wall.
The receiver was hardly up un-
til the bell started again. For an
hour that bell kept going with
complaints about the tideflat
dump.
The cleanup committe ap-

and he was up a tree like the
rest. He finally concluded he
would try to regulate the dump

women went back to their task,

to clean up.

Hartman Planned Railroad
To Belt the World

That e. H. Hartman, before
his death, had practically COM
pleted plans whereby he would
gain control over several of the
biggest banks in the financial
district of New York, thereby be-
coming more powerful figure in
the banking world than j. Pier
pont Morgan, and that, had he
lived. he would have owned a
railroad around the world, are
the disclosures made in an arti-
Gle In the Metropolitan Magazine
for May.
The popular supposition was
that Harriman's ambition was to
own transcontinental railroad,
when. as matter of fact, at the
time of his death he owned or
controlled two or three lines
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

NEW TOUCH IN JEWELRY
Quaint Idea That Has Only Recently Made Its Appearance, and Is
 Welcomed.

Jewelry, at any rate, in our loose acceptance of the term, for no stones are visible in this pretty fancy have spoken of the gold lace pins crocheted with lace Now far-seeing manufac. turers have brought out wooden orna- ments in all manner of sorts and shapes-collar pins. hat pins, belt buck les. cuff links, slipper buckles- all to be covered with this cro- cheted lace. One may have whole set of them for an afternoons work, and they make the daintiest of gifts for brides and next Christmasers."
 If crocheting is not in your line. fine lace can be darned around these wood en foundations, of dotted or figured net may be used instead. Whatever material is used, they are as quaint and pretty as the lace-covered gold pins. which is saying great deal.- Exchange.

There seems to be something ire sistibly attractive to women in the fluffy, nodding plumes of the ostrich. and if this great bird could not be bred on ostrich farms his race would become extinct Like many another wearer of fine plumage. the goddess of fashion would pursue him to the death.
 Although good ostrich plumes are as costly as ever, they are in wider demand than in all the history of mill linery Everyone wants plumes, and other ostrich feathers, in all the va ried beautiful mountings which the artists make them up.
 There is wonderful variety to choose from. The introduction of willow" plumes, that is those hay ing the fues heightened by tying on extra pieces. has brought out all sorts of color combinations and plumes of long sweeping fibers. They are very beautiful but not as practical as the unpieeed plumes. In buying high priced ostrich feathers the French plumes with long, slightly curled fues are by far the best investment. They

The Swan-Like Throat.

This is to be a great season for col. larless frocks.
 But one pretty neck is often harder to acquire than the dozens of chemis- cites we may have done away with.
 A good neck depends much upon the general health, but considerable may be done that is of direct benefit
 Many an otherwise lovely neck Is ruined by an awkward poise of the head. The best cure for this is to sit or walk each day with book on the head. Do not stiffen the muscles to hold this weight Manage it by balancing.
 Thinness of the neck should be an easy fault to overcome.
 Plenty of sleep and an abundance oi milk, with raw eggs beaten up in 1t should help considerably.
 The neck should be washed well every night with warm water. followed by cold spray and massaged after ward with cold cream.

can be cleaned and recurled at a com. paratiyely small outlay and may be bought on a guarantee from the dealer that they will stand wear. Moisture doesn't do them any permanent harm. On the other hand the willow plume cannot be guaranteed to wear. Those in black are especially fragile, some. thing in the dye causes them to come united or to break off when the air is damp. The white and light colors wear better than black.
 When one does not need to think of economy there are beautiful effects to be wrought out by using planes with pieced fues, which are well worth the price.
 Three fall hats are illustrated here showing the simplicity and richness of ostrich used for trimming They are mounted in groups of three or more toward the back of the hat as rule. Nothing else is needed on the shape and the addition of band and bow about the crown Is a matter Of choice, for shape bearing a full tuft of plumes is amply trimmed.

INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for the Spread of the Scourge
 of Tuberc uIoss.

Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen states and territories have provided special places for the treatment of their tuberculosis prisoners. These in stitutions can accommodate, however only 500 patients. In threefourths of the major prisons and in practically all the tails of the country the tuber- culous prisoner is allowed freely to infect his fellow prisoners, very few restrictions being placed upon his habits. When the congregate mode of prison life Is considered. the danger of infection becomes greater than in the general population. New York and Massachusetts are the only states where any systematic attempt has been made to transfer all tuberculous prisoners to one central institution The largest prison tuberculosis hospi- tai is in Manila, where accommoda- tions for 200 prisoners are provided. The next largest Is Clinton prison hos pital in New York, which provides for 150.

PRETTY FANCY OF FASHION
Jeweled Laces Are Marvelously Beau tful, Though Only for Those
 With Long Purses.

The very newest thing in jewelry is the reproduction of old and priceless laces In tiny pearls and diamonds mounted upon gunmetal, platinum or diamond net The exact pattern of the lace Is copied, and the whole Is formed into a jabot or lace fall for the collar. Sometimes there is bow above, composed of some colored stones-emeralds or amethysts or ru- bies-set in solid.
 This new and wonderful work has revolutionized the art of the jeweler, since the workmanship has become quite as valuable as the stones them selves. These laces of jewels are, of course. ruinously expensive, but they are such marvels of beauty that a wo- man might well dispense with all oth. CT ornament for the sake of possessing one of them.
