of their large apartment in the Bender

enough to pay a round OF official visits
in diplomatic and court circles and to be
the recipients Of some farewell entertain
ing, as Mr.. Laughlin must go to London
in a few weeks to become the successor
Of William Phillips as secretary of the
embassy there.
Owing to the more or less chronic in
disposition Of Mrs. Leishman, the en-
bassy entertaining in Berlin now largely
devolves on the families of the secre-
taries and attaches. Although the Leish-
mans have been here for over a year,

to fill out the need of hospitality on the
part of the diplomatic representatives OF
the United States. but the sudden trans
fer of Mr.. Laugh1in to London killed this

BOTH CATS AND DOGS
SCARCE IN CAPITAL
Fewer CANNES Licensed and
InvadeS Meta0in I'm I'm unu
Inroads Made on Alley
RoWdieS.

With Washingtons stray cat population
decreasing at an unprecedented rate as
the result Of the slaughter of $500 felines
at the pound since July !, District of Co
lumbia officials believe that there also
are fewer dogs in the capital than in
any previous year.
To date LIB less dog licenses have
been issued than the records show had
been disposed of at this time year ago.
The licenses are worth 81 each. which
means that the Districts revenue from
this source has been reduced by $3.50.
While it is possible that many owners
have evaded the law requiring the pay
ment Of the tax. the authorities are in
clined to the belief that the big reduction
indicates that the city's canine population
is smaller.
Destruction Rapid.
The destruction OF cats at the pound
has been proceeding at a rapid rate since
the going into effect of the order requir-
ing the pound force to collect stray cats
on request. Practically all of the animals
impounded and destroyed have been of
the worthless variety.
The new pound building on South Capt.
toll between II and streets will be opened
tomorrow. No formal ceremonies will
mark the opening. For this structure
Congress appropriated $4,000. the plans
being prepared by Municipal Architect
Snowden Ashford. The structure, which
is equipped with an interior court, not
only will accommodate the pound, but
will house the stables Of the health de-
partment and also furnish an experiment
room for the meteorological branch of
the department The present pound
building. located at 23d street and New
York avenue, has been used for thirty
years. It's equipment is being transferred

IARIS. October 21.-A revolution in the
complexion OF the Parisienne is one of
the most curious features of the season
now beginning In consequence. it is
thought. of the Persian craze of a few
months ago. reaction has set in against
lilies and roses. an ideal which was
handed down from the eighteenth GEN.
tury and which is now declared to be
hopelessly rustic and only fit for milk
maids.
The time-honored rouge has been
banished from the dressing tables of all
fashionable women and it's place taken
bu pure ocher. which gives the wearer's
cheeks Chinese yellowness. This is all
the rage just now.
New Occupation Arises.
The difficulty OF arranging on this bac =
ground harmonious coloring for other
parts of the face. such as black and blue
for the eyes and red for the mouth, in
such a way as to preserve the eastern
effect, has called into existence a new &C.
cupation, that of the professorship of
face painting, which must not be con-
fused with that of the ordinary beauty
doctor.
The complexion specialist when giving
lessons to a pupil has before him tne
white dummy OF a head. specially made
OF the same measurements as that of the
client and on this he gives demOnstra-
tons of how to apply properly and blend
tints which shall give the same aesthetic
impression as quatrain of Omar khay-
yam.
Courses in these lessons are now oe-
ing attended by mondaines with the same
earnestness with which pupils at the
Beaux Arts Academy take their tuition.

Hit by Gust Of Wind.

The shattered instruments which the
balloonists carried on their fight We're
examined today. The recording apparatus
showed that the officers were riding at
height Of 5000 feet when they were
suddenly lift by a vertical gust of wind,
which pushed them straight up with the
violence of hurricane to a height of
1900 feet.
At this altitude the bag burst. either
from the sudden change in pressure or. as
is more likely, from being struck by a
lightning bolt.
The balloon embodied all the latest
ideas in gasbag construction and was
regarded throughout Germany as the
likely winner of the International cup in
next Saturdays contest. Gerlicke and
Steler had expected to try for an altitude
record In the course of yesterdays flight
and had equipped their car with oxygen
tanks and apparatus to assist them in
enduing the rarefied atmosphere of the
high attitudes.

