SATIN ROSES FOR GOWNS.
Ornament Innovation Is the Work Of
French Designers.

The French designers have been us
ing satin ribbon flowers for some time
as means OF trimming.
This has brought about the fashion
for extra large roses made OF ribbon
and put on n skirt or the center OF a
bodice.
These roses are quite effective on
all-black costumes and are gratefully
welcomed by the women who wear
black and do not know how TO vary
the gowns.
Satin roses may be applied to net,
to chiffon. TO grenadine and also to
soft liberty cloths.
They are rather heavy and elabo-
rate for coat suits. but they are quite
smart for house gowns. Possibly
they look better on velvet than any
other fabric.
A black velvet one.piece frock which
is to serve for smart afternoon oc-
casions fastens down the left front
from bust to hem with satin but
tons.
The huge satin roses on padded
stems form panels up the front. back
and sides. the panel at the back run
ming under the belt up to the shoulder.
There is n single rose in the front
of the bodice. The long wrinkled
sleeves and the gathered yoke are OF
black tulle, unlined and untrimmed.

Death of Mrs. Edith Lewis.

Skowhegan relatives were advised
by a telegram last Tuesday of the
death of Mrs. Edith Lewis, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram Perkins of this
place, which had occurred the pre-
vious day in Boston. The deceased
had passed some time here during the
past year, leaving but comparative
ly short time since for Massachusetts.
Her health had been falling for some
time. The body was brought to this
place and funeral services were held
at the home of the parents on Spring
street, Wednesday morning, Rev.
George Merriam officiating.

Appointed State Road Inspector.

Hon. George T. Tibbetts of Hinkley
has just received notice of his ap-
pointment as State Road Inspector,
under Paul D. Sargent, the State
Highway Commissioner. The state
road work is between twenty and
thirty towns, principally in Somerset
and Kennebec counties, will receive
Mr.. Tibbetts' attention. He will
visit the state road section in each
town, upon which work is to be done,
before the ground is broken, paying a
second visit when the work is going
on, and will give each piece a final
inspection when it is completed.
Duties under this appointment will
keep Mr.. Tibbetts pretty constantly
employed for the next two months.

the Republican standard bearer had
arrived and was approaching the
speakers stand.
Mr. FERNALD GETS OVATION.
Mr.. Fernald is speaking twice day
and is to continue this program until
the date of election. At Athens,
where he addressed a meeting at one
thirty on Tuesday afternoon, the hall
was crowded to the doors and many
could not gain admittance. He left
the platform there to enter an auto
mobile and be hustled over the eleven
miles of highway to Lakewood where
he arrived at Just three fifteen. He
approached the outskirts OF the crowd
quietly, and was making his way
unannounced toward the stand,
when someone directed attention to
him and at once the voice of Mr.
Blair, who was speaking at the time,
was overwhelmed by great shout of
welcome. He was introduced after
but moments delay, during which
he shook hands with the gentlemen
on the platform, and at once entered
upon his speech.
A brief interval was devoted TO a
resume of the great things in Amer
lean history which every citizen of
the Republic is pleased to remember
and of which all Republicans are
justly proud as the achievements of
their party, and the speaker then
plunged in to a discussion of issues
that chiefly pertain to the section of
our country over which he confident
ly expects to be called upon TO rule,
as chief executive, after the LIST of
January next. The benefit accruing
to the state from the adjustment of
the fee system and the introduction of
the policy of buying supplies for the
state upon competitive bids, and the
creation of the Office of state auditor
were enumerated. Mr. Fernald then
took up the subject of equitable taxa
ton. He demonstrated what the Re-
publican party had already done in
increasing the revenues of the state
through taxation of great corpora
tions, and stated in the most candid
manner that the Republican party
proposed to continue this policy of
searching out, SO far as it could be
done without injustice, broad shout
ders on which the ever increasing
burdens of taxation could be laid,
thus bringing relief from taxation TO
the classes who are the least able to
bear it. Mr.. Fernald pointed out that
during the term of Office of Governor
Cobb the indebtedness of the state
had been reduced one half and that,
could the Republican party be allow
ed TO continue its policies in the same
careful and able manner for another
four years, there was every reason to
believe the last dollar OF the state
debt could be paid

Il was very attentive crowd that
assembled about the speakers stand
in Lakewood Grove, last Tuesday at
ternoon. Many had doubtless come
to see the distinguished gentleman
from Poland, who has recently been
honored with the nomination for
governor by the dominant political
party, others may have attended to
hear the well known Brooklyn orator
and the local speakers, but all seemed
to expect an educative calculation of
the political issues of the time, and
this expectation, both as to state and
national issues, was most happily sat
isfied.

