charmer, coquettishly poking Z dimin-

Roland frowned reprovinsly, and
gently removed the tfespassing lis1t.
Then he gave an all-enveloping tuck
to his own spoon, polished II thor.

Pad Attachment for Skirts.

With the skirts that have a center
seam in front and that are cut to hang
straight from a line three or four
inches above the top of the waist these
is a pad attachment just in front: It
is made of cotton and inclosed in the
lining material, so that the inside of
the skirt will look neat. 1t is about
four inches long and two inches wide
and runs down the center seam direct
ly over the waist line. 1t keeps the
skirt from sinking in, which is always
inartistic: Amateurs do not always
know this trick, and they wonder why
it is they cannot keep the center front
of the skirt hanging in a perfectly
straight line.

iirst. White House Auto for Mrs. Taft

use on all occasions when their jour
neyings about Washington and in the
suburbs have no official significance. >
Mrs. Taft's car, like the other White
House automobiles, has the right Of
way over all vehicles in Washington,
and will not be compelled to observe
any speed limit. Her car is upholstered
in dark blue broadcloth and her chauf-
feur wears a neat and transformations
livery Of corresponding tint. On either
side at the front are mirrors, which
enable the chauffeur to keep constant
ly informed as to what vehicles are
following him, and thus minimize the
danger of collisions at turns.
The interior of the car is the en-
bodiment of luxury There is an cleo
trio dome light, supplied with current
from the storage. battery of sufficient
capacity to keep it aglow for "a hours.
Occupants of the tonneau can com
municate with the chauffeur by means
of speaking tube, or may employ. an
annunciator, which causes to flash up
before the eyes of the car driver such
signals as "start," 'stop,' "slow,"
faster" right" ':left," home etc.
The most distinctive feature of
President Taft's motors is the insignia
on the side doors, in lieu of the mono
grams which are now displayed by
most owners of expensive automobiles.
The emblem on the presidential car is
the coat of arms of the United States
in colors and this decoration serves
instantly to identify the car to all
passers by in Washington. The coat
of arms thus emblazoned takes the
place, in a sense, of the red, white
and blue cockades which distinguished
the White House equipage during tho
Roosevelt administration.

one-Preee House Frocks.

Women who have to superintetnd or
do much Of their Homework will be
foolish not to avail themselves of the
fashion for one-piece frocks. They are
excellent for the working hours.
They are narrow, trim, short and
have no undue trimming to rumple and
soil in days wearing.
They fastetn down the front, usual
ly down the left side from the shout
der with pearl buttons.
One can get these buttons with pat
ent clamps SO that they may be re-
moved when the frock goes to the
wash.

Dainty Cases and Sacks.

For the dressiest of town costumes
are new card cases covered first with
white satin, then with old venise lace.
Others are covered with lace net, en-
broidered, and inset with tiny lace mo-
tits. Little sacks for the fan or opera
glasses are made to match-such a
pretty fancy; and one easy of achieve
ment with the new fad for hand needle
work. The covers for sacks and porte
cartes are removable and so easily
cleaned.

LONGER Shoulder Seams.

It is said by those who know that
bodices are to be cut more squarely
across the shoulders. and therefore the
sleeves will be set lower on the arms.
This will be accomplished by running
the shoulder seams much longer than
we have had them during the direc-
toire period.
This smacks something of the Sec
ond empire. But everybody is pre-
pared for anything just now. - =

Supreme Court Holds Railroads to
Transportation Business Under the
Hepburn Act in Lackawana Case
Reverse Philadelphia Federal
Circuit Judge by Opinion Of
Far.Reachins Eifect....Tait
is Scorcher.

Washington, May 3.-The United
States supreme court this afternoon
declared constitutional the commodi-
ties clause of the Hepburn rate law
which Is intended to limit transporta-
ton companies to that business ex-
clusively.
The decic'nn or the supreme court
reverses the United States circuit
court of Philadelphia In all parts of
the country which are connected with
other business. The litigation began
in the case of the anthracite railroads
operating in the Pennsylvania coal
fields. The decision was read by JUS
tice White. II permits railroads, like
the Pennsylvania owing stock in coai
companies to haul the coal produced
but prohibits companies like the
Lackawana ard Western, actual.
owning and operating the mines
transporting in the interstate com
merce the product of their mines.
Rejecting the construction the gov
eminent placed on the commoditie,
clause, the court holds the clause
when the provisions are harmoni
ously construed, is intended to pre-
vent carriers being associated in. in
terest at the time of transportation
with the commodities transported
The clause prohibits the companies
engaged in interstate commerce trans
porting commodities under the fol.
lowing circumstances: when the
commodity has been manufactured
mined or produced by the railway;
when the railway company owns the
commodity to be transported; when
the railway has an interest in the
commodity. The prohibition does not
apply simply because the railway Is q
stockh older in the producing corpora
ton.
Justice Harlan dissented from this
reasoning by which the decision wal
reached. but concurred in the find
lngs. The opinion of the court al
far as the result is concerned was
Unanimous.

BROOKPORT FIRE

TWO RESIDENCES

Brookport,. ILL.,, May 3. Especially
Last night a little past IL O'Clock
fire broke out in the north end oil
ward No. 2, which totally destroyed
two homes and came near burning
other property. Charles s. Brown,
just lately returned from Paducah.
where he held a position as street car
conductor, lost all of his property,
saving a guilt or two and the clothes
on his own and his wife's back. The
house, which is the property of Mrs.
John Borthick, was soon in ashes.
Mogcs Davis lost his house and all of
his property. which he had Just re-
Gently repaired. He had no insurance,
but was waiting until he got his
house in good repair. Being across
the railroad and far north in the city,
the fire department was not able to
lget on the scene in time to do any
good except saving others. Charles
Brown holds $3.50 insurance upon his
household furniture, which will not
near pay the damage. Luckily for
near by jewellers, the wind was blow
ing in the opposite direction.

surprise gave way to grief. When
the announcement was made yester-'
day morning at early mass by the as

the affection with which the members

The news was received first by
Father Jansen himself when he had
a long distance telephone message
Saturday night from the Rt. Rev
Bishop William G. McCloskey, Of
Louisville, although II was not an
nounced until yesterday. The message
was a brief one and Father Jansen
was asked II he could report for duty
In Louisville this week. With his
usual devotion to duty he replied,
Yes"
He will be succeeded by the Rev,
Father Henry A. Connolly, in charge
OF ST. Brjdget's church In Louisville
The two Priests will change charges
and no other churches will be affect
ed. The Rev. Father Bishop will re-
main in Padueah as assistant to Faith

molly is said to be one Of the most
brilliant men In the Louisville do
cese. Father Jansen will leave on
Thursday at noon for Louisville,
where he will at once take up the act

Father Connolly will arrive this week
and will have charge OF the services
