That the sleeve often determines
tho style OF the garment is a we'll es-
tablishod fact and Just now when so
many OF the fancy sorts arc being
seen the statement is peculiarly true.
Here are three different styles OF the
over sleeves that can be utilized either
with the blouse sleeves illustrated or
with those already I'm the bodice, and
which are absolutely up to date, so
that they can be relied upon to give q
fresh touch to any gown that Is to be
rcmodeled as we'll as to serve for the
new ones. The blouse sleeve is APP
propriate for every thin material, and
there are three styles OF over sleeves
In the illustration the circular over
sleeve is made OF plain material
trimmed with applique and lace frills
while Il rs worn over embroidered
muslin; the full over sleeve Is made OF
silk with trimming of applique, and
is worn over plain lingerie material,
while the band sleeve Is a bit more
elaborate and Is made of silk and APP
plique with the full sleeve beneath of
O fancy net. Bat the possibilities OF
the models are almost limitless. Both
the circular and full over sleeve are
adapted to almost every seasonable
material, and the band sleeve can be
treated In lnnumerable ways. 1t can
be made plain or II can be trimmed
with banding OF any kind or embroid-
cry can be worked onto the material
or lace or embroidered motifs can be
Inset. 1t can be made to match the
gown itself or of the trimming mate
rial, and is so constructed that 1t can
be used with almost any bodice.
The blouse sleeve is made in one
piece, simply full and gathered into
straight band or cuff. Both the plain
and the full over sleeves are in one
piece each, but the plain one is with
out fulness at the shoulder while the
full one is gathered at that point. The
band sleeve also is in one piece, but
Is arranged over both sleeve and
waist. whereas the two former are

THE PRESIDENTS GREAT SPEECH.

President Roosevelt made a great
speech at the waterways convention
in Memphis last Friday afternoon.
1t was one of the best we have heard
in a long time. His remarks were
listened to attentively by the vast
crowd present, and no speaker ever
received more liberal applause and
genuine approval at the hands Of
his hearers. In fact, it was a good

SOME PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS.

Why should not Mississippi ex
empt from taxation all money loan
cd at SIX per cent. or less? Why
should not the state encourage en-,
terprlse, expansion and develop.
ment when the opportunity to do sc
is present and the seizing of il
works no hardships to anybody
Why should not the security of civil
and social order be firmly establish.
ed In the ownership of homes by
the people, such as this exemption
would encourage? Why should not
Investments in industrial under
taklngs be promoted by the assur-
ance of cheaper money with which
to launch and operate such enter
prise? Why should not the farmer
be induced to adopt improved and
more profitable methods Of farming
by giving him money at a low rate
OF interest for that purpose?
Every material interest of the
state would be promoted through
such a policy, and the revenues
would be materially augmented
from the increased property values
That cheaper money would produce.
The economies involved in the
proposition are so clear and simple
that we cannot understand the basis
OF any intelligent opposition to it.
1t is not exemption for the lender
OF the money; it relieves the borrow
er OF the burden of taxation upon
money that he employs for increas-
ing the general wealth of the state.
That tax in most of the cities, state,
county and municipal, amounts to
practically three per cent, and is a
distinct handicap to home building,
expansion and indus
trial development.
1t is to be hoped that the legisla-
ture, which meets in January, will
be enabled TO see this question in
Just proportion and guided by an
intelligent conception of the funda-
mentals of economy, will proceed to
the proportion Of the common well
fare in removing one incubus upon
enterprise and industry, by making
the exemption that is proposed.

cess in every particular. There
we're present President Roosevelt,
United States Senators, Congress
men and representative citizens
from every State directly interested

the enthusiasm manifested on every
hand was simply intense, and the
result Of the deliberations on this
occasion will ultimately give us the
desired government appropriation
with which to dig the fourteen-foot
channel from the lakes to the gulf.

