One of the trimming notes that

at the present time Is plush, says the
Dry Goods Economist. The plush used
has very deep nap, giving the effect
of fur. II makes a most attractive

among the popular coIors.

FOREIGN RELATIONS IS TAFT'S SUBJECT
Congress Is Told Of Improvements in Consular and
Diplomatic Corps and Good Results Of I'm
Gle Sans Efforts in Latin America.

Of war In Nicaragua; the hating Of
interneclne strife In Honduras The
government of the United States was
thanked for It's influence toward the
restoration of amicable relations be-
tween the Argentine Republic and Bo-
livia. The diplomacy Of the United
States is active IN seeking to assuege
the remaining ill-feellng between this
country and the Republic OF Colombia.
In the recent civil war In China the
United States successfully Joined with
THE other Interested powers In urging
an early cessation OF hostilities An
agreement has been reached between
the governments Of Chile and Peru
whereby the celebrated Tacna- AFRICA
dispute which has so long embittered
International relations on the west
coast of South America, has at last
been adjusted. simultaneously came
the news that the boundary dispute
between Peru and Ecuador had entered
upon q stage of amicable settlement.
The position Of the United States in
reference to the Tacna AFRICA dispute
between Chile and Peru has been one
of non-intervention but one Of friendly
influence and pacific counsel through
out the period during which the dis
pute in question has been the subject

China.
In China the policy Of encouraging
financial investment to enable that
country to help itself has had the re-
suit Of giving new life and practical
application to the open-door policy.
The consistent purpose of the present
administration has been to encourage
the use Of American capital in the
development of China by the promo
tion Of those essential reforms to
which China is pledged by treaties
with the United States and other pow
ers. The hypothecation to foreign
bankers In connection with certain in
dustrial enterprises, such as the HUI
kuang railways, Of the national reve-
nues upon which these reforms de-
pended, led the department of state
early in the administration to demand
for American citizens participation in
such enterprises, in order that the
United States might have equal rights
and an equal voice In all questions
to the disposition Of the
public revenues concerned The same
policy of promoting international ac-
cord among the powers having similar

NEW YORK'S EARLY VOTE

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-All records
Tor early and heavy voting ap-
peared likely to be broken in New
York State today, and reports from
nearly every county indicated that
record polls are being made. There
was generally fair weather In all
parts of the State, and In both the
city and county districts voters went
early to the polls.
At Albany-and many of the BuHaio
precincts more than one-third of the
registration had been poiled before
. o'clock.
From Troy, Newburgh, Kingston
Ithaca, Oswego. Eln1ira and Bing-
hamton came reports of unusual
early activity about the polls. at
Binghamton there were indications
that the vote was being split, and
similar reports came from Water
town and Gloversville.
A light vote was polled at Syracuse
during the early hours, due chiefly
TO the unfamiliarity with the form
of ballots. There were complications,
also, at Auburn, where for the first
time the voting machines required a
second pull of the pointed for
presidential choice. This was ex
pected. to result in losses for the
heads of the tickets.

AGED MAN UNABLE

Charles Gallagher, Who Voted

The most pathetic figure in the
hundreds that thronged the court
House corridors today looking for

Gallagher is IS years old and was
shaking with age when he made his
appeal before Judge Harry d. Os-

Commissioners and prominent in Ia
Dor circles.

said the veteran. and his voice way :
cred. Il think this is the last time
I'll have a chance"
He then explained to the judge
that he was sick on primary day
and could not register. He leaned
heavily on his cane while awaiting
the judges decision.
'1'm sorry can not help you any"
said Judge Osborne in low tone,
but there is the law and ] must
make my rulings according to that.
When Gallagher reiterated his as
sertion that he would not vote again
the Judge smiled sympatheticaliy and
assured. the veteran he was mis-
taken. After he had been assisted
by Commissioner Mclean from tn,
courtroom the aged man sat down
in chair. which kindly hands placed
in back OF him.
Gallagher continued; MY son is a
district captain in my own voting
district, the seventh in the Sixth
ward. / certainly don't think much
of a law which makes situation
like this necessary
Commissioner Mclean advised the
veteran not TO speak of the affair too
much. as there was no remedy for It.

sioner. who succeeded in cheering
him up BY urging him to forget IT.
