diamond ornaments for the hair usu-
ally wore nothing on their heads OF
an evening, until some pioneer spirits
began to wear feather or two or
tiny wreath of leaves, or something
else equally unobtrusive by way of
decoration. A small, neat head was
then the fashion, and very dainty
indeed and very high-bred was the
effect of a beautifully dressed head
kept in proportion to the rest of the
figure. Now we have changed all that.
The couture illustrated above shows
a style which would go well with the
dresses draped in classic fashion
which are so fashionable at present
both in London and Paris. The hair

WHAT AuToMoBILlsTs WILL FIND
IN ALASKA.
New Interest In Northern Territory
Owing to Fact That Route Of
New York to Paris Racers
Lies Through Country.

The fact that the route of the New
YORK to Paris automobile racers lies
In part through Alaska has served to
arouse new interest in the territory
which has brought so many rich sur
prises to the United States of late
years. A humorist has not inaptly
referred to Alaska as the "red-haired
child Of the union" having in mind
the fact that 1t was almost entirely
due to William H. Seward, the red.
haired secretary of state, that the
United States bought that fabulousIy
rich country from Russia in 1867, for
the ridtculously small sum of $7,200,-
GOO, truly a bargain-counter price in
view of the fact that from the single
district of Fairbanks, Alaska, alone
three banks in that little city last sum-
mer shipped out nearly $S,000,000
worth of gold dust to Seattle and San
Francisco banks, while Alaska's total
contributions to the minis of the Uni
ted States to date have been $126,000,-
600, although the surface of the
ground, speaking from mining stand
point, has not even been scratched, to
say nothing of Alaska's possibilities
as timber, fishing and agricultural
producing country.
And yet Secretary Seward was de-
rided, lampooned, and declared to be
mentally unbalanced because he adj
vocated the purchase of Alaska from
Russia. Even in congress opposition
to the proposed purchase was so great
that the purchase was only effected
on the plea that by paying the sum
mentioned to Russia for what was
characterized as a bleak, frozen will
derness,' we were, in a way, discharg
ing an obligation to Russia for it'
sympathy manifested toward the Uni
ted States during the civil war, thu
Russian government also feeling thu
need for ready cash at about tina
time.
And 1t is toward this wonderful AM
strange country that the competing
automobilists are headed.

is, without question, transportation

pecially for evening wear, is In as high
favor as ever. The fashion is to have

Tells Our Readers How to Mix Best
Rheumatism Cure.

A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless,
prescription, which anyone can easily
'prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in. bottle,
and take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
=; He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
j tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are
harmless to take.
! This pleasant mixture if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
+: results are obtained, and without in
! juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies;
patent medicines, ETC., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
, nent results, and the above will, no
doubt be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time. ;
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
, be bought separately, or the drug
gists here will mix the prescription

MULE RAISING.
The Feed Pax and Good Blood Go
Hand In Hand.
BY GEORGE M. ROMM

BysGEoRGE M. RoMMEL. SIS s.
In breeding mules the first point Is
to see that the mules sire is large
jack, recorded in the American lack
stock stud book. He should stand
15.2 hands or even II hands high
and should weigh up to / 100 or 1000
pounds. He should have large.
strong body and heavy bone Weight
and bone are, cardinal points in jack.
If mares sired by light stalIions-stand-
ard breds, coachers. etc.-are bred to
such jack. mules of good quality and
fair weight mag be expected. If the
mares are by good standard bred sad
ole or thoroughbred stations. the mules
will be very active and will possess
much quality and finish. If these
mares have good weight. say LOO or
1,200 pounds this mating will produce
the finest sugar mules. IT, somewhat
smaller. good cotton mules will result
If draft bred mares are used. the mules
will of course be heavier. Such mules
are the draft mules of the market and
are in strong demand for city use
They have more weight than sugar
mules. but not quite so much quality:
For small. Indifferent 800 pound mares
without breeding nothing better can lie
expected than the production of i'll
ferior cotton mules or pit and pack
mules. 1t is useless to try to breed
good mules from poor mares There
will probably always he more demand
in the south for mules than for work
horses which can be supplied by local
~ raised animals. but it is necessary
first to have a supply of good. usefu

any jack is good enough to sire good

Pasture For Eoals.

There is far more in arranging about
pastorage than is often supposed. A
pasture may be good for calves and
cows and poor for foals and horses.
In respect to the pasture deemed best
for foals Kentucky exchange advise
as follows:
It IS not required to have for such a
purpose what is known as rich land.
Very rich land produces rank grass.

MISS JULIA FISH A BRIDE
Daughter of Hamilton Fish Becomes
Wife of William Rreese, Son of
Mrs. Henry o. Higgins.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, March 2S.-In the pres
ence of notable assemblage of per
sons prominent in the socl4l life OF
New York and other cities, Miss Julia
Kean Fish, daughter of Hamilton
Fish, this afternoon became the bride
of William Lawrence Breese, son of
Mrs. Henry o. Higgins of London.
The ceremony was performed in St
James's church, the interior of which
was superbly decorated with a mass
of palms and other green's and cut
flowers in profusion. On account OF
the marriage being solemnized during
Lent there was no choral service, and
the wedding reception at the Fish
home, East Seventy-seventh street,
was a comparatively small one, the
invitations being restricted to rela-
tives and small number of intimate
friends.
The bride was given away by her
father, and Bishop Courtney was the
officiating clergyman The brides at
tendants were her sisters, the Misses
Janet and Rosamond Fish. The
brides gown was an exquisite creation
of white satin and lace and she car
ried bouquet of white orchids and
lilies of the valley.
The best man was Mr.. Rupert Hig-
gins of London, stepbrother of the
bridegroom, and the ushers were the
Messrs Hamilton Fish, Jr., Stuyve-
SAINT Fish, Jr., James L. Breese, Jr,
William B. Rogers, Seymour Johnson
Wistar Kendall, Thomas Batelle ana
Charles Lawrence.
The wedding of Miss Fish and Mr..
Breese unites two families of great
social prominence on both sides of
the Atlantic The bride is the grand
daughter of the late Hamilton Fish,
secretary of state under President
Grant, and a niece of Stuyvesant Fish,
the railroad magnate and financier
Mr.. Breese, the bridegroom, comes of
an old New York family. His mother,
after the death of Mr. Breese, was
married to Henry o. Higgins, and has
since resided abroad. One of the
bridegroom's sisters, the former Miss
Eloise Breese, is the wife of Lord
Willoughby d'Eresby, and another sis
ter, the former Miss Anna Breese,
was recently married to Lord Alastair
Innes-Ker, heir presumptive to the
honors of his brother, the Duke of
Roxburghe.

The prosecution of the alleged
frauds was the outcome of the politi-
cal upheaval in Pennsylvania in 1905
which resulted in the election of
William H. Berry, democrat, as state
treasurer in the fall of that year
Berry threw open the books of the
state treasurer and showed that the
cost of building the capitol was more
than three times the amount of the
contract. The case was laid before
the attorney general and indictments
found against fourteen persons. In
addition to the graft in connection
with the construction the state claims
,, that there were frauds amounting to
nearly five million dollars in the fur
nishings.
