Secret of an EMPRESS Beauty

The German Empress is said by ar
lists to possess the finest shoulders
of any woman in Europe. She gives
the credit to a soap manufactured ex
clusively for her. This soap has a
deliciously refreshing odor, and the
empress believes it is beneficial to the
muscles while acting as tonic to the
cuticle of the face and neck The EN-.
press uses peppermint as a dentrifice.
New mown hay is her favorits hand
kerchief perfume, and once a day her
rooms are sprayed with cologne. The
empress powders her hair freely. as
she naturally is not pleased by the
promise of being prematurely gray.
The chances are she would submit
her hair to the peroxide bath, but the
emperor will not permit it. Dyed hair
is one Of his pet aversions, although
curiously enough he does notvahieos
to powder.

VERDICT NOWHERE IN SIGHT,
Colored Jurymen Had Done Their
Best, But Thing Sought For Was
Not In Evidence

A lawyer from New Orleans tells
the story about jury trail in little
obscure village somewhere in Lon
isiana 'Of course, strange as it may
seem, the jury in thia trial was made
up entirely OF negroes. 1t seeing tina,
all the available white men were eth
er at work or Lad gone hunting oil
fishing. And, anyway, it being a case
of one negro charged with stealing
from another, the interest of the white
people of the place, of whom there
was conspicuous minority, was moi
sufficiently involved for it to make any
difference.
when the evidence was all in ant
the prosecuting attorney, a white man
of course, had submitted the case
without argument, the accused, for
tunately, had no corlsel--thn Judge

which could not agree in the box, t,

FRESH FROM THE
| BANANA FARM
How Plantation is Run.-Method OF
Producing Bunches, Caring For
Them and Shipping to Market.
Chattanooga News.

Chattanooga News.
T. NJ. Hawkins, formerly of Cowan,
Tenn, who has been in Panama for
several years, spent last Monday and
Tuesday in this city. He has been
connected with The United Fruit Co.
for some time. This company has one
of the largest banana plantations in
Panama and their products are ship
ped largely to this city. Discussing
banana culture Mr.. Hawkins said:
when a plantation is started, bulbs
are planted in hills about twenty feet
apart. In a few weeks sprouts grow
fgrom the bulbs, which are limited to
about six to a hill. The bana sprouts
are allowed to grow at intervals of
about a month. By keeping the sprouts
cut in this way a banana tree is cut
about every six weeks and the bana-
mas. To gather a bunch of bananas
which grows about twenty feet from
the ground, the tree is cut down. When
the tree is cut down another sproIt
from the bulb is allowed to grow and
in this way a bunch of bananas is
gathered from the original hill every
six weeks from alternating plants.
The bana tree is cut up into small
pieces so that it will rot in a short
time.
when a disease strikes a banana
plantation it often ruins the trees in
short time and the plantation has
to be abandoned, as the disease cannot
be stamped out.
The bananas are green when cut
and are put on pack mule and taken
to railroad near by. Here they are
graded and sent by rail to the wharf,
where they are loaded on lighter, a
small barge. and taken out to the fruit
ship. The bananas are then taken TO
New Orleans and Mobile, where they
are loaded on cars and sent to all
parts of the United States. From the
time they are gathered until they
reach this city is about eoight days
Regular passenger trains are run
on the railroads that run through
these plantations. The plantations are
divided into farms of 500 to 1000
acres each. This farm has two white
men who act as managers. They work
from forty to 900 natives in caring Tor
the bananas. Thet number OF natives
that are employed is regulated BY the
amount of ditching that has to be
done The bananas are gathered and
placed on the wharf by contract, The
price is about cents per bunch.
when the bananas are allowed to
riben on the tree they are very dry
and are not juicy as they are when
pulled green for export"

"RUBE" WADDELL ON
THE FASHIONS.

Mr.. G. Edward Waddell, popularity
known as "Rube," the famous pitcher
and arbiter of fashion, was on Broad
way yesterday. and was at once sur
rounded by admiring fans, and also
would-be dressy gentlemen, eager to
learn how the styles would be Worn
this fall Nr. Waddell was genial and
communicative.
can YOU give me an idea, Mr.. Wad-
dell" asked Wilson Miner how
trousers will be worn this season.
Mr.. Waddell smiled benignly.
"Mostly on the legs, dear boy" said
he. "A few ultra Partisan people will
use them for hats, with the slack
toque fashion, and the suspenders
spliced out for plumes, but this style
will hardly become prevalent in Amer
ica."
"What will be the real fad in shirts,
Mr.. Waddell?" asked Rex Beach.
81 Judge" said Arbiter Elegantium,
that shirts will be subdued. That is
to say, you won't see them. Red
sweaters will take their place, espe'
cially in full dress. Can you show
me anything more superb than red
sweater with a spike-tail coat? The
tout ensemble gan be made more
striking and autocratic by wearing no
shoes. but this is optional with the
individual"
Anything new in ties, Mr.. Wad-
delo" asked Nose Gumble.
Nothing but necks,' replied the
glass of fashion. The proper tie for
the coming fall will be worn without a
collar. looped over the sweater, but
with the ends brought back and fast
ened TO the hatband. A very charming
variety Of tie will be made of fried
flattish. You get the fish done to a
delicate Roman brown, then cut him
IN circle-excavate his works, as it
were. Put your head through the cir
Gle. and pour little violet ink on the
gills. The resultant effect is inde.
scribably magnificent
'"Thank you, Mr.. Waddell!" exclaim'
/ ed the instructed throng.
Nothing at all, gentlemen-nothing
at ALL" And Mr.. Waddell passed ma
jestically upon his fashionable way

ENGINEER WITH HIM

Engineer Hugh l. Cooper is coming
down the river today from Burlington
In motor boat. accompanied by an
engineer who is taking some observa-
tons along the route.
Yesterday afternoon he called up
Judge Logan over the long distance
telephone at 4 o'clock from Chicago
and asked him to make arrangements
for motor boat at Burlington for
himself and another who expected
to arrive In Burlington this morning.
Arrangements we're made to secure
Warren Beckwith's fine launch and
w. N. Sage went up to Burlington to
look after tho party and see that Mr..
Cooper and his engineer got started
all right.
This morning the party went north
Of Burlington about ten miles, from
which point on south the observations
were to be made by the engineer who
is supposed to be making an investi-
cation for capitalists who are being
interested in the project by Messrs.
Cooper and Powellson.
The party is expected to arrive here
either this evening or tomorrow and
then 1t can be ascertained for just
what purpose this inspection trip is
being made.
still at Work.
Messrs Cooper and Pewe1lson are
still at work on the water power pro-
| ject as this inspection tour would In
dictate, but from the fact that they
have all Of the required data and fig
ures, it is presumed that the inspec-
ton trip Of today is made at the re-
quest OF other parties who wish to
verify the figures or take notes for
| themselves.

phone message yesterday afternoon
| who the engineer was who was with
him, nor whom he represented.
