Washington, Nov. 17.-President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay last
night attended the celebration of the
centennial anniversary of the New

Is preserved. From that pew both the

In his address President Roosevelt

which he eonfided the issue Of the
civil conflict to the divine decree.

BOYS Odd Wash Coats. in

He has found new rubber forest or
a new diamond field, climbed a hith-
erto UNEMPLOYED mountain or enjoyed
another brush with the Brazilians.
Any other official who left his work
in this casual manner would find his
services dispensed with. but everybody
| recognizes that it is absurd to try to
tie MacTurk down to an office chair
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Among the In
dams.
He does not wait for the Indians I'M
der his rule to bring their quarrels to
him to judge in the manner prescribed
by law. He goes into the forest or the
native village, sees things for himself,
and decides them on the spot. His
is rough and ready justice, like that of
an Eastern Cadi.
Sometimes he travels among the In
dams disguised as one of themselves
or as Venezuelan peon. AS he speaks
their language perfectly and is a good
actor, he is never detected. And when,
later on, some of the Indians come be-
fore him in his capacity of magistrate
he surprises them by showing an init
mate knowledge of their affairs and
detecting their cleverly constructed
perjuries.
why did you acquit that man?'
MacTurk was once asked, at the con-
clusion of a trial for stealing a gun.
"A dozen witnesses swore that they
say him take the gun. Your judgment
was in direct contradiction to the evil
dence."
80 it was" said MacTurk, "but then,
you see, l was sitting around a camp
fire with those dozen witnesses when
they concocted that evidence and re-
hearsed one another in it until they
were all word-perfect. They did not
know me again, but knew them"
Mae Turks Last Exploit.
MacTurk's last big exploit in the
annexation business happened about
two years ago. The authorities at Rio
de Jdneiro were alarmed by a report
from the frontier of IAN armed invasion
from British Guiana" On inquiry, it
appeared that the invading force
consisted of Mr.. MacTurk, with a
shotgun and a servant. He claimed
large stretch of Brazilian territory
adorned it with British flags. and sat
down quietly to await developments.
The Brazilian government dispatch
ed soldiers to arrest him and the
Governor of British Guiana sent a
peremptory command TO him to re-
cross the border. MacTurk did not
hurry to obey the command. He walt
ed two or three weeks for the soldiers,
intending to submit his claims formal
ly to their commandante for trans
mission 10 Rio. and hoping TO enjoy
little physical argument on the sub
ject.
But those soldiers knew MacTurk

A strip of applique in an open de-
sign often forms an apology for col
lar. 1t is unboned, as are the collars
on most of the all-over lace waists.
These are formed of a wide strip of
lace insertion and crush down in the
wearing.
One of the applique collars is used
on a waist of Persian lawn. The
blouse is ornamented with wide tucks
of the material and with inch-wide
lace insertion. Two of the tucks meet
to form the pleat effect down the
front. On either side rows of the in
sertion alternate with clusters of the
tucks. The insertion is fancifully APP
Piled above the bust to give round
yoke effect. A wide tuck, headed by
band of the insertion, runs around
the arm six inches below the top OF
the sleeve. A similar trimming en-
phasizes the puff just above the mod
erately narrow. tight-fitting cuff This
is formed of the tucks and insertion.
The blouse is fastened down the back
with small pearl buttons.
Something Of the collariess waist ef-
feet is obtained in the blouses, which
have a narrow standing collar of open
work lace, which is continued down
in a shallow rounded or pointed yoke.
The collar line, so unbecoming to
many threats, Is thus done away with.
A cool blouse of wash silk is made
with certain girlish simplicity. 1t

THE COLLARLESS
SHIRT WAIST A
HOT WEATHER FAD
BY HARRIET HAwLEY.

New styles appear with the excessive
heat which too often marks midsum-
mer days. Comfort takes precedence
over all other things; but the clever
modistes have found a way to com.
bine it with beauty. The result Is the
collarless blouse.
The fashion started last year, and
has had widespread growth. AS the
thermometer mounts higher, collarless
shirt waists will multiply in number
and increase in beauty. In net, dot
ted and plain; lace, embroidery and
the sheerest of summer fabrics; they
will have a cool appearance in the hot
test weather.
White is the dominant color, through
embroidery in color is used with
dainty effect.
Even the heavier linens are made in
the collarless fashion. They are more
durable and hold their shape better
than the thinner materials. They are
usually ornamented with hemstitching,
drawn work or embroidery. M
a simple linen blouse Is striped with
bands of drawn work half an inch
wide. These run three inches apart,
up and down on uhe waist. and around
the arm on the sleeves. The sleeves
are elbow length, each finished by a
narrow shaped frill edged with the
drawn work. short round collar OF
solid drawn work finishes the neck.
A similar waist was finished al the
throat by a black satin string tie ana
a turnover collar Of drawn work.

volver Rambling through the jungle
one day he met party of Venezuelan
revolutionists. There were over 100 Of
them and, as Artemus Ward would
say, only one of him. They admired
his guns and suggested that he should
hand them over for the good of the
revolution. He pointed to a wild
orange tree a couple of hundred yards
away, raised his Winchester, and fired
six shots as quickly as he could pull
the trigger. The revolutionists ran to
the tree and found that an orange had
been pierced by each shot. They passed
on without asking for the guns a Sec
ond time.
Twice Sentenced to Death.
Prior to the Venezuelan boundary
dispute, MacTurk was captured by the
Venezuelan soldiers several times, af
ter desperate battles, and was flung
into Jail. Twice he was sentenced to
be shot, and once he was actually led
out to execution and placed against a
stone wall with a file of soldiers
waiting for the command to fire. A
telegram arrived in the nick of time
countermanding the execution, in con-
sequence of threats made by the Brit
ish minister in Caracas.
Before letting him go, the Venezue-
Ian commandante tried a bluff.
IF we show mercy and release you,
senor," he said, will you take an oath
never to enter Venezuela again, never
to seek to annex our territory, and
never to demand any indemnity for
this AFFAIR.""
The men with the guns looked
threatening, but MacTurk did not turn
a hair.
IF you let me CO." he replied, Il
shall do exactly as l have done before,
and certainly 1 shall do my best to
make you pay sweetly for this bust
ness. I'm not going to lie in one of
your dirty jails for nothing"
They let him go, and sure enough
he managed to secure an indemnity
from the republic by the aid of the
British Foreign Office. Then he went
to England, worked up the British
case in the boundary dispute. and was
made a Companion of the Order of st.
Michael and st. George by Queen Vic
toria, who took keen interest in his ex-
ploits.
Despite the international complica-
tions that he raises. MacTurk's way
of doing things appeals irresistibly TO
the British temperament.
HE is unique" said a high official
of the British Guiana government.
There's only one MacTurk. thank
