HOPKINS APPEALS
FOR HIS RELEASE
Defaulting Bank Cashier Asks
Board of Prison Directors
for His Parole
Insists Serving of Remainder Of
Eighteen Months Sentence
Would Endanger Life

George w. Hopkins. former cashier
of the State savings and commercial
bank. which Institution is now in the
hands of the superintendent OF banks.
and who confessed TO the embezzIement
of sum between $4,000 and $4,000
and was sentenced to a term of Is
months in prison. has applied to the
board of prison directors for parole.
Hopkins began TO. serve his short SEN
tence in January of this year and up
to date has been incarcerated only
seven months. In his petition ne lays
great stress on the fact that he is a
sick man and that he may not live il
compelled to serve the remainder OF his
sentence behind prison bars.
Hopkins was arrested November 5,
1908, on the eve of his departure for
his vacation. He had not appeared at
the bank that day on account OF his
making preparations for his vacation
and one OF the clerks. who was to have
taken Hopkins place during his alb
sence. discovered several discrepan-
cies. The latter was sent for and
when confronted with the evidence in
the possession of the banks officers
admitted that he had embezzled a sum
not exceeding $500. 1t was subse-
quently discovered that his peculatiOns.
WHICH ndu Deen running TOT more LQdn a
year. amounted to about $4,000.
In his confession TO the police Hop
kins said that he had been gambling
on horse races and that he had spent
a considerable portion of the money
on fast women. Despite this portion Of
his confession his wife remained stead
fast and while he was in the city
prison visited him every day. His APP
pearance in- court the morning he was
sentenced was pitiable. His wife and
the bailiff had to assist him to prevent
his falling to the floor. He had eN-
pected to be admitted to probation
and the disappointment was too much
for him.
Whether or not the prison directors
will admit him to parole is problem
atica1. According to the parole law a
prisoner must have served at least haif
of his sentence before he is eligible,
and in many instances the action taken
by the board is not favorable Hop
kins' term will rightfully expire April
| s, 1910.

MAY COLLECT ON RACE HORSES

toms officers here are awaiting instruc-
lions about a clause in the new tariff
bill which involves the future of horse
racing in Canada. The Canadian tracks
depend largely on American owned
thoroughbreds for their sport, and hith-
erto entries owned in the United States
have passed free across the border
and back again. Collector Daniels, how
ever, finds no provisions in the new
law for the re-entry free of duty of
American horses entering Canada for

is that all returning livestock must

Parasol Handles at the Wrong End.
THE very newest notion at the French
! races has been the parasol with its
ferule end bent around into crook,
which hangs over the arm. The other
end-or handle of the parasol-is the
usual very long stick which one sees
everywhere this summer. One advantage
of having the hook on the ferule end
of the sunshade is that when 1t is car
ried over the arm the points of the ribs
do not catch in the draperies of the
frock, as has often been the case with
para soils carried in the usual manner.

! ribbons all the time. it either means

ribbons can be washed. They should be
placed in salt water bath, and while
they are in this water the other prepare

A New idea in Embroidered Stock
ings.
~NE imagines that the folk who de-
~ sign the patterns for the pretty EN-
broidered hosiery must often be at their
wits end for something new, for women
must have novelty, and so few designs
are really practical on the silk weave.
The latest notion is a little buckle en-
broidered on the stockings just IN the
center of the instep-above where the
shoe comes-the buckle being embroid-
cred with gold and yellow threads to
initiate gold and jewels being set in with
colored threads. On a pair Of sheer black
hose oval gilt buckles set with turquoises
were very prettily initiated in the en-
broidery.
To Repair Sleeves.
TT has been said that it is the sleeves
that proclaim the age of q garment,
but the sleeves are much smaller this
year, and their alteration or repairing is
a much easier job. Seams may be hid
den under a tuck or a band of trimming
in case of a smoothly fitting sleeve. and
the mousquetaire models are even more
easily repaired. Once the stirring is in,
the result is pretty, regardless of the
fact that the sleeve may be a veritable
bit of patchwork.

One-Pece Wool Frocks the Fad-- Three Costumes in One

The fall bride will have at least three
of these little one-piece wool frocks. for
they are much the thing now, their
vogue having been the direct cause of
the fad for long, all-enve,oping topcoats.
They are made on princess lines and
usually have the long bodice effect with

is a tunic-or Russian smock effect, the
smock falling loosely over the skirt. 4

There is an old saying to the effect
