Then the sound of a scufie and
again the tapping of the hammer.
After several minutes more of this
there was a whispered dialogue which
/ could not hear.
Whatever was occurring two or
three points struck me on the instant.
One OF the eonspirators was an unwill-
ing party to an act as yet unknown;
second, they had been unsuccessful
and must wait for another opportu-
nifty; and third, the business, whatever

Beauty in the Russell Tones
of Autumn Foliage

There is an extreme beauty in the
tones of old gold shown in satins and
velvets as the divers shades of orange
yellows, some of deeper tone than
others, together with the banana shade
in paler tints, and the yellow russell
tones seen in autumn foliage. These
colors in gowns or wraps are extreme
grande mode and handled with the ut
most skill by the able makers of the
day. They are kept usually undis-
turbed from color contrasts, but there
are often introduced harmonious
shades in self tones of embroidery,
mings. The paler colors of yellow
stand an admixture of white. For
evening wear nothing can be more be-
witching for blondes or brunettes.
A dinner gown of this golden shade
in rich and clinging satin was worn
at big dinner of welcome to an Octo-
Der bride on her return from Hot
Springs. The long skirt was trimmed
by deep bottom fold of satin only,
which rose to an Empire height with
utmost grace of line. A prettily man.
aged drapery of the satin in front was
used as a setting for the short-waisted
corsage, which was a mass of soft
floss embroidery in self tones, while the
lace tucker above was dyed in the
same tone, but lifted into a paler
shade. In like manner was the sleeve
lace treated under a Japanese line of
loose sleeve arm opening. Such gowns
depend upon and require the wearing
of magnificent jewels. No possible
beauty of trimming will replace them,
while it must not be forgotten that
such jewels never look so fifty worn
or show to such advantage as upon
gowns of this distinction of style

While the car was standing all BY
itself employees eating in the car barns
noticed peculiar electric disturbance
in the air, and could hear also
strange sound, half moan, half boot
unlike any sound they had ever heard
before. One man wanted to go out and
laughed at him and told him tho
sound was merely the ordinary noise
of trolley spool on a wire. Prob
ably the spool was stiff, they said.
Just then a hatless man dashed to
the door and cried that the car that
had been standing outside was moving
away on It's own account, with its troll
ley pole two feet short of the wire.
The laughing men left their food and
hurried out in time to see the car
rapidly disappearing.
Although the cars trolley pole was
way short of the wire, 1t was splitting
showers of sparks. Some of the men
declared positively that O distinct
sulphurous smell filed the air.
The car was away two hours. In
that time 1t was seen by hundreds OF
persons. It ran the full length of the
trip to Hackensack, doubled the troll
ley there. and came back to the East
Rutherford barn, where It started.
Then it stopped of its own accord.
One man who had followed it in an
automobile, declares the car invariably
slowed down when in danger of over
taking q car ahead. Since none of the
persons who met it knew anything
about trolley cars no one dared to
board 1t.
Expert electricians who examined
the car after Its return to the barn
were unable to find anything wrong
with 1t. The whole occurrence is q pro
found mystery.

Such a Defeat and the Score
Shows UP Ninety
to Eight.

The first basketball game of the
season was played last night, the con-
test ending in an overwhelming vic
tory for Hammond. the score being 80
to s. Right from the start Hammond
started in the contest with a vim and
played Hobart right off their feet. The
ball was in Hammond's territory near
ly all of the time and basket after
basket was made Hobart tried hard
to break up the different plays, but OF
no avail, for they could secure only two
field baskets the first half. The first
half ended with a score of 43 to 4.
In the second half Murray took
Ebert's place at center and Whitaker
took Kennedys at forward. Hammond
Istarted right in, determined to roll up
as large a score as possible. Every
body was playing the game as the final
score shows Hobart was totally I'M
able to stop Hammond's scoring ma

was only able to score more points,
one being a field basket and the other
two fouls Hammond piled up more

LITTLE HOPE
FOR CUP RACE

New York, Dec. 23.--It seems prac-
tically certain that there will be no in
ternational cup race. next year mas
much as the time limit surrounding the
deed of gift has practically expired. It
is stipulated in the deed that at least
ten months notice of a challenge be
given while no race shall be held be-
tween Nov. 1 and May /. This would
make it necessary for the New York
Yacht club to receive a challenge be-
fore the end of this month, which Is
considered so improbable in yachting
circles that the belief of no race in
1909 has become an accepted fact
The reason that there will be no in
ternational race during the coming
year is attributed principally to the
failure of the New York Yacht club to
agree to certain changes In the rules
governing the construction of boats,
which have been suggested from time
to time by Sir Thomas Upton. who
stood ready to challenge If such
changes were agreed upon
