THE WEARING OF JEWELS.
All Sorts of Gems Are Now Being Worn with Afternoon CostHmes--A
 New s'Lucky" Stone.

It is fashionable nowadays to wear not only diamonds and pearls with aft ernoon costumes, but also variety of other gems. The craze for barbaric jewelry was perhaps accountable for this departure in the first instance.
 At any rate, says the Brooklyn Eagle, at any society function nowadays full dress day costume is not complete with out a diamond, chain or pearl collar, while brooches, pendants and trinkets of turquofses, sapphires, rubies or emer- aids are worn in conjunction with the dainty jeweled watch. And the popular paste or turquoise buttons are always to be seen. Even for morning wear the simple shirt waist has diamond or pearl links and studs. "
 Jeweled hatpins are popular wedding gifts. Jeweled waist belts and hanging purses are also much in vogue, while the long earrings, revived about season ago, are also in evidence. both at day and evening affairs.
 Turquoises of every conceivable size and irregularity, and pearls of all shapes have been the fashion for some time past. ....
 A new stone for day wear is the New Zealand stone, which, as an adjunct to the barbaric pearl so much in favor, is charming.
 Apart from it's lovely coloring-a delicate, transparent shade of green 1t is supposed to be lucky stone as well, and to the superstitious minded is welcome substitute for the lucky, but long familiar turquoise.
 Another new stone is of the loveliest rose pink tint, transparent, yet with the cloudy softnesS of the opal This stone is worn as necklace. pendant. brooch or earrings.

DARING EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Train Held UD by Masked Men I'm
 M1umUwra.


 ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. 28.-Four masked men held up a west bound Burlington and Missouri River train north of this city. The safe in the ex- press car was dynamited and the car wrecked. Officials of the road say the Fafe contained but little money. Other reports say 1t contained from $5 GOO to $1o,000. Every thing in the safe was taken, and the men escaped in the darkness with horses. A posse was or ganized and is in pursuit of the ban dits.
 The train was stopped shortly before midnight by means of a red light. The engine and express car were uncou- pied from the balance of the train and backed half mile, where the car was dynamited. The train was in charge of Conductor Harvey, who hurried to the city and gave the alarm. The off, cers lost no time in organizing and making tho start. It was necessary for the entire train to be brought back to the city and new train made up.
 As soon as the engineer stopped in re- sponse to the red light signals he said his fiagman was covered by one of the men, while the others proceeded to the express car and demanded the door to be opened. The express messenger re- fused to comply. After shooting at the car the robbers pried off the door of the car and climbed in.
 The messenger commenced shooting, but was quickly overpowered, after which the robbers turned their atten- ton to the safe. A charge of dynamite was placed against the door and ex- ploded. The safe door was blown off, but in the explosion one of the robbers was badly hurt. Passengers on the cars, hearing the noise, rushed out of the day coaches and to the express car. The robbers fled into the fields along the track and escaped.

Court Defines the Dog's Status.

SAN FRANCESCA, Sept. 23.-"A dog is chattel and, next to man, is the most important factor in the past and present history of the country" Such is the decision as handed down in the United States court of appeals in the application of F. c. Burkal, now serv- ing a sentence for larceny in the Ram part jail, in Alaska, for a writ of ha- Geas corpus, in which dog constituted the property in question. The writ was asked for on the ground that stealing dog in Alaska was not lar ceny, as this animal is not specifically mentioned in the statutes.

Penc0ya Iron Works to Stay.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23. "No matter what happens the Pencoyd Iron works will remain here. There is no truth in the report that we are going to move to Economy, Pa.," said Charles Major, president of the A. & H. Rob- erts company of Pencoyd. '"The mills are being shut down because of the lack of orders," continued MT. Major. "We will probably close the rolling mill and steel mill, in which are en- ployed 1,400 hands. Most of our mate rial goes to the American Bridge com- pany, and 1t has much of the material on hand in New York alone, only wait ing erection when the labor troubles are over"

Crack snots Tn the Armx.

