A Betting Jumper.

Embroidered linen betting. In white
and color, may be bought by the yard
and a very clever little lady has used
e TO make herself jumper. A dou-
'ble thickness over the shoulder, from
the waist line in the front to the
waist line I'm the back, is the founda-
zion OF the garment. while n few
straps across the back and front give
the whole a very jumper-like appear
Ance.
The four loops at the waist line
formed by the shoulder straps are
,nsed to slip the belt through so when
IT is worn with white skirt and
blouse the effect is of one of the pop
alar one-piece dresses.
II is just such an arrangement that
makes It possible to wear a blouse
and skirt without coat.-Pittsbur
Dispatch.

Figure is Straightcr.

Word comes from Paris that the
fashionable figure is becoming
straighter, with less bust, more waist.
4 still greater dimunition OF the hips
and an unwarrantable length of limb
until in twilight every tree or um-
brella may turn out TO be woman.
The corset that achieves this elonga-
ted torso is an astonishing contriv-
ance suggesting a cross between n
swallow-tailed coat and a stove-pipe
and is strapped down in the back TO
the stocking. Nine. Rejane gives n
striking example OF the way in which
a large frame may be put into these
required up-and-dowR lines. In a
very long limp garment that might
have suggested winding sheet had IL
not been black and that clung about
her limbs like scales on fish. she
appeared recently at vanishing
day" With the untwining of her
draperies, she displayed black patent
leather shoes mounted on high ame-
thyst heels and adorned with ame-
thyst buckles. Lace stockings of the
same hue cleaning through the black
folds of her skirt were judiciously
displayed at every step. A broad
gauge sash. further accentuating her
up-and-downness of line, was caught
high on her waist, hanging in long
straight folds weighted with heavy
fringe. giving length at the expense
Of every hairs breath Of width.-Ar-
gonaut.

jamaican Cotton.

Mr. o. F. Cook. of the Department
OF Agriculture. reports that cotton of
a primitive type, collected by Pro-
fessor n. l.. Britton and Mr.. William
Harris in coastal thickets in the ex-
treme southern part OF Jamaica.
seems TO be undoubtedly avid plant.
1t resembles type Of cotton which
grows wild on the Florida Keys. The
interest of the discovery lies largely
in the suggestion OF Prof. Britton
that this cotton may prove very VAL
liable for breeding purposes. since II
furnishes new point OF departure.
The existence OF wild cotton IN Ja-
maica has been affirmed before. but
the evidence hitherto has not been
eonvipeing.-Youth's Companion.

ROOSEVELT ON ANARCHISTS.
Sends Message to Congress on Laws ts
 Check Their Activity.

'
 Washington, April 1O.--Referring t. the anarchist as the most dangerous ol all criminals, President Roosevelt i1 one of the shortest messages he has vel transmitted to congress urges further legislation that would enable the au thorities to stamp out anarchy.
 The president asks stricter immigra tion laws to bar anarchists effectually and more rigid postal laws under which all anarchistic literature, pub lished here or abroad, may be excluded from the mails. With the message he transmitted a report by Attorney Gen eral Bonaparte reviewing the legal phases of the question.
 The presidents message is as fol- lows:
 T herewith submit letter from the department of justice which explains itself Under this opinion I hold that existing statutes give the president the power to prohibit the postmaster gen eral from being used as an instrument III IuS cl Il LlldL IS, lp prohibit the use of the mails for advo- cacy of murder, arson and treason, and shall act upon such construction
 "Unquestionable. however, there should be further legislation by con gross in this matter. When compared with the suppression of anarchy, every other question sinks into insignifcance. The anarchist is the enemy of human ity, the enemy of all mankind. and his is deeper degree of criminality than any other.
 No immigrant is allowed to come to our shores if he is an anarchist, and no paper published here or abroad should be permitted circulation in this coun- try if it propagates anarchistic opin. ions"
 The opinion of the attorney general, which the president transmits to con gross, embraces a discussion of the whole subject from many legal angles. His first conclusion is that an article in question which advocates the use of arms and dynamite in annihilating po- lice and soldiers that anarchy may pre- vail constitutes a 'seditious libel" and Ifs undoubtedly a crime at common law"

HARTMAN TO GET ERIE?
Wall Street Hears He Will Make It
 Part of Great System.

New York, April 10.-Following the action of k. H. Hartman in providing $5,500,000 for the payment of maturing notes, 1t was said in Wall street that the Erie road will shortly pass under the absolute control of Mir Hartman and his associates. who stand ready 10 spend under certain conditions from S30,000,000 to S40,O0O,0O0 for improve ments in terminals, tunnels, trackage and rolling stock.
 If these plans are completed. Mir. Harriman's dream of perfectly equip ped complete transcontinental road, with the Erie as the eastern outlet, will have come true. Although 1t can not be stated with certainty how soon if will be before the Morgan interests cease to dominate the Erie, those who claim to be in the confidence of MT. Hartman predict that this will be ac- complished at no distant date.

The delegations uninstructe0 are claimed to be for Hughes, with the exception of the Fourteenth, where a resolution indorsing the governors candidacy was voted down. In this portion of the city is the Aqueduct race track, and the opposition to the govern or in the Fourteenth is credited to 8 disapproyal of the governors attitude in opposition to race track gambling.

POL-I'S
HATTIE WILLIAMS.

The attraction at Polls this even ing will be Hattie Williams in that daintiest musical comedy success, ''The Little Cherub," which comes to us after nearly two seasons in Now York city. "The Little Cherub," which is by Ivan Caryll and Owen Hall, the authors of "The Girl from Rays Gin which Miss Williams ap- peared with Sam Bernardo served as Miss Williams's. introduction to New York city as star year ago last August, and both star and play made such hits that they continued at the Criterion theater for nearly eight months before leaving for short tour of few of the big cities. Miss Williams and "The Little Cherub" reopened the Criterion this season and received another cordial welcome. New songs, new dances, new music and new features have been added to make "The Little Cherub" thoroughly up 10 date, and among these features two of the pleasantest surprises were the bur lesque limitations of Maude Adams, Ethel Barrymore, William Gillette, Rose Stahl, Madame Nazimova and other famous stars by Miss Williams, and burlesque on "The Merry Widow" waltz by Miss Williams. Among the various song gems in "The Little Cherub," "Experience" has proven to be the sensational hit of two seasons and has been widely initiated everywhere. Other songs that are bound to be as popular here as they have been in New York are "The Doggie in Our Yard Meet Me by Twilight" Popular Songs" and Little Willie Browne Prices 25 cents to $1.50.
