WRAPPED IN A MILE OF SILK.

New York, Oct. 24.-Last year it
was the 5OO-button gown. This year
the spool gown is the latest fashion.
If you are a woman you will think
the spool gown is the most attractive
style of all; if you are man and
you have been congratulating yourself
on deposition of the 500-bGtton frock
you will gasp when obliged to take
twenty minutes to wind your wife up
in the spool dress.
The spool gown derives its name
from its belt, which is nothing more
nor less than a mile of silk which is
wound about the figure after the frock
is put on.
No, the spool dress is not import
ed. For the Ladies' Tailors' associa-
ton has decided to boycott the Euro
pean fashions and Paris is pouting
over the opening of the Third Nation
al Style Show at the Hotel Astor to-
day. Already the president of the as

wireless from France because Ameri-
ca has invented the first official aero

1877 specimens of evening gowns and
tailored suits displayed at the exhi-
bition.
American styles for American wo-
men, is the slogan of the l.. T. A.,

of Paris about them. 1t is the l.. T.

lowing, and have cast off the yoke of

this frock of the future.
The aeroplane costume, of which
there are two specimens, is service

A GIRLS RAPID RISE.
How Miss Nellie Waters Went From
Ranch to a Stellar Role.

HdHCH 10 otelIar HoIe.
From a ranch in Montana to a lead.

production sounds like a big jump.

set awhirl the head of any ambitious
young girl. In THE Flower of the

which ran at the Garrick theater. in
Chicago, 200 nights, and is to visit
this city soon, is little Nellie Waters,
and the part she fills is the most i'm
portant In the play.
Two years ago she was a little II.
year-old girl attending school at Bill
lings, Mont. Her father, a ranch own
er In the southeastern part of the
state, made annual visits to Chicago
In the interests of the stock market.
1t was during one of the visits that
Miss Waters, accompanying her ia
Their, became acquainted with Miss Ma.
bel Barrison, who at that time was
playing the part of Flower" in "The
Flower of the Ranch" AS the &C.
workmanship became stronger, Miss
Barrison became attracted by the
young womans beauty, intelligence
and refinement, and approached her
father to allow her to enter the pro-
fession. At the parents approval, Miss
Barrison saw her manager and there
was room made for her in the chorus,
where she developed into a graceful
dancer. 1t was not long thereafter
that the understudy role of Flower"
was entrusted to her, and when Miss
Barrison left the company to enter
vaudeville, Miss Waters was assign
ed this most important role. From
her first performance she proved
decided success, not only in her
dances, but she captivated the audi
ence with her grace, magnetism and
gingery dash throughout the play.
Miss Waters will be seen as Flower"
in "The Flower of the Ranch" when
that attraction visits this city next

Berlin, Oct. pa German girl in
Japanese dance has knocked tho
Portuguese crown into the mud.
The siren in the case Is MILE Gaby
Deslis. Her dancing of the "jiu.jitsu
waltz" won the fancy of young King
Manuel of Portugal Then began n
dance of destiny, whose climax is the
ousting of the youthful monarch from
his throne. II is the latest of count
less instances where sovereign has
tossed away u crown for the love OF

Mile. Deslis made a sensation I'm Ber-

ing. Manuel, on II pleasure trip to
the French capital, saw the girl and
promptly went mad over her He
brought her to Lisbon and was seen
everywhere in public with her.
That by itself might have done no
great harm in his subjects eyes. but
he proceeded to heap rich presents
upon her, to load her with Jewels and
to buy everything her tickle fancy hap
pened to crave. Times were hard.
People were Clamorng for work. Hun
ger was more than a mere name in
Portugal When starving men and
women beheld the kings sweetheart
ablaze with diamonds whose price was
wrung from the state and whose equiv
alent in food might have saved many

The nation murmured The king

Manuel, unluckily for his short

by king to foreign dancer. That
Is the amount Manuel is said to have
spent on Mile. Desis' adornment
People, too, who had been turned
out into the streets to starve, growled
when they heard huge suite of rooms
in the royal palace had been assigned
to the jiu-jitsu girl. Stcklers for
morality and etiquette were shocked
to learn that Mile. Deslis accom-.
panied Manuel on his travels.
But Manuel continued to perform
the world-old kingly feat of dancing
on volcano rim. His favorite holi.
day resort was Paris. There, so riot
ously gay was he that the French DO
lice were forced to take him in tow
and to close various famous local re-
sorts whenever he was in the city.
The young kings ministers tried to
gloss over his antics, meeting the pub
lies protests with assurances that
this was last bachelor fling" and
that presently Manuel would marry
and settle down into a paragon of roy
al propriety.
The excuse did not serve. Manuel
continued to spend most of his time
with Mile. Deslis, shutting his ears to
all complaints. AS in the case of Hen

Wilson Gets a New Trial.

