Rromn Mrs. Vanderhilt.

While white and the light delicate
colors are more seen in the summer
than any others, still brown has not
lost the great vogue it had in the cold
er weather. At the Newport Casino
one of the most admired costumes
is the brown gown Of Mrs. Alfred Van
derbilt. II is a brown chiffon gown
made princess very simply with tucks
for its principal adornment. 1t is made
over a slip of shimmery white silk
All of the little accessories Of a wom-
ans costume which are worn with this
gown were evidently made to go with
il, so that while the effect is simple
1t is anything but an inexpensive cos
tune The hat is a large soft leghorn
brown, and trimmed only with three
sweeping ostrich plumes shading from
natural color to the brown Of the gown
The parasol is a fluffy affair made OF
the same brown chiffon over white silk
and brown stockings and brown suede
pumps are the footwear. A charming
simple brown gauze fan, small and
worn on a narrow brown ribbon with
pretty diamond slides on It is the only
sign Of jewelry on Mrs. Vanderbilt.

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWCASTLE, Aug. S.-When Will |

morning he found that there were many
dogs sporting at large without muz-
zles. Then the fun commenced and
for a few hours there were 'doings"
all over the city Warren paid no at
tention to abuse heaped upon him but
kept right on, and threats Of lynching
were of no avail AS a result some
registered pets found their way into
the company OF the tagless beauties.
Mongrels became partners Of the high
bred poodles and 81 was necessary
to redeem the dog that is no good but
which the children like as well as
the watchdog or the one that will give
the music this fall when rabbits Will
be on the hop The dog catcher IS on
the move again today and this evening
warrants will be sworn out for all per-
sons who harbor unregistered dogs
James Mcguire Is anxious 10 see a

Death Of Jefferson King.
Word was received here yesterday
/ OF the death OF T. Jefferson Klng at
his home In Camden, n. ]. "Jef'' King
had many friends here and fifteen years
ago was prominent In county politics
and organizations when he lived in
Wilmington.
Many persons from here will attend
his funeral.
Considerable abuse was bestowed
yesterday on members of City Council
because they voted $40 for preparing
the tax collectors duplicate. There
are over 500 items and for each as
sessment it was necessary TO compute
the tax on the 500 for schools, city
and streets. The price paid was the
same as that paid TO all former clerks
only that this bill came out In the
open and was not a quiet transaction.
BY consulting the annual reports this
statement can be verified.
Lightning did some strange stunts
during the storm. Miss Essie Kurby,
Operator at the telephone exchange, was
about 20 answer a ring whensshe was
stricken and knocked from her chair
TO the floor and stunned. Her head
phone was thrown some distance away.
John Becker was stunned by a bolt
of the fluid and is yet nearly blind from
the flash.
The grapery Of B. Woodward Rob
erts was destroyed and Mrs. Roberts
was stunned on her porch.
At the Beebe boat yards Mr.. Beebe
was stunned. A bolt struck on the
wire and burned out the fuses and
batteries in the shop and burst in
"a ball Of fire outside, finally entering
the waters OF the Delaware river.
At the inshore lighthouse an i'm
imense willow tree was riven into many
pieces by the fluid and Miss Duncan
was stunned.

How Women Walk.

That a woman may look like a doll
the world admits but the fact that she
walks like one is bringing down on her
marcelled head oceans of scathing sar-
casm. A writer IN an English periodical
is responsible for the latest teapot
tempest, and the faults which he has
found for which TO arraign the genter
sex prove him an innocent bystander Of
more than ordinary acuteness.
ITO walk beautifully" he says in be-
ginning his attack, rs a gift Of the gods
one Which in these degenerate days
they bpear to withhold jealously. more
especially from the Anglo Saxon and
Teutonic races"
Probably he has met with different
class Of foreigners in England to what
we see in America; otherwise, the aver
age Chicago woman might take excep-
tion to the statement that follows;
"They bestow the gift with a niggard
hand among the Latin peoples and roy
ally only on the Orientals."
Women" he goes on calmly to say,
"are a despair. They shuttle, they
stride. they waddle. they prance, they
scurry. they do anything but walk; and,
what Is worse, they never realize their
vile mode of progression. If a woman
danced or played games or sang as
badly as she walks she would have but
few opportunities 10 display her defic-
iencies. And she walks like mechan-
ical toy.
"The deplorable lack OF dignity in
modern women is one cause of bad
walking. DiE(ity was understood by
our forebears and is inherent in the
Oriental, but the age Of hustle is upon
us, and hustle and dignity will never
meet.
People say that to argue from stat
lies is absurd, but conceive Of the Venus
OF Milo as she must haze been when
she left the sculptors hand, and ther
imagine her stepping down from hel
pedestal in the Louvre and walking VI
the long gallery Could any one doubt
the divine beauty of that progress
The modern Venus understands nothing
about the beauty in movement-all she
cares about is getting over the ground

Remedy For convuIsions.

