expeditiously and without any fight.
REFORMATORY BILL
The Indiana Reformatory bill, which was
introduced by Senator Goodwine. has been
advanced to third reading and the pro-
gramme is TO get final action on ii at the
earliest possible moment. The bill has the
Endorsement of the administration and the
support of many members of both the
House and Senate. but its fate cannot be
positively forecasted at this time for the
reason that the opposition has not yet shown
its hand. That it will meet with opposition
goes without saying. A little quiet WORK
has already been dole against il, but no
organized fight has yet been apparent
Several of the members of both houses
have received letters from prominent
men in other cities, urging them 10 oppose
the bill, but beyond this no active OppoSl-
ton has come to light
The Democrats viii caucus on the Refor-
matory bill tomorrow. At present the
leaders of the minority say that they do not
know just where they stand in regard TO
IL. Some of the Democrats in each house
have expressed themselves as favoring IL,
while others have said that they would
oppose it. Ii is understood that in accord
ance with their agreement made before the
Legislature opened they will get together
and take a united stand either for or
against the bill. Senator Fortune, the
minority floor leader, whose home is in JEFF
ferSonville, the seat of the Reformatory,
said last evening in regard TO this bill:
81 shall look into the matter a little
further before commit myself one way or
another. In some respects / believe that
the Reformatory has been as well managed
as could be expected, and that the existing
conditions at the institution are in the main
satisfactory, but there are a few points
that / am undetermined on. l believe that
the present contract system there is vicious
and should be changed. Then, too, the fact
that the bill comes from the source il does
indicates that there is something about the
institution that is wrong. If the Republic
ans will reorganize the management of the
Reformatory and conduct an investigation
into its affairs that will be a genuine invcs-
tigation, then 1 am for the BILL
The investigation which the minority
leader suggests is exactly what some of the

to-day, killing two men, injuring more than
a dozen others and causing an estimated
money loss of $4,000. The dead are:

The factory at which occurred the ex-

feet long and about 14O feet wide. The
boiler room was located in a structure ad-
joining the main building, separated from
it by a brick wall. When the boilers let
go the force of the explosion was exerted
outward, but the side of the factory next
to the boiler room tumbled in ruins, tons
of brick falling over toward the engine

Presents for the Graduates.

Many of us are looking round for some

sees in the shops the choice is still difficult
Any one of the following articles will be
perfectly correct and sure to please her
ladyship:
A dainty fan attached to a fan chain of
imitation pearls; a hand-painted shirt waist
set of gold buttons with forget-me- not
design: anything for her desk, from clock
to letter clips: an enameled watch, a tiny
affair no larger than a Scent piece will
please her immensely, as also will a chate-
laine pin or a belt clasp.

band of lace undulates in a serpentine
fashion up the side of the leg. On other
stockings the lace insertion is set in the
front in conventional patterns.
Hosiery intended to be worn with toilets
of spangled net is ornamented with Sc
gums or embroidered with silver and gold
thread well silk. The gold embroid-
cry is striking white silk.
Another stocking marked by the ex-
treme of elegance is deliberately appliqued
with lace in flower design. White carna-
ton and lily appliques appear on black
stocking.
Mannish shoes have lost caste. They
seem out of place with the feminine "trip
peries decreed by Dame Fashion. With
them are disappearing the square toes and
low heels. The extremely high Du Barry
heel Is used on both the street shoes and
evening slippers. 1t is frequently in red,
white or some other color which contrasts
with the shoe and matches the gown.
The Cuban heel is lower and more serv-
iceable for walking purposes.
Straps and Buckles.
Strap effects are much In vogue on high
shoes and slippers The high shoes may
be fastened with eight or nine of these
straps. each ornamented with a small
buckle in silver. gilt or bronze. These
straps have superseded the colonial buckles
on low ties.
The low shoes are generally laced with
wide ribbons. Red ribbon is thus used in
black Oxford tie.
Suede ties come in every shade to match
the thin summer silk gowns. A new de-
parture in colored ties is the linen ones
to match the linen and mercerized gowns.
They come in many shades.
The evening slippers are IN satin suede
and velvet Some are lace inserted to
match the stockings. Others are trimmed
with appliques in fieur-de-lis. butterfly and
bCwknOt designs. They are embroidered
in silver and gold, and ornamented with
tiny sequins- The velvet slippers have
rhinestone buckles and the satin slippers
roSettes of lace dotted net.
