step toward reform.
Every senator except Foelker, or

bling and in asking only for a commits

ton.
Senator Cassidy, republican, who at

FRIENDS TO AID
MAN ONCE RICH
Old Time Acquaintance Save
G. j. L. Meyer From
Poorhouse.

Chicago, Tune 13.-Men who knew c. 7
L.. Meyer when he was the wealthiest citi-
zen OF Fond du Lac, Wis, have rallied to
his aid and the old man will not end his
days in a ~poorhouse at Milwaukee or else
where.
The former lumber magnate who on
Wednesday applied to County Agent FELL
son at Milwaukee for admission to the
poorhouse is now at the Athearn hotel in
Oshkosh, Wis, the guest of E. p. SAWYER
of that city, son of the late Senator Saw
yer, and president Of the Oshkosh Gas
Light company. Mr.. Sawyer, whose father
was at one time associated in business
with Mr.. Meyer, says the latter shall
never go to the poorhouse.
Mr.. Sawyer has made arrangements so
that Mr.. Meyer may live in comfort the
balance of his life. Many Milwaukee men
have volunteered to aid in the care Of
Mr.. Meyer. among the first to offer as
sistance being two former conductors on
the Northwestern road whe
kindnesses shown them by the roads
first president.
1t seems that Mr.. Meyer was in a char
ity home a year ago. Arrangements were
made at that time to place him in the
Protestant Home for the Aged in Milwau
kee, an institution that accepts old people
for life on payment of a nominal lump
sum or on other conditions.
Mr.. Meyer went to the home, but re-
manned only a month and then left. in the
hope Of still being able to earn enough TO
care for himself and TO discharge his
financial obligations still remaining as the
result of business reverses.
Herman l.. Meyer, the son, who lives In
Chicago, says the situation is the result Of
family troubles
MY father wished to bring shame upon
his other children said Mr.. Meyer. His
two daughters are wealthy through his
gifts. He feels that they should look after
him.
The whole affair Is the result of fam
lily troubles over business. My father
started a concern in Chicago and one in
Hermanville, Wis. The Chicago concern
failed through some dishonest transac-
tons. leaving me, one Of the partners, pen
niless. The Hermanville concern has
prospered. Mrs. George w. Earle. OF Her
manville, and Mrs. Henry w Moore, of
Fond 1u Lac, my fathers daughters. are
interested in it and he thinks that they
should take care OF him."

WATER NOW RECEDES

Topeka, Kas., June 11.-About 1000
persons were driven from their homes
In North Topeka by the flood In the
Kaw river. The major portion found
shelter In Topeka proper. where the
auditorium, school buildings and pri-
vate homes have been opened to them.
No loss of life Is reported, but there
has been much property loss. The
crest OF the God reached Topeka this
morning, when the water began to re-
cede and by $3.50 had fallen three

ADOPTS
SHEATH GOWN,
SKIRT AND ALL
Slender, Well Rounded Women
Rejoice, but Fat Ones
Despair.

Paris, June 13.-The fashion of the di-
rectoire for women, the sheath gown,
with the skirt divided below the knee,
is the established vogue for the time.
How long it will last, he would be a
daring prophet who would venture to
predict, for the fair Parisiennes change
their fashions as often as they do their
minds.
With these striking gowns, which to-
day are anachronistic, some women
who run TO extremes of any mode. are
wearing Merry Widow hats of equal
circumference with al umbrella, and
most gorgeously trimmed.
The fashion gives all advantage for
the display of their beauty to women
with graceful, willowy figures. Short,
stout, 'dumpy" women, who rather
would be in their graves thar out OF
the style, are in despair.
Some of these are adopting heroic
measures to melt their too solid flesh,
starving themselves, jumping the rope,
taking long walks Of a morning.
Others are flying to various quacks
who profess to reduce ~embonpoint too
decided by using drugs and massage.
That the directoire gown is the vogue
was proved again at a very swell we'd
ding this week, that of Prince D'Aren-
berg (Who was reported to be be-
trothed to Levi p. Morton's daughter
Helen, formerly the Duchess Valencay)
and Mile. Therese r. Destissac. Many
Americans were among the guests. Be
cause no authoritative announcement
as TO fashions this summer had been
made, all the women were anxious to
see If any such gowns as delighted
Barras were worn at the wedding.

Mrs. Astor's Moulded Gown.
London, June 13.-Mrs J. j.. Aastor wore
the EXTREMIST type of directoire dress at
EPSON. 1t was of pale yellow muslin, and
fitted so tightly around the hips and
ankles that intense curiosity was ex-
pressed as to how she got into it. Walking
or sitting was difficult business, but her
perfect figure was shown to the utmost
advantage, and she attracted more atten-
ton than the Derby winner. Her immense
hat was gray satin, covered with a mound
of mauve, rose blue and yellow pansies.
Getting in and out of her motor, she had
to tilt her head to an acute angle to nego-
tate the door with this headgear. Al the
Derby she was with Mrs. Waldorf Aston
and Lady Alaistair Innes-Kerr.
Nora Iselin Causes Stir.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Olive Iselin, who are
stopping at the Berkeley, were guests Of
Ambassador and Mrs. Reid at luncheon
in Dorchester house. Miss Nora Iselin
was one Of the sensations of the royal
ball at Lady Londesborough's, at which
she was chaperoned by Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid. She was the tallest girl in the room
and was considered remarkably good look
ing. Her dress, white satin, en- princess,
fitted her like a scabbard, the light eff
feet ending to lengthen her tall figure. AS
she entered the ballroom there was a buzz
Of excitement.
