THE SILVER DOLLAR

How dear to our hearts is the old silver
dollar,
When some kind subscriber presents it
to view
The liberty head without necktie or collar,
And all the strange things that to us

The wide spreading eagle, the arrow

The stars and the words, with the

The coin of our fathers; we're glad that

suggestion.
Automobile wraps
Outdoor sports are distinctly fashion
able, and as consequence there is an un.
usual demand for materials which are at
tractiye yet guaranteed not to spot and
are absolutely waterproof. All these re-
quirements are filed by the Priestly
Crayenettes, which come in wide range
OF clothsand colorings, and for automobile
ing they stand without rival. Like all
other first-class fabrics, they are initiated
but the purchaser is protected by looking
for the circular trademark "Cravenette"
which is stamped on the back of every
yard OF genuine Crayenette fabrics.
The French Veil
One notices number of the French
circular wells worn ON all occasions, for
automobiling especially. These usually
match the hat or its trimmings in color,
and are circles about 27 inches in dame
ter, trimmed at the edges with lace, or
pleatings Of net or ribbon. Often several
rows Of narrow velvet ribbon are used
for the border, and the veil is adjusted
with the centre at the centre of the hat
crown and the fullness drawn back and
pinned, to the coiffure with a pretty
jewelled clasp.
Embroidered Gloves
These match up well with the tussore
silk gowns that are SO much worn both
in the simple tailored styles and in more
elaborate concoctions trimmed With
braidings and dyed lace. The most at
Ttraetiye OF these are the white tussores
which are made up with appliques of en-
broidered cloth and with good deal of
heavy lace. Long scarfs of marabout and
neck pieces of the same mixed with os-
trich are very much worn. One of white
with the ostrich in pale mauye, and the
ends divided into lumber of tails tipped
with the colored ostrich was especially
ATTRACTIVE.

SUMMER STYLES AT NEWPORT

Everyone saves their very best and
very newest frocks for the festivities that
mark the height of tile season here. Ex-
elusive modes that will not be generally
exploited for months to come are often
in evidence worn BY well known leaders
in the gay set, so that dressmakers and
other people who care to know OF coming
styles like to get glimpses Of things sar-
torial here in August.
Silk Coats and Trimmings
Silk coats of all lengths and coIors, and
silk trimmings on cotton frocks are one
of the notable features of the smart Dress
ing, as seen wherever the gay crowd
gathers and the medlet of styles is end
less. Watching the tennis tournament
which is Of absorbing interest mornings
at the Casino, the crowd includes names
known all over the country for belleship
and position, and one woman wore a
lingerie frock of the finest batiste, lace
and hand embroidery with touches of
delicate pink in its details, her pink
"crim" hat dressed with plumes and
matching ribbon and parasol of dainty
white batiste with a jewelled handle,
while her no less attractive or well placed
neighbor wore short tailor made of buff
linen striped with white, and a Panama
hat caught back in cowboy fashion, the
sole trimming consisting of a scarf of
Roman striped ribbon in tones of buff,
white and almond green.
Simple Frooks seen
The simplest possible cotton frocks are
seen with most elaborate toilets, but the
chances are that the simple frocks are far
more costly than their appearance would
lead the uninitiated to believe.

LABOR FOR THE SOUTH
QUESTION OF ASSISTED IMMIGRA-
TON AGAIN DISCUSSED.

An important conference on the subject
OF immigration was held at the White
House last night Attorney General Bona
parte, Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Straus, Commissioner General of Immigra-
uon Sargent, Commissioner of Labor Neiu
Assistant Attorney General Cooley, Senator
Foster of Louisiana, President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor D. A.
Iompkins of Charlotte, S. c., and former
Nor Smythe of Charleston, S. c., were
among those who participated in the con-
ference with President Roosevelt
The conference, which was a sequel of
that Of Monday before at which the matter
of assisted immigration" in South Caro-
lima was discussed, lasted two hours
Every phase of the southern immigration
problem was discussed at the meeting which
began after 8 o'clock. The questions raised
by several states in the south bearing on
the labor problem, the need for the present
of bringing certain labor from abroad for
work In the mills in those states the recent
decisions Of the Attorney General and the
Secretary Of Commerce and Labor on the
subject were taken up and a general under
standing was reached as to the application
of the present immigration law and the
new law that is to take effect on July l
next, to the situation in the south.
\ The representatives of the southern states
in the conference, including besides those
already mentioned Maj. E. w. Lucas of
Wilmington, N. c., and Thomas F. Parker
OF Greenville, S. c., took an important part
in the discussions, in which they outlined
the attitude of the states along these lines
Although no statement was given out at
the close of the conference, the discussion
bore largely along the same general lines
as at the other meeting, and there was the
same satisfaction expressed as to the out
come, the discussion indicating, on the one
hand, that the new law would not deprive
the states of any of their rights already
conferred and that the construction of the
law as given by the Attorney General was
and on the other hand that
the states have no desire to go beyond the
law in assisting immigration and that they
expect after a short time immigration will
drift to the ports of the south.

