ELEVATOR TOOK DROP.
The Apothecaries Hall Car Went
 Down Six Stories.

The elevator in the Apothecaries Hall company's building, dropped from the sixth story to the basement this noon. There were half a dozen persons on board at the time and all escaped injury. The drop was not rapid or dangerous. but it was fast enough to give those on board ] bad scare. The man in charge tried in vain several times to stop the down flight, and this had the effect of les sening the speed of the car. The trouble seemed to have been with a cable which slipped. and down went the car. A new cable was put on as soon as possible and the car was rllu ming all right this afternoon.

AT THE HAGUE
Rules in Regard to Opening of Possibilities Were Adopted
 To-Day
NOWIRELESS STATIONS

The Hague, Sept. 7.-The fifth plenary sitting of the peace con frence, M. Nelidoff presiding, met to- day in the Knight hall. The dele gates were not so numerous as at former sittings, several of them be- ing temporarily absent. The whole American delegation was present.
 After the minutes of the last sit ting had been approved the following rules regarding the opening of hos tilities were adopted a few countries making reserves:
 "The contracting powers agree that hostilities must not begin with out previous unequivocal notice hav- ing been given, either in the form of a declaration of war setting forth its motives, or in the form of an ultimatum with a conditional dec laration of war.
 "A state of war must be notified without delay to the neutral powers, the effect for the latter beginning after they receive notice, which can be given by wire. In any case the neutral powers cannot protest against the lack of this notice if it is es- tablished that they undoubtedly knew that state of war existed"
 The sitting also approved, with some reservations, the agreements concerning the rights and duties of neutral states in time of war The land rules include the following:
 "The territory of neutral states is inviolable.
 'Belligerents cannot establish wireless telegraph stations in neutral territory or any other means of com munication with belligerent forces on land or sea.
 Volunteers cannot. be enlisted or a body of combatants formed in neutral territory.
 The exportation of provisions from neutral states and the transport of provisions, for belligerents, are for bidden.
 "Belligerents are allowed to use
 
 to neutral or private companies.
 Prisoners who escape to neutral territory, if recaptured by troops, must, after having asked for refuge in neutral state, be set free.
 "A neutral state can defend its neutrality by force without this con stituting an act of hostility" ..--. ~ When the project regarding the treatment of neutrals on belligerent territory was brought up, Baron Marshall Won Bieberstein Germany said that Germany could not admit the principle supported by Great to employ neutrals in war fare when the laws of belligerent state permitted it. Germany. on the maintained that neutrals must take no part in war.
 The proposition on this subject was returnel to the committee for further study, in the hope of reaching an understanding acceptable to all.
 The Bulgarian delegation submit ted the following proposition as an to the American proposal Tor the establishment of a permanent court of arbitration:
 ''The permanent court of arbitra- ion to sit at. the Hague shall be of fifteen judges, a third ,f whom shall be renewed every hree years, beginning from the day ,f the organization of the court.
 "The first and second renewal of he judges shall occur by drawing a hird of the number by lot, while ! he successive renewals shall occur 1 liter the expiration of nine years | rom the day of the election or re- election of judges. as the latter can Ilways be re-electedd."

FOR NEW WATER ROUTE.
Effort to Connect Great Seas and
 Gulf of Mexico.


 Washington, D. c. Sept. "A
 tremendous, concerted and well-con-
 sidered effort is to be made at the
 approaching session of congress to
 secure the enactment of legislation
 looking to the creation of a water
 route between. the Great Lakes and
 the Gulf of Mexico. The idea in
 cludes not only the improvement of
 the Mississippi river, but also the
 opening of a ship canal between
 Lake Michigan and the Mississippi. The development of such a scheme
 is of vast importance to the middle
 west and north west, particularly. although, incidentally, it would be of immense benefit to practically the entire country During the week of
 October 4th, the lakes to the gulf
 waterways convention it to be held at Memphis, Tenn. President Roose- welt will be the principal speaker at the convention and it is expected that he will outline his policy toward the project which is of so great inn portance to the whole Mississippi val ley. The invitation to attend the convention was signed by the Gov ernors of seventeen states, in addi- tion to the representatives of many influential, industrial and munich pal bodies. The fact that he accept ed the invitation indicates that, in a general way at least, he is in sym pathy with the project to open a di- hAt LA o1, and the Gulf, as that will be the most important subject discussed at the convention.
 It is the hope of the promoters of the convention to persuade the president to give in his December message to congress a strong en- dorsement of the waterway project
 It can be said, however, that what he may do in this respect will be guided by the opinion of the in- land waterway development com mission, which was created by the president last spring for the express purpose of examining into the lakes to-the-gulf proposition. The com mission, accompanied by the presi- dent. for the greater par. of the dis tance. will inspect the Mississippi river from St Paul to Memphis.
 It is known that. at present, the commission does not favor the im- mediate inauguration of the project, but it is not known just what the members will propose as an alter 1 native scheme. The advocates of the 1 of the ship canal pro- jeet hope to be able, at the Memphis to induce the president | and the waterway commission to l make an immediate beginning on tho l work.
 Students of the transportation | problem have reached tho conclusion | that the time has arrived for the | opening of the inland waterways to | all the trafic they will carry. In the middle west and northwest, they | say. the situation is serious. The I railroads are unable to carry the products of the country. because of | lack of equipment and otleT facili- ties. This causes high freight charges which are a real burden on the shippers of that part of the c0uh- try. It appears to be quite eertsin hat congress will devote a good deal Df attention to the development of he island waterways in the hope of the freight situation which has developed during the past two ,r three years

Women Who Wear Wen.

It is astonishing how great q change 1
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron Is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect TO deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak.
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.
