 HmfW

II VIII De Heguiar Cut-ano-Drttn
 Affair.
 Birmingham. May 3.-(Special) )-The State Convention of the Republican party. Thompson, or administration faction, on Wednesday. May 6, will be a cut-and- dried affair.
 There will be large attendance. no less than between 400 to 500 delegates and alternates and on-lookers. The following business will be transacted: Called to order by the State Chair man, J o. Thompson. election of a temporary chairman; appointment of conditions; election of four delegates from the Stateat-large to the Ch icago Convention and instructing them to vote for Secretary W. H. Taft for the Presidential nomination; adoption of resolutions endorsing President Roose- welt and his administration: adoption of resolutions endorsing the State Chairman, J. O. Thompson, and his administration; election of a new State Committee and the selection by that most likely J. O. Thompson again.
 There is no indication of any dis cussions to amount to anything on the floor of the convention. One of the four delegates-at-large from the State to the National Convention will be a negro. There appears to be no doubt but that J. O. Thompson has perfect control over affars and the indication are that he will be reelected chairman without opposition. He is strongly partisan for Secretary Taft for the Presidency.

and hopes to wear one with success
The fashionable petticoat not only fits
tightly throughout its length, but it
lacks the flare at the bottom which
has been fashionable so long. 1t is
now necessary to strike happy mean
between the aforesaid flare and the
uncomfortable Sinking in around the
feet which is so Objectionable in a
petticoat. A good way in which to
achieve this happy compromise is to
have the foundation of the skirt-that
is the lower edge-made OF material
that has some body, such as a soft
taffeta, and the trimming, IL it be in
the shape of flounce, made of softer
material-lace, chiffon or an inter-
mingling of both. Satin is, of course,
softer than taffeta, and the fiounce
may also be made of soft satin, al
though lingerie and chiffon flounces
are even more fashionable.
Satin petticoats for evering wear
are made with flounces of net trimmed
with f1let lace, or the fiounces instead
of being trimmed with lace, have pat
tern formed of narrow satin or velvet
ribbon made on the lace. A very effec-
tive pattern made on a f1ounce of open
net was of squares or blocks, the rib
bon being made into a lattice work
to make the blocks. Blocks of net
so trimmed alternate with those of the
plain net.
Other skirts having net or chiffon
fiounces were trimmed with embroid.
cry done in narrow ribbon This is
a favorite trimming for brocade petit
coats. A blue Powered brocade petit
coat was trimmed with a chiffon
fiounce having an embroidery in mar
row blue ribbon. Spangles are fire.
quently used with this ribbon en-
broidery for an evening petticoat
It is also fashion of the moment
to trim brocade petticoats with floun-
ces of net having an applique decora-
ton which has been cut from the bro
cade
Petticoats for street wear are made
with very soft founces trimmed with
self-colored embroidery. They match
the skirt in every instance except
when black is worn, and then some
times black and white underskirts
are used.

Scarfs In Favor.

Scarfs will be worn more and more
as spring approaches and furs are
packed away. SO it's well to be pre-
pared.
Very pretty and most serviceable are
the new motor scarfs," made like the
knitted or crocheted scarfs, but worn
about the neck over the collar to pro-
tect 1t from dust and to give some
little warmth. Special spools of silk
three times the size of the ordinary
spools are to be had for these scarfs,
so that the silk will not have to be
Joined anywhere. Made up in white
or any light shade the motor scarfs
are most attractive and are to be
worn by men as we'll as women to
protect the collar from the dye of a
fur coat. They are from four to six
inches in width and about a yard In
length. A two-inch fringe Of the silk
makes an attractive finish to this
smart scarf.

Newest White Waists.

The newest and smartest white
waists are made of crepe de chine,
tucked or gathered or plated quite
like those Of lingerie, and sometimes
decorated with lace or hand embroi-
derry. Such waists are being worn by
all the fashionable Parisiennes in
place of the lace or lingerie waists,
and are considered decidedly more
chic. Usually they are made up over
a lining of thin taffeta or china silk.
which gives them the necessary
body" Without some such aid the
crepe de chine waist clings rather un-
pleasantly to the figure. revealing I'M
beautiful angles quite as readily and
unkindly as a superfiuity of flesh,
and somehow lacking the air of smart
ness that one instinctively looks for
in a waist intended for wearing with
a coat suit.

In DEADLY CLIMATE
BUILDING OF KoNGo RAILROAD
A WORK OF DIFFICULTY.
Thousands of Human Lives and MIL
lions OF Dollars Expended on Line
Pushed Through the Heart of
Africa.

The Kongo railroad, the building Of
which was tragedy for the first three
years. has turned out to a very prof
liable enterprise, says the Railroad
Gazette. The Kongo and its tribu-
taries form navigable system Of
more than 5000 miles, which was sub
stantially isolated from the rest of the
world by rapids and shoals beginning
about 100 miles from It's mouth The
only outlet for the basin of the river
below, Stanley pool, about $50 miles
from its mouth, was by a footpath
through the wilderness, over which
porters could carry burden of 66 to
II pounds in IL to 20 days, at the risk
of their lives and with incredible ia
tigue. In 1887 about 1000 tons were
SO carried-largely ivory-and the
path was lined with the skeletons of
those who had succumbed on the way,
and men could not be had to carry
more.
The railroad was planned to give an
outlet to the thousands of miles of
navigable streams above Stanley pool.
Its lower terminus was established at
Matadi, 80 miles from the mouth of
the river, which is reached by ocean
steamers. Thence to Stanley pool,
ESQ miles, it was estimated that rail-
road Of 30-inch gauge could be built
for $25,000,000. Actually when rs
miles had been built this original cap
ital was all gone, and only by a loan
from the Belgian government could
the work be continued. 1t was two
years before six miles of track could
be laid, and at the end of the fourth
year there were only IS miles, and
1t was eight years before the road
was completed, at cost of $82, 0O0,-
900, instead of the $25,00O,000 of the
original estimate-at the rate of $63, 632
per mile for light III foot gauge
road with very little equipment.
After following the precipitous left
bank of the Kongo for little distance

