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

Paris, June 13.-The fashion Of the d.
rectoire for women, the sheath gown,
with the skirt divided below the knee,
Is the established vogue for the time.
How long 1t will last, he would be a
daring prophet who would venture to
predict, for the fair Parisiennes change
their fashions as often a s they do THEM
minds.
With these striking gowns, which to-
day are an~achronistic, some women
who run to extremes of any mode, are
wearing Merry Widow hats OF equal
circumference with an umbrella, and
most g~orgeously 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 than out Of
the style, are in despair.
Som Of these r 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 q 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

There were many.
Mrs. Astor's Moulded Gown.
London, June 13.-Mrs. ]. ]. Aastor wore
the EXTREMIST type of d%irectoire 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 1t. 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
or 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 k~eadgear. At the
Derby she was with Mrs. Waldorf Aston
and Lady Alaistair Innes-Kerr.

Phe was chaperoned by Mrs. Whitelaw

and was considered remarkably good look
ing. Her dress. white satin, en- princess,
fitted her like a %scabbard, the tight eff
feet ending to lengthen her tall figure. As

TORPEDO INJURIES
MONITOR FLORIDA

Fort Monroe, Va, June 16.-Secre-
taries Taft and Metcalf and Postmas-
ter General Meyer arrived here early
today on the Mayfiower to witness the
firing of an American white head tor
pedo. charged with 22O pounds of gun
cotton, into the monitor Florida.
The trial was satisfactory. The ship
was seriously, but not vitality. dam
aged. The injury done is said to be
largely localized. Further tests are
unnecessary.
The Florida was fortified with a wa
ter tight bulk head specially con-
structed and designed to represent ac-
tual war conditions. The object sought
was to determine whether this form Of
bulk head with which, If formidable, all
modern American ships will probably
be provided, can successfully Withstand
the force of the explosive contained in
the torpedo, or in default of that
whether the effect Of the charge will be
to scatter destruction far and wide and
possibly sink the ship. The torpedo
was fired at the Florida from q dis
lance of approximately 400 feet in an
almost horizontal line.
The scene was most spectacular as
the torpedo hit the vessel just about
midships, four feet below the water
line. A great column Of water 200 feet
in height and q hundred feet in width
shot into the air. The torpedo, guided
by a trolley, struck squarely at the
point marked and penetrated the dou-
BILE bottom and the coal bunker, form
ing the part OF the compartment at
licked. Pumps Immediately were set
at work, and preparations were made
TO tow the vessel to the navy yard for
dry docking.
A crew of about 30 men and Admiral
Mason and other officials were aboard
the Monitor when the torpedo tore into
the hull. The effect Of the explosion
was practically the same as when the
shell was fired at the Monitors turret

FRIENDS To AID
MAN ONCE RICH
Old Time Acquaintance Save
g. j. l.. Meyer From
Poorhouse.

Chicago, June 3.-Men who knew G. T.
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
MI. Meyer, among the first to offer as
sistance being two former conductors on
the Northwestern o who remembered
kindnesses shown them by the roads
first president.
1t seems that Mr.. Meyer was In a char
ity home a year g 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-
NAMED 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., Never RI
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. Ny father
started a concern in Chicago and one In
Hermanville. Wis. Tn Chicago concern
failed through some dishonest transac-
tons, leaving me, one Of the partners, pen
niless. The HermanVille concern has
prospered. Mrs. GeorgeW Earle, OF Her.
manville, and Mrs. Henry w. Moore, OF
Fond du Lac. my fathers daughters. are
interested in 1t and he thinks that they
should take care of him"

PACKING PLANT IS
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Nelson Morris Plant Suffers a
Loss of $250,000 by
Flames.

crossed 30 far that 1t was feared the
entire structure would be destroyed.
The fire was brought under control
at 1880 o'clock with a loss estimated
at $250,000. The fire was confined to
the cold storage building and meat
house, which were destroyed.
The fire was caused by two explo-
sions. The first was OF sewer gas,
which followed the lighting by a work.
nan Of a match in the cold storage de-
partment. A serious explosion
then occurred when q quantity OF am
monia ignited.
There were 80 men In the plant when
the explosion occurred, but all escaped
except four. Two were instantly killed
and two badly mangled.
The plant is in the flood district, and
Is entirely surrounded by water.
The flames in the packing house
spread rapidly. Because Of the food,
Sfiremen are unable to reach nearer than
itwo blocks from the building, with
their apparatus. Aid vas asked Of the
Missouri side, but the engines from
there could not get across the flooded
district.
The sausage department was the
first to 80. Telephone communication
with h scene Is impossible. Wire
service has been destroyed by the
food. n

Marsh, Of Brooklyn. Although he was UNI

he makes them known through an official
source, he save they are most encourage

since its discovery In 1885 until now, full
Immunity Is not reached until nearly five
weeks after the first injection Is given.
the treatment lasting a minimum of ID
days now. In cases Of severe bites on the
face the diseases may develop In three
weeks or even less. 3
I DR.. Marie has. succeeded In obtaining
from sheep which had been immunized
against rabies a serum which, when mixed
in certain portions with fresh virus OF
rabies, renders the latter innocuous when
Injected into animals and human beings
This mixture Of virus n serum permits
the beginning Of the Pasteur treatment
with a material which secures Immunity
much quicker than when the ordinary
method Is used. II IL precisely what has
been needed for severe cases and the re-
suits obtained within the last two years
have amply fulfilled DR.. Marie's hopes. !,
Furthermore the new form Of treatment
will be of great practical value In immun|
Iizing dogs, inasmuch as two injections
rapidly immunize a dog against rabies, and
this immunity lasts for a year or more.
THE new method will be introduced In III
