There was not II moment to be lost.
He rushed into Iris room and gathered

girl US he ran with her to the foot of

shoulders with unfalteriny courage
while he climbed to the ledge with the
aid Of the pole and the rope placed
there the previous day. 1t was a mag
nificent feat Of strength that he essay
eli. In calmer moments he would have
shrunk from Its performance IL only
on the score of danger to the precious
burden he carried. Now there was no
time for thought. Up he went, hand
over hand, clinging to the rough pole

wrist at each upward clutch. At last.
breathless, but triumphant, he reached
the ledge and was able to gasp his In

back and head until she was safely

Then before she could expostulate he

These he hastily slrng to the rope.

the guns after him with Infinite care.

growled. lying prone on the ledge and

For two shivering hours they waited
there until the sun was high over the
cliff and filed sea and land with its
brightness. At last, despite the girls

 Mexican Half Dollar Fake.


 Mexican Half Dollar Fake.
 BALTIMORE, Dec. 26.-Two suit cases filled to their limit with nearly 2,OO0 bright silver Mexican half dol lars, which are now in the private of flee of Captain Humphrey, chief of de tectives, proved an interesting feature of a case upon which the police have been working during the past week and which has resulted in the commit ment to court of Frank T. Gibson, whose residence is not known, and James Williams of Columbus, O., upon the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses.
 The Mexican coin Is worth only 24 cents in United States money, and the men, it is alleged, would buy five cents worth of something in store and put down some of the Mexican coins, re- ceiving 45 cents in change. One side of the Mexican coin resembles the United States coin, but the other is very diff ferent Numerous merchants in this city have complained of having been victimized, and the police department suspects that the two men under ar rest have been operating in other cities.

BOSTON, Dec. 26.-The distribution of upwards of 30,000 dinners and an array of other gifts by the Salvation Army. Volunteers of America, the churches and by charitably disposed citizens was leading feature of the observance of Christmas in Boston. The Salvation Army and the Volun- teers furnished 20,OOc dinners. The first named organization gave away 10000 toys. At the state prison in Charlestown the prisoners were en- tertained by concert in the chapel and were also permitted to see a game of football in the yard. The players were inmates of the institution. The usual full Christmas dinner was served to every one.

 tion of Western Land Sharks.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Irvin Bax- ter, United States district attorney for Nebraska, has been removed summa- rily from office by President Roosevelt. The announcement of Mir. Baxter's re moval has been made at the White House.
 District Attorney Baxter, who was appointed to office last spring, prose cuted on behalf of the government the case against Richards 6 Comstock, cat tie raisers, who were charged with fencing illegally the public lands in Nebraska and whose prosecution was brought about by investigations into land frauds made under the direction of Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock. The men were convicted and sentenced to six hours in the custody of the Unit ed States marshal. Practically no de fense was made in the trial.
 In carrying out the sentence the Unit ed States marshal deputized the attor- neys of Richards & Comstock to take charge of the defendants for the six hours of their sentence. For exercising this leniency the marshal was removed from office Both the president and the department were dissatisfied with the manner in which the case had been prosecuted by District Attorney Bax- ter, and as result MT. Baxter's resig- nation was requested.

The separate coat is seen at its best, perhaps, in the evening wrap. Fash ion now decrees that my lady appear in cloak that bears about it no util- itarian suggestion, one evidently de signed for recreation hours. Most of the evening wraps are light colored, pale blue very fashionable. And cloths of finest, smoothest quality ap- pear to take lead in materials. AL though lace wraps are much affected by some, the fine cloths are as good as anything the season has brought forth. Crepe de chimes also are em- ployed, a thick interlining used to make them warm enough. One sees some fur-lined cloaks, but not many; they are as rule relegated to foot ball games and outdoor demands, not for show in opera box and other even. ing affairs.
 One lovely pale blue wrap had a deep border of delicate gold embroid- cry, the gilt not in the least showy. These deep bands are feature of the winter trimmings, and a late novelty is the border of embroidered white cloth. A very good pale pink wrap
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-12-26