chairman of the meeting and made a

fact that this decision, rendered ia
response to request BY Republican
Governor Of this state, had since been
strengthened and reinforced by de-
clsIon Of the United States Supreme
court, given in answer to a request
by President Roosevelt, was called 10
mind. OF the important measures to
which the Republican party Of Maine
was pledged Mr.. Fernald mentioned
the Fifty Eight Hour Law for women
and children, the Initiative and Refe-
rendum, and Good Roads. The Pc
publican party, Mr. Fernald said. vas
also prominently the party now en-
trusted with the defence Of the fourth
amendment Of the Maine consti,u-
ton, that portion of the fundamental
law which forever prohibits the
manufacture and sale of intoxicante
within the territory af the state Of
Maine. He denied that there was
any ground for claiming that this
amendment should be referred % the
people for affirmation or rejection
with each succeeding generation but
deciared.that this could no more be
argued than that the preamble Of the
constitution Itself should now be re-
ferred, simply because there were
men living who had never had an op-
portunity to vote upon it.
Mr.. Fernald closed with a brilliant
peroration in which ne summarized
the great crises in American history
which had been wisely met By the
Republicans, asked every member of
the party TO vote the straight ticket
on election day, and thanked the au-
dience for their warm greeting and
courteous attention.
As he ceased speaking the audience
rose and gave three cheers for n e
speaker and the party, and then
there was a rush for the platform.

Mr.. Fernald's lips as ne greeted the
old soldier, evidently a former ac-
quaintance, with enthusiasm. Both
hands of the gubernatorial candidate
were busy from then on and during
this impromptu reception of half
hour or so Mr.. Fernald must have
shaken hands with farmers, mechan-
les, business men and their wives
from about every town in central
Somerset.

Grange Flower Evening.

Skowhegan Grange gave its ''Flow-
er Evening" program last evening to
large audience of its own members
and invited guests. The decorations
and all arrangements were on a very
elaborate scale and the program was
in many respects the most pleasing
which has been witnessed at Grange
meeting in recent years. Any ade-
quate description of what took place
would require space much beyond
what the REPORTER has at liberty in
the present issue and it has therefore
been decided to defer the full report
of the evening until next week.
Before the opening of the enter
tainment program business session
was held in which it was announced
that the programs for the next two
meetings would be transposed. The
committee of which Mrs. Clara w.
Eaton is chairman will, therefore
have charge of the next meeting,
September 8, when the question,
"Should we confine our membe rship
more strictly to the agricultural
classes" will be debated. Other por-
tions of the program, referring to de-
gree work, and the serving of sup
per by section E, on the evening of
September %, will be carried out as
printed in the annual calendar.

the first speaker of the afternoon,
Hon. Augustine Simmons of Arson,
the present Judge of Probate for
Somerset County. Judge Simmons
spoke very effectively in the short
time he chose to occupy, telling his
auditors of many most practical rea-
sons why they should continue the
Republican party in power in the
state and nation. He was willing to
give the Democracy of old, credit for
some virtues and could remember
with respect some of its leaders, es
pecially the late Grover Cleveland,
who he averred was better than his
party, and whom Democracy had be-
trayed and failed to appreciate, while
it had remained for the Republicans
to recognize his virtues and give his
craftsmanship its true place in his
tory. Judge Simmons read from the
national Democratic platform the
plank calling for the repeal of the
tariff on wood pulp, paper and lumber
and pointed out the seriousness of
this menace to the lumber and pulp
and paper industries of this state,
showing how a removal of the pro-
lection now afforded them would ulti-
mately affect most unfavorably every
one connected with these most i'm
portant industries, whether as manu-
facturers or wage workers. Mr.. Sim
mons closed with an urgent appeal to
the voters to remember that their
ballot at the September election was
of great value for its effect upon the
result in other states in November.
Mr. BLAIR OF BROOKLYN.
Hon. A. L. Blair of Brookly, N. Y.
was then introduced. This gentle
man is veteran campaigner and has
aided In keeping Maine in the safe
Republican column by participating
in several previous campaigns. He is
just bubbling over with wit, and his
good natured but luSty sallies at the
follies of Democracy highly amused
even the adherents of that party who
were present and kept the crowd in a
state of delighted expectancy. OF
course the peerless Onen came in
for his share and the application of
Emerson's definition of "a weedn to
the Democratic leader was received
with laughter and applause. 1.-THE Sage
of Concord" said the speaker, tide
fines weed as being vegetable the
virtues of which remain to be dis
covered, and this is the feeling l
often have toward Democracy's Pc
rennial candidate, under whose lead
ership the party has lost every nor
thern state but two and in those
Oregon and Minnesota Democratic
governors have been chosen only as
passing fancies."
1t was plain to be seen that Mr..
Blair had no love for Tammany Hall
and it is likely that residence in the
section of our country controlled for
SO many years BY "Tammany Tiger"
has acquainted him with the iniqui-
ties of that political ring to an extent
that Somerset people can hardly ap-
preciate. Mr.. Blair recommended, as
plan for converting every Democrat
in Maine and causing the state to cast
