FEEDER FOR CANAL

The Ohio river will be the great
est feeder for the Panama canal in
this country" declared Gen, John l..
Vance. of Columbus. Ohio. president
OF the ohio River Valley Improve
ment Association. at the Riggs House.
II runs through the largest manu-
featuring territory in the United
states. Beginning with Pittsburg.
which last year shipped 100. 600. goo
tons OF commodities. it takes in
Steubenville, Ohio. whose output was
100000 tons; Evansville, Ciucin-
natl. and a dozen or more other big
shipping ports.
Evansville is the largest wood
working community in the world.
When the Panama canal is completed
it will be possible to ship coal. iron
and other products from any point
on the Ohio river to all the Pacific
Coast ports or TO China and Japan.
or other points in Asia without trans
fer. OF course, there are parts OF
the Ohio where vessels OF more than
nine feet draught cannot go. but
there will be plenty of ships drawing
not more than nine feet that can 20
through the canal and the caribbean
Sea and up along the coast OF the
Pacific"
Speaking of politics i'm Ohio, Gen.
Vance said: THE breach is widen
ing among the factions of the Re-
publican party, Taft has never taken
any decided stand with either fac
ton, but Foraker is popular, and Il
will not be known for some time TO
come which OF these two men can
command the Ohio delegation i'm the
next Republican National Conven-
ton. There is belief i'm Ohio that
Bryan will be the nominee OF the
Democrats, but personally ! doubt II
he could be elected If nominated.
He would have stood an excellent
chance had he not come out with such
radical views at time when It look
ed as If he had the whole country
at his feet"
Gen Vance was formerly a mem
Der of Congress from Ohio and serv-
ed in the Union army during the
Washington Post.

STOCK MARKET FORETOLD
BY MOON AND STARS,

tons of the astrologists. The in
fiuence OF the Medici made astrology
popular i'm France. and even Richie
lieu did not despise astrology as an
engine of government.
Mr.. Lawrence. who tried To sell
stock market information at So a
month. If he had known about IL
might have justified his astrological
stock market touting by claiming
that at last one of the remarkable
astrological predictions OF the past
had been fulfilled To be true. it
is 400 years after the time predicted.
but what is little thing like 400
years, more or less. to the stock tick
er or the astrologer?
Stoaer. a renowned astrologer.
who lived in the 14th century. pre-
dicted that in 1924 a universal de-
luge and cataclysm that would make
Noah's personally-conducted excur-
sion look like dollar-a-day fishing
party, would sweep over the earth.
The aspects OF the heavens told him
that in that year three planets would
meet in the aqueous sign of Pisces.
As II happened. that year was re-
markable for a very great drouth.
which burned up the vegetation and
brought about a food famine.
Unless there is something wrong
with our conclusions, the prediction
of Stofiler is the only decent explana-
ton TO account for the extraordinary
amount of water in railroad and 9th
er stocks. as evidenced by the Harri-
man investigation. The three plan
cts or stars, coming together, are
Hartman, Hill and Standard OIL
Rogers, who unite in the sign OF
Pisces, or the fish, which everyone
knows is another name for sucker.
and thus perhaps Stomer's predic-
ton is fulfilled
The incident corborates strongly
what the Traveller has been impress
sing on the public for more than a
year. When you scratch a man en-
gagged in the bucket-shop business.
you expose get-rich-quick artist

their money on any old pretext that

The Traveller had libel suit on
its hands las week. brought by one
OF these embryotic kings of finance
who got vexed because we showed
him up as bucket shopper. His
suit was not successful. but in con-
nection with the trial. Il developed
that this gentleman had established
as one of the branches of his personal
activity, the selling of stock market
tips To prospective investors. at the
reasonable figure OF So a month. Up
on cross-examination he testified that
the information that he offered to
supply was largely to be determined
by reading the moon and stars. the
theory being that because of the in.
fiuence OF the moon and the stars
on mems minds. the stock market
was necessarily Influenced.
The persons paying So a month for
market advice probably had no con-
ception that they were taking a pri-
mary course in astrology, but the
fools are not all dead, and some
might still have invested had they
known the facts.

