New York,-Mrs Lottie Wallau, who
is under arrest charged with having
administered poison to her dying
mother, Mrs. Ida Binge, may go on
the stand to tell the corners jury
her story of her mothers death and
to dispel if she can the suspicious
circumstances recited by the shief
witness against her. Miss Elizabeth
Devine, a nurse.
Miss Devine testified that she sust
pected poisoning after Mrs Wallau on
January %, brought in bottle of
champagne. The wine made the pa1
tent sick and when Miss Devine tast,
ed it she found it bitter and it made
her i'll, too. She and Miss Cleveland
another nurse, took samples of the
bottle and had them analysed.
Dr. Witthaus, who claimed he found
mercury in the organs taken from the
body of Mrs. Binge, testified to thai
fact. The prosecution closed its case
without bringing out any motive for
the alleged crime and this question,
therefore, is as much mystery as
ever.
1t is expected that the defense, ia
any is made before the coroner's jury,
will be that Mrs. Binge committed sui
eide.
Mrs. Wallau, who was heavily yelled
and CARRIED in black, while in court,
showed much emotion and wept wheni
Miss Devine in describing the atti1
tude of the prisoner to her mother
during her illness said:
81 have never seen such devotion
shown by daughter to mother in my
life.'

Increased Appropriations.

It was conceded by senators in
charge Of the agricultural appropria-
ton bill, that the grazing lease pro-
vision will be eliminated from the bill
on point Of order. The reading of
the bill was completed after most Of
the day had been spent in debate on
the forestry system and the grazing
land provision, and the measure will
again be considered for final action.
There is to be decided objection, ac-
cording to Senator Lodge, to several
provisions, and these were passed over
until tomorrow. An amendment was
agreed to, at the suggestion Of Sena-
tor Nelson, which will add $4,000 each
year to the appropriation for agrl-
cultural colleges, until the total
amount for each state for these col
leges shall be $4,000 annually instead
Of $4,000 as at present.

More Room for Steerage.

The navigation bureau of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, in
statement points out that the effect
of section AZ Of the new immigration
act which has just passed both houses
Of congress, is an increase after Jan.
l, 1909, by nearly Is per cent in the
minimum space allowed for each
steerage passenger on ocean steam
ers coming from Europe, Asia, AZ
RIGA, Australia and South America
con the decks where steerage pas
sengers are mainly required to take
passage, it says the law Of 1882 re-
quires that there shall be 100 cubic
feet of space for each passenger. AS
the height between decks is usually
about seven feet, the deck or floor
space allowed is thus IA 1-2 square
feet. The British law Of 1894 requires
fifteen square feet on the deck and
the new immigration Law increases
this area to eighteen feet. The legis-
lation in effect follows the develop
ments In modern ocean steamship
building. Many of the large steamers
and some of the less tonnage already
provide accommodations as ample as
the minimum prescribed by the new
act.
Generally speaking the passenger
steamers from Northern Europe do
not carry any more passengers in the
steerage than will be permitted after
1909 under the new legislation. The
bill will apply chiefly to steamers
coming from the Mediterranean which
already carry at times nearly to their
full legal capacity and must two years
hence either carry fewer passengers
or increase their accommodations. !"

Still at Odds.

Paris.-The ecclesiastical and state
authorities are still at odds over two
points relating to the contracts for
church leases, namely: The clause
holding the parish priests, as les
sees, responsible for keeping the
churches in repair and the clause pro-
hibiting members cf dissolved relig-
ious orders from becoming parties to
contracts. The church authorities
maintain that it is impossible for the
priests to personally assume liability
for keeping the churches in repair.
This clause, however, is considered to
be adjustable, but, on the other point,
the prelates who are close to Cardi-
nal Richard, less optimistic claiming
that the former monks are now secu-
lar priests. The negotiations on the
latter point are apt to be slow, as
Cardinal Richard must consult with
his colleagues in the episcopate and
secure the approval of the vatican at
every step. The clerical newspapers
claim that the continuation of the
negotiations is a distinct victory for
the church.

Santo Domingo Treaty.

The senate made public the treaty
between the United States and the
Dominican republic, providing for the
collection of the revenues Of the lat
ter country for tire benefit Of cred
itors, by general receiver and as
sistants to be appointed by the prss-
ident Of the United States. The trea-
ty directs that the sums collected shall
be applied as follows:
|. To paying the expenses Of the
receivership; 2, to the payment of in
terest upon bonds; 3 to the payment
Of the annual sums provided for
amortization of said bonds, including
interest upon all bonds held in sink
ing funds; 4, to the purchase and
cancellation of the retirement, and
cancellation, pursuant to the terms
thereof, Of any of said bonds as may
be directed by the Dominican repub-
lie; 5, the remainder to be paid to the
Dominican republic.
The expenses of collection are linn
tied to 5 per cent OF the total, and it
is required that on the first day Of
each month 100000 shall be paid to
the fiscal agent of the loan. The re-
mainder Of the previous months col
lections is to be turned over to the
Dominican government or to be placed
in the sinking fund for the redemp-
ton of bonds. Any collection in ex-
cess Of 100000 a year is also to
be placed in the sinking fund. The
Dominican government is not permit
ted to increase its public debt or mod
ify. its import duties, until all its
bonds are paid, without the consent Of
the president of the United States.

Of London, in 1867, and amounting to
between $2,3OO,OO0 and $2,4OO,OOO,
will be distributed among the edu-

states at this time.
This decision was reached after a
six hours meeting Of the trustees Of

meeting of the trustees shall take
place in New York in November next,
when it is expected that the proposed
distribution of the money will be

destrian oxford in mat kid-this style being especially recommended for gen. eral street wear. Pumps are especial ly we'll liked tbis season, and although many people do not find them quite so comfortable as an oxford where very much walking is necessary, they are more popular than any other style of low shoes. Figure three shows good model, which may be had in tan or russet leather, in black kid or patent leather or in white or colored canvas.
 Figure four shows another model in a pump, and No. 5 more unusual cut for a low shoe. This last model Is especially good in colored kid or tan or black leather. The high shoe shown in the sketch is considered particular ly smart, the black patent leather lower part having an upper of white kid, with black buttons.
 Shoes to match the gowns with which they are worn will be more in vogue than ever this season, and with white and light-colored gowns the can vas shoes to match are very attractive.
 For general street wear tan shoes and hosiery are in order, and have the advantage of requiring less care than black shoe. on which dust so readily shows.
 Hosiery is also most important in considering fashionable footgear,y The lace and openwork styles are shown in the shops, but are not as smart as the thin plain weaves or those show ing silk clocks or small embroidered designs. The hosiery should always. match, the shoe in color, except where a white shoe is worn. when light pink, blue or other light colors are permissi- bls.

NEW SHADE OF RED.
Pronounced Color Popular With Fash
 ions Devotees.

Dragons blood is the new shade of red which has been brought into prominence. and although the name suggests heathenism. colorists seem to have dipped deep into the heart of the American Beauty rose for their, newest inspiration. Not that fashion, able women have tired of the browns and greens, for these are in evidence everywhere. and scarcely any two shades alike. but Paris likes novelty and the couturieres must supply 1t in color when there is a Hull in the num- Der of designs or new decorative schemes
 Browns of various shades come next to blues, but few very dark shades will be worn. Golden browns and rus set shades are the deepest and for summer wear the tans and ecrus, as always. will be much seen.
 The coming shade of green will be that rich. pure tone called forest green. It lacks the blue of the emer- aid tones and the yellow of the bronze shades. It is an especially good shade with which to place other colors with out discords.
