JOE LETTER HARD HIT.
Admits He Has Been On the Wrong
Side of the Stock Market.

New York, Oct. 22-Joseph Letter,
when seen today, admitted that, like
scores of others, he had been on the
wrong side of the market in the last
few weeks and added: "It is not
true that bankruptcy proceedings OF
any kind are pending against me.
There is no use denying the hard fact
that have been hit in the stock mar
ket in the recent slump, but l have
had harder raps in my time and have
managed to pull out without going
to the wall.
DOUBTLESS it will be news to a
great many people to hear that I am
just about on my financial feet again
after the drumming l got in the
wheat deal in Chicago a few years
ago. I woke one fine day to find that
| owed something more than $3,000,-
900. Since that time I have worked
with the one purpose of paying every
cent l owed, and am glad to say that
l am just now clearing up the fag
ends Of that disastrous wheat deal
few months more and l shall have
a clean bill Of financial health"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in.
f1ammation can be taken Out and thls
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
BY NAC DE GR1E Elm.


cream colored wild roses which are
massed with hand-painted rosebuds
and green leaves. Here superstition
gives way to charming originality
and the green of the leaves though
pale. is decided enough to make the
trimming on the dress among the
handsomest decorations Of the season
Going away costumes, to the ultra
fashionable, match in color the hair
of the bride This should be source
of constant delight to the woman
whose crown of glory is joy forever,
because where there are streaks Of
brown and gold that can only be poor
ly duplicated at the best in the new
pannies and liberty satins, they are
enhanced by the lustre of the fabrics
with their embellishments of lace and
embroidery.
Brown in all the shades is very
much in demand for travelling dress
es. Coats are made to match, trim
med with fur, preferably chinchilla,
mole or ermine, and where this is
the case the tailor made design is re-
placed by models that can serve for
dressier occasions.
Some of the newest headgear de-
signed for autumn brides have very
high narrow crowns at the base of
which the wide brim is slashed
abruptly at the back. The incision is
made to accommodate streamers Of
ribbon that are tied in full loose loops
and allowed to hang unconfned al
most to the waistline.
There are a number of new ideas
in the matter Of trimming, both for
street, house and evening gowns For
the long, close fitting tailor jacket the
newest way of stitching the seems
is with straight straps of the same
material finished at the bottom to
stimulate a golf stick, the tiny cross
section being of a different cloth
An expensive but very pretty skirt
decoration consists of bands of sable
of varying widths running from the
hem to the ends of the hip yoke after
the manner of the velvet ribbon
bands that have hitherto been fash
ionable on taffata silk dress skirts.
For evening gowns there come
flowers of pearls and lace with ex-
puisite shaded green chiffon lie ayes.
These Can be appliqued over the front
of the bodice and skirt or scattered
over the entire gown provided the con-
tents of the purse are not exhausted
before sufficient trimming has been
acquired for the purpose.
Many novel uses are found for
fringes. Applied in scroll design they
make a delightful decoration. The
newest SIX fringes have deep knot
ted headings and sometimes are inter
mingled with beaded passamenterie.
A season or two ago the fashion
able woman would have been shocked
at the sight of a colored handkerchief
Now the smartest muchoirs match the
color of the gown and are bordered
with the costliest laces
Clerical cuffs now accompany neck
wear of the same style that has prov
ed so great a favorite.

WILL CHALLENGE FOR CUP.
John Lever, Wealthy Engishman,
Wants the Cup.

Wants the Cup.
New York, Oct. 24.-Unless plans
miscarry, there will be another race
for the Americas cup next year. A
challenge may be expected by the
New York zach club at any time
now. Ten months notice is required,
according to the deed Of gift, and no
race can be sailed after November, SO
that if a challenge is received during
November, it will mean that the
races will be sailed in September next
year.
The new aspirant for cup honors is
John Lever, wealthy manufacturer
of Birkenhead, England. His facto
ries are in a small town near Birken
head, and the whole town, which is
owned by Mr.. Lever, is a model one
in every way.
Mr.. Lever is not a yachtsman, but
he has the money and can get the best
that can be had, just as Sir Thomas
did. He is member of several yacht
clubs, through one of which he will
challenge. The Royal Clyde Yacht
club is the largest and most important
Of the clubs, and among its members
are some Of the best amateur sailors
in Great Britain. Colonel D. F. D
Neill, who came here this summer
| with Sir Thomts Upton, is a Clyde
man, and it has been rumored that he
will be prominently identified with the
new yacht.

HE PROMISED
BRYAN $4,000
Letter of the Late PhiIa S. Bennett
to Democratic Leader Worded
That Way-Heirs BaIk.

New Haven, Conn, Oct 24.-As a
climax to the hearing of the applIca-
ton for the probating of the will OF
the late Philo s. Bennett, accompany
ing which was sealed letter which
William J. Bryan testified was re-
quest that he accept $4,000, Judge
Stoddard, who represents Mrs. Ben
nett, declared that if Mr.. Bryan in
sisted upon receiving the fund she
would contest the will.
Mr.. Bryan, in reply, said that not
one cent of the money would he al
low either his wife or his children to
receive unless Mrs. Bennett were will
ing. He, however, did intend to ask
the court to decide the validity of the
bequest, so that in case it was de-
clared legal, he could distribute the
money among educational and chart
table institutions.
During the hearing, Mr.. Bryan in
troduced mass Of correspondence be-
tween himself and Mr.. Bennett from
the year 1896 to 1900. He read a
number of letters aloud in order to
show that Mr.. Bennett made offers of
financial assistance to him. On four
occasions, according to the witness,
Mr.. Bennett sent him money to aid
him, the amount in all aggregating
$500. He stated that in May, 1900,
Mr.. Bennett came to Lincoln, Neb., to
discuss the provisions of his will and
told Mr.. Bryan that he wished him
to accept a bequest of $4,000 believ-
ing that he would need it later. A
suggestion made by Mr.. Bryan at
that time, was to the effect that if
Mr.. Bennett so desired he could en-
body it in a request to Mrs. Bennett
in a letter to be left with the will. He
further suggested that the money be
left in trust to himself to distribute
among educational and philanthropic
institutions After Mr.. Bennett re-
turned east he executed his will and
sent copy to Mr.. Bryan of what he
said was the letter which he left with
his will for Mrs. Bennett.
Heirs Will Contest.
When Mr. Bryan's statement had
been concluded, Judge Stoddard said
that the will would be contested by
Mrs. Bennett if Mr.. Bryan sought to
secure the money, believing that Mr..
Bryan had no equitable right to it.

CARRIES A VERY
VALUABLE CARGO
SIBERIA HAS PART PHILIPPINE
EXHIBIT TO ST LOUIS EXPOSI-
TON ON BOARD.

A very large part of the Philippine
Exhibit for st. Louis is aboard the 5.
5. Siberia. About 1000 tons of stuff is
in transit. Included in the shipment is
war canoe of one of the Filipino
tribes. Aguinaldo rode IN this canoe so
the officers of the Siberia assert. At
the present time nobody is riding in il
except a lot of tubs of sol piled high on
the poop deck of the steamer. There
are several specimens of ironwood, one
of the hard woods of the Philippines.
This wood is remarkably heavy. A
piece ten feet by four feet by one foot,
weighs three and a half tons. There
are several such specimens aboard the
vessel.
The Siberia carries a total of $500
tons of freight of which 7SG tons are
being landed at Honolulu. In her
through cargo the vessel has 174S bales
of raw silk worth $1,04S, 500. There are
also 100 cases of opium and shipment
of 100000 yen in Japanese gold. Why
such large shipment of gold is being
sent from Japan is not known.
