Black velvet with lace is another
charming combination. Spanish lace,

by strips and panels of velvet that
gives a rich body to any flmy gown

exclusively for sashes, either fringed
or without fringe.
The latest French fashion is in
striped goods. fine stripes of white on
pink or blue on green, or black on

used as trimming on morning and tall

Honesty is nothing to brag
about and still why these
blind cipher marks? A mer-
chant that has not the cour-
age to mark his goods in
plain figures, is either
ashamed of his prices or he ID
not honest. You can't help
but admit that you loose all

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in,
furious effects Of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit Of others.
A superintendent Of public schools
in a Southern state says: MY moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for number
of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago I was making an Of
fetal visit to distant part of the
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants Of the place. 1 noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor Of the cOf-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum. l was SO
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, I bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it SO well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt SO.
much better than she did prior to it's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as we'll
and hearty as the rest of us. ~
81 know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members Of the fam.
lily, but in a more marked degree in
the case of my mother, as she was
victim of long standing"
Ever read the above 1etter7 A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.

WOMAN AND THE PIN.

It was in a deductive way that the
captain found out that Ethel Clare
LIE Neve, the supposed accomplish CT
DR.. Crippen, was a girl though she
was dressed in boys toys. She had
supplied a missing trousers button
with a safety pin. The method was
entirely feminine, says Cleveland
Leader. A boy would have borrowed
marlfne spike or a nail, or whitfield
wooden peg. This dramatic use OF
the safety pin again focuses the az
tentton on woman's marvellous capac.
ity as a pinster Give her a hat pin
and she can alright footpad or lure
olives from long-necked bottle,
with equal ease. She makes it deco
ed street car it Is as fearsome
weapon as the kris of a Malay run
ming a-muck. But her chief record Is
made with the common or garden pin.
She fastens buttons or shoes with 1t
and when baby swallows the rattle,
harpoons that out with a pin. If
tornado blows and the shingles are
threatened she crawls out on the roof
and pins them down. Writers OF
those fascinating summer stories in
which man and lovely girl are cast
away on a South sea island miss the
chance of their lives when they do
not provide the heroine with a paper
Of pins as her salvage from the
wreck

Is the speedy motor car an obsta-
Gle to punctuality? 1t would seem SO.
Certainly the habit of arriving late at
the theater and other places Of enter
tainment is growing with the multi
plication Of the means of rapid trans
portation. 1t is seldom that play
DIT program is not marred or interrupt
ed by these late arrivals. And the
disturbance is greater where motor
cars carry the larger number of the
attendants. Does this mean that those
who have to depend on the street cars
are more apt to give themselves rea-
sonable time than are those who
have gotten into the habit of think
Ing that neither time nor distance
counts when the automobile is avail
able? At any rate the habit is bad
one.

BLAMES BANK EXAMINERS.
Comptroller Says They Are Respon
sible for Many Failures.

Washington. - Following the shift
ing Of twenty bank examiners to
new districts, Comptroller of the
Currency Murray announces he is
about to make a personal inquiry into
the conditions of the various exam
ination districts
In deciding upon this course of &C.
ton, the controller in a statement ad-
dressed to examiners, said:
In almost every case of national
bank failure since I have been con-
troller the insolvency could have been
averted had the national bank exam
iner determined the true condition and
reported his findings in time for me
to force correction in the admins
tration Of the banks affairs
After citing that examiners Of failed
banks had offered excuses that they
had been unable to learn in advance
Of a banks true condition, that of.
ficers and directors of banks would
not correct conditions brought to their
attention, or any one of another dozen
reasons, Mr.. Murray in his statement
says:
Many Of the examiners state in
their reports of examinations, forward
ed to the controllers office, that it Is
a hardship not only on the examiner,
but upon many of the members Of the
directory of country banks, to ask the
various boards to meet with the ex-
aminer during the progress or at the
close of the examination.
This investigation by the controller
and his chief Of the division of re-
ports is also an investigation into the
methods employed by every national
bank examiner, and upon seeing them
make an examination of several banks
and afterward holding meeting of
the directors, he will be able to de-
termine who of his examining force,
if any, are inefficient"

COL. ISAAC L. ELLWOOD EXPIRES.
Barb Wire King Stricken by Fatal
Paralysis at DekaIb.

Chicago. - Col. Isaac L. Ellwood,
one of the most prominent figures
in the life of Illinois since the
early '7Os and the richest man in Illi-
nois, died Sunday night at his resi-
dence in De Kalb, H., after an illness
of more than two months.
Since the death Of his wife nine
weeks ago Colonel Ellwood had been
sinking rapidly and physicians at no
time have even hoped for his recov-
cry. The illness from which he was
suffering was Of a paralytic nature
and attacked him a few days after
the funeral Of Mrs. EllWoOd.
Colonel Ellwood was a pionee-
manufac turer Of barbed wire fencing,
and to the expansion Of that industry
with the subdivision of the great
ranches of the west into farms, he
owes his fortune. Aside from his
wealth and his industrial activity,
Colonel Ellwood became one OF the
best known men in the state through
his political and financial affiliations.

TEN CRUSHED TO DEATH
In JERSEY CITY TUNNEL
in, lmprisoning Workmen Under
Mass of Stone.

