CEMETERIES FOR DOGS.
They Have Become Recognized Insti.
tutions in Many Eastern Cities.

New York World: Every dog has
his day. But every dog is not buried
like a human being when that day is
passed and he joins his canine breth
rem in the hereafter.
Following the example which
France set many years ago when the
Ravageurs cemetery was laid out, and
which London took up in establishing
an elaborate burying ground at Hyde
park, London, in the United States
people have interested themselves in
the burial of dead pets.
In nearly every state in the east a
dog cemetery or cemeteries have been
laid out. In New York state there
are two or three. The New York Ami
NAL Cemetery company, which keeps
Kanis Ruhe, or Canine Rest has laid
plans for a cemetery at Yorktown
Heights, Westchester county, which
will be exclusively for the interment
of dogs.
Already the pets of many prominent
New Workers have been buried there.

Mrs. Belmont formerly Eleanor Rob
SOM buried her dog in a coffin of
rosewood, and Mrs. Benjamin Thaw
sent her famous toy poodle to this
cemetery when he died.
Edna West, whose pet dog Baby fell
i'll and was chloroformed last year. had
it buried in the dog cemetery at York
town, while Francis Lee, Pat Rooney
and many other theatrical people have
provided graves for pets to which they
were strongly attached.

sELlTrLEs FREIGHT INCREASE.
Santa Fe Statistician Says Proposed
Raise Would Have Little Effect

Chicago, Aug. 31.-James Peabody,
statistician of the Santa Fe system,
belittled the effect of the proposed
freight rate advance when he took the
witness stand in the interstate COM
merce commission hearing today.
IF the proposed advance were to be
put into effect and remain for one
year." said Mr.. Peabody, the Santa
Fee would earn only $4,000 more than
it is earning right now"
Examiner Brown announced that the
hearing would suspend this afternoon
until tomorrow.
The statistician asserted that it is
an accepted principle among students
of railway management that from l to
2 percent of the valuation of roads
should be set apart as sinking fund
for permanent improvements, such as
track elevation, block signals, switches
and depots.

cry, has been the aim for some time
of the creators of modes. The styles
| for la jeune file have been carried
| this season to the point of excess
where they become almost an obses-
sion.
In millinery there are certain mod.
els which it would be the height of
absurdity and folly for their elders
to wear. Nor are these the hats nee
essarily built on the lines of simple
ity, but rather those displaying a GER
tain elaborate picturesqueness, COM
bined with bizarre note of variety
which is really only suitable as a
framework for the childish face, with
its piquant irregularity of feature.
At the same time, so bewitching
and picturesque are some of the latest
hats for children that it will not be
astonishing if the main ideas of the
young girl" millinery are stolen by
their mothers and aunts and trans
formed for their own use.
One notion has already been seized
upon and is used just as much on mil
linery for the grownups as for the
young girl. This is the idea of en-
broidering or painting flowers, leaves
or birds on the fabric of the hat it.
self, pretty fashion that is evidently
destined to receive much attention.
For the approaching autumn the
beautiful reds of the hips and haws
and rowan berries have been adopted
for children's millinery. A very strik-
ing and successful instance Is seen
in round hat built something on the
lines of bonnet, in tuscan colored
straw, trimmed with broad band and
bows of striped ribbon in tones of
ivory and black and completed with a
piquant bunch of red hips and haws.
Chief among the picturesque mod
els is the sunshade hat, type of mil
linery which explains itself and one
which enable child to dispense with
parasol. This hat completely en-
circles the whole head, coming well
down over the shoulders and throw.
ing shadows over the cnHd's face.
Another pretty item that is being
used for children's millinery is the
hanging chain of grelots, those tiny
wooden balls used as fringes on the
tunics and frocks. The latest novelty
is to cover the grelots with cases of
crocheted silk or wool, and as these
are seen in all hues it may be mag
ined what vivid touches of color can
be given to millinery when chains of
grelots are used for trimming
Especially in conjunction with the
new motor hats for children are these
grelots applied, hanging in clusters
from the left side and forming a deco
ration that is suited for the childish
face only. The motor hat itself is of

FREMONT JAIL DELIVERY.
Peter Murnineham Escapes But other
Prisoners Decline.

Fremont, Neb., Aug. 81. - Assisted
by several other prisoners, who them
selves refused to escape, Peter Muir
ningham, an 1S-yearold boy, success
fully broke Jail Sunday night. Muir
ningham was confined in the county
jail pending decision as to whether or
not he should be sent to the reform
school. During the storm the prison
ers pried loose bars covering a win
dow high up in the Jail room and let
Murningham out. The noise of the
wind prevented Deputy Sheriff Condit
from hearing the racket. The other
prisoners were all short-time men and
would have gained little by attempting
a getaway. Confined in steel cells in
the Jail were George Osborne, con-
fessed murderer, and several other
convicts whose offenses were of
more or less serious nature. These
men, however, had no chance to es-
cape. The Jail is, however, at present
so crowded that it was necessary to
put some prisoners in the corridor,
from which access to the window was
easy. The window was the means by
which several men got away from the
Jail several months ago.

