Buying a Dress

Remember that the finish of a ready
made suit is the gauge Of it's worth. The
Innings simply must be good. Many ex-
penslve-lool1ing suits are delusions and do
not hold together because Of poor lin
ings. No first-class suit is masquerading
around with an appearance of style and a
cheap lining. Examine the collar, belt,
and seams. Look well into the finish Of
a buttonhole, and never let the smallest
detail Of the making escape your watch
ful eye. II your money is limited, risk
it all on the quality Of the cloth and this
finish and avoid trimmed suits. A cheap
suit, trimmed, will become wearisome to
your eyes. Unless you are possessed OF
much means and have a number of street
costumes, you should not wear an elab-
crate walking suit. They soon lose their
first false freshness and are never suit
able FOR early morning wear.
If, when planning the winter wardrobe,
you look over your stock OF summer
waists and find that they can be utilized
you will save that amount at least The

The Pony Cart

Seeing pony coats" for women's
wear one wonders if there is any ami
NAL, wild or domestic. whose hide does
not nowadays figure in complete stocks
of fur garments. They do marvellous
tricks in these times dressing and tam
ming skins, the toughest may be so
treated that they become soft. pliable
and adaptable. Still the cry for furs
its volume increased by automobilists,
is heard everywhere and the attempts
to respond, with satisfaction guaran-
teed promises to lead dealers into
strange haunts. Even the anaconda,
they say, is to be stripped Of his skin
for the purpose Of fashioning warm
coats. And II this contribution to the
furriers is well received, the girls con-
quer their aversion to snakes sufficient
ly to wear it, reptilian garments may
become so popular that Ireland won't
be the only snakeless country.

three on the sleeves; the sleeves may be
plain or with false cum, and there may
be a single deep vent in the middle back
seam, or vents in the side seams as one
prefers. The only really new idea OF the
season is to crease the side seams from
the sleeves down TO the bottom. so that
the back Of the coat hangs straight from
the shoulders, and, although perhaps not
a sine qua non Of fashion. the effect is
rather smart.-October Men and Women.

In the history of the Jews of America
the Jews Of South Carolina will be found
to play much more important part than
has hitherto been imagined. Their his
tory has till now been entirely unknown.
For the past five years the writer has
been steadily engaged in working in this
virgin field and in his exhaustive re-
search has brought to light numerous
documents of the greatest interest, bear
ing upon the early history of the Jews
in America. It is worthy Of note that the
settlement of the Jews in this state was
practically contemporaneous with the
settlement Of the colony and that the
Jew in South Carolina has never labored
under any civil or religious disability
whatsoever unique feature in the his
tory Of the British colonies. Space will
only permit notice of two early docu-
ments The first is the record of the nat
uralization of several Jews in 1897. The
circumstances that led up to these natur-
alizations were as follows:
After the revocation of the edict of
Nantes in 1855 a considerable number of
French Huguenots refugeed to South
Carolina. They had fled from persecu-
ton and at home and here they were
treated as aliens and denied the liberty
Of subjects. federation, however, was
the fundamental principle of the Con-
stitution, and when the Huguenots ap-
pealed to the lords proprietors to re-
dress their numerous grievances, as soon
as the temper Of the colonists permitted
the General Assembly passed for their
special relief an act for the making aliens
free Of this part Of the province and for
granting liberty of conscience to all
Protestants.
There were sixty-four men who were
made citizens under this act Of 1897 and
among them were four Jews Simon Val
entine, merchant; Jacob Mendis, mer-
chant; Avila, merchant; and --,
merchant, the name Of the fourth being
unfortunately obliterated in the original

by Solomon 1saacs and ''his good friend

After a conventional preamble, he
writes:

After making various bequests, among
which are "f1O lawful money of South

hand in washing or burying my

prayers to be said for him, he concludes:

TERRESTRIAL MAGNETISM
NOW MAGIC PASSWORD
Galilee Classified as pleasure Yacht
to Avoid Red Tape-Has Only 70
State Business.