the support of the proposition, and

those Who represent their fellcs
~citlzens in the affairs Of the nation
have little to distinguish them ex.
cept q glib tongue, a capacity fol
mixing and a certain subtlety and
mental shrewdness which, though
catchy, lacks the finer, ADLER and

knowledge.
Newspaper and magazine reading
are well enough. In one sense they
carry with them a liberal education,
disseminating a certain sort of
knowledge, thereby Frightening the
faculties and opening a pathway to
one or more doors Of the storehouse
OF wisdom. As a rule, however,
these show but one side of wisdom.
There are other paths leading to
other doors of this treasure-house.

less utilitarian, are in the long run
equally as important. and perhaps
more truly and genuinely useful to

reads these ways the richer the

PORTLAND PASSES
TRUST REGULATION
MOVE is NEW IN FIGHT ON COM
BINES
Ordinance Gives Municipality Far
Reaching Power-Prohibts Trade
Restraining Agreements and
Limitation of Production
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
PORTLAND, Aug. 15-Portland has
taken a step new among the cities of the
United States by passing an ordinance
for the purpose of regulating or suppress
ing trusts. At meeting of the council
the Belding ordinance, the provisions of
which will be far reaching if rigidly en-
forced, was adopted.
The municipality now is in possession Of
a weapon with which to fight the trade
combines. Interstate laws for control of
allied firms and corporations are many,
but so far as is known this is the first
time that city has essayed to take up
the cudgel and apply it to those who are
restraining trade and arbitrarily fixing
prices.
The following is a synopsis of Portland s
antitrust law:
1T is unlawful for any person. firm or
other organization to enter into an agree
ment the object of which shall be to re-
strain trade or commerce. to limit pro-
duction or increase or reduce prices; to
interfere with unrestricted competition to
preclude the sale of any commodity to
the consumer, merchants or to rebate any
part of the price of any article"
A fine Of from $50 to $500 and imprison-
ment not exceeding six months is pro-
vided as penaly for violation of the or
dinance.

and others expecting to greet the dis
tinguished financer, called at the local
offices of the Southern Pacific, the Salt
Lake and the Los Angeles-Pacific sys-
TENS and at tho Jonathan club they
failed to find Mr.. Hartman, who was
scheduled to reach Los Angeles yester-
day.
His special car was switched north
during the night on the o. r. & N. and
his visit to Los Angeles was delayed at
least a week.
Mr. Hartman has bought thousands
of acres in Oregon for a game preserve
and he will visit this pleasure place

jaunt purely one of pleasure.

Francis Joseph. The exchanges between
the two monarchs were cordial and GER
tain political matters were cleared up

Emperor Francis Joseph met his guest
at the Gmunden railroad station and
greeted him heartily. The emperor then
boarded the train which had brought the
king, and the suites of the two monarcns
were introduced.
The train bearing the two monarchs
came in at noon. This royal visit Is
marked with an entire absense of official
display. Thousands of the residents of

gathered along the route from the rail-
road station to the hotel, where the king
went and gave the emperor and his guest
a warm greeting.
King Edward was attired in the uniform
of a colonel of Austrian hussars. In
front of the hotel had gathered a group of
young girls dressed in picturesque Ischl

CHINESE DOWAGER MAY
SOON STEP FROM THRONE
Information from Shanghai Declares
She Will Yield Power to
Prince at Beginning
of Next Year
Special to Tho Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-The ascendency of
the grand old woman of China is on the
decline. According to dispatches received
here from Shanghai the rule of the dowa-
ger will terminate at the commencement
of the next Chinese new year, in Feb
ruary, 1908.
This will mean the resumption of the
scepter by the young emperor. whose
place she assumed in 189S Whether Tsi
Ans retirement will be sincere, or
whether it is merely a cloak to cover a
political move, is a subject of discussion.
Many well informed persons disbelieve
that the grasping and domineering, woman
would be content to take a place in the
background making room for the man in
whose place she has swayed for decade.
The reported unrest in China-an awak-
ening thought to be similar to that which
has occurred in Japan during the last half
century-may have caused her to desire
to nominally step down, leaving the prince
to foster the movement which she has
opposed, but toward which she is sup
posed to have had change of heart.
