WE'D IN WET DRESS
GIRL DROPS 1000 FEET AND
MARRlES.
With Her Parachute, Fair Aeronaut
Falls into River, but Is Rescued
without Injury.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, July 5.-After
balloon ascension that has never
been eoualed in this section Miss Mag
ole DALEY. of this city, made a para
chute leap while 1000 feet in the air
and landed in the middle of the Wall
lIu River late yesterday. She mar
rovvlv escaped death by drowning. She
was rescued by Thomas Reagan, a resi-
dent of this city, and Immediately aft
onward was married to G. Arthur
crockett in the presence of a wildly
cheering crowd and in hser dripping
clothes. The bride has announced that
she would never make another ascen-
sion.
Miss Daley is 20 years old and be-
came an aeronaut by accident. On
Memorial Day of last year she saw a
professional aeronaut make an ascen-
sion. When the balloon was ready
again some of Miss Dailey's girl COM
panions dared her to go up. She ran
forward. grasped the parachute and in
an instant was 5000 feet in the air.
After that she made several ascenslons,
narrowly escaping death several times.
During an ascension at Ellenville last
fall one of the guy ropes of Miss
Dailey's balloon wound around the leg
of a Mrs. Roper, of Brooklyn, n car
ried her into the air. Miss Daley, with
great presence of mind, lowered the
balloon, caught Mrs. Roper by the hair
and saved her from death. Miss Daley
then gave up aeronautics.
Recently her engagement to G. Ar
thur Brockett, a young Erie Railroad
fireman, was announced. Friends OIL
Miss Daley suggested that she make
one last ascension, and large induce
ments were offered by the manage
ment Of Midway Park to make it on the
Fourth and to wed her flance in the
presenceSof the crowd afterward. Miss
Daley made the ascension at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon. 1t is estimated a
she went 1000 feet. She made the para
chute leap at about 1000 feet and land
ed in the middle of the Waikiki River,
the parachute e~nveloping her.

NECK ORNAMENTS.

Among the really useful trinkets may
be counted the flexible metal supports Tor
collars. The newest of these are shown
set with sapphires or diamonds. In ms
form they make a decidedly satisfactory
substitute for fe~atherbone.
There is nothing more becoming to a
woman than a simple ribbon or a band OF
black velvet around the throat, and these
ribbons are now decorated with jewels,
spangles and tiny beads.
Seed pearls on velvet are lovely, and
for older women steel beads and paste on
black are most appropriate.
An idea that is novel as well as pretty
is a neat little bow tied in the front. with
a ieweled pendant hung from the centre.
A most effective little neck ornament
may be made in this way. using a tiny
nook and eye under the bow to fasten the
ribbon end that goes round the throat.

TO WHlTEN CLOTHES.

Using turpentine in the boil water will
whiten clothes which have grown yellow
from age or by being put away with
starch in them. 1t does not injure the
article to rub turpentine on very bad spots
before the article is washed.
There are bleaching qualities In the COM
mon jimpson weed which grows wild in
the yard. sometimes in alleys. The leaves
or prickly pods can be tied In a muslin
bag and boiled in the boiling water before
the clothes are put into II. 1t makes
clothes beautifully white, more so than
many expensive cloth bleachers. ut is a
method ''as old as the hills" but we'll
worth passing along to young readers.

FAD FOR TAN SHOES.

Tan and brown shoes are going TO be
very expensive. The reason for this is be-
cause people adopted the style regardless
of the manufacturers, and all shoe dealers
claim there IL great difficulty Just at pres
ent In meeting tho demand. This VIII
mean that prices will be very high until
the dealers nav a full supply of this kind
OF goods. The tan, shoes are as fashion
able as the dark chocolate browns. yet by
no means are the lighter shades ms beau-
tiful as the dark colors.

PRINTED CHIFFON.

