Ban Placed on Long Earrings.

Women who recently have been
adapting themselves to pendent ear
rings and brooches must cast them
aside, for Paris has decreed a radical
change in fashions for jewel adorn-
ment. At a convention of jewelers. in
Paris the other day it was agreed that
earrings had gone completely out Of
fashion. Pendants were elected to
take the place Of the cid fashioned
brooch. Pearl necklaces are the most
stylish Of all jewel ornaments. Brace
let's are going out as a natural result
of the return to long and tight fitting
ileeYeS.

found the acknowledged greatest mid
die distance runner of all time, and,
though rumor has been current that
Dorando would meet the British won
der, such a match is hardly like to be
made, as the Italians speciality is
races of Marathon distance, about
twenty-six miles Shrubb rarely runs
in contests over ten miles. Tom Long
boat, the fleet Indian, is a more likely
opponent for the son of sunny Italy.
Last summer Johnny Hayes conquered
Dorando in the sensational and IN
precedented London Olympic Mara
thon. when the italian was assisted
across the tape by the bungling Brit
ish officials, only to be disqualified and
the race awarded to Hayes. 1t was
his thirst for revenge that urged Do
rando to cross the pond and again try
conclusions with the doughty New
York boy.
Wine is the fuel that makes the fires
Of energy burn within the tireless legs
of the wonderful little Neapolitan. AS
he himself says: 'eWine, wine, plenty
of wine-tbat is what makes me run.
1t is so good. 1t keeps me from get
ting tired. 1t makes me run long and
fast. When I have no wine I feel
faint. 1t is the fluid of life" Three
quarts Of Chianti a day is mild going
for Dorando. He declares that had
the British officials given him some
wine instead of water when pushing
him along in the Olympic race he
would have crossed the line unassisted.

started" he said, land we can look
back upon life just as jOyfully there
as in the big house"
When Mayor Johnson was in con-
gress he was noted, just as he is now,
for his frank and often sharp way Of
saying things. At that time, as there
happens to be now, there was a good
deal of discussion over the question OF
the duties on steel. The Ohio con
gresham got into an argument one
day with the late Representative Ding
ley, author of the Dingley bill. The
latter had asserted that there was no
such thing as a trust in existence. Mr..
Johnson was greatly interested.
"How about the steel rail trust?' be
demanded
'There is no such thing as a steel
rail trust" said Mr.. Dingley, "and
never was"
"Well," said Mr.. Johnson cheerfully,
"there is a steel rail trust, and 1 am

The discussion in the German reichs-

interview in the London Telegraph has
brought into prominence the newly
elected president of the body, Count

times called ''the Uncle Joe Cannon of
Germany" He belongs to the Conserv-

the reichstag. The criticisms of the

from the more radical parties, but

arc building a large brick ware
house at Mystic. They have a
splendid ginnery there and the
competition with Fitzgerald and

four bales on one acre.

A Local Bankers
Optimistic View
Of the Situation.

New York is still the trade and
financial center of our country.
Reports from that point indicate
great conservatism throughout the
states, but certainly a restoration Of
confidence.
Excellent weather reports and
good condition of grain and cotton
crops are encouraging and trade is
stimulated. The New York stock
exchange \evidently approves Mr..
Taft's administration and doubtless
expects his nomination to be a trifle
more conservative than Mr.. Roose-
velt's has been.
A bumper grain crop is now ex-
pected and the cotton crop is fig
ured at about $50 against about
1871 last year.
1t is usually Indicative of easier
finances when the kings of finance,
such as the Goulds, Morgans and
Harrimans, amicably understand
each other, and just at this time
they seem to be in harmony.
Money has ceased travelling to-
ward New York and indications
are now that the banks will handle
the large crops with ease. IL
Our local banks now appear to
be gaining deposits, and this is due
in a large measure to the restora-
ton of confidence. Now and then
person will deposit money with
drawn last fall. The panic Of last
fall should be regarded as severe
test of the conditions Of banks
generally and it is remarkable how
small the number that closed tenn
porarily, nearly all of which have
since reopened, paying depositors in
full.
Real estate is beginning to
change hands in our city, and this
fall doubtless will bring about
some very desirable developments
AMI the improvements Of farms
my be looked for on u correspond
ing scale.
Stunning up-conlidence is being
rapidly restored. The business
outlook is very bright and the
boarded millions will soon find
their way into commercial channels.
Better times are i'll sight.
