THE SHIRT
WAIST SUIT

There we're rumors afioat early IN
the season that the shirt-waist suit
would not be in its usual high favor
with this years summer girl writes
Grace Gargaret Gould in Woman's
Home Companion for July Every
one was proclaiming the universal
vogue of the jumper dress.
Now, however, the tide is turning,
and the shirt-waist suit is again as
sorting itself. And there is no doubt
that II is smarter than ever
"Of course, the shirt-waist suit has
had to look to it's laurels. and perhaps
that's why the new designs are SO
original and extremely attractive All
sorts of materials are used, from the
new wolfe in a worsted suiting pat
tern to an inexpesive striped gingham.
Brown linen is also in high favor for
shirt.waist suit. Other materials
which are in vogue are figured mad
ras. pique, mercerized rep, cotton pop
lin. pongee and striped and checked
silks"

RICHARD CROK Err.
WILL BE VOTED THE FREEDOM
OF DoUBLIN BECAUSE OF
"UNIoUE POSITION"

LONDON, June 13.-The proposal
to bestow the freedom of the city of
Dublin on Richard Croker will be con-
tested, but probably will be carried
by the Nationalist, who have a large
majority in the Council and who were
originators of the proposition. The
motion, of which notice has already
been given, reads:
In view of the unique and disting-
uished position acquired by Mr.. Crok-
er as an Irishman in America, and his
intention to spend the remainder OF
his days in his native land and sup
port the Irish Parliamentary party in
its struggle for home rule, he is here
bv constituted an honorable freeman
of the city of Dublin"
The only other Americans who have
been given the freedom of the city OF
Dublin have been Gen. Grant, Capt.
Potter. of the famine relief ship Con-
stellation, and, Patrick A. Collins the
late Mayor of Boston.

several gentlemen were seated in

Powell, in this village. Mrs. Carrie

ShelbyvilIe to attend the Teachers
Institute there, drove up TO where the

proceeded to administer to him
severe chastisement with her buggy
whip. She dealt him several severe
blows. and only let up after Mr.. Pow

to arrest her. Then she got into her
buggy and drove of, seemingly salts

alleged, severely whipped the 1-year-
old child of Mr.. Erwin. and out of this
the difficulty grew.
Mr.. Erwin has sworn out warrants

soon open and the children of the
neighborhood are mighty interested
in the matter. as it is said that Mrs.
Jamison is to teach the school.

LIQUOR QUESTION
AT GAINESVILLE
SALOON KEEPER ATTACKS CON
STITUTlONALITY OF PEN
DLETON LAW.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, June 10
A considerable stir was created yes
terday when it was learned that John
Hanahan. a local saloon-keeper, had
applied for writ of mandamus from
Judge Stout in the Chancery Court to
compel County Court Clerk G. ID.
Bailey to issue liquor license for the
ensuing year. Hanahan applied to
the clerk with $1,000 for state and
county license, and that officer de-
clined to accept same for the reason
that the Pendleton bill becomes oper-
alive on July /, and the saloon would
be in violation of the state law. Han
ahan thereupon took the above pro-
cedure, it is understood, to make
test case by attacking the constitu-
tionality of the Pendleton act 1t is
claimed by the complainant that the
style of the law does not conform with
the Constitution, which provides that
the same shall be;
BE is enacted by the General AS
sembly OF the State Of Tennessee,
etc. The Pendleton bill reads: BE
1t enacted by the General Assembly
OF Tennessee" the words "of the
state" having been left out This
error is said to have been caused by
the Senate bill having been substi-
tuted in the House for the House bill,
the latter having been properly
drawn. When the bill came up In
the House on motion, the bill which
had passed the Senate was substi-
tuted for the bill in the House. 1t Is
claimed that the bill is unconstitu-
tional because the Senate bill does
not conform with the House bill, and
that the Pendleton bill, as 1t is, never
passed the required number OF read
ings in the House. The case will in
all probability go to the Supreme
Court. and II is expected that that
body will not act upon Il before De

ORIGIN
BLIND KING or HUNGARY FIRST
CULTIVATED 1T.

