 tons,
built in 1915 after plans drawn by Rob-
ert Fulton. But her armament was not
limited to guns, for she was fitted to
throw hot water as well as hot shot upon
her enemy. She made her trial trip I'M
der Capt. David Porter, father of the
late Admiral David d. Porter, and she
was destroyed by the explosion of her
magazines at the navy yard in 1928. In
addition to the destruction of the ship
one officer and AZ of her crew were killed.
The next vessel constructed there was
Che "A gun frigate Ohio, modelled by
Henry Eckford, prominent naval ar
chitect and shipbuilder in his day. She
was launched in 1920 and after long
period of active service she became the
receiving ship at the Boston navy yard,
where she remained until few years
ago, and was succeeded by the Wabash
The Savannah was the next vessel
constructed at the New York yard and
she was followed by the brig Somers,
which became notorious on account of
the hanging from her yardarm of Mid
shipman Spencer and two of her crew
for mutiny Other vessels were built
there during the civil war, some being
laid down but not finished before the
war was closed, one of them being the
New York, which was afterward broken
up and thrown on the scrap heap. Then
came the battleship Maine, which YES
sci was sunk by mine explosion in the
harbor of Havana on February Is, 1885,
which resulted in the war with Spain.
Another vessel built here was the gum
boat Cincinnati, which has received new
machinery and boilers and had much
other work done, thus practically MAX
ing her new ship. She was recently
ordered to the European squadron.
Much historic interest is attached to
the old gate at York street, which was
used as the entrance to the navy yard
until the Sands street gate was finished
few years ago. The timbers with
which the York street gate was con-
structed were at first used in building
the mansion which stands on the ele-
vation' at the west side of the navy yard
and which has been the home of every
commandant since the time of Capt
Isaac Chauncey, in 1906. At the time
of the partial destruction of this build
ing in 1911 some of the scorched live
oak timbers were removed and, after
lying around the yard for dozen years
were utilized for building the big fence
which ran round the government prop
erty near the foot of Sands street When
the fence was removed many of the old
timbers were used in the construction
of the gate at York street.

A Full House.

According to a Washington story
writer President Roosevelt says that
the incident on his long trip that
amused him most occurred at small
town in Kansas, where two-minute
stop was made. The president had been
talking freely of his race suicide" no.
ton that day, says the Kansas City
journal. At the station in Kansas a
man stood holding three small children
on his shoulder and a woman close be-
side him carried two babies. The presi-
dents speech was going along smooth
ly when suddenly the man with three
children broke in with a voice that
could be heard a quarter of mile.
Hey! Teddy" he shouted, "can you
beat this? It's a full house, Teddy
triplets and twins; three of kind and

Sanitary Bread-NInkinc.

Every workman in the employ of
well known company of bread manufac-
turers is obliged to submit to physical
examination and to procure a doctors
certificate showing him to be in perfect
health Upon entering the building he
is required TO disrobe and deposit his
clothes in locker provided for the pur-
pose. He then passes through a shower
bath, and on to a farther room, where
each day clean underwear, shoes and
white canvas uniforms are provided by

not handled during it's manufacture.
The water Is sterilized and flows directly
through automatic valves into the bread
mixers troughs The milk, butter and
other ingredients are as pure as 1t is
possible to secure them, and the bread
when it comes from the oven is wrapped

IN FASHIONS REALM.
Dainty Accessories and Pretty Ma
terinIs for FAN and Winter
Costumes.

There is a fad abroad for wearing
In the shops the little spangled fans
10 much in vogue are already called
tleeve fans, although they are mostly
intended to be swung from long chains,
reports the New York Post
The fall and winter street suits will
be made with skirts of instep length,
and the long fitted coat This coat in
various adaptations, will be the prevail
ing model for street and carriage cos
tunes. It's skirt grows longer, quite
to the knee, indeed, and below it for
dress wear.
Among the prettiest materials of the
year are the new silk grenadines They
are as sheer as gauze, and have a fine
satiny finish. White grenadine with a
pattern of strewn roses formed the ma
terial of lovely dancing gown. 1t was
simply made over pink taffeta and had
a bertha and sleeve caps Of point lace,
and girdle with long ends of black vel
wet ribbon.
Among dainty accessories to the tot
lette are many scarfs, stoles and capes,
but none prettier than the plain, long
scarfs of liberty gauze which come in
variety of delicate colors as well as
black and white. These scarfs, although
a yard or more in length, are so fine that
they fold up in very small space. A
black one for mourning has border on
all sides of black marabout feathers.
The fashionable fur next season, say
the importers, will be mole. Already it
is fashionable in Europe, and American
furriers have placed immense orders for
1t. Moleskin makes up we'll, and wears
las well as squirrel. while in effect 1t is
far handsomer. 1t has rich, shaded
look, changing from light to dark, maxi
ing it both handsome and becoming. Err
mine will be almost twice as expensive
Jas it was last winter, the catch having
been very small, and the demand for it
very large.
The full skirt is certainly coming back.
Not few gowns are being made with
long, straight skirts gathered all around
the waist line and falling in full folds
to the feet in nun-liiIe severity of line.
Skirts are very uncertain quantity this
season, and the economical woman who
expects to wear some cf her gowns an
other summer or into the autumn is at
a loss how to have them cut. The
tight skirt, flaring at the bottom the
ruff1ed and draped s. irt, the sun plait-
ed, the tucked, and now the full skirt
all seem equally correct. The prcbabil-
tiles are that some form of fullness
will soon Danish the sheath effect to
which we have become accustomed 1t
will be wise in buying handsome gowns
to buy few extra yards of material, to
permit of alterations later.

HIS EFFORTS UNAvAILING.
Youth with DistastefuI Hair Deter.
mines to Change It's Color
at All Hazards.

Many and varied are the tales told Of
the efforts of some girls and women, too,
for that matter, to change the color of
their hair to some hue more desirable
than that of natures bestowing, but
it is not often that one hears of a boy
of 16 wasting any gray matter worrying
over his hair, whatever interest he may
otherwise take in his personal appear
ance. There is one boy of that age in
town, however, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, who thinks that nature might
have been more kind to him and who
strenuously objects to his Titan hued
locks. To no avail have his mother and
sisters assured him that his curly hair is
''a perfectly lovely auburn shade and
they just wish they had it." Everything
in the way of tonic and hair oil that the
boy could obtain he has secured and
used, without in the least dimming it's
brightness, but he capped the climax by
his latest exploit. From some source
or other he got bottle of ebony colored
dye, warranted to take the fire out of
the reddest hair that ever grew on hui
man head and to color the glowing locks
inky black instead. Fearing discovery
while in the act of changing red to
black the boy daubed the mixture on
hurriedly and without the aid of a mir
ror Then he went to bed. The next
morning he faced his astonished rela-
,tives at the breakfast table with the
front part Of his hair a dingy black,
showing an occasional strand of red,
and the remainder of his locks as bright
as they ever were. Explanations fol-
lowed, so did prolonged interview
with the barber and a lecture on the
folly of amateur efforts at hair painting.
Nothing further has been attempted by
the boy for month or so, but he has
not given up hopes of success by and
by, and declares that he's not going to
keep on having red hair when he's a
man, no matter what he has to do to
lchange it."

The European press insists that this is
the first step for an American invasion OF
Africa, but it forgets that one-third of the
goods that are imported into Abyssinia
come from the United States, and that it
is but natural that we should establish
diplomatic and consular relations with
the buyers of our products. More than
IS, 600, 900 of cotton goods are sent from
this country each year to the subjects OF
King Meuelik In return for these and
other goods we get ivory, hides, carpet
