United Commercial Travellers.
Last night the United Commercial
Travellers, an organization composed
OF representatives Of wholesale houses
in this and other cities, held a large
ly attended meeting in their hall

meeting was a special one, called to
enter a protest upon the discontin-

Porter, Of Grand Ridge, who is a
member Of the council, being present
and relating what had been accom-.

During the discussion of the mat:
ter 1t was stated and shown by those
who travel over the P. & A. road regu.
larly that the passenger traffic over
the line had almost doubled during
the past year, and that the com.
pany had no good reason for discon.
tinuing the service.
The council finally decided to ap.
point committee of five to call upon
the local superintendent and en-.
deavor to induce the company not to
discontinue the train, also to call upon
the merchants of the city to aid their
protest, and to correspond with the
council at Jacksonville to take SINH

Unless the action Of the Chamber
Of Commerce and the United CONNER
cial Travellers results In a change oil
mind upon the part of the officials
the service will be discontinued or

That is the intention Of the com
pany at the present time.

SOFA CUSHIONS.
A Novel idea Ia to Have Them Heart
Shaped and Large.

New ideas in sofa cushions are al.
ways welcome, for the average house
hold cannot own too many cushions to
suit the feminine members, though
there may be an occasional masculine
protest against an excess In supply.
The latest notion is to have one or two
cushions of heart shape resting on top
Of the ordinary square pillows, and the
result is very good, as the accompany

Serving ON Buttons.

When sewing on buttons, before you
lay the buttons on the garment, put the
thread through SO that the knot will be
on the right side That leaves 1t under
the button and prevents it from being
ironed or torn away. Before you begin
sewing. lay large pin across the but

After you have finished filling the
holes, draw out the pin and draw the
thread round and round beneath the
button. This forms a stem to sustain

SUBURB OF THEIR OWN.
Washingto Newspaper Men to Lay
Out Novel RurnI Retreat.

Wahhtngfcn Newspaper Men to Lay
out Novel RurnI Retreat.
Washington is about to have sub
urb like unto which there is nothing In
the records of things suburban. says
the Washington Post. Probably the
most remarkable thing about this sub
urb is that it is not going to be put on
the market. This is. not its only
unique feature, for it IS to have no
streets, and a man with a bank &C.
count Of more than three figures Will
not be welcomed within its limits.
It is to be truly rural suburb,
Ncorro{led by diminutive suburban
trust, apd If the plans Of its builders
naterfalize the cfYic millennium will
have been discovered and folks living
out Chevy Chase way will have a mod
ell settlement where great social prob
lens will have been solved, where there
will be neither, capital nor labor, where
politics will be an entity and the lion
and the lamb will lie down together.
The trust that Is about to give being
to this mysterious suburb Is composed
Of Washington newspaper men who,
with modesty that is paradoxicai, re-
quest that their names be not publish
ed. About six months ago, when Wash
ington generally was warming its feet
| at CRATE fires and steam radiators,
these men--six in number-bought a
part Of Clean Drinking manor, just to
the eastward Of Chevy Chase lake and
adjoining the estate Of Old Nick Jones.
The tract, twenty-three acres in all, is
covered with natural growth Of tim
BERN fact, It Is a veritable forest.
Tho Six newspaper men have divided
| the property, and each one Is preparing
to construct thereon a low, rambling
bungalow of logs, with rough shingle
roofs, broad porches, dormer windows
and all that sort Of thing.
Instead Of streets the boys have pro-
vided for typical country roads winding
through the trees, thus retaining to
marked degree the rustic effect. The
material for the bungalows will be cut
from the roadways and from the clear
ings for the building sites. The entire
tract is to be fenced in, little pathways
will be laid out under the pines and the
poplars and the elms, the wilderness Of
honeysuckIe will be left undisturbed
and the members of the suburban trust
will settle down far from the madding
crowd.
In order to assure thoroughly con-
genial community the boys will not let
any one else in on the deal except pos
sibly one or two mutual friends.

CHIEF SHAW DETERMINED
TO Suppress the Gambling At the Read

Boston. Aug. 3O.-Chief Shaw Of the
Massachusetts state police said today
that his department had no idea Of
abandoning it's attempts to secure con-
victions for the alleged gambling which
is being carried on at the Readville
race track. He said that his deputies
would remain at the track throughout
the Grand Circuit meeting and that
they would secure evidence which
would be acted upon at a later date.
Referring to the betting at the races,
Chief Shaw said: I'VE have had two
findings. one by Judge Grover. who de-
cided against pool selling and the reg
istration of bets. and another by Judge
Plimpton who ruled that the writing
of a horses name. the amount Of the
wager and the odds on a piece Of card
was not registering a bet. We think
we have a case in the Massachusetts,
book. an opinion Of the supreme court
which decides the point just the other

In certain quarters CapOte Is sus-

that the insurgents would make Capote
