NEW WATERPROOF
COATS
Also. Something Concerning the
Newer Things in Dust
Coats.

Some OF the waterproof fabrics which
1t is asserted are free from rubber are
made up into good looking coats and come
In excellent colorings. The imported model
reproduced here was of checked water
proof material, in two shades OF beige and
a very little white. and the collar was OF
velvet in the popular chaudron shade.
Good green and blue effects are offered in
these materials and in the waterproof silks
as well.
Outside the strictly tailor made class Of
dust coats. yet simple enough to be prac-
tical, are tussor coats Of more fanicful
form, slightly full. made with big armholes
and odd sleeves, trimmed with embroidery
on collar and cuffs and with motifs of en-
broidery. There are delightful coats. too,
whose trimming consists entirely OF null
titudinous little buttons and imitation but
ton holes of silk, and indeed, buttons of one
sort or another play a very considerable
part in the trimming of most of the
seasons coats.
With their attendant simulated button
holes they may be set along the full length
OF straight long fronts, along open sides,
up the outside seams of sleeves. along the
openings in the back of the coat skirt, on
the pockets. Big buttons often emphasize

detachment of troops sent to capture them.
A lively fight ensued, in which one trooper
was killed and several were wounded. One
bandit was captured, but the remainder
escaped and are now in the wilds Of the
state Of Durango, having crossed the border
between Coahulla and that state shortly
after the battle. The captured bandit is
now in prison in the city OF Torreon.
In giving access to the correspondence
containing the above facts to the Associated
Press and in commenting upon the happen
ings, Vice President Corral today said:
For over a score of years the republic
of Mexico has been absolutely free from
bandit raids or uprisings imilar TO the
disgraceful affair which occurred at Vilsca
yesterday. For that reason we will mete
out strong punishment to these criminals,
in order that the world at large may know
that the days of the bandit in this country
have passed.
From private Information which / have
received today / am satisfied that most
of the men concerned in the raid have
spent time in jail before. The men were

who had been imprisoned, and for that

them. 1t was the same crowd Of men

she was Roger .sullivan's aunt and was 81
years old. She was disappointed because
Sullivan was not in the party. but she
made us get out Of our machines and go up
to the porch. where she prepared a

CITY OF MEXICO, June N.-Wild stories
concerning a formidable and serious revo-
lutionary outbreak in the northern part
Of Mexico were wholly discredited today
by telegraphic reports received from Gov
ernor Cardenas, of the state of Coahuila.
According to these telegraphic advices
which were received by Vice President Cor
raj today, one OF the boldest bandit raids
ever attempted in the history OF Mexico
was successfully carried out when the town
Vilsca was assaulted and looted yesterday.
The bandits, numbering fifty, all well
armed and mounted, swooped down upon
the town without warning. A feeble resist
ance was made by the police of the plaza,
but after three of them were killed and
three more wounded, the marauders prac-
tically had things their own way. They
first proceeded to the jail, releasing all the
inmates, some Joining the robbers. The
bandits next headed for the bank of Nueva
Leon. a branch of the main institution of
that name. which is located in Monterey.
They soon overpowered the employees there
and robbed the bank Of all the money they
could get. The sum is not stated in the
official dispatches.
POstOmce Robbed.
From there the robbers with a whoop
went to the government stamp office, loot
ing it and doing great damage TO the post
office. They then turned their attention
to the express office, robbing 1t. By this
time the whole of the towns population
was terrified. The bandits cut the tele-
graph wires and tore up some railroad
track. However, before communication was
interrupted, word was sent to the state
capital Of the assault.
Governor Miguel Cardenas Immediately
reported the raid to the secretary OF the
interior here and dispatched local troops
to the scene. After imprisoning the mund-
cipal officers and further terrifying the in
habitants of the town the bandits got word
that troops were on the way TO the scene,
They then prepared to flee. In the morn
ing they left, proceeding via Hacienda
Horhss and the town OF Matamoros de la

ing, filmy Philippine fabrics, which she
brought back to the states with her
after her long residence in Manila.
And yet she brought only what she
might have actual need Of in the near
fture. According to her thrifty nature.
she purchases only what she can see
a use for. Mrs. Taft has never been
wealthy. Her money is always spent
judiciously.
Mrs. Taft patronizes always the con.
sentative establishments. Good val.
ne for the money is what she looks
for first in shopping. She rarely goes
into the cheap stores, except for unim.
portant articles, which careful women
know how to buy. During her resi-.
dence in Washington she has done her
purchasing mainly in the shops along
+ street.
Mrs. Taft and her daughter are both
careful buyers. In doing Christmas
shopping, they rarely are guilty Of pur-
chasing useless trifes. They go about
months before the holiday week, and
by the time other Christmas shoppers
are beginning to think Of buying, their
gifts are bought and carefully put
away, carefully labeled, awaiting the
suspicious day. In this respect Mrs.
Taft is much like Mrs. Roosevelt, only
that Mrs Roosevelt does much of her
gift shopping in the jewelry shops.
while Mrs. Taft is more apt to look
in the department or notion stores.

WASHINGTON.-The rough ri.
w ders" of the Taft administration
will be the members of the Yale class
OF 1878. When Roosevelt became
president the soldiers of his famous
regiment became the White House
pets. The Rough Rider colonel never
overlooked an opportunity to show his
affection for his comrades by granting
them favors of great and small i'm
portance. The fondness of the presi-
dent for his cowboys and quick shoot
ers was so pronounced that it had a
marked effect on the popular under
standing of his administration.
Mr.. Taft's personal loyalty and de-
votion will go to an entirely different
set OF men. The one set of men whom
ne places above others in sentimental
and affectionate regard is made up of
the youngsters, now grown up, who
graduated at Yale in 1878. Nearly all
OF these men are now little over so
years of age, and most Of them I'M
der SIS.
Those in good health are in active
occupations, and large number have
made their marks in various lines
They live in many countries of the
world and cover wide ranges of work.