Jersey City. N. J. = By the fall
Of hundreds of tons of Palisade
rock through the broken roof of the
old Erie railroad tunnels ten work
men were crushed to death and nine
others were seriously injured
The dead and injured formed part
Of gang Of twenty-eight hard rock
men who were removing the noun
tain Of stone above the tunnels to
transform them into open "cuts" as
was recently completed on other
tracks adjacent. Somebody either
Numbered in blasting which weakened
the brick roof Of the tubes, or there
was an unsuspected fault in the rock.
The Erie tunnels were driven
through the solid rock of the Palisades
about fifty-three years ago and round
ed with five courses of heavy brick,
mortared. Two months ago, after
three years hard work, the Willard
Construction company completed the
opening Of the passenger tunnels
now known as the Bergen cut. The
Erie company itself concluded to open
the freight tracks on it's own account
and placed it's own engineers and
workmen in charge. Mr.. Moorshead
had charge of the general plans and
Smith was superintendent Of the
Workmen.
Working In three shifts of eight
hours each, the gangs had cut down
to the tunnels for a distance of more
than 60 feet and they had removed all
the upper rock for the whole length
of the work to within 80 feet of the
brick below.
Twenty-eight men were employed in
cleaning up the debris left by the drill
ing and blasting when there came
first crashing report, then a sway
ing and tossing of the solid rock, a
thunderous report like park Of ar
tillery and after that there was a

Francis A Fowler, also indicted,
was reported i'll by his counsel, who
promised to bring him il as soon
as he was able to come. Representa-
lions were made that Louis T. Swift
and Thomas J. Connors will give the
required bonds on their return from
Europe, which will be within a few
days.
The judge did not require the per-
sonal appearance of the packers in
court. The indicted men were repre-
sented by Levy Mayer, John S. Miller
and George T. Buckingham.
The court stipulated that each pack
er be held under bond of $4,000 on
each count of the Indictment, thus
making the total bond Of each defend
ant $4,000, and the aggregate Of the
bonds Of the ten packers 100000.
Attorney Miller pleaded with Judge
Lands for reduction of the bond
to $4,000 on each count, as was the
case when the packers were indicted
five years ago. Assistant District At
torney James H. Wilkerson objected
to the proposed reduction, and the
court fixed the amount to $4,000.

PERISH IN THE LAKE.
TWenty-nine Die When Car Ferry No.
10 Founders of Sheboyoan.


Milwaukee. Twenty-Five lives
were lost in Lake Michigan when
the Pere Marquette's car ferry, No. IS,
sank from unknown cause twenty
miles off Sheboygan, Wis.
1t is declared one Of the worst ma
rlne disasters in the history Of Lake
Michigan navigation. The boat was
valued at 100000, and the cargo.
which included thirty-two loaded cars,
estimated to be worth s150.000.
Car ferry No. Is was bound from
Lud1ngton to Milwaukee with a full
cargo OF SO cars, consisting Of II cars
OF coal and Fl of miscellaneous freight.
1t was making its first trip after 80
days under charter to a Chicago ex.
curslOn company
At the sacrifice OF two of her own
seamen, and after terrible hours of
struggle the steel car ferry Pere Mar
quette No. II, which went to the as
sistance Of No. Is, reached this port
with three dead, and twenty-nine sur
vivors Of the crew Of her sister ship.
Twelve Of the rescued were in one
of the ships boats, the remainder
were clinging to the wreckage or
floating about buffeted by the debris
The catastrophe occurred approx
mately thirty miles off from Port
Washington. No. II, bound from Mil
waukee for Ludington, reached the
wreck just as the No. Is sunk out of
sight. Several miles away a lone
boat was fioundering in the surge and
swell of the waves, and on all sides
were the shrieks and screams Of the
poor wretches soaked through and
through with the almost ice-cold water
and gripped by the strong winds
Only few had time to dress.
The Pere Marquette No. 20, out
from Ludington bound for Milwaukee
and manned by crew most of whom
come from the same city as those on
the sunken vessel, was the third craft
to reach there. Just prior to it's ar
rival the fishing tug Tester, out from
Port Washington, had picked up six
dead, among them Capt. Kitty, which
were transferred to the No. IL and
taken back to Ludington.
In marine circles it is believed that
the string of twenty-eight cars be-
came loose as the ferry was buffeted
about and that the water rolled into
the vessels stern, which is wide open.
This seems plausible in view of the
fact that the sea was rolling from
the north, the most dangerous on
Lake Michigan, while the steamer was
heading southwest by south
The Inflated car ferry, which has
contributed the first fall disaster on
the lakes this year, was built in Cleve-
land twelve years ago at a cost Of
S450,00O. 1t was fully insured, as
were the cars and contents.
Three steamers have reached here
from the scene Of the wreck, but only
wild theories are given as to the
cause of the wreck

special federal grand jury that has
been investigating the beef trust" by
direction of Judge Kenesaw NJ Landis
These indictments were returned into
court, each against the same ten de-
PENDANTS, with a total of seven counts
and they charge violations of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Three indictments, the first one con-
tanning five counts and the others one
each, were returned before Judge
Kenesaw M. Lands, who empaneled
the grand jury two mouths ago.
The maximum penalty for each vio-
lation Of the Sherman act is a fine of
$4,000 or Imprisonment for one year,
or both.
The indictments charge that all of
the defendants have engaged in a COM
bination in restraint of interstate
trade in fresh meats, that they have
engaged in conspiracy in restraint of
trade and that they have monopolized
the trade in fresh meats by unlawful
means.
The indictments cover 125 pages of
typewriter matter. They go into
every angle Of the packing industry
in this country and contain the allega-
ton that IS per cent. of the fresh