was adorned with gilt tracery, and the hat worn with it had crown of pale cloth-ofgold, the feathers the ex- act shade of the wrap. A beautiful new shade in pink is flesh tint, this probably will rival the fashionable apricot, the pinky-yellow.
 The evening wraps are lined in self-color. There are some magpie eff fects, black over white. The design here illustrated appeared in the Dry Goods Economist, black Chantilly lace over white silk; the trimming used, black silk braid and lace frills. Spanish lace is making its way, and no doubt ere long will be well to the fore. It is being shown not only in black and white. but also there are dyed Spanish laces. We always had a weakness for the lace sacred to man tilla of sultana, and welcome it back again right gladly. There is nothing prettier for an evening bodice than cream Spanish lace waist; the color so soft and very becoming against bare arms and shoulders
 Gray Is liked for evening gowns as we do not remember it ever before to have been, and in the silky crepe de chimes 1t lights up beautifully. An empire gown of gray musseline de soie was brought to our notice, the skirt bordered with embroidery done in smallest of gold spangles. Gold and gray is an exquisite combination, very Frenchy. Gray taffeta and vel vet are combined with good results, and here we will stop to mention the approval given the taffeta silk bodice of the newest velvet gown. Only the sleeves of the silk bodice are of vel vet. It is a revival of fashion Of some 15 years back, appears to us bit dowdy and with very little to rec ommend it. But many a dame Is after novelty, and this probably has been invented for such as seek the novel at the expense of good style.
 Lace hats continue to increase in number, black ones not seen so often as white. And speaking of hats we must mention a charming small chap eau we saw the other day, one of those neat, low-crowned, turned-up evenly on both sides affairs. The material was silky felt, the color an exquisite violet gray. The trimming was wide band of shaded violet messaline ribbon wrinkled across the front, and over one side climbed great bunch of violets. The effect was like the posies, modest and simple and lovely This hat might be worn day or even ing, and would look well with long cloak of violet chiffon broadcloth. It goes without saying that it would be just the thing for broadcloth street shit

FOT evening wrap anu thS SeA SNS suit the long wrap is usually chosen, but for dressy afternoon wear the short jacket holds it's own. We con fess we find a long flowing skirt and cloak with long flowing lines partlcu' larly graceful; but we add that there is a lot of style to the short jacket This year the short velvet coat IS very fashionable. and it certainly is fetch ing with a skirt of broadcloth, wheth- CT the same color or not. One. or the costumes in highest favor at recent gathering of Vanity Fair, was black velvet coat worn with skirt Of blue voile: the collars, cuffs and revers or the coat of ermine. Another attract i've costume had a broadcloth skirt adorned with velvet trimming in some fanciful arrangement, and the short Eton was of velvet matching the skirt trimming. One sees a number of short fur wraps, these not so good as those of velvet
 A black panne suit, skirt and short jacket. is a good investment this year: the short coat may be worn, and very ,stylishly, with various skirts. The season has offered noth- ing of better fashion than certain of the black panne suits.
 Yesterday we saw a pretty little black broadcloth costume on a young girl. the skirt and coat both short The narrow girdle of the jacket was lightly trimmed in green broadcloth, and the vest showed a bit of green. The sleeves were short, they and the open front disclosed white lingerie waist beneath. The hat and veil were of green. the neck.piece and fiat pill low muff of Persian lamb. It was a cold day. and the girl had to thrust her thinly glad arms deep in the pill low muff.
 Having spoken of the short, con- trasting wrap. we may now call at tention to the short basque coat for evening wear in color contrasting with the skirt. It is a quaint fash ion. and may be very becoming; or 1t may be made eccentric; it depends much on the style of the wearer. An excellent model was a pink-howered pale blue silk worn with a petticoat of white taffeta batiste. This takes us back to the days when grandmam' ma was young.
 When we speak of short coats you must not imagine we refer to cor set-tight designs. By no means. many of the briefer jackets are semi-htting, there are short empires. there are countless boIeros. And even the blouse is not wholly banished- We should say it is the three-quarter wrap that goes in for the close ft, that jackets and evening wraps are as a rule loose. But. as we suggested above. there is no absolute rule as to the pedestrian costume; one sees many a weIl-dressed woman trudging along in long automobile togs, rain proof. and dust-proof: then there is the girl with the circular skirt and I rIose isrkst: and many a medium. length skirt and half-loOse jacket is met with Equally well dressed and suitably dressed may appear the Eom. an with the redingote suit Fashion does not dictate in this regard with her usual positiveness.

