THESE

THESE Miro Dena" toilet preparations are making the same impression on the particular women of this city that they have made everywhere they have been introduced. Paris is famous for the quality and efficacy of the toilet helps she sends us, but she sends nothing better than Miro Dena. '
 The "Mino-D Dena'' Skin Food serves its purpose scientifically and daintily: It fills up the care-marks and makes the skin smooth and fair. The Miro Dena'' perfumes are too well known to need com ment. But. chief of all, is the Miro -Dena" Hair Tonic. which really seems if we may judge by what customers say, to be endowed with almost magical properties.
 All these all shown at special demonstration table. at elevator, first floor.

THEIR VIEWS DIFFER.
Commissioners Fail to Agree in Case
of Mr.. Proctor.

There appears to be diversity of opin-
ion among the three District Commits
sioners with reference to the penalty to
be imposed upon Detective Charles W.
Proctor, detailed to the health depart
ment, who was recently found guilty by
the police trial board of conduct unbe-
coming an officer, and was fined 500 by
the board. An appeal from the boards
decision was taken by Proctor, through
counsel, to the Commissioners, and in their
opinions as to the business Of the boards
decision the disagreement is noted. Com
mtssioners West and Biddle are of the
opinion that the penalty imposed by the
trial board was too severe, while COM
missioner mcfarland expresses the opln-
ion that even more severe punishment
should be imposed.
Each of the three Commissioners mas
made an Endorsement on the trial papers
setting forth their respective opinions OF
the case and Commissioner west, aiter
considering all the opinions, has recon-
mended that the fine be reduced TO $lo.
Commissioners Mcfarland and Biddie nave
not as vet acted on this Recommendation,
but Mr. Mcfarland, it is understood, sees
no reason for changing his former opinion
of the decision.
If Col. Biddle approves the recommends
tion of Mr. West the action finally suggest
ed by Commissioner West VIII stand as II
will have the approval of majority or
the board of Commissioners.
THE case has occasioned an unusual
amount of interest, inaSmuch as 1t Is sell
dom that SO radical disagreement Is OFF,
ciallv recorded among the members OF the
Roard of Commissioners, who ordinarily
act in concert on District matters.

; The second days session of the board of
review of the National Trotting Association
began in New York yesterday. All the MEM
bers of the board were in attendance. Pres
ident F. P. Johnston of Lexington, KY,
presided.
The first case that came up was the pur-
chase by E. E. Smathers of the horse DR..
Strong, 2.07A, at the Readvile Mass)
meeting last August. The horse was pur-
chased by G. W. Spear. Mr.. Smathers' train
er and manager, while the horse was con-
tending in a race the purchase of a horse
during race being contrary to the rules OF
the association.

stated that he had been in ignorance of the
rule which. it was claimed, he had vio-
lated. Decision was reserved.
The board then took up the case of w.
B. Powell of Girard. Pa, when Bob Da-
Wis of Brooklyn related his connection with
the horse King Wilkes. which. it was al
legged. was Jim Kennedy. with pacing
record of 2.G9A. The horse was raced, it
was claimed, under the name of King
Wilkes in New York Maryland and North
Carolina, and was finally purchased by

making record of 2.15 at Charlotte.
Powell. it appeared, had identified the
horse as King Wilkes to the general salts
faction of the association, but according
to Mr.. Davis, the identity of the horse as
King Wilkes was questioned again. and
upon investigation his identity as Jim Ken
nedy was established.
Powell was expelled from the association
by the board because of his connection with
the case. Powell had been the former own
err of the horse Bob Davis of Brooklyn,
and Paul Chatham of North Carolina, the
latter being the present owner. were exon
Grated, and the horse placed in good stand
ing.
The allegation made to the board that the
black mare Lille Farnum, owned by G. l..
D,,xr f1,, So ~, II a.
Casabelin, go, was disallowed by the
board, and it was ordered that her winnings
be paid over.
Cornelius Snyder of Gloversville, N. Y,
and the PAGER Whalebone, formerly Billy
Medium, 2.21A, were suspended till the
purses won by the horse under name of
Whalebone be returned.

TODAY ENDS HARD PRACTICE.
Army and Navy Teams Are Ready for
Saturdays Battle at League Park.

