HE'S NOT BORN
TO BE KILLED
Falling Stone, Explosions and Fire En-
gines Make No Dent in Giuseppe
Ventini.

Wheeling, w v, Nov. l6.-Friends Of
Giuseppe Ventini, the expert shoveler,
are jubilant to-day, and predict great
future for him. They point out that
while Achilles had a vulnerable spot in
his heel, through the medium of which
his downfall was finally accomplished,
Giuseppe does not appear to have weak
spot in his anatomy.
A large rock that fell from the top
of a building hit Giuseppe on the dome
of thought a few weeks ago, but he
merely grinned and did not cease his
shovelmg.
A premature explosion sent Giuseppe
up like an aeroplane, but he landed on
his feet and was at work again in ten
minutes
Giuseppe seemed to thrive under the
rough treatment, but his friends were
not prepared for the evidence of dura-
bility that he gave Sunday night. He
was walking home from his days TON
when a fire engine dashed around the
corner, and before Giuseppe could get
out of the way the wagon tongue hit
him in the pit Of the stomach, leaving
him apparently impaled.
When the horses finally came to a
stop, Giuseppe dropped off the end of
the wagon tongue, rubbed the spot where
he had been struck, grinned and went
on his way.
His friends declare he is fitted to shin.
in football, prize fighting, aviation or
ward politics, and that he is sure to be-
come famous.

Fashions In Brief.

Opera bags are being shown in MORE,
colored with heavy antique tapestry
binding and gold lace trimming. The
frames are square, Of gold or copper,
says Christian Science Monitor.
Fabric handbags are seen in fancy
silks over metal frames, with chain or
silk cord handles. Velvet bags are also
in demand
Empire girdles with long streamers
have again become the mode They are
usually in silk and satin, though rib
bons of these fabrics are also employed
Fancy goods, like garments, in general,
are seen largely in black and white, or
in one Of these two shades
Fabric giniles of strongly contrasting
colors will be worn with separate
blouses.
Cord effects are much used, and both
cordeller and Persian handbags will be
made to match the fashionable gowns
With Persian gowns or turbaus, band
ings Of the same fabric and figuring will
be used as bandeaux or INTERVIEWING for
its couture.
Beaver cloth toques and turbans, eth
or self or velvet trimmed, will be ex
tepsively seen this fall and winter.

venture by the rubber trust is the
theme of a report made by United States
Consul James T. Dubois, at Singapore,
"a big rubber company be says, or
ganized by American capital and now
partially owned BY English capitalists,
hns secured tapping rights over all Of
the government forest reserves in the
federated Malay states.
"The territory includes about 100000
acres, and the company has obtained
tie right to tap all jelatong trees on
this wide area for a period of ten years,
with a renewal privilege for seven years
more. This company holds also, large
rights in South Borneo, in Sarawak, and
in the Hartman islands They turned
out $4,000 pounds of jelatong last year
aud realized for their recent sales SIPS
pound.
"0n the Kerimon islands. situated a
short distance south of Singapore, the
company is erecting 100000 factory in
addition to the large one now in opera
tion in Sarawak. This factory will
handle all the jelatong received from
concessions outside of Sarawak Ii is
claimed that early in 1911, when the
mills viii be in full operation, they can
produce 100000 pounds of jelatong
gum. 100000 pounds in 1912, and r..
100000 in 1918. These are estimates
made by those interested in this great
enterprise, which promises TO monopolize
the ielatong market"
The dominating interest of the Amer
leans in the concession is indicated by
the fact that Of last years shipments,
l2.s24 tons came to the United States,
600 to Great Britain and 5,095 to con
tnental Europe.

