Why She Is Rich

Although a certain Newport woman
has an income of almost a half million
she is noted for her thrift. and her SER
wants say she deducts the price Of
every plate that is broken in her house
from their wages. One of her friends
is an enthusiastic worker for the Stony
Wo,S Sanitarium. The charitable wo-
man went to her rich friend and asked
for q donation for the institution. After
painting a word picture of all the COM
forts the sanitarium brought to the
poor consumptives, the other woman
said: Il do give a great deal TO char
fly. It's a great drain on one" The
charity worker implored for a small
gift. Very WELL" said the thrifty
dame, Il shall send my check" The
check arrived and the other woman was
aghast to see the amount, 1t was for

fisted woman again." was her COM

Touches of Color

Although light silks and linens are
extremely pretty-and never more at
tractive than this season-still dainty
organdies, nets and mousselines in all
their charming varieties make the most
fascinating afternoon costumes for Au-
gust and September weather.
White gowns have proved themselves
so satisfactory that they will ever meet
with approval for summer wear, but
this year touch of bright color is fire.

with yellow Valenciennes lace and with
Il was worn a broad girdle Of gold rib
bon. Short sash ends caught in a cou-
ple of loops and knots finished off the
gown most attractively. This dress
was made with the square cut Dutch
neck, the yoke being of the fine yellow
lace. Between the yoke and the waist
was a narrow band of fine shocking,
below which fell deep bertha cut in
diamond shaped points and edged with
the lace. The sleeves, elbow length,
were shocked for n few inches below
the shoulders and then fell in large
but soft pun to the elbow, where they
were finished off by another band of
shocking above a deep four-pointed

full to the knees, where this part was
finished with a rufiie of yellow lace

roses, the long streamers being of the

Shocking in Again

Shocking is seen on many of the
newest models, and is particularly
pretty as a trimming for light silks and
silk mousselines. as well as pongees,
taffetas and all the heavy silks. A
charmingly simple yellow muslin had
merely a small. square yoke Of lace just
in front, while the rest Of the waist
was trimmed with four bands of
shocking about three inches wide. The
sleeves consisted of four full puffs di-
vded by shocked bands like those on
the waist, above a wide cuff Of lace.
The skirt was shirred about the hips,
falling quite plain and full from there,
finished off above the hem with two
rows of lace laid in diamond shaped
patterns.

Hot Sand Bags

We are all acquainted with the vir-
tues of the hot water bag, but many
persons are not aware OF the fact that
a sand bag is even better, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. The way to pre-
pare It is this:-Get some clean, fine
sand and dry it thoroughly in a kettle
on the stove; make a bag about eight
inches square. of flannel, fiji it with the
dry sand and sew the bag with cotton
or linen cloth. This will prevent the
sand from sitting out and also enable
the person using it to warm it in the
oven or on top of the stove. After once
using this, no further recourse will be
had to the hot water bag.

MOSQUITOES DEFY COLD.
Sign of Good Crops, Says New Jersey
Expert.

Bayonne, N J., Jan. 7.-Mosquitoes of
the regulation Jersey size and mid
winter brand were discovered here this
morning by Patrick w. Donnelly, city
hall engineer.
He was on his way to look after his
fires about o'clock, when the Their
mometer was several degrees below
zero. He had got near the Central rail-
road bridge, at Thirtieth street and
Railroad avenue, when he was sur
prised to hear familiar buzzing, and,
looking up, saw a cloud of mosquitoes,
fat big, and as frolicsome and ready for
a meal as though it were the middle of
August A dozen of the insects follow
ed Donnelly into the city hall and were
caught. During the day they were ex-
hibited to visitors.
1.-THE presence of mosquitoes at this
time of the year is a sure sign that the
crop next summer is going to be no
failure remarked Court Officer Me-
lando who has made a study of mos
quitoes for many years.

GOVERNMENT LOSES CASE.
Railroads Not Obliged to Give Party
Rates to Q. q Troops.

Chicago, Jan. More than 500, 900
worth of claims against the govern
ment for the transportation of troops
and marines are dependent on the de-
cision which Judge Gresscup handed
down yesterday. The court held that
the government could not claim the
privilege OF party rates in the trans
portation of troops and marines, and
that the land grant deductions could
not be applied after the party rate had
been applied. The matter has been in
dispute between the government and
the railroads ever since 1898.
Western roads grant reduced rates to
parties of ten or more when travelling
as theatrical football, baseball or en-
tertainment parties, but the rates are
not open to the public as they are in
eastern territory. In every movement
of troops and marines the government
has insisted on applying the party rates
and then deducting the usual land
grant and bond aids. Many of the
roads refused to accept payment on
this basis, and the Northwestern, Illi-
nois General and st. Paul railroads fin
ally brought suit against the govern
ment on test claim. Judge Kohlsaat
decided in favor of the railroads, and on
appeal the higher court has sustained
him.

