TACOMA, Feb. 14.-Within the
next few days the most valuable
rail shipment ever made out of this
city will be eclipsed by a trainload of
a single Tacoma product to go east
over the Canadian Pacific railroad.
There is now at the Tacoma smelt-
er in readiness for transportation
to it's destination 100000 pounds
of copper bars, which will go to fill
an order OF the Baltimore Copper
Smelling and Roller company. The
copper is worth $250,000.
1t will be carried by water to Van
couver, B. c., where it will be placed
in nineteen cars, each one Of which
will have a load worth more than
$4,000

COSTLY CORSETS FOR
CORPULENT ONES
Fashion DEGREES That the Fat Eel
lows Must Shape Their Forms
With Corscts.
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, February IA.
-Corsets for corpulent men waist
coat buttons costing from S. to $50
apiece for those who wish to put up
a swell front, the long solf roll effect
in lapels and straight box coats
whether or not they are friendly to
your physical conformation, are a
few of the rules which were laid
down for the well-dressed man OF
1907 by the Merchant Taiiors' Pro-
tective association at its recent
meeting in the Arlington hotel.
Spring styles and plates exhibit
ing them will be issued within few
weeks, according to leading members
who were present.
Narrow shoulders, with rather
square effect, and shorter sack coats
will rule. Pads upon the shoulders
and the long, loose effect of all coats,
will have to go.
Vents in the coats will be "cut
out" or rather not cut at all unless
, the customer insists, and so far as
possible the tailors bind themselves
to discourage him in rersisting in roi-
| lowing the styles of the past two
years. Double-breasted coats will be
| tabooed, and the sleeves will be made
easy fitting.
| Anything that is bright and ex-
pensiVe will be permitted for waist
coats, and the ultra-fashionable will
add to them jeweled buttons to his
| limit as to the price. One on the
samples shown was a sort of rich
brocaded silk with amber buttons
whose centers were tiny rubies.
Trousers may be turned up at the
owners taste. They will be in blue,
brown and various shades of green,
although mixed goods will be per-
Missile.
In overcoats the surtOut and pale
tot will be dropped and a form-fit-
ting, straight box coat will prevail

OF HARRY THAT
CONES TO ABRUPT ENE
Death of Jurors Wife Causes a
Suspension in Proceeding
Will Be Resumed Monday

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Owing to
the death of the wife of Joseph Boil
ton, one of the jurors, the trial of
Harry K. Thaw, was this morning
postponed until next Monday morn
ing, and the jurors were permitted
to go to their homes.
Mrs Bolton has been i'll for sew
eral days with double pneumonia.
Her husband, who had been lock-
ed up with the eleven other jurors
fer more than three weeks, was al
lowed to visit his home twice yes
terday and again early today. He
was accompanied on each occasion
| by two other jurors and two court
officers. Last night he was permitted
to remain forty-fve minutes.
!, Bolton was in his place in the jury
box when court convened today, but
| it was known that his wife's condi-
ton was so critical that he might
be called away at any moment. The
session had been in progress less
than fifteen minutes with DR.. Evans
continuing his direct testimony when
| the summons to the juror came. His
home is far up in the Bronx and
when Bolton arrived his wife was all
but dead She had been kept alive
by oxygen until he arrived, but eX-
pired within an hour after he reach
ed her bedside.
Jurors Return to Their Homes.
1t was agreed, on motion of Dis
trict Attorney jerome, that the other
eleven jurors should not be kept 1ln-
der lock and key.
| ct would have been well if the
rule could have been adhered to I'M
til the end of the trial, but this I'M
fortunate occurrence has prevented
it,
you will be allowed to return to
your homes now; but let ne appeal
to your honor to not read any news
paper stories of the case: not to
speak to any one about the case, and
not to allow any one to speak to you
trust you may not be submitted
! to any annoyance. Guide your
selves according to the dictates OF
your honor. You will return here
Monday morning, at which time
hope we may be able to continue
the case

Some Prominent Col
Ored Men.

William Florville, who resides
at 1900 East Adams street in
beautiful one story house, is the
richest colored man in the city
and owns a vast amount of real
property and has "plenty" of
money, though his appearance
does not warrant the assertion
He goes plain and 'hustIes' as
though he did not know where or
how he were to get his next meal
He looks more like an Oriental
than colored MN, but he is
:'colored,' His present wife,
P ,rtugee, is one of the most en-
ergetic woman in the city, color
ed people or Negros shou d take
lessons. and strive after the man.
We mention him here because he
deserves to be emulated, especl-
ally along the industrial line.
