ALWAYS IN SOFT MATERIALS.
The Only Things Appropriate for the
Baby Dress with Its Hand
Embroidery.

If the baby dress is not made of the
finest of handkerchief linen French
nainsook or a very fine batiste is
chosen. These are the soft materials
soft as well as sheer.
They are the materials on which
embroidery is done most successfully,
and the baby's dress de luxe is always
hand-embroidered. There seems to
be little excuse for treating 1t any
other way. 1t may have on 1t the
merest touch of handwork-indeed.

INCOME TAX IS DEAD
TAX ON CORPORATE EARNINGS
WILL BE SUBSTITUTED.
Cummins and Bailey Break-Demo-
Gratis Jealous of the Part the
Part Bailey Has Played.

Washington.-The income tax is dead
so far as this congress goes. Instead
there is forecasted the Taft plan of a 2
per cent levy upon the net income of
corporations. Senator Aldrich said that
the latter will pass, and there is not
any doubt about it. The president also
received assurances to the same effect.
Taft, it is said, is at last using the
whip. He has had more than one in
surgent senator to see him, and there
will be several more summoned.
The rumor is that the combination
presumably existing heretofore between
Cummins and Bailey is broken. Be-
hind this story there are interesting in
cidents. Jealousy plays an important
part.
Two senators Of opposite political par
ties, high in the councils of their organi-
cations, said Tuesday that if a vote
could have been had ON either the Bailey
or the Cummins amendments providing
for an income tax five days ago, it
would have passed.

POWER PLANT EXPLODES.
Two Hundred-Ton Boiler Hurled
Through the Roof.

L W. 1uuoI Nh DoAAOA
Through the Roof.
Denver, Col.-Six are known to be
dead and it is thought more are buried
underneath the tons of debris as a re-
suit of the explosion of a boiler at
the power station of the Denver Gas
& Electric Company.
Hundreds of men who were attracted
to the scene by the sound of the ter
rife explosion are now frantically dig
ging into the debris of the power plant,
bent upon the rescue of the power COM
pany employees who are supposed to
still be under the ruins.
Among the first of the dead bodies to
be dug out of the ruins was that OF
Joseph PERI, Z years old. The boy was
playing in an alley behind the plant
when the explosion occurred, and was
completely buried by brick and iron. The
explosion was caused by the bursting of
a 2O0-ton boiler, which was thrown
through the roof of the building into
the air. The entire boiler room section
of the plant was demolished and all
electrical power was cut off from the
city.
1t is not known how many men were
at work in the plant at the time of the
accident, but it is thought there were
at least seventy-ive.

DEFACED MANY MAIL BOXES
Woman Arrested for Unique Ofense
at Louisville.

Louisville, Ky.-Scarcely paralleled in
the history of the postoffice department
of the United States is the case of Miss
Frances Konz, who was taken into GUS
tody by Postoffice Inspector Susong on
a charge of defacing mail boxes and
mail by the use of filth.
For more than two months Mr.. SUI
song, assisted by thirty men of the post
office department and by twenty-five or
more detectives and patrolmen, has
sought the perpetrator of the crimes,
which number scores and scores of de-
faced mail boxes.
With a description of a woman given
him Inspector Susong late Friday night
recognized Miss Konz, and he followed
her. She went to a mail box and with
a can poured a quantity of filth into the
mail receptacle.
Each time after a mail box was de-
faced by pouring the filth into it, the
mail therein was unfit for distribution.

CHILD SPANKED; KILLS SELF
Five-Year-Old Boy Carries Out
Threat Made to Mother.

Owensboro, Ky.-"Mamma, If you
whip me 1 will jump in the WE'LL" This
was the statement of a 5-year-old son OF
Mrs. Samuel Scott when his mother
reprimanded him for a childish prank.
The mother thought the boy was merely
Joking, and administered the promised
spanking.
Sobbing and crying, the little fellow
fled from the room. In a few seconds
the mother was startled by a scream
from her son. Suddenly remembering
his threat, she went to the well. At
the bottom she could see his golden
curls floating on the water. He had
carried out his threat.
The body was recovered while the
mother swooned away. 1t was found
that there was a cash on the child's
head which struck as he jumped into
the well and caused him to scream.
His neck was also broken.

In country houses it is becoming

Use Of Slips.

Corset covers and chemises are cut
low and lingerie waists are of the
sheerest materials. Wherefore some

she discovered in the act of trying to

taken into custody, and Mrs. Young filed
a charge of attempted assault against
him. The man is terribly cut.

NEW BUNKER HILL BATTLE
Injured Almost as Numerous as
During Celebration.

Boston.-The list of injured in the
Bunker Hill celebration Thursday rival
ed that of the actual battle 1874 years

time to state the price paid. The re-

in May $116,055,903, an increase of $780,
O13,275 over the imports of May, 1908.
