The smart little coat is cut in that
semifitting square bolero shape which
is always so particularly becoming to
youthful figure. It is trimmed on Ell
Their side in front and also on the sleeves,
with large round rosettes of silk ribbon
to match the waist belt, but in narrow
er width. The full sleeves to the elbow
are cool and comfortable, and sufficient
ly wide to admit of wearing a blouse
sleeve underneath, If necessary. The
coat sleeves are turned back with gaunt-
let cuffs of the same material, and fin
ished with double frills Of soft cream
lawn, finely accordion plated. Under
the coat little vest of lawn with yoke
of embroidery may be seen, but of course
the coat could be worn. over blouse if
preferred.
The hat to be worn with this pretty
frock is of soft white Manila straw,
with a fairly high crown, ant wide,
shady brim. It is quite simply trimmed
with broad scarf Of soft silk ribbon to
match the waist belt, draped round the
crown, caught up into big chou at the
side Of the crown, and then finished with
ends which droop over the hair at the
back. This sketch might be carried out
very successfully also in any Of those
delightful Harris linens, which can be
obtained this year in so many lovely
colors, and which always wash and wear
so wonderfully well. For those who
prefer something even more simple than
I have already suggested, the same idea
might be expressed in holland, in crash
or In drill, with round medallion motifs
Of embroidered lawn, or washing braid,
in place Of the ribbon rosettes, and a
waist band made in the same material
as the frock itself.
In our other illustration may be seen
a most attractive trio of hats, which
should serve thoroughly to equip Made
moiselle with becoming head-gear for
all late summer occasions. The large
hat on the left side of the picture would
be suitable for a girl about ii or Is
years of age, and is intended naturally
only for Sunday best. It is made in fine
white chip, in quite newest shape, with
very high crown, and wide, shady
brim, just lightly wired underneath at

Poisoning by White Of Egg.

Poisoning by white of egg has been
reported by J. r. Clemens in boy of Il
months. The addition of the white of an
egg to his usual milk diet caused him to
be suddenly seized with an attack of
nettle-rash, with greatly swollen face
and ears and alarming collapse. Injec-
tons of strychnine seemed to rescue him
from death. A repetition of the milk and
egg meal brought similar attack a few
days later, third attack followed the
eating of custard, and after eating gin
gerbread in which two eggs had been
used the child's feet became extremely
swollen and covered with purple spots.

Lay it across the mouth of bottle and
place a penny on the match. You are
now ready to demonstrate the force of
the water drop-and also ready to do a
trick to surprise some unlocking friend.
Ask your friend to get the coin into
the bottle without touching either the
match or the bottle After he has puz-
zled over it for awhile dip your finger in
a glass of water, hold it above the place
where the match is notched and let a
drop fall on the point. The power of the
water as it strikes the match is strong
enough to force the sides of the angles
to spring apart, thus making the opening
large enough for the penny to fall into
the bottle.
Your trick is performed, says the Gin
cinnati Tribune, while the water drops

Our, Agricultural Department

.Our AGRICULTURAL department.
While it is universally admitted that
the administration of the department of
agriculture is probably the most effec-
tive in the world, it is interesting to note
that this service costs the nation far less
than that of other countries. A German
paper states that Russia expends annual
ly for this purpose as much as the United
States and France, Austria and Hun
gary, about $500 900 each, while Amer
lea spends but $6,0OO,O00.

Embarrasscs the Court House.
A woman searched the County Court
House for her husband yesterday with the
help Of a detective sergeant and a uni
formed policeman. The policemen had q
warrant for the mans arrest, but they
would tell neither his name nor the charge
against him. The woman, who was dressed
In velvet and seemed to be prosperous
was equally on-oommunicative.
But she kept the policemen on the co.
Tor within an hour she had pointed out
three different men as the husband. The
first was lawyer, fairly we'll known about
the courts; the second a secretary Of one
OF the judges, and the third juror await
ing his call Each established his identity
without much trouble. and when the police
men called on the woman for an explanation
she could merely answer
We'll. he certainly does look remarkably
like my husband. He's got dark hair and
gray eyes and wears good clothes, just
like Tom does. But, Of course, II 1t isn't
him. why 1t isn't, that's all.
On the third failure the detective es-
corted the woman out Of the Court House,
as the bunch was getting laughed at by
the crowd in the lobby.

PREVAILING RATE BUDGET.
Board OF Estimate starts an Independent
Inquiry About Wages.

The Board OF Estimate began work yes.
terday on the budget by giving public
hearings on the departmental estimates
The. board sat for several hours listening
to the appeals OF heads OF departments for
more money. That the departments will
get no appropriations for salary Increases
or new jobs save such as are mandatory
has already been determined upon by the
Mayor and Comptroller Grout.
Bridge Commissioner Best asked for an
increase Of $116s84 He explained that he
wanted to raise some salaries, hire more
wages, which, he said, many Of the depart
ment mechanics are not getting.
Fire Commissioner Hayes asked for
90, 854 1858, an 1884 ,083 increase, for new fire
houses, improvements on apparatus and
additional firemen
Commissioner Woodbury. appealed for
1851 ,27l for the Department of Street
Cleaning, Si,ll3,559 more than he got last
year. He said that the expense Of final
disposition in Brooklyn had advanced 125
per cent; that he desires to pay sixteen men
who have to work Sundays extra for the
day, and that he wants to change the sys-
tenn in Brooklyn so "a to make a daily in
stead Of weekly collection OF ashes and
garbage.
we can rely on the present high eff
fciency being maintained, can we not?'
asked the Mayor with smile.
You can rely upon the Commissioner
doing his best to maintain the efficiency"
replied Major Woodbury..
Corporation Counsel Delany asked for
$1,000 extra to increase salaries, and S8s ,O4O
extra for his contingent fund with which
to defray the cost Of moving him from
the Stats ZeitunQ building to the law
offices in the new Hall OF Records. ~.
Police Commissioner McAdoo wanted
$12, 055, 72s6 S, or $962 ,423 more than last
year or that amount $4,000 is to pay
for 400 additional patrolmen.
Commissioner Oakley Of the Depart
ment Of Water Supply appealed for an
increase Of Sl,l15,l52. A large part OF this
sum, he said, he required to pay the pre-
vailing rate OF wages.
I'VE will have to do something about
this prevailing rate OF wages question
said Comptroller Grout. Requests are com
ing to us from all departments and we
must take up the question at once
He asked the Commissioner how he
arrived at the prevailing rate. Mr.. Oakley
replied that he got it from the officers Of
labor organizations. Mr.. Grout did not
seem to think that this was the only way.
He suggested that an investigation be
made by the city to find out what the large
private concerns are paying to mechanics
and laborers. This was agreed to.

