 When asked as to the possibilities of concluding the work. Mir. Taft said:
 ''If it was only the matter of dig ging the ditch. I should suppose three years were enough time at the pres ent excellent rate of progress hut there are other things that we cannot estimate at this time. The work on the locks has not begun except of course in the beginning of the Gatun dam.

Washington, May 1.-The illness of Senators ElSins and Foraker. combin- ed with not a little politics. has held up in the Senate for several days. the passage of the Elkins resolutions to suspend the operation of the commod- ities clause of the Hepburn Railroad rate law.
 It is expected the resolution will pass, however ,as soon as these Sena- tors are able to return to their duties. There is considerable sentim ent against the resolution even among Senators who have promised to vote for 1t. If 1t passes both the Senate and the House and is approved by the President. 1t would permit railroads to continue to carry coal mined from property which they own. Several Senators have argued that to have the ,bilt become law would be bad poll ftics for the reason that 1t is lesisla- ton in the interest of the railroads and there will be very little legiSla- tion this session in the interest of any

 He looked ,at all the morning papers and told sJaiIer Havens that he did not think he was az nervous on the stand as some of the reporters de- scribed him He said that he had tried to be- careful of what hesaid,and he thought 1t was his extreme caution that caused his apparent nervousness. He was fatigued. he said when he went on the stand, after the long court ses- sion. He also said that the changing of stenographers. just after he took the stand, caused him some confusion. He was glad that the trial was over. He said he had been told by his experts that his conduct on the stand had prejudiced his case and he felt some discouragement. sN'

 New York. May I7.--Enorts will be made by Daniel oiReilly. counsel for Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, to secure a fur ther adjournment of the hearing sch eduled for Tuesday next in the pro- ceedinKs brought by Mrs. Thaw for the annulInent of her marriage to Harry K. Thaw.
 Former Judge Day is referee in the case. Mr. O'Reilly will base his re- quest for further postponement on the ground that certain evidence which he expects to present Is being utilized in the Thaw habeas corpus proceed ings Mrs, Thaw contends that her husband was insane at the time of their marriage on April {, 1907. Col onel Franklin Bartlett, one of Thaw's attorneys says he will move to have the proceedings dismissed when the case comes up Tuesday. He probably will object to a further postponement.

Let every woman take it to heart to

as that every individual may be COM

Bang to Return.

Bangs are coming back to fashion,
but that does not mean that young
women need cut their front hair short
and do it up in crimps at night,
neither smear it with the stick ounce
seed and dandelion lotions of ancient
bang days. The new bang is a soft,
fluffy row of what are called pincurls
resting on the forehead, just below
the pompadour; and they are called
pincurls presumably because a good
many of them are attached to a hair
pin arrangement and tucked in after
the pompadour is finished. That is to
say, they have no more connection with
the wearer's head than they have will.
the braids and puffs and curls that
decorate the top of it. This little row
of curly bang across the forehead is
to be considered more and more au
fait as the days go by.

LEARNING TO SWIM.


Persistence in undertaking is laud-
done sometimes, as in a case described
by Y. L. Molloy in "Our Autumn Hol-
iday on French Rivers" Mr.. Molloy
and his friend, longing for a good dive,
went to a swimming school on an ISL
and in the Seine. They donned their
rented costumes and were preparing
for the plunge, when man with ropes
came along and insisted on tying them
about their waists. 1t was according
to police regulations, and although they
made an indignant protest, they were
obliged to submit.
While we were dressing, says Mr..
Molloy, we asked the two swimming
masters for an extra towel.
Pardon" they replied, I'VE must at
tend to our monsieur"
Then we saw that there had come
upon the platform short and absurd
ly fat man, dressed in bathing CO.'S
tune, swimming sandals and oiled cap.
Lets see him go in,' said we.
"What splash he'll make!"
The swimming masters received the
new arrival at the middle of the plat
form. There he balanced himself on
his stomach on a wooden stump two
feet high. The masters seized him by
his hands and feet, and with slow and
deliberate movements made him strike
out with the action of swimming. They
kept this up for quarter Of an hour,
and the perspiration rolled off him In
great drops.
Hell be awfully hot to go into the
water after that" said l.
But he did not go into the water.
The swimming lesson over, he moved
toward the dressing room, saying:
"I have done better to-day"
"Ah, yes" answered one Of the MAG
tiers. 'Your progress is admirable"
The fat man beamed with complais-
ance, and went in to dress.
1 called the swimming masters
aside.
"Does our monsieur practice often
like that? lie must have great perse-
verance."
Perseverance He has worked like
this for FIVE years, and he has never
been In the water! !"
