Hospital Physicians Notified.


One glance in the boat house assured the
and he started off on run to the Elmer
gency Hospital On the way to the hos
pital the policeman fell from exhaustion,
but he recovered his strength enough to
enable him to resume his journey. He fell
second time, and 1t is his idea that a
shock from lightning had something to do
with his fall. When he finally reached the
hospital he was in a state of collapse, and
1t was not until a stimulant had been ad-
minlstered that he was able to give the
doctors the information that they were
needed at the bathing beach. Drs Dunn,
Perkins and Hussey resident physicians al
the hospital, entered the ambulance and
the animal attached to the vehicle made a
quick run through the rain.
Upon reaching the boat house the phys-
clans faced a condition of affairs that re-
quired quick and heroic action, having
made preparations to treat the victims
while being conveyed from the river front
IN the ambulance. They found that Smith
was dead and that those who were still I'M
conscious were Slaughter and Lines The
former had been burned in addition to suf-
fering from the effects of the shock Lines
had been injured by falling and had lost
some blood When the physicians had
given them what treatment they could at
the boat house the two victims were placed
in the ambulance and driven to the hos
pital Under the hospital treatment they
soon got better, and this morning the be-
lief was expressed that they will recover.
Eshelman. Washington and Sheckles were
conveyed to the hospital in one of knox's
express wagons that happened to be on the
river front at the time the building was
struck. They had received minor burns
and injuries and were sent to their homes
yesterday afternoon.

Given a Scare.

The shock that caused so much damage
at the bathing beach was felt at the house
of detention, where the prisoners and at
tendants were given a scare. Four colored
women were held as prisoners in one of
the large cells on the upper floor, and they
were SO badly frightened that they crawled
under the bed and all that was to be seen
Of them when the frightened matron re-
turned to the room were their eight feet
protruding from beneath the bed. Those
who were on the first floor on the struc-
ture saw what appeared to be ball of
fire pass through the building. Some of
them felt the shock. The building sus-
tanned no damage nor was anybody hurt.
During the storm at noon Johnson's
Hotel and H. J. Staley's lunch room were
visited by lightning. The buildings were
not damaged. but a number of persons
were frightened. The streets were flooded
and water caused some damage in eel
lars. When the second electric storm ap-
peared in the afternoon people were bet

make it smart was set on foot last sea
son without success. but this year we
have copied Armenian embroideries on
grass lawn foundations, and this relief
to the somber hue of the lawn fabric
has produced the present smart effect
and made it very desirable as a dress
material.
The popularity of red shows no sign
of abating. On the contrary, it is on
the increase. A striking looking girl of
the genuine blond type was walking in
the Bots gowned in a killed skirt of
black spotted red delaine. A black mil
itary three-quarter coat and a CONT
mental black straw hat caught at the
side with three small tips emphasized
beautifully the military cachet.
For a simple indoor frock a gray tus-
sore is quite the thing with no trim

on the waist and four on the skirt yoke
and a becoming number decorating the
top of the full sleeve. When a collar
and cuffs of Irish lace are put on. a
good effect is gained at.small cost.
1t seems that we are rushing along at
top speed in our fashions now. One
vogue is hardly established before we
hurry on to another. To hasten slowly
is a command that seems but a dull
formula to modern men and women,
and as some one says, the passion of
speed is in their veins, and many of
them scarcely care whether they hurry
to heaven or the abyss so long as they
hurry. CATHERINE TALBOT.

It seems we are to go bareheaded this
summer as was the custom last season.
Although the new parasol is sufficiently
alIuring in itself. the summer girl who
keeps in touch with the modes is going
to need number of these projections
to be quite in it.
For actual service the silk coaching
parasols are the smartest. They come
in attractive checks, red and white,
blue and white-indeed, almost every
color combined with white-with a
deep border in solid color or a check
border with a solid center.
My lady must have parasols to match
her tub gowns. and when made of the
same material these are very exclusive
and give an elegance to the toilet.
The craze for oriental effects has
reached the parasol. and a creamy af-
fair recalls the eastern countries in its
embroidery of Arabic signs These
parachutes have bizarre handles in lac
quer, porcelain and carved ivory. In
deed, many of the latter are graceful
enough to ornament a collectors cab
met. Then there are chiffon, net and
lace parasols without number
Particularly dainty are the fans. with
the new flower ones leading all the rest
They are like great bouquets and scent
ed to carry out the Illusion, the red
rose fan coming nearest to nature.

Arrangement of a Houce For the Summe

"a" HIS is the story of a woman who

country place. The awaking of con-

not half as attractive as a moderately
cheerful cemetery. Indeed. the shroud-

many pleasant way stations in which
one hopes to stop while en- route for
