Pride, who has been engaged in this
line of work here for the past eish-
teen years, coming to this city fron
Fort Worth, Texas, the year before
the big fire"
Mr.. Pride, good likeness of whom
appears herewith, is a native of Ten
nessee, having first seen the light of
day in 1866. Shortly after his advent
on this earth his parents removed to
Kentucky, where they resided until he
was seven years old, returning to his
native state where they lived until
1876, when they migrated to Texas,
locating in Tarrant county near Fort
Worth. 1t was in Fort Worth that Mr..
Pride decided to take up the tin and
sheet metal work and where he served
his apprenticeship at the trade. He
worked at the trade for number Of
years in that city and working on
some of the largest contract jobs in
the state of Texas, being employed
on the tin and metal work in connec-
ton with the construction of the CAPT
tol building at Austin, where he was
employed for six months.
Eighteen years ago Mr.. Pride de-
cided to come to the Indian Territory
and embark in business and .Ardmore
was selected as the most promising
town in this section for the establish
ment of a tin and sheet metal works.
At that time he formed partnership
with Jim Golledge who died after the
business had been in operation about
a year. Mr.. Pride conducting the bus
mess continuously since that time
Coming here when Ardmore was
mere village, he has done most all
the important work in this line on the
different buildings constructed here.
Mr.. Pride has done his part, too.
in the upbuilding and advancement OF
Ardmore. He has always boosted this
section and deserves the success he
has attained here in his chosen call
ing. He permits nothing but the best
of work to leave his shop and person
ally inspects every piece of work eX-
ecuted. He makes a specially of large
Jobs. such as cornice work, roofing and
guttering, the manufacture Of tanks,
fues. etc, and conducts a general re-
pair business.
Mr.. Pride is conscientious in his
dealings with the public and mis-
charges are reasonable in proportion
to the, high class of work turned out.

NOTHING TO Do
BUT DRESS
RICH PARTISAN WOMEN CHANGE
COSTUMES TEN TIMES A DAY.
ARE DRESS, MAD.

New York, July S.-"The women of
Paris are dress mad declares Chas.
c. Kurman, New York milliner, who
came home yesterday on the steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm II. Among them is
great competition as to who will wear
the newest gowns. Every woman
wants to he the first at the races with
a new gown. There is great eXtrava-
gance in Paris among the dressy rich.
Partisan women who consider
themselves smart dress from eight TO
ten times during the twenty-four
hours. First, in the morning they
dress for riding in the Bois De Bou-
losne; second, they dress for break
fast; third, they dress for shopping;
fourth, they dress for walk in the
Avenue Des Acacias; fifth, they dress
for luncheon, which they take in the
Chateau Madrid; sixth they dress for
the races; seventh, they dress for
tea at Pre- Catelain; eighth, they dress
for dinner at Armoneyille; ninth, they
dress for the Vienna opera, or for
the Enghien Les Bains, a miniature
Monte Carlo; tenth. they dress for
supper, which fashionable Paris now
takes at the Cafe De Paris and elev-
enth, if you please, theys change for
bed.
The average cost of these gowns is
$3.50. Ten different gowns would cost
for one day alone s2,5Oo, Now, fig
uring that seldom do these women
wear the same gown more than once
a week. those in the swim would have
to have sixty gowns. There is craze
for fringes on everything-dresses.

article a woman wears and carries.

OFFICIAL COMMITTEE ON STYLES
so pEcLARE-SEcRE SEs-
SlONS HELD IN NEW YORK.