FOR YOUNGSTERS BENEFIT

New York, Nov 16.--Prof. Ernst D.
Richard Of the Germanic department OF
Columbia university, speaking at the an
nual luncheon of the Peace Society of the
City club Sunday, presented the idea
of the interchange OF members Of Ameri-
can and European families in the inter
ests of mutual understanding and educa-
ton.
The idea has been tried out success
fully in Europe, he said, and he knew Of
more than 300 cases where families had
snapped sons or daughters in Germany,
France and England. He proposed the
establishing of bureau to take charge
of the necessary correspondence and ref
erences and arrange for the transporta-
ton Of the young people to be ex
changed
The luncheon was the annual affair
which the society gives to lecturers on
peace subjects Prof Samuel T Dutton
of Columbia, secretary of the society,
told of his visit to Constantinople last
year and said the Turks desired more
things American. He said that the new
government was contemplating sending
commission to this country
Prof Richard amplitied his idea about
interchange between European and
American families The idea is that Mrs.
John Johnson of New York sends her
son, Alfred, to Berlin to live free Of
charge in the family of Mrs. Katrina
Schmidt and Mrs Katrina Schmidt sends
her son, Adolph, to live free OF charge
with Mrs John Johnson. Alfred learns
all about Schopenhauer or forestry, as
the case may be, and Adolph learns all
about how subways should be run
There Is little chance that either could
be i'll treated in the opposite family, be-
cause all he would have to do, whichever
he was would be to write to mother and
tell her to take il out OF Adolph or
Alfred. as the case might be- Incident
ALLY, the languages would be learned of
necessity. and the families themselves
couldn't help getting something from
their visitors.
Prof Richard mentioned other POSSIBLE
tiles Of exchange. such as with France
for art study He is the chairman Of
the peace committee of the National
German-American alliance, and the com
mittee hopes to start some sort of a
bureau to serve rs the medium between
the families. furnishing references, direc-
tions and the like.

The Feminine Pocket.

No longer are we to be the pocketless
sex; fashion has decreed that pockets
are to return to us. In sort of ex-
cess of generosity, she even puts them
whore never pockets have been before
In travelling coats the pockets are
enormous almost as our handbags have
been--and are huttoned over with a
mitered flap, These are the very coats
OF English make, which are welcome at
some time in the winter in every climate
and all the winter in many.
Tailored suits, which never entirely de-
serted the side pocket, with perhaps,
the watch pocket as well, now have
sleeve pockets for car fare, etc, tapped
and buttoned in the approved style.
They are patch pockets, introduced on
the turnback cuff
Under revers, too, and at the side of
tie sailor collar, are more concessions
TO the hitherto pocketless, sometimes
often, in faet-quite respectable in size
and capacity.
But Che straugest good news IS that
Of the skirt pocket Actually il is with
us--eut somewhere so that il does not
interfere with the narrow skirt and the
empire glide" in walking but still
there. Short walking skirts are all
equipped with il. and dress skirts are
rapidly falling into line
Verify, the day Of he pocket is upon
us; praise be TO bencfcent fashion

HUGHES A YOUNG JUDGE.
Youngest on the Bench at the Present
Time-His Prospects.

Washington, d. c., Nov. TO- Should
Associate Justice Charles L. Hughes be
made chief justice Of the supreme court
of the United States, he will not only
be the youngest member of the present
supreme bench, but the youngest presid-
ing Justice, save two, in the history Of
the court. John Jay, appointed in IS9
by President Washington, was at that
time IS years Of age, and John Marshall,
appointed in 1901, was 46. Hughes is
now 4S years old
There have been eight chief justices
since the creation of the court in 1889
Jay, who was 80 at the time of his
selection; Rutledge, Sc; Ellsworth, 81;
Marshall, 46; fancy, 50; Chase, So;
Waite, So; and Fuller, 55.
Every one OF the present justices Of
the supreme court is at least 10 years
older than Hughes Harlan, who has
been presiding iusticZ since Chief Justice
Fuller's death, is 81; White, So; Me
Kenna, 81; Holmes, 50; Day, 81; and
Lurton, SO.
Practitioners before the court have
recalled the history of the first presiding
Justice, John jay. He was selected by
Washington to head the court in 1850,
but resigned shortly after to become
governor of New York Now the court
has claimed the governor of New York,

evening scarfs. Tulle and swansdown
form a beautiful combination.
Brown and tan suede leather shoes
will be particularly good, because Of the
rough-weaye, brown fabrics of these
shades employed in coats and wraps
Hair ornaments decorated with cut
steel and either in gold or silver, or
decorated Herewith, are among the lat
est types of adornment
A recent note in Paris hair dressings
is the employment of Persian or silk
fabrics from which gowns, waists, tur-
bans or other millinery are made as
sort OF bandeaux or INTERVENING for
the couture.
The empire effect girdles, which were
so generally adopted in nearly all sec
tions Of this county about two years
ago, will again come into prominence
this winter.
Plain-colored, satin ribbons made into
rosettes are a fad Of the moment, hail
ing from the Stuart period Of dress
The drum-shaped muf, much larger,
though, than the shape our grandmothers
carried, will be one Of the fashions OF
the coming season.
Girdles and belts of satin are again
fashionable for dresses Of crepe or mar
qusette. They are fastened at the left
side in front and finished with only one
long streamer caught at hem of skirt

TRUSTS IN GERMANY.
Their Ups and Downs Told in Recent
Consular Report.

