At a Railroad Meeting the Financier
Became Angry, Then Laughed.

New York, Nov. 3. j. p. Morgan
had a stormy moment in New Haven
at the meeting of the stockholders of
the New York. New Haven and Hart.
ford railroad. He came out with fly.
ing colors and had good laugh after
his choler had disappeared
A. Maxey Hitler of New Haven, a
stakeholder, angered the financier
when he asked about the part the
railroad was taking in the Connecticut
political campaign.
Report has it," Hitler said, that
the night before the republican con-
vention Mr.. Morgan was In Hartford
with $40, 200 in his vest pocket to nom.
mate Charles A. Goodwin, the repub.
lican candidate for governor"
Trembling with rage, Morgan sent
back hot rejoinder. But he did not
get chance to say word. Hitler
with a wave of his hand, stopped the
financier. Morgan stood for mo
ment, regarding him intently, his eyes
| flashing.
You need not deny anything, Mr.
Morgan" Mr.. Hitler said. 81 don't be
lieve you were in Hartford the night
before the convention; l don't believe
you ever carried $4,000 in your ves
pocket, and don't believe you care 6
cent who is governor of Connecticut.
Morgan sat down, and then laughed
the other stockholders joining. Hillel
then explained he wanted to let the
stockholders and directors know of the
report and asked President Mellen the
question so there should be official pro
nouncement on the subject.

ASSASSINATION JUST A JOKE.
Demented Man Fires Blank Cartridge
at Philadelphia Official.

Philadelphia, Nov. 5-Harry Clark
demented man aged 80 years, Great
ed much excitement in the city hall
when in the presence of Director of
Public Safety Clay he drew a baby
hammerless revolver of smallest cali
Der and fired two shots while convers-
ing with the director. Attaches of the
directors office, believing their chief
had been shot, rushed upon the man
and overpowered him. A hurried ex-
animation revealed the fact that the
tiny weapon contained blank cart
ridges and that the director had es-
capped with case of fright.
Rumors of the attempted assasslna-
ton" spread throughout the city and
it was sometime before his friends
were assured that the shooting was
more of joke than a tragedy.
Clark, who lives in the same ward
with the director, had called to ask
permission to sell a novelty on the
streets. Mr.. Clay told him to make
application in the usual way, This
seemed to excite the visitor and he
drew the revolver and fired.
Clark was later sent to the Phila-
delphia hospital for the insane.

Home Talent Show Great.

SNAP Shots" the big home talent
comedy put on at the Auditorium Fri
day night under the auspices of the
Ladies' guild of Trinity church, proved
TO be one of the cleverest and most
successful home talent offerings that
Norfolk ever has seen. The attraction
was greeted by big audience and an
appreciative Gne.
The cast was truly an "all star" ag-
gregation, as advertised, Every mem
Der of the big company was superb in
the role undertaken, and to each must
go share of the credit for the events
big success.
The scene of the play is laid in a
photographers studio. Archie Cow
was the photographer, 1t was circus
day in the village and everybody from
miles around dropped in to have their
pictures taken. The fun occasioned
by these visits made the play really
worthy one, from a dramatic stand
point,
Mr.. Cow was great as the pnotogra'
pher. Frank Scott as Bob, an all
around assistant" was the height of
cleverness, and Mrs. John Friday did
the role of Miss Brown, retoucher,"
in a most superior way. The whole

NO HAREM FOR T. r.
Member Of His African Party Says He
Rejected String Of Dusky Beauties.

Chicago, Nov 5.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, while in Africa, was stung
by the dreaded tse-tse fly, bearer of
the sleeping sickness, according to j.
Alden Loring, field naturalist of the
Roosevelt African expedition, who is
lecturing on the trip.
Mr.. Loring said that the colonel re-
sisted the infection. 1t appeared to
have no effect on his system.
I'VE were attacked" he said, "by
swarms of the tse-tse fly near the
Lake Navashi. Every one was bitten.
Colonel Roosevelt was stung many
times, but the flies did not seem to
have the right kind of poison for him. "
Difficulties that Roosevelt had with
his native porters, who at times an.
noyed him by worshiping him as a
god, were recounted by Mr. Loring.
On one OCCASION he said, a number of
the porters deserted for day and re.
turned with thirty-five native women
they had stolen and presented them to
the colonel. This, he said, so enraged
Roosevelt that he discharged the
whole band of abductors.

Madison People Interested.