VIII Enforce Rules
Reducing Speed of Trains.
Safety Must Not Be Sacrificed to
Swiftness.
RULE DEAD LETTER.
Engineers Have Been Censured
for Being Behind Time.
They Feel Obliged to Run at
Reckless Speed.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. loving to the
numerous wrecks which have lately
been contributed to by excessive speed
the homogeneous of Chicago roads are
seeking to better enforce the rule in
their operating books, which declares
that speed must at all times be sacri-
feed to safety. The rule has been in
nearly all local operating books for sew
eral years. but it is said to have prac-
tieally been a dead letter for some
time. Now the general managers are
calling the attention of their engineers
to the order and are insisting that it
be kept constantly in mind.
Whether warranted or not, the feel
ing has pervaded the ranks of railroad
engineers that lost time must be made
up at all hazards in order to avoid be-
ing censured by the management. 1t is
said that engineers of fast trains take
many chances when behind time and
often run at reckless rate of speed in
spite of rules. One general manag ger
said yesterday:
There is a general n1iSa pprehensio
on the part of the public that railroad
make their schedules, no matter what
the conditions. The contrary is true,
and our constant effort is to make the
men sacrifice speed to safety. Take
such weather as we are having now,
for example. I would not dare to call
one of my engineers in and reprove him
for having brought his train in behind
general manager in the city who would
do so. 1t is true that we inquire re-
gardfng delays, but not for the primary
purpose of censure."

in which the machine flew a little more

DENVER TO NEW ORLEANS.
Rock Island Said to Be Interested in
New Combination Line.

Muskogee. I T., Jan. THE sale of
the Muskogee Southern railroad last
week to the Midland Valley Railroad
company is believed by some to dis
close another Rock Island plan con-
sisting of a transverse railroad line
from Denver to New Orleans. Those
who suggest this say the Rock Island
people are DESTROYS of securing a line
to the Gulf of Mexico, which, with their
feeders throughout the central western
states, will put them in a position to
command much of the Pacific and East
Indies trade.
While it has been officially denied a
number of times, the impression still
remains that the Midland Valley will
ultimately become a part of the Rock
Island system. It is being built large
~ by Philadelphia capitalists, who are
nearly Identified with the party which
built and put in operation the ChoctaW,
Oklahoma & Gulf railroad, which, after
it's construction, fell under the control
of the Rock Island system. The Choe-
taw runs from Ell Reno, o. T., to Mem
phis, Tenn, and forms an excellent
crosscut line through the new country
to eastern and northern connections.

TESTIMONY Is SLIM.
Evidence Before Wyandotte Grand
Jury Not Startling.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. I'M. G.
Jones, formerly clerk of the board of
education, who resigned the place Octo-
Der 26 at the request of the board, was
thu first witness before the Wyandotte
county grand jury yesterday.
Jones made a good witness and was
in the jury room for an hour and forty
minutes. 1t is said he answered all
questions promptly and withheld moth
ing. He told the jury practically what
he had stated in meeting of the board
of education. He is said to have testi-
fed that he had received rebates on in
surance from practically all the insur-
ance agents with whom the board did
business. He said he considered he had
done no wrong, because the board would
have had to pay the same for the insur-
ance anyway, and that if he made the
insurance agents divide their profits
with him it meant no loss to the school
funds.
Jones was also asked to explain some
Of the entries made in the books relating
to the purchase of school sites and the
payment of certain bills for contract
work and for labor. He said he knew
Of no crooked work on the part of any
member of the board of education other
than what he learned from hearSay.
However, he told the jury that two in
surance agents in Kansas City, Kan,
represented two insurance companies
not authorized to do business in Kansas.
Jones places the blame, for all the trou-
=
testimony in this regard is true the
agents are subject to a $500 fine for
every policy written for the unauthor-
lied company.
The only charge against Jones is &C
cepting rebates on insurance policies
placed by the board of education on
public school buildings. For some of
these rebates he signed receipt in his
official capacity as clerk of the board
of education. He told the jury he had
used the money for his own purposes.
Frank Campbell, the member of the
school board from the Sixth ward, who
wa before the jury for more than an
hour yesterday morning, was called to
testify again yesterday afternoon. He
was in the jury room an hour and
twenty minutes He told the jury that
in his opinion money had been used by
contractors in getting favorable terms
in the awarding of contracts for the
construction of school buildings. He
said that on more than one occasion
contracts had been awarded to the
highest instead of the lowest bidder
and that the contractors were allowed
to use most any kind of material,
whether it conformed to the specifica-
lions of the contract or not.
He could tell the jury of no instance
where money had been paid to any
member of the board for such favors.
1t was only a matter of conjecture on
his part.