Then Mr.. Gaynor struck a tremen-

that, as the excise law provides, the
police should require all saloon keep
ers to have the windows of their bar
rooms uncurtained and unobstructed,
so that everything within should be
clearly seen from the sidewalk. Po-
licemen were forbidden, on pain of
dismissal to enter saloons for the pur-
pose of making excise arrests, but
were instructed to take notes of what
they saw from the outside, swear to
their statements and turn them over
to tn proper authorities for prosecu-
ton. That made it impossible for a
policeman to become rich by black

MASK OF COMEDY HIDES GRIEF.
Trixie Friganza Sings and Laughs on
Stage, Knowing of Death of Baby.


Milwaukee Sentinel: Were sure of
your success. Baby held thumbs for
you until 11:15 o'clock, when she
died"
Thus began the lettergram which
came to TriXie Friganza, who headA
the cast in The Sweetest Girl in
Paris" Tuesday morning, and'between
the lines of the message is revealed
one of those tragedies of stage life
Of which the public so seldom knows.
Baby" is Miss trlganza's adopted
daughter little Margaret Friganza,
whose coming into the world a few
weeks ago cost the life of its girl
mother, to whom Miss Friganza had
been protector as well as older sister
since the death of their parents. 1t
was to make home for this younger
sister that Miss Friganza built her
house at Bensonhurst by the Sea, a
home which the young girl did not
leave when she was married about a
year ago.
This summer the premature birth
of the baby caused the death of the
young mother, who had always been
frail, and in her grief Miss Friganza
had the child given to her legally,
intending to lavish on it all the love
and care with which she had surround
ed its mother. Leaving the infant in
the care of trained nurse and an
other sister, she came west to begin
rehearsals in the Askin production
and on last Thursday came the first
intimation of the childs danger. She
pleaded to be allowed to go east for
few hours, but determined to sacri-
flee her personal feelings when it was
pointed out to her that her absence
on the final days of rehearsal would
mean a postponement of the produc-
ton, costly proposition for both the
management and company.
Sunday night, after the last curtain
had fallen on the successful premiere.
the coincidence, who a moment before
had been laughing and singing gayIy
on the stage, rushed to her dressing
room with the tears streaming down
her face.
MY baby is dying, my baby is dy-
ing, and ! can't be with her" she
sobbed to a friend who had gone back
of the stage to greet her.
In the eastern home at that mo-
ment the spirit of the child, who Miss
Frlganza likes to think held on until
after the successful first performance
was over had taken flight. Members
OF the family thoughtfully delayed the
sad news until Tuesday morning. the
time set for the funeral. And Tues
day night Miss Friganza, appearing as
dashing widow, kept the audience at
the Pabst in merry mood by her Jest
ing her smile and her songs.
For the mask of comedy often hides
an aching heart.

THIN ScARFS THE THING.
MousseIne de Sole Being Used in the
Capes for Smart Costumes.

Capes for Smart Costumes.
New York, Sept. l.-Even the long
nantes which one sees at fashionable
places afternoons and the scarfs and
capes thrown around the shoulders of
smart costumes are made of transpar
ent materials, more often than not of
mousseline de sole. The Russian
blouse even is made in this style, with
bands of satin to give it sufficient
body to keep its outlines.
Such a blouse of white mousseline

and the coat, distinctly longer at the
back than the front, was belted with
blue patent leather. A long scarf of
blue satin, lined with white satin, was
thrown over the shoulders and the
huge fiat hat was of blue horse hair,
with a great butterfly bow of satin, the
color of the scarf.
Two shades of mousseline de sole,
one over the other, with a banding
of black satin is one of the latest man
ifestations of the scarf. Scarfs such
as one sees in portraits of empire

that are the thing for evening. Some

TAX COMMISSION
MEETING CALLED.
New Body Will Assemble at
Capitol on Morning OF
June 2S.
"euMsHoE" BOARD CALLED
Organization to Be Consummat-
cd--Increase in Richmond
and Hcnrico Capital.

| Governor Mann yesterday issued q
call for the first meeting of the Nir-
ginia Tax Commission, to be held i'll
his office at 10 o'clock on the morning
of Tuesday, June rs. The commits
sion goes into Office on June Is, the
date the act creating 1t becomes effec-
tive.
This body Is composed Of the follow
ing: William Hodges Mann as Cover
nor of Virginia, j Taylor Eliyson as
President of the Senate, Richard Eve
Ign Byrd as Speaker of the House Of
Delegates, Robert r. Prentis as chair
man of the State Corporation Commits
sion. George 3. Keezel as chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee. and a.
NJ. Bowman as chairman Of the House
Finance -nommlttee.
1t will be the duty of the commits
sion at its first meeting TO select a
tax expert, to become a member of the
body. at a salary of not exceeding 5000
a month. This expert will make a
study of the tax laws in Virginia and
other States, and will advise with tho
commission relative to the presentation
to the next Legislature of a complete
set of statutes covering the problem
of taxation.
Many of the foremost men in the
State believe that the entire system in
vogue is utterly antiquated and inef-
ficient. Segregation of real estate and
license taxes, or, in lieu thereof, an
effective method of equalization, Will
unquestionably be given close atten-
ton. The failure of the last Legisla-
ture to ypass any sort of equalization
law has aroused Indignation in some
quarters. and 1t is believed that the
issue cannot be avoided at the next
session.