WASHINGTON Sept. 28. = Reports which are daily received by the war de- parment show that as a result of the new regulations for small arm firing the men are acquiring wonderful pro- fciency. These regulations require the men not only to hit the bullseye, but to estimate distances up to 10 per cent of thousand yards. Tn firing outside the target range at dummies the re- ports state that the results have been remarkable. The reports show excel lent results in rapid pistol firing, it be- ing common thing for the men to put five shots in the bullseye at twenty-five yards in ten seconds, although they are allowed twenty seconds in which to shoot, ,s. .,,

WOMEN GROUSE HUNTERS.
Many Titled Names Have Been Added to Roll in Recent Years in
 Great Britain.

Until few years ago, says London letter, the term sport in connection with women meant riding to hounds Now, when the rush to the north for the hunting takes place, many titled women accompany their husbands and broth CTS.
 The first woman who established her right to go out with the guns was a French woman-the Comtesse de Paris. She was for many years, irrespective of her sex, accounted to be the best shot dn the United Kingdom. Often she has Iastonished the Norfolk natives, when "a guest of the king and queen (then prince and princess of Wales) at Sand rfngham, with her prowess.
 It is narrated of her that one August, when shooting the moors in Mar forest, Aberdeenshire, as the guest of the duke and duchess of Fife, the comtesse fired s12 times in one minute. bringing bird to the ground at every shot.
 Then it came about that where the comtesse de Parw led titled English women soon followed, and now some of the smartest and most beautiful of society women are noted shots and al- ways to the fore on the grouse moors.
 It must be confessed that some of the women who accompany grouse shooting parties do not venture very far from the little white shooting boxes; but, on the other hand. there are not few who will tramp and shoot day in and day out with the men.
 The duchess of Newcastle is an excel lent shot, and she uses 12-bore double gun. She has hunted in the Rocky mountains for big game and has as fine "a collection of specimens as any one in England.
 The marchioness of Breadalbane is passionately fond of sport, and in pre- vious seasons has given a good account Of her prowess as a shot. At Black mount moor, Argyllshire, a few seasons ago, ten birds flashed over her, giving but the merest snapshot One bird dropped to the first attempt, and, swing Ing round, the marchioness dropped another bird that was in fastest flight with the other barrel. Every one who witnessed the episode agreed that better shots had never been seen on moor land
 Miss Mo1yneux last season, when shooting over the moors at Moy, Dru- mour, Perthshire, was responsible for 51 out of 257 brace bagged in single day. t.
 The duchess of Somerset, too, is a crack shot, and invariably accompanies the duke on any shooting expedition he enters upon.
 Princess Victor Dhuleep Singh, the countess of Dudley, the duchess of Bed ford and Mrs. Arthur Sassoon are all excellent shots. The duchess of Bed ford, who only took up sport after her warriage, is now one of the best shots kn the country, and uses small gun especially made for her.

In every part of Phoenix; in the homes of the wealthy, in the humble abode of the man of toll, tis now a well-known fact-a great truth-that Doan's Kidney Pills have brought more comfort to backache sufferers and cured more sick kidneys than any medicine of modern times. Read this:
 Mrs. Ysabel Moreno, of 97 South Main St., Tucson, Ariz., says: II suffered more or less with my kidneys for near ly six years, indica ted by pain through the arms, shoulders, across the small of the back and down through the Joins. I knew it was of a rheumatic tendency but what to do to stop it was a mys- tery. During the entire winter of 1902 I was misera b,e and constantly on the outlook for some means to check the trouble. Reading advertise ments about people who had been cured by using Doan's Kidney Pills influenced ne to go to a drug store for a box. followed up the treatment by using a second and a third when the annoy ance ceased. I gave Doan's Kidney Pills a thorough test and I know from the results obtained that they can be depended upon
