The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1910-06-23
The Week
i'm Congress


The conference report on the rail-
road bill was presented to the Senate
Tuesday. The Senate divided its atren-
ton between the public land with
lrawal bill and Senator Owens motion
discharging the committee on privi-
leges and elections from the further
consideration of the resolution 'provid-
ing for the election OF United States
Senators by direct vote of the people.
Action was taken upon neither of these
measures. Speeches against the admin
istration's conservation policy were
made by Senator Hughes, of Colorado,
and Hepburn, of Idaho. The House also
received the conference report on the
railroad bill, but the greater part of
the day was devoted to political speech
es. Representative Randell, of Texas,
created a sensation by moving that the
| House recall from the committee on
the judiciary a bill to prohibit Sena-
tors, Representatives and judges from
accepting gifts, compensation, etc., from
railroad, telegraph and other similar
corporations on the ground that Rep
resentative Parker, of New Jersey,
chairman, and other members of the
committee were accepting such gifts,
and by so doing were disqualified from
action on such measure. Mr.. Ran
dell, seeking action on his motion as
privileged, met opposition and the
| Speaker sustained a point of order
which prevented action uDOn it This
action was upheld by the House
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1910-06-23

The Senate Saturday discussed mo-
ton by Senator Bristow to discharge
the committee on the judiciary from
the further consideration Of the reso-
luton providing for the election OF
United States Senators by direct vote
and a motion by Senator Carter to
concur in the House amendments to
the postal savings bank bill. Neither
motion was acted on. The resolution
authorizing an investigation of the
charges made against Senator Lorimer
of Illinois in connection with his cleo
tion was reported favorably from the
committee on privileges and elections
and was referred to the committee on
contingent expenses. The House final
ly disposed of the railroad bill and the
bill granting statehood to Arizona and
New Mexico, only the approval of the
President being required to make them
laws. Both of these administration
measures received a practically unani-
nous vote. The general deficiency bill,
appropriating nearly s6,000,00o, was
also passed

DEATH LIST IN ENGLISH
COAL MINE MAY REACH 800
Recuers Are Forced to Abandon
Their Work Owing to Deadly Gas
Fumes.

MANCHESTER, Eng. Dec. r.
When within eighty yards of the cen
ter of the Pretoria mine of the HUI
ton company, at Leigh, where a dis.
astrous explosion and fire occurred
Yesterday, rescuers were forced TO-DAY
temporarily. to abandon their labors
owing to gas fumes.
1t is believed that there are at
least 200 bodies piled in the center
of the mine.
Owing to the presence OF poisonous
gases, there is no hope that any who
escaped the explosion and fire, have
survived. The officials of the mine
issued a notice that it would be hope
less to expect to find anyone still
alive.
Manager Tonge, who led the rescu-
ing party from the first, was brought
out of the mine today in a critical
condition, suffering from asphyxia-
ton.
Gifts of money. food and clothing
for the families of the victims poured
into Leigh today.
IT is now believed the dead will
reach 800.

Burton attributed the prejudice eN-

people against the stage 10 the lnhu-
ence OF Puritanism, which, In the
seventeenth century, was so strong as
10 close all public theaters for nearly
20 years Only within the last quarter

David Belasco, who has contributed
so largely to the improvement OF the
American stage. is quoted as saying:
There is nothing so shallow, nothing
so dangerous as prejudice. and | may
say that the role OF Laura Murdoch in
The Easiest Way is the bearer OF n

THE SOLDIERS HOME.

Old Glory's brooding wings of love are
spread,
And in the grand seclusion of this
fold,
The remnant hearts of all her nations
Beat muffled drums of hist'ry yet
untold.
There's hist'ry in the waving, frosted
hair,
The drifted echo of memory,
There's hist'ry in the feeble voices
where
We hear the tremor of treble key.
There's hist'ry in the deafened ear
now dead
To every sound of which so dear we
hold,
But from which key the sounder has
never fled
OF reminiscent cannonade of old.
There's hist'ry in the blinded eye now
To every beauty that today we see,
But to which vision there is yet re-
vealed
The deadly flash of powders
misery.
There's hist'ry in the armless sleeve
that hangs
In token of great and bitter strife,
Where hearts are keyed to stole all
the pangs
OF pain that drains the stream of hu-
man life.
There's hist'ry in the legless panta-
loon.
The shrouded mem'ry of a sacred
past,
Where many noble hearts feel in the
swoon
That bushes out the scream of
trumpet blast.
Theirs hist'ry in the trembling, shat
tered nerves,
That dangle with an age-wrought
uuickened breath,
A token of the ebbing life that serves
AS souv'nir from the crucible of
death.
Here rest the shrouds of many blast
ed hope
OF fond ambitions dreams of long
ing crave,
And here the stars of many hero
scope
Are fading in the twilight of the
grave.
Perhaps, here rests some youths cher
ished dream
OF science great unfoldings to the
world;
Perhaps, some human height of truth
supreme
Lies sacrificed to every light un-
furled.
But in the blessed book of human life,
Where every deed proclaims its por-
toned place,
| These sacred remnants of a nations
| strife
Stand e'er an honor to the human
| race.

A Brocade Blouse.

