Nearly 1900 persons witnessed the har-
ness horse matinee on the Potomac Speed

Larry McCormick's pacing mare, My
sotis. 2.122., had won eight heats, in THEN
respective classes, and this pair met yes
terday for the fnal contest.
The weather was ideal for the event
but the track was a little deep and
sloppy, which apparently gave Forney Z
slight advantage.
Heats Were Exciting.
The brush was by far the closest, fast
est. and most exciting one yet witnessed
on the new course. At the finish of eaci

the horses and drivers received a hn'
reception.
The three heats were covered in l.o612

three heats ever gone over the Speedway
in a single race, and, considering the time
of the year and condition Of the track
are most creditabIe TO the horses, neither
horse in any heat having a yard the bet

-Forney won the first heat and looked

ON A BUSINESS BASIS.
Buyers Conscience Would Not ALLOW
Him to Take Present.

Martin Van Camp, a wholesale
poulterer Of Omaha, was talking the
other day about buyers,
MY salesmen,' he said, would al.
ways prefer to deal directly with the
heads of firms instead of with buyers.
With the heads everything always. is
open and aboveboard. But in the
case Of buyers, anything one does
seems to smack of trickery and de-
ceit.
"A certain New York buyer for a
big firm ordered from a salesman Of
mine last week a large consignment
OF turkeys. The salesman, pleased
with the order took the buyer a box
of 100 expensive cigars. 1t was an
honorable enough performance, but
the buyer, when the present was Of.
fered to him, got mad.
Look out he said warningly.
None of that. You cant bribe me,
you know
The salesman was vexed, but he
put a good face on the matter.
"'Bribe you? he exclaimed. why,
man, you must be crazy. Who wants
to bribe you? This was a simple lit.

quently to your employer. But if you
won't have it as present, why. buy
it from me. Give me a quarter for it."
The buyers suspicious vanished
lie searched his pockets.
- haven't got a quarter he said
I've got nothing less than this halt
dollar
"'And L. said the salesman, hop.
ing after all that he wouldn't have TO
take the buyers money-and haven't
got a cent of change
but the buyer nevertheless thrust
The half dollar on him.
Keep it all he said, and you can
bring me another box on your next
trip"

Making a Hat Smaller.


A large hat may easily be made
smaller In this day, when bias bands
on the edge are fashionable. When
the rim has been cut II should first be
bound with tarlatan so the rough straw
will not cut through the ribbon. The
strips should form a true bias and be
wide enough to turn in about a quar-
ter Of an inch on each side after the
binding is on. An inch on each side OF
the brim Is the approved width, though
this Is more or less q matter Of taste.
Be careful In cutting. especially II vel
vet Is used, to match the pieces care
fully so that the nap and material run
the same way. Measure the amount
that just fits the hat, sew II together
at the end and 1T over the brim,
stretching it In the middle and being
careful not to stretch the sides or II
WIN pucker. When measured sew the
ends together and snap over the brim.
Turn in the edges on both sides and
blind stitch on. Be sure the seams
come at each side. A binding may also
be put on by sewing one side rather
tightly to the top Of the brim and then
turning over and blind stitching on the
under side, but the first way Is more
satisfactory.

Correct coIors For Autumn.

Whatever the correct colors win be
for early fall wear they are to lend
themselves to combinations. The few
selections already shown are inclined
this way, and 1t Is pretty certain that
such combinations VIII rather take the
form Of harmonies than Of direct con-
trasts, the wide stripes or fine strip
ings having the preference over the
narrow effects which disported them
selves in the realm Of fashion last win

mode when they like IT, and the way
they have chung TO stripes Of all kinds
and conditions Is a fattering tribute to

ARMENIANS MASSACRED
In the Most Horrible Manner by the
Kurds and Turks.

News comes from Constantinople
that terrible massacres Of Armen-
ians in the villages Of Bitlis and Van
have broken out in the last few days,
and the situation there is reported
to be very serious.
Hundreds of Armenians are re-
ported to have been killed or injured
seriously in the outrages.
Turkish soldiers are said to be tax
ing an active part in the massacres
assisting the Kurds who started the
outbreaks.
Practically every town and village
in the provinces affected, are the
scenes of the murders and outrages
practiced Unfortunately on Ar
menians.
Arrnenians leaving Constantine
pie have received terrible stories of
the indignities inflicted upon their
countrymen, and are greatly alarm
ed. Men have been decapitated,
shot down in the streets, and put to
death by the most frightful tortures.
Even women and children of tender
years have not escaped the fury of
the mobs, and have met death in
hundred different ways.

THE M'IiINLEY TOMB.
MausoIeum at Canton, o., VIII Soon
Be Dedicated.

The Mckinley tomb, at Cantor
TO-, is rapidly approaching conoplet.
ion and will soon be ready for deii.
cation. The original plan contem.
plated the dedicatory exercises on
the anniversary Of the funeral OF
the late President, but in order to
insure the presence Of President
Roosevelt as orator of the day, a la
ter date in September will be choos-
en-. The program include the trans
fer Of the body of President Mcnin-
ley from its temporary resting place
to its final rest in the sarcophagus in
the memorial tomb. The structure
will cost s500,000.
The mausoleum is 90 feet in height
and 79 feet in diameter. The grand
stairway which constitutes the prin-
cipal approach to the tomb proper,
is IS feet in height. The principal
material used in construction Of the
monument is pink Milford granite
which is utilized for the exterior,
the steps and balustrade. The in
terror is finished in Knoxville marble
with honed surface. The columnar
treatment, which was barred from
the exterior, is employed effectively
on the interior The lighting is en-
tirely from above. A double sacro-
phagus is provided. The site is a
tract of 26 acres, forming the crown
ing eminence Of the West Lawn Gem
etery.
The general arrangement Of the
approach to the tomb has the sug-
gestion of a cross and a sword--a SYM
bolism which is deemed peculiarly
appropriate in memorial to one
who was martyr and a president in
time of war. An artificial lake or
basin has been introduced directly
in front Of the mausoleum, in effect
not unlike the prayer rug form
ing the avenue of approach to
many Eastorn shrines. The basin is
500 feet in length andbroadens from
:355 to S. feet in width.
Another supplementary feature
that contributes in no small degree
to the effect Of one approaching
the monument is the statue
of the late President the head
Of the granite stairway and a
bout 80 feet from facade Of the
AS sort of portal
