WILLIAM |. GARRISON IS DEAD
FATHER WAS AMONG NOTED
ABoLITIoNISTS.
Denounced the United States as
ga Great Assassin Nation" for
Philippine War.

LEXINGTON, Mass, September 13.-
abolitionist, president of the American
Free Trade League. and widely known IS
a publicst and reformer, died Saturday.
He was born in Boston January 21, 1888.
Mr.. Garrison was educated in the public
schools of Boston and became successfully
a bank cashier, wool merchant and dealer
in investment securities. He did not take
part in public affairs until 1879. several
years after the death Of his father. He
was warm advocate of the Henry
George single tax theory and Of woman
suffrage, opposed the war with Spain,
was an anti-imperialist and an opponent
Of the Chinese exclusion laws. He edited.
without compensation. the Broadside, the
quarterly journal Of the Free Trade
League.
Mr.. Garrison was a man of decided
opinions and expressed them forcibly, re-
gardless of whether his views were popu
lar. He was an admirer of Tolstof, of
whom he said: mo monarch has SO wide
a realm or has SO powerfully Influenced
the thought Of the time"
When American troops were trying 10
suppress the outbreak Of AgTinalco IN the
Phiiippines Mr.. Garrison denounced the
United States as "a great assassin ra-
tion.''
Mr. Garrison in 1854 married Miss Ellen
Wright OF Auburn, N. Y, who survives
him. with their two daughters and three
sons He leaves a sister, Mrs. Henry VII
lard of New York, and a brother, Fran
els Jackson Garrison Of Lexington.

REGARDING ETIQUETTE.

In social presentations one must re-
member that the word Introduce is no
longer fashionable. Instead it is correct
say present" For instance, May
present or Il wish to present
Promiscuous presentation is bad form
and too much care cannot be taken to
avoid such blunders. 1t is transgressing
rules of etiquette to make presentations
In the street or in public places. though
there may be exceptional cases when IT is
permissible. If while out with a friend
yor encounter another with whom you
wish to stop and speak, the two not being
with the newcomer, chat moment and
then rejoin your friend who waits nearby
for you or strolls slowly ahead.
This rule of etiquette should be clearly
understood and rigidly acted on, else bad
feeling may arise. for it will easily be
seen IL one were SO careless as to behave
one way at one time in regard to this
matter and another way at another time,
ones friends would not know what to
expect and would be likely to have cause
for offense.
Never present persons to each other
without first finding out If meeting will
be agreeable. This, of course, does not
apply to intercourse under your own roof,
where as hostess you have latitude and
can properly assume that those whom you
have selected to bring together on the
occasion will wish to meet one another.
But when you are the guest you should
not feel the same freedom and should any
one ask you to present him or her to an
other you should refer the person to your
hostess or consult her yourself before TAX
ing any action. When you meet persons
for the first time do not ask them to come
to see you. At parting express pleasure
at having met them and the hope that
you may meet again. When you meet
them socially for a second time 1t is
proper for you to ask them to come to
see you If you wish their acquaintance.
Even then. however, you must not always
take the Initiative. In regard to men, 1t

10000 RUBLES FOR SON.
Russian Terrorists Stole Boy and
Threatened Death.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS, September s, 1909.
A wild story of Russian ter
rorism is told by the Bordeaux
police, who have just arrested
there a Russian student of twenty-one.
Last year a merchant of Tiflis was
warned that one of his sons would be
kidnapped. The boy, aged fourteen, was
captured while driving in the country
by armed men, who carried him away.
The father received a note: I'VE have
kept our word Send 6O,OO0 rubleS or thy
son shall die. We will send thee back
his head" The paper bore the stamp.
Anarchist Communist, Federation for
the Freedom of Tifiis," and in the margin
the boy himself had written, Father,
don't let me die. Send the money, or |
am lost"
The merchant kept mysterious appoint
ments and negotiated for weeks. At last
he got his boy back for $1,000 rubles
He communicated with the police, and
number of persons We're Implicated IN
the affair One of these Is said to be
the young student just arrested by the
French police in Bordeaux On behalf OF
the Russian government
He denied the charge and said, Il
know what 1t all means. / am an enemy
of the autocracy. That is why l am ar
rested 1 know Siberia awaits me, but
I shall protest, and shall call upon the
French government to inquire into my
case before ii hands me over to Russian
police and to my fate.

OWNERSHIP OFEMBASSYHOMES

j. B. Townsend Making Tour Of the
European Cities Collect
ing Information.