| New York, July S.-England had her
star chamber and Venice its mighty
council of ten, hut what were these
in comparison with the secret con
claves OF the committee on styles of
the Ladies' Tailors' association, now
in session in New York City?
While the American woman firts
at the seaside or frivols in the noun
tains, the destiny that shapes her tail
ored suit is hard at work at 366 Fifth
avenue.
The general deliberations OF the
congress of 600 tailors from all over
the United States ended last Satur-
day.
But the committee on styles is still
hard at work and from the mystery
that broods over the secret sessions
important DEGREES will be hatched
soon.
The hobble is dead. The skirt of
your autumn tailored suit will be from
9 to 2 IA yards around. 1t will clear
the ground three inches-not five, as
last year. 1t will be plain-no pleats.
The coat will be longer, covering the
hips. It will be tight fitting, but cut
in the general style of the semi-fitting
garment, with only five seams. 1t will
have wide. soft collar.
It will be "ravenswing" blue in col
or. and will be trimmed with Egyp-
tian gold-"a sort of uneven brown
gold" as James b. blaine, president
Of the Ladies' Tailors' association, eX-
planned.
"The committee on styles" said
Mr.. Blaine, "is getting ready some
fall suggestions. I don't want to say
'decrees,' as the newspapers so often
do.
"The American tailor can suggest.
It is for the American woman TO
adopt or reject. But it is to be hoped

the American tailor knows her re-
quirements and her figure far better
than any tailor in London or Paris can
know them.
Paris tailors and dressmakers Gre
ate designs for continental women,
and in Europe there is still a tinge OF
oriental vulgarity to the feminine
ideal. Only the Russian woman OF
the highest class approaches the per-
fection. the idealty of the American
woman's figure.
French women are slighter and less
evenly developed than American wo-
men. It is possible for them to wear
a hobble skirt without looking ridicu-
lous. The American woman cannot
do this. She is too wcll developed.
Her hips are too pronounced and her
stride is too long and free for the hob
bled effect.
I'VE are going to try to induce our
patrons to wear longer skirts. A well
developed woman in a school girl

JoNsS.EvEEETT MACHINE &C

The people of Ardmore have al
claimed in stentorian tones that the
vanguard of a city of big proportions
was the tin bucket brigade-and they
are pre-eminently correct in this re
spect, for no town after it reaches,
a certain stage in its development can
rely upon the agricultural operations
to sustain IT, Ardmore has attained
that stage in her growth when facto-
l'ies must be induced to come here in
order that the town can go forward
and not be allowed TO lag behind the
other communities in the state.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that in Ardmore now there
is one OF the most complete and mod
ernly equipped machine shops to be
found anywhere-the bigger towns
not barred. We have reference TO
the Jones-Everett Machine company'S
establishment This concern has
been in operation in Ardmore for sew
eral years, its prOprietors both being
skilled machinists, wide awake, push
ing and progressive. They are pre-.
pared to make most any kind of ma
chnery on short notice and repair
ANYTHING that is brought to them no
matter how big or difficult the job
1t is further interesting to those
who read this story that there is
manufactured in Ardmore by the
Jones-Everett company one of the
most successful gin saw filers ever
placed on the market-The Standard
Gin Saw Filler This filler is recog'
nized by those who have used it that
it IS superior in many respects to
anything of the kind on the market
roday-and it is bound to be admit
ted that it will in a short time be-
come generally used in the cotton
growing region when it is considered
that there are today only about four
or five different makes Of Gin fiIerS
on the market.
VI. w. Jones. senior member OF In"
firm, invented the Standard gin saw
filler and has been offered some
good royalty propositions on his pat
ent but has refused all of them, be-
lieving that in a few years time
he would be able to create a demand
for his product that would bring him
in an income that would oyerwhelm
anything that he could acquire
through the sale of his patent.
The Standard gin saw filer is
built and designed for service and
economy, making perfect and uniform
teeth. does not require a skilled
workman to operate, and operates on
any Gin stand. The file bar, which
is made Of steel tubing, has a one
and half inch stroke, driven by
means of a cam ana yoke connected
TO a small gear with Tor spring. File

It may be far reached to criti- else the action of Washington authorities in ordering vaccination of all Alaska bound passengers, when the order may be for the general good of the north, but what the Alaskans do object to is the con- cealins of the threatened disease and where it is prevailing.
 Alaska has no epidemic, and why tourists and others should be scar ed from Alaska to concealthe real location of an epidemic is something mysterious. It fully demonstrates the long-shot government from Washington so pleasing to the tory element in Alaska, who fear legis- lation by honest Alaskans, elected by the people of Alaska. As long as home rule is kept from Alaska just so long will the industries ot the north suffer from such ill-ad- vised and vicious regulations. '- Dispatch.
