VerSity of effect.
One of the oldest of the new negligees
has for its decoration rows of very wide an
tique lace. The foundation of the dainty
trifie is figured chiffon, against which the
yellow lace shows effectively. The sacque
reaches just to the waist line and the
VIDE lace is put on straight around the bot
tom of the little garment, with a prin ef-
Iect oddiy but charmngly at variance with
the 1rlVollty OF the negligee itself The
sleeves are edged with two rows of the wide

A pale blue dressing gown which reaches

into sweeping train. is fashioned from
pale blue silk puffed and shirred and en-

Is, of course. higher priced than its shorter
sisters and reaches an altitude somewhere
above the fifty-dollar mark.

have set your mind. From the plain little
lawn affair." whose only ornamentation is
yard or two of beading and perhaps an un-
assuming little two or three-inch ruff1e. to
the billowy affair of exquisite chiffon, froth-
ing with lace. brimming over with accordion
plaits and other ct ceteras. there is no style
of negligee which you may not find in the
comprehensive sections of the department
stores.
If the dressing jacket for which your sou.

probably be better satisfied if instead of
looking for it in the ready-to-wear assort-

Of ready-to-wear negligees cannot be said
to be altogether satisfying. Usually the
material is so coarse to be offenseive to
the taste OF the average woman and the cut
of the garment does not permit it to qualify
either as thing of beauty or joy forever.
The simpler forms of the dressing jacket
are easy even to the inexperienced seam
stress. and the two three dollars asked
for the ready-to-wear Sacque may be much
more satisfactorily invested in home
made affair.
But in the more expensive negligees the
woman who buys gets her moneys worth.
The silks and ribbons and laces of which
they are fashioned are always of good quail
ity and there is an infinite amount of elabo-
ration upon them which make one wonder
how on earth the manufacturers can get
them UP for the pricemarks.
Rainbow silk. which holds all the soft but
vivid tints of the bow in the sky forms the

RUSSIAN POLICE
STAND AMAZED
Other High Officials Said 20 Be
Selected For Slaughter.
CAR ALONE is EXCEPTED
Assassin Declares He is Not Sorry
for His Deed, ms He Was Actu-
ated by humanitarian
Motives.

st. Petersburg, July 30.-The police
have not yet established the identity
of the assassin of M. Won Plehve, or of
his accomplices, though it has been as
%certained that the former is a little
Russian, which accounts for his notice
able accent. The accomplish is a Jew.
1t has developed that the police, for
some time past, have been aware that
a plot was maturing against the car,
and had advised one of the ministers
hat a party of Is anarchists had ar
rived in st. Petersburg. Several ar
rests were actually made several days
before the assassination of the minis
ter of the interior, and the police had
the assassin's house marked and a
trap set for his arrest on the night Of
July IA, but he did not return home.
The bomb which the accomplice
dropped in the canal after the aSsa
sinatiOn has been recovered by the pO-
lice. 1t is foreign made, though it is
believed to have been loaded in St.
Petersburg. 1t is small and melon
shaped, and is believed to be fully as
powerful as the one that killed Won
Plehve.
The requiem service at NJ. Won
The house was beautifully decorated
with flowers. Nine. Won. Phleve and
her son were present at the ceremony,
as also were many officers and diplo-
mats. A nun in the habit of her order
knelt before the coffin, informing pray
ers for the dead. These prayers will
be continued without interruption until
after the burial.
The car vas not present at the
requiem Friday night. but he will at
tend the funeral Sunday afternoon.
The assassin was examined by ar
investigating magistrate Friday, and
refused TO make any statement.
The post-mortem examination of the
remains of Won Plehve shows hat his
death was instantaneous.
The assassin, Lego, alias Porozeff
carefully planned the crime. He says
he was animated by humanitarian mo
tives, and does not express the slight
est regret.
An account of the tragedy says that
the assassin attempted to commit sui
eide by shooting. He had a revolver
in his hand when seized.
The operation on him was SO sue
cessful that he is expected to recover
in three weeks.
The murderer is still in the hospital.
He is a handsome man of about q
years, with blond, regular features.

THE Won PLEHVE ASSASSIN
The st. Petersburg Police Arc are
fully Guarding the
of Their riSOne

St. Petersburg, July 30.-The name
of the assassin of Interior Minister
Won Plehve is given by the Bourse
Gazette as Prozef, but this is not con
firmed by the police, who, if satisfied
that they have established the identity
or even the nationality of the MUIR
derer, are carefully guarding the facts,
perhaps to throw his accomplices off
the scent. The general public is dis
posed to regard the crime as intimate
ly connected with the f~ar-reaching ter
rorist plot revealed last summer by
the arrest of Gerschunin, the Russian
revolutionary agitator, at Kieff, where
he had gone to organize an attempt
on the emperor's life, at Sarof, during
the ceremonies incident to the canon
ization of st. Seraphim.
Gerschunin was captured, and he
and two others, one Of whom was a
woman, were tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to death, but the emperor, with
Won Plehve's acq%uiescence, committed
the sentences to Is years imprison-
ment. Gerschunin Is now serving his
sentence in Sc~husselburg prison.

