exercises all her wiles to convince
him that youth is delusion, and that

looks with favor upon the arrange

K1sHINEFF RIOTERS IN JAIL.
Twenty-ssven Sentenced and Forty
Five Others Are Awaiting Trial.

A special cable dispatch to the New York
Sun from Berlin yesterday says: Mrs. r.
Fl. Savage, who went to Kishineff to visit
her daughter, whose husband is the local
marshal of nobility, now writes to a Bres-
lau newspaper that twenty-seven Of the
rioters have been condemned to penal
servitude for terms varying from two
months to, year.
Forty-five others are awaiting trial. Mrs.
Sayase's daughter hid about forty fugitives
wants begged that the refugees be turned
out, lest the mob attack the house.
Mrs Savage says that nobody in Kishinen
doubts that the massacre was directed from
ST. Petersburg. The governors hands were
tied and he could do nothing. Immediate
ly after the massacre, of which he was an
unwilling spectator, Gov. Won Raaben has
tened to st. Petersburg and asked an audi
ence of the car. Although as governor of
Kishineff he had the right of audience on
important occasions, he did not succeed in
reaching his majesty.
Mrs. Savage confirms the reports that the
massacre could have been easily prevented.
She says that one officer and three soldiers
kept thirty or forty of the rioters back.
1t is the general opinion in KishineR that
the government hopes by encouraging per-
'secution of the Jews to divert attention
from nihilism and socialism.
The plan, however. will not succeed.

Flower Fad in Apparel.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
The flower fad Of this season is one Of the
feminine fripperies which follow along in
the wake of the athletic girl The more
women take to outdoor sports and so-called
mannish things the more they accentuate
the feminine sides Of their natures by
pretty and dainty garments of all kinds.
There was never time when women
amused themselves SO much in the open
air and never time when they were more
dainty in dress. Underwear Is a dream of
f1neness and delicacy and the garments for
outside wear are marvels of chiffons and
fine muslin and lace. Embroidery Is at
premium. or it might rather be said that
1t Is below par, for there has been so great
a demand for it that the market Is almost
overstocked. Never could such pretty
things in embroidery be bought for so lit.
tie money.
And many of the designs are In flowers,
and there are flowers to De found In every
thing. There is no article of wearing ap-
parel in which they do not appear. A wo-
a particular flower, which will give the
keynote to her costume. The flowers may
be of the ordinary milliners kind, or they
may be embroidered, or they may be of
both kinds. There may be gown Of some
thin material with similar flowers in the
design or embroidered upon it. The parasol
shows the flowers woven in the silk or
hand painted. A sash may repeat the flow
ers and. as in the parasol, they are In the
design Of the silk or painted. Silk gloves
the backs, and silk hosiery has the flowers
repeated In embroidery or inset in lace.
Handkerchfefs, again, have flowers repro
duced in embroidery, and the woman who

Treatment for Whooping Cough.
the New York Medical Record.

From the New York Medical Record.
Jacob Sobel gives the results Of his own
experience with the paroxysms Of whooping
cough treated by pulling the lower jaw
downward and forward Pulling the lower
jaw downward and forward controls the
paroxysms Of whooping cough in most in.
stances and most Of the time. The method
Is usually more successful in older chill
dren than in younger ones and infants. In
cases without a whoop the exploratory
spasm with its asphyxia is generally over
come. and in those with a whoop the latter
Is prevented. 1t is as successful as any
single drug, or even more so. Mothers
should be instructed in its use. so that at.
tacks. especially at night, might be arrest
ed. The manipulation Is harmless and pain
less. Its only standardization Is the pres
ence of food in the mouth or oesophagus
Patients thus treated are less likely to
suffer from complications and sequelae than
those treated only incidentally. It is ad-
visable to try this method in other spas
modic coughs and laryngeal spasms.

STREET LAMPS BROKEN.
Substance Of Complaint Made to the
Police Department.

Mr.. Thomas j. Fisher. inspector of cleo
trio lighting recently complained to the po-
lice that during two days in July no less
than forty lantern glasses were broken on
the 14th street, road between the Bright
wood Driving Park and the city. Mr..
Fisher stated that the Iamplighter reported
the matter to the Tenth precinct station
and was Informed there was no one that
could be detailed to look after the lamps.
This breaking of the lamps happens every
year. 1t IS stated Last year on complaint
being made to the police department. sew
eral arrests followed. Mr.. Fisher expressed
the hope that Major Sylvester might be
able to take steps again to put an end to
the damage and annoyance.
Major Sylvester referred the complaint to
Lieut. henney of the Tenth precinct with
instructions to have a mounted officer give
special attention to this roadway. Ma jor
While he was in the precinct few evenings
before. he observed mounted officer lean
ing against fence at Brightwood. After
wards continued Major Sylvester Il
passed along the Brightwood road and am
OF the opinion that it needed surveillance"
Sergeant Slattery, acting lieutenant of
the precinct. has submitted report of the
matter In which he states that Bicycle
Pr1vates Barrett and Van Horn arrested
four small boys for breaking the forty
glasses in the lamps. One of the boys for
feited 50 collateral and the other three were
discharged In the juvenile court Sergeant
Siattery says that out of a section of three
mounted men going on duty at pm, one
must be assigned to Washington Heights
ana 1t frequently happens that another Is
either on leave or sick; consequently the
other one has to patrol the entire county
section of the precinct and cannot give the
desired attention to 18th street road. With
regard to the officer leaning against the
fence, Sergeant slattery says:
1t appears Private Bryarly had been do
ing considerable riding on the evening In
question. and arriving at Brightwood dis
mounted just ahead of the major. and for
his leaning against the fence. particularly
In the presence of the major and supertn-
tendent, l deemed 1t my duty to admonish

forwarded to the Commissioners.
