seem to the uninitiated in the mysteries Of
modern dress to be strangely little differ
ence between the theater gown Of the win
ter and the garden party gown of the sum-
mer. but there is difference. and although
1t must be admitted that occasionally such
a thing has been known that one gown did
do duty for both occasions, 1t was marked
exception to the rule.
Lace gowns, chiffon gowns, velvet gowns.
silk gowns. satin gowns-all are to be seen
in the wonderful collection of evening
spangled laces, chiffon and lace made up
over cloth Of gold or silver furnish an un-
rivaled opportunity for fanciful taste to
run riot. And just here comes In good taste
that these most beautiful and artistic mod
els shall have a quiet elegance and individ-
uality that make them distinctive. With the
Identical materials that would be suitable
in the low-cut ball gown the effect must be
different, not only because the gown Is cut
high In the throat, but because Of the gen.
eral style thereof. Black and white effects
are most popular and the velvet trimmed
black lace and net gowns made up over
white or pale gray are most charming. All
white lace gowns, two or three different
kinds Of lace combined, are most effective,
and as they are now fashioned do not look
quite the same as those worn last summer.
=
The light colors Of velvet in the elaborate
models are in many different shades and
the trimmings are in accord. Silver and
steel trimmings and always the hand en-
broidery in silk stand out effectively against
the velvet, while the natural sheen Of the
material seems but to intensity the beauty
Of the coloring. Again, the pale grays show
to advantage, while the chiffon, chiffon
cloth and chiffon velvet are all combined.
There are many varieties of satin and satin
finished cloths that are made up for the
more elaborate gowns, but be it understood
the satin gown OF today has nothing in COM
mon with the satin gown Of olden times-it
u.s. in fact, more often a satin finished ma
terial. in crepe de chine and much lighter In
weight than the ordinary satin. A charming
shade of coral red Is a favorite color, and
while the skirt is rather plain the waist is
trimmed with passementerie the same color
and the yoke and collar are of heavy cream
net. In description this coloring seems
crude; in reality 1t Is effective and not too
much Of q contrast.
The chiffon and cloth gowns, satin finish,
are the most elaborate Of any; the entire

EPSON Salts.
From the London Chronicle.

trOm the LONDON Suronicie.
The use OF EPSON salts in the adultera-
ton of boot leather VIII have been a novel
ty to most people who know the salts only
as a medicine. They have been extensively
used, however. in the weighing Of cotton
cloth, and also as top-dressing for clover
hay. EPSON salts come from all parts of
the world, and have even been got from
sea water, though they retain the old name
which commentaries their extraction from
the mineral springs of EPSON in the seven
teenth century. Scientifically, they are sui
phate Of magnesfa; 1t was only the errand
boy Of the chemist juror in Bardell v. Pick
wick who had an impression that EPSON
salts meant oxalic acid. That, of course.
is the classic reference to the new boot
adulterant in literature, unless we are to
reckon the apocryphal epitaph:
Here lie I and my three daughters,
Died Of drinking Cheltenham waters;
II we had stuck to EPSON salts,
We shouldn't be now in these here vaults.

for a decade has, in the cause of true
Democracy. pleaded the promptings of
his majestic mind, encouraging his
countrymen in the days of trial and
tribulation as did Columbus the
mariners on the troubled sea, saying:
Sail on, sail on. sail on, the craft will
yet ride triumphantly to the lea.'
Recognizing in him the embodiment
of the principles of Democracy with
outstretched arms, he is today hailed
and welcomed as the leader of lis party,
and though twice defeated, by means
corrupt and weapons befouled, now
bidding defiance to their power, he who
led Democracy's brave battalions in the
memorable campaigns of 1896 and 1900,
lives the loftiest and in the hearts of
the American people the best beloved
OF them all.
"That he may live to see the triumph
of the cause and answer the peoples s
call to the helm of state, leaving an
official record as stainless as that of his
private life, we IL hope.
He may rest assured that in the
sunset of his political career he may
fittingly emulate Henry Clay in calling
to God in heaven to witness that he
had served his country with a single
heart and never held her interests sub
ordinate to his own

CLUTCHES BARS
UNDER ENGINE
Rides From Saugus at Terrific Speed,
Unable to Catch Breath-Fran-
tic When Released From
Perilous Perch

