I In picking a school suit for a boy, consider durability and fit and appearance. Those three features, if rightly combined, will make the right sort of a school suit.
 In Rowland Double-ser- vice suits they are rightly put together. And thus it is that Double-service suits have, in a single year,won an amazing number of friends 'mongst boys and their mothers.
 Double-service suits are of the best and the snappiest styles. They are made care fully. They fit as a suit ought to fit. They are firm ly sewed at the seams, are stitched so they hold their shape. And each suit has two pairs of trousers in Knickencut and made with a lining throughout. Those two pairs of trousers practi- cally double the life of each suit; that's why they are de- servedly named Double-ser- vice suits.
 Now ready; some attrac- tive blue serges and fancy mixtures
 Other school needs for boys:
 Russian and sailor suits for little fellows just starting at school. Sizes to 10 years. Made of red brown or blue serge. Nicely finished and very attractive. $3 to $6.
 Trousers of corduroy serge and fancy mixtures, cut on good full lines and on we'll fitting models,- s,-50c to $1.75.
 Caps of many colors in Eton and golf shapes, some of leather,-25c and 45c.

EARTH ALMOST
 SWALLOWS BOYTON
Fire 50 pounds of Dynamite at Bottom of 275 Foot
 Well

Death by being almost buried alive is what stared Captain Paul Boyton at Steeplechase Island yesterday after noon, but the presence of his son. Joseph. and William OConnell, detec- tive. at the island saved him. The Bridgeport Artesian Well company some time ago started to construct a well on the island. At 275 feet tho work was abandoned. Yesterday Cap tain Boyton conceived the idea that if g. charge of dynamite was placed at the bottom of the PTS foot length of pipe. the blast which would result would further penetrate the ground, and probably produce fresh water A 50 pound charge was used, and a con- nection made by electricity at the top of the pipe. With a deafening report the charge went off. The earth seem ed to give away. and Captain, Boyton, who had fired the charge was sucked into the ground. His cries for help were heard by his son and MT. OCon- nell. The earth was still sinking and was moving under their feet. Cap tain Boyton was covered above the waist line. and still sinking as if in quick sand. Holding out his hands to his rescuers, who themselves were being drawn into the earth. he was pulled out and standing safe by, watch ed the sand still fall into the pit from which he had been taken.

PRETTY DECORATIONS.
Christian Church Missionary
Rally Most Successful
Meeting.

The Foreign Missionary Rally at
the Ninth Street Christian church
Thursday was the most remarkable
of the succession of such annual
meetings in this church which has
extended now through a considera.
BILE period of years. The gatherings
which attracted most attention were
those of the evening. At $40 p. m.
about seventy representative men of
the church sat down together at
luncheon in the Sunday school audi
forum. The tables were arranged
in the form Of a star. At the center
of the scheme was a round table at
which were seated the speakers of
the occasion. The other tables,
twelve in number, were arranged so
as to make the points of the star.
The decorations were potted plants
and cut flowers and the flag of the
nation. Addresses were made to
the men after the repast as they still
sat at table by Rev. Messrs. Corey,
Adams and Hagin and Mr.. Geo. P.
Street, Of EIkton. The addresses
were of great practical force and
happily expressed.
At 8. p. m. the moving picture ex-
hibition began. From first to last it
was full of interest to the great au-
dience which had assembled to wit
ness it. The lecture was given by
Mr. Corey, assisted by Mr.. Adams.
The meetings of the morning and
afternoon were well attended and
very profitable.

ZELAYA RESPONSIBLE.
Marines Enroute to Protect
American Lives and
Properties.

Washington, Dec. 3.---There is re.
joicing in the ranks of the Nicara-
guam insurrectionary party and cor
responding gloom among those who
have been friends of President Ze.
laya. The cause is the ultimatum
handed down by the United States
to the Nicarauguan government and
is contained in the note which ac-
companied the passports delivered
by Secretary Of State Knox to Felipe
Rodriguez, Charge d'Affaires Of the
Nicaraguan Legation.
The strength of the note and its
personal tone are the subjects of
much comment in diplomatic circles.
1t is generally recognized that the
United States has decided the time
has come to put an end to further
attacks on American life and inter
ests in Central America.
The far-reaching effect of the note
is a matter of especial comment. The
fact that President Zelaya is appar-
emily to be held responsible for the
murder, so called, of the two Amer
leans, Groce and Cannon, and that
the note intimates that Zelaya is the
culprit, put sting to the situation.
Almost feverish interest in the next
step of this government is manifest
ed.
The most aggressive step yet ia
ken by the United States looking
towards the protection of American
lives and American interests in Mic
aragua was executed to-day when
the protected cruiser Albany and the
gunboat Yorktown were ordered to
proceed at full speed from Magdale-
ma Bay to Corinto, on the Pacific
coast of Nicaragua. The gunboat
Vicksburg already is riding the wa
tiers in the harbor at Corinto and the
gunboat Princeton is on her way
from Bremerton Navy Yard, Wash
ington, for the same port.
In addition, the transport Buffalo,
according to what is SAID to be the
plans of officials responsible, will
sail from Panama for Corinto with
probably as many as LOO marines
aboard soon after the Prairie. which
is under orders to leave Philadelphia
this afternoon with about 700 ma
rines, arrives at Colon.
The concentration of the four war
ships, together with the Buffalo with
all her marines. at Corinto is taken
to indicate the determination of the
officials here to meet any call on
them for the protection of American
citizens. On the Albany are about
28O bluejackets and on the Vicks-
burg, Yorktown and Princeton about
$50 each. These, together with the
marines, would make an army equal
to the organization reported as serv-
ing under Zelaya At the same time
the United States will have a formi- |
dable force within striking distance
of the Atlantic coast in case of dan
ger to American lives or property in |
that section of Nicaragua. At Port |
Lmon, Costa Rica, are anchored the
cruisers Des Moines and Tacoma,
each with 2S0 men aboard, and the
gunboard Marietta with $50 men.
