FIRE DESTROYS GRAND STAND.
Old Alexander Island Race-track
Structure Razed 20 Ground.

The once famous Alexander Island
race course Is now but thing Of the
memory Not even the dilapidated grand
stand. which for so many years has re-
minded the passer-by of the one-time
glory, remains-onIy a few eharred
stumps, grim tokens OF the thousands
upon thousands of dollars that went up
in smoke, so 10 speak. when the bookies
we're doing business south Of the Po-
tQmac.
The Alexander Island race track was
opened in 1888 and ran with uninterrupted
success for four years, or until 1896, when
il shut down. Running races with purses
worth many hundreds of dollars were
contested for daily during the meets IN
those years.
The destruction Of the landmark came
about through FIRE which broke out about
o'clock yesterday afternoon and burned
the structure to the ground. The blaze
was Of unknown origin.

Attractive Coats.

Among the severe modes are some
most attractive coats in blue serge
with color introduced in the collar.
Bright reds, greens, and even orange
are the color notes most used. One
of the smartest coats seen this fall is

serge finished with narrow strappings,
pipings and buttons OF black satin,
cunning little scaxf Of satin and COZ
lar facing of deep yellow channels cona-
pleted the charming wrap. Apropos
of utility coats there is nothing so
chic as the large check woolens in
black and white with collars of black
satin or of black combined with a
bright color. Black and white stripes
still retain a certain prestige, though
as a rule they show soil readily and
are not desirable for all figures, while
broken plaids and invisible markings
are becoming to almost any type.

Other little boys were dressed in the

in the Cannibal islands.

Detective Saunders, who was also

gz9S{HSsSSS~G URE enough, WOmanKlnd
kSSIen EAN has been terribly stirred
Era ~sEM up this season about the
[SNNHh KSG fashions. The launching
&MEIW6SAea of the sheath gown was
EasfazAAAAE.zs&a a shock, and the predic-
tions about clothes in general-and
corsets in particular-were nothing
short of appalling.
But, you know, it is one of the char
acteristics of the American woman to
jump to conclusions. A fault it is
termed by some, but it embodies such
spontaneity and freshness that older
and wiser heads condone it.
Well, as always happens after a
great excitement, we come down to
earth, and the modification Of the ex-
IRENE is usually very satisfactory. The
case of the corset is no exception to
the rule.
The new corsets are high and low,
but they are not designed to distOrt
the figure, as has been threatened. If
you have noticed well-dressed wom-
en-, you have realized that the sill
houette lacks nothing of grace.
Just practical word about the
'long and short" of the corset-they
| must in a measure be considered as
comparative terms. The corset must
| be high or low for the individual wear
err. The corset must not be of incon-
venient height under the arms; it must
not be so high in the back as to form
a prop for the shoulder blades (who
has not seen this), thereby accentuat-
ing them.
1t must not be so high in front as to
form chin-rest for the slim woman
or to "shelve" the bust of a fat wom-
an. The bones of corset should not
be so long, in either the front or back,
as to make the wearer conscious OF
their existence. OF course, the cor
set proper may be longer and higher
than it's bones. If the bones be too
long they will be pushed up when the
wearer is seated, which will cause an
unsightly bulge in the corset.
A corset should be fitted to the
wearer in sitting position, and, if
perfectly right then, it cannot be
wrong when any other attitude is as
| sumed.
| The slender woman may assume the
| high corset with less danger than the
stout woman; for the long corset is, OF
course, good for both alike.
| The proper fit of corset is consid
cred so important by the dealers in
5ood corsets that, in many shops, only
a corset-maker is permitted to super
| intend the slightest alteration.

avenue of escape, but finding none,

in dilemma. He had just crawled
from behind small pile of gravel
where he had been sleeping, and had
been seen by the officers. A single

ciples of Sherlock Holmes that the
man was of the class they wanted.
He was the lone representative of the

too much for him and he only could
gasp. Then he began to think, or ap-
peared to be thinking. Reaching in
his trousers pocket he brought out a
small mirror He surveyed his swarthy
features, from which coal dust could
be scraped, and sighed. He replaced
the glass and looked at the officers.

how long it was since water had

The much-dreaded bath was decided
to be the lesser of the two evils, and
he said he would enter the water.
"Shall jump in with all me clothes

He was told a better effect could be
had by his appearing as nature man.
He was slow in removing his garments
and it was necessary to urge him on.
The soiled hat was carefully removed
and placed on the ground, and so on
until he took off his footwear The
officers stepped back several yards. 1t
was unnecessary to remove the hose.
They simply fell off. Then the hobo
waded into the water and started to
come out after wetting his ankles. He
was urged to try again. Finally he
was made to sit down, roll over, and
after much persuasion, to wash his
face and wet his head.
He emerged shiyering like a wet
dog. He hurriodly donned his clothes
and when he had tied his shoes he
asked if he could go. Ingram replied

SIMPLE CURE FOR RED NOSE.
Massage of the Face Will Be Found to
Work Wonders.

Old Father Winter is almost with us,
and with him will come cold days,
when noses will look red and unat-
tractive. A cure for this trouble is
very necessary, and, as it is merely a
question of circulation, it is very cas-
lily remedied. The nose and the
surrounding part of the face should
be gently rubbed night and morn
ing with the tips of the fingers. This
will stimulate the glands and promote
the healthful action of the skin.
In fact, the massage of the whole
face night and morning will keep the
little blood vessels all acting so nice
ly that the complexion will soon be-
come visibly better. The massage
does not take very long, and 1t is we'll
worth trying.
