unique beauty has been given by cleo

which sends upward cascades of vari-
colored water, While all the plants and
flowers are electrically articulated and
burst into an illuminated bloom of
their respective tints and shades, as
the curtain rises upon the scene The
"black' and white face" minstrels
are discovered seated among the
plants, and as they break into song.

There ia a man in Pittsburg who
will be married in a short while and
will occupy the house a few rooms Of
which he has used during his bachelor
days. He takes the greatest pleasure
in showing his intimate friends about
the place, and ls especially delighted
at the astonishment they express when

always been quiet studious fellow,
but as reftted the room gives the ap-
pearance Of the lounging place OF

long pipes; photographs of actresses
are stuck about the chimney glass; q
shelf OF beer stems runs all the way
around the room, and a few feminine
gloves, handkerchiefs, and fans arc
scattered about. Great Scott, Jack!"

this -quarter-length coat cut
on directoire lines. The fronts do
not meet, but are faced back their en-
tire length with rajah of the same
shade and a narrow vest of Delft
embroidery inserted. The vest is but.
toned down the front with tiny fancy
buttons; opens with little V at the
neck, and ends at the top of the
rather wide girdle which is worn with
the skirt. At either side of the vest
there are three large buttons similar
in design to those on the vest. The
sides of the coat skirt and the upper
sides of the sleeves are slashed, the
former to the hips, and the latter
nearly to the top. and embroidery like
that OF the vest inserted. The two
edges are then strapped across with
loops of narrow blue soutache, with
tiny buttons fixing them. The French
back is extremely graceful, with a
very slight suggestion Of the empire
in its cut, the suggestion accentuated
by three of the larger buttons at
either side.

IEltGRAPHtRS STRIKE.
Operators Employed by the Western
Union In Chicago Refuse to Handle
MESSAGES from Non.Unlonists.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-The telegraph
operators employed by the Western
Union Telegraph Co in Chicago went
on strike last night at ~ o'clock. The
trouble was precipitated by the Los
Angeles strike, inaugurated Wednes-
day.
Last night the local executive board
of the Commercial Tolegraphers
Union OF America met and passed
resolutions requesting the men to re
frsln from working with the Western
Union operators at Los Angeles. All
operators employed in the overland
division of the local Office followed
this request and Assistant Night
Chief Harry Price ordered all who re.
fused TO work to leave the Office. He
then went into other divisions and re-
quested the men 20 go into the over
land division. In every case he was
met with a refusal, until over 70 men
had been sent home.
The grievance committee Of the
union notified Mr.. Price that unless
every man was reinstated by mid
night every union man in the office
would be called out. This demand
was refused and at midnight a whis.
tie was blown and every operator en-
ployed in the main office with the cx-
ception of six wire and loop chiefs, in.
Guiding Night Manager Price and his
two assistants, left their keys and
with a round OF cheers walked out OF
the office. The men employed by the
company at various morning newspa.
pers had been notified of the con-
templated strike and they also quit
work.
The local officials OF the union last
night stated that the day force EN-.
ployed by the company, most OF whom
belong to the union, would refuse to
work. This will also include all
branch Offices In the city.

STREET AND HOUSE SHOES,
Line of Demarcation Between Them
Is Strictly Drawn.

Never has the line of demarcation
wider than it Is now. The golden
brown kid shoe has simply monopo.
lized the field for street footwear.
Boots, oxfords or pumps of glossee
brown kid are the footwear of the
smartly shod.
This is the logical outcome of the
fashion for golden-bro accessories
last summer. 1t is a most sensible,
as we'll az a most smart fashion Aside
from the brown kid being ideally com
Portable for summer wear, this golden
brown shade harmonizes delightfully."-
with nearly every possible costume
color.
The ultra fashionables have taken
to wearing high brown with cloth or
kid tops in the same or one tone
darker than the vamp Whether they
will continue to do so when the heat
of summer becomes extreme remains
to be seen.
Smaller, yet equally important, ac.
cessories to the up-to-date wardrobe
are the summer girls wells, belts and
jewelry. The most essential thing
in these is that they harmonize in de-
sign, as well as coloring, with the
toilet.
Belts of leather or elastic in the
same color as the skirt, or white linen
belts, plain or embroidered to match
the neckwear, are considered correct
with the tailored coat suit of plain
fabric, while novelties such as those
Japanese feathers are worn with the
novelty striped and checked suitlngs.

Important to Ladies'

We venture to assert, with
out fear of successful con-
tradiction, that the practi-
toner of medicine who is
able to cure surgical case
without resort 10 cutting in
the end, will make more
friends and build up a better
practice than he who is ever
ready to draw the scalpel, no
matter how skillful he may
be. Operations are undoubt-
edly a necessity, and all cred
it is to be given to those who
master the art of operative
technique, but it cannot be
disregarded that every opera
ton is fraught with certain
risks and dangers, and that
until positive method of
avoiding shocks, ETC., be
found, the patients will fear
the surgeons knife and will
cling to him who can con-
scientiously offer a less risky
method of cure. The LILY

hope. We have cured others

WHITE HOUSE PET DOG NAUGHTY-IS BANISHED

O OLLO has been banished from the AN White House. The time was when Rollo, big St. Bernard pup, was the most prized of all the White House pets. But Rollo fell into evil ways. When the French ambassador. M. Jusserand, came over to play tennis with the president, or Baron Speck von Sternburg, the German ambassa- dor. wandered about the grounds, Rollo evinced disposition to make them climb trees or jump fences.
 All of Rollos troubles are blamed on bull terrier presented to Mrs. Roosevelt several months ago. Up to the coming of the bull terrier Rollo was the best liked animal anywhere.
 The terrier and Rollo apparently were awfully good friends. They were both about the same age and the bull terrier undertook to teach Rollo rough house" games. He would grab Rollo by the throat and roll him good and plenty. Rollo, who grew until he was about the size of a calf. tired of this, and the constant attacks of the terrier appeared to ruin his dis position.

He became petulant and retiring disliking the company of either man or beast. Several times members of the presidents tennis cabinet have had to step lively to escape a nip from Rollo.
 Alter chasing ambassadors, cabinet ministers. and minor officials, Rollo sealed his doom the other night when he treed a couple of the watchmen from the navy department who were going through the White House grounds about midnight.
 Roiio wagged his tail, expecting to be commended for what he had done. but after it became known and dis cussed Rollo was sentenced to be ban. ished to the farm of Surgeon General Rixey, down in Virginia, where he can chase rabbits and butterflies.

The question of creating a national board with authority to investigate and report on railroad accidents is not al together without interest to the peo- pie generally. The Railway and Engin- eeeing Review in a recent issue advo- cates the appointment of such a board. The fact is brought out that in this country there is no way of deriving any benefit from the accumulation of ev- idence resulting from railroad wrecks. A wreck may be investigated in New
 York, and the Investigating board may learn something about the causes and conditions which produced the wreck. A wreck may occur in Arkansas and another Investigating committee may make an investigation but they would have little if any benefit from the conditions and evidence of the New
 York case. A national board could collect and preserve this evidence and make study of such cases. A coron- CTS jury usually composed of men with out experience in such cases can not do the work that well trained com  mission could do. For the benefit of the public, the truth about every rail- way wreck of any consequence ought to be brought out as far as possible. If men of practical knowledge of rail- way operation could be appointed on such board, it would not be a great while before they could determine with reasonable accuracy many things now unknown about railroad wrecks and we