Commissions may be due to indiges-
tion. irritation of the nerve eenters IN
teething. or pinworms. A great many
diseases are ushered IN by convul-
sions. The first thing TO do is TO put
the child into a tub of hot water about
100 degrees Fahrenheit, without walt
ing to undress It until you have it in
the water. Keep the head raised
with an icecap applied TO it. or, if you
have no cap. use cold congresses OF
ice in a towel Keep the baby in the
bath five minutes. At the end Of this
time wrap 1t in a wooden blanket and
summon a physician. The hot water
is used to dilate the blood vessels, and
in doing this the blood is brought from
the brain to the body.

asIumberitisr New Subway Disease


Due to the impure air in the Subway
thousands Of persons, especially women,
have been AFFLICTED with "slumberitis"
when riding on the express trains. Per-
haps there have been two other con-
tributing causes. the lack of attraction
for the eye outside the car and the dull
whirr of the train gradually numbing
the senses and sending the passengers
10 sleep. Never since the Subway open
ed have there been so many persons
fall asleep in the trains as this sum-
mer. Doctors say that it is due chiefly
70 the impure air which the passengers
breathe. At any rate, it is a customary
sight to see a score of women fall
asleep between stations, while men nod
and start awake over their newspapers.
Stout women and slender girls doze
peacefully, while men fall asleep at all
hours To show that "slumberitis" is
not due TO WEAKNESS, II will be OBJ
served that victims of the disease can
be found on trains at any hour of the
day, morning. afternoon or evening. One
doctor. who has been studying the dis
ease says It is peculiar and may lead
70 dangerous maladies.-New York

economy to inhale the same air more
than once. First let the child sleep in

should remain not less than six hours.
Water should be given before each
feeding, and not less than six times a

GAME AND FISH.
Need Of Revision of Laws Pointed QUE
by Warden.

NNCO Ol nCNlolON OF Laws TOlnICQ OuN
by Warden.
Charles II. Chapman, of the 500,
state game and fish warden. I'm his
biennial report says that the CONNER
cial fishing OF the state is not in an
satisfactory condition as his depart
ment or the people generally desire.
There is much dissatisfaction
among the fishermen" he says. over
the complications and determinations
in the commercial fishing laws. The
whitefish are fast disappearing and
the number OF lake trout is small. con-
sidering the large number planted in
Michigan waters by the United States
hsh commission each year"
To remedy the faults Warden Chap
man recommends a complete revision
OF the laws. He says he believes the
only way to save the food fishes is TO
absolutely prohibit fishing during the
spawning period in each of she great
lakes. AS to inland fishing Warden
Chapman believes there should be a
general revision of local acts, making
the general law applicable wherever
possible.
The warden estimates 10000 deer
were killed during the last season, but
that wolves destroyed more than that
number during the year.
Quail are said to be recovering from
the severe winters of 1903 and 1904,
but they have not yet become plentiful
and will require protection for some
time. The department has followed the
policy, the warden announces, of en-
deavoring to prevent violations rather
than make a showing of large num-
Der of arrests.
The expenses of the department for
1906 were $2S,270, and the proceeds
from the sale of deer licenses. confis-
Gated property and permits, and from
fines were $29, 206.

Lansiag.-A bill for the appoint
nent of a special expert railroad COM
nissionfthe first bill under the consti.
tuition OF 1908, the first bill to have
1irect relation TO the instrument not
get In existence, has been announced.
The legislature of 1909 is hereby an
;icipated. The bill introduced by
Representative J. B. Knight Is pre-
sented from the view that the new
constitution will leave greater powers
| % the legislature than does the pres
snt one. There will be, IL Is thought,
FAR less reservation and restriction OF
power by the constitution, and on tax
! alton it is thought the legislatures
power will be full and unrestrained,
f Michigan follows the new constitu-
ions of Wisconsin and New York and
he trend of our own amendments.
The bill provides for the appoint
nent of a commission of 10 members,
i've named by the governor and five
oy each house of the legislature. They
are to make thorough general in
luiry, having full powers to call wit
nesses and take testimony, into the
whole subject of taxation. The New
York commission, which has just re-
ported TO the present senate, is not
model Of organization. The commits
sion is to report to the legislature
Of 1909, the first legislature under the
new constitution. With the data be-
fore them the legislature of 1909,
should, the promoters of this plan
believe, be able to devise some settle
ment of the whole taxation problem.
There will always and forever be
wrangling between railroads and
other taxpayers about taxes, until
something is devised that will become
apparent to all is just. There is one
scheme which is much talked of here
suggested by those who favor a spe-
cial commission. This Is the separa-
ton Of state and county taxes. This
q the so-called Wisconsin plan, by
which the taxes from the railroads
support the state, and county taxes
support the counties. Some would
nave saloon and other like taxes shar-
ed with the state as now. but other
wise the county alone should assess
and collect general taxes.
