MEXICAN WAR
VETERANS MEET
Sixty Years Ago Our Army En-
tered Capitol.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14-(Spec-
al)-Associated Veterans of the
Mexican War took part today in what
will probably be their last great cele-
bration on the Pacific coast, the oc-
casion marking the siXtieth anniver-
sary of the last battle of the Mexican
war and the entry of General Win
field Scott and the United States army
into the city of Mexico, September IA,
1847. The exercises were held at the
Preside and were under the aus
pices of the United States army and
navy, Veterans of the Mexican War,
Spanish War Veerans and the Grand
Army of the Republic.
A movement has been launched to
bring about a regular annual obser-
vance of this day, and Mexican war
veterans hope that September IA may
be set aside as a regular national holt
day Colonel John A. Lundeen, com
handing the Preside post, was in
charge of today's observance, having
meen detailed for that purpose by
General Frederick Funston, command
ing the department of California.
One of the features of the occasion
was the exhibition for the first time
of a portrait of General Winfield
Scott, which was painted in the city
of Mexico shortly after the occupation
of that capital by the conquering army
of the United States. The portrait is
the only one now in existence of the
intrepid "hero of Lundy's lane and
Chippewa" and is now the property
of Colonel John l. Bromley, of Oak
field. 1t was painted by West, one Of
Mexico's most famous artists, who
himself was a native Of the United
States.
Today's celebration was not merely
that of battle, but the anniversary
of the last of a long string of victories
that won for the United States that
undisputed title to the conquered ter
ritory of California, Nevada, Utah,
Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and
Arizona When the Stars and Stripes
were raised over the halls of the Mon
tezumas General Scott announced to
the world the final conquest of an en-
pire.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Autumn
fashions are now coming to the front
and many of the new styles are ex-
ceedingly pretty The tailored suits
should be mentioned first because
they have such an important part in
the fall wardrobe. Stripes are decid-
edly in favor for all tailormades and
are seen particularly in broadcloth,
which, by the way, is as popular as
ever, for it is suitable for both dressy
and plain costumes. Black and white
promises to be a leading color in
stripes. The monotony Of black and
white is often relieved by trimmings
of rhodedendrom pink, peacock green,
wedgwood blue or the Vaticanpurple.
The shadow check is the very latest
design for broadclOth.

Thin Velvet the Thing.

Velvets are to be worn this winter
more than ever before. The new vel
vet is as thin as messaline and is call
ed velour Salome" This is very
soft and pliable and leaves nc trace of
creasing after it has been folded or
wrinkled. The chiffon velvet, which
will be used as much as last season,
will be produced in Oriental designs,
with colorings of the rainbow. The
Roman stripe is sure to be popular for
the effect of the colors which are
quiet in tone, makes it very artistic.
The silk and velvet stripes combined
makes an attractive material for au-
tum.
Linen suits viii be worn through
the fall, as this goods can be bought
in heavy weight as we'll as in the light
weights, which makes it suitable for
cool weather. Many separate linen
coats are lined with plaid taffeta and
are very pretty for motoring or park
wear.

The Swell Things In Shoes.

1t is said that brown shoes will be
worn more than ever this winter.
Pumps continue to be popular for
women who can wear them. The tall
brown shoe fastened with buttons of
a light color are very smart. A brown
shoe is always comfortable, it wears
well and keeps it's shape better than
a black one, so this is a very practi-
cal style.
Such pretty blue or violet silk coats
are made to wear over white gowns.
The color should be carried out in the
parasol and the great dropping
white hat may be trimmed with orch
ids which cover the crown, and the
brim lined with violet velvet Long
gloves of the orchid tent should be
worn with this,
The vest or waistcoat has become
an important part of the tailored cos
tunes. The new checked pique is
favorite material for a vest, and Gre
tonne is still fashionable. White satin
embroidered in a conventional Orien-
tai design in brown, dull blue or gray,
and outlined with gold thread is a
late novelty Another style which is
equally as pretty is of black satin en-
broidered in Japanese stitches and
colors, with much gold thread inter-
mingled
Long tight-ftting or semi-fitting
coats reach almost to the shoetops,

Flower Trimmings.

The one worn by Paris women is
the mushroom. 1t is modified in vari-
Gus ways, but it has the drOOp and is
worn on the back of the head over a
most elaborate couture. The bandeau
has entirely disappeared, so it is quite
necessary to wear the hair pulled to
fill out the space under the brim. The
flowers that trim these hats are GER
tainly beautiful. Such natural looking
white lilies, orchids, morning glories,
pelunias dahlias and nasturtiums are
made that It is hard to distinguish
them from the real flowers.
Ostrich plumes are to be uncurled
this season and they are developed in
many different ways. What are call
ed lobster" feathers is the very new
est effect The plume is taken apart
and the separate fiues are sewed on
ribbon The immense white coque
plume with its wide quilts seem to be
a late favorite, and he paradise feath-
ers share popularity with the ostrich
plume.
The new collars are ridiculously
high, some of them reaching four
inches. Many of them are pointed
under the ears as the fashion was
eight or ten years ago. They must fit
perfectly, and it takes a very skilled
hand to bone them correctly.

BOISE, Oct. 9.-The attorneys being
unable to agree among themselves, the
matter of postponing the trial of Pet
tibone was taken up in the court to-
day before Judge Wood. who presided
at tho Haywood trial.
The defense continued its tactics of
trying to force the state to grant bail
for the prisoner. Unless bail is grant
ed, the attorneys declare, they will go
on with the trial, even IL 1t cost Pet
tibone his life.
The COURT ruled that the matter of
bail was separate from the postpone
ment and would be taken up after the
original matter was disposed of. The
whole matter went over until tomor-
