Our citizens are pestered with pre-
vailing outrage one which should be
restrained and prevented by the proper
authorities as once We refer to the
general liberty which all kinds of stock
have to roam the streets. Nearly every

unlimited amount of damage. They not

Fifty Years Ago.

We are sorry to learn that our public
schools are to be closed this week until
sometime in September. Notwithstand-
ing the sneers of few who are too rich
or too proud to send their children to
any but private school, we believe
that our public schools have been as
efficient, successfu and well-conducted
as any that can be found. The teachers
are well qualified and faithful, and we
take pleasure in bearing witness to their
capacity and high character as citizens.
An association of the hunters and
sportsmen of this city has been formed
for the purpose of enforcing the exist
ing law in relation to the shooting of
game. We understand it to be the in
tention to prosecute t. the extent of
the law every offender.
The concert on Wednesday evening
last was as usual success. 1t was a
new evidence of the progress of musi-
cal culture among our own citizens. We
may particularly mention the perform
ance of the young Misses Augusta Eat
on and Clara Cobb. whose elasticity and
strength of touch was far in advance Of
their gears.
Business has been duller than usual the
past week. from the necessity of hoeing
and blowing corn. No rush in the way
of trade can be expected now until after
harvest, which from present indications
will be bountiful one.

Roll Call After the Fourth.

Reginald Grant, the principal read.
"Herel" was the answer, loud and
clear.
Reginald Grant had lost an ear,
But stood in the line with bandaged head.
Andrew Blakep then silence fell:
Many an eye had watched him sail,
Clinging fast to the rockets tail.
Had he alighted? None could tell.
There they stood, in the morning sun,
Lads who answered the call by turns.
Marked with poultices, scars and
burns;
Another Glorious Fourth was done.
A cottage and barn were blackened
Goals;
The shreds of crackers were every
where;
An odor Of rhinestone filled the air,
And coats and trousers were full of holes.
Herbert Petersw voice said low,
Herbert Peters was standing near
When the cannon burst; and the doc
tors fear
He won't be up for month or so.
Harold Judd and his brother, Tom,
Found their places with hating tread.
William Cabot was home in bed.
Badly scorched by sudden bomb.
Endicott Milikin lacked thumb
A pistol had taken him by surprise.
Sparks from pinwheel had scared
the eyes
OF Anthony Colins--he could not come.
Look at the record! Year by year
Powder and Folly take their toll,
Adding names to mournful roll
IT'S Glorious Fourth but it costs us
dear!-Life.

Gorgeous Wraps Of

The Dog Muff Will Make His Bow.
One of the funniest dress fads that
has ever possessed femininity is the dog
muff. which Is absurdiy and pitifully like
a pet canine too sick to lift his head
lift his limp legs. The dog muff is made
of a long haired pelt, preferably one of
the foxes, and legs. brush and head are
attached in the appropriate places. The
arm is slipped through the body of the
muf or it is carried carelessly over the
arm. the head pointing forward and hind
legs and tall hanging pathetfcally down
behind.
The pointed foxes. with their feathery
sprinkling of white on dark pelt, and
the newly favored fisher are the most
fashionable furs: though lynx bids fair to
retain much of the popularity and the
pretty gray and blue fox will be worn by
those who appreciate the becomingness
and beauty of this soft fur.
Skunk is a plebeian pelt which has been
lifted to high favor this season-possibly
because it is so like yet so much cheaper
than the almost prohibitfve sables. An
afternoon carriage coat which will appear
at the Horse Show is illustrated. This
coat is broadtail model with the new
low opening and u huge collar and border
of skunk fur. Ermine is to be very fash
iorable this season, but will be used al
most entirely as an evening fur, the
spotted, or tailless ermine being the
choicest sort just now.

such shoes are worn all winter long with

Horse show Week Opens the Win
ter Season.
The horse show has been for many
years the first important gathering of the
clans in Manhattan. Town houses are
opened about this time, and from their
country places In Westchester, Tuxedo
and out on Long Island the smart set re-
turns to take up the round of winter
gaieties which will continue until the be-
ginning Of lent calls them away to Palm
Beach and the Carolina pine woods.
The most important social event before
the horse show is the Halloween ball at
Tuxedo Here the debutantes are trotted
out for an informal first glimpse at the
social Joys to come, the formal teas and
dinner dances which will celebrate their
full-fedged appearance In society being
scheduled to take place Immediately after
horse show week is over. During this
week fashions for the Forthcoming sea-
son in America are settled. The Dress

~ RESSMAKERS, always w!Iilns to
lend helping hand to their close
allies, the shopkeepers, have been
displaying, along with the new
Louis XIV. and XVI. costumes
supposed to be exactly tho style of foot
wear worn in the d. OF the inconse-
quent Louises. These long-vamped shoes
and slippers come IN all sorts OF rich bro
cades, in embroidered and beaded satin
and even in velvet-the latest slipper ma
terial-and usually there is an enormous
buckle of rhinestone or hand-wrought
metal set below high tongue on the
instep.
1t is quite safe to predict, however, that
these typically Louis XIV. shoes will never
obtain an excessive popularity, for one
thing there is that womankind will not
do In the interest of fashion, and that
is, make her feet look ungainly; and the
Louis shoe with its exaggerated length of
toe and its stubby square cut across the
end is anything but pretty on the feet.
Nearly all the new slippers and low
shoes for more dressy wear show tongue
Of leather rising over the instep above q
pert bow or buckle. and these bow and
buckle ornaments are kept very fat and
close to the shoe, so as not to destroy the
graceful arch of the instep. The full ro-
settle is always clumsy on the feet, unless
very short skirt allows the slender an
kIes to show above the slipper and gives
q coquettish look to the rosetted foot
wear.

fashioned with a short skirt swinging
clear of the ground, and with knee
length coat opening low at one side of
the front and trimmed very simply with
facings of MORE silk or panne velvet
cuffs and collar and slanting pocket open
ings at the hip.
The ultra smart tailored wear Is always
rather simple in style, and your exclusive
custom tailor regards with disfavor fancy
buttons elaborate braidings and the like;
such garniture, in his opinion, being best
suited to the woman past the age when
supremely simple lines do best credit to
a pretty figure.
Furs Make An Appearance Horse
Show Week.
With this natty tailored suit the most
luxurious furs will be worn. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars are represented in
furs at every session of the show. and
while the women in the boxes sit In light
weight gowns with their wraps thrown
over the chair backs. those on the PRONE
made are laden down with huge mufrs and
stoles, as though the big Garden were
not heated to tropical temperature.
A veritable North Pole maid is the 1909
girl to be for-sad though the news may
be to the slender pocketbooked-fur gar
ments are bigger than ever and proper
tionately more costly. Huge barrel muffs
are matched by stoles and shawl collars