The Star-Mail wishes to call spe
cial attention to Miss Alta Hazel Up
ton, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Upton of this city, who is candidate
in The Norfolk Daily News contest
for their mammoth touring car.
Brushing aside the fact that Miss Up.
ton is one of Madison's most popular
young ladies and deserving of a great
deal more than is in our power to give
her, The Norfolk Daily News has so
arranged matters with their special
wire from all the news centers that
they beat the Omaha, Lincoln and
Sioux City papers from eight to twelve
hours with all the late upto-date
news. Madison owes to this young
lady their moral support and we owe
it to w. N. Huse that we should sup
port paper in our vicinity at least
one-half in accordance with what is
due him and his very efficient staff.
So in all fairness to this brilliant
and accomplished young lady and to
this paper which is placing Madison
county on the map, why not subscribe
now and thereby help a girl from a
worthy family who is trying to make
mark in this contest for the best
town, in the best county, in the best
state in the United States.

The confidence of Nebraska adher.

with instructions to play safe and to

Until a few days ago the Ames Aggies

THREE BALLS AND A WALK.
Baseball Men Are Said to be Consider
ina This Change.


Chicago, Nov. 5.-Reduction of the
number of called balls emitting a bats
man to first base from four balls to
three and revival of the earned run
are among the changes being consid-
cred by baseball magnates for the
betterment of the game before anoth-
er season rolls around.
That the earned run will be re-
stored to official good standing as a
partial means of determining the rela-
tive standing of pitchers in the Amer
lean League, it is asserted by officials
now in this city, is practically assured.
Whether or not it is brought back TO
life in the National and other organ
izations, the officials of the American
League will make the revival and
can do so single handed because it is
matter affecting the official scoring
and tabulation of pitchers records,
but not the playing rules.
The reduction of the amount of
waiting a batsman will have to do to
get a base on balls is a different prop
osition, as it will require concurrent
action by both major leagues.

A SEASON WITHOUT coRsETs.
The Natural Model is to BE Fashion
able This Season.

dplc T'S oSdsoV'
New York, Nov. 5.-Women gener.
ally, and stout women particularly,
are just now interested in the rumor
as to the abolition of the corset. Re-
port has 1t that the corsetless figure
is to be the fashionable one this sea-
son, and II this is true then there is
certainly cause for alarm, for few fig
ures are so perfect they can afford to
dispense with the corset.
A corsetiere says that the apparent
ly corsetless figure will undoubtedly
be "the" model for the coming winter,
but that the corset will in reality con-
tinue to be worn, the desired effect
being produced by the lines of the
cores one sees in the average corset,
there are only straight up and down
lines from the bust to the lower edge
in the new style stays.
II is quite easy to state the length
of the corset above the waist line, be.
cause all are cut quite low, but to
speak definitely as to the length below
the waist is quite another matter
This is determined by the wearer, &C
cording as she prefers style or com
fort.
The very newest model in the new
corset Is a marvel. In the first place
the material is tricot, resembling a
rather closely woven knit goods, cut
so as to have few seams as possible
probably not more than six in all
These are covered with a casing fol-
the bones, which, by the way, are
quite flexible and end at a point, which
enables the wearer to assume sit
ting position without discomfort
The corset extends from six to eight
cen inches below the bones, the length
depending upon the taste of the wear
err At the bust there is plenty Of
room allowed, and the same may be
said of the waist line, for there is very
little difference between the two meas
urements. Around the hips the corse
spreads just a little. AS matter o.
! fact, the corset measured only fou1
inches more around the hips, 81,
! inches below the waist line, than i
did at the waist line, so that really
when the new corset is fitted to the
! figure and the dress put on over i
the wearer does appear to have dis
carded her corset, because the figure
appears to be perfectly natural.
Young women OF good Iigure are, i
is said, raving over the new models
and certainly some of them are eX
tremely beautiful in these corsets, bu
there is the average girl and the stou
figure to be catered to as WELL al
though everything nowadays appear!
to be designed especially for tall anC
slender women. The average figure
is to be nodded into the straight VI
and down lines, which are to be mod
flied just little, while a greater con
cession is allowed to the stout figure
The stout woman will have her corse
cut on straight lines back and front
but will be given little curve unde
the arms.

Work at Mill Dam Finished.