Living Relatives Of Washinoton,


Many kindred of George Washing.
ton dwell on and about the original
Washington plantation in Westmore-
land county, Virginia. John Washing
ton Of Brighton parish, Northampton
shire, England, came to Virginia in
1857 and bought farm on the Poto-
mac river between Bridge creek and
Pope's creek, in what was then North
cumberland county, but which long,
long ago became Westmoreland coun-
Ity. He bought the farm from Col.
Pope, a great landholder in the early
colonial era, and whose daughter,
Anne. Pope, became the wife of the
immigrant John Washington. These
were the great grandparents of George
Washington the Great John Wash
ington. through his marriage to Anne
Pope, obtained lands outside of the
farm purchased by him. The original
farm is owned by John E. Wilson, who
married Miss Betty Washington,
granddaughter of William Augustine
washington, a nephew of George
Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are
advanced In years. A score or more
of Washingtons live on their ancestral
lands within rifle shot of the spot
where George Washington was born.
Some of these people, writes Guy E.
Mitchell in Technical World Magazine,
are prosperous farmers and profes-
sional men; others are not prosperous.
They are all plain and simple folk
who have the good will and respect of
their neighbors. A peculiar thing
about this family is that all its mem
bers have the distinctive Washington
features.

career, while the crown prince was
allowed to let his taste for the army
develop.
Prince Manuel, in his early teens,
was sent to the naval school at Lis
bon. where he showed a marked apti-.
tnde for maritime affairs. He be-
came q skilled yachtsman and owns
a fine sailing vessel which he manages
himself. The young prince was a
prominent figure in the most notable
OF the regattas along the Mediterran-
can, and last year he won the Kings
cup, offered by King Edward of Great
Britain In the yachting contests of
Marseilles.
Prince Manuel bears the title Of
duke of Beja as well as his hereditary
title Of duke of Saxon. He is the
owner of IA Christian names, by one

LACE scARFs FOR THE NECK.
Provide Protection for the Decorations
of the Throat.

One Of the dress difficulties of the
year is the discoloring of white neck
fixings by the black furs which are
so much worn: A silk or lace scarf
Of some kind, to protect the white col
lar or guimpe, Is almost a necessity.
Small silk lace scarfs can be had
in almost any size and quality for this
purpose, and the mousseline, crepe
and silk scarfs are also serviceable
Such a scarf is small, covering only
the back and sides of the collar, the
ends tucking inconspicuously down in
the coat front.
Knitted silk scarfs In pale colors
and white have come in this year for
this purpose. They have silk-fringed
ends and look very well, besides amply
protecting the spotlessness of the
throat decorations.

1t is well not to make faces at or
sighting remarks about persons who
look the part of foreigners. They may
be subjects of governments that are
touchy. Calling one of the least of
these harsh name or biting him
lightly on the ear may bring on inter-
national complications. Some Of the
governments that pay no attention to
their subjects when at home unless
they organize bread riots or ask in
low, polite voices for universal suf.
frage, get mighty touchy when the
subject has left them for country
that he thinks he will like better.
Then his liberty and pursuit of happi-
ness cause much tender solicitude.
They may step on him at home. but
over here they want his rights pro-
tected In three languages. Tears well
up in the eyes Of gentlemen whose
breasts look like pawnshop windows
by reason of their display of medals,
while secretly they wish we were so
small that they could lick us. How
ever. there may be more method In
their solicitude than would appear to
person up tree. If their wandering
boy doesn't get good job how can he
continue to send money to the old
folks and thus help to keep down the
poor rates?

In the annual report made by the
superintendent of prisons of New
York Is the suggestion that some per-
centage of the money earned by GRIM
inals be used by the state to support
the families Of these criminals who
may, by the imprisonment Of their
heads, be rendered destitute. Such
suggestion is good and practical. The
punishment Of the bread-winner is apt
to bring want upon the family, but IL
systematized distribution Of the
money is made In this manner one of
the problems met with in dealing with
the criminal classes will be effectively

channel would be the greatest stroke
toward the settlement of railroad rate
troubles in the great middle west.
Engineers reported that the Nilsson.
ri river, if improved according to the
plans of this convention, would have
the carrying capacity of 800 railroads
so times the capacity of all the roads
running between the Mississippi river
and the lower Missouri, and more than
70 times the capacity of all the rail.
roads running from the Mississippi to
the Missouri at all points.
These engineers reported that max.
ing the Missouri river navigable from
Sioux City to St. Louis would cost
less than paralleling any single rail.
road between these two points.
The navigable length of the Missouri
river is greater than the distance by
rail from st. Louis to San Francisco.
1t has navigable length three times
as great as the entire length of the
Ohio river.
