Men Fight to Buy Mrs. Carriers Lingerie

Mrs. Carter. her son, and Payne
were on an auto trip through New
England at the time, and Mrs. Carter
did not bother to change her gown
when the nuptial idea took possession
of her.
The collection contained pair Of
shoes and slippers for every pair OF
stockings. One pair of black patent
feathers with white uppers is IS
inches high, fastening with black but
tons as big as dimes. Gold heels, red
heels, and undressed uppers in as
sorted colors of leather were among
the shoes to be auctioned.
1t was explained that it was not fear
of catching cold that led Mrs. Carter to
own nightcaps. 1t was to preserve her
couture into a second or third day
but no sordid motives of economy
actuated the actress-she simply
wanted to avoid trouble.

This was the second sale of per

actress who grew into fame under
David Belasco, but whose career has
been dimmed since her marriage to a
man two-thirds her age led Belasco to
sever relations with her The first

Claanlnu Gold Braid.

This is a season of gold braid and
brass buttons. They are expensive TO
buy and many women might want to
use gold braid they have If it were
only trifle cleaner.
They may not know that 1t may be
thoroughly refreshed by powdered
bluing mixed with dry bread crumbs.
This should be sifted over the braid
and then rubbed with flannel. After
brushing off the crumbs 1t should be
polished with red velvet. This process
also serves for cleaning gold lace.

Smile,a Face Value.

Although most of us would hesitate
to express what might be termed the
face value of the modern SMILE" we
certainly realize at times that it is a
form of currency which is depreci-
ating. In the modern smile" we recog-
nize the crude, official thing which
neither Eliminates, cheers nor bridges
awful gaps of silence. 1t may SAVIOR
OF suggesting a wave of imbecillty to
declare that we ought all to smile
more, but it is certainly true that the

esteemed even above beauty.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Our reasons for preferring MIR. Taft to Mr..
Bryan known They can all be
reduced to the belief that he is better equipped
for the presidency Either would be free from i'm
prope- influences. Either would be conscientious
NJ. Taft is of better experience and of sounder
mind Mr.. Bryan is a believer in panaceas. His
latest--the insurance of bank deposts-seems to
full of peril; almost clearly his free
silver; and We are rather afraid of the Supreme
Cosrt appointments he would make. Mr.. Taft is
less addicted to theory, surefooted, of more
prove! ability. His appointments in all depart
ments will probably be excellent. Other things
being equal, we should, this year, have inclined
toward the Democratic nominee. But other things
are not equal Mr.. Taft is exceptionally equipped
for the Office Mr.. Bryan has not the kind Of
mind 10 which like to see the American people
entrus themselves.
Bryan is trying to catch votes with his pebank
guarantee project, just he tried to deceive the
voters with his 16 to proposition in 1896.
There individual banks in New York de-
post liabilities in excess of one hundred and fifty
million dollars and good many banks throughout
the country with deposit liabilities exceeding fifty
million dollars. To draw one hundred million dol
lars from the reserves of the national banks to
pay of at once the depositors of one two OF
these great banks, If they should suspend payment,
would force the suspension of nearly all the banks
in the country and would precipitate universal
panic and disaster What would such guaranty
have been worth during the recent panic, when all
the barks suspended"
Wien times are good and business Is prosper
GUS, the weaker and speculative banks would be
helped to expand their credits and to increase
their loans, but In times of srignecy and theraten
ed trouble the strong and conservative banks
would be forced to contract their credits and to
refuse accommodation to their customers.
The tendency Of the plan, therefore, would be to
cause expansion of bank credits when conservar
tsm Is desirable and TO cause contraction OF bank
credits In times Of strngency when credit ismost
needed in order to prevent panic and disaster
The only way in which this guaranty plan could
possibly inspire confidence is by leading people to
believe that the plan furnishes security, which 1t
does not In fact furnish-in other words, by de-
cefving the American people into a false sense Of
security. The plan can prove successful only by
operating as gigantic blum that will never be
called. The American people can not be fooled
in that way"

Pullman Service Too Costly.

Auditor William Hough, of the Pull
man company, said last week that
there are no patents now on sleeping
cars, and there is nothing to prevent
competition in the sleeping car bust
ness. 1t is simply an instance where
a business has been conducted so well
and SO much to public satisfaction
that 1t enjoys a practical monopoly
The great Objectionable feature is
the upper berth. 1t ought to be abol-
ished by law. A charge of Sc per day
for 80 square feet of floor space ought
to be enough to take in all the room
that is above it. to the ceiling. Few
hotels get that much room rent for 200
square feet of space, and must pro-
vide. in addition, many conveniences
not provided by the Pullman service

The Railway Profits.

According to a statement put forth
by Senior Vice President w. c. Brown
of the New York Central railroad, and
former general manager of the Bur-
lington system, the total gross earn
ings of all the railways of the United
States last year was $2,5S5,913. 900.
How is this vast sum distributed?
Mr. Brown has made study of rail-
way statistics, as result of which he
furnishes some interesting deductions.
There are 225,000 miles of railroads in
the country, employing in the aggre-
gate 1.675,000 for each day in the year.
Out of each 800 earned, he says, ST.
goes either directly Or indirectly to
labor. The superintendent of earnings