Hans Gericke, winner of last years in

defenders in the races to be held from

He was thrown from his balloon at a

of the gas bag. which Is believed to
have been struck by lightning His aid,
Lieut.. Steler, was also killed.
Gericke and Steler were making a trial

Beveridge's Following Strong.

Former Senator Beverage is making
such a campaign this year for the pro-
gressives as has not been seen in the
middle west in many years. He is speak
ing two and three times a day, covering
the entire state. in an automobile. and
there is no doubt that he is giving the
other fellows bad scare. One can hear
more Beverage talk in Indiana than he
can Roosevelt talk and it is being freely
predicted here by persons who are not in
any way mixed up in politics. any more
Beveridge Will be the next Governor Of
Indiana Here is a. sample Of what one
hears on every hand
We'll, / am a regular republican and
1 ever scratched my ticket, but am go
ing to do 1t this year. am going to
vote for Taft but I am also going to
vote for Beveridge for governor"
I have heard more talk like that since
reached Indiana than any other kind.
Some persons go so far as to predict
that Senator Beveridge will run $4,000
ahead of Roosevelt in Indiana this time.
1t may not be that large. but 1t Is a
safe bet that Senator Beveridge will lead
the progressive ticket in Indiana this
year in the number Of votes received.
He has very strong personal follow
ing in his home state, especially among
the young men who like him and who
seem to cling to him. They believe
in him. and are rallying to his support
in large numbers.
William Jennings Bryan has been spend
ing three days in Indiana this past week

behalf Of Indiana democracy. Bryan
won't hurt us any, declared Ed E.

All Parties Working Hard.

All three parties out here are working
like beavers and making every minute
tell. All three have nominated excep-
tionally strong candidates for the head
of their state tickets in the persons OF
Samuel Ralston. w. T. Durbin and former
Senator Beveridge for governor. Mr..
Ralston is an honored member Of the
Indiana bar and a citizen of Lebanon.
He has been stamping the state for the
democrats for the last twenty years or
more and was nominated as a reward for
faithful service. Ex-GOv. Durbin once
led the Indiana republicans to victory
when he was nominated and elected sew
eral years ago. He gave splendid bust
ness administration and is regarded as
one of the foremost business men of the
state. He is an exceptionally strong Or
ganizer and a good campaigner.

Lands Brothers Politically Divided.

The Lands family in Indiana is hope
lessly divided in this campaign and the
five brothers are not sticking together as
closely this time as in the past. Fred
Lands Of Logansport is the progressive
candidate for lieutenant governor. and he
is the most-sought-after speaker in the
state this year, next to Senator Bev-
eridge. Fred Lands is the young man
who defeated the veteran. Maj. George
w. Steele. for Congress in the eleventh
Indiana district a few years ago. and he
turn ousted. His brother Charles B.
Lands. formerly the representative from
the ninth Indiana district. Is one OF the
dyed-in-the-wOol standpatters and Charles
is no. helping Frederick one bit. The
others are also divided. one or two on a
side, and the fight is a merry one.
On account of the fight between the re-
publicanS and the prOgreSsiveS the demo-
Gratis in Indiana think they have the
situation cinched this time, and they are
making predictions almost as big as they
generally do in August, when the demo-
cratic prediction season opens. Gov. Will
son has been out here to make a few
speeches and made a good impression.
Reluctance to Register.
Indiana has a new registration law
being tried for the first time this year,
and this undoubtedly will cut down the
vote from that Of former years or, at
least. from what it would otherwise be.
Many of the old voters could not be per-
suaded to register. although they were
besieged and warned that not to register
meant not to vote. Some Of them were
Indifferent and let it go by default. and
others were obstinate and remained away
from the registration places. thinking
that because they were old-time voters
they could not be shut out ON election
day. These citizens are due for hard
jolt November s.
Up at South Bend, in the northern part
OF the state, it Is reported that as many
as 5000 voters In st. Joseph county did
not register and will lose their votes.
South Bend has large foreign population
and 1t was mostly this class that re-
manned away and refused to register.
Those who are In a position to know
assert that the republicans and democrats
will lose more on account of this failure
to register than the progressives. The
latter party made a more determined
effort to get it's voters registered than the
old parties. and 1t is believed that this
will tend to cut down the republican
and democratic vote. AS between the
two II is claimed that the democrats
will lose more than the republicans. as
many OF the Italians who had a right to
vote usually vote the democratic ticket,
and this may cut some figure with the
Wilson vote In Indiana.
