A DESCENT FROM THE CLOUDS IN
RED TIdHTs. 1t may not be general
Iy known that John d. Rockefeller
Forest Hill estate is wonderfully ex-
elusive, and its precincts are con-
stantly guarded by a Gordon of
guards, with strict injunctions to al
low no invasion from man, woman or
child. but nothing in the printed
rules seemed to apply to an incident,
Saturday, when Miss Gertrude
Thomas, girl in red tights from
Luna Park. sailed majestically within
the iron palings. Miss Thomas ex-
planned. a long, thin man found
me. | saw him. but was too dazed
from my landing to care what he did
He turned back when he got the first
glimpse Miss Thomas blushcd
here, for she herself suspected the
apparition of u pretty girl wearing
red tights lying in the copse of John
d. Rockefeller might well be enough
to startle any Waterman.
A sTATUEsQUE beauty. Mrs. Ida
Van ClauSsen, entered the business
Office of the United States Mortgage
and Trust Company of New York,
last Saturday, and by physical efforts
tried to enforce a demand for 5000
she claimed was owing to her.
While strenuous, however, they were
unsuccessful. She knocked down the
President and Vice President of the
institution before she was finally
overpOwered and led away by hast
lily organized corps of tellers, cash
iers and book keepers. AS her de-
mand is said to exist only in her
mind, she will probably have to sub
init to having her brain fixed before
she is again allowed to be at large.
She is the same woman who a few
years ago gained considerable noto-
riety from having invaded the White
! House to collect $1,000.000 which
she claimed, President Roosevelt
owed her.

IT WAS Nor THE INFLUENCE OF
MONEY THIS TIME.-It cost Charles
e. Claypool 81, 1874. 80 to aspire" for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress from the Second District. It
cost Stanton Warburton "a, Ill. 10,
but he was nominated. Burke is
said to have spent 100000 and
was defeated. In fact, it seems to
have fallen out that piling up costs
had very little to do with influencing
the election, and it is notable that
despite the boasted power of the
press many of those who received
the support of the big dailies were
doomed to defeat. The people are
indeed doing their own own thinking.

THE Jolly Entertainers" a band
of boys and girls ranging in age
from six to sixteen years, from the
Orphans Home, at De Moines, lit
tie town on the Sound, midway be-
tween Tacoma and Seattle, gave a
street concert Sunday. on their re-
turn home from Shelton, where they
had been on a concert tour. Their
music for such young performers,
was excellent, and the contribution
from the bystanders was liberal, ag-
gregating over SIS. At its close the
proprietor Of Tony Faust restaurant
invited the youngsters to dine with
him. and after partaking of a
square meal. they departed on the
noon steamer for Tacoma.

WOMAN AS A BOor- BLACKER.
Spokane has o woman who makes an
excellent living out Of maintaining a
shoe-shining stand. in the lobby of a
big Office building. And why rot :?
She is q general favorite, is treated
with great deferance. and has de-
clined a dozen propositions of mar
riages, since she has adopted this
method of making respectable liveli-
hood. No, my name is not Holland.

myself madame. After my husband

eyes failed and l had to give up the

NON-RUsTLING SKIRTS. item
of interest to women is that petit
coats are now made so as not to rustic
in walking. 1t is claimed that I'M
dergarments are not so self-assertive
as formerly and do not swish with
the old-time pride. Soft silks are
favorite material, and chastened tat
feta. robbed of all stiffening is quite
popular with many and wears well.
The change affects the cost consider
ably but that is OF little moment
when it conflicts with the decree of
Dame Fashion. The very soft silks,
thin, light of weight, clingiag, are
the favored materials, but extrem-
lists have gone even further than
this in subdOing the petticoats as
sertiveness and have had only ac-
Gordon plated or shirred founces
Of silk mousseline, chiffon or other
sheer stuff below the knees, the up
per skirt being of silk which ends
abruptly, leaving the very soft,
fluffy founce without foundation
and consequently incapable of inter-
fering with the prescribed narrow
ness and limpness of the modish
skirt bottom. Lace flounces are
used in the same way and, like the
other sheer founces. may be trimmed
with ribbon or with tiny ruchings.

