His doctor warned him against going
back farther north than Washington,
so he settled In this city and took up
newspaper work with one Of the cor.

While thus engaged he fitted himself
for a position, and was later made
private secretary to Commissioner
Leupp.
In his spare moments he made
systematic study OF the Indian bureau
and was soon thoroughly conversant
with its affairs. 1t was this special
knowledge that prompted Commis-

USEFUL White TAILOR MADES
Serge and BroadcIoth Costumes a
Necessity II One Is to Stay
Long at the Seashore.

If you are to be at the seashore for
any length of time you should have at
least one of your summer suits in
white serge, broadcloth or mohair, no
matter how unlimited your laundry
allowance may be. A sea breeze has
unpleasant and almost human pro
pensity for springing up just after
you've had your hair marcelled and
put on freshly starched frock.
If one is to spend the summer in
the mountains or the northern coast,
where one needs warmth as well as
salt-defying qualities in a serge dress,
1t is just as well to have some sort
of waist en- suite that leaves the
neck and arms cool, but gives one a
little extra warmth through the body.
I saw good looking dress of this
type in a Fifth avenue shop window
the other day. 1t was made in a
heavy cream-colored poplin, quite
severely plain, but beautifully cut and
tailored. The skirt had couple of
cores at the sides and rather wide
front and back panels that ran up in
to the waist and were cut QUE square
ly just below the bust and shoulder
and ran out to cover the seam of the
sleeve. ....
The oblong neck opening was decid-
edly deep at the front, where it ended
in wide-angled V, while at the back
1t was cut in shallow square. Filling
in the lower part of the neck opening
In front was a patch of the cloth heav-

Dnce more. The belt was a soft,
crushed thing of Paisley ribbon, and
the big button molds that trimmed
the front and back panels were Gov
cred with the same quaint-looking
silk. The dress was worn over
guimpe of white masquisette laid in
fine tucks in the neck and sleeve the

MEDAL FOR BRAVERY
TRIBUTE FROM NATION TO FIRE.
MAN LYNCH OF NEW YORK.
Saved Forty-Five Lives During Burn.
ing of the Excursion Boat Gen.
SIocum In New York Harkor
on June is, 1904.

New York.-None but a fireman can
understand with what pride Engineer
Patrick Lynch of the New York fire
department wears the gold medal pre-
sented to him by the congress of the
United States. 1t was a. tribute from
the nation in recognition of his BRAY
cry during the burning of the excur-
sion boat Gen. Slocum on June is,
1904, that Congressman Joseph A.
Golden pinned on Lynch's breast the
medal from congress.
The Slocum disaster was by no
means the first occasion when Lynch
risked his life in order to save that of
others. No so Cannon street was the
scene of one of his first heroic acts.
1t was on November IA, 1879, when
only private that Lynch rushed into
the burning building and tried to save
those within. He was so persistent
in his efforts that for eight months
afterward he lay in Bellevue hospital
suffering from the burns and smoke.
Through the 80 years that Lynch
has been member of the fire depart
ment his record has been punctuated
with acts of bravery, and he has never
had single charge marked against
his name. He has been to the hospital
three times, has been carried out of
fires as dead several times, and as for
being overcome by smoke, that Is
common occurrence.
The day of the Gen. Slocum dis
aster it happened to be Lynch's day
off duty. Being an able swimmer, he
was going for dip off East One Hun
dred and Forty-first street, when he
spied the steamer Gen. Slocum coming
upstream ablaze from stem to stern.
Il saw the sand schooner John T.
Russell tied up to the pier" said
Lynch in telling about it. Il rushed
aboard and was about to loosen one
of the boats, when a deckhand ran
up and threatened me. l convinced
him that l was a fireman and wanted
to try to save those on the burning
excursion boat. Only after this ex-
PLANTATION was permitted to use the
rowboat.

LUMBER DEALERS WIN
RAILROAD COMMISSION ORDERS
LOWER TARIFFS.
North Western and Milwaukee Roads
Must Put New Joint Rates
Into Effect.

MADISON, Wis, May S.-[Special. ]
The Wisconsin Lumber Dealers as
sociaton won practically a complete vic
tory in It's fight against the Chicago s,
North-W ,slern and c., NJ. & st. Paul
roads for joint rates, amounting to a de-
cided reduction in the present rates. The
railroad commission handed down a de
csion today ordering the two companies
involved to put in operation new
schedule of joint rates contained in the
decision.
Lumber dealers to the number Of 1T,
representing so per cent. Of the retail
lumber yards in Wisconsin, united in a
strong fight Attorney Mathison OF
GAINESVILLE, law partner TO Senator White
head, represented the dealers.
The system complained of was the
charging by the railroad companies of
a sum over the local rates for shipments
over a portion Of the lines Of the two
companies. The decision makes a severe
cut in rates and says the present rates
are unreasonable and results in reducing
the business.
George Price Of Crandon was granted
an overcharge Of $49.25 on a shipment
from Scofeld to Crandon. over the
Northwestern, the 500 and the St.
Paul roads.
The commission permitted the Slough
ton Electric Light and Power company
to increase Its present rates.