In New York's Fashion Glass


I summer is that of the white cotton
 dress. When made of taffeta and trim med with lace 1t takes a high place In
 the fashionable wardrobe. Only sec
 ond to this. is the tailor-made dress
 of serge or broadcloth, which is a most fashionable street dress. Tailored throughout, and cut in Prince Chap
 a coat of this style. lingerie waists
 may be worn in faint pink, pastel blue
 or corn color, light green and the pal est or violet. 4.
 The hand made waist now takes the
 place of the waist of last year which was hand-embroidered on the cuffs, collars and panels. Nets are fascinat- ing in their patterns and weaves, from
 the simple point desprit to the cob
 web meshes almost as delicate as real
 lace. The dot or ring is the common : est pattern, but the long narrow dash Is newer and more effective. Fleur
 de lis, interlacing squares or circles,
 are powdered over both fine and coarse
 nets, and show up to the best advant- age over silk.
 The present fashion for golden brown, especially in shoe leather, is destined to last longer than the usual
 fashion. In Paris practically no other
 color shoes are worn, except where a formal evening dress is required. The
 golden brown glazed kid leather is the most comfortable thing for shoe and Is also waterproof and required no | dressing to keep it's original bright sur face. The woman who selects golden brown for her shoes is sure to be in fashion. The white shirt waist and black skirt for summer street wear is no longer the proper thing. Instead, waists to
 match er harmonize with the suit are to be worn this season. Pale blue batiste. light blue lawn and all shades of cotton are used for the making of pretty summer waists. Nearly all I these waists are very thin, some as | sheer as web. Lace Is the. invariabe trimming and there are often two. or three different kinds of lace on these | pretty summer blouses.
 /! For the theatre. church, visiting and all dress occasions, white gloves are the proper thing. Next to this, are 1 chosen pale buffs, grays, pearl or gray | ish lavender, champagne. and all | shades of tan color-these for every | day occasions. There are many lace | topped gloves in the silk and kid | which have come to the fashion world | this summer. The hand of the glove
 may be in suede and the upper part is l of heavy lace and openwork suede Among the novelties in gloves are those l with embroidered backs in the same | color as the glove. The designs are | very dainty, sprigs or circles,

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Commend us to Chicago when. a big and buoyant imagination is demanded. The railroad men of the countrykseem to be about as sharply divided as the newspapers are over President Roose- velts proposition of a Federal control through the post-roads clause of the Constitution. But some of those in Chicago rise to it like a trout to a fly. They are quoted as much preferring a Federal control to state control of their business. and one of them, who unfortunately forgets to sign his name to his prediction. is made responsible for the following roseate picture of the future:
 The time is not far distant when every railroad of the country will be under the control of the United States. It will not be many years before q railroad ticket will be purchased like a two-cent stamp. A universal date will be open to every one. No special rate, pass or rebate will be granted, and every railroad will be working on a fair and equal basis that will mean good return for every investor inter- ested'
 There is nothing like having your ideals clearly stated at the beginning of a campaign. It is a thousand pities that this Chicago prophet did not utter his prediction before the Indian apolis speech. The President might have been far more moved by his glowing vision of the railroad millen- mum than he was by the New Orleans suggestion of making the roads all post roads, so as to bring them under

 England is not to know the real truth about the Boer War. To save the reputations of certain weH-known gen. erals and officials. the War once has had Colonel Henderson's unfinished History of the Boer War" destroyed It was written as the official history by the greatest English writer on mAi- tary subjects since Napier, but its au- thor died before completing his monu- mental work.
 After Colonel Hendersons death. the War Office examined his work. and found that 1t was much too outspoken about the blunders and graft that dis tinguished the campaign They have therefore entirely suppressed his work. and ordered the compilation of an en- lirely new history by a staff of officers under the direction of General Sir Fred erick Maurice. who is perhaps the only military writer who could adequately fill Colonel Henderson's place. But the new official history will deal gent Iy with the regulations of the distin- guished Muddlers.

Thaw Case fin London.

London has seen It's first Thaw Drama. It was not honored by a West End production, as seven plays of Am erican origin are, at present, but was presented on two consecutive nights at the Castle Theatre. Brentford cheap house attached to 2 fourth-ra rate hotel in a grimy manufacturing sub- urb.
 The remarkable feature about this Thaw melodrama. which was alluring- 1y entitled '"The MilIionaires Revenge" or, "the Roof Garden Murder" was it's having been written in one day by the proprietor of the hotel. F. L. Bird. who also played the role of Harry K. Thaw. Mir Bird. who is an oId actor, has writ ten many plays on sensational current topics, and produces them. usually for one night only at the Castle Theatre
 "The Millionaire's Revenge" which, although written in one day, played for two hours q half, proved thrilling and lurid vision of the Thaw drama All the characters except Stamford White" were billed in their real names but the author had taken considerable license with the story.
 The audience of riverside workers and costermongers were delighted with MT Birds Thaw drama. and

Csarzon's New Home.