Customs officers may not interfere
with the operations of the department
of terrestrial magnetism of the Car
negie Institute.
The Department of Commerce and
Labor has decided this question, and
the skipper OF the Carnegie ship Cali
lee will only have TO say Terrestrial
Magnetism" when he puts into u for
eign port, and he will not be bothered.
The Galilee is a merchant vessel
chartered by the Carnegie Institute for
the purpose Of making a new chart of
the North Pacific ocean. 1t has al
ready started on its cruise. which will
occupy three years. and will arrive at
Honolulu in a few days.
The reason il will be exempt from
entry and clearance at every port it
visits, whether domestic or foreign, is
that IL has been classified by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor as q
pleasure yacht" instead of a mer-
chantman. Congress has appropriated
SIS, 900 to help on with the work to be
done in the Pacific. and those in charge
of the expedition are anxious that IL
be known that the classification OF the
Galilee IS not quite accurate, being
made merely for the sake Of conven-
fence.
They look for hard work during the
next few days, but expect to accom-
plish something worth while for the
department of terrestrial magnetism.

Miss HoLJy's AssaJlant
Aided at Point OF Rocks
In Spite of His Brutal Crime He Is Assisted in
His Escape From JustiCe-May Be
in Virginia.

BOYDS, Nd, Aug. 26.-After scour-
ing Catoctin mountains near Point of
Rocks, where George Cobarth. the al
legged assailant of Miss Rose Holly, Of
Washington. was last seen at o'clock
yesterday afternoon and all throughout
the night up and down the canal be-
tween Brunswick and Point OF Rocks.
Sheriff Williams returned to his home
at Boyds this afternoon, stating that he
was unable TO locate Cobarth.
1t is supposed that after leaving Point
OF Rocks Cobart went up a little road
in the mountain side. He probably
doubled on his tracks and crossed the
canal a few hundred yards distant an
boarded a canal boat and went toward
Cumberland. hoping in this way to
throw off his pursuers.
He was recognized at Point of Rocks
yet Sheriff Williams says he entered
every house there and no trace OF him
could be found.
In the meantime the entire country
where he has been is aroused and the
story OF his alleged crime is spreading
AT Point of Rocks the citizens gave
him their support and he thanked them
for their efforts TO aid him. The peo-
pie here are aiding the sheriff all they
can by circulating the petition for q
reward. The petition has been signed
by many persons.
Miss Holly, who is also known TO heI
intimate friends as Miss Holmes. g

is resting quietly at the home Of

that Burton acted as attorney for the

that after being elected Senator he
turned over this Indian business to hIs

were indeed made to Burton after he
became Senator, they were all for ser

Not known Whether Sewer
Will Drain 1t.
MOSQUITOES BREED THERE
Claimed by Some That Land Is Full
of Springs and Drainage II
Impossible.
MOSQUITOES BREED THERE

No real test OF the efficiency of the
sewer which has been laid to drain
the water from the remaining portion
OF Death Lake the stagnant pond at
Fifteenth and II streets northeast, can
be had until there is a let-up IN the
heavy rainfall.
Several days ago the water had de-
creased in depth to about a foot. and
was down so close to the bottom of the
source of the pipe that il was running
out very slowly The heavy rains on
Friday filled the pool again. and yes
terday 1t was pouring out rapidly.
The size of the lake is large, and the
pipe so small that the process OF drain
ing is necessarily very slow. The para
mount question about the elimination
of the nuisance is whether the sewer
piue is low enough to carry the water
after il gets below foot in depth
Laid Second Sewer.
After the sewer to II street proved
a failure. the brick yard company. who
formerly occupied the property. laid the
second one to Bladensburg road. The
District Engineer surveyed the place
and reported that there was a fall OF
! two and one-h half feet from the bottom
of the lake to the main on Bladensburg
road.
The pipe was laid accordingly, but. as
it is now. the pipe appears TO be about
twelve or fourteen inches above the bed
OF the pool.
The residents in the vicinity are
watching the matter with great interest.
1t is OF the greatest Importance 10 them
that the place be dried up, as it has
been contended for some time that the
hole is menace to health, though the
part from which the nauseating odor

not entirely satisfactory TO these who
