Wearing Jewels.

Don't wear rubies, emeralds and
sapphires with any shade Of red. They
are not for the maid or matron with
Titan hued tresses or with hair that
is frankly red. Don't be afraid of
pearls. OF all precious stones they are
the best to soften the face. Another
equally becoming stone Is the opal.
Unfortunately, pearls are tears" and
opals are bad luck-to those of super
Stitious minds.

FRENCH CELEBRATION.
National Holiday Had Zine Weather
 for Exercises


 Paris, July 14.-The French national holiday was enthusia stically celebrated to-day in brilliant weather. The main feature was the review of the garrison of Paris. The troops assembled at Longchamps at an early hour before the heat became oppressive. Many spectators witnessed the arrival of the soldiers, cheering the favorite corps as they reached the grounds. General Andre, minister of war, accompanied by a brilliant staff and the foreign mill itary attaches, soon followed. At 9 o'clock an artillery salute announced the arrival of President Loubet, who was accompanied by Premier Combes and other cabinet ministers and the presidents of the senate and chamber of deputies, whom General Andre and the military governor of Paris and their staffs escorted to the reviewing stand. The review ended with the us- ual distribution of decorations
 A novel incident of the review was the appearance of Santos Dumont in an airship over Longchamps. He sa- luted the president with three strident blasts from the whistle of his motor and with saIvo of revolver shots.

AMOUNTS PAID STRIKERS
Central Labor Union Having Lists Pre-
 pared of Money Received.

The Central Labor union is having lists prepared, which they will send to every union in the city. showing the amount of money which has been con- tr1buted to the strikers fund, and also the amount which has been paid out. The list has been carefully prepared and shows remarkable executive ability upon the part of President John Daly and Secretary A. B. Cross and Vice President James F. Donahue of the Central Labor union. 1t is a gigantic document, but it is well done. It will show how much each union has con- Hfbuted to the fund, the amount of each contribution and the day on which 1t was given. It will also contain list of private contributions and of the amounts contributed by the national union of trolleymen. In addition to stating the amount of money 1t will also show list of the disbursements, how much each member of the trolley mems union has received and during what weeks received, what has been paid to the lawyers who were engaged in the strikers trial. and all other ex- penses. As stated above, the lists are rather bulky and show careful compila- ton. They have entailed much work upon the officers of the Central Labor union, but they have done 1t in well nigh perfect order.
 1t has been stated at various times that the striking 1inemen received no support from the Central Labor union. This is not so, for the lists will show that they did receive financial as well as moral support, and some of them received money up to at least two weeks ago.
 The lists contain the total receipts and expenditures for twenty four weeks of the strike. They have been compiled in order that every member of every union in the city may know what was done with the money which they contributed.

MRS PLATES TROUBLES
Boarded Strike Breakers Couldn't Pay
 Rent, She Was Evicted.

Rent, She Was Evicted.
 Mrs E. Platt, who gained some pub Iicity some time ago through boarding number of the strike breakers, found herself in trouble again this forenoon on their account. When the strike breakers left here to enjoy the chance of getting their heads broken in the Bridgeport strike, Mrs Platt's iboarders went with them. Her house was consequently empty and she was far worse off than before, for no one would risk living under her roof. One of the consequences was that when rent day came along she was unable to see her landlord with a pleasant face and this morning she was evicted by Sheriff Rigney from her house, 49 Field street, whither she moved after the attack on her house on West Main. She could get no one to move her furnd- ture off the sidewalk no eXpresSman to cart it away until this afternoon when Fred Hotchkiss undertook the job in the storm. It is said there was shoot ing in the house last night, and Sheriff Rigney says there is broken glass and a hole in the rear door to prove that there was. But Mrs Platt denies this. It is said, however, that the shooting was done by colored man who was chased as far as the gas works apd there his tracks were lost

The Holy Father is Feeling Much Better and Has
 no DeIirum Whatever
HE HAD INTERVIEW WITH SEVERAL CARDINALS
Gave Instructions About His Property and Other Maers-He Also Had Short Talk With Cardinal RampoaLater Was Given the Fran cscau Benedcion by Cardinal Wives Tuto Member of the Capuchin Order

The doctors consider the catastrophe near. It is imminent if it is to take place through cardiac paralysis or is further off if it is to come through cerebral anemia, which is the cause or the present delirium.
 Rome, July 14.-2:15 p. m.-The pope's condition to-day developed new features which the doctors regarded as the most alarming since his illness be-. gan. Their judgment was based upon the patients brief, but frequently Iy recurring spells of delirfum. Yes terday's hallucination was not consid- cred of the same character, that de prostration. To-day's alterations how disease had advanced beyond the nerves and had affected the brain.
 During the periods of delirium the patients mind wandered and he nut tered incoherently He insisted that shadows were fitting about the room. In his lucid moments, the pope for the first time, showed as complete re- alization of the gravity of his condi- tion. He asked for the Franciscan benediction which was given by Car dinal Wives v Tuto. He especially asked to see Cardinal Rampolla to whom he gave what it was thought might be his final word. The increas- ing gravity of the situation becoming generally known, the vatican was be seiged during the morning by anxious visitors, comprising practically all of the leading figures in the ecclesiastical and diplomatic world of Rome.
 Towards noon no marked change was reported, but Dr Lapponi made brief visit to his sick daughter. This led to the belief that the doctors did not expect immediate dissolution.
 p. m.-The revival of the pope has been maintained. There has been no recurrence of the ldelirium.
 Washington, July 14.-Mgr Fa1conio, the papal delegate, received cable gram from Cardinal RampolIa today saying the condition of the pope con- tinues grave.
 Berlin, July 14.-The imminent death of the pope causes general regret throughout Germany and sincere sor- row among the Catholic population. Leo XIII has maintained close re1a- tions with German politics. He has exercised power over the clerical party, directing a closer alliance with the gov ernment, reconciIing differences and in .creasing the party's influence upon pub lie policy Officials frankly say that Leo XIII has been one of the best popes ever known, so far as his atti- tude toward Germany is concerned. He always showed comprehension of Ger man affairs, smoothed out difficulties between the center party and the gov ernment, even exerting pressure upon the clerical party to carry measures.