Lincoln, Oct. 24-The death SEN
tence of George Wilson of Brown
county is reversed by the supreme
court and the case remanded for a
new trial. Wilson was convicted of
the crime of murder in the first de-
gree. The person alleged to have
been killed was Jacob Davis, jr., and
the crime was alleged to have been
committed in Ainsworth. Davis was
brutally murdered near his own door
on the night of December 27, 1909.
There was indication that he had been
robbed He was struck on the head
and the skull fractured and shot
through the head. Davis was never
restored to consciousness and died
within a few hours after receiving his
injuries.
The question of Wilson's connection
with the crime was based on circum.
stantial evidence alone. The prose.
cution offered testimony to prove that
the accused had deserted from the
United States army a short time be-
fore the murder. The supreme court

Experiences There.
A number of Norfolk hunters have
received a letter from w. j. Stadel-
man of Santa Monica Calf, in which
he tells of hunting conditions there as
follows:
Santa Monica, Calf, Oct. 1.-On
account of the extraordinary expert
ence that | had this morning | am
compelled to keep my promise and let
you all hear from me. 1t is the first
of October and the season is open In
California for shooting quail, plover,
ducks, etc. Conditions, of course, in
this country are entirely different than
at nome and one must acquaint him
self with the habits of the sportsmen
in the territory where one lives. All
the duck grounds are controlled by
shooting clubs and the open shooting
is very limited. These clubs are in
some instances quite extravagant af-
fairs, as the initiation fee runs all the
way from 500 to $4,000, and the dues
from $40 to 5000 per year. The $4,000
club owns hundreds of acres of val
liable land and the membership is linn.
tied to twenty-five, consisting of the
plutocrats of southern California. All
clubs have club houses with a care

R0ENTGEN RAY
 EXPERT, VICTIM OF CANCER BURNS

Philadelphia. July 13.-Dr. Mihran K. Kassabian, one of the best known X-ray specialists in the United States died at a hospital here yesterday from skin cancer contracted from burns re- ceived in the course of many years of practice with Roentgen rays.
 In common with practically all other X-ray men, Dr. Kassabian had suffer ed for many years from superficial burns induced by the mysterious en- ergy given off in the X-ray. In 1902, pr. Kassabian's hands were seriously burned, and in 1908 two fingers on his left hand were amputated. Last year an operation was perfo led on his left arm-pit, which had Jeen attack ed by the same malady. Several glands were removed and the wounds were dressed. but they refused to heal, and shortly after a serious operation had to be made on the left pectoral muscles.
 After this operation it was found that the whole left side had been af- fected and the doctors condition was pronounced critical. Ten days ago he went to the hospital in a dying con- dition.

YALE STUDENT SECRETLY
 WEDS DIVORCED WOMAN

Winsted, July 13.-Wilbur B. Bron- son, a Yale student, class of 1911, and Mrs. Louisce l.. Barkley, twenty four a divorcee, who gave her home as New York city, but is said to have been engaged in settlement work in New Haven, were married here last night by Justice of the Peace George A. Sanford.
 The couple drove here from Win chester Centre, where the bride has been since July 2, at the farm of Burton Brooks, and after obtaining a marriage license went to Mr. San ford's office, where the knot was tied.
 MT. Bronson has divided his time between his mothers home in Win chester and the Brooks farm since his return from Yale few weeks ago, but so cleverly did the couple guard their love affair that nobody in the Centre even suspected that they were in love.
 Upon their return to the Brooks place last night MT. and Mrs. Bron- son announced their marriage, which caused great surprise.
 The bridegroom's mother has been informed of her sons marriage as she is in New Haven caring for her daughter, who is quarantined there with scarlet fever. The bride is of prepossessing appearance and is a native of Indianapolis.

 It is estimated that the school will start with 100 pupils and that it will not be long before school building and home for the Civic Federation can be built. There are now 5000 Jews in Bridgeport. They have six syna- gogues, 9 fraterna1, religious and benefit organizations, while there are 50 Jewish students in the High school and several hundred in the public schools

POLICEMAN GIVES
 BAPTISM TO BABY
Unable to Obtain Priest, He Claims Mother by Administer ing Sacrament to Dying
 Child

Hartford, July 13.-When Mrs. Jos. Tellegrino, of 225 Market street, sat on the doorstep of her home yesterday afternoon, holding her sickly baby in her arms. the child was suddenly seized with convulsions In her alarm she called to Policeman Charles Daley and asked him to send for a priest to administer the sacrament of bap- tism to the baby, for fear that the in fant was going to die.
 The policeman, Roman Catholic, who had attended St. Joseph's school, some years ago, called up the central police station and transmitted the woman's request for priest who would give baptism, but there was a delay. In the meantime the baby's convulsions became so alarming that the policeman determined to pacify the worried mother and exercise his layman's prerogative of priestly function by giving baptism himself.
 Calling to the mother to bring him a dipper of water, he barred the childs head and tenderly poured on the wa ter, pronouncing at the same time the words of the ritual. After the baptism the mother consented to hay ing the baby sent to the hospital in the automobile ambulance. Last night when she heard the child had died unconscious and in convulsions she was consoled by the thought that the baby had been baptized.
