TAooART is GIVEN DECREE.
Court Also Awards the Captain Custod
of the Children

of the Children.
At Wooster, Ohio, Captain Gilmore
r. Taggart, U. S. A., was awarded a
decree of divorce from his wife, Grace
Culver Taggart. and given possession
of TIER two children, Charles Culver;
aged IL, and Elmer T., Jr., aged Z.
The sensational case which has stir
red army circles both in this country
and Europe reached its finale Friday
afternoon when Judge Eason, who
heard the evidence, read long opin-
ion.
The court, though denying Mrs.
Taggart the custody of the two boys,
ordered that she be permitted to see
them at stated intervals In this re-
spect alone was Mrs. Taggart given
much consideration.
Judge Eason clearly leaned to the
theory that the mother was not fit
person to whom 10 intrust her off
spring. Among the causes for reach
ing this conclusion was Mrs. Taggart's
alleged intrigues with BILLY" Taggart
and with Captain Fortesque, said to
be relative of President Roosevelt.
The court censured both woman and
men severely.
Judge Eason had good deal to say
about the use of intoxicants, and said
that the charge of excessive drunken
ness preferred against Captain Tag
CART had not been sustained The
habit of imbibing frequently was a
subject Of comment, however, and
evidently the court believed that ii
played a part in the alienation of the
couple.
THE first time Captain Taggart saw
the flush of liquor on his wife's brow
he should have banished it from his

Incompetent stenographers.

The business of stenography and
typewriting has been injured, accord
ing to a recent writer, by the large
number of young women who are at
tracted to it by the plea SAINT conditions
which surround the work rather than
by the work itself. Business men who
have ceased hoping to find women
stenographers worth high wages now
pay poor wages, and have thus made
the occupation less attractive to wom-
en- with a fair education. There still
remains, however, an urgent demand
for women who are worth twenty,

ANNuL MARKETS CONTRACT
Canal Supplies Will Be Handled Undel
Com ulissiouer3s Order

Canal Supplies Will Be Handled Under
Com missioner's Order.
The last action of the Panama canal
commission before sailing from Colon
for New York was the annulment of the
contract awarded to ]. e. Markell of
Omaha, Neb., for feeding and caring for
the employees of the canal. The reason
for this action is that Chief Engineer
Stevens, through the department of ma
terials and supplies, under Messrs. Jack
son and Smith, is handling the commits
saries successfully, rendering unneces-
Sary the arrangement.
The contract with Mr.. Markell was to
run five years and it was estimated that
it would involve $50,000OO0. Hudgins
& Dumas, one of the other firms bidding
for the contract, protested against the
award 20 Mr.. Markell, alleging favorit-
ism and charging that the latter was
enabled through a leak in the office of
Chairman Shontz to gain information
about the other bidders which aided him
in bidding successfully.

Put a Rug in the Cellar.

Every housekeeper who makes CON-
mon use of the cellar knows that dirt
is often tracked from the cellar up into
the house-this is especially true if the
cellar has dirt floor. Much work
may often be avoided by lacking a
piece of old carpet ON the lower step
of the cellar stairs. When starting up
the steps it is easy to wipe the feet on
the carpet instead of carrying up the
dirt, and the carpet may frequently be
taken out and shaken and then tackled
down with a few tacks again.

Fashion Notes.

The plain gored skirt is becoming
more popular.
Wash fannels are out in hundreds
of new designs.
Ribbons trim everything from hat to
the slipper toe.
Fashion declares we must array our
selves in stripes.
Even real lace is now embroidered
with colored silk thread.
Many of the embroidered trimmings
are coarse but effective.
The mixing of many colors is still
strong feature at the milliner's.
A very silky make of alpaca is used
for tailor-made gowns and others.
The short kimonos look much like
japanese coats, and fasten with little
silk frogs.
Some of the handsomest chiffon
gowns are trimmed with stitched
straps of cloth.
Velvet ribbons are much used, par
ticularly to run through the wide
quillings of the tulle skirts.
Silk net dresses in blue, brown, gray
! or plum are trimmed with strappings
and picked-out ruches of taffeta.
New shades of red open work stock
ings, with Morocco SHOES to match,
are the smartest footwear shown for
children.
The classic knot, low on the nape Of
the neck, may be vastly becoming to
some women, yet thoroughly ugly for
! others
Shiny leather shoes are shown in
nearly all the costume coloring-rose,
bright green, lavender are among the
most startling.

grocer's and returned in company with
a dirty-looking boy and a truck. He
piled the trunks, portmanteaus and car

his load. which was to be kept until the
next morning, when Sigismund was to

had fallen upon them.

Take Care of Umbrella.

After coming in out of the rain, let
the umbrella down and stand it on
the handle that it may dry in this po-
sition; the water will thus drip from
the edges of the frame and the cover

When placed with the handle up

runs to the top of the umbrella, and
the moisture is thus retained in the
lining underneath the ring for some