Today will end the heavy practice of
both the Army and the Navy teams,
which are to meet at American League
Park on Saturday afternoon. Tomorrow
the teams will be taken out on their re-
spective grounds and given an hour Of
light signal work, but nothing in the line
of scrimmaging will be attempted, as
none of the coaches are willing to take
any chances with their men SO near to
the game.
This morning Coach Wefers had the
Navy team out on the parade grounds at
the navy yard, perfecting several forma-
lions which he will spring on the Army
The followers of the Navy team are rest
ing somewhat easier today, as their team
has been strengthened greatly by the adj
dition of three men who arrived from
New York yesterday for the game. Bruff
Mcdonald and Meredith, trio of 200
Founders, were out for the first time and
were Immediately put in the lineup, as
they impressed Coach Wefers as good
men who will be invaluable to stop the
attacks of the Army backs Saturday.
The army practice has been transferred
from Fort Myer to Washington barracks in
order to allow the engineer regiment to
get look at the team before 1t trots out
on the field Saturday. Yesterday afternoon
was spent in practicing in the. riding acad-
envy at Fort Myer and the work was highly
satisfactory to the coaches.
The navy yard band will attend the
game. This makes three full reginlental
bands that win be at the park to help en-
liyen things SO neither of the teams will
suffer from the lack of support. The COM
panies of the different regiments are max

$3.50, So, Sd, SIS and UP.

Prosperity is general and is not dependent
upon any CONFUSION in speculative prices.
1t was felt after the close of the sensa-
tional break in the stock market, in which
dealings attained enormous proportions that
a combination of circumstances was respon-
sible for the wholesale and violent liquid T.
ton.
The break of security prices was very gem
eral and the liquidation continued almost
without cessation until the close of the mar
ket.
The volume of business was unparalleled
this year, and the total transactions of thu
day reached the largest since the memo
rabIe Northern Pacific panic on May 9. 1901.
Altogether about 2,jG0000 shares changed
hands on declining scale of prices.
Rallies were feeble and shortlived. The
outpouring of stock simply swamped all eff
forts to hold the market, but to the trained
observer there was little organized support.
On the contrary, the pools and cliques which
have been the mainstay of the market were
compelled TO let go their holdings and
Tighten their loads as did the inexperienced
and woolly Wall street lamb.

scuRRY IN WALL STREET.
Stocks Break Violently-Some Brokers
Charge It to Lawson.

Under heavy liquidation and equally heavy
and effective short selling stocks broke vio-
lently yesterday. 1t was day of semi
decentralization in Wall street, unequaled
since the midsummer market of 1903 while
in point of activity the market compared
with the days of tremendous trading pre-
ceding the break of May 8. 1901. Upward of
1910 400 shares changed hands.
In commenting upon the occurrence the
New York Herald says that speculative
Wall street blamed Thomas w. Lawson of
Boston for the crash in paper profits: Con-
seryative Wall street was more inclined to
assign to Mr.. Lawson the position of the
Fly on the chariot wheel who thought he
raised all the dust.
The real unsettlement. in the opinion OF
most bankers, was the recommendation to
Congress contained in President Roosevelt S
message to Congress that the interstate
commerce commission should receive the
power to determine traffic rates and exer-
else greater supervision over interstate rail-
ways. Advices from Washington told of
condition of intense interest prevailing there
over the Presidents recommendation.
1.-THE recommendations appropriate
and the powers of the interstate commerce
commission should be enlarged" said Sena-
tor Quarles.
Railway officials everywhere are deeply
concerned in the great question. 1t is the
general belief that the Presidents recon-
mendations are the direct result of the ap-
peals made to him by Governors Cummins
of Iowa, Van SAINT of Minnesota and La
Toilette of Wisconsin. As such the appeal
for rate regulation comes from powerful
body of men. whose views and those OF their
constituents are entitled to consideration.
AS to the future of the stock market. AL
depends upon the common sense of the pub
lie Prices have declined. but real values
have not been injured by the incendiary cir
culars issued in a stock jobbing campaign.
Neither are they injured by discussion as
to government rate regulation of interstate
railways, which may never materiaiize.

Fire DESTROYS HOME
OF CAPTAIN COyNE

Fire destroyed the home of Captain
slopes. about 1910 yesterday afternoon.
Owing to the long uphill climb for the
fire engine and hose carts water was
not put on the building until it had
become enveloped in flames. Only the
kitchen and a small addition at the
rear used as a bedroom were untouch-
ed by the fire.
While Captain Coyne and his wife
were finishing their MONDAY meal on
the lanai, little boy ran into the
house saying that the top of the house
was on fire. Captain Coyne went to
look and found the roof and back por-
ton of the main house surrounding the
kitchen stove-pipe in flames. and the
wind blowing the blaze rapidly to 9TH
er parts of the structure. AS soon as
an alarm was sent in Captain Coyne
began to hurry out his household goods
Neighbors and others came to his as
sistance and most of the furniture was
saved, although in a somewhat demoI-
ished condition.
BY the time water was laid on the
fire the main part of the house was in
ruins. Chas. Phillips house just Eva
of the Coyne home caught fire and the
entire household goods were hastily re-
moved. Water was quickly poured on
however, and the structure saved. So
frantic were people to remove goods
from the Phillips home that some one
even wrenched the front door off its
hinges.
Captain Coyne believes that the
woodwork surrounding the stove pipe
caught fire from the heat passing
through the latter. His furniture was
only partially insured.
