Gasoline Tank Blows Up and Scatters

There were strenuous times on the
Ogden-Lucln CUTOFF few nights ago
owing to the explosion Of big tank Of

gentleman who today returned from
the scene the surface Of the Great Salt
Lake was for the space OF half an hour
a veritable lake Of fire. Before the
small army of men who gathered to
the scene could get the flames extin-
guished big tug was burned to the
waters edge, the big steamer Promon-
tory was threatened with total destruc-
ton, number OF smaller boats were
badly scorched and a great deal Of
lumber and piling was damaged by
fire.
The fire was occasloned by a man in
vestigating a tank of gasoline ON the
tug by lantern light. The inquisitiye
fellow escaped with a number OF burns
and left the immediate vicinity Just
prior to the tug blowing up. When the
big pyrotechnics eventually came off
there was great spectacle. The Ham
ing liquid spread with alarming rapid
ity over the surface OF the water and
In few minutes the steamer Promon-
tory was alight in half dozen places.
Then followed lively scramble to get
the rowboats out OF the way, while men
fought the flames on the big boat which
Is nearly as large as the old Garfield
steamer. The tug that was total loss
was one OF the biggest in the lake SER
vice and was propelled by an engine Of

Dainty Accessories and Pretty Ms-

There Is O fad abroad for wearing

In the shops the little spangl.d fans

intended to be swung from long chains.

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 1t for
dress wear.
Among the prettiest materials OF the

are as sheer as gauze. and have fine
satiny finish. White grenadine with
pattern Of strewn roses formed the ma

Among dainty accessories to the toi-

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 80 fine that
they fold up in very small space. A
black one for mourning has a border on
all sides of black marabout feathers
The fashionable fur next season. say
the importers, will be mole. Already 1t
is fashionable in Europe. and American
furriers have placed immense orders for
1t. Moleskin makes up well. and wears
as well as squirrel. while in effect 1t Is
far handsomer. 1t has rich, shaded
look. changing from light to dark, maxi
ing 1t both handsome and becoming. Err
mine will be almost twice as expensive
as 1t was last winter. the catch having
been very small, and the demand for 1t
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-like severity of line.
Skirts are very uncertain quantity this
season, and the economical woman who
expects to wear some of her gowns an
other summer or into the autumn is at
loss how to have them cut. The
tight skirt. flaring at the bottom. the
ruffied and draped skirt. the sun plait-
ed. the tucked. and now the full skirt
all seem equally correct. The probable
tiles are that some form of fullness
will soon Danish the sheath effect to
which we have become accustomed. It
will be wise In buying handsome gowns
to buy few extra yards of material. to
permit Of alterations later.

JOHNSON AND BRYAN.
The Chauffeur and the Mad Mullah
of the Democracy Do n
Double Turn.

After hard, spectacular fight Tom"
L. Johnson has won the democratic
nomination for governor Of Ohio. Mr..
Bryan used his influence to help out his
friend and to see to 1t that the principles
OF the Kansas City platform were re-
affirmed. The delegates went so far as
to invite the silver-tongued Nebraskan
to deliver series of speeches for the
benefit of the faithful" In the Buckeye
state. All doubt of the Ohio democrats
loyalty to the former presidential candi-
date was removed by the action of the
convention. While no specific mention
was made of silver, the sweeping re-
affirmation Of the principles supported
by the democrats in 1900 includes the
sentiment in favor of free silver, says
the Troy Times.
Now that Mr.. Johnson is before the
public for an important Office 1t will be
interesting to watch his course. AS
mayor of a great Ohio city he has at
tracted much attention by various efforts
to reduce the price OF street car fare, by
novel methods Of conducting campaign
and by numerous strokes OF policy to
make himself solid" with the regular
democratic organization in Ohio. An
other well-known mayor of an Ohio city
predicts that TON" Johnson "is a
coming mana coming light on the po-
litical horizin." The author of this
statement, who was no other than the
celebrated Sam Jones. of Golden
Rule" fame, did not state what Mr..
Johnson was coming to. He probably
meant that the Cleveland mayor was to
become star Of the first magnitude,
and generously consented to shine be-
side him with a diminished luster. Mr..
Jones went astray into the Bryan con-
stellation in the first campaign. He
wanted to shine with silver hue. His
great companion star has always pre-
ferred the light of the yellow metal, but
is willing to change his color for the
sake of better place. 1t would not be
surprising to see Toms light go out sud
denly, just as the lights of street car
vanish when the trolley is displaced and
the motive power gives out.

HIS EFFORTS UNAvAILING.
Youth with Distssteful Hair Deter
mines to Change Its Color
mt 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
1t 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 its
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 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
man, no matter what he has to do to
change It."
