MRS. TAFTs SKUNK COAT.

Remarkable Garment Made by Massa-
chusetts Hunter For Presidents Wife,
Mrs. Taft, wife of the president, re-
Gently received present Of remark
able fur coat 1t is made of skunk.
but no charge of cheapness or COM
monness can be brought against it
when it is known that no fewer than
1873 skins were employed in its maxi
ing. Of course only parts Of each skin
could be used, and James A. Calf, a
Bay State hunter. who collected the
furs, has cut them with a lavish
Wastefulness in such way that only
the black parts have been used in the
making of the body of the coat. With
no sign of the white streaks that usu~
ally are the identifying marks OF
skunk skins, any one except an expert
in furs might be puzzled TO say what
breed of animal had given it's life for
this coat of Mrs. Iaft's, but just tell
tale hint is left in the collar and cuffs.
Here again the skins have been spe-
cially selected and cut with extra care.
so that only the parts that are OF the
purest white were reserved for use,
and as collar and cuffs alike are four
and a half inches wide they afford
striking contrast with the jet black of
the sheen of the rest of the coat. In
side the collar is a reproduction Of the
seal of the United States made entirely
out of tiny porcupine quilts interviewer
and dyed red, white and blue.

in GOOD MORALS
Philadelphia Superintendent and
Teachers Urge New Idea.
PLAN MAY BECOME NATIONAL.

Many Virtues Embodied In Proposed
System, Mr.. Rrumbaugh Asserts-If
1t Is Successful, New York Million
aire Viii Urge Its Adoption Through
out America.
Love, humOr, courage and economy
are a few of the virtues which will be
taught to the pupils Of the Philadel-
phia schools if the present plans Of
Superintendent Brumbaugh and a COM
mittee Of twenty teachers are approx
ed by the board of education.
The committee met the other after.
noon to discuss prospective course in
good morals. and superintendent
Brumbaugh intimated in addressing
the members if the system of instruc.
ton proves a success James Il. White.
the New York millionaire who is will
ing to donate a small fortune for the
advancement of this kind Of training.
will urge its adoption throughout the
United States
Other Virtues Approved.
Some of the other virtues Endorsed
by the committee and which in all
probability will be included in the
course of moral instruction are: Clean
iness, neatness, politeness, gentleness,
kindness to mankind and to animals
truthfulness. fidelity in duty, nobility.
obedience, respect and reverence, graft
tude and thankfulness, forgiveness
confession. honesty, honor, humility.
self respect. self control, prudence
good name. good manners. health, tenn
perance, civil duties. industry. patri-
otism, cheerfulness, appreciation, con-
tentment and punctuality.
Mr. White has urged me to accept
the presidency of the Character Devel-
opment league. in which he is inter-
ested," said Mr.. Brumbaugh to the
committee. THAT matter is still in
allegiance Mr. White has his ideas as
to the best methods Of procedure, and
l have mine. But we agree that some
thing should be done in this matter in
the schools of the United States. So
we will try and do something in this
city philadelphia as beginning,
whether we go into the national field
or not. Mr.. White wishes us to try it
out in Philadelphia. and ii it is a suc-
cess here it will be tried elsewhere
Suggestion to Teachers.
SCI wish the instruction to be given
incidentally to the regular work or in
the opening exercises. TIE teacher can
give the instruction by means of anec~
dotes. stories, poems or songs in the
regular routine of work. No story
should take more than three minutes
for its relation"
Upon the suggestion of DR.. Brum-
baugh it was agreed to assign each
member to gather material for one or
more of the several virtues indorsed.
The members will report at the next
committee meeting. which probably
will be held in January.