Now is the time to use it, if you
have any rich piece of old brocade re-
posing in an old trunk.
Can't you manage to have it match
your velvet or broadcloth skirt, so
that you may wear it as the French
do?
They cover it with chiffon of the
exact shade, or they bring it into har-
mony with the skirt by the use of a
varying shade of chiffon.
No trimming is used, no pleats are
present. The neck line is slightly
low, the sleeves reach to the three
quarter mark. Around the neck and
sleeve edge there appears the merest
line of plain velvet as finish. This
is elegant simplicity; and, although
chiffon is not easy to handle, it will
be found less difficult because of this
lining of more heavy brocade.

MOURNING JEWELRY IN VOGUE
Must by No Means Be Too Ornate
An Instance of Proper Thing
To Be Worn.

1t is hard for a girl who likes quiet
mourning to get jewelry that suits her
taste Most of 1t is too ornate, or Is
bestudded with pearls, or shows too
much of the gold Innings.
A dog collar that is being worn by
a girl in the deepest Grape is in par
ticularly good style. 1t is made of
onyx set in gold, but in such way
that none of the shining metal shows.
The form of the collar is groups of
five oval sections set horizontally one
above the other between square, up
right sections deep enough to hold the
cross pins in place. The horizontal
parts are pointed at each end and
about the size of an ordinary cuff pin.
This collar fits closely about the
throat and can be worn on the outside
of the gown or on the bare neck. In
having such an ornament made to or
der the number of the cross pins can
be varied to suit the length of the
neck

IMPROVEMENT IN THE BANG
Loose Fringe Of Curls Has Taken
Place of the Severe Cut Once
So Much Worn.

While the bang is back, 1t, like most
revivals, would scarcely be recognized
by its forerunners of the late eighties.
No longer does one make herself a
fright with the severely plain fringe
of hair completely concealing the fore
head and looking as if it had been cut
around a crock.
The modern bang is loose, frizzy
fringe of curls worn along the top Of
the forehead to soften the effect of
masses of bought braids. Sometimes
it is worn under the ribbon fillet, in
deed, should be, if the wearer con-
suits becomingness.
AS most women object to cutting
their own hair to suit passing fash
ion, no one should venture playfully
to pull his lady loves curl that hangs
in the middle of her forehead. To
his modification and her rage the
fringe and the girl may part company.
For women with big foreheads and
hair scant on the temples the bang is
a boon, as it is undeniably becoming
and softens the face.

over collar also being trimmed with

Dyeing Lac&s.

To color very delicate French lace,
which is usually silk, it may be
stretched with thumbtacks upon a
board, with clean white blotters be-
meath it, and painted with gasoline and
oil paint made very thin.
This is done when laces are so ten
der that they would not stand dipping
and wringing.
A broad, new varnish brush is used
for the painting of lace, and the proc
ess is most delicate one, involving
great care.
The Colorado statesman., 1910-03-19

Materials required: Six and onehali
yards 46 inches wide, 21s yards in
sertion, 21a yards lace, three yards
ribbon.
Coat for Day or Evening Wear
Face cloth of firm texture is the most
suitable material for this coat. The
drawing gives the effect of the sleeves
being cut in with the coat; but in
reality they are separate; both cen
ter back and front are slightly drawn
in by band of embroidery, which in
front end under the revers. These
are faced with black silk, which is
smart with almost any color.
The sleeves are trimmed with tas-
sells. The edges of the opening at the
sides are connected by cords and but
tons.
The coat is lined throughout with
silk.
Materials required: Four and one
half yards So inches wide, 20 buttons,
about five yards cord, nine yards IL
ming silk, three-quarters yard silk for
facing revers, four tassels.

course, Captain Pitts had to have hay
on which to feed and fatten tho cattle
and, OF course, he had to have the
corn to fatten tho porkers on IT, and
1t goes without saying that he grew
these things on the rich river bottoms.
What Captain Pitts has done other
farmers in that region can do. There
is no good reason why these James
River lands may not keep Richmond
and all OF the Virginia cities In good
beef and good pork and good bacon
We are not dependent on the West for
meat. II Virginia farmers will go at
the thing right.
Here Is another most interesting
item furnished by this good Scots
VILE, friend of the Industrial Section
and his name Is DR.. Joseph p. Blair
He says: Mrs. ]. r Thomas. OF Church
HILL on December shipped TO Ohio a
coop OF turkeys which netted her So
per turkey. She also recently sold
ten young turkeys of her own raising
for s45."
Just think of that will you: Viz
ginia turkeys netting So per turk in
Ohio, and then those young turkeys
that netted very nearly as much RICH,
at home. What is IT that is good that
old Virginia can't raise. and raise It
better than anybody else can?

HOG AND HOM|NY
IN OLD VIRGINIA
1t Pays to Raise Meat, Hogs,
Cattle and High-Priced
Turkeys.

A valued friend OF the Industrial
Section gives some cheering notes from
that James River part of old Abe
marie county, of which the live and
vigorous town Of Scottsville is the
capital, in tim which he shows that
Virginia grown hogs, Virginia grown
cattle and Virginia cultivated turkeys
are worth their weight In good cash
when they are properly reared, prop
erly prepared and made ready for the
market. This friend says: Captain
John L. Pitts. ono of the most pros
porous farmers of this good section of
the upper James River country. has
just killed twenty-five fine hogs. Seven
of these splendid porkers weighed 200
pounds and eighteen of them averaged
$50 pounds each. a short time ago
Captain Pitts shipped to the Richmond
market $500 worth of live hogs and
$500 worth of fat cattle"
Well, now that Is something new for
the regions OF the upper James. OF