Cripple Creek, Col, July 29.-Sheritf
Edward Bell will not guarantee pro-
lection to any person h has been
driven from this district because of his
alliance or sympathy with the Western
Federation of Miners. He made this
plain when he received a message from
Patrick Carvel, one of the hundreds
who were deported after the Indepen-
dence depot dynamite outrage. Carvel
is now at Colorado City, and notified
Sheriff Bell that he wished to return to
the district and resume his residence
here, and would do so if the authori-
ties would guarantee to protect him
from violence.
Sheriff Bell not only informed Car
vel that he would not guarantee to
protect him from harm, but strongly
advised him never to return to the dis
trict. At the same time Sheriff Bell
observed that 1t would be discreet for
each and every man who had been de-
ported to remain away from the dis
trict, as he did not think he had a
sufficient number Of deputies to pro-
tect them.

st. Louis, July 30.-The Roosevelt
boys, Theodore, Jr., Kermit and

RUSSIAN PROTEST
AGAINST BRITAIN
The Latter Charged With Permit
ting Shipment of Contraband.
RUSSIANS WERE WATCHING
Will Have II Bill of Damages That
May Offset Indemnities Claimed
For the Seizure of British
Steamers.

London, July 30.-Russia has filed
a formal protest at the foreign office
against British shipments of contra
band to Japan.
The Russian government, since the
beginning of the war, has carefully
watched the manufacture of goods in
tended for the use of the Japanese
government, and as soon as it was
established that such goods were about
to be shipped to a hostile destination
the facts were officially communicated
to the British government, with the
request that measures be taken to put
a stop to it. 1t is further asserted
that in many cases the government has
not taken action, and it is understood
that when the war ends Russia pro-
poses to present a bill for damages to
the British government which will Off
set the indemnities claimed for the
seizure of British steamers.
1t is also learned that Russia does
not intend to hasten the settlement OF
the question of the right Of vessels OF
the volunteer fleet to pass the Darda-
nelles, since if negotiations on the
subject were conducted at this time,
as desired by Great Britain, Russia
might be forced by the existing situa-
ton to grant concessions she would
afterward regret.

thousand, three hundred and nineteen
cards have been issued to miners of
the Cripple Creek district by the Mine
Owners association. and 500 applica.
tons are still on file. OF the total
number issued to date, more than two
thousand one hundred have been in
exchange for cards surrendered by
former members of Western Fedora
ton of Miners, who have renowned
allegiance to the organization. Never
have more than $500 miners been an
ployed in the Cripple Creek mines at
one time, and then only when all the
larger mines were working a night
shift, and at no time has the fedora

NAVIGATION BUREAU CHIEF
Secretary Morton Discusses With
the President n I. Appointment of
Admiral TaylOr's Successor.

Washington, July 30.-Secretary
Morton took up briefly with the presi-
dent at the cabinet meeting Friday
the subject of the appointment of a
chief of the bureau of navigation OF
the navy department to succeed Rear
Admiral Taylor.
The appointment may go to either
Rear-Admiral Robley d. Evans or
Capt. Davis, although other officers
are mentioned favorably.
Conditions of the treasury, as re-
CARDS the working balance in the de-
partment were considered with the
president by Secretary Shaw. Thus
far, during July, the expenditures OF
the government have exceeded the re-
ceipts by about 500, 00o, 900. AS a re-
suit, the working balance of the treas
ury has fallen below 100000, 900. This
fact has suggested the possibility of
making a call on national bank deposit
tories for a part of the deposits of the
government in their vaults. Secretary
Shaw is convinced, however that no
call will be necessary, perhaps for a
considerable time, and SO informed
the president.

HISTORIC RELIC AT THE FAIR
Cut'Glass Chandelier, Gift of Marie
Antoinette to Lafayette.
Were by Him Presented to First In
fantry Company, of Providence,
ON His Visit to America.

st. Louis, July 30.-Among the
collection of beautiful and his
toric articles that adorn the Rhode
Island building are a pair of cut glass
chandeliers that were the gift of Marie
Antoinette to Lafayette, and by him
presented to the First infantry COM
pany of Providence upon his visit to
this country in. 1926.
This ancient and honorable" mill
tary organization, passing through
many vicissitudes, neglected these his
toric relics, and they were consigned
to an old bushel basket and placed in
one of the store rooms Of the armory.
Here they lay for years, their spanghd
prisms detached, and the condition al
together dilapidated.
The Rhode Island commission, hear
ing of the neglect of these valuable
chandeliers, arranged for their recov-
cry, and men were set to work to rem
ovate and restore them to their former
splendor. Although the ornaments
had been neglected, it was found that
but few of the many prisms of cut
glass were missing, and it was a sim
pie matter to restore them to their
places.
These chandeliers were first made
for candles, afterwards for gas, and
now they glow with electricity. They
originally hung in the little TianOn,
where Marie Antoinette, wearied by
the exactions of the court, fled for
recreation, and where in the dress OF
a s~hepherdess she rolled a hoop,
jumped rope, and otherwise deportd
herself as a child.
Lafayette, who withstood the troub-
ulous times of the French revolution,
retaining the favor of Napoleon, and
at the same time his democratic ideas,
was a favOrite of Marie Antoinette,
and these chandeliers were presented
to him as a mark of this favor.
