noon frocks were made with pointed bodfces
gathered tightly down the front and fash
toned with lace or lawn yoke or vest.
There is every indication that the pointed
bodices will be adopted by smart women.
With a full skirt they are very effective
when made of soft cashmere, that inim-
liable, old-fashioned material which has
never been improved upon and will form
the groundwork for many elaborate home
dresses A gown of rose cashmere Is eX-
tremely smart made with fine box plalts
around the hips and a scalloped trimming
in plain and fancy braid at the base of the
skirt The bodice is cut bolero fashion in
front, with one of the new braid belts, to
which is affixed rounded off basque adorn-
ed with scallops of braid. The long revers
are decorated with a curious painted pat
tern chenllled over. 1t looks like stamped
velvet crossed velvet waistcoat is fea-
ture of this gown. The ceinture is of vel
vet finished with a large bow behind. Gar
net and sold buttons lend their decorative
aid to the creation with most decided chic.
In Crimson Cloth.
Perfectly stunning was a rich crimson
cloth ornamented with bands of caracal,
which threw into relief the rosettes
of crimson velvet with which 1T was
trimmed. The bodice was of the
tightly draped, pointed description SO dear
to the heart of La Mode.
The new fur things are really charming,
and these garments will soon be welcome
adjuncts of dress, for even now the even
ings are getting chilly, and a more i'm
portant reason for considering them is that
early in the season one has wide selec-
ton, which later is apt to be restricted.
There is riot of pelts often used on the
same garment, and added to these are
strappings of leather, though the latter ma
terial is employed when only a single fur
is used in the makeup. In Sesame and
Lilies Ruskin says. Every man who hon
estly exerts himself may still provide him
self and his family with good shoes, good
gloves and stout leather bindings for his

strapped with kid at the wrist, while the

The Dragon in America.

One of the grave questions that the
next congress will have to meet is the
new treaty arrangements with the Chi
nese government, as the period Of the
exclusion act terminates in December
The powerful Chinese Six Companies
is already at work in the interests of
its vastly lucrative traffic in Chinese
labor, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the same lavish expenditure
of wealth will be made during the fall
that has marked the policy Of this
powerful and dangerous body in past
years. In view of this fact, DR.. Charles
Frederick Holders brilliant, exhaustive
and fascinating historical sketch Of the
Chinese Six Companies, entitled "The
Dragon in America" which occupies
the place Of honor In "The Arena" for
August will command general atten-
tion, and to citizens of California, Or
egon and Washington it will occasion
particular satisfaction. Hitherto there
has been much heated controversy on
the Chinese question, but seldom If
ever has the true inwardness of this
issue been so ably and so judicially
presented as has been done by DR..
Holder in this remarkable paper. Ger
tainly never before has the un-Ameri-
can character of the traffic in Chinese
labor been so clearly pointed out.
"The Arena" has again taken the
foremost place among the reviews Of
opinion which discuss live questions
ably and in conformity with the prIn-
ciples Of democratic institutions. At
no time in its history has it been
stronger or more representative of the
best progressive and liberal thought Of
the hour than at the present time.

TO REPORT ON BEEF INDUSTRY
importers Now Collecting Information
Demanded by Congress.

Washington, Aug. A description
of conditions in the stock yards at Chi
cago during the strike now in prog
ress there is expected to form an in
teresting feature of the reports Of the
beef industry. which will be made by
the president to congress in response
to the Martin resolution passed at the
last session. Fifteen or 20 inspectors
are in the field under the direction OF
the department of commerce and labor,
collecting information required by the
terms Of the resolution. Their labors
have taken them over great portion
Of the country and their inquiries have
covered every branch Of the beef in
dustry. This embraces the herding
and ranching of the cattle on the plains,
their slaughter and the shipment Of
the dressed products. The inspectors
have been engaged at this work since
early in April and reports from some
Of them are daily expected at the de-
partment. The inspection has been
conducted under the immediate super
vision of James r. Garfield, the COM
missioner of the bureau Of corpora
tions of the department Of commerce
and labor Mr.. Garfield has taken a
personal hand in some features Of the
investigation. Such portions Of the
report as bear on the strike now in
progress at Chicago, 1t is said, are in
cidental to the general line Of inquiry.

George III was no great turf-lover.
and was content with an annual state
visit to Ascot: but his father. Fred
erick Prince of Wales. appears to have
been an ardent lover Of races. Once
he was so carried away by his excite
ment that he threw a bottle at win
ner just as it was passing the post at
Ascot.
The fourth George was, as all the
world knows. an enthusiastic horse
lover, and there were few races at
which he was not a conspicuous fig
ure. Sometimes he would travel to
the course in great state; but at others,
in his more irresponsible days, he low
ed nothing better than to put the royal
postillions in the coach, and mounting
the near-leader himself, with a boon
companion on the near-wheeler, drive
lat breakneck speed, exchanging chaff
with every whip he passed on the
road.
King William " had at least one
unpleasant experience on racecourse.
Greville, in his Memoirs writing un-
der date June. 1882, says: "The event
of the races was the king having his
head knocked with stone. 1t made
very little sensation on the spot, for
he was not hurt, and the fellow was
a miserable-looking ragamuffin. 1t,
however, produced a great burst OF
loyalty in both houses. and their ma
jesties were loudly cheered at Ascot"

The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1904-03-09

Old writer's in mentioning birch trees
seldom failed to say solemnly that they
we're useful to grow branches with
which to give boys furnishings. Turner
regards the supply of flexible, pendent
branches" for purposes Of punishment
as the chief merit of the tree. Coles
also based his estimate of the birch
chiefly on its use in the supply of rods
as Instruments of punishment, for he
writes: "The civil uses whereunto the
birch serveth are many, as for the pun
ishment of children, both at home and
at school: for it hath an admirable in
fuence upon them to quiet them when
they are out of order, and therefore
some call it makepeace." In ancient
Rome the fasces of the lictors, with
which they cleared the way for magis-
trates, were formed with rods of birch,
and their influence was sufficient to in
sure a rapid dispersion of men assem-
bled where they would impede the
passage of the administrators of the
law. From that time to within a COM
paratively recent period the birchen
rod was regarded as one of the most
important deterrents of Juvenile de-
praYity.
