MIDDLE AGE COSTUMES
Harking Back To Days Of Romance
For Women's Gear.

CHICAGO, March TO- Women
Of fashion do not live in vain. Their
sartorial creations endure through the
ages even as the inspired works Of
poets and philosophers and sculptors
endure. Their brilliancy is not as
short lived as scoffing cynies make it
out to be. The remark someone
made about Shakespeare might be
apled-they are not of an age, but
for all time"
These are the conclusions drawn by
dressmakers following the revival Of
mediaeval costumes as officially an
nounced at the annual gathering
Styles of the l4th and preceding
centuries are now on exhibition at the
convention which was formally open
ed today.
A simple affair for market wear, re-
sembling, it is declared, the one
piece costume worn by Juliet when
she went to the tomb, is said to be
one of the tentative styles of the
Spring season.
Automobile habit, like the regular
dress Of Capuchin Friar, is another.

RIVALS MAMMOTH CAVE
N SCOPE AND BEAUTY
WONDERFUL CAVERN DISCov-
Erred IN ADIRoNDAcKS BY
AN OLD WooDSMAN.

SARANAC LAKE, N. Y. March
lO.--Captain E. E. Thomas an old
time woodsman, has discovered a
great cave in secluded part of the
Adirondaeks which may rival the
iamoas Mammoth cave Of Kentucky.
Thomas CHANGED to strike the en-
trance to the cavern on the summit Of
d mountain seldom visited by travellers
or sportsmen some time ago, but kept
the matter secret until he could make
an investigation. Taking companion
with him he entered the cavern for a
thousand feet and as the end was net
reached, the extent Of the cave from
that point on is not yet determined,
II is situated on peak known as "W'
mountain, not far from Standish N. Y
The old woodsman said:
@The mouth is about so feet wide.
The first room is 50 feet long, 20 feet
wide and 80 feet high. 1t swarmed
with bats, which lined the walls and
seemed scarcely able to move. There
was a decided smell of sulphur. In
the next room. which was 40 by is by
rs feet, we found passages branching
IN many directions and were unable
to explore all Of them. With only
the feeble rays Of lantern to guide
rs, We narrowly escaped several times
falling into pits. You can imagine
how deep some Of these were when
say that we had time to count Is
and 20 before rocks we dropped into
them were heard to strike and we did
not count rapidly. An elkshorn was
found by us far inside the cave. At
ter going a short distance from the
mouth there was no vegetation.
There is no opening at the base of
the mountain and there are no
streams in the cave so far as We have /.
discovered yet"

COMPOSERS 10TH BIRTHDAY.

NEW YORK, March lo.-At his
home in Brooklyn, where he has lived
quietly since he retired several years
ago from the active pursuit OF his
profession, Dudley Buck, the famous
organist and composer, received the
congratulations of numerous friends
today on the OCCASION of his 10th
birthday.
Since the death OF Edward Alex.
ander Mcdowell, Mr.. Buck is, per-
haps, the leading living American
composer. A legion of ehureh-goers
of three generations have sung his
songs and listened to his music. For
quarter Of century he was or.
ganist in Holy Trinity Church,
Brooklyn, and director and organisi
OF the Appollo Club, one Of the
aeknowleded powers in the American
musical world, For nearly 40 years
he was the best known church or.
ganist in America.
Mr., Buck was born in Hartford,
Conn, and supplemented his early
studies in the United States with an
extended course at the Leipsic con.
servatory, and in Dresden and Paris.
On his return to America he became
organist of the Park Church, Hart
ford; later in ST. James Church, Chi.
cago; in 1872 of St. Paul's, Boston.
Later in this city, he acted as assist
ant conductor at Theodore Thomas
Central Park Garden Concerts, and
became organist Of St. AIMS, Brook
lyn, resigning this position to take
similar one at Holy Trinity Church.
Mr.. Buck was one OF the first
American composers to achieve gen.
eral recognition. His works include
a long list of cantatas for male and
mixed choruses, a great deal Of or
gan and church music, a symphonic
overture called "Marmion" and a
comic opera "Deseret"