Where Eperies, the picturesque
Hungarian town, is now surrounded
by beautiful gardens and fruited nelds,
there was at the time of King Bella IL
nothing but thick wilderness. once
this blind and unhappy sovereign was
travelling in his realm. 1t was a not,
sultry summer day, and while search
ing for a shady spot in which to rest
he became lost Deadly tired In con-
sequence of his long wandering, ne
asked his attendants for a drink OF
water They seated him on the soft'
green grass in the cool shade OF Dig
old trees and then the cavaliers sep
arated to hunt for refreshing spring
Meanwhile the King wanted to tind
out more about his resting place and
began to grope about him with his
hands. Thus he discovered strawber-
ries growing all about him, says the
New York Herald. He ate them. so,
partly quenching his thirst, he waited
quietly for his gentlemen. After a
short time they returned, some with
empty cups, some with pearly spring
water.
The King then said to his attend
ants: Have the trees cut down
around this place where my hands
found the refreshing strawberries.
Here shall arise a town whose name
shall be Eperies strawberry IN re re-
membrance of this day, for all time
AS the King commanded so 1t was.
The wilderness was cleared and IN
ire Mace Is a town whose arms carry
the strawberry even today.

ONE LOAD LIFTED
OFF Mr.. PERKINS
GRAND JURY DISMISSED CON-
PLANT IN CONNECTION WITH
sHIPRUILDINc COMPANY.

NEW YORK, June ia special
grand jury which is dealing with the
insurance cases, returned a finding
this afternoon dismissing the COM
plant against George w. Perkins in
connection with dealings in the bonds
of the International Mercantile Com
pany.
Mr. Perkins, member of the firm
of ]. P. Morgan & Company, and for
mer Vice President of the New York
Life Insurance Company, is under six
indictments now in connection with
insurance transactions. The COM
plant today alleged forgery in the
third degree. The grand jury simply
bore the Endorsement dismissed"
According to the evidence brought
out before the Armstrong lnvestiga-
ting Committee and upon which the
grand Jury complaint was based, Mr..
Perkins was allotted $3,200,0O0 OF the
bonds which were paid for. This
was in 1908 and in the next year the
bonds were sold to Mr.. Morgans
company at rs or 80 and then trans
ferred to Mr.. Perkins, who sold them
again to Mr. Morgan who in turn sold
them to the New York Life Insurance
Company at 80.
1t was alleged that Perkins as vice
President, acted for the New York
Life in part of these transactions and
the forgery charge grew out OF an
alleged false entry on the blotter OF
the insurance company.

CONDEMN 5IRRELL BILL
IN STRONG TERMS.

CHICAGO, June ia Pacific
squadron Of 100 battleships to resent
Japanese insolenee and English
treachery, was advocated by Col. John
F. Finerty today at the annual con
vention of the United Irish Societies
Distrust of the English and a de
nunciation Of the rejected BirTen
home rule bill were voiced by many
speakers. That English traders were
inspiring the belligerent attitude OF
Japan was the opinion of several
English merchants, fairly beaten
in commercial contest for eastern
trade by the United States, are stir
ring up the japanese to their present
attitude asserted Mr.. Finerty. The
loss of life or the fate of nations have
never affected English traders. Their
only vulnerable point is their purse.
All else is as nothing to them.
Il sincerely wish the United States
had a squadron of 100 battleships on
the Pacific, whose broadsides could
sweep out of existence the English
and japanese allies in their alliance
against our land"
The following resolutions were
adopted:
The United Irish Societies indorse
the manly, independent and patriotic
action of the Irish national committee
in rejecting the ill-considered, insult
ficient and insulting mockery of a
home rule bill about to be submitted
to parliament by the British govern
ment. BY its action the Irish party
has preserved intact the original ma
tional demand of the Irish people for
self-government and no British min
istry of any party will hereafter dare
offer them anything less than home
rule.
I'VE do not surrender the hope that
complications may arise in English
relations with outside states that ma!
result in giving Ireland an opportunity
to assert her independence, such as
was given in the processes and course
of human events in Greece, Belgium
and Norway"
Officers were elected for the ensu-
ing year, as follows:
President Lawrence R. Buckley;
vice-president, Maj. Michael H. En-
right: corresponding secretary, John
Hawkins; recording secretary, Thorn
as McNamee; treasurer, J. c. Buckley.

So Much Time Required to Smoke
One Of Them That the Smoker
Feels Like Wreek-iigh
Priced Cigarettes.

