10; measure fully eight to eight and a
half yards.
Yet with all this abundance of mate
rial there is nothing cumbersome about
these skirts. And as to weight, in
ounces and pounds. they fall far short of
the heavy-as-lead skirtings that were
once considered the only proper fabric
for the walking skirt
In matter of decoration the skirts aAe
certainly growing simpler, and there Is
decided tendency toward the plain, un-
broken lines in many of the richer ia
| brics, especially in velvets and velveteens
The soft silks. chiffons and Crepe de
| Chimes naturally take and need elabora-
/. ton, but the cloths and velvets, when
trimmed at all, depend on neat arrange
ments Of braid or some simple manipula-
tion of the fabric itself, as in bouillonhe
| or gauging or plating, or even bias bands.
This simplicity of skirt trimmings does
not imply a like simplicity in the bodice
| decorations. Quite the contrary, the
plain skirt proves an admirable set-off for
all sorts of dainty elaboration Of the
bodice or coat.
The man-tailored three-quarter-lengtn
fitted or half-ftted coat belongs more
particularly to the walking costume, and
| as such it has certainly high favor. There
is tendency to shorter lengths shown,
and at present the very smartest dressers
are wearing either the redingote length
of the walking skirt-or a z6 or q inch
length, that only covers the hips And
here again may we pause and consider
how tickle indeed are we even in what We
are pone to consider the principles of cor
rect dress. For was it not considered one
OF the tenets of correct dressing that the
| long-ftted coat was only to accompany
the long-trained skirt? But welladayi
Times change and men change, but FASH
ions most of all!
Such changes as are being rung on the
| little bolero; 1t never, or almost never,
has the least bit of blouse or even full
ness now. 1t is made to define the figure,
even when, as is often the case. It falls
| quite free from it at the waistline. The
T, little fitted bolero falling free from the
high girdle decreases the apparent size
Of the waist as by magic, and, now that
the nipped-in waist is the all-desirable.
those who have acquired the straight
| and athletic figure will be glad to call
in the wiles of the little bolero to aid
them in obtaining this new effect.
These little coats are warmly lined
with chamois or tailor's fiannel-one, the
dearest of them all. a maroon broad
cloth, was lined with ermine-so that
they are comfortable for even chill De-
cember days. When fur piece or set
is added. as is often the case, the wearer
is ready to bid defiance to Jack Frost.
For evening and dress wear there is
marked return to favor of the Pierrot
ruche. The very daintiest of these are
of white tulle quilted very fun and
fluffy, with many loops and long ends
of black velvet ribbon fastened with
clusters of tiny flowers Nothing more
becoming can well be imagined or de-
vised, and besides this is an adjunct Of
the costume that almost any woman can

per cent on the security of the sui
tan's note of hand only. provided the
sultan acknowledge Lebaudy as emper-
or of Sahara. Further. Lebaudy prom
ised to do everything in his power
TO keep France out of Moroccan terri
tory. The sultan in turn agreed to
discontinue negotiations for a French
loan. When the sultan came TO the
terms and when Lebaudy had actually
become a MOhammedan. which the
sultan required, Lebaudy grew tired
and threw up the whole arrangement.

Chicago, July A big labor con,

pared and mailed.
I'VE have been told it is not so

what assistance to offer the strikers.
If they need money we can vote it

PERISH FAR OUT AT SEA
ZIONIST THEODOR
HERZL Is NO MORE
Leader of the Movement to Establish
Jewish Republic, has Passed
Away

