Heat Killed Strong Man
Charley Jefferson, Formerly of Barnum Circus, Had Lost
 $3O,00O in Wall Street

New York, July 14-Friends of Char lie" Jefferson, the strong man of the old Barnum & Bailey circus, 25 years ego, who dropped dead from the heat at Third avenue and Fourteenth street on Wednesday evening, are expecting the arrival here today of William Jef- ferson, his brother, in response to a telegram sent to his home at Cam bridge, N H. The message to Jef- ferson's brother was sent by a. group of old-time theatrical performers who reside in the boarding houses for act ors along East Fourteenth street.
 Jefferson, after his feats as strong man for the Barnum show and later for the Barnum & Bailey show, were over, retired. He served for time as a sculptor's model, in which capac- ity he posed for St. Gaudens for sev- eral figures, one of which took a. prize in Paris. Of this fact he was always very proud. For time after retir- ing from circus life he was comfort ably supplied with money, but through unfortunate investments he dissipated about $3O,OO in Wall Street in a sin gle year.
 Jefferson was about feet 2 inches tall, and in his best days had remark able strength. He snapped chains linked around his chest, lifted enor- nous weights and was one of the at fractions of the circus in the days when side show performers had their greatest vogue. His first circus job was as an acrobat, but he drifted nat uraly into feats of strength.
 Fred Burton, once celebrated trick performer on high wheel bicycles, had been a friend of Jefferson for many years. Burton said yesterday that when the strong man quit the circus business he took with him at least SEQ GOO

Dr. Wiley Fighting Mad Over Report
 Of His Beheading

Washington, July 14.-'1 wouldn't advise anyone to wait around my of fee to see me put out. There's no tell ing how long that will be-"
 This was the militant attitude as- stunned by Dr. Harvey w., Wiley, the governments chief chemist, relent- less prosecutor of food adulterators and quacks. The doctor was fight ing mad, to-day, over the latest re- ports of his decapitation. The spe- cific charges agaianst him, as formu- lated by the department of agricul- ture committee on personnel and ap- proved by Attorney General Wicker shaw, are that Wiley technically evaded the statute limitation on the salary to be paid for experts services. sistantT chief of the bureau of chem istry, and L. F. Kebler, chief of the drug laboratory. Wiley is charged with entering into a secret agreement with pr. H. H.: Rusby,. head of the whereby Rusby was to receive year ly salary of $1,6O0 for not more than 80 days work, in order that he might receive the pay of about $20 day which he formerly drew before Con- gress omitted expert consultation.
 "All I know is that a copy of the charges was served on me and I will make reply to them through the sec retary to the President" said Wiley. Until the latter sees fit to make that statement public I have nothing further to say"
 pr. Wiley has been the object of a relentless campaign of prosecution by the interests which he has antagon1z- ed by his fearlessness in admin1stra- : ton of the national pure food and drug act law.
 The doctor is one of the most pic turesque figures in public life here. He expects to live to be over 100, he is an equal suffragist and was recent ly married to Miss Nan Kelton, one of the national figures in the woman s suffrage movement, and is one of the charter members of the non smokers league. s

DISLIKE COW COCKTAIL. tWatertOwn Folks Strenuously Object
 to Amphibious Bovine.

watertown, July 1.-The report that a. cow has been taking paths up in the iwatertown company's reservoir at Bethlehem has put an additional flavor and smell to the water in the minds of some of the patrons of the water supply, and a drink of the water causes a sensation to some stomachs as a dose of castor oil. The COW ought to have been more considerate of Wa tertown people and their stomachs. It's a no-ncense town, milk is scarce and it is dangerous business to be drinking water from a well when per- haps a part of the supply drains. from your neighbours cesspool. There are those who claim that one barn yard is too near the reservoir, but those better acquainted with the surround fngs know better. The company has sent out an Inspector in the person of Philip Bassett-not because there is any taste of water by people drink ing too literally of it-but to stop any waste by leaking faucets. The water is claimed to be harmless, but dts smell and taste and the startling reports are pretty hard on sensitive ,stomachS

THE SUMMER WARDROBE OF
 THE WE'LL DRESSED WOMAN

This is the time of the year when the well dressed woman must consid- CT frocks for the garden party and other summer entertainm ents.
 !. With the garden party frock the dignity which a slight train gives is a much desired asset to ones appear ance, and the loose floating panel trains which hang quite independent " rom the skirt are much worn A charming gown of this sort was seen a short while ago. It was a delightful example of chic simplicity a graceful line being given in the ar rangement of draped lace tunic The almost universal adoption of the low collar is a feature of the dress of the moment. for all who can pos slbly dispense with the heat and in- convenience of a high collar have been only too eager to do so.
 One dainty little frock in white English embroidery, suitable for luncheon or garden party wear, was made with a scalloped design. This formed kind of bolero and hung over the high waist belt, which was made In pale pink and white striped ribbon. The same scalloped pattern was repeated at the hem, which was also bordered in pale pink and white striped silk. Little touches of black velvet relieved this costume, with which was worn hat in pink en- broldery, with upstanding pink flow CTS, and made simple and girlish frock.
 An attractive hat eminently suit able for country, or river wear was In putty colored straw, made with the crown and brim in one, in the shape known as the Mandarin. Across the front, stretching from side to side lay fiat silk ribbon in deep Wedge wood blue, being both simple and pretty. Another example was a hat in pale blue borderie anglaise in an open design over a wire shape, cover ed with deep mustard colored aero plane, which also formed the under br1m of the hat. The broderie was slightly gathered on the crown, the only trimming being supplied by four tiny bows in mustard yellow velvet at the side. and formed perfectly charming hat.
 For the rainy days, which even the hottest of summers bring little coat and skirt in fine pale gray material would be ideal wear This is sim ply trimmed with plain steel buttons on skirt and coat the deep revers of which were faced with black, pip ed with a tiny white line. The skirt was cut with a panel at the back, while some flat inverted pleats were let in at each side and fastened into the width of the skirt at the foot.

Father Martin S death resulted from a stroke of pa ralysis from which he had been af- flicted for about three years. He was about 70 years of age.
