popular. for the trimming can be so easily
removed in case of an emergency.
The bodice is also laid in box plaits and
has a pointed yoke. Instead of being COM
posed entirely Of lace, however. the yoke
is made up of irregular bands of the lace
alternated with strips of fine white suisse,
tucked dagonally. The collar is very low
and slashed at the centre Of the front
Just enough to reveal the outline of the
throat.
The latest innovation in the line of silks
is a dead white pongcc. The shade, one
might call it thus, for there is really color
to it, is trying and unless one has per
feet complexion it casts a blush dismal
over the already frcckled and tanned ply
SoEnomY of the summer woman.
1t makes up dclcately, however. There
are three lace mcdalions over the back
of the model under discussion and two in
front, with rounded yoke of white lace
in the back, which comes down to the
centre of the front with tiny white silk
revercs The rest of the bodice is in tiny
tucks, as are also the upper part of the
sleeves, to a little below the elbow, from
whence comes a very full undersleeve
caught into cuffs of lace.
The skirt is rather plain, fitting closely
over the hips with two wide bands of
lace an equal distance apart, running over
the feet with a sweeping train at the
back.
Accompanying tho toilette is big white
straw hat. fitting up from the face, with
black velvet over the fiat crown and pink
roses where it turns up.
Gradually nplaited skirts are coming
into fashion again and no doubt by fall
they will he all tho rage. Nothing is n NJ
graceful than a black plated wolfe skirt
worn with an embroidered linen shirt
waist and smart hat. All of the fashion
able materials likewise lend themselves
to this manner of treatment. The sun
plated effects do not permit much orna-
mcntation. but n strip Of lace inset around
the bottom or medallions Of lace can be
appiqucd before the plating Is done,
In mousselinc there is a pretty new
shade of grey known as mist To heighten
its effect it is squared with good sized
stripes of a slightly darker tint-smoke
grey. The skirt of chic design has a
graduated embroidered plat running di-
rectly down the front from which come
three deep tucks below the hips. then a

Most Disastrous Day on the Elk
change Since Memorable
May 8, 1901.
PRICES DROPPED SHARPLY
An Extreme Break of 80 Points in st.
Louis and san FranciscO-ChicagO
and Eastern 1llinOis-Standard
Stocks SuHercd-Rally Mt
Close Brought RccOveries.

New York. July 15-Demoralization
ruled in the stock market day, making
it UP to the time of the closing rally one
of the most disastrous days since the
memorable panic OF May ., 1901. New low
records for the year were made In the
trading on a heavy volume of business.
Some declines in high grade Investment
stocks for the day ran all the way from
to 20 points. In the early dealings there
was a rush to sell. Prices dropped sharp
~ and in some cases precipitately, with
active stocks down 2 and 3 points each,
and with an extreme break of over 30
points reported in St. Louis and San
Francisco Chicago and Eastern Illinois
certificates. The decline was especially.
noteworthy however, in such stocks as
St. Paul. New York Central, Union PACT
fic. Canadian Pacific, Missouri Pacific,
United States Steel and General Electric.
In the last half hour covering of shorts
and investments by bargain hunters were
responsible for partial recoveries in many
issues and complete recoveries in few,
like st. Paul which closed fractionally
above Tuesdays final quotations.
Traders were naturally disposed tc
view the selling of high grade invest
ment issues with considerable uneasiness
on the theory that it represented forced
selling by important interests, who were
| compelled to part with their securities
to raise funds to protect speculative ac-
counts elsewhere in the market A dis
tinctly unfavorablc impression was Gre
ated by the announcement of an issue
of short time notes by the Union Pacific
to the amount of $1,000 900; also smaller
loans by several other railroad compan-
les.
The United States Steel issues, which
were under pressure the greater part OF
the day, made new low record prices
Buying of these shares on the decline
was said to be for the account of inter
est identified with the property. but the
support not sufficient to offset the
sales as an influence on values.
To Wall Street the unpleasant feature
of the situation is that corporate Dor
| rowing seems to be becoming greater
than less While this feature persists
| it is pointed out the street cannot hope
| for easy money.

The j. w. MCAuSIan Co.,

of such actions that what are known to
lawyers as eXtenuatinE circumstances les
sen to n considerable degree the gravity
of the Onense. it is my opinion that no
circumstances whatever can change the
classification of the crime to anything
else but murder. Any man who Kills
his fellow man otherwise than in de-
fence of himself or his property commits
nothing less than murder. The man who
takes part in the burning of a negro, no
matter how atrocOus was the latter s
conduct, is guilty of this crime.
OF course. there may be eXtenuatlon
which may vary the degree OF the crime.
but the principal participants in the crime
can be held by any court in the land for
murder in the same degree as if the crime
were committed by an individual
l know that the sentiment varies re-
garding this subject in different parts of
the country In the South the lynching
of a negro who has committed an as
sault on white girl is considered proper
and just, just as is the summary shoot
ing of a man who calls you liar to your
face. In neither case do l consider the
circumstances eXtenuating in the least,
The crime can be called nothing else
than murder.
1t is my belief that there will soon he
popular reaction against this wholesale
lynChng which seems to have swept the
country of late. Public interest is at
last being aroused by the frequency Of
the occurrence This reaction should
come in the form Of proper legislation.
We judges of the bench are powerless
TO act ON this question We cannot take
the initiative step until the cases are
brought under our jurisdiction. our
hands are virtually folded Somebody
must prosecute before the law can take
its course. No lynchng case has ever
found its way to the supreme bench, and
probably none will unless the crime is
committed in the District of Columbia,

In the special town meeting held Tues
building a new school house in the viii
laEe of Woodstock. the resolution to
appropriate SIS 900 in addition to the 500, 70
600 already appropriated at the annual
March meeting of 1908 for the purpose
of building a four-room building for the
use of the lower grades, and instructing
the committee then elected to build n
school building adapted to the wants OF
the high school and the four lower
schools OF the village, and to dispose Of
the present high school building and
apply the proceeds to the construction
of the new building and to draw orders
on the town treasurer for the additional
money, was enthusiastically carried by
viva voce vote. This will insure n
handsome eight-room. brick building with
basement containing the heating appar-
nasium at either end for the boys and
the girls. The third story above the
basement will contain large auditor
ium with stage for entertainments. The
ton of the hill on which the high school
building now stands is to be lowered six
feet and the soil will be used to grade
from the hill down to the lot recently
purchased which will make an excellent
playground. The plans drawn by the
architects, which were exhibited for in
specton at the town meeting, show that
Woodstock will finally have a school
building fully up with the times.

REWARDS FOR LOST PROPERTY
More lost and stolen articles would
be recovered If the losers would adopt
different methods in advertising fol
their property" said a headquarters
detective the other day. "Of course
honest persons do not haggle over the
remuneration for returning a locket
a Dog or anything else. But every one
is not built along those lines. 1t may
sound very nice to say, Liberal reward
if returned to owner;' but there are
different ideas Of liberality. The sum
usually dwindles in the mind Of the
owner when he sees his property be-
fore him, and no one knows this bet
ter than the finder.
1T is far more effective to set forth
given sum in the advertisement. Five
OF twenty-five dollars means more than
vague promise to be generous. OF
course there are cases when 1t Is not
wise to be too explicit, but in nine
cases out of ten a stated sum will
bring better results than an indefinite
offer. This is nearly always true with
watches with the owners monogram
engraved on the case, as the pawn
broker refuses to loan so much on artt-
cles 80 easily identified. New York
