WILL TELL ALL
The Capitol Scandle in Phila- deIphIa VIII Be Disclosd By
 One of the Accused
MAN HIGHER UP

Philadelphia, Aug 22.-A special from Johnstown, Pa, says James M. Shumaxer, former, superintendent oi public buildings and grounds at liar risburg, who is implicated by the re- ports of the Capitol investigation committee, has declared that he will make full confession of all he knows in connection with the Capitol scan dal. He claims that the manipula- ton of funds was engineered by a high official of the state at Hafris- burg to cover up shortage in the state treasury. M Shumaker lives at Johnstown and when he was subpoenaed to appear before the Capitol investigation com mission tell what he knew he pleaded illness and remained se- cluded in his house. Now he IS ap- parently ready to divulge important secrets when the trials begin in Sep tember.
 Shumaker's statement, given out by one of his closest personal and political friends, is as follows:
 .'I am going on, the witness stand to tell everything. will not Keep back a single secret and when l get through I will show that man hign in official life at Harrisburg ought to go to the penitentiary.
 q have committed no wrong. The probers may be after me. but will go after the man they are pro tecting. will not spare him. am going to tell everything I know. do not propose to suffer for the sins of a scoundrel who knew of the col lossal graft but refused to stop it, as I urged. I know what the graft was for, that 1t was to cover a treasury shortage and save, the name of a for mer United States senator from Pennsylvania, now dead. I am anx- ious to go on the stand and the soon- CT the better for me.
 "I want to get myself right before the people, for, so help me God. am an innocent man"

CHANGE IN STYLES
Mems Evening Dress Suits Will Avoid the UsRal Black and
 Go in For Colors.

New York, Aug 22. Some inter- esting changes in the style of mems clothes in the coming season is indi- cated at the annual garment and style exhibit now on view here. Of all the evening suits on exhibition there from the scissors of some of the most celebrated tailors in the country, two-;hirds are made of blue worsted. The material is very dark and in certain lights cannot be dis tinguished from black. The new suits are otherwise not much differ ent than the evening clothes of last year. The tails are chopped off a bit squarer, but that is all.
 An innovation which is to be sought, but of which some doubt is expressed, is the introduction of many new aolors. They range any where from cream brown to Nile green
 The sack, coat of many colors will be cut very full, the same as the style of three years ago.
 There are other styles coming back. The man who has kept pad dock overcoat in moth ball tomb for two years, because whenever he puts it on he attracts more than his share of the attention of his fellow men,. can get it out again this win ter. The slit back coat will be quite the thing.
 Sack coats will be cut much short CT this winter, and it is hinted that before long the dear old coats of your college days, which ended just below your belt. will be back.
 Raglan shoulders: that is, the shoulders that were not shoulders at all, are also to return.

OUR OWN HAGUE
Peace Conference With Delegates From Many Staies Assem-
 bled in Mystic To-Day
SUBJECT FOR DISPUTE

Mystic, Aug 22.-Advocates of peace from eastern states gathered in the Peace temple at Mystic grove to-day to open the forty-first annual conference of the Universal Peace association, and the fortieth annual camp meeting in the. grove. After the effort made last year to have the place of conference located near Philadelphia. some fears have been entertained that the number of members who would come here this year would show a falling of, but the early arrivals were fully as many as in any recent year. There will be the customary two sessions a day through Sunday with many speakers assigned to each session. As the proceedings of the peace con ference at The Hague have been closely followed it is expected that a number of resolutions dealing with the subjects of disarmament, war fare on land and sea, and of social and economic conflicts in this coun- try will be presented and discussed. in fact a forecast of the conference is to the effect that the committee on resolutions will be busily engaged every day.
 The usual welcoming address was made by Alfred H. Love of Philadel- phia this forenoon, as president of the national body and President James Watrous of the Connecticut branch responded
 A preliminary roll call showed del. egates present from twenty-three states and the maritime provinces, and one each from England, Cuba, Japan and Mexico.
 To some of the pre-announced subjects for discussion much inter est attaches and lengthy discussion of some particular may mean exten- sion of the sessions beyond the time limit.
 To-day Prof Daniel Batcheller of Philadelphia, James H. Earle of Newton, Mass, Dr William Mcdowell of New York and Mrs Susan s. Fes- senden were expected, the last named on Political Deals and Peace"
 It is not believed that the sub ject of removal of the place of meet ing will be brought up this year, al- though many of the leading workers in the movement are of the opinion that more general interest in the conferences could be secured if a grove could be secured near a large center of population.

London. Aug a2.-oontrary to ex- pectation the Bank of England's rate of discount was not changed at to- days meeting of the directors of that Institution. Last weeks increase of the rate from { to 41s per cent brought foreign exchanges to a level at which exp1rtations of gold to Lon don were profitable, thus materially improving the situation here and doing away with the necessity for an immediate increase In the rate. However. should there be any signs of attempts to take gold from here the present rate will immediately be raised.
 Consols further improved at the opening of ihe stock exchange to- day.
 Americans were steady at frac- tions on either side of parity level.

The Proper Way Of Treating This In.
siGicus Disease.


One OF the earnest S!gn, OF con-
sumption j. lo-> OF strength and
flesh. and this should always arouse
suspicion in III" case OF Il Young man
or woman when there j. no other
evident cau.~ ."" il. In addition to
the gradual cln&ciatIon. there VIII

whitcncSS Of the eyes, poor appe-
lite and Indigestion. There may be
feveriShncSs in the afternoon, to-
gethcr with hacking cough and
sometimes little splitting of blood.
but this is more commonly sign
which appears in the later stages.
The two mainstays of the person
threatened with or actually suffer
ing from consumption are fresh air
and a generous diet. In no disease
should the injunction to "throw
physic to the dogs" be so faithfully
obeyed.
If possible, the consumptive
should sleep actually in the open
air, on a balcony sheltered from
the north and east winds, but if this
cannot be done the windows of the
bedroom should be kept wide open
at night, and the bed should be so
placed that it is bathed in the air
entering from without. The pa
tients often fear this will give them
colds or increase the cough, but it
docs just the opposite. Of course
the sleeper should be well protect
ed. with a hood in very cold wealth
erl and a warm sleeping robe so as
not to become chilled if the bed
clothes are accidentally displaced.
The DAYTIME should be passed in
the open air. The patient, if weak
ness or fever keeps him from
walking, should sit all day on a
porch or by an open window on the
sunny side of the house and should
practice full, deep breathing for a
few minutes at time frequently.
The diet should be as nutritious
as it is possible to make it. Eggs
and milk should be the standbys.
with a good allowance Of meat and
also of fat if fat can be digested.
Care must be taken not to upset the
stomach, for much depends upon
good digestion, but a patient living
in the open air day and night will
be aStonished at the quantity of
food he can cat and assimilate.
Fever at any part of the day is a
sign to avoid fatiguing exercise.
The bowels must be kept in proper
condition.-Iouth's Companion.