For one hour last night a soldier.
who gave the police the name of Jim
OConnors, held to the cross-bars un-
derneath an engine which was speeding
at the rate of sixty miles an hour from
Saugus to Los Angeles.
From Burbank to Los Angeles the
frantic man lay underneath the "cow-
catcher" on the engine unconscious,
not being able to get a good breath of
air on account of the great speed at
which the engine was travelling.
He was found underneath the frame
work after the locomotive had stopped
at the car shops ol Lamar street and
when he was dragged from underneath
and got a breath of air he became
frantic, frothed at the mouth and acted
as IL he were insane.
When taken to central station the
man was in a precarious condition and
said he remembered little of the ride
after he got on the train at Saugus
but that he could get his breath with
difficulty.
FROM papers carried by the eX-Soldier
1t was found that he had been dis
charged from the Fifth infantry COM
pany at San Francisco, and from
newspaper clipping in his pocket it
was learned he had attempted to COM
NIT suicide at Bakersfield last Satur-
day night by taking iodoform in the
Palace dance hall
In speaking of the attempted suicide
OConnors said he did not attempt to
take his own life but would not saw
what happened.
The man was not detained by the
police and did not seem to be badly
injured

BY Associated Press.

By AssOciAted BreSs.
SAN FRANCISCO June 27.-Reln-
surance contracts have made bad
mess Of the local situation and so dis
tincty have its bad features been
brought to the attention of the insur-
ance men that with almost unanimous
accord they have declared they will
have no more of Il.
The San Francisco fire has convinced
the bigger companies that they need
all Of their own strength, and that the
small companies must shift for them
selves for the future.
Among the companies which, It is
said, declared their intention of can
ceiling oil of their reinsurance con-
tracts throughout the entire country
are the Continental, the Aetna. the
Home Of New York, the London, Liv-
erpool & Globe. the North British &
Mercantile of London and Edinburgh
London & Lancashire and the Fidelity
Fire Insurance company of New York
The reason given by these companies
for this change in their method of do
ing business is that by reinsuring a
company gives good security and ac-
cepts bad security therefor.

Platform Adopted
1.-THE Democratic party in Pennsyl-

tion assembled, declares:
I'VE congratulate the country upon
the fact that the only prominence
which the present Republican national
administration has attained has been
achieved by feeble and pretended APP
plication of the principles annunciated

Democratic commoner, who is now re-
garded as the certain successor of
Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency.
"All important reforms the Republi-
can pla torn advocated have been con-
sistently declared for and supported
by the Democracy of the state for
many years.
I'VE therefore repeat the declara-
tions If our aims and purposes when
we again affirm that we stand as ever
for the rule of the people. in county,
state and nation, as against the feder-
ated tyranny of organized greed and
corrupt political and commercial man
ipulators."
The platform urges improved elec-
tion laws; favors complete and
rigid regulation of all corporations en-
gagged In public service; the prohi-
bition of transportation by companies
engaged in the mining of coal and
other minerals or the manufacture OF
any commodities in the transportation
of which they are engaged as common
carriers denounces the giving Of re-
bates; favors such change I'm the food
laws 'as Will insure the protection of
the public health" and favors "strict
prohibition by civil and criminal enact
ment of all contributions by corpora
tions to parties. organizations commit
tees or individuals for political pur-
poses"

NEW YORK, June 27-Harry X.
Thaw, who killed Stanford White on
Madison Square Garden roof Monday
night is, in the opinion of experts
engaged by the district attorney, per-
fectly sane.
This report was rendered by alienists
after they had talked with Thaw for an
hour today.
Mrs. Thaw saw her husband in the
Tombs, after a tussel with the alien
lists. The meeting was affectionate
and they talked together about fifteen
minutes. Thaw looked haggard and
his wife much distressed.
1t is learned from a Trustworthy
source that the plea of insanity would
be interposed merely because it is the
most convenient peg upon which to
hang facts in the case.
Dual Life to Be Shown Up
The evidence which the defense will
endeavor to get before the Jury will
relate to Whites friendship for Evy-
lyn NesbitThaw and an effort will be
mace TO snow the dual life which White
had been leading.
The thing which the defense hopes
to show made Shaw a raving maniac
just before he shot White was that
White had not only rendered uues
tionable help to his wife before mar
riage, but that after the marriage he
could not resist the temptation to boast
of his former achievements in a way
that made Mrs. Thaw's name a byword
about town.
The only fear the defense now has is
that the district attorneys investiga-
ton may prove Thaw insane. District
Attorney Jedome could then order him
sent to the asylum for the criminal in
sane.
1t was learned today that Thaw's
counsel feels sure of a speedy acquit-
tai before a jury and that they would
regret to see the district attorney have
him committed to Matteawan

scribed for the relief of San Francisco
sufferers had been kept here instead of
being applied at once toward helping

He was overruled by the committee
however after one of the hottest series
