VENTIONAL COSTUME.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Wouldst be
Partisan a la mode? Then take off
your shoes and stockings, toss cruel
-corsets out of the fourth story wiz
dow, don a toga and sandals and with
your bare feet peering out at every
step, pass through the main corridor OF
the Hotel Buckingham as did Miss Eva
Cortland Palmer today. If you are
not frowsy, but have masses of rich
red gold hair, the face of Minerva
and the form of a Venus de Milo, the
same sort of a gasping sensation as
Miss Palmer created is guaranteed.
Miss Palmer is a society girl of in
dependent fortune and high places
She has been belle in Bar Harbor
and Newport for several years. But
more recently she took her celebrated
beauty to Paris, whence she returne
on the Lorraine yesterday to start quite
the most astounding innovation in
dress--or the lack of it-that the most
blase New Workers have ever seen.

asked.

matters are under adViSement. These
questions must naturally be of a more

Slap at T. w. Lawson.
"Now you spoke of the United Met
ais Selling company, and report tina,
it was to be prosecuted. I believe that
we were advised that there was hid
den octopus there-that it was the
worst on the calendar. We were to
drag it from it's lair and gibbet it. Well,
when we went to the man who was
said to know all about it's malefaJ-
tons we found out that he did nol
know a single definite thing" and here
Mr. Bonaparte chuckled audibly.
This was an indirect slap at Thomas
w. Lawson In a recent advertisement
Lawson blazoned to the world the fact
that the government was about to dis
solve the United Metals Selling COM
pany, the distributing agency of the
copper trust. 1t is understood that
when law officers of the government
appealed to Lawson for evidence he
could not supply one tangible fact.
Within the last two years Francis
J. Heney in the lumber cases and At
torneys kellogg and Severance in the
trust cases have acted as special at
torneys for the government. Heney is
now unavailable, owing to his work
in San Francisco. Kellogg, it is
known, was on the verge Of a break
down early in the summer, owing to
excessive work, while Severance was
little better off. The work has piled
up amazingly and is far behind.

said the attorney general, turning to
this phase of the situation. "a new
condition of affairs has arisen and we
are not prepared for it. We have gone
along in the makeshift manner ans
done the best we can-in fact it is
wonderful what has been accomplished
considering the handicap. Just now
the need is so imperative that it is
time something was done.

1t will of course be impossible :,
secure a change in the rate for the
present fruit shipping season, but steps
are to be taken to secure a reduc ion
in the express rate which will bring
the cost to the old figures.
The express company defends its
action by pointing to rule recently
promulgated by the interstate COM
merce commission, requiring exact
weights to be billed on all express
shipments.

drapeI shoulders-and you can gain
something of the idea of the sensation
that Miss Palmer created in her garb.
Miss Palmer is the stepdaughter
of DR.. Robert Able of II East Fffteth
street. Her mother married Dr. Able
when her father, the late COurtland
Palmer, died some years ago, after be-
coming famous as the rich man Of
letters and founder of the unique
Nineteenth Century club. DR.. Able is
himself a celebrated physician Mrs.

While in Paris it is said Miss Palm

philosophy, the underlying law Of
which is that nature likes best those
of her children who go about un'

Miss Palmer told a Hearst News
Service reporter all about this in Ter
room at the Buckingham, while tins
gaping crowd in the main corridor
were still staring blankly at the spot
where the majestic barefooted LADY
had whisked herself from view.

A soothing sense of rest came ov-

There is something wrong in the
postal service between here and Mil
ford, or else in one or the other or
both of the postoffices. Recently a
letter mailed at tn latter place on
Friday, requiring a certain matter to
be attended to here the following day
Saturday was not received till Mon
day; and about the same time letter
mailed there reached here four days
later-both events causing considera-
Bile annoyance and some little loss.
If two such circumstances come to
light, it is reasonably certain that
there are many more that are not
heard of, and as there is no accepta-
Bile excuse for them they ought to be
stopped at once.

