WORN BY PARISIANS
MODES THAT HAVE SANCTION OF
 THE GAY CAPITAL.
Empire Styles Still Have Their De- voted FoIIowers-DarIno schsmss of Dressing Hats Are to 1o
 Seen on All Sides,

Who said the Empire styles had gone out? As @ matter of fact, they will never go out. Some of us take an interest in dress chiefly because of the possibilities of returning every now and again to the vague draperies which are irresistible, especially as a change from defined waists and bell. shaped skirts. says Paris correspond- ent. There is nothing that cannot be done (as the Greeks well knew) with straight, broad lines as the basis to work upon. Unbroken lines are al. ways decorative, while the richest elaborations oAly gain by being framed in simplicity.
 A proof that the Empire styles still hold sway is that several of the beau. tiful gowns worn in La Plus Amour. euse" at the vaudeville are either cut on orthodox Empire principles or rep. resent a compromise between the Princess and Empire.
 A very original dress in the latter fashion was made of cerise mous- seline de sole, with shoulder straps and Greek sleeves. the upper portion of the arm being bare. a prim little muslin tucker intervening between the actual dress and the decolletage. Another gown, the lines of which arc borrowed from the late eighteenth century modes. was composed of white-striped gauge. the decolletage being embroidered with roses. as was also the bottom of the skirt, where. however. black ribbon. velvet placed crosswise gave distinctive note.
 Second only to the evening dress. there is no item in a woman's ward- robe which presents difhculties equal to the evening cloak. The latter rs. Quires to be rich, warm. not too per- ishable. and withal light and supple. It must not be overladen with trim mings. and it should not be severe.
 Though faded and subdued colors are all the vogue. the most unexpected contrasts are aimed at. Especially n hats Is every juxtaposition permissi- ble. I have just seen three feathers placed in a bunch on one hat. which were respectively brown. purple and green in rather . dead" note; other> wise, of course, the combination would be intolerable.

w THEN the mighty tembloI
wv struck San Jose on that fata
18th of last April, and the
great Mount Hamilton shook as leaf
upon tree, a man with bronzed face
awoke in his lonely camp, on the noun
tain side, and thought of the little city
nesting at the foot of the hills.
He thought of the city, but it was
of one family in that city that he
thought most. He mounted his bronco
and as he made down the steep noun
there was only one member of that
family upon whom he could concen-
trate his thoughts.
When he finally dashed up the main
street of San Jose with his bronco
foaming, his sombrero grasped in his
hand and his hair flying in the wind,
the calamity stricken people paused to
look.
The man saw them not-his thoughts,
like his horses head, were turned
toward the home at 65 Fox avenue.
When he arrived there he found a
girl and-a great happiness, for she
was safe.
He had seen the girl many times
before and she had been like other
girls, a nice girl and perhaps just a
little bit nicer than most girls, but in
that moment of danger she became

romance came a marriage license, here

the marriage license was a wedding

RAILROAD PROMISES WONDERS
FOR TUCKED=IN MINING CAMP

From Phoebe, formerly one of the
most remote camps in Eastern Nevada,
to Los Angeles in twenty-four hours is
the trip over which E. F. Frudelthal,
who is at the Hollenbeck, is rejoicing.
Mr.. Frudelthal is superintendent and
general manager of the Nevada -Utah
Mining company, vice president or the
Bristol Consolidated Mines and Smelt-
ing company, and one of the principal
owners of the Jackrabbit mine. For
twenty-five years he has been operat-
ing in the Phoebe district, and the near
est railroad was 100 miles away.
"Things are changing, and L cannot
believe that it was only yesterday
morning that / was in the mines. For
merly it was a great undertaking for us
to go anywhere, and we would think
nothing of allowing a week for such
trip as this. I have never been in Los
Angeles before, but I have always
wanted to come. Yesterday morning
we left Phoebe at o'clock and staged
% miles to reach the Salt Lake station.
In little while the branch of the Salt
Lake will be built into Phoebe. and then
we can come right through without any
long trips.
This railroad will open great ter
ritory and make many rich men.
Eighteen years ago there were seven
or eight thousand people in Phoebe, but
three years ago the population dwindled
to about 300 The rich properties We're
there, but the people found they could
not get the ore out because of lack Of
railroad facilities. Now the whole
country is opening up, and when the
railroad finally comes through we Will

day. We have it there now ready to
be shipped, but we have no way of
sending it out.

cause the district is so soon to be con-
nected with Los Angeles. This will be
our logical center. We can get here
in less time than to Salt Lake, San
Francisco or any other big city of the
west.
"In the early days Phoebe gave prom

SAN FRANCISCO MILITIA
DISMISSED IN DISGRACE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. accompanies
A and H, First infantry, N. G. c., and
troop A, First squadron of cavalry, N.
G. c., located at San Francisco, Cal,
having fallen below the standard of
efficier =, are, upon the recommended
tion of the brigade commander, ordered
disbanded and mustered out of the SER
vice of the state, to take effect January
s, 1907" Thus reads an order from the
adjutant general.
This is the elimination of trouble that
has been brewing for, several months in
the ranks of the San Francisco militia.
1t means that the companies named in
the order are disgracefully dismissed
from the service.
The trouble which brought about the
dismissal began soon after the earth
quake and disaster at San Francisco
and arose from the fact that the men
and officers refused to obey the orders
of the adjutant general and would not
attend practice of drills. There was an
undercurrent of discomfort not only in
the companies that have been mustered
out but also in several others.
