equal to 3l45 for the standard crate

The melons were handled In the
eastern markets by the H. Woods

LONG NECK CHAINS POPULAR.
Can Be Made as Expensive as You
Please, Though Cheap and Pretty
Ones Are Plentiful.

There are few these days who are
without the long neck chain of consu-
late days. The stones. the enamel
and the metal may be hand wrought
and exceedingly expensive. or they
are made up of paste stones. colored
crystals and silver gilt.
They should not be massive and
heavy. This kind may be worn in
short chain that drops just below the
base of the neck. but the empire chain
is dainty and slenderly made.
A fine gold one is exceedingly good
looking finished with pendant at the
end. 1t should not be worn without
one An empire fan is the proper
pendant or a pair of jeweled gold
lorgnettes.
The shops offer pretty chains of
finely-cut colored crystals of imitation
coral, of fresh-water pearls and of
brilliant stones that look like aquam-
arines.
1t is quite usual to suspend the
muff by an empire chain. Black
enamel on silver is favorite choice
for dark furs, and silver ones are
used for the light furs.

Buttermilk is excellent for the COM
plexion and may be used daily, wash
ing with 1t, letting it dry on, and
then rinsing in warm, but not hot,
water.
Bread is fattening, but for most
persons 1t seems an indispensable ar
ticle of diet. Its amount can, how
ever, be limited, and it should be
toasted. Fats are less harmful than
sugar and starch. and may be allowed
in moderation in form of butter and
salad oil.
The unpleasant odor arising from
the hair in summer Is due to improper
ventilation. The false hair now large
ly wore is very heating, causing free
perspiration and unless frequently
aired and shampooed the hair be-
comes sticky, unmanageable and un-
pleasantly odorous. Gentle massage
is soothing, it stimulates the oil
glands and is best done at night be-
foreA stirring.

WEST MAY
LOSE JOBS
SO PROSPEROUS THAT FEW RES
IDENTS HAVE APPLIED TO
TAKE QUALIFYING EXAMINA-
TIONS FOR CENSUS WORK.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Unless
more residents from states in the far
west make application to the United
States Civil Service Commission for
the examinations to be held October
23 for positions in the census bureau
those states probably will fail to re-
ceive their full share of the appoint
ments, it was stated today at the
Civil Service Commission. The
trouble with the west is prosperity.
People who have the ability to- take
even the better paying positions in
the census service are making so
much money in other lines that they
are not bothering about the jobs to
be had in the decennial enumera-
tion. AS the census act provides for
the isrtibution of appointments
among the states and territories in
accordance with the law of appor-
tionment, the Civil Service Commits
sion is anxious to have applications
from persons in western states desir-
ing appointments in the census bu-
reau.
1t is expected that about 800 ap-
pointments will be held from me ex-
animation to be held in all the states
and territories. These appointments
will be for terms of six months to
two years. and will average about
one year In length.

Mine Horror
ARE AT WORK, BUT

WAY AND LITTLE PROGRESS
CAN BE MADE.

NANAIMO, B. c., Oct. 6.--Twen-
ty-eight lives are believed to have
been lost in an explosion that en-
tombed more than fifty men in the
Extension mine of the Wellington
Colliery company this morning.
Twenty-Five of the imprisoned men
were rescued, but the rapidly spread
ing fire prevented the rescuers from
completing their work, F'ive bodies
have been recovered and the warkers
are lending every effort to force their
entrance into the two levels af-
fected by the explosion, in an ef-
fot to save any one who may be liv-
ing and to recover the bodies of the
dead before they are consumed. g, -,

this morning. The force of the ex-
plosion was terrific, blowing out stop
ings and unhinging doors. The first
effects We're confined to the slope in
which it occurred, but later the fire
spread and is now burning In two
levels,
Sescuers hurried to the mine from
the neighboring towns of Nanaimo
and Ladysmith. While hundreds of
men are available for rescue work,
conditions in the mine are such that
not more than fifty men can be thus
employed, the Others being compelled
to stand idly by and watch the at
tempts of their fellows to force an
entrance into the slopes where the
miners are entombed.
The fire is constantly gaining head
way, and while it continues there is
little hope of the rescuers being able
to reach the imprisoned men.
Should the flames die down, the res
cuers may be able to force an en-
trance later tonight.
All the men rescued SO far are
badly injured.
The men employed in the collier

AMBASSADOR
|SRETURN|NG
MR. WHITE HAS OBTAINED
LEAVE OF ABSENCE AND WILL
EARLY NEXT MONTH.

PARIS, Oct. 6.-Henry White, am
bassador, has obtained leave of alb
sence and will sail November for
the United States, not to return.
Ambassador. Whites recall was ru-
mored here for months and was the
subject of keenest regret. Few for
eign representatives in recent years
enjoyed to the same extent as Mr..
White the confidence of the French
government, and such newspapers as
the Figaro and the Temps went to
great length in printing long edito-
rials, which, it is believed, were in
spired by the foreign Office, express
ing the hope that the reports would
prove incorrect.
Mr.. White, however, entertained
no.. illusions. In accordance with
diplomatic traditions he placed his
resignation at the disposal of Pres
ident Taft on the advent of the new
administration and the president ac-
cepted it, to take effect january 1,
next.
AS no official announcement fol-
lowed the resignation or the prospec-
tive appointment of Robert Bacon,
former secretary of state, who, it is
well understood will be his successor,
DR.. White was left in rather equiv
ocal position and now has decided, in
order to prevent further embarrass-
ment to himself as well as to Mr..
Bacon, to withdraw sooner than ar
ranged.
