Beauty rose came out, per-
haps it had influence to make this
bloom one peculiarly distinguished; at
any rate now if one is fortunate enough
to get just the right touch of grape tone,
whatever it is that bears the shade will
be liked as long as it lasts. We suggest
costume that possesses a harmony Of
tints. and the tints Of the kind alluded
to. 1t is mauve gown of cloth (the ma
terial exquisitely fne), trimmed with
heliotrope velvet. The hat should be
very carefully chosen, preferably match
ing the costume, although an all-white
or an all-biack one would not be at all
bad with such gown. The artist that
designed the model selected purple vel
vet hat with plumes of the same color. So
often questions are asked concerning the
exact shade meant by mauve that we
feel called upon to repeat that it is deli
cate purple, lilac or violet. 1t is, to our
way Of thinking, one of the loyeliest OF
all the numberless tones.

Speaking of blue gowns, we lately
were impressed with one worn by pure

fashionable sequins, which were of

for the shoulders of the low-neck bodice,
and were cunningly used on net which
fell from the shoulders to a deep point
below the elbow.

the Internal machine placed
by him on the steamer Umbria some

concerning past powder plots and plot

Most OF us have repeated the Guy
Fawkes rhyme, the
please to remember
The 9Th of November"
The Fawkes conspiracy WAS set Tor
November 5, but the conspiracy was
discovered in time to avert the destruc-
ton of life planned. The conspirators
were arrested, Fawkes and some OF
the ringleaders executed. Their plot,
stupendouS one, involved whole
sale killing. The cellar under Parlia-
ment house was filled with barrels of
gunpowder, placed there for the pur-
pose of dealing death to large part OF
the most prominent families In the
kingdom Parliament was to open
the 9Th; on the night of the 4th the
conspirators were arrested as they were
entering the cellar, and their long-laid
plans ended in utter defeat, death for
themselves. They, who thought the
assassination of their cOuntry's ruler
alone would do little to help their par
ty, had conceived the idea OF destroy
ing at one fell blow "the king, the roy
al family, the lords, the commons, and
bury our enemies in one common ruin.
A writer in the Leisure Hour says
that the attempt on the life of Napo-
leon Bonaparte lin 1900, when he was
under the title of first consuD may be
considered the commencement Of the
era of assassination by Internal ma
chimes. 1t took place as Napoleon was
driving in his carriage on the way to
the opera. Two conspirators were sta
toned without the TuillerieS, and the
moment the consuTs carriage came in
sight they were to run and give warn

= OMEWHERE in Southland,
MNQ away from the harsh
ySSSSN breezes, Ira d. Sankey, the
SNI1kN evangelist and sweet singer,
&E whose voice has moved mil
lions, is awaiting the end.
A broken man, physically-a mere
shadow of the formerly robust and pro-
digiously energetic 260-pound frame that
seemed to be tireless-this wonderful
man Is shielded from the worlds view
by loving friends. His sightless eyes
may never glow again with the light
that charmed the multitudes In two hem
ispheres. The thin, drawn and enact
ated features could not be taken for
those whose ruddy fullness bespoke the
vigorous hymn singer. If weighted in
the finest balance, Ira D. Sankey to-day
would not tip the beam a bit over 80
pounds.
What a contrast to the days when his
immense chest swelled beneath the
tight-ftting Prince Albert! The long
power OF Sankey in his prime puzzled
the critics. So broken in health that It
seems as if the slightest harsh to2e
might snap the life chord, the great
evangelist appears an almost pathetic
character.
His one great wish, so often expressed
TO scores of thousands that he might de-
part this life singing that old hymn
There Is a fountain filed with blood
Drawn from Emanuers veins

CBy the Associated Press.)

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 11.-William

pointed by President Roosevelt to be
a special commissioner to Venezuela.
Mr.. Calhoun will make a thorough in
yestigatiOn into the conditions In
Venezuela so far as they relate to the
United States and it's interests. An
official announcement says Mr.. Cal
houn has been designated as special
commissioner to examine fully into

the United States and Venezuela and
other foreign powers, and also to what
has been arranged for the other for
eign powers that in any way conflicts
with the interests of the United States.
He also is to examine, although neceS-
sarily in a rather general way, into the
complaint made by American COM
panies as to the conduct of the Vene-
Zuelan government, and report to the
President exactly as to which the
equities are in these cases.
Mr.. Calhoun will make no inquiries
relating to the BowenLoomis case.
The President regards that as practi-
cally closed incident.

VAUGHAN ON TRIAL
Man with Seven Indict
ments Yet to Come
Hangs First Jury.

Superior court yesterday was devoid
of any interest except to Mr.. Alveus
Vaughan, the agent of the Singer
Sewing Machine Company, who was
charged with embezzlement in eight
different bills.
Mr.. Vaughan, according to the
prosecution, was in the habit of sell
ing sewing machines for cash and then
forging the names of the purchasers
to time leases sending forward the
first payment which would have been
due under such a contract and pocket
ing the balance of the money.
Messrs. Harris & Harris, who APP
peared for the defense, sought man
fully to obtain q postponement of tho
case until they had time to go over a
mass of receipts for moneys RENTED
which the defendant had in his pos
session in correlation with the bill of
particulars. alleging certain, specific
instances of embezzlement. Judge AL
len would have none of this, however,
and the trial proceeded.
After vOluminouS testimony and
lengthy argument in the first of the
indictments, the jury took the case
shortly before the dinner hour and
they had not returned at late hour
last night. Immediately after recess
another of the bills was taken up and
much the same ground gone over with.
This case is not yet concluded. The
prosecution says it will keep on, if
necessary, through the eight indict-
ments until verdict of guilty is OBJ
tanned Meanwhile the defendant
knows that his case has greatly both

Vaughan is a pallid chap minus a
chin and suspicious for certain
blatant responsibility OF appearance,
manifested in the height of his collar
and the precision with which his hair
is banged. He held his feet under
his chair and was 'unduly interested
with the proceedings His hands are
white and his brown eyes furtive.
Mr.. Vaughan on the street would be
spotted as an unsuccessful dude, but
never as a criminal. The intelligence
implied by the bills is surprising when
one looks at the defendant. ''.'. e.
Assisting the solicitor in this case
is Mr.. F. S. Spruill, of Louisburg.
Other Matters Disposed OF.
John Hubbard, under indictment for
the stealing of a purse, got a respite
from trial until today on account of
the absence of a witness.
M. n. Goods appeal from the de-
cisiOn of a magistrate who had marked
him as prosecutor and charged him

Jennie Smith, charged with larceny
and receiving, was acquitted.
Sam Marlborough who had been in
Jail for murder and in whose case
there had been habeas corpus proceed
ings under which he was released on
$500 bond, was turned loose by the
grand jury, which failed to find u

IT MUST Be FALSE
Few Men Would Believe
this Assertion.
Yet an Examination of Prison Records
Would Show that Many Crimes
are Traceable to this Cause
Alone.

Under certain circumstances a man
of integrity may be tempted to lie
or to steal. The conscience may be
numbed, the better part of ones self
so deadened that he becomes abso-
lutely british. In such a case the
man is no longer a responsible being.
An observant writer speaking along
this line says:
IF any person deserves a golden
crown in the next world it is DR.. Leslie
f.. Kelley, for he has saved numbers
of persons from filling drunkard' S
graves who are today filling many
places of trust and honor.

man. and then instead of being dis

I'm this age of advancement no
business man or corporation wants a
