Madras Mosquitoes.

The late Henry Guy Carleton, the
playwright lived at Atlantic City, ana
when the mosquitoes were bad le

There are no mosquitoes" he would

man, about to emigrate to Madras was
warned by friend.
Beware of the Madras mosquitoes
They have long suckers hanging from
their heads, and they will draw the
very life blood out of you
The Breton woman arrived in Ma.

JEWELED
TRIMMINGS

When very simple styles are IN
fashion, as they have been for some
months past and will be all through
the summer months, it followed nat
urally that our gowns must be decir-
ated with very handsome and artistic
trimmings. 1t is interesting, there
fore, to note that importers who have
been noted for their exclusive novel
ties are now showing some exquisite
bead trimmings, suitable either for
afternoon or evening gowns, as well
las lovely jeweled buttons and other
accessories which give a note of dis
tinction even to a perfectly plain cos
tune.
The bead trimmings worked on wide
or narrow bands of net are in lovely
combinations of color, especially in
the oriental effects, which are having
a great vogue in Paris just now. Some
.of the designs are carried out in glis-
tening beads, while others are in
white china beads or dull wood beads
and sometimes silk embroideries are
introduced into the pattern.
Girdles and hanging ornaments in
antique gold or oxidized silver form
another interesting feature of trim
mings, and tire are tassels, balls and
.acorns to match for millinery and
other purposes where small hanging
ornaments are effective. Antique gal
looms can also be bought by the yard,
and there are gold and silver laces Of
every imaginable width at popular
prices.
Handsome jeweled buttons set IN
.oxidized silver are in great request
this season, especially in sapphire
blue and ruby red, the coronation
colors, which are very much in evil
.dence Real tortoise shell buttons
ARE extremely fashionable in Paris,
and there are some novelties in wood
and pearl buttons for tailor made cos
tunes. Wooden beads for girdles and
trimmings are offered in every mag
Unable color, and metal and glass
beads are also a specially
For lrocks and blouses of thin fab
RIGS there are insertions of the new
.fillet lace, with motifs of different
shapes and sizes to match, so that a
scheme of decoration can be carried
out all in the same design. The fash
ionable wide braids for morning
dresses and plain tailor mades are
also offered in great variety in black
and various colors.
Lace nets with threads of tinsel in
them, now so much used for yokes
and undersleeves, are sold by the
yard, and there is also a very at
tractive collectiin of wide shoulder
scarfs in satin, chiffon and net, very
handsomely trimmed at the ends.

Disappointment again characterized

staple finally dropped well below ten
cents with little evidence of an early
rally. The futures market was off
again and spots followed on a greas>

were fraction under ten cents for the

position upon the part of holders here
to force sales at these prices, AID no
great quantity was sold here yester-

UNDERWRITERS PLEASED
WITH GOV. DIX'S ACTION

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The In
stitute of American Underwriters on
Saturday held a special meeting in
this city to consider legislation af-
fecting marine interests, and espe-
cially the action of Governor Dix
in vetoing the Hoey brokers bill.
His action is received as a victory
for the institute, which is composed
of the marine underwriters, and who
are opposed to any form of law
which will give the issuance of poll
cies in this country by unauthorized
companies the slightest semblance of
legality.
1t is now expected that the Sui
livan bill, which provides for the
licensing of fire and casualty in
surance brokers in exactly the same
terms as the Hoey bill, but which
omits reference to marine business,
will be passed and signed by the
governor.

HEAVY RAINS DAMAGE
MANY COUNTRY ROADS
Grades Are Washed Out and Many
Sections Suffer From Downpour.

During the heavy rain that fell
last week at the head Of Carson
valley a torrent swept down the
canyon leading up the Kingsbury
grade. Considerable damage was
done to the road. The farms sit
uated at the foot of the grade were
slightly damaged, but no lives were
lost.
The report was circulated that a
boy who was driving a stage down
the grade was caught in the torrent
and swept to death. This rumor
proved without foundation. No one
was injured by the flood of wa
ter that came down this extreme
ly steep canyon.

The electric light plant suffered
the burning out of a transformer
by the action of the lightning. 1t
was necessary to close down the
works for a time owing to the
trouble.
The storm, while light in this val
ley, is reported to have been I'M
usually heavy in many places. The
headwaters of the Carson had a

was also a heavy downpour and

MISS ABBOTT IS
WILLING To TESTIFY
FOR COMMITTEE
PRESIDENT UNABLE TO FIND
LETTERS FROM BROTHER
CHAS. T.. TAFT.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-An ex-
traordinary situation has developed
from the publication of the so-called
Dick to Dick" letter, purporting to
bring the name Of Charles P. Taft,
the presidents brother, into the
Alaska coal land controversy.
Miss NJ. F. Abbott, youthful
writer who was graduated from the
Radcliffe college only a few years
ago, stands ready to take the wit
ness chair before a house committee
and testify under oath that she
saw the Dick to Dick" letter in the
interior department files and took
it down word for word.
She already has laid before the
house committee on expenditures in
the interior department, which is
investigating the matter, a men,
orandum which she represents as
her original notes on this letter
On the other hand Walter Fisher
the newly appointed secretary OF
the interior, declares that the So
called "Dick to Dick letter no
where appears in the files of the in.
terror department and that all the
employees in the department who
have access to the file, assert that
they had never heard of the letter
until Miss Abbott published it.
The White House, which has beer
considerably disturbed over the in
cident, also discredits the insinua