Vienna, July 4.-Dr. Theodor Herzl
founder of the Zionist movement and
president of the Zionist congress. is
dead.
DR.. Theodor Herzl, who had barely
reached middle age, "A. has been var
| iously described by writer's who were
at once charmed by the rich radiance
of his personality and inspired by the
| intensity of his belief in self. He
was an idealist to- his finger tips. and
yet he succeeded in convincing thous-
ands of his coreligionists that his
dreams were practical and in enlisting
the sympathy and cooperation of the
most exalted perSOnageS in the world.
To HerZel the prophecy OfIsaiah was
no mere poetic wall to be read over
by rabbi or intoned by a cantor at
the week end: And he shall set up
an ensign for the nations and shall as
semble the outcasts of Israel. and
gather together the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of the earth"
This text was the impetus of his
life work.
Through DIR. Herzrs efforts the Jew
ish Colonial Trust, the most remark
able financial movement the world has
ever Witnessed, raised S250,OOO to fur
ther their plans. He believed that his
people were essential to the world.
and he said: Our common history
has suffered a long break, and only
in our own time has an understanding
and a union between the separated
sections of our people become possi-
BILE"
For many years prior to his death
DR. Herzl has lived in Vienna, but he
was a native of Buda-Pesth.
Associated with DR.. Herzl was Dr.
Max Nordau. also a native of Buda-
Pesth, who will succeed to the presi-
dency of the Zionist congress.

Armenian bishops in Persia saying
that Turkish barbarians were mas
sacring thousands of Armenians.' and
humbIy soliciting the United Sgs-Jes

lowing telegram, dated Tauris, Per

1T is announced from a perfectly
reliable source that i'll the vicinity of
Van "a fortified city of Turkish Ar

regulars attacked Armenian travellers

This is the beginning of general
massacre in the province of Van. The

There is no official verification here
of the Chronicles dispatch, but there
have been rumors of trouble in Ar

interest displayed in the outcome of
the so-called reforms promised by the
sultan.

THE AIR CHILLY
When President Roosevelt Arrived at
Oyster Bay for His
Vacation.
BAND BUM, SALUTE FORGOTTEN
TOwnspeOpIe QuarreIing Among Them
selves Left Executive to
Relatives.

| oyster Bay, i. l., July 4.-BetWeen
500 and 1000 of the presidents neigh
bors and friends gathered about Oys
ter Bay railroad station Saturday af
lternoon to welcome him - mis- sum,
mer home on Sycamore Hill. There
was no handshaking. no words of vel
come and no cheering, or demOnstra-
tion of any sort, except the popping
of few giant firecrackers and the
endeavOr of the village band to play
Hail to the Chief"
A space had been roped off under
the station shed and in this opening
was a group of 20 or more of the
presidents relatives, who were the
| first and only persons he shook hands
with or spoke to as he alighted from
the train. On the opposite side of the
station were Mrs. Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt children.
President Hurries Away.
The president, preceded by Secre-
tary Loeb, rushed through the narrow
space and sprang into the carriage
with Mrs. Roosevelt and was driven
away, followed by several carriages
lily and his closest friends.
This describes what took place at
the railroad station. On his way
through the village and along the road
to Sycamore Hill there were a few
demonstrations of cordial welcome. In
many places flags were unfurled from
windows and hOusetOps, groups of cit
liens cheered him as he passed, and
just outside the village 500 school
children lined up alongside the road,
waved flags and cheered.
The chilly reception at the railroad
station was precisely what had been
expected. President Roosevelt had
been informed of the jealousies and
among the townspeople
that had resulted in the upsetting of
all plans for an appropriate reception,
and made the best of it.
When the president appeared the |
band started to play Hail to the |
Chief but just at that instant n crowd |
of energetic and curious women surg |
cd forward, sweeping the members of |
the band off on to the track. The mu- |
sicians all began to play. but while /
the e fiat cornet and one of the |
altos led off all right with Hail to |
the Chief" the trombone and one of !
the bass horns started out with "Auld |
Lang Syne" and the bass drum caught |
the tempo of "A Hot Time In the Old |
Town Tonight"
Forgot the salute.
The arrangement for firing a salute
Of II guns as the presidents train
rolled in got tangled up just as badly
as did the musical program.
Thomas J. Allison, president of the
Roosevelt Campaign club of Oyster
Bay, which was supposed to have
charge of the reception, announced
hat he had named a cannon commit
zee. which failed to serve. and that
he 21-gun salute would be fired in
proper shape. /.
few minutes before the arrival of
he presidents train. someone inuuir-
ed about the saluting gun, and it de-
Ieloped that it was up in Allison's
)arn. and the cannon committee had ,
lot been near it. Then there was
mighty skirmishing for giant fire
,rackers, and the requisite 81 were ,
procured. But only II of them went
III, so the salute was cut short.
