WHEELING, Aug. 10. = United
States senatorN. B. Scott has return.
ed from a business and pleasure trip
through the southern part Of the State,
during which he did not discuss poll,
tics to any extent. He stated that the.
report that he was trying to further
the candidacy for the nomination for
governor Of Elliott Northcott Is not
true. Senator Scott stated that so
far as he can see there has been no
change in the gubernatorlal situation
from what 1t has been during the past
several weeks. G. W. swisher, he
says, is the only one making an active
campaign, but there are Others who

Senator Scott is suffering from a
sore eye, in which he caught cin-

the State, Senator Scott was in Wash

Double vote This Week

F. = b . q q
An opportunity will be offered this
week to do two weeks work In one, or
one weeks work in three days. On all
certificate votes a double count will be
allowed. Every certificate vote will
count Just twice as much as heretofore
for this week only, and this offer viii
be good until Saturday evening at 8
p. m. In this way a new subscriber
for year will be entitled to 5000
votes instead Of 5000 and so on down
the list, and 800 votes in each Of the
classes on $500 subscription, or 600
votes on mail subscription. A chance
to establish a new record is
offered. No extra votes will be al.
lowed on coupons from the paper
and they will be counted for FIVE votes
the same as formerly. This will give
the candidates starting in the second
and third districts good show for the
capital prize and 1t is not too late yet
for new entries in the race. All names
with less than 500 votes were dropped
to-day, but in case any whose names
are dropped desire to enter the race
their names will be retnstated and
credit will be given for the vote al
ready cast, provided, however, that
their total vote must be 500 or over
before new entries will be made.
There will be no advantage in hold
ing back vote until the end Of the
week, as they will count as much the
first of the week as the last.

does her own work, laundering white
cambric aprons is such a task"
Well. who said that all the aprons
were Of white cambric? In shops which
specialize juvenile raiment some per-
fectly cumming aprons which were not
of white cambric are seen.
They are in colors-and such colors!
For instance, fine zephyrs and Scotch
ginghams and chambrays in Dutch or
delft blue and white stripes; natural
colored holland and natural coiored
linen, pique and batiste figured with
dots, rings, fieur de lis, cubes and
other geometrical forms in fascinating
blues. browns, scarlets, etc. Then
there are new American-made galatea
cloths for the hoydenish little maiden.
which wear and launder splendidly.
though trifle heavy on a dainty little
girl.
Quite naturally the blue and white
aprons are trimmed with fiat. white,
washable braid or strong white en-
broidery, the natral colored aprons
are made without trimming or with
natural colored embroidery, which,
however. is not cheap. A very good
thing to avoid is colored braid or col
ored embroidery of any sort. In using
either of these you take grave chances
on their running into the goods.
French percales at 25 cents a yard
are nearly SO inches in width, and
they wash finely. Poplinette and
lightweight pique make good plain
aprons, and the new calicos. whj IN.
alas, have risen to ten cents a yIrd,1
show some lovely clean-looking pat
terms.
An apron shown for girlies suggests
the French dress, with it's short-skirt
effect and bloused waist section. This
design is particularly suited to the
awkward age, making a break in the
long, lank figure. The yoke-bands
form shoulder straps and may be Of
the same material as the other parts
of the apron, or embroidery may be
substituted. This model can be worn
by girls from four to twelve years of
age, and pleases them all.
Even their older sisters are going in
for aprons this season, and some love-
ly little conceits are being turned out
by the girl who is learning that to be
domestic is to charm-especially
young men with moderate incomes.
For the slender girl who likes a
dressy, trimmed apron to wear when
she is setting the tea table, or using
the chafing dish, or doing light house
work in an afternoon frock, rather
fanciful design in figured lawn, with
trimmings of insertion and a bertha
effect over the sleeves is attractive.
One and three-fourths yards of ma
terial are required for the foundation
of this apron and trimming may be
bought as desired.

HERALD PASSING OF THE
FAMOUS RUBE WADDELL
Eccentric TwirIer No Longer a Win
nsr and Connie Mack Hae
Tired Of Him.

The latest ball player to be pro-
nounced ''all in" is none other than
the irrepressible Rube Waddell. From
reliable source comes the informa-
ton that Manager Mack has come to
the conclusion that "Rube" is no long
er winner. That strenuous life Is be-
ginning to tell on Waddell, and though
he seems as good as ever at times, he
cannot be depended upon to go more
than five innings at a fast clip. The
tremendous speed with which "Rube'
famed 16 or II batsmen in a game
when he helped the Athletics to win
two pennants was missing last sea-
son, and this was the first sign of
deterioration on the part of the once
great pitcher. Manager Mack noticed
1t as quickly as anyone and in the
last two weeks of the season Mack al
ternated Dygert and Plank rather
than to take a chance with Waddell,
though the "Rube" was apparently in
good shape. Just what disposition
Mack will make of Waddell is not
get trade for the erratic pitcher, as
few managers would care to take a
chance with him.
Manager Mack is going to take an
other chance with big ''Rube" vickers
next season. Vickers has been given
to understand that he must cut out
thinking for himself If he ever hopes
to make good in fast company. The
instant "Rube" starts to think the
wires get crossed and it is all off. Next
year DR.. Powers will be assigned to
the duty of doing the thinking for
Vickers. II "Rube" does not like the
way Powers thinks he can appeal to
Capt. Davis, and in that event Harry.
who started out as a catcher, will give
the signs for what "Rube" is to pitch.
II Vickers fails to make good his case
will be pronounced hopeless and he
will be dropped like a hot pancake.

