GOWNS FOR HIS WIFE.
w. ID. Sloane Brings $4,000 Worth
From Europe Paying $12,O 900 Duty.

New York, July 2.-What is said
to have been the largest declaration of
personal property at this port was
made by William D. Sloane Of this
city. who with Mrs. Sloane, returned
from two months trip to Europe
aboard the Kron Prfnzessin Cecilie.
Mr.. Sloane In his declaration ad-
mitted that he had brought with him
to this country, as purchases in Eu-
rope more than $4,000 worth of
goods. principally gowns for his wife.
The duty was approximately $4,000.
which Mr.. Sloane paid in cash before
leaving the dock
Owing to the large passenger list in
the first cabin the receipts of the Gus
tom house yesterday were extra
ordinarily large. An average of &c.
600 for single ship is considered a
good days work by the custom house
authorities. but this sum was exceeded
by Mr.. Sloane's payment alone, while
there were several other passengers
who declared large amounts. The to-
tai cannot be definitely determned.
since this is matter that is held
inviolate, but judging from the aver
age Of declarations, it is not unlikely
that 100000 was taken in by the on
Gals, all of it coming from passengers
of the Kron Prinzessin Cecilie.

California on a vacation almost a year
ago, made new violin for himself
which, although 1t is not more than a
year old, is one of the finest sounding
instruments which has ever been
heard in Las Vegas and 1t is constant
ly improving.
man at Albuquerque, who exam
ined the instrument, has offered him
800 If he will make another instru-
ment for him and he is now working
on it. Mr.. Kirk has made repairs on
this city and Albuquerque and has
dozens and dozens of instruments in
had as many as nine violins in his
house at one time to be overhauled.
The making and repairing of vio-
Inns, says Engineer Kirk, is delicate
trade which is little understood and
that is one reason why there are so
many poor violins and so few good
ones. The wood which goes to make
up a violin has its different tones
and one important essential is that
the top piece should be one tone high
er than the back. To stand the
shrinkage of age. which improves the
tone, the shell must be well fitted.
Nearly every portion of violin box
varies in thickness according to a well
established rule and not only that but
each side must be- symmetrical to a
fiftieth of an inch.
Engineer Kirk says that If he was
not an engineer he could have all the
work he wanted and do good bust
ness as a repairer and manufacturer
of fine violins.

Detroit, July 2.-Did President
Roosevelt give a delegation of prom

rates the administration would lend
its moral support to the movement?
This question is now bothering the
members of the Michigan Manufac-

address by w. c. Brown last Monday
night upon the subject of Prosperity"
Mr.. Brown is senior vice president of

have to lower wages, with the certain

WiLSONPOlSON MYSTERY
Police in Philadelphia Admit They Are
Baf11ed.

Philadelphia, July 2.-The solution
of the Wilson poison mystery in this
city, which the authorities declared
would be made complete today has
not materialized, and it is admitted
that the police are no nearer to an
arrest of the person or persons who
sent the supposed poison to DR.. Wilson
in bottle of ale, than they were on
Monday. 1t is admitted that several
important things have developed that
may change the complexion of the
case completely. In the. first place the
detectives intimate that a woman
probably figured in the case and that
if she can be found probably will be
arrested. Just what this woman may
have to do with the case no one will
say. The only admission is that they
are looking for man and woman"
The civil authorities today invoked
the aid of the postal inspectors to as
sist them in finding where the letter
was mailed which DIR. Wilson received
notifying him that sample bottle of
ale had been shipped to him. 1t is
stated that the imitation typewriter
letter was printed by private indi-
vidual with an outfit purchased for the
purpose and that it is known where
the material was purchased with
which the work was done. The fact
that the doctor repaired his own auto
the poisoned ale reached him had pur-
chased cyanide of potassium to be
used in brazing a part of the automo-
bile, is regarded by the police as
significant in that it indicates the
sender of the poison, which was
cyanide of potassium, considered the
possibility of making it appear that
Dr. Wilson had poisoned himself,
either by accident or design.
The coroner's jury says unequivo-
cally that DR.. Wilson did not poison
himself. either accidentally or other
wise.
Mrs Wilson is dangerously i'll at her
home, Frustrated by the tragedy.

CoLORs AND COMPILATIONS.

The whole gamut Of amethystine,
hyacinthine tints has been involved in
the attire of 1908. We have deep NOR
bid puppies; blithe young lavenders.,
just the, shade of the first spring cro-
Gus; wrathful reddish puppies; pansy
tints, wintaria tints. violet tints, hya-
cinth tints and we see them placed i'm
partially on miladrs bonnet or my
lords spring scarf
What is worse. too, we see women
with muddy compilations and sallow
compilations and olive compilations and
sea-green compilations all assuming the
favorite color with the same touching
confidence that it will become them.
AS a matter of fact, the purpureal
shades are for the woman with the
white skin. Blondes with fluffy gold
hair and deep violet eyes and touch
of carmine on their white skins look
we'll in it; so do the women with coils
of dark red hair and the brunettes
with creamy skins and velvety dark
eyes. But let the woman with dull
tints of skin, eyes and hair think of
donning green before she would the
fashionable color.

DOWNFALL FOR WALSH.

Cleveland, o., April 21.-Time was
when Ed. Walsh, the stalwart pitcher
of the White Sox, had the Clevelands
beaten from the moment his name went
upon the score board But that time is
now one of those traditions of the
musty past. Last year they won
rather frequently from the young man
with the pretty pink cheeks and to-
day they started the series very hand
somely by giving him another beating,
the score being to 1 in favor Of the
Maps. 1t was not that Ed did not use
his spitters. for he did almost con-
tinuously until the ball when it ar
rived at the plate resembled sponge.
But even sponges can be touched up at
times. and today was one of those oc-
casions.