BLAST FOR WILLIAM WATSON
lie GaIienne's Reply to British Poets
War on Women.

lie GaIIienne's Reply to British Poets
War on Women.
William Watson'S statement that his
visit to the United States is but an in
itial move in a war on the family of
Premier Asquith Of England has still
further stirred the turmoil created by
the British poets original poem.
Richard lie Gallienne. who was the
first man in America to answer the
'Serpent's Tongue" poem with with
ering blast of verse. has written a
second poem. which he dedicates to
Mr.. Watson. 1t answers the lattPr'S
latest statement of explanation con-
corning his visit to America. The
poem as printed in the New York
American follows:
His country. So it was to save
England he crossed the wireless wave
Patriot, indeed, who runs away
Because he needs the sea to say
The words he reared to say on land.
Is England in so bad a plight
She needs a man like this to fight
Her battle. one who takes the hand
OF a fair hostess on a day
And prints the words of yesterday?
. altar of the sacred muse.
Shall Englishwomen thus bear shame
To give an English poet fame?
There is man who sings the song
Of England in such living words
They thrill along the waiting wires
And make the world forget the birds.
He with his iron English pen
Has written the strong code of men.
His meter will not march with mines
So | must place his mighty line
AS footnote to fleeting song. -
Ah he is England's man today,
He who joined hands of east and west
And made the wide word understand
England is England all the way!
ENVOI.
If English statesmen have done wrong
Hit at them in the hardest song.
And should their women not do right,
Then call their men folk out to fight.
That is the fair and ancient way,
But do not in a teacup song
Say woman with the serpent's tongue"
. : "If she have spoken word. remeln-
Der thy lips are sealed.
And the brand of the dog is upon him by
whom is the secret revealed.
''If she have written a letter, delay not
an instant. but burn it.
Tear it in pieces, o fool. and the wind to
her mate shall return it!
If there be trouble to herWard and lie
of the blacklist can clear,
Lie while thy lips can move or a man is
alive to hear"

Edwin Egan Murdered.

Thursday morning Mr.. J. E.
Wise of Calabasas telephoned to
Sheriff Saxon and District Attorney
w. A. O'Connor that Edwin Egan.
the well known farmer and rancher
had been killed the night before, at
his home on his rancho on the west
side of the Santa Cruz river, about
two miles from the post Office at
Calabasas. Sheriff Saxon and Dis
trict Attorney O'Connor, with JUS
tice OF the Peace J. J. Chatham,
and a coroner's jury impanelled by
the latter, went to the Egan rancho,
and brought the remains into No
gales, where an inquest was held
Thursday afternoon. The testi-
mony was to the effect that when
the workmen employed by Mr..
Egan reached the rancho in the
morning and went about their
work they noted in a little time
that he did not put in his appear
ance as usual. They went to the
house, looked into the bedroom
through the window and saw him
lying on the floor with a mattrass
laid over him, covering his face.
They went to Mr.. Wise's place and
reported to him what they had
seen. Mr.. Wise went over to
Egan's as quickly as possible and
made his way into the house and
into the bedroom. There he found
deceased stretched on the floor, his
hands tied behind his back, his
head and face confused, and his
throat cut. Over the body was laid
the mattrass mentioned, covering
the head and face, and upon that
was laid Winchester rife, Colts
revolver with ivory handle, and a
long, sharp butcher knife, from
which bloodstains had been wiped
all three the property of the de-
ceased. There were evidences of a
struggle in the kitchen and that
the body had been dragged into the
bedroom. Nothing to indicate the
perpetrator or perpetrators of the
crime was found, and the foregoing
is the substance of the testimony
taken at the inquest.
Deceased was single man, liv-
ing by himself, and had occupied
the rancho where he lived since
1888, or thereab bout. He was about
slxty-one years of age.

Labor and the Saloon.

One of the surprises Of the CAM
paign in Ohio against the saloon is
the fact that in such counties as Per-
ry, Hooking and Athens the mining
classes have helped to furnish the
dry" votes. The contrary was ex-
pected, miners, in the popular but
uniformed mind, being a bibulously
inclined lot and quick to resent any
interference by the state with their
appetites. Herein is shown one of
the greatest triumphs of the union
labor movement. In proportion as
the hours of labor have been short
ened and wages increased, drunken
ness has become less common among
this class of workers. They have
had more respect for themselves and
for society. Long hours of toll, with
its consequent demand on the vital
forces of the workers has heretofore
been one of the prime causes of dis
sipation among wage-workers.- De
