Is shown in chiffon brOadcloth with
turnover cuffs of heavy lace, a com
bination that always is satisfactory
and effective. The design, however,
is appropriate for all seasonable suit
ings, and when velvet is too heavy, silk
or any contrasting material that may
be preferred can be substituted. The
pOstillion with basque extension is sep
arate and can be used or omitted as
preferred.
The jacket consists Of the fitted lin
ing, fronts, back, vest and revers,
which are stitched to the fronts, their
under edges being extended to give the
stole effect. Both fronts and back are
box pleated and are joined to the belt.
The sleeves are arranged over Innings,
which are faced to form the cuffs, and
are full above the elbows, with roll
over flare cuffs that give an exceedingly
smart touch, but which can be re-
vcrsed, as shown in the small view
whenever preferred. The postilllOn
and basque are attached to the belt.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is five yards twenty

four inches wide, with one and three
fourth yards of all-over lace and one
and one-half yards Of velvet to make
as illustrated, and two and one-half
yards of silk for lining.

Potato BIiuht.

Potato blight, or the dying of the
leaves and vines before the crop is
mature, is commonly thought to be en-
tirely due to diseases which attack
the top Of the potato plant. We have
not found it so in Colorado. Spray
ing experiments with Bordeaux mix
ture did not materially lessen the
blight, and the microscopic plants
which cause these leaf diseases are
not commonly found associated with
this trouble. We conclude, therefore,
that tho premature dying of the pota-
to vines is usually an evidence that
the underground parts have been sew
erely injured by the fungus in ques.

Cloth skirts are this season worn
with velvet jackets. This is new idea
and one which bids fair to be decidedly
popular. This jacket, however, to be
in good style, must be one cut with
basques and to be quite elaborately
trimmed. The skirt is of broadcloth,
matching exactly the color OF the
jacket.

FIVE LIVES ARE LOST
AND THIRTY INJURED
Gigantic Wave Swept Deck of
Large Ocean Liner.
DETAILS OF TERRIBLE DlsAorER
While the Great Ocean Liner Was
Ploughing Its Way Through a Heavy
Sea, 1t Suddenly Lurched and Its
Decks submeroed by Water.

New York, Oct. 14.-Five lives are
known to nave been lost and more than
thirty persons injured, some of them
seriously on the Cunard steamer Cam
Dania last Wednesday when a, gigantic
wave rolled over the steamer and
swept across deck which was thick
with steerage passengers.
So sudden was the coming of the dis
aster and so great the confusion when
attended and followed it, that even the
officers of the steamer themselves we're
unable today upon the vessels arrival
here to estimate the full extent of the
tragedy. 1t is possible that the five
persons known to have been missing
from the steerage may not constitute
the full number of dead.
When the Campania reached quaTan
tine today ten of the injured Passengers
were still in the ships hospital, some
of them seriously hurt and a score OF
others were nursing minor injuries.
The Campania was plowing along
under full headway last Wednesday
afternoon A heavy quartering sea

tions were far from pleasant and the

passengers.

the big deck and the deck above and
carrying everything with it.
The steamers side was buried so
deep that the passengers on the deck
above the steerage were submerged
to their waists as the immense vol
ume of water rolled aft and then
surged forward
All the cabin passengers on the up
per deck succeeded in clinging to sup
ports While the water surged around
them, and were saved, but the unfor-
tunates on the steerage deck found
themselves utterly helpless
The irresistible rush of the waters
sweeping toward the front part of the
ship carried everything before it, Net

tiOns wnicl had been arranged to pre-
vent passengers being washed over
board, served their purpose only in
