The foregoing telegram received
this afternoon by The Argus from Mr..
McCaskrin. who is in Chicago to speak
at the Cook county independence con-
yention today brings assurance that
the leaders of the new political move
ment will be here. Mr.. Hisgen is the
candidate fer president nominated at
Chicago and Mr.. Hearst is the father
of the party.
This news will be particularly well
come TO the Davenport mion labor
committee arranging for the celebrd
ton of Labor day at Suburban island
for it has just been learned that Sam
uel GOmpers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, will not be
able to be present.
Thought He Had Accepted.
Though it had been advertised
that he would appear and prom
Uses were secured that number OF
outside unions would participate on
the strength of the announcement. the
committee in charge now states with
regret that Mr.. Gompers has now writ
ten positively that it will be out of the
question for him to come at that time
1t seems that but one letter was re-
ceived from Mr. GOmpers prior to the
letter now at hand, and in it he gave
such promises as to lead to the under
standing that he would come. Mr.
Gompers, in his final answer, recon-
mended Vice President Dennis Hayes
of the A. F. of L. as a substitute, but
he, too. on being invited by wire, re-
sponded that he was already engaged
for the day.

WOMEN'S AUTUMN SUITS
OF MANY MODES.

ZACH season brings two dis
tinct classes of womens suits One is the
sentative. nannishly tailored style. changing
little from year to year. except in length of coat size
of sleeves, width of skirt. The other is ornate
model. exploiting in some way the more pronounced
modes Of the season.
Nearly all variations are built around one or the
other of these two classes
This year the coat of the conservative suit is long
er, the sleeves long narrower and with much less
ulness at armhole and the skirt cingng and inclined
to simplicity.
The influence of the Directorate and the Empire
is written all over the ornate suit. with its broad
apels tall collar wide pockets tailed coat high belted
skirt and very likely sash.
Suits of every variation of the two distinct modes
arriving daily.
There also many other delightful models not to be
found everywhere and developments of the
coming season best styles.

JANE OF BOSTON.

Jane is a heterogeneous maid,
Incomprehensible, too, IN afraid.
Postulatory in dress
Nor lives the man who could quite I'M
derstand
Her old insinuatoriness and
All her salubriousness.
Yet she's no acatalectical girl,
No unaccountably statuesque pearl,
No plus phenomenal freak;
She is the purely compatible bud
Of that confabulatorial blood
Which must evolve the unique.
All her marked cognoscibility proves
She breathes deep exigencies when she
moves,
Uneolliquant as can be:
Hyperaesthetical? Yes, but III state
observation-disclosures makes that trait
Supererogatory.
Sum her up then as an alogy lass,
Rather miscrophylous, hap, in the mass
Ultra mundane when she balks:
Still she's as good as there is IN the
land
I'd like her well could 1 but under

S4n5ents of human nature VIII nhd
IN the spectacle of the crew OF the
Gladiator going to their deaths Witn a
SONG ON their lips another proof OF the
eft that singing is the best outlet for
human emotions in the time OF great
s+ress and fear. Here were over lOo
nan face to face with death; land
was within $50 yards of them and they
might have been excused had they
broken ranks and dived into the sea.
Instead of that, however, they stood
shoulder to shoulder, singing the well
known song, ''Sons of the Sea-" Ot
conrse. the reason why human beings
sing at such moment as this is be-
cause it steadies the brain and pre-
vents dangerous thinking. Many a
time a song has saved hundreds OF
lives when nothing else could have
done anything.
The Gladiator incident recalls in some
features the great disaster of 1852,
when the troopship Birkenhead found
cred in St. Simon's bay, near Cape
Town, says London Chat. There were
635 persons on board, including the
crew. several detaehments of soldiers
and women and children. Although 1t
was quickly seen that the vast majority
Of those on board must perish, there
was never the slightest approach to
manic. At word from their officers
the troops assembled on deck as If on
narade. and when the command was
Given to lower the boats for the wo-
men and children the soldiers sang
ssGod Save the Queen" not with the
object of staying their own fears, but
merely to cheer up the passengers as
they descended into the boats. Prob
ably the world has never witnessed
more heroic episode than thls-the
nassinp of more than 400 heroes to a
grave in the sea. Shortly after the
boats got away from the doomed snip
she sank, and out of total or o5S
lives only 1S4 were saved. England
NAV we'll be proud when she can pro-
duee such men as these. They made
the annals of their country richer by a
story of almost superhuman courage.
A few years later discipline OF the
Birkenhead sort saved over 300 lives
The ship was the Sarah Sands, and she
set sail from Portsmouth with 800 sol
diers and a large crew. Suddenly the
cargo. part of which was ammunition,
took fire, and it seemed impossible to
overcome it. The officers, however, re-
solved to fight the flame, and there was
no attempt to desert. the ship. The
troops were assembled on deck, and
from time to time detachments We're
called upon to help in the work. But
it was a long battle. A barrel of gun
powder exploded, and no sooner We're
the flames beginning to tire than the
ship experienced a terrific gale. De-
spite all this the ship reached the
Mauritius without having lost single
life, the imperturbability and stoildlty
of the troops having saved the vessel
when the slightest of panic would have
DESTROYED all chance of life.
The recent wreck of the Berlin pro,

How People Meet Death
The Wonderful Influence of Song Over
Human Beings
Human Beings


long night, when the illclad passengers
were fighting against the tempest and
the extreme cold, lady who had just
fuinlled an engagement at the Covent
Garden opera house sang at intervals
all the sweetest songs in her repertoire.
Nine years ago a boat load of wo-
men and children listened amid dark
ness to one of their number who found
in song the best solace for the dangers
of the deep. They had been on the
Inflated Stella, and during their wand
erinqs in the overcrowded boat, help
less and in direst peril, they were
eheered by the highspirited girl who
sang them back to courage and hope.
On the occasion of another ship
wreck the chief distraction from the
worries of brooding over death was
provided by a clergyman who sang
come songs and accompanied himself
on the piano.
1t is not often that anything humor-
ous is chronieled concerning a ship
wreck, but there is a story told of
certain actor who found himself in tins
unpleasant position. When the ship
struck the rock his first thoughts in
clined to prayer But the only part of
the PRAYER book that he knew was A
man may not marry his grandmother, =
and he kept repeating this until Provi-
dence in the shape of tugboat arrived
and took him off.
Mining disasters resemble ship
wrecks in respect of the means en-
ployed to steady the nerves. Thus
when fifty men were buried alive in a
mine in the Rhondda valley they sang
LEAD, Kindly Light" until death
claimed thirty-six of them. Then at
Hampstead, while the anxious crowds
were waiting for news of brothers,
sons and husbands in the pit below,
they sang various hymns, including
ssAbide With Me- and "Safe in the
Arms of Jesus 1t was singing, sing
ing all the way, until hope had to be
abandoned and bitter tears replaced
the half hopeful, half depressing hymns.