the chamois. A girl who neglects cleanliness in the daily toilet of the hands and nails IS either indifferent to bathing and to the proper care of the body, or else her early surround ings have been unfortunate. Ob- serve, girls, that lady's hands may be rough or red, but they are in- variably immaculate. Clean hands are the hall-mark of a gentlewoman.
 Ink stains may be removed by the use of pumice stone, by lemon juice and salt, or by dipping sulphur match into rain water and rubbing 1t on the stain. Fruit stains may be removed by holding the fingers in the fumes of a sulphur match.
 New that I have said all this about beautiful hands, want to add some thing else, which is just as important as any of the rest. No hand that Is not womanly will ever have clam to be regarded as charming or ex- quisite. Womanly hands are those which are engaged in kind offices for those one loves. The girl who Is helpful unselfish, generous and kind, is the one whose hands will deserve most praise.
 I must add a word, too, about the cordial hand-clasp. Some girls have
 a limp, fiabby way of shaking hands.
 They really have no grip. Others go to the opposite extreme, and almost crush a friends hand when they grasp it. There is a happy medium in this,
 as in most things. When you meet
 a friend in the street or at your home. it is very seldom necessary to greet her with a kiss. Almost never should one girl kiss another in 8 public place. The only exception is { when friends are separating for long time or for a journey. such as cross ing the Atlantic or the continent. Then kisses are in order. Usually, IL is enough to shake hands when one encounters friends or acquaintances, and the hand-clasp should be warm and sincere.
 Do not rush to fads in hand-shak- ing. Several years ago there was a fashion of elevating friends hand in
 rather abrupt perpendicular way, which had an extremely awkward ef- , feet. That style is now obsolete. Ill your own home do not greet visitors with a mere stiff bow. Offer your
 hand. You have, of course. the priv iIsge of refusing to shake hands with person you dislike. or with one Of
 whom you do not approve. "The hand of Douglas is his own" :" but one can hardly offer a greater
 slight than to refuse or overlook a proffered hand.

broadeloth with hat to match is fine for winter weather, and may be worn by almost anyone, by blond, brunette, ''half-and-half."
 The invisible plaids in green and blue blendings are among the best street suits, and these are seen both in redingote style and short jacket The better ones are either close or more than semi-ftting, plaids not dressy enough for the voluminous wrap. In regard to veils. we think preference is given to the veil match ing the hat, whether or not dress and hat match. A green veil is unbecom- ing to the average woman. with the blue and green plaid the blue veil is the choice. Gloves are unobtrusive, one notices fewer colored ones than early prophecies led us to look for

THE RUSSIAN REVOLT
A New Reign of Terror Sweeps
 Over Moscow.
THOUSANDS FALL AT BARRICADES
Machine Gums Play Havoc With Re. evolutionary Mobs - City of the Kremlin Is the storm
 Center Now.

Center Now.
 LONDON, Dec. 26.-Dispatches from Moscow say that for four days fight. ing between strikers holding barricades on the streets and the troops has con. tinued, with scenes of carnage and desolation.
 At an early hour this morning the casualties at Moscow were estimated at 5000 killed and 14000 wounded, with the fighting still proceeding.
 The sweeping fire of machine guns that is constant on the streets, the charge of cavalry and infantry at every point have their awful effect in wholesale bloodshed, but the numbers of the strikers do not seem to diminish.
 The people feel that if Moscow can maintain it's stout resistance it will be only a short time when St Petersburg will rise and then the entire country.
 The fighting has assumed the nature of butchery by the machine guns of the artillery, grape and canister being employed mercilessly against the i'll armed insurgents.
 Atrocious tales are told of the Cos sacks, who, piled with vodka until drunk, fired down the streets, some times charging with lances. The insur- gents displayed great stubbornness in holding their barricades, even advanc- ing in a mass to the slaughter. At the same time bombs were thrown from the windows of houses near the barri- cades occupied by the revolutionaries.
 Artillery was summoned and batter ed the houses to pieces. The plan of the insurgents, it is stated, is to hold the outskirts and gradually inclose the troops in the center of the city. Lead CTS announce that an army of 30,000 is concentrated at Orechoffsueff, north east of Moscow, and will soon be ready to march to the city's assistance. The streets at night are in absolute dark ness save for searchlights in the towers of bivouacks behind the barricades.
 A Riga dispatch says that the rail road employees throughout the Baltic provinces are on strike.
 At Warsaw the strike of the post and telegraph employees is at an end. The strikers have accepted the conditions of the government. and the telegra- phers have resumed work.
 Moscow is concentrating all effort to plunge Russia into civil war. The next forty-eight hours will decide whether the government or the revolutionists will triumph. Moscow is the storm center, and, though the government professes to believe that the revolu- tionary movement will fail for lack of arms and ammunition, indications of a gradual welding of the disorganized mob under a new and powerful leader seem to prove that the cause of loyal ty to the czar is waning in the ancient capital.
 saA general political strike is on in Odessa. The garrison maintains pas sive attitude, and grave fears are en- tertained that the city will fall com pletely into the hands of the revolu- tionists. The inhabitants are panic stricken.
 In Warsaw the Socialists have issued proclamations to the people calling to armed rebellion.
