Many persons who have not heretofore
given much thought to the matter are
waking up TO the fact that black and
White can be made to look surprisingly
cool by using tust the right materials In
just the right way. Apparently no sort OF
street costume could be less burdensome
than the dresses seen so frequently now

satn, are eked out by white accessories

ON NEW YORK STREET.
ASSAiLANT KILLS HIMSELF
After Firing Five Bullets Into Body
of Novelist, Fitzhugh Goldsbor-
ough, Son of Washington Physi-
clan, Blows Out His Own Brains.

New York.-David Graham Phil
lips, novelist and writer on topics
dealing with social problems, was
shot and seriously wounded in front
of the Princeton club by fairly well
dressed man, who then committed
suicide.
The assassin, who is believed to
have been insane, was identified as
Fitzhugh Goldsborough, violin
player and son of we'll known
Washington physician.
The shooting occurred while the
sidewalks around Grammercy park
were crowded with pedestrians. Phil
lips had got to a spot in front of the
home of Schuyler Scheffelin, two
doors from the Princeton club, when
Goldsborough, who had been slowly
walking from the east, suddenly
wheeled around and stopped.
Before Phillips knew what was up
Goldsborough pulled the ugly Colts
revolver from his hip pocket and be-
gan firing. Phillips staggered at the
first two shots and fell for support
upon the railing in front Of the Schef-
felin home. With the author trying
to raise himself up, Goldsborough
pressed the revolver against Phillips
and fired four more shots. Colds
borough then pressed the weapon
against his own head and fired one
shot, which killed him.

COMPANIES GUT
EXPRESS RATES
Change in System viii Benefit
Many Shippers.
SMALL TOWNS ARE AIDED
Cost Where TWO Companies Handle
Shipment Of Goods viii Be
the Same as the Throuch
Tariffs

New York.-Oficers of the Canadian
and American Express companies an
nounced last Friday night reduc-
ton in through rates soon to take ell
feet between all Offices OF the United
States and many Of Canada.
Previously whenever a package has
been shipped over the lines Of two or
more companies, the gross rate has
been the sum Of the local rates or all
the companies. Hereafter the charge
will be the same as if one company
carried the package from shipping
point to destination.
The new rate was agreed TO after
number Of conferences at which the
principal express companies operat-
ing in the United States and Canada
have been represented, among them
being the Adams, American, PACING,
Southern, United States, Wells-Fargo
and Western.
The new rule will effect a radical
reduction in express charges on all
shipments 10 or from what are known
az exclusive Offices mat 10 " soy :"
city or town where only one express
company is represented
In explaining the new schedule the
companies cite the present rate be
tween Plainfield. n. j., and Boston,
which, under the new rule, will be 90
cents, a saving to the shipper OF 50
per cent.
The announcement made at the
close of the conference follows:
Instead of two companies which
may handle an express package ma
king a separate charge on each line,
the charge will be the same as If one
company had carried the package
from the shipping point to its desti-
nation.
Necessary details are now being
perfected, and as soon as legal re-
quirements are complied with, this
plan for through service at through
rates will take effect generally be-
tween all express Offices in the United
States"

Jackets and British seamen have

attack by Bonilla's revolutionists.
The moves followed signs OF In
creased activity in the Honduras gov
eminent garrison and all along the
line of double intrenchments. Thirty
bluejackets were landed from the Uni
ted States cruiser Tacoma for the
work, The British cruiser Brilliant
sent 20 seamen ashore.
They at once started building par
ricades for the protection OF subjects
of the two countries and for all non
combatants in the event OF an attack
on the town by the BOniIla reVoIu-
tonists.
Lieut.. Walter G. Roper, who at the
direction of Commander Archibald H.,
Davis Of the cruiser Tacoma, seized
the revolutionary warship Hornet al
TruxiIlo Friday and sent the rebel
crew ashore, was in charge OF the
landing expedition.
Lieutenant Roper's men had barely
finished setting up their machine
guns preparatory to starting for the
American consulate when the men
from the Brilliant came ashore.
The Americans, followed by big
crowd, went straight to the consul 8
home. barrcaded It, left sentry and
began the rounds OF the American
quarter, barricading all dwelling
houses and places OF business. The
British seamen meantime were dong
similar work for the British consul
and for those who had the right to
demand protection under the British
flag
Most Of these houses and stores are

After the individual cases had been
looked after the bluejackets built bar.
