TOBACCO
The Federal Government will Make War on the Tobacco Trust-Suits Already
 Filed.
CRIMINAL ACTION IS LIKELY
Sixty-five Companies are Held to be a Giant Monopoly Operating in Re
 straint of Trade.

New York, July I0.-The only action taken by the Federal gov ernment today in it's suit for the dissolution of the so-called to bacco trust was the filing with the clerk of the United States Circuit court of the formal bill of complaint against the defendant companies. The action, which is directed principally against the American Tobacco Company, ln- cludes as well the Imperial To bacco Company, the British American Tobacco Company, the United States Cigar Stores Com pany and at least fifty-nine other smaller corporations. Special Counsel J. c. McReynolds and Assistant Attorney General Purdy filed the petition.
 Itis possible, Mr. McReynolds said, though not absolutely cer- tain, that criminal prosecutions may result as part of the action against the tobacco interests. The Sherman antitrust act makes it a crime to operate inres traint of trade. In case criminal actions are brought they will be urgedagainstthe individuals men, toned in the complaint.
 These include James B. Duke, president of the American ToDac- co Company, and who is also a member of the board of mana gers of the British-American Tobacco Company and of the I'm perial Tobacco Company; John J. Cobb, Caleb c. Dula, Robert B. Dula, Wm. R. Harris and Perci- val $. Hill, vice president of the American Tobacco Company; W. c. Reed, American agent for the Imperial Tobacco Company, with an office in Richmond Va: Oliver H. Payne, Thomas F. Ryan, An  thony N. Brady, Benjamin N. Duke, H. M Hanna, Pierre Loril- lard, Grant B. Schiey, Peter A. B. Widener and Williamson w. Fuller, general counsel for the American Tobacco Company. With the exception of Mir. Fuller and MT. Reed, the defendant ts named are all directors of the American Tobacco Company.
 The defendant companies have until the first Monday in August to answer the complaint.

The walls of the Acropolis at Baal- bek are truly called Cyclopean. The famous Trilithon, the largest stones ever used in building, measure respec- lively 65. GA and 63 feet in length. each block weighing about 750 tons. How these huge masses were accurately placed in position 20 feet above the ground is problem which modern science. with all its appliances leaves yet unsolved.
 Above them are Arab Notifications. The quarries whence these gigantic materials were obtained are among the most interesting features of Baal- bek. Here may still be seen the method of work of the ancient quar- rymen, stones vertically hewn lying almost ready to the hand of the build CT. One of these stones. to which the Arabs give the name Hajar-el-Huobia. measures e9 feet in length and weighs 915 tons.
 M. de Saulcy calculates 1t would take the united efforts of 10000 men to put this huge block in motion. This quarry is now used as metropolis by the inhabitants of Baalbek.-Sunday at Home.

IN FAR OFF LIARS.
People of Planet Hoarding Every Drop
 of Water.

While the people on the planet of Mars are supposed to be vastly super for in every way to the inhabitants of this earth, according to Prof. Lest CT F. Ward, of Brown university, they have only about 100000 more years to live. while the people of this world are only beginning their allotted space of 24,000,000 years.
 Thirst will kill the Martians, the professor says, and even now 1t is dry time perpetually up there. Most of the waters that once covered every thing have vanished in the same way that this planet is all the while losing hydrogen, one of the two components of water. This process has proceeded so far on Mars that most of the liquid refreshment of its inhabitants, assum- ing it has such, is confined to narrow circles about the two poles. It is made available for the uses of the Martians only by means of an intri- cate network of canals.
 ''On Mars we can, as 1t were, see with our own eyes race of vast an- tiquity and supreme wisdom. clinging desperately to the orb that bore 1t. half gasping for breath. and hoarding every drop of its precious water, but doomed in the relatively near future to face the lingering death of dying world"
 This gloomy picture, Prof. Ward says. is in store for the people of this earth, but there Is no need of worry at the present time, as 1t is 0,000 years distant.

THE GIRLS BONNET

 THE LACE HAT.
Made of Linen and Plque and May Be Easily Laundered. Pretty Goats
 for the Daughters.

More than one mother will vel. come the knowledge that the day of the befrilled. befurbelowed lace hat Is over. and that its place has been taken by the simple and pretty linen and pique bonnets and hats. such as are pictured here. The fact that they may be often and easily laundered certainly adds to their attractiveness. and they are as dainty as they are practical.
 In our changeable climate coats play so important part in child 8 wardrobe that any new suggestions in regard to making them are most ac' ceptable
 Many of the small girls coats this summer are made of pique or linen hand embroidered Others are oi serge, either white or blue, or of tiny pinetriped flannel. These have blue and pink stripes on a white ground are ornamented with gilt buttons and have washable linen collars and cuffs in colors to match the stripes

The little coat in the center of the picture could, however. be easily made in sheer linen. em- broidered in a floral design. and worn over silk. slip These slips are only tackled to the outside and can read. fly be removed when the lingerie part Is to be washed.
 The seasons bonnets are unusually charming and quaint. Most of them are in poke effects. trimmed with tight little punches of garden flowers and ribbons. Others are in the cloche or mushroom shape. trimmed with sim. pie scarf and loop. while through the knot is stuck a tiny bunch of rose buds. These little bonnets could bo easily copied by mother with even slight aspirations to millinery.
 Fascinating bonnets are also shown of soft, open straw. bent in poke shape. The lingerie hat has by no means lost prestige. and many dainty embroidered or fiounced ones are shown for the little tots; also very cunning sunbonnets of pique and linen.
 Another model is of heavy but fine linen. with a novel motif in embroid- cry running down the front and across the bottom. These coats are expen- sive, even in Paris, where they cost 40 francs. but san easily be copied by a woman who embroiders. and at very little cost. The under collar has just the button-holed scallops. The quaint little hat is of the new cloche shape, in pale yellow chip. trimmed with a white bow and a bunch of pink rose buds.