C. S. Bridge reports the completion
of the extensive repairs on the mill
dam and race. All that is necessary
now is a new bridge. Reinforced con-
crete walls have taken place of the
old plank walls. Heavy iron work has
be a guarantee against any further
high water damage. The apron of
the dam has been thoroughly repaired,
and now all that remains to be done
is to replace the wooden sides of the
flume with steel. This work is now
being done.
The work of repairing the dam, al.
though a perfect success, was not an
easy task. A large engine was put to
work and much water was pumped out
of the river below the dam to enable
the workmen to make the repairs on
be built to keep the water running
over the apron while the pumping was
going on.
With the pumping out of the water
was a vast amount of excellent gravel
in the river below the dam and much
of this was taken out under Mr..
Bridges direction. AS soon as the
wet weather again makes its appear
ance here the gravel will be placed
on all the roads over the mill grounds
and under the governments plan,
will be mixed with the mud making
an excellent and economic pavement.

DRESS UP TO YOUR FEATURES
That is the Secret Of the Art of Being
Well GoWned.

New York, Nov. 5.-"Find out what
your most characteristic feature is
and then dress up to it. If you do this
you will be artistically gowned, ac-
cording to the latest logic advanced
by the fine arts department of the
Teachers college, which began its in
struction last night in artistic costum-
ing under the direction of a woman
who formerly designed for a Fifth av-
cnue dressmaker.
OF course, it must be an attractive
feature if it is to be dressed up to.
Art in costuming does not emphasize
any the good points of the feminine
face and figure. The others have to
be dressed down. For instance, a too
prominent nose, eyes that squint or a
mouth of too ample proportions to lay
claim to beauty may spoil an other
wise attractive face Such features
may be subdued and the other fea-
lures given prominence if you know
the secrets of the new art in dress.
"Accentuate your best features" ad-
vises Miss G. l.. Hitchings, the in
structor, when talking to her class.
IF you have attractive eyes make the
most of them by your style of dress.
If your hair is your sole claim to
beauty, dress in such a fashion that
everybody notices your hair. That
does not mean it should be conspicu-
Gus. Far from it. But the tone of the
Sh no Sl1ph IN
hair seem to beautify the entire face.
If the pink of your cheeks is alluring
in it's delicacy choose some compile
mentary shade for your dress which
will deepen and emphasize the pink.

study these points, whether she is do.
ing it to help her in the dressmaking
world or for her own personal i'm
provement, Now, take this drawing,
she said, holding up delicate pastel
figure in pale greenish brown, with
yellow dots.
This young woman has yellowish
brown hair, you will observe, and her
cheeks look pale when only the face
is seen, but you notice bright splash
of pinkish trimming on the lower part
of the bodice front. Now this is the
artistic touch which heightens the
color of the cheeks and gives them an
unusual beauty. You will also notice
that the greenish tint of the gown is
the complementary color of her
cheeks, another artistic means OF
heightening her good point"
I'VE must have individuality in
dress" declared Miss Hitchings.
There is far too much dressing alike
here in New York. And for individ-
uality there is nothing better than the
study of the silhouette.
IF women only realized how i'm
portant the silhouette is in presenting
a beautiful appearance they would be
much more particular about the lines
of their skirts, the shape of their coats
and the style of their hats than they
are now. Study your silhouette, side
and front, at every angie, and you will
soon find where the lines can be I'M

HINTS ON HOUSE FLOWERS.
A Manhattan Student Tells How to
Grow Winter Plants.

Everyone likes flowers in the win.
attempt to keep them. They complain
of their poor luck and say plants are
too hard to care for.
Keep plants Wei "atered. Many
persons will pour little water on a
plant, enough to soak in an inch or
two, and wonder that the plants do
not grow. The trouble Is that the
growing part of the plant receives no
nourishment. Plants should be wa
tered every day and in such way
that the roots get plenty Of moisture.
The soil should be rich. Care should
be taken in placing flowers near a
window. Remember the upper sash
is warmer than the lower.
Asparagus ferns and sword ferns
are very good winter plants. They
must be kept moist and be closely
watched for the red spider.
Primroses require much care. They
should be changed from one pot to an
other until in a pot five or six inches
Ill diameter. i ne atmosphere SlOulu
be cool, about So degrees. They should
be kept well watered.
The umbrella plant, the cyclamen
the geranium, the petunia, all will
thrive in the winter if attention is
given them.
Heliotropes need especial attention
The soil should be rich and the room
warm and the plant kept where it will
get lots of sunshine. The soil should
be kept just on the verge of drying
out and differs from other soils in this
respect.
Palms need moist heat. They are
among the most difficult plants to care
for in the winter. Coal gas otter
proves fatal to them. They always
should be kept moist.
Begonlas are the best plants for win
ter. Their foliage is beautiful ant
the coloring on the leaves is as dainty
as that on the flowers when they
bloom. Good soil and plenty of water
! will make them grow
