business of fitting corsets endeavor TO fol
low as closely possible the lines or the
natural figure. There is nothing of the pr1n-
ciple that corset makers and filters once
went upon, that women of all figures should
be thrust into corsets of one shape. IN
stead the needs of each figure are consld-
cred and where it wants a little assisting
IL is assisted. Comfort is first OF all In
the cult of the new corset-htter and the I'M
possibility of grace and beauty without
ease is recognized. After the corset is mt

should have were her figure without de-
ficiencies. All the pads used by the expert
cOrsetiere are placed within the corset SO
that they are unperceived when the wear

ion that might be well followed by the
woman who purchases and hts her own

Madame, the corsetiere, has more to say
on the subject of beauty than concerns cor
sets alone. 1t is her idea that woman
who leaves anything undone that will make
her more attractive makes a decided blum
der "And il isn't only the help of outside
things that will serve to make her attract
ive-it is her own intelligent use of her
good points. Many a fine figure is marred
by an unconsidered carriage; and the effect
of a graceful figure In well-htting corset
is often utterly ruined by the way the
woman throws on her clothes-just anyway,
so she gets them on" says madame.
In the corset sections of the department
stores a variety of aids to beauty are
shown, and the woman who prefers to select
her own additions to her anatomy may find
a number of them, some of them as dainty
and as worthy of adoption as those shown
by the corsetieres. Others, however, are
rather too bulky TO appeal to as alto
gether available.
OF complexion aids there are no end.
There are things which will clean the skin
without the aid of soap and water; there
are foods which will plump out the cheeks;
there are powders which will make the
complexion soft and rosy; liquid powders
which will make one as fair as she could
and preparations without end The seeker
after beauty will be able to find il, to some
extent at least, in the wealth of beauty
aids and beauty specialists that the town
offers.

What No song for January,

The White City.

The attendance at the White City this
 week, caused by the issuing of a 25-cent combination ticket admitting visitors to the entrance and all the main attrac- tiOns at one-half price, has been larger than any other week during the season. This ticket scheme will remain in effect until Sunday night. when the park closes. The free open. air acts are this week of unusual strength and are un-
 doubtedly attracting a great many peo- Iple because of their sensational charac-
 ter. The terrible slide for life by Cross key, whose hands and legs are still in bandages from his accident on the first might; a daredevil fire dive into a burning tank is sensational; the Zoel- Hers, man and woman acrobats, and Caroline Kenner, each of whom per forms twice daily, complete the bill. The dancing pavilion is. of course, free, as well as the Bump-the-Bumps and Ithe geological section, the monkeys in
 which are being sold preparatory to closing the park.

PoIi,s Thenter.

The lively comedy and delightful nov city of the show here this week makes it the talk of the town. 1t is a bright, snappy presentation of the latest in vaudeville. Best show in town," is the general verdict of the patrons.
 Carleton Macy and Edna Maude Hall in the headline are delightful with "A Timely Awakening.'' The comedy is rich and the sketch has proved a win ner. r
 The Watermelon Trust are creating no. end of excitement with their spe- eialty act, Coates and Grundy being leaders in the song and dance work, and are of the best variety.
 Rosaire and Doretto with eccentric comedy work, have the house by storm when they appear.
 German and West have sketch, "The Special Meeting;" Nellie Florede has a number of good song hits; Alexander and Kerr, with their little speciality, which requires some special scenery and electrical effects, entitled "The Church Across the Way" are genuine favorites.
 Smith and Campbell, with their rapid- fire conversation, are one of the, hits of the bill and the electrograph with views of a comedy nature, as we'll as a trip to Ireland and England, closes the show.

At the New Haven Theater.
 1.-THE FATAL WEDDING"

Commencing tonight and during
 the remainder of this week, the patrons of the New Haven theater will have
 pleasant surprise in store for them,
 when the big New York me1odrama,
 'The Fatal Wedding" will enter for
 weeks run. The plot is powerful one, and deals with the adventures of
 a scheming woman, who, assisted by a
 male accomplice, designs the ruin of a
 happy family, and the separation of a wife from husband and children, in or- der that she can contract a marriage with the husband, and thereby gain his fortune. She is prevented from doing this, however, by the timely interfer- | ence 1.-two characters, a Frenchman
 and an Irish servant woman, who
 intheir respective parts make no end of
 amusement for the audience. An un-
 usually strong cast will interpret the
 play, and the scenic effects are the
 most realistic ever attempted in a melo- drama. One scene in particular, that of the famous Palisades at night, show ing the counterfeiters den, gives a great effect, and with the many re- volving scenes go to rrake up as strong a scenic production " has yet been
 witnessed in this clt,. The company is headed by Julia Ralph and Nestor
 Lennon. A special feature will be Ger
 trude Haynes and her choir celestial.

\ r54 E t-5 g 7 j#l 3 E. fg
 The attraction at the New Haven the ter Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week will be M ". Taylor's latest record breaking melodramatic triumph, Why He Divorced Her." and
 all indications point to a tremendous
 business of this attraction. It appears
 as though public interest in modern
 drama has never yet been aroused to
 such an extent as in the case of the forthcoming production of this widely discussed play. MT Will c. Murphy, the author, is also responsible for that reigning success, "Why Women Sin and Judging from all reports concern ing. 'Wty He Divorced Her." it is but putting it mildly to say he has excelled himself in this, his latest and most pre- tentious effort, Never in theatrical his- tory has play aroused such enthusi- asn or received the attention of the press as has this. In his play, MT. Murphy has selected for his theme and story actual occurrences in daily life, one of which is the sensational violet bride" episode, which startled society in both hemispheres, and filled news papers with startling matter for several weeks. Manager Taylor's production is
 a most complte and elaborate one, and
 the acting company far superior to the 1 average in this style of production. Matinee Wednesday. Seats now on sale Prices, 15c., 20c,, 25c., 30c., soc. @

YEsTEEDAT,s STOCK MARKET
| Advocates for Higher Prices Meet Less Encouragement.

