TO APPEAL PROMPTLY.
4ttorneu General VIII 4ct-Com-
-merce Commission Surprised.

Washington Sept. 10-The decision rendered this
afternoon In Philadelphia declaring unconstitutional
the commodity clause of the Hepburn act caused
much surprise and disappointment at the Interstate
Commerce Commission. None of the officials Oh
that body have for a moment doubted that the pow
rs given the federal government by that clause are
well within the limits of the Constitution and whe
no criticism of the decision made public ex-
pressions of hope heard on every side that the
decision aimed at some minor defect IN the
act and not in the intent of the act itself.
Commissioner Judson Clements made no effort
TO conceal his disappointment, and said:
AS have not yet read the decision, can make
no comment on it other than TO express my regret
that the commodity clause by which we expected
to accomplish SO much has been declared nncon md
that with a few alterations in the clause it can
unconstitutional in some minor details. this de-
cision will prove only slight handicap, and after
If the decision holds that it is unconstitutional
for the to des tbef of COMMON
carriers, am inclined to believe that great eyil
that some legislation along the line of the Hep
burn clause is absolutely necessary and should be
sorry if the courts construe the Constitution SO as
TO prevent it
That an appeal doubtless will be taken within
the next sixty days directly TO the Supreme Court
OF the United States from to-days decision of the
United States Circuit Court at Philadelphia declar-
ing unconstitutional the commodities clause OF the
Hepburn act the statement OF Acting Attorney
General Russell to-day.
oyster Bay, Sept 1o-While Attorney General
Charles ]. Bonaparte in conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill this afternoon the
report Of the decision carried to them and
they Immediately took up the matter. After the
discussion they came TO the conclusion that the
Department of Justice should take appeal from
the decision rendered by the Circuit Court
Mr.. Bonaparte, he departing for New
York at p m. asked whether he had any
statement to make regarding the decision the
court. He replied that he had none except that
he would Immediately take steps to appeal from
the decision. He would say nothing about what
the President had said in regard to the decision.

AUTO BREAKS INTO A HOUSE.
Hits Cow, and, Veering, Jams Into the
Parlor Of a Jersey Farmer.

Trenton, N. J.-While returning
from Spring lake to Trenton a heavy
touring car owned by Karl G. Roebling
crashed into the farm house of w. ].
Chinnick and wrecked several pieces
Of furniture in the parlor. The &C.
cupants of the a were Mr.. and Mrs.
Karl G. Roebling, Miss Emily Roebling
and the driver, John Roupp. The lat
ter was the only one injured. He was
cut over the eye.
The accident was due to a combina-
ton of circumstances. About a hun
dred feet from the Chinnick farmhouse
the party encountered a herd of cows
being driven to a slaughter house. The
driver turned aside for one animal and
found another directly In the path of
the f%ast-going car. The second COW
was struck, and the compact turned
the steering gear and headed the a
directly for the house. 1t passed
through a thick hedge between two
oak trees and didn't stop until the
front part had been jammed into the
parlor of the house.
The party was driven to this city.
and it took a force Of men and two
automobiles several hours to drag the
car out of the house. 1t was badly
damaged.

PICTURES FOR DINING ROOM.
Floral Subjects and Dainty, Refreshing
Scenes Most Appropriate.

Dining room pictures are limited as
to subject If one is to choose accord
ing to the accepted standards. The
modern man and woman of good taste
are fastidious about the company they
dine with, and they prefer no pictures
at all to inappropriate ones. Floral
subjects are suited to dining room
walls and dainty, refreshing scenes
are appropriate. Figures fit better
into other rooms.
French prints in delicate colorings
are favorite pictures for bedrooms.
They are dainty in subject and tone
and look well in white, gold, pale
gray or any light-tinted frame. For
some time nov women have been buy
ing up French prints at auctions and
in the shops to be later hung in their
country homes. The prints are not ok
pensive and they are perfect for
rooms belonging to the sex they usu-
ally portray. Etchings and photo
gravures are the next choice for bed
DON walls. The list of subjects in
this line is so varied and so long that
al loolSS II IoilSlCo q NC ulltd
The average hall is too small to
suggest a background for pictures, yet
where there is space pictures can be
hung on the slanting walls with a
charming effect. Colored or brown
prints Of uniform size and set in a
uniform molding may be arranged in
an ascending line parallel with the
stairway. Often pictures are hung in
this way so close together hat the
edges almost touch. Hunting scenes
and quaint old prints are suited to
hall walls. The walls opposite the
stairs may be decorated with a few
larger pictures of the same style and
framed in the same way as the small
er ones. A higgledy-piggledy arrange
ment is never in good taste In any
room. There must be a recognized
regularity about the hanging If the
result is to be at all satisfactory.
Photographs are now hung only in
the bedroom or the boudoir. A group
of ones relatives and close friends
may occupy a large space on one
wall. There may be a dozen or more
single pictures framed in small ovals,
circles, squares and grouped together
artistically. French frames. showing
an elaborate ~festooning in gold across
the top of the picture, are exquisite
for photographs. These may be hung
separately to give the effect of medal
lions against the delicate wall o "
ering.

EMBROIDERY FOR THE DRESS.
Wearer Now Puts the Finishing
Touches on Costume.