A prominent tobacco importer Of
this city, says the New York Evening
Post, was asked the other day wheth-
er there was anything extraordinary
in the gift of S2.6J cigrs sent TO King
Edward VII, by Baron Rothchilds.
The baron, it appears. is accustomed
to send TO the British ruler a box of
these expensive smokes" once in
every year.
That's not a record price by any
means" replied the importer.
He produced box of enormous
cigars, rich brown in color, with fancy
red bands around them. These, he
said, retailed for 81 apiece.
You can get them as high as So"
he added. Look at the Havana price
list, here. You see this one? 1t costs
wholesale, without duty, $3.50. The
duty is somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of so per cent. The cigar, when
we get it, will sell for 81. Our profit,
therefore, will be more than 30 per
cent. However, we don't have enough
demand for such cigars to make
fortune on them.
The only time anybody buys such
a thing is when he wishes to give it
away or to use it for some specially
elaborte dinner. For instance, the
other day, a Wall Street Spectator
had a birthday, and seven OF his
friends came to me and bought these
s4 cigars to send to him. Each friend
only bought one. We wrapped up the
cigars in fancy paper and put them
in ornate. gilt-lettered boxes for ship
ment to the Spectator. ] remember
too. dinner given by broker, at
which a dozen of the cigars were dis
tributed by the host.
THE guests at that dinner were IN
hard luck. / know, for ! saw the Ell
fects of a 81 smoke on one OF my
friends. | gave him one OF the cigars
and watched him burn it up. me
feat required about two hours, and
when he was through, he told me ne
felt like wreck. He said he'd stop
smoking altogether if he had to use
that sort of a cigar regularly. NO,
It wasn't the strength-the high
priced ones usually are rather mild;
it was the time consumed in con-
tinuously putting away at the thing.
Ordinarily even the most inveterate
smoker takes rest between cigars.
in this case there was not chance OF
stopping, unless he wished to miss
part of the treat"
The 81 cigar is about eight or nine
inches long and proportionately bulky
According to the dealer, its value de-
ponds principally upon the length OF
the tobacco leaf from which 1t has
been rolled.

HOT BREAD OF
THE SOUTH
CHANGES IN BAKING THAT NEW
WAYS HAVE FORCED.
Isl. Louis Globe-Democrat.)


The extraordinary increase in the
number of small bakeries in st. Louis
in the last few years is emphasizing a
fact that old-fashioned st. Louisians
are 10th to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
people have outgrown the days of not
breads.
With the new ways of life which
changing economic conditions, the
difficulty of securing servants and
other domestic problems unknown to
our grandmothers have produced, the
old comforts of a well-ordered and
well helped" household have disap-
peared, and all sorts OF labor-saving
schemes are adopted by housekeep'
ers. Many things are omitted from
the menage because the housewife is
too worn out with necessary duties to
attempt any "frills.' The change has
come slowly, but it has come surely,
and though most people regret the
delicacies of the breakfast tables of
yore, they MUNICH their toats or their
French roll in the morning and are
thankful if they get it even hall
warm.
The use of hot bread is largely a
southern custom, and is as universal
now in the southern states as 1t ever
was. No southern family anywhere
in the United States would think OF
serving cold bread for breakfast, and
usually insist upon their biscuit being
hot enough to burn the fingers. Most
southern people do not enjoy any
meal if the hot biscuit or corn bread
Is lacking. In the south every break
fast table is supplied with two and
often three kinds of hot bread, and at
least one kind is served at every
meal, even in the simplest. Light
bread" is, it is true, baked every day
in both rolls and loaves, but even the
loaves are warm when placed upon
the table.
The wholesomeness of hot bread
has been a subject of argument pc
tween the north and the south from
time immemorial, and is no nearer
settlement today than it was twenty
wears ago. Northern physicians and
dentists say hot bread is ruinous tc
the digestion, and that 1t will under
mine the most vigorous health and
destroy the beauty of the most per
feet complexion. Southern doctors
point in refutation of this statement
20 the health and beauty Of many
southern men and women, and so IL
goes. Neither faction gives in, and
each eats the particular sort of bread
his own habits and tastes lead MIN
to prefer.
1t is only the direct necessity that
ever induces southerner to forget
his hot biscuits, and the recent de-
crease in home baking is the strong
est that could be found to show how
st. Louis is losing its southern tone.