Some very neat print effects In CHIFFON
are on the market. and the material looks
well for evening gowns. The grade Is not
chean looking and combines beautifully
With ribbons which match the floral effect.
Nothing is heater for a dress of this kin
than smoking, which gives a splendid
yoke finish to the waist and skirt, too. IL
is a dress material which LOOKS very neat
with rufies and as many as Is desired can
be used upon the skirt. The triple ruffie
as pretty. and when banded with narrow
eilk ribbons 1t makes a very stylish dress.

Is trimmed with old rose-colored velvet
ribbon. which is fastened In the centre OF
the crown, and artistically drawn back in
loops and folds. On both sides of the hat
are two beautiful wings the same color as
the ribbon. the wings being rather long

be Numbered. The skirt is formed with
wide box plaits, fiaring from the knee

reveres and closes down the front with

Pretty link buttons can be made with
ornamental buttons. Fasten two buttons
together with a heavy string or fine wire,

MID SUMMER MILLINERY.

There win be no midsummer millinery
this coming season only as the m~illiners
brig forth new hats made in imitation of
what is on the market. The present styles
seemingly give perfect satisfaction, there
fore the shapes will continue throughout
the summer season with only a variation
now and again in regard to the trimming.
Most of the Mikado hats are trimmed in
the front with the trimming gracefully
directed toward the back of the hat,
where 1t is gracefully arranged to look at
tractive over the low c~oiffure.

Not long ag1 someone said that II
men were compelled to practise what
they preached most of them would
give up the preaching habit.
And so they would. The person is
hard to n who does not enjoy telling
his neighbor how he should act and
what he should do under all circum-
stances. from the settling of the family
estate to the matter of having a tooth
pulled instead of filled.
What lofty heights his sentiments
reach as he points out that %renuncia-
ton of a cherished project is n of the
noblest things the human mind can
do, but just give him an opportunity
to something he wants. Does
he do 1t? No. Like all other men. when
they want to excuse themselves for
what they do, he says. this is diff
ferent."
However. there is satisfaction in the
thought that If he does not practise
what he breaches, no one else does
either. MOLLIE.

MOBILIZE
Again It's over.

Well, after hooting and bowling and
exploding innumerable pounds of pow
der in order to display our patriotic
spirit, we have settled down for another
year to do our duty as quiet, peace
loving citizens.
One cannot help wondering what John
Hancock and his colleagues would have
said had they journeyed earthward yes
terday and witnessed one of the results
Independence.
The man who kept his dignity and
did not succumb nee to the charms of
~torpedoes or firecrackers or any one of
those ingenious noise-making, fire-emit-
ting contrivances was a crank, indeed,
though we must admit that he was
hard to find. Most men claimed that
they only INDUCED In the play for the
benefit of the youngsters, but we all
know differently, and lone knows bet
ter than the small boys, who stood by
disgustedly. thinking how much better
they could have lone the tricks them
selves.
Well, it's a good thing we have such
days. We are grown ups so much of
the time hat 1t does us good to be
youngsters occasionally.
Poor Mothers!
There were some persons who did not
exactly enter into the spirit of the day,
and they were the anxious mothers,
who were literally ION pins and nee
dies, all day long, for fear something
would happen to their v%enturesome off,
spring. I know of one woman who for
weeks back has been tormented with
visions of lockjaw, of which she enter
tanned the most lively fear. Last year
che read of several cases of tetanus
which came as aftermaths of slight
wounds and burns In which powder had
entered, and since then she has held
any kind of fireworks, from the little
penny crackers to the great, big rock
cts, as not safe to be touched. It's a
wonder to some people that she lived
through yesterday at all, so busy was ,
she, looking first out of II window and
another, to see that her youngsters
were near no 'celebraters."
The best her children received were
tiny torpedoes that hardly made a
noise. and cap pistols the echoes of
which were just about as faint.
OF course they envied some of the
children in the neighborhood. but when
night came they were safe n sound,
which is more than may be said of
many of the rest of young America"
1t certainly Is a great holiday.

THE POLLUTED HUDSON.