NO ONE TO BLAME FOR FIRE.
Owner. Lessee and Contractor Discharge ed
Tenement and Building Dept. Scored.

The Coroner's jury returned O verdict
yesterday that no one was directly re-
sponsible for the fire at 1874 Attorney street
on Sept. 4, in which fourteen persons lost
their lives. but that the responsibility for the
inspection OF such places should be vested
In either the Tenement House Department
or the Building Department, so that either
one or the other could be held guilty OF all
discrepancies The inquest was on the
death Of Yetta Miller and the thirteen others
who were suffocated to death in the fire. 1t
was presided over by Coroner Scholer,
who recommended, when the evidence
was all in, that the owner, lessee and con-
tractor of the building be discharged. but
that the Building Department and the
Tenement House Department be strongly
censured.
What is everybody's business is no.
body's business said the Coroner In his
charge. From my per sonal knowledge
l know there has been a conflict between
the two departments for some time. Both
disregard their duties, and both can shirk
responsibility, so both departments should
be under one head"
The verdict followed out the Coroner's
instructions to the letter.
Seven witnesses were examined. Chief
Inspector Lee of the Tenement House De-
partment told OF the improvements which
were under way on the building, and said
that the last time he inspected the building
just previous to the fire, the FIRE escapes
were all in place. Capt. Kane OF the engine
that responded first told of find
ing the fire escapes blocked with house
hold goods belonging to the tenants. The
testimony OF the other witnesses went to
show that none OF the inmates was burned to
death on the escapes, but that all persisted
of suffocation in their rooms or the hall
ways. Capt. Brogan Of Hook and Ladder
company Is said that there was some
delay in sending in the alarm and that if
the fireman could have reached the build
ing fifteen minutes sooner every life would
have been saved.
After the jury's verdict was rendered

SMALL BID FOR FRISCO BONDS.
Bankers and Public Men Rebuke the Labor
Administration or the City.

SAN Francisco, Oct. s.-The poor opinion
which the leading bankers and business
men Of San Francisco entertain of Mayor
Schmitz and his union labor administra-
ton was shown strikingly to-day when
out of "a 500 900 of new city bonds for public
improvements only s277,OOO were bid for.
The State Board of Examiners bid for
$25oyooo. The remainder included two pri-
vate bids for $4,000 and $4,000.
These bonds were to be taken at par
for twenty years at 81 per cent. There Is
no question that syndicate OF bankers
would have been formed and the full
amount promptly subscribed for had 1t
not been for the general feeling among
the leading men Of the city that the Mayors
administration should not be trusted with
the spending Of this money because Of the
notorious corruption in all the depart

The only way to rebuke the admins
tration was to refrain from bidding for
the bonds, and this was done. Heretofore
there has been no difficulty in floating
such securities.

Stanton ran his boat alongside the launch
and climbed over the rail. He asked for
further particulars Of the trip, and Brisker
said that when he reached the celestial
shores with his 40,oOo-odd passengers con-
signed to St. Peter he would receive a
crown and a nice little throne.
Stanton volunteered to act as pilot, and

A number of the recreation centres
and evening schools opened last evening,
and over in the swarming East Side the
attendance was so large that policemen
had to stand at the doors of the schools
to keep in order the crowd clamoring to
get in. The schoolhouse at the corner of
Rivington and Suffolk streets was used
last year as a recreation centre but the
night school attendance this fall promised
to be so large that recreation department
work was abandoned. The promise of a
heavy attendance at the night school was
moro than made good at the opening last

with applicants for admission.
The largest of the recreation centres will

between 700 and 500 members will be ad,

UTICA, Oct. 3.-As the campaign pro-
crosses the Republican leaders in Oneida
county become more and more convinced
that, unless something quickly develops
to stem the tide now running in Judge
Herrick's favor, Gov. Odell's ticket, headed
by Higgins for Governor, Is not only going
to fail to carry this Republican stronghold,
but will be showed under in Oneida county
at the coming election. 1t is now under
stood that the campaigners for the Repub-
lican county committee will steer clear OF
any reference to Governor Chairman Odell
and his administration, and try to make
the people believe that Higgins will be the
Governor II he Is elected. The speaking
campaign will be begun this week
Many Republicans hereabouts have re-
ceived letters from Governor Chairman
Odells New York bureau asking the re-
cipients to send information as to the con-
ditions Of the party in this vicinity. The
letters are nicely worded and the recipi-
ents are led to believe that they are known
personally to Odell and that their views
Of the situation are greatly desired. The
letters have been sent to the many Repub-
Leans who are regarded as slightly of
on certain parts Of the ticket Other letters
received by State officeholders in Oneida
county make a fat demand for money to
aid in the election Of Odell's candidates
