Stevenson's get-up is thus described by a
fellow-member Of the Saville Club: He
wore a black flannel shirt, with a curious
knitted tie twisted In a knot; he had
Wellington boots, rather tight dark trou-
sers, a peajacket, and a white sombrero
hat. But the most astonishing item OF
all in his costume was a ladys sealskin
cape, which he wore about his shoulders,
fastened at the neck by fancy brooch,
which also held together a bunch Of DAT

The virtual abandonment of home rule

When Mr.. Richard Croker carried Off
the Derby stakes thousands Of the curl
Gus were drawn to look up his pedigree
and many clever pedigrees were discOv-
cred for him. One which found a good
deal Of favor with the public was that he
was the son of a professional pugilist,
who was also owner of q famous gin
palace. Another pedigree maker gave
him an Irish blacksmith for father. Mr..
Croker got annoyed. and wrote to the
Irish Society 10 say that his father never
was a professional pugilist, never knocked
out anybody's teeth. never had any CON
rection with the ring. and that he was

PISTOLS QUELL PANIC AT SEA
Officers With Revolvers Restore Order
 on Austrian Ship.

New York, Oct Il. - Battered by great seas almost all the way across the Atlantic, the steamship Giulia of the Austro-American line reached heres from Trieste with news of a desperate struggle with fire in midocean and of panic among the S75 passengers. For ten hours the fire sent smoke rolling in clouds from the hold, and it was only by impressing 100 men from thes steerage to help the crew that thel flames finally were extinguished.
 When the smoke was heaviest the4 passengers became convinced the ship was doomed. Scores fell to their knees| in prayer, but the majority rushed frantically about the deck. It was not until officers threatened them with re- volvers that little order was obtain- ed. Finally the frightened passengers were herded on the after deck and held there by a line of sailors until the fires was flooded out.

Attorney-General Quotes Law to Con-

A number of slow corporations have failed to file in the office of the secretary of state the annual reports required by law, and they are in trouble in consequence. Attorney General Holcomb has sent out the following circular letter:
 "The secretary of the state has reported to me list of corporations which have failed to file the reports required by section 37 of chapter 194 of the Public acts of 1903. Your name appears ill this list as having failed to file the required annual re- port in the office of the secretary of state, and certified copy of the an- nual report in the office of the town clerk of in which town your corporation is located, in Aug ust, 1906, or in February, 1907.