Much attention has recently been called to the
pollution OF the Hudson River from Albany down
by the discharge into II OF sewage from the towns
and cities along its banks and it has been Justly
argued that such pollution was sufficient TO rem
der much OF the ice cut along that stream Of
rather worse than doubtful fitness for human
consumption in food or drink Nobody would
think Of drinking the water without careful
filtration or other publication, and If It ia not
fit to drink before It is frozen ii surely is not
fit TO drink after it has been frozen and melted
again.
So much might be said even If the stream
came down to Troy and Albany in a state Of
decent purity. But the State Board of Health
now reports that not to be the case. The Hud
son is grossly contaminated far above those
cities, on those upper reaches which might be
supposed to be pure Above Waterford it is the
common drain and sewer for q population of
tens or thousands. and also for extensive indus
trial establishments. Indeed. considering the
smaller size Of the stream up there II NAV be
reckoned that the population on its headwaters
dehles II fully as much as do the more popuIous
communities further down.
We venture to assume that the State Board of
Health means to do something for the correction
Of these conditions and has not made this re-
port as mere matter OF form. The villages OF
Saratoga Springs and Round Lake are said now
TO be disposing Of their sewage SO as not to
pollute the streams flowing into the Hudson. and
Ballston is about to do the same There is no
good reason why all villages up there should not
do 1t, and none why manufacturing establish
ments should not keep their often poisonous
waste out Of the river In England the principle
has been maintained that factories are In that
respect upon a different basis from residential
communities. and that, while ordinary house
ana street drainage may naturally be permitted
10 now Into the nearest stream, there is no such
right for the waste Of factory. which must
be otherwise disposed Of If that principle were
generally applied here much Of the worst Dollu
ton OF rivers would be abated.

LORD CROMER.

Something like epoch in the history of the
oldest country in the world is marked by the
announcement Of Lord CrOmer's resignation.
The news comes as a surprise, and it is not
welcome surprise. Indeed, many will be inclined
to regard it with great dlsquietude, and will
not easily he treasured. II is a comforting and
SOUND philosophy to be sure that no man is in
dispensabe. But the world knows by painful
experience that some men are so exceptionally
valuable that their departure from the scene Of
their activities is very great. and sometimes,
far human ability avails, an lrreparable
loss. Such man, it may unhesitatngly be
said, is the Earl of CrOmer in Egypt. If he is
not Indispensable. he comes about near 10 be-
ing as does any man in any place in the
world of our time.
In considering the worth OF his services we
should not dwell exclusively, nor perhaps even
first, upon what they have meant to Great Brit
ain, though it is obvious that in that respect
Lord Cromer must always be ranked among tie
greatest of British empire builders. But We
should above all. consider what he has done
for Egypt and the Egyptians. He has made Of
one of the worst oppressed OF Turkish provinces
emancipated and prosperous nation. and he
has transformed the fellah-that one-time cross
between a parlah and II helOt-into a man
From time to time have reviewed the prog
ress of his work for the rehabilitation of Egypt
industrially. politically, socially and morally
and have adyisedy characterized II as one of
the greatest, perhaps the greatest of the kind
ever performed In the world. Now, in reviewing
the whole fourteen years story We have no mind
nd see no cause to modify that opinion. These
fourteen years have been an epoch in Egyptian
history They have been no less notable an
epoch in the history of humanity. For no other
such land has such a work been done
I will ho M n N Gfp %
say that the world can scarcely expect more of
him than that he shall prove worthy successor
TO Lord Cr0mer. That he VIII do so there is
good ground for confidence. He Is In the prime
Of life, he Is endowed with ample information
and with the fruits OF long experience Of Egypt
and Egyptian affairs. and he has for a number
of years been in close touch and sympathy with
Lord CrOmer- 1t is to be anticipated that he
will maintain the general policy which has thus
far been so splendidly successful. and that the
rehabilitation of Egypt which has been one of
the most interesting and beuehcent achieve
ments of the age will suffer no relapse nor
dimInutiOn