Orchard Pest Threatens the State.

The tour of the State College
Railway Farming Demonstrations
through western Washington has
brought to light She presence of an
orchard pest which is Il serious one,
and one which gives every evidence
of an increasing prevalence. This is
the shot-hole borcr," which is a
small. black, beetle-ike insect with
rather a long head and forepart.
and which has the habit of playing
possum - when disturbed Generally
it is little less than quarter of an
inch in length. When possuming"
it folds its legs very closely under its
body, thus making it look like a small
piece of dirt or a black piece of wood.
1t is thus rather difficult to see.
The shothole borer bores its way
through the bark Of the tree, leaving
a small hole about as large as me-
diumsize darning needle. The borer
can best be found by examining sick
or unthrifty trees. After entering
the tree, it either girdles the tree at
once. working in the newly made
wood or cambium region, (the first
ers between wood and bark or bores
directly into the solid wood of the
tree. In the case of the griddle limbs
it requires but short time for the
attack of the borer to be noticeable.
Where the insect bores directly into
the hard wood. the injury does not
show up so strongly. Either method
of attack will ultimately be fatal to
the tree. The leaves will turn yellow
or wilt slightly. One of the most
common places for it to be. is in
the vicinity of crotches, where the
branches leave the trunk of the tree.

crime that IS It's output. And today, we, who
represent thevoting citizens ask and challenge
the saloon element to comet forth and through
and by the press or on the platform of this
county show cause why the saloon shall again
be set up in our midst. And we ask the Ex-
ecutive officers who claim to represent the
Local Option campaign to show cause why so
powerful body as the Anti-Saloon League
has proven itself shall not join forces with us.
The time is here for every true citizen to put
their shoulders to the wheel and in no uncer-
tain tone go forth in solid phalanx against the
re-establishment of the saloon in Cecil county.

What Is The Matter !?

In the editorial column of the last JoryRNAT
we noted the comment on the action of the
County officers of the so-called Local Option
Committee Of Cecil county, and as citizen /
would ask the said officers as speedily as
possible to make clear statement to the
people Of this County as to why the Anti
saloon League has been told ito get out and
stay out Of the present lssue.''
When said committee of twenty-seven was
organized, the Anti-Saloon League was to
form part Of the working body. Upon in
quiry from one of the County Committee. we
were told the officers wanted to keep it out of
politics. Ever since the first saloon was plant
ed on American soil it has been intrenched
behind political parties and that answer will
not satisfy the people who are again in the
light against the saloon. We were never more
In earnest than now, never more determined
that the saloon shall not be opened in Cecil
county. And we, the people, demand a full
and clear explanation from these county on
GERS. We have not the time for petty dis
gruntled office seekers to put up a fight
through our Local Option campaign. The
liquor element long ago moved its working
force into Cecil county and today in secret
session is working out its hellish plans.
We are told whiskey is shipped in here-that
ls true. We have prohibitive laws along all
LINES OF shining and not one is entirely pre-
ventive. All that is bad goes on to a certain
extent IN Cecil county, but what sane person
would say to repeal these prohibitive laws.
what we need is more men who will place
principle above business, men who will demand
the enforcement of existing laws.
For more than three score years / have
Watched the workings Of the saloon in our
midst and have seen naught but crime and
misery as their output. We are told that the
owners Of tavern property have lost heavily
VINO paid for these properties that we should
seek for their reimbursement What equiva-
lent did the man ever received that patronized
their business. What equivalent has or will
Rising Sun receive from them but drunkards,
poverty and all the evils that follow in the
wake Of Rum. And it is that we NAV be
spared this, that we may be spared the heavy
taxes that the traffic brings, for never yet did
