HERMIT IN CROWDED CITY.
Resident of Syracuse, N. ", Has Not
Been Downtown i'm Thirty
Years.

A veritable Rip Van Wrinkle has been
discovered in Syracuse, N. Y, who, al
though living but short walk from the
business center, has not been downtown
IN 80 years, and has seen none of the
new sky scrapers and business blocks
which adorn Syracuse. His name is
Paul Hesley He S a well man, and has
not taken any VOW to thus seclude him
self. Moreover, he has possession of all
his faculties, is well read and intelligent.
A few days ago he was dug up by an
automobilist and taken for spin
through the city. He has lived here 55
years, and was in lower South Salina
street but very few times during all
this time.
The reason Mr. Hesley gives for this
strange, secluded life is this: when ]
was young had to work so steadily that
| didn't have time to go around and see
things, and now that am old, don t
care much about it" After his trip he
said:

Syracuse is certainly growing town
This seems like going thousands of miles
away from home"
The old man spends all his time clock
making and hoeing in the garden. He is
perfectly contented to stay at home.
Living almost around the corner from
the magnificent new high school which
the city has just erected, he never saw
the building, either completed or in
process of erection, until he took his au-
tomobile trip. Another strange feature
of the case is that he keeps in touch with
the progress of the city by means of the
newspapers, but he never has any Curl
osity to see things for himself.

AUTUMN DRESS NOTES.
Handsome Gown Materials, New Hatau
ETC., for the Early FAN
Season.

The prettiest simple gowns for au-
| tumn wear will be Notifications Of
the shirtwaist suit. Plenty of soft and
piiable materials suggest themselves
for these dresses, reports the New
York Post. There are several weights
OF canvas and voile which are adj
mirably adapted for the purpose. A
brown voile gown of this description
| has a nine-gored skirt laid in small
box plaits connected by chenille fagot-
ings. The fagoting ends above the
knees, allowing the skirt to fall in
soft folds to the feet. There is a
slight flare to the skirt. The waist is
also box plated, and the fagoting
forms deep yoke. The same scheme
appears in the full sleeve, the puff OF
which ends just below the elbow in a
deep cuff of cloth folds Joined with
fagotings.
This simple gown furnishes a hint
for numerous others. Some are plated
in broad side plaits, the skirt, waist
and sleeves following the same general
plan. They are, of course, unlined,
over silk drop skirts of the same color.
All have high stock collars, over
which are placed embroidered linen
turnover collars.
A rather more dressy gown OF this
description is in thin black voile.
trimmed with bands of coarse black
lace. 1t is mounted over slip of black
and white shepherds plaid taffeta.
This shows through the material
wherever the silk and voile touch, and
is plainly seen under the lace band
ings.
A handsome gown of thin yelling in
the shade of blue known as hydran-
gea, is accordion plated as finely as
the machine allows. The long skirt is
mounted on tight hip yoke overlaid
with bands Of coarse yellow lace. The
blouse has round yoke and collar Of
fagoted bands, and this is edged with
band of the lace three inches wide.
A second band of lace crosses the
blouse about in the middle, and there
are lace cuffs and bit of lace inser-
tion on the sleeves. The skirt is Civ
en- weight and finish by three tucks
which were run after the material was
plated.
The new hats are nearly all toque
shaped, the predicted high crowned
picture shapes not having appeared as
yet. Most of the importers doubt their
appearance at all, they having met
with small approval in European fash
ion centers The new toques are SIM
pie in design, but very graceful and
becoming. Wings are almost invari-
ably the principal decoration. A beau
tiful model in blue satin straw is
merely fiat plaque folded into shape
and mounted on brown lace straw
foundation. Two brown velvet folds
are laid across the top of the toque
and the only other trimming consists
of two large wings in shaded brown
tones, relieved with touches of white

Seeing the Expo
SitiOn.

The Wisconsin Outing Club has hit
upon a most sensible way of taking in
the st. Louis Exposition next year. The
club will go in ten hotel cars, each to
carry twenty-five people. A switch at
the expense of the club will be laid, up
on which their cars will be run, and
while in st. Louis they will live 10 their
cars. They will carry their own steward,
cooks and walters, and will have no
trouble about finding rooms or board, or
be vexed over any of the other annoy
ances which will worry most of the peo-
pie who attend the exposition. Then
they cannot only give all their time to
the Exposition. but while sightseeing
will not be vexed by misgivings about
their dinners or lodging. Then when
the thing begins to stale upon them,
they can fire up and steal away. 1t is a
good plan.

will do for you; dimly lighted store is

the treasure you are looking for.
II you are satisfied with the light you
are using, you are not the man we want
to talk to, but il you are looking for bet
ter illumination, the Wonderful Doran
Light will supply the want and we guar
antee the result
1t is as convenient MS electricity; and
easier to install. 1t is fed from seam
less wire tube, no larger in diameter than
match, which can be run through the
building the same as electric light wire,
but is not SO unsightly.
Doran lamps are connected with a
storage tank, placed out of doors il you
like, the gasoline is forced to the lamps
in the building as fast as it is used.
1000 feet of tubing would not hold more
than one pint of gasoline, and there is
absolutely no danger. The pressure is
equal all over the system and one light
is as bright as the other. The lights
can be turned up or down to any re-

The Wonderful Doran Light produces
steady, bright, clear illumination, that
will not affect the eye and is superior to
an electric arc light both in illumination
and convenience. No flicker or sputter
