History Repeated in Fashions

Nothing is too gorgeous for us, moth
ing is too simple, and thus we see
brilliant shades side by side wish
subdued Quaker tones.
1t is not surprising that dress to-
day is beautiful. for the wonderful
colorings and lovely embroideries of
the Far East are manipulated with
the ingenuity and lightness Of touch
peculiar to the Western nations, chic
and smartness we have at home, and
superior intelleetS have culled won
drous designs from the old-world
masters. The Italian school is also
playing a part with it's trimmings
and enamels.
You may wear gowns of silk or
serge, linen or muslin, but the skirt
of the evening frock and the toilette
de reception must be long, full, and
flowing. Walking skirts, on the other
hand, are plain at the top, full at the
feet, and clear the ground all round.
Kid and suede belts are de rigueur
with tailor-made gowns, while on
smarter occasions we wear soft ORR
entail satin and taffeta pointed bands
and sashes.
Long stoles and Echus of marabout
and ostrich feather are worn, some Of
the latter being shaggy-looking and
uncurled. Then we also see fichus Of

not go out of fahion, but will get paler
and paler until it dissolves into vel

quarter of a mile. in width, extended
to the top of the mountain, thousand

melting of the snow and ice above,
nestled at the foot of the ice-field. its

This lake was partially frozen. over.
and in the occasional open spaces large
blocks of ice were floating round.
Moved by the force of the wind, they
grounded upon rocks or firmer ice un-

from British attacks. The battle OF
Bridgewater sometimes called battle
OF Niagara Falls, and also designated
battle of Lundy's Lance was foughtwith-
in sight and sound of the Falls, and at
Fort Erie the Americans made the sortie
that saved Buffalo and western New
York from further British invasion.
AS is we'll known, Niagara for some
time past has been of quite other than
scenic and historic value Among the
countless visitors to Niagara in the last
100 years there were many that con-
cocted schemes for the "chaining OF

portion of the great water power. The
Falls representing 100000 horse pow
er. manufacturers considered it a sin
full waste not to utilize the wealth here
to be had so freely; and, little by little,
progress was made in the way of OBJ
tanning rights and privileges.
In 1912 there was proposed by a Mag
ara man considerable extension of the
system of canals and races then in use,
and finally arrangements were COM
pleted for the construction of canal
by which water of the upper Niagara
river should be brought to reservoir
at the high bluff of the lower river. On
the edge of the basin various mills were
erected, the water conducted to their,
wheels by means of short tunnels. In
1870 the canal became the property Of
the Niagara Falls Hydraulic and Manu-
featuring company, which leased water

fore long quite a manufacturing colony
grew up about the picturesque gorge.
In 1886 more land was secured by the
company, and in 1892 work was begun
on the enlargement of its canal. A pulp
mill and power house are comparatively
recent additions to this industrial Mag
ara.
The other huge enterprise engaged in
furnishing Niagara power, the Niagara
Power company, is a more recent organ
iZation. In 1886 several citizens of Mag
ara obtained charter from the legis-
'lature giving them the right to utilize
for manufacturing purposes part of the
water Of the river; but the plan of this
company was founded on such an enor-
nous scale that much time and caution
were necessary for bringing the work
to satisfactory completion. After much
conference and study it was decided to
esta blish an international Niagara COM

prizes for the most excellent plans for

world had to give. In the fall of 1890

in two years the work was completed.

by John Mitchell, president of

the companies replied that they were

ANARCHY
AS FURTHER ILLUSTRATED
IN COLORADO
AUTHORITIES DEFY LAW
Do Not Recognize Juris-
diction of Court.

Denver, Colo, April 21.-The ha-
beas corpus case of President p.
Meyer, of the Western Federation of
Miners, under arrest by the military
authorities, came up in the state SUI
preme court this afternoon. Three Of
the questions argued were whether or
not he should be admitted to bail pend
ing arguments whether or not the
court had jurisdiction and whether or
not Governor Peabody had exceeded
his authority during the military cam
paign in the district affected in south
ern Colorado.
The state was represented by Attor-
ney General Miller and Attorney John
Waldron, who held that the court had
no jurisdiction, it being admitted that
martial law existed in the San Miguel
country. They cited no authority to
uphold their contentious, although the
court asked for some. Meyer was rep
resented by e. e. Richardson, who
contended that the governor had no
right to hold Meyer or suspend writ
Of habeas corpus. The suspension Of
the writ could only be effected by leg
islative action under the state consti-
tuition. He offered 81 authorities from
all the courts in the land to substan-
tiate his argument.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
the court announced that it would rem
der q decision later at which time it
would set date for arguments on its
Governor Peabody's military power.
The court seemed much displeased
at the statement of Attorney Waldron,
in which he declared that Meyers
body was not produced because the
respondents recognized the courts jur-
isdiction in the case, but merely as
an act of courtsey. When the court
arose, Meyer was hustled out of the
chamber by General Bell and Captain
Wells, placed in cab, driven to the
depot and started back to the bull pen
at Telluride.
Mrs. Meyer was weeping at the
door OF the court and when her hus-
band stopped to kiss her good bye,
Captain Wells grasped him and push.
ed him aside into the corridor.

He Begs Doctors to Save

the tenacity of all human beings for
life the negro begs the physicians to
save him, yet he knows if he lives he
will be lynched by an argry mob
which can easily break down the weak
barriers that hold the man prisoner.
Last Sunday evening while Mrs AL
exander Conaway was leaving a re-
ception party at Buras, Aschen ran
from a hiding place and picking ner up
in his arms, ran several hundred
yards with her before her screams at
tracted some of the men who had at
tended the same reception.
They rescued her and the negro
tried to escape, but in doing so was
dangerously shot. Lynching was at
once proposed but it was finally de-
cided that 1t would be best to await the
result of the wounds IL the negro re-
covers they will break into the jail and
punish him with death.