SCRAMBLE OVER ESTATE.
Several Men Anxious to Handle tn
Armstrong Properties.

GRAFTON, W. Va, March 13-As a re-
suit of the time for the filing Of will
80 days since death-havtng expired, there
has been a rush Of petitions in court at
Grafton, w Va, praying for the appoint
ment of an administrator Of the estate of
the late Judge Adolphus Armstrong of Graf
ton, valued at half million dollars
Miss Louise Butcher of Stafford, Ohio, a
sister Of Judge Armstrong, who is looked
upon as the nearest heir to the estate, is
incapacitated on account of age and DIS
ease to act as administrator, and it now
remains for the court to appoint some
other person to that office. In this fact
lies the meaning Of the many petitions
that were filed, there being great rivalry
for the position. There will doubtless he
the appointment soon, but who will. be
the successful person cannot now be pre-
dicted.
Those who filed petitions are Harry
kunst, prosecuting attorney of Taylor
county; A. E. N. Means. sheriff of Taylor
county, and Eugene Somerville, an attor-
ney. Each petitioner claims to represent
certain interests in the estate. Kunst is
the representative Of e. L. Matz. the at
torney Of Woodsville, Ohio. who was re-
Gently appointed by the probate court of
Monroe county. Ohio, the guardian of
Louise Butcher. who is regarded as the
sole heir to the fortune. Her home is at
Stafford, Ohio.
Sheriff Means seeks to have the admin
istration Of the estate in the interests of
the collateral heirs, consisting of eighteen
cousins and their children, of the names
of Baton, Woiter, Butcher, Gaylord and
others. residing in Grafton, Weston, Nor
gantown, Clarksburg and ether towns in
West Virginia and in Ohio. New Mexico
and elsewhere.
In case Louise Butcher, who is now bed
fast and in her eighty-second year, never
becomes competent to make a will convey
ing away the large estate which now
goes to her by inheritance, these collateral
heirs whom Means represents in seeking
to be appointed administrator Of the estate
will get the estate.

In letter to Secretary Garfield President
Roosevelt has directed modification of
the orders issued under his direction last
year withdrawing certain lands from coal
entry. Ccnformably to the Presidents d.
rections about %, GOO 600 acres of coal land
will be Immediately opened to entry, with

geological survey on the character and
quality of lands covered by the orders
dated July 20. October 10, 13 and Is, 1906
Withdrawing certain lands from coal entry,
and issued under my direction, you are
directed to modify these orders in the fol-
lowing particulars:
"All lands which are now reported by
the geological survey to contain no work.
able coal shall be Immediately released.
"All lands which contain workable beds
of coal. and concerning Which the geologi-
cal survey has sufficient information avail
able to enable you to properly classify
them, shall be open to coal entry as soon
as you shall classify such lands and pro-
mulgate rules and regulations for making
entry.
Hereafter other lands shall be sim
ilarly opened to entry as rapidly as the geo
logical survey can make proper examina-
ton thereof and report to you
II am advised that under this order about
Is 0O0, 600 acres Of coal land will immediate-
ly be opened to entry.

Says Appropriation Was Not Made to
Carry It Out Properly.

ing to the issuance OF evidence Of title
under the public land laws:
MY order of February IL. 1907, relating
to the issuance of evidence OF title under

the commissioner Of the general land Of
fee to properly carry out the purposes OF
that order. which were to have such ex-
aminations made of all applications for
patent as would facilitate the issuance of
title to bona-fld settlers and home makers.
would reduce Illegal entries to a minimum
and would bring the work of the land office

propriated It is not possible OF carry out
the order or to provide with certainty for
the detection Of fraud without causing un-
reasonable hardship to bona-fide settlers
and home makers