Consular Report.
Washington. D. c., Nov. l6.-The ups
and downs of trusts in Germany and
the rapid increase in the number OF com
bines are described In a consular report
from Dusseldorf, They call them "syndi-
Gates" in the kaiser's domain, but they
seem to be applying trust methods to
many industries. The report says
"The steel works syndicate appears
to remain permanent German nstitu-
ton, The pig iron syndicate has not met
with the same success, and the Lorraine
Luxembourg syndicate has proven fail
ure. The heavy metal plate manufac-
turers have formed a syndicate which
appears TO have improved prices The
lighter metal plate manufacturers are
at present trying to form a syndicate A
price convention has also been formed
among wire manufacturers wire
and wire nail makers.
"The pipe syndicate has had many
difficulties to contend with; a good num-
Der OF very powerful works did not join
the syndicate and il has been obliged
to fight for it's very existence
"The steel cast goods syndicate has
been renewed both in this district and
in upper SiIesia The rivet syndicate
has been strengthened by number of
new powerful members. The lnterna.
tional Sleeper Kartell has also been
strengthened by the addition Of a mum
Der Of Russian works. The syndicate
movement has also spread to a number
of other metal industries; an interna-
tional zinc furnace syndicate and an
international lead syndicate have been
formed and at present an International
copper syndicate is being formed
"The timber industry has additional
syndicates The match syndicate has
been formed TO safeguard the match
trade, particularly necessary at present,
as the government has placed heavy
taxes IN matches.
Important awalgamstions have taken
place during the last twelve months
Some prominent shipping lines and some
large banks have arualgamated; one of

In Woman'S Realm.
Home Helps.

When carrying oranges for train or
picnic luncheon, good way is to re-
move the skin and seeds at home and
carry the sections wrapped in waxed
papers says Christian Science Monitor,
Alwa:,s keep the pieces OF wall paper
left over after papering a room. Roll
them up and keep in paper box. Then,
when the paper is torn or discolored, it
can be easily pieced.
On wash day when plenty of suds are
left over, plunge all the brooms into the
hot, soapy water, and shake them about
in it. 1t will clean them, make them
more flexible, and greatly prolong their
lives.
Shoes will be kept in much better
shape, If they are rubbed with a little
vaseline at night and then rubbed dry
in the morning. If the shoes are shabby,
little lampblack may be mixed in the
vaseline.
II is a good idea, after buying rug
to bind it on the under edge with stout
Holland or furniture webbing. This
prevents the corners from turning up
and makes the rug wear twice as long
To clean swan's-down, lift up and
down in warm suds made of white soap.
Wash a second time in bluing water,
rinse and shake dry before the fire or in
the sunshine. 1t must be constantly
shaken while drying
TO prevent wooden drawers, doors and
window stills from swelling through
dampness, scrape some paraifine and add
as much benzine as it will absorb. In
dry weather coat the surface of the
wood with this preparation, using a
brush for the purpose. The benzine, it
is said, pentrates the wood, taking with
it enough paraftine to make the surface
smooth.

PEOPLE IN PERIL
Wien Ferryboat Bumped Against a
Pier.

Pier.
Portsmouth, n H., Nov. Is The
ferryboat Kittery. which plies between
this city and Badgers island in connee-
tion with the Atlantic Shore street rail
way line, lost her steam on the 8 o'clock
trip last evening when in midstream and
was swept by the tide up against the
Portsmouth and Kittery bridge.
The boat was berthed at the bridge in
such manner that her passengers,
about so In number, men and women,
were enabled to reach the pier.
None Of the passengers was injured,
although all were given more or less
fright.
The ferryboat hung on at the bridge
until about I0;30 last night, when, with
the assistance of the steamer Alice How.
ard, she was towed back to her berth
at Badgers island. The boat, as far as
can Der ascertained. was not injured.
1t is regarded as narrow escape for
both the boat and her passengers, as
had the tide been running at full
strength serious disaster would have
taken place.

NY '" q SiSslSS
The caves of Kent dcky, of which
the Mammoth cave is the largest
and most famous, are rich in salt
peter. In 1906 DR.. Brown of Lex
lngton, Ky, rode IA thousand miles
on horseback to communicate this
fact to the American Philosophical
society, and SIX or seven years later
the information became of great
service to the government during
the war with Great Britain. Some
time after that "A narrow c~rcvicc
