What has become of the tailored

hand? She and all her ilk seem to
have passed out with the advent OF
the frenzy of flufiness that has seized
the feminine world. The few who

However, the generousness Of neck.
wear is gradually decreasing and fan
frills and Partisan jabots are taking
on proportions not only more refined,
but undoubtedly more becoming.
The small girl with a great white
wing securely pinned to her shoulder
would be laughable were she not so
modest and unassuming in manner.
But the new neckwear will soon
rightfully represent her, as well as the
too generously built woman who SHES
at SO much ostentation.
Stocks with jabots to match are
the fashionable thing in neckwear,
and instead Of the lavishly fiuted va
rieties. the simple, graduated plat is
shown. Hand embroidery and simple
thread laces are the favored trim
mings, and a bit of color Is occasion
ally introduced by means Of ribbon
and loops.

ANCIENT THRONE RESTORED
New York O'Conner REEVES Dynas
ty in Ireland.

~ III tTOJ0Ius
New York-The O'Connors are to be
kings in Ireland once more. Every
student of Irish history knows that
Roderick O'Connor was the last king
of Ireland and Prince of Breffney, but
future historians must record that it
remained for Michael J. O'Connor, a
Broadway saloonkeeper, to restore the
clan to the regal grandeur which is
theirs by right.
The new O'Connor dynasty is to be
established on the banks of the River
Shannon, where King Roderick O'Con-
nor took his last stand and fought with
his clan at his back. There it was,
too, that Tom Moore sang "The Valley
Lay Smiling Before Me-
The old estate of King Roderick,
long since fallen into unfriendly
hands, has been bought by Michael
O'Connor, who restored the family
fortune through the medium of two
cafes in Broadway and one in One
Hundred and Twenty-fif street. The
new prince of Breffney" has return
ed from Ireland and announced his
purchase.

San Francisco - Chagrined because
the quarantine officials at Honolulu
persisted in imposing hardships upon
her high bred dog, Mrs. George M.
Pullman. widow of the Pullman palace
car magnate, cut her visit in the is
lands very short and returned on the
Oceanic liner Sierra.
Mrs. Pullman explained that she
had expected to pass another month in
Honolulu and its environments, but
that the quarantine officers took her
pet spaniel away from her and gave it
a course Of spraying and disinfectants.
Then the Honolulu newspapers took
the matter up and gave it publicity,
which was displeasing to Mrs. Pull
man, and she decided to "cut" the
paradise of the Pacific and FASTENED to
leave, bag and baggage.
After many unsuccessful attempts
to get her dog out Of quarantine, she
gave up in disgust and arranged with
an agent there to send the spaniel up.
on the next steamer to San Francisco,
and it will be forwarded by express to
Chicago.

BLOODSHED DUE
in STRIKE ZONE
Armed Coal Miners Clash With
Pennsylvania Troops.
One Dying. Many injured Railroads
Observation-Disclosures Barred
From Meetings.

Phlladelphia-The situation in the
anthracite regions is believed to be
growing more serious hourly.
The shooting of three foreign-speak-
ing miners at Minersville by state
troopers has had the effect of embit-
tering the foreigners.
At a meeting in Minersville, at
which all Americans were barred,
threats were made against the troops
and the miners assembled say they are
determined to prevent work being
done at any of the collieries in the
Minersville section.
1t is feared that if tb troopers at
tempt to carry out their avowed in
tention to search the foreigners
homes for firearms it will mean blood
shed.
At Shenandoah the state troopers
were called out to dispense crowd of
several thousand which had assembled
because of some trivial incident, but
there was no violence.
Tracks on the Natalie branch of the
Reading railroad near Shamokin were
dynamited, several rails being torn
from the ties. The road leads to the
Natalie colliery, which has been idle
since the suspension of work April l..
Dynamite fastend to the Erie tracks
near Scranton was found in time to
prevent the blowing up of freight
train.
In battle between the state police
and crowd estimated at between
1000 and 5000 men at Minersville four
men are known to have been shot and
three probably were fatally wounded.
It is believed that a dozen or more
others also were struck by bullets.