stream. The struggling sunlight had
faded into coppery grayness, and hea"
Wy clouds rooted the canyon. Work
ing like beavers, the men soon had
two RATS of bamboo, dashed pole to
pole with the fibrous creepers. By
dint of careful handling, the whole
detachment was ferred across in safe
ty.
This side of the river was more OPP
en-. and the men had no difficulty in
making the path through the woods.
Ramos led them up the slope at
jog trot Reaching the top of the
ridge, they skirted along below the
crest until they came into position
directly behind and above the insur-
gents. Opposite them, across the can
yon, the deployed Americans kept up
a desultory fire to engage the enemy's
attention. Leaving his men behind
him, the sergeant crept forward I'M
til he reached the edge of the clear
ing where the Filipinos had thrown
up their earthworks.
He lay outside the woods, hidden
i'll patch of course grass. Below
sprawled and huddled in the trench.
A wide straw hat looped up with
trcolor cockade, and occasionally a
costume of blue-striped hickory"
was all there uniform. The smoke OF
many cigarettes, improvised from to-
bacco leaves, hung over the ditch, and
fifty pairs of eyes wandered dreamily
over the jungle as if seeking the east
est path for retreat. A hemp-bound
bamboo cannon crowned the breast
work, and for some distance in front
of the defences, the ground had been
cleared of underbrush The position
could have been made impregnable
against attack on its lower side
A long while, the sergeant watched
the men below him. Somewhere in
the recesses of his brain, he was con-
sidering an important question. The
idea might have been new to him;
he might have conceived it since he
left his lieutenant on the other side
of the river. But more probably it
had been smouldering for months, on
ly waiting some opportunity like the
present to spring fullgrown into life.
Rejoining his men, he spoke to
them quietly in the dialect of their
native province. No surprise was
visible on their faces. They listened
and accepted as a matter of course,
When he called for answers, the ma
jority agreed instantly, and the rest
hastily threw in their consent. For
two years Ramos had been their SER

were in command, he was their ora
Gle in everything They had fol-
lowed in his lead so often that it

member his old ambitions, his old
hatreds; he forgot that he was as
rank a deserter as this monkey doc
die little sergeant, and a murderer
into the bargain. He only knew that
he was no cold-blooded Gugu gueril-
la, that he had been born and bred
in the land of the free, and that his
countrymen were i'll peril.
Drawing his revolver he watched
while the scouts fired their first vol
ley skyward. The insurgents took
up the game, yelling daboically In
the pandemonium that ensued, the
deserter singled Ramos's figure from
the crowd, aimed deliberately and
fired twice. Then he leaped over the
breastwork, and sprinted down the
uneven, debris-littered slope toward
the woods that hid the river.
The shots were fired in the air no
longer. Something struck the de-
serter in the back He staggered un-
ucl lIc DloW, anu putting Ills manu- W
the place, found on his fingers trio
kle of thin blood. With set jaws, he
plunged on faster than ever. The
ground recled and swung under his
feet; once he stumbled but was up
again like flash. Instinctively, he
seemed to know where to place his
feet; nothing hindered him. When
he reached the woods, he felt wave
of encouragement, knowing that the
river must be close ahead. In a
frenzy of strength, he tore his way
through the brush. Over logs he
vaulted, under vines he crept and
wriggled He clawed, he thrust, he
fought his way through the tangle,
lunging, kicking, scrambling down
ward. Even as he labored, every
thing swan before his eyes. If he
should die now without warning them
If they were to be victims of those
traitors, their helpless bodies to be
given over to nameless heather at
rocities He was numb to the hips
but his legs still moved and his arms
still fought. His breath came in
rasping, throaty gasps, and his lips
formed one word. 1t was not BIAS
phemy, but a desperate, hopeless
prayer
Then he collapsed. Of a sudden, it
became small matter whether white
men lived or died If the fools would
fight, it was nothing to him. All he
wanted was to lie quietly, to be left
in peace. The singing of the bullets
through the woods was his lullaby
or his requiem. But strong arms
lifted him, held him, carried him away.
He swore feebly, begging them in
the name of Heaven to let him rest
Looking up he saw a familiar face
He stared moment, struggling to
remember.

said. Back there in the woods are

The white man regarded him doubt

asked.

The fingers that held the deserter's

would attend to it himself.

clearing, we will shoot them down

The natives in the trench watched
this dialogue of which they could
hear nothing, with open-mouthed in
terest. Their two tenientes approach
ed cautiously and Ramos repeated his
argument The insurgent officers
were visibly elated. They under

lighted them. The deserter could

Ramos waved his hand toward the
woods. The scouts arose and stray

tenientes were explaining matters to
their men. The new arrivals grinned
sheepishly as the insurgents embrace

on the breastwork, the deserter watch