ADJUSTMENTS
DANIEL SULLY.

| Those who keep in touch with the
latest and greatest successes in the
dramatic and comedy line, will greet
the ant ouncement OF the appearance
of Mr., Daniel Sully in The Match
maker" at the Astoria Theatre, March
H. with much fervor. The fact OF
Mr. Sully appearing in a part and
play that affords more opportunities
than his former success "The Parish
Priest" is, in itself, sufficient proof
that all lovers OF good clean and
truthful play, far distant from the
muh followed line of the evcr.pres.
ent boudoir drama, may see The
Matchmaker" and leave with con.
viction that they have been taught
good moral and as a result feel de-
sire to begin life anew.
The story OF "The Matchmaker" is
decidedly original in its theme. The
scenes are laid in the rough and ready
country OF Western Idaho, a small
mining town young in existance and
barren OF good Christian citizens.
Pretty Margaret Manning is the OBJ
ject Of the unsought love Of her guar
doan, who is many years her senior,
Arnold Leslie, young mining engi'
neer from the East, is long since the
one in the love center OF the girl and
when this is learned by Jim Carter,
the guardian, there Immediately arise
events upon event to make the lives
OF the young couple anything but
happy. Nothing seems to be too base
for Carter to attempt in his efforts to
separate the two and when he is in
the midst of arousing the ire Of the
citizens Of Boom City against Leslie
for alleged horse stealing, Father
DAILY appears, to have a hand and
voice in the proceedings. From then
on the pastor Of little church in a
community not overloaded with par
ishioners he has anything but a
smooth trail, but he proves himself
priest Of commanding influence and |
man with never-failing courage; and |
besides proving the absurdity Of his
marriage to his young ward he shows
Carter the way to everlasting happi-
ness in his own home. Carter marries
his housekeeper of many years, who
he was about to unjustly turn into the
streets. He shows a pompous army
colonel the road to a happy freside
but not without many scenes Of ex-
RENE mirth, as Father DAILY not being

Tells senate Committee the Uses Made
OF secret Service by the Depa rtm cnts.

! WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The President
forwarded to-day TO Senator Hale, chair
man Of the Senate Committee on Appro-
priations, information asked for concern
ing the employment Of secret service
agents by the various executive depart
merits OF the Government. The docu-
ments were sent direct 10 Senator Hale
and their contents will not be made

Bucked the Hlssen Slate st Chicsgo.

Another anti-Tammany organization
has come into being. They are spring
ing up all over town as they do in Mayor
atty years. Unbelievers have been heard
to say that these organizations are as a
general rule formed in the hope that il
Republican candidate is elected on a
fusion ticket the leaders Of them will
be appointed to Office as Seth Low recog-
nized the heads of the different bodies
which supported him even though those
heads were professed Democrats.
Tho latest organization was formed
last night at a meeting in the Union
Square Hotel Of about twenty men who
have hitherto been connected with the
Independence League or the Citizens
Union. The chairman was John j.
Murphy. who until few months ago was
the secretary Of the Citizens Union
John T. CroDiD, who went az delegate
10 the Hearst convention in Chicago and
got himself nearly killed when he started
in to make speech advocating the in
doBement Of Bryan, was another Of the
twenty.
The new organization will probably
be named the Independent Democrats,
but that will not DO settled on until "a
charter which is in course of preparation
by a group of eminent citizens" has been
finished. The speakers last night we're
very serious. One Of them W no was rather
louder Of voice then some OF the others
was heard by the reporters outside in
the corridor predicting that the new or
gani2ation would not only determine
the result of neat November's election.
but that it would ride over and stand
upon the ruins of TammaDy Hall
The Independent Democrats will make
their headquarters at the Union Square
Hotel and at another meeting TO be held
in a week or two permanent officers will
be elected. The organization hasn't got
much money yet but one Of its founders
said last night that he was confident that
the support of the better class Of Demo-
Gratis would lie forthcoming and that all
the money needed would be obtained.
The Democratic Union, another anti
Tammany organization. will meet next
Wednesday night at the Jackson Club.

plans for the opening Of headquarters