"any ara hungry, Thousands II
Peril. Damage immense.
New Orleans Large sections Of Ii
Louisiana parishes west of the Mis-
sissippi river are under water, foul
other parishes have some foodwatel
and are bound to get more.
Approximately 100, 900 persons have
been driven from their homes anf
about dozen lives have been lost.
Refugees are sheltered in cabins,
churches and lodge buildings.
Every day brings stories of suffer.
ing in new sections.
Protection of the remaining levees
along the Mississippi river from the
mouth of the Red river south is caus.
ing deep concern.
Millions of dollars worth of proper
ty is at stake, and thousands of lives
would be jeopardized if some of the
big levees gave way.
Reports are more reassuring in some
localities, and the state engineer said
he was confident every remaining
levee on the. Mississippi river would
hold.
Lack of labor has been most SER
ious drawback. Governor Sanders
has ordered the Louisiana militia to
round up all idle men and compel them
to work on the levees.
Consequently mo work, no rations'
was the ultimatum given Ito hundreds
of able-bodied men at Natchez by
Lieutenant w. E. Holiday, in charge
of the supplies depot there.
1t was feared that q ten-mile
stretch of levee in the Bayou de
Glazie section would be lost, owing to
the dearth of labor. Engineer H. S.
Douglass, of Melville, reported that
while he had quarters for 500 1aborers
in the Atchafalaya district, responses
to his call were few.
There is alarm among some of the
residents of New Orleans. Extreme
precautions have been taken to meet
any emergency, and at points all along
the river barges and fiat cars are load
ed with timber, sand bags, wheel bar
rows and shovels.

English Board Of inquiry Shows Ap'
athy Of Titanic Officers.
London-The apathy Of the British
public, which has been one Of the fea.
lures thus far Of the board Of trade
inquiry into the Titanic disaster, was
again demonstrated by the thin at.
tendance when the commissioners un.
der the presidency Of Lord Mersey, re.
sumed their Investigation.
The first witness called was George
Beauchamp, fireman of the Titanic,
who testified:
Il did not know which was my boat
station. / heard that a list had been
put up that morning, but did not see
it. None had been put up before. ]
did not know where to 60, so / went
up to the boat deck and to lifeboat
No. ID, on the starboard side, where
helped to put in the women and child
rem. There was an officer there and
when the lifeboat was full he gave the
order to lower away.
There was between 60 and 70 in
all in the boat which was put in
charge of stoker. There was no
light, compass, provisions nor water
in the boat"
Beauchamp testified that he had
seen no boat drill on the Titanic.
Robert Kitchens, quartermaster, tes-
titled that he was on duty on the
bridge of the Titanic at 8 o'clock.
He heard Second Officer Lightoller
through the telephone give an order to
the men in the crows nest to keep a
sharp lookout for ice and GROWERS.
Kitchens went on duty at the wheel
at 10 O'Clock. He testified that the
logbook showed the speed to have been
Is knots in two hours and that there
was no change up to the time the Ii
tanic struck the iceberg at II 40.
"Would the lifeboats have been of
any use at all if there had been a
rough sea-" asked Lord Mersey.
The quartermaster replied emphat-
ically: 81 am sure they would not,
my lord.'

LIFE-sAvERs RESCUE TEN.
Steamer vosburg and Barge Strand
ed at Mouth of Nehalem.

Bay City, Or.-While heavy seas
broke repeatedly over the steamer
Vosburg, stranded on the south spit at
the entrance to the Nehalem river, the
government lifesaving crew from Gar
ibaldi succeeded in taking off Captain
Erickson and seven members of his
crew, and also took two men off of the
barge Nehalem, which was at anchor
in a perilous position nearby.
The rescue was accomplished against
tremendous odds. A heavy wind had
kicked up rough sea. A hole had
been broken in the bottom of the Vos-
burg and water was pouring in, while
great combers repeatedly swept over
the vessel, completely submerging
her.
Twice the lifeboat was capsized
while en- route to the wreck, but the
crew righted it and kept on. Great
difficulty was encountered after ar
rival at the wreck in getting the sail
ors off, but one by one they leaped,
some into the boat, which threatened
momentarily to dash against the
steamer, and others into the sea,
where they were picked up. Finally
all were taken ashore safely, amid
frantic cheers of a hundred residents
of Nehalem and the Tillamook bay
district, who had gathered on the
shore to witness tie attempt.
The rescued are Captain Erickson,
Steve Beauregard, engineer, of Port
land; William Campbell, second engi.
neer, of Tillamook; Fred Tultz, first
mate, of Astoria; L. Campbell, stew
ard, of Portland; M. Ferguson, fire
man, of Bay City; J. H. Whitaker
fireman, of Portland; George Grief
sailor, of Portland; George Smith,
sailor, of Portland; A. Milton, sailor
of Portland. The two last named
were taken from the barge Nehalem.