Hand embroidery is quite the most
desirable trimming one may have, no
matter what the costume may be,
and n Of the very latest ideas is to
have the dress made up by the dress
maker, and when it is finished the
wearer puts in her idle moments dec
Grating it in plain but very conspicu-
Gus stitches. 1t was thus that an eton
dress was made, the under-blouse Of
filet net. The jacket effect of Copen-
hagen blue pongee was embroidered
in big flowers, one overlapping the
other, so that it gave the effect of a
huge and artistic bouquet and also a
great deal OF embroidery, while in
reality there was very little. The
petals were embroidered in the long
and short stitch finished all round in
a buttonhole stitch, while the inside
of the flowers were finished in French
knots.
The floss was exactly the same
shade as the dress itself, and was Of
the coarsest silk fiber, so that it took
not very many stitches to finish the
work, and each stitch showed to the
best advantage.
The same idea IS frequently carried
out in jumper dresses and guimpe
frocks, and it is surprising how little
embroidery it takes to give the gown
that distinctive stamp of elegance that
hand embroidery always adds.

Investment of Surplus Cash.

1t appears that any legitimate mon
ey-making proposition need not seek
to sell its stock among the people all
over the land. There is always ample
capital securable for sound enterpris-
IS that will pay even five or six per
cent. on the investment. 1t is we'll to
beware Of the companies that adver-
tise their stocks for sale with the
promise of a rapid advance in values,
and large dividends. II there were a
certainty Of these accomplishments
1t would not be necessary for the pro-
moters to go beyond the first good
banking institution in their way to
secure all the funds necessary to
carry on the business.

WHAT FOLK CONSUME.
Business Always Regulated by ths
Wants of the People.

1t is an established principle that
the consuming capacity of the people
averages just so much year after year,
and fuctuates according to business
and financial conditions. AS new
things are brought into use, perhaps
the per capita expense of living in
creases and becomes adjusted to
changed conditions. Then 1t is rea-
sonable to believe that so far as the
consuming capacity of the United
States is concerned it will grow
according to the increase in popula-
ton, and the educated tastes of the
people.
Whether conditions that have been
found practical and afford an equitable
compensation to all engaged in trade
are to be continued, or whether the
tradesman known as the retailer Is
to be cut out Of the game and the
people supplied directly through the
manufacturer and his direct represen-
tative is an important question. One
of the systems that is far reaching in
it's baneful effects is the mail-order
system. About so per cent. of the
people of the United States live in
agricultural sections. 1t is from these
agricultural districts that the mail
order houses draw the trade, not from
the cities. The question is whether
it is best for the masses that these
mammoth houses in the large cities
drive the small merchants out of bust
ness or not? Is it to the advantage
of the manufacturers and the jobbers
that the large houses continue to
grow? The existence of these houses
has nothing to do with the consuming
power of the people. Their existence
does not increase trade an iota. Why,
then, should the people p%atronize
them, and why should manufacturers
and jobbers give them support by
supplying them with goods? 1t may
be that a charge of discrimination
would be made against concerns that re-
fused to sell. The catalogue house
should not have any advantage over
the dealer in the small town, and soon
the masses would discover that there
was nothing to be gained by p~atroniZ.
ing the distant houses.

The Newest Embroiderjes.

not merely leaves and flowers, but
scroll patterns. This form of decora-
ton is so pronounced that it Is done in
the color of the material upon which it
is worked or in shades Of the same
color. 1t is rich and also expensive.

GIRL ACQUITTED OF "BATHlNe.u
Judge Decides She Did Not Shock
Her Neighbours.

Alton, Ill.-Did Marie Tisius take
a bath in Mrs. Randolph Smiths
kitchen?
That was the question presented to
7~0-year-old Justice Ford in Upper Al
ton. If she did take a bath there with
the kitchen window open, was she
guilty of disturbing the peace of Mr..
and Mrs. Herman Herrin, a young
couple and next-door %neighbors? That
was another question presented by the
testimony of the Herrins.
Mr.. Herrin said he observed Miss
Tisius during her additions and saw a
narrow towel hanging about her
slender and graceful neck. Mrs. Her
rim startled the court by declaring she
called her husband to join in witness
ing the nearby production of Psyche
at the Pool"
Miss Tisius, who is only 20 years
old, declared she was surprised at the
Herrins' horrid statement.
Il never wash anything in the kitch-
en- except Dishes" she asserted. with
an angry toss of her pretty head.
The court stopped laughter by stern
ly announcing he was not conducting
q vaudeville show.
After bordering over the fact that
the alleged open-window bathing took
place in the cold days of mid-January,
and that Mrs. Herrin called her hus-
band to view the sight, he discharged
the fair and blushing defendant.

Factors in

Quite often the statement is made
that the revolutionary methods of the
present time mean the cutting out Of
the middleman. There seems, upon
only a superficial examination and
study, that this may be true. But
when there is a most careful analy.
sis made of conditions, it looks plain
that there a be no system that man
can devise that will take the place Of
the middleman. Methods may change.
Even the character and the work of
Che middleman, the distributor, may
change, but there will always be a
place for him. He would be a thing
Of the past long ago if a more econom-
ical mean could be found for the gen.
eral distribution of products. He is
the handy nan of commerce. He can
not be we'll relegated to the junk
heap. He is here to stay, and will
stay as long as the wheels Of COM
mere and progress turn.