CHAPTER III.
Playing the Enemies Game.

Mr.. Barnes attempts to forget his
postponed nuptials in arranging the
details of his darling's safety. Emory
shortly brings to him an old Cancelled
check upon a branch of the Credit
Lyonnais bearing the signature of
Corregfo Cipriano Danella, but compar-
ing 1t with Marinas mutilated note
and also the warning sent to him, the
American cannot be certain of the
handwriting.
Perhaps 1t has been disguised ir
both the epistles," suggests the detec
tive. and continues his report. "As faI

matters. there was long cable came
from Bernardo Saliceti at Ajaccio to
Corregio Danella late yesterday even

were to arrive on the Constantine;
that you by your arts had murdered
his brother, and that Madame An
struther, for the defense of her hus-
band against the just vengeance Of
Tomasso Monaldi, had produced his
shooting by De Belloc's cavalrymen.
This is only as the operator remem-
bered it. My emissary didn't dare to
try and get duplicate of the dispatch,
which was already on file. The French
government keeps sharp eye upon
its telegraph Offices"
isn't 1t curious" asks Burton, that
there is no account yet of the Corsican
tragedy in the French journals here?"
"Politics!" answers the detective.
There is an election here shortly, and
they fear some complication with the
English government. l doubt If you
will hear of the affair in an official
way-at all events not till after the
election for deputies. Perhaps that's
what makes young Saliceti SO eager
to do you up. If he stood as a repre-
sentative of the time-honored vendetta
every rustic commune in his island
would give him its vote"
That being the case" says Barnes.

SHOULD HAVE SLEEP OUT,
Writer Objects to Custom of Arousino
Children Early.

DIR. Woods Hutchinson, writing of
Sleep In the American Magazine, criti.
cizes boarding schools sharply for get.
ting young people up too early in the
morning. He says: "a baby or young
child should have absolutely every
minute of sleep that 1t can be induced
to take, and sleeplessness Is even
more emphatically sign of disease In
children than in adults. The necessity
and capacity for large amounts of re-
freshing sleep persists up to adult life
and the amount required seldom falls
below ten hours before the eighteenth
or twentieth year. To make children
or rapidly growing young adults get
up before they have had their sleep
out and feel thoroughly rested. is not
merely irrational but cruel. and when
II is done as routine practice at
boarding schools, or other institutions.

NO COVERING FOR ARMS.
On French Evening Dresses Not the
Slightest Sleeve Is Employed.

For evening frocks the arm-finish is
as dainty and airy as possible. If the
slightest sleeve is employed 1t is of
such sbortness and lightness that it is
only an excuse for sleeve. Women
with well nodded arms have had no
opportunity to show them for some
years, and now Is their chance. The
best coutouriers do not like to put
even small sleeve into their evening
or dinner gowns, and do so only when
strictly ordered by the client A pret-
ty band of velvet is all that many of
the gowns have around the armhole.
Such a garniture rests daintily on the
arm, and gives a soft finish to the
skin.
Worth has some lovely arm-finishes
to his ball gowns. Flowers trim the
corsages in some cases, and then the
place about the armhole is trimmed
with flowers-preferably roses or
violets--and the effect is beautiful.
For young girls it is delicious. Ameri-
can debutantes have chosen many
gowns with. such arm decorations to
be worn at their second parties.
French girls have the rather long.
plain elbow sleeve, for the debutante
in that country is decidedly more of
a child than her beautiful American
cousin

cousin.

Bows of ribbon and velvet are again
worn in the hair for daytime garnish-
ments.
Tan shoes bid fair to be worn until
late fall and new models are shown
for fall purpose.
The ornate appearance of the new
waists, whether they are parts of the
suit or separate blouses, is in direct
ratio to the simplicity of the skirts
The mosquetaire, perhaps more than
any other sleeve. is difficult to shape
properly and is only suitable for a
well-formed arm.
For the suit coat the correct sleeve
is three-quarter length. with close
fitting cuff, or full-length, made and
finished in the regulation manner.

that there are sundry smears and
smudges across the front, caused pos
sibly by an overcoat that is none too
clean. or gloves that are no longer
in their first youth. Such protector
as the one which is shown in our IL
lustration will entirely prevent any
catastrophe of this description, and
also prove protection from cold.
1t Is made in black satin, lightly
quilted, and lined with white satin, SO
that the white satin comes next to
the shirt and helps to keep 1t clean
The front is fastened with loops of
silk cord, and the whole thing bound
at the edges with black silk braid
When this protector is in use 1t is
almost entirely hidden by the over
coat; but even should part of 1t be
visible, it is by no means unsightly.
During the cold weather. too, such a
protection will keep the wearer
comfortably warm, and may save
many chill.
