THE EXTRAVAGANT GIRL.
\ Word About Spending Money and
 Buying New Gowns.

How many housekeeping women are always in debt to the grocer and per haps tie butcher as well? They run a bill and have the purchases marked down in a book, and on this plan great deal more is bought than if cash were paid. Many women merely send certain sum on account each Satur- day, and they are always in the butch CTS and grocer's debt. Under these circumstances they do not question ei- ther the price or the quality. They go on blindly and waste $5 or $1O week just in this one way. Men are often heavy spenders and often they gamble, but they get return of some sort for their money in enjoyment or in sport. They rarely put money into the pockets of tradesmen as women do, says Kate Masterson in the Philadelphia Press Women. like so many savages, are caught by the glitter of bargains and fill their homes with hideously ugly stuff. They buy clothes when the sea- son comes around without going over their present wardrobe and ascertain ing what it IS they really need. Ere Quently new gown Is purchased when there Is one already on hand that would do nicely for another season. but the new gown Is the newest thing, and 1t Is put on for all occasions, even in the rain, and by and by 1t hangs, half worn and shabby, with the others. So the ex- travagant girl accumulates a supply of useless hats, wells, gloves, hosiery. none of 1t really worn out, but none of 1t fit to pack for Journey on a short notice, as man can always do.

 lilies. each holding in the center smaller cupids. With the lights of mello whue. the scene made setting Of exquisite beauty for the guest com. pany. Souvenirs of dainty valentines were given the guests, by little Adele Bluthenthal, who was httired as Cupid, the god of love.

Buffalo. n Y, Sept. 24.-The day
before the state Democratic conven-
ton finds the party leaders still ap-
parently as widely apart as ever as to
the head of the ticket. A series of inn

Five candidates are most generally
spoken OF today with an equal num-
Der more remotely mentioned as pos
sible candidates The supporters of

he has the largest number Of in
structed delegates.

ork has held a number of conferences
today with some of the arriving dele
cations and his followers. Including
Mayor Mcclellan of New York city,
declare they are entirely satisfied with
the situation.

LOOK OUT FOR WEaTH HER
Two Big Storms Are Moving Toward
Each Other.

Washington. Sept. 24-Two great
storms are moving towards the east
from opposite directions. Prof. CARROT,
of the weather bureau, said today that
when they meet there win be a general
fall of rain in the middle and eastern
states.
One of the disturbances is another
West Indian hurricane, which was re-
ported to the weather bureau this morn
ing to be OFF the west end of the island
of Cuba The other is a rain storm now
prevailing in the northwest. The hurri-
cane is moving northward and the north
west storm is moving southward, so that
in the natural order of things they are
expected to meet and considerable dam
age is likely to result. The West Indian
hurricane is expected to reach the gulf
coast tomorrow or Wednesday.

Kansas City Turns Out to We'll
come First Steamboat
That Has Come Up the Missouri
in Ten Years.
THE WHISTLES BLEW.
And the Bells Changed in Honor
of the Event.
Regular Traffic as Soon as the
Boats Can Be Got.

Kansas City. Mo, Sept. 24.-With the
blowing of whistles, the changing of
bells and the glad acclaim of thousands
of persons who had gathered at the
river shore, the renewal of steamboat
traffic on the Missouri river after Il
lapse of more than a decade was cele-
brated today, when the steamer Lora,
laden with freight from St. Louis,
docked at the wharf in this city. Every
local craft of any pretension went sew
eral miles down the river to act as an
escort for the Lora, and the appearance
Of the fleet with the freighter in the lead
was the signal for one of the most gen
uine Outbursts of enthusiasm ever Oc-
casioned by any event in the CONNER
cial life Of this city. The successful trip
of the Lora under the most unfavorabie
circumstances, the river being excep-
tionally low and its channel unexplored
for several years, proved conclusively
that the Missouri is a navigable stream.
The movement to inaugurate a boat
line on the Missouri river originated in
this city four months ago and grew out
of the fight of Kansas City merchants
for reduced freight rates. All of the
commercial and civic bodies of this city
have aided In the development of The
plan and the towns between here and
St Louis have given their hearty CO.
operation. Many of these towns have
no railroad facilities and the new boat
line will afford them their only means
of transportation. Regular traffic will
be instituted on the river between here
and st. Louis just as soon as suitable
boats can be obtained.

CANNON NO CANDIDATE.
The Speaker says He Has No Notion
OF That Kind.

st. Louis. No. Sept. 24-Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon passed through St
Louis this morning. on his way to Sc
dalia to begin a campaign speaking tour
through the state.
Il am not a candidate for the presi-
dency and there Is no such bee in my
head" said the speaker. When the next
Republican convention meets it will look
over the records Of the men and viii
name the best man.
Il am out to do what I can with my
little mite toward electing Republican
members of congress to assure a Re-
publican house. for If the house is NOT
Republican there will be little chance
for a Republican candidate to be elected
president"
When asked about the Cuban sftua-
tion Speaker Cannon said
''Of course it would be bad taste for
me to say anything about the situation
in Cuba with the secretary OF state and
the president handling the situation
The United States will see that Justice
is done and the trouble ended
II think that Cuba is large enough to
take care or herself and could end the
trouble If the right steps were taken."

Cuban Government and Insur-
gents Enter Into Agreement.
To Stop Fighting Pending
PacificatOry Negotiations.
ALARMING REPORTS.
OF Lack Of Discipline in Ranks
Of the Rebels.
Preparations for Continuance
of the War in Progress.

Havana, Sept 24.-The first meeting of
the American mediators with the insur-
gents and liberals committee called for
this morning was again postponed on
account Of the illness of Pelayo Garcia,
one of the conspiracy prisoners, who had
been added to the committee. The meet
ing probably will be held this afternoon.
Much depends on the attitude of the
committee at tn first conference
Heavy rains are prevailing and the
insurgents are inclined to seek the bene-
fit of the armistice during the contin-
uance of the peace negotiations. Here
tofore there was merely verbal agree
ment without any definite terms. but a
document was prepared and taken yes
terday to the camps of General Guerra
and castillo, and these chiefs attached
their signatures to it. The document
was signed today by Acting Iecretary
of the Interior Aontalvo on behalf of the
government.
Alarming reports of the lack Of dis
cipline in the insurgent camps were
brought to Secretary of War Taft and
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon to-
day. Coming at a time when the pros
poets of peace looked the brightest,
these reports which are from the most
confidential sources and whether full
credence is placed in them or not the
confidence of the American commissions
in the insurgent leaders and in then
ability to guarantee the conduct of their
forces has been shaken. Despite the
truce the insurgents unquestionably are
preparing for continued warfare.
