Many of the long aprons are variously
shaped at the throat. Some have shallow
but circular yoke effect, others a pointed
outline, and the fashionable square yoke is
also noticeable. The depth of this splicing
is a matter Of personal choice, Now that we

Materials and Practical Trimmings
Surprises are sure to come when choosing
materials, as many fabrics heretofore never
employed are among the desirable ones to-
| day.
Who in this world, for example, would
think of employing gayly fowered cretonne,
the lighter weight of course, for aprons?
Yet this is precisely what little bride-to-
be has done and the result is charming.
She intends this apron for just light work,
and as a sewing apron it is very attractive.
1t is oblong in shape with rounded sides and
curved bib, edged with narrow frilling Of
cretonne
Linen of various qualities is a standard
material. Blocked linen toweling in colors
is especially attractive when piped with
plain colored linen or sateen. One of this
description is shown in the upper right hand
corner. The buttons are covered with red
linen In the opposite corner the apron is
of percale with blue flowers, piping of blue.

attractive aprons, Denim, especially in dark

aprons for rough hOusework. The light

Attempt To Rob Bank of Valdez and Burning
 Of Property

by the fire whistle in time to wit ness the destruction of $50, ,OOO worth of property, and after the fire was under control 1t was dis covered that an attempt had been made to loot the safe of the Bank of Valdez.
 The fire started in tEe mercan- tile department of the Valdez Bank X Mercantile Co.,, and before 1t was seen the whole interior of the building was in flames. The blazs spread rapidly, and in spite of the hard work of the department it was evident from the first that there was no chance of saving the bank, store or hotel building, and for time it appeared that the whole town from Keystone to the bay would be wiped out Fortu- nately there was no wind and there was bout an inch of snow on U e roofs so that though there was a shower of burning cinders falling all over town no fires were started by them.
 In half an hour the nain build. ings we're practically destroyed and the department devoted their eff forts to preventing the fire from spreading toward Mckinley street. in this they were successful, and by sig o'clock all the fire with the exception Of the embers of the ru- ined building, was out.
 About this time 1t was discov- cred that there was hole Tn the back of the vault which inclosed the safe of the Bank of Valdez. For some time after the discovery the heat was so intense as to pre- vent an investigation as to whether or not the safe had been opened, anu the excitement was great until Robert Ferguson en- tered the vault through the hole, and found the safe unopened.
 The robbers gained access to the vault from 8 coal shed in the rear. took out bricks enough to allow them to enter, and then knocked off the knob of the safe preparatory to blowing the door. For some reason the charge was not fired and they left without securing any booty.
 The losses as given by the differ nnt concerns involved in the fire, arc as follows, V. E. & NJ. Co.,, S25.00C, Poot & Davis $2O,OOO, V. l.. & T. Co., 5000. There was no insurance on the hotel and only a portion of the store property was covered. All of the bank books were saved. Some of the hotel fixtures were taken out and all of the furniture in the annex was

 Material for the construction of the annex, which will contain 25 more rooms, has been wired for and work viii be rushed on the new building as rapidly as possl- blc.
 Marshal Lathrop states that the reason the bank robbers were una ble to succeed in their endeavor to open the bank safe was probably on account of the hardness of the outer casing. They started to drill 1t, but only got hole 1-32nd of an inch and undoubtly quit on account of the slow progress they were making instead of be- cause they were scared away. It IS the general impression that they fired the store expecting that the heat would wreck the vault and destroy all evidence of the robbery.

The broad lawns about Warwick
Castle on the Avon river are to be the

one hundred times as interesting as
any circus that an American child has
ever seen. The sleepy old English

1000 of the boys and girls and men

Humaneness In Warfare.

Humaneness in warfare has made.
great progress since the days of the
great warlord Napoleon l. When Ma
poleon, in October, 1905, demanded
the surrender of the fortress of Ulm,
in which $4,000 Austrians were cut off
from the outside world. he reminded
the commander of the capture of Jaffa
by assault, when he could not prevent
his soldiers from killing all the de-
tenders.
While he was a prisoner on Saint
Helena he thought quite different
from what he did in practice, for he
wrote: "Rien nest plus propre a
resorganiser ct perdre tout-a-fait
une armee." He probably learned this
in Russia, where the lack of discipline
as much as the climate was to blame
for the disintegration of the grand
army. Napoleon condemned plumber
not from a humane but from a dis
ciplinarian standpoint.
In general order issued Aug 8,
1870, Emperor William l. said: I'VE
do not carry on war against the peace
full inhabitants of the country, and
it is the duty of every soldier to pro-
tect property and to uphold the honor
of our army"
During the Russo-Japanese war, the
Japanese soldiers were repeatedly ac-
cused of cruelty against Russian
prisoners and wounded, but these ac-
cusations were never proved, and in
nearly all cases the cruelties were
committed by Chinese bandits, who
hated the Russians since the time of
the Boxer uprising.
The accusation made by the Japan
csc that Russian soldiers on July 10,
1900, drove 400 Chinese into the Amur
has never been proven, though it is
generally believed by the Chinese and
has been incorporated in one Of the
Japanese war songs; and because they
did not expect any mercy themselves,
the Japanese during the first weeks
of the war killed even the wounded.
This did not last long, however, and
as early as October, 1904. Gen. Kuro-
patkin spoke with admiration of the
courage and blameless behavior of the
Japanese, which made the war "the
most pleasant in which he had ever
taken part"
In July, 1904, the commander of the
Russian forces telegraphed from Muk-
den to st. Petersburg: I'm number
of cases it has been proven that many
Japanese dressed as Chinese peasants
follow the Russian troops in the
mountains and signal to their country
men in the army. An order has there
fore been issued to shoot these spies.
Japanese were also responsible for
many of the attacks made upon the
Russian railroads, and only because
of the fact that every one caught by
the Russian soldiers was shot did the
Russians succeed in preventing the
destruction of the Trans Siberian rail-
road.
On Sept. 80, 1904, the Japanese shot
man dressed like Chinese, but
who before his execution was proved
to be Russian soldier. Ralbow. of the

Gold.

The first mention which we have of
gold is in the eleventh verse of the
second chapter Of Genesis. or in other
words four thousand and four years
before Christ. Gold was used as
money by the ancient Egyptians at
very early date. Herodotus tells that
the invention of the COINAGE ot gold
belongs to Lydia, about $50 B. c. Au-
thorities conflict about the first COIN
age of gold. Some say it was Miletus.
and some the Persians, but there are
no records to show just when.

JUNE CLOUDY
Twenty One Cloudy or Partly
Cloudy Days in June With
Rain on Is DAYS.

The figures of the weather observer
at the university on June weather are
at hand. These figures show that dur
ing the month in question there were
twenty-one cloudy and partcloudy days
and rain thirteen days. An employee
of the Evening Times checked off the
number of days when rain fell, and ac-
cording to his figures there were nine
teen days when rain fell in more or
less quantities. His readings, how
ever, were not taken at any stated
hour of the day, which possibly ac-
counts for the variance.
So far as rain fall is concerned,
there were few heavy rains and the
total precipitation was less than for
June 1905.
