Walking Adopted as a Fad - Cross
Country RIMS Fashionable.

Walking Adopted as a Fad = Cross
Country RIMS Fashionable.
With the true Gallo enthusiasm that
characterizes their acceptance of any
fad or craze, the French people have
taken up athletics, particularly the
cross-eountry run or walk phase of
the strenuous life says the Illustrated
Sporting News. This movement. which
has had for it's more direct inspiration
the wholesale, pedestrianism that has
affected all England during the sum
mer and autumn of the present year,
is confined to neither class nor mass,
but is the property of the whole peo-
pie.
What is unquestionably the greatest
of cross-country runs, or, for that mat
ter, of any such contest ever held, was
celebrated at Paris on Sunday, Nov. s.
This affair. called lie Marche du Petit
Matelot." in honor of Partisan firm
that provides 10000 francs in prizes,
received 4.34S entries in advance. OF
this number $500 men, the employees
of 100 business houses In the French
capital, started on the forty kilometer
journey. and 1,347 of the contestants
covered the entire course The several
prize winners were separated at the
finish of what proved to be, apparent
ly, four-hour journey by seconds only.
SO great was the interest taken in
the affair mat more than 100000 spec
tators witnessed the start and finish
of the contest, many others lining the
roads traversed by the walkers, SO
that the competitors went through liv-
ing hedges practically the entire dis
lance. Each competitor wore bras

worn by older women than usually don
such get-ups. The dress goods often Is
some wool stuff. White set off with gold
appears also In silks, and without SOL
dierlv suggestion. A sketch is given
among these waists OF white silk pom
gee gown embroidered in flower design
with white and gold thread. Such
dresses are new this season and make a
fine appearance. In all the array of
white that is usual during the warm
months there will be very little Of the
black and white combination. Beside
the relief Of gold. there will be the touch
of color, either being thought preferable
to black.
Never was the matter OF so buying
summer millinery as to have something
to show for the outlay after the summer
is over so hopeless. In dressy hats every
thing is extremely perishable; feathers,
flowers, the hats themselves. In simpler
headwear the case is not much better.
Women Of ample means should make
record milliner's bills this summer. Com
paratiyely simple hats OF moderate size
are much trimmed with flowers In the
greatest profusion, or with a single rich
plume or with pair less fine. Lace Is
put on hats in quantities. such use being
as characteristic of the new millinery az
is banking of bloom and the mingling OF
blossoms and feathers. Some moderate
types are shown here by the artist The
upper two in the picture were red chif-
fon hat trimmed with white feathers
aid white roses, and a coarse white
straw trimmed with white silk and pink
roses. The lower were fancy soft white
straw, with black velvet fold, lilacs and
black ribbon pompons for trimmings, and
a plain white straw with coarser tan
straw and white silk for embellishments.
The baby hat with frill of lace all about
its brim is going to be much worn, and
by women who not only are not infants,

government from its chief town on the
Orinoco, Ciudad Bolivar: but in every

o. counsel for the Standard OIL Com
pany authorized to-day the following
statement:
I'm view of the many false and mis-
leading statements from various
sources, the directors of the Standard
Oil Company deem it advisable to state
to the companys shareholders and the
public, that neither now nor at any
time has the Standard OIL Company.

been interested in any business not di-
rectly related with and necessary TO
the petroleum trade.
"It would be almost impossible TO
designate in this denial the different
classes of business with which ire
sponsible parties have coupled the
Standard Oil Company's name, but II
may not be amiss to specify copper.
steel, banks railroads and gas (other
than natural gas), as being most prom
inently mentioned. With none of
these affairs has the Standard OIL
Company been at any time connected.
Individual members of the Stand
ard Oil Company have been,
and are. interested as indi-
viduals in various enterprises.
but this is entirely outside of the bust
ness OF the Standard OIL Company,
which is oil alone, unaffected by other
interests in which its stockholders NAV
invest.
Neither is II true that the Standard
Oil Company. John D. Rockefeller. or
any officer of the Standard Oil Com
pany, has taken part in securing the
nomination of any of the candidates
for Office. as is so positively stated
Furthermore. it is entirely untrue that
there is any standard OH party
banded together for speculation ir
stocks. as is sc commonly charged.
THE name of Standard OIL Company
Is frequently used by designing per.
sons in the manipulation OF the stock
market, but its use Is unwarranted.
THE STANDARD Oh Company depart,
from its usual custom in making thi,
denial for the reason that statement
being made at this time by newspa,
pers. magazines and sensational pub
lie speakers appear to be UNUSUAL,
mendacioue and may, to a great ex
tent, mislead the public"