LONDON. September 13.-J. B. Town
send OF the American Embassy Associa-
ton has started propaganda for owner
ship by the American government OF its
diplomatic establishments, instead of
renting them, and is making tour OF the
principal European cities to collect in
formation for the society. Concerning his
tour in Belgium, Holland and Germany,
Mr.. Townsend writes:
''The residences of Ministers Wilson and
Beaupre at Brussels and The Hague, as
well as the consular offices at Brussels.
Amsterdam, Munich and Dresden, not
only compare favorably with those of the
seven leading nations, but in almost
every instance are superior. Ministers
Wilson and Beaupre have combined the
chanceller1es or embassy offices with
their residences The embassy Offices in
Berlin on Inter den Linden are convent
emily situated, light and airy. but hardly
spacious enough, ! am told, for the work
of the embassy. Consul General Thack-
ary's offices at Berlin compare favorably
with those OF the other nations.
What He Has Learned.
.-rhe result OF ny observations thus
.s- could tend to show, FIRST, that the
fees taken In by consular officers the
world over probably not only pay the
entire expenses of the consular depart
ment of the government. but also almost
the entire diplomatic service. The
amounts paid in renting ambassadorial
and ministerial residences and offices, II
invested fifteen years ago in the purchase
Of residences and offices, would have not
only given us their ownership. but have
trebled in value and removed the danger
Of humiliating experiences to which our
ambassadors and ministers are frequently
subjected
Second, the diplomatic service would
be interchangeable. This would aid the
latter, especially, and make ministers
more considerate of consuls.
Third, that consuls at large should be
abolished and consuls in each country
placed under the consul central at the
capital of that country.
II was particularly impressed with the
residence and offices Of Consul General
Gaffney at Dresden, which are exceed
ingly handsome. Dresden. to be sure,
differs from other consulates in Europe
for the reason that the consul general
and his wife have the right of presen-
tation to the court Of Saxony and are
thus obliged to do considerable entertain
ing"

B0YDS AND VICINITY.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

BOYDS, Nd, September Is, 1909.
The public schools in this section of
Montgomery county opened today, with a
good attendance. Many Ct the schools
have been repaired and painted during
the vacation. The new high school now
being erected at Clarksburg will not be
ready for occupancy until October Is.
The drought which has lasted two
months was broken by heavy rains
Thursday and Friday, but the relief from
the dry spell did not come in time to
save the corn from being cut to half
twelve barrels to the acre. This year it
will be about six, and it is predicted
that the quality of corn will be low. The
crops of wheat and hay in this section
were low and were estimated at 40 per
cent below the average.
1t is expected that the Northern Meth
odist Episcopal NChurch being built at
Clarksburg will-bv completed on or about
November 15. The new church will cost
$4,000 and replaces a brick structure
built in 1853, which supplanted a log
church bearing the date 1857.
The stockholders and directors Of the
Boyd Hall Company met at the home OF
Mrs Sarah e. Boyd last night and voted
In favor of consummating sale where
by the property will be turned over to
bury and son. Boyd Hall was built in
1895 and has been used for business and
amusement purposes.
John w. Williams has returned from a
tour of the Pacific coast.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Hicks and their
family have returned from Des Moines,
Iowa.

Not Like Condensed

Don't think of Van Camps as condensed
milk, for condensed milk is nearly half sugar.
Sugar was the old way of preserving milk
before the days of sterilization.
Condensed milk is 50 largely sugar that it
is very expensive. And you can't use it for
cooking because it's too sweet. Such un-
is natural milk, preserved by modern meth
DDS.
Nor is Van Camps like other brands Of
evaporated. For this is Hoistein milk, reduced
to the minimum bulk.
Common milk, only partly evaporated, is
often said to be as good as Van Camps
But nearly every housewife knows that it
isn't So don't be misled.

shows no new colors. The self stripe
continues to be favorite.
In tailored suitings two-tone materials
will be worn, and some combinations are
effective; for instance, blue and a dark
shade, and two tones of gray result in a
pretty steel.
Black and a color. such as wine red
or dark wistaria, make q pretty goods
tailored suits for street wear and are
just the right colors and weight to look
and feel comfortable at the present time
Stripes will be seen but little in wooler
fabrics.
In silks there are no particularly new
shades. There Is an odd tone of green
something like a pale olive, that is g
newcomer, and ore or two new tirts o!
rose. Other than these the colo-s seer
70 be the same as have been wo-. coz.
t,nuaMy.
It is early, of course, to state definitely
what colors will be worn. 1t may be
that the meager list of new shades will
be added to as the season advances, and
If SO. 1 shall. be glad to announce
changes, for every one likes new tints
that are fashionable.
New goods seem to be reasonable in
price. Broadcloths begin at $50, though
it is wiser to spend more, for then com
para lively good service may be expected
In buying broadcloth always ask whether
it has been sponged and shrunk. If not
it should be done before making up, 9th.
erwise it will be apt to spot if it is wet.
Prunella at 81 yard should be prac.
ticable for house gown. and serges will
cost from seventy-f1ve cents upward
Those in more delicate shades are more
expensive than the staple navy blues anC
black, unless, of course. one is buying a
good quality of these somber tones.
A u atul suiting can be bought In wide
vale tor $1.9S a good width. Cheviots
and storm serges at 81 are good value fol
the money, and so are Panamas at sew.