Lord Curzon has found a beautiful permanent home in England where he can bring up his three motherless little girls. They have just taken up their quarters at Hackwood Park, Hampshire. which Lord Curzon has bought from Lord Bolton.
 Hackwood is a lovely. old-world place. famous for it's axduisite gard ems It was formerly the residence of the Dukes of Bolton, and a feature of the French Garden is a pavilion with a marble floor. which Lavinia Fenton. the eighteenth century actress who became Duchess of Bolton, used as a music room.
 An al fresco amphitheatre. with an arena of turf tiers of grassy seats. and walls of giant elrns. has been form ed in apother part of the grounds.
 The hall contains seven beautiful old carvings by Grinlins Gibbons. An equestrian statue of George l.. pre- sented to the Duke of Bolton by that monarch. stands in front of the house.

 gFollpwing the lead of Bismark's phy- slcian, who recently published de- nunciation of doctors. an English doe tor, John Shaw. NJ D. has written a book in which he violently attacks the medical profession.

 Dr Shaw has apparently the same motive for writing his book as the German physician had for his-to re- venge himself on his fellow doctors for trying to ruin him. He declares that he has had bitter experiences through exposing the abuses of the profession
 The specialist suffers Dr. Shaw's most scathing attacks. Unlike the general practitioner. the specialist, he says. has not kept up with the progress of science in recent years, and although a product Of modern days the special ist is hopeiessly behind the times

New York, June S.-Ruchings of mar row lace finish the edges of embroid- cred linen hats and parasols. and are used to outline fancy vests and to finish wristbands.
 Hats are now being chosen to match or to contrast with the hair, but at the same time. 1t must match the CO.'S ume. white hat may only be ap- propriately worn with an all-white costume, or one which in effect is all- white. A,
 White collars and cuffs of lace, fine or heavy embroidery with sometimes an edge of lace ruffiing. are much worn this season They make a dark suit LOOK fresh and smart, but are not worn on the very light-colored suits.
 One of the novelties in Jewelry Is that Jeweled bugs are coming back into favor. A brooch which consists or two tiny gold bars, are perched, in the center, three enameled lady bugs in quite perfect coloring. Another brooch set with pearls has an exquisitely enameled dragon fly with diamond studded wings, mounted in the cen- ter.
 Sleeves are still worn elbow length, and for card parties and dinners. they are cut off above the elbow and finish- ed with two or three wide lace rufIles. The very snort sleeves are almost al: ways in lingerie sleeves, usually of White lace, chiffon or some other deli cate material with a ruff1e set un- derneath to make it Keep it's place. '
 The very Guafntest of today's trim mings are the narrow knife pleatings of tulle, taffeta, or chiffon or fine rib bon, which are set on the edges of the otherwise flat ruffies or folds. Tullc peatings are used on all sorts of odd materials as finish to ribbon, lace or embroidery edges, as well as those of plain cloth.
 The jumper dress which mas been in- troduced this year is certainly an at tractive little suit for hot weather when a bolero is worn with 1t. Pom gee is the most useful material for a suit of this sort, as it is cool, and wears better than silk or linen. The guimpes are separate so can always be kept fresh and neat.
 Knitted or crochetted sweaters with peplums or skirts are to be much worn this summer for goIfiing, tennis and yachting. They are very much more becoming to the average woman, who looks smarter in a coat-like jacket than inf the blouse effects that have heen so popular. A sweater with the front opening on the bias Is rather original way of making one. Plain knitted collar, cuffs and belt line con trast with the basket stitch of which the body part is made

Auto Runs tp Monte Carlo.

The motor car manufacturers of London are a t last beginning to realize the public is terribly tired of the London to Monte Carlo runs which are intended to advertise the reliability Of certain. cars and so group of them have decided to join several French manufacturers in a colossal scheme which will make the ordinary Monte Carlo run look foolish by comparison.
 The idea Is to travel by automobile from Paris to Pekin and camels are to be bought presumably to assist in car rying off to places of safety those driv- CTS who have been mauled by Chinese brigands or wild beasts. It is regarded as certain that the survivors eff any) of this world run will obtain sufficient advertise ement to last them a life time