New York, Sept. 1.-The advocates of higher prices for stocks met less en- encouragement from the action of to-
 days market than that of yesterday. There was little news to ccount for the reaction. The volume of dealings was well up to that Of yesterday. but the buying or selling from outside
 sourOces and through commission
 houses, was little in evidence at any time current period of activity. The
 conclusion was general that the deal-
 ings are largely those of speculators or
 of room traders. In view of yesterdays wide advance in the Pacifcs and the subsequent public announcement of hopeful views of prospects for values from an official quarter connected region affected, some of the specula- tors evidently feared that the buying movement had not concluded. The
 pressure to take profits in the Pacifics,
 in consequence, was quite urgent. The
 opening prices for them were the high est of the day. Even the local trac-
 tions, which fade buoyant advances on 1 the compromise of the labor dispute
 encountered realizing profits. In the
 railroad list offers to contest the reac- tion were rather intellectual. In sec- tion of the industrial list, however, : considerable degree of strength devel- oped and served as partial offset to the heaYiness in the railroad list. The l iron and steel stocks were most con- l spieuous in this movement, but other metal stocks and also the railroad
 equipment companies which make a 1 large use of iron materials were affect ed by sympathy. It was urged that 1 the agreement of the pools in steel products to reduce prices had done
 away with 6 danger of an open market and harmful competition. Reports
 were also. current. os some large orders l for railroad construction and of euuop-
 ment were awaiting the reduced prices
 of steel products. These conflicting in- fluences kept prices moving irregularly
 all day. The reaction was in force at
 the cldsoing, which was heavy. An ap- preciably figrmer tone was evident
 beth for call and time loans as a conse-
 qrence of the decline in the banking
 surplus and the increasing demand for
 monoey in connection with the stock
 market speculation. Some attention
 also was paid to reports of corn crop

Interest in Blanche Walsh's appear ance at the Hyperion theater Saturday, matinee and evening, is very keen. On the one hand, there is an enthusiastic desire to see Miss Walsh, who has SCOT ed the biggest personal dramatic trt- unph recorded in years, and, on the other, there is a lively curiosity to see the play itself, which is regarded as one of a sensational nature because of it's uncompromising attitude toward cer- tain modern social conditions. The ! story of the play concerns the fatality which overtakes a man and a woman who, through sexual desire on the one side and absorbing love and ignorance on tn eother, break the moral law laid down for the welfare of society. In other words, it declares that the excuse made by the first man for his fall is cowardly, that men must be subject to as great a penalty for sexular crime as is imposed upon women. By which it may be seen it is not a play which will appeal to those who seek trivial amuse-
 nent, but play which will make one think. It will be presented here with a -CoIllpdlIy anu Ill6 scenic production as given during it's four months run at the Victoria thea- ter. New York. Seats now on,sale.
 As he has done so many times before, Mr. Rice has discovered a young actor whom he is confident will create a tre- mendous success when he is seen tSre, and duplicate it in New York Whel he makes his bow with the "Mr. Wix of Wickham' company production, which MT. Rice will offer at the Hyperion the ater, beginning Monday, September F, < for three nights and matinee. This { young mans name is Julian Dalton El- tirge, and he is considered to be the best female impersonator who has ever been seen on the stage. He is a Boston man of breeding and wealth. He has only been on the stage as an amateur < in Boston productions. MT. Rice saw ! him for one of thesee, and has for a Z long time been trying to induce him to . act on the professional stage.

Unlike many meIs who try to irnpersonate women MT.

W. G. Brown, Formerly of this
Borough Riding on Cars
To be Buried Here.

The body of W. @. Brown, Jr., the
seventeen-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
". g. Brown, ST., of Elizabeth, will
be brought to this borough for burial
on the 9:27 train Tuesday morning.
Funeral services will be held at the
house, No. 34S Livingston avenue,
near Elizabeth avenue, tonight at s
o'clock. All friends from this her-
ough are invited to attend. &
William G. Brown, Jr, was XII led
by a freight tr in, ut Elizabeth, neat
tue station, and not far from his
home, Saturday night. He had left
home n few minutes before that to 70
with four other young fellows to at
tend the theatre in Elizabeth. but had
told n of the boys he wouldn't go.
as he did not feel very well. He had
left his companion, who stood on one
side of the track, while he stood the
other side and the next time he was
seen he was sitting npon the top of a
car as the freight train passed. It, is
supposed he fell between the two cars.
His body was badly mutilated.
His going onto the car was a sur.
prise to his family as during oil the
time ne has lived there he was never
known to do such a thing, but his
mother says he has acted strange for
about a week, ever since the Clarks
excursion train returned, when he,
with o lot of others, were here to see
the excursonists arrive. He stood talk
ing to a young girl while the crowd
of boys were hollering out, as boys
will at such times, and a man who ap-
peared toIhave been drinking. probably
thought it was meant for him as he
alighted from a car. He struck at
Willie, who was innocent. and
loosened one of his front teeth.
Among the articles found were his
collar and tie in one Of his pockets.
He must have taken them off and
climbed onto the car very quickly
after his companion saw him, for he
was surprised to see him sitting there
His mother thinks that the blow the
man gave him affected his head in
some way. They have a number of
friends in this borough and relatives,
some of whom, MI. and Mrs. Frank
Buckalew and Mr.. and Mrs. william
Slower, went to Elizabeth, Sunday, to
see the afflicted family. The remains
were taken to Martins morgue, in
Elizabeth, to be taken to his late home
