QUEEN MARY'S $30,000 VEIL

The veil worn by Queen Mary at the durbar cost $30,000, was six months in the making. and required sixty women to execute it's wonderful workmanship.
 If stretched on poles. it would make a tent large enough to house four soldiers with every camp need. It is the most magnificent veil ever worn by any British queen of India, and shows what wonderful lace making is being done by the Irish peasants. It is hard to say which was more splendid, the wonderful jewels worn by the princes of India or the mag nificent train worn by the queen en- press.
 When the costume of the queen which was to be worn at the Indian durbar was being discussed, it was

 A short time before adjournment the senate adopted d resolution pro- viding for the printing and distribu- tion Of a half ton or so of these laws so that all interested citiens will have chance to read them. Not that that would do anybody any good: for if the men who made the laws don't understand then there would seem little hope for anybody else. But they are going to be printed and dis tributed, anyway.
 And Harry Davis poor, lonesome, little prizefight bill was laid on the table. It was done gently and rever- entity. but it was done.
 There were also some social ameni- ties just before the show broke up The senate courteOusly gave q vote of thanks to Senator Chase. the dean of the body, for his untiring work in the legislature: and MT. Chase feel ingly responded. The president was also given similar expression and there were some other bouquets pass cd around.
 In the house the expression of good will took on a more substantial form For along about eleven o'clock during a lull in the proceedings-most of the of lulIs. by the Representative Lin ney. after speaking briefly of the pleasant associations of the members the friendships that had been formed and the uniform courtesy that had been exercised by the speaker, on be- half of the house presented MT Brad ner with a handsome loving cup.
 The speaker was visibly affected at this incident but responded in an appropriate manner. He said the knowledge of the good will that had been manifested toward him by the house was worth far more than any visible expression of it; and yet he desired to thank them all for having remembered him in this way.
 Then the senate was formally noti- fled the house was ready to quit and the grave and reverend senators marched in in a body and were given seats. President Cunniff took charge; the roll of the two houses was called for the last time: there was a mo- ton to adjourn seconded by Senator Sims who took occasion to say the greatest legislature of the greatest state closed on his birthday: the sno- tion was put and carried, and it was all over.
 The special session lasted just a month. a trifle less than half the time consumed by the regular session.

THE GREATEST AMERICAN JOKE
Few Men Want a Nomination as
 Vice President

Some jokes die young-but not be- cause they are good. Others are per perennial and renew their youth at stated intervals. One great Ameri- can joke, perhaps the greatest of American jokes. enjoys it's centenary this year, and the anniversary is being appropriately, though not os- tentatiOusly celebrated
 The chief centers of the celebration are to the Chicago and Baltimore, and the joke is the vice presidency. It was in 1912 that John LangdOn. a worthy New Hampshire patriot, de- clined to run as vice presidential candidate on the ticket with Madison after he had been formally nominat- ed. Before that time the office had been taken seriously, and even treat ed with respect. Since that time it

OFFICERS BATTLE
 WITH GAMBLERS One Negro Killed Sunday Morning and Another In
 jured at Brassfield.
GAMBLERS RESISTED
Claim Made That They Fire First Upon Deputy Sheriifs-COrOn-
 CT EXOnerates Officers.

Bra sfield. July 22-As the result of a sensational raid made on an al legged gambling rendezvous by four deputy sheriffs, early Sunday morn ing, one negro, George Kennedy, is dead, and another, negro, whose name has not been learned, is known to be badly wounded No officers were hurt.
 Deputy Sheriff Ben Peebles with three assistants, Deputy Sherffs Irl Irwin, Amos Walker and c. A. Leon- ard, received a tip Saturday night that biz crap game was under way at a negro gambling place down near the river, in the tall cane, where the participans evidently believed they would be free from suspicion.
 Between 1 and ? o'clock Sunday morning the off cers approached the cabin, where the gambling was re- ported, and for satisfying themselves that the law was being violated they entered the place and demanded that the party, which included zen white man, score of negro men and four negro women surrendered.
 The officers say that instead of sulrendering there was general show of resis ance, ond that the gamblers opened fire, which was re- turned by the officers. The negr finally stampeded and rushed helter- skelter from the cabin out through the canebrake, leaving Kennedy dead on lhe floor
 A coroner's jury was summoned Sunday and witnesses heard in the case. The jury completely exonerated the officers, finding that the negro came to his death by "a bullet fired by unknown parties. It is believed that he was killed by members of his own party, who were firing from behind him at the officers as they entered the camp.
 It is stated that there was a lot of illicit whiskey found also at the camp. A number of arrests are ex- pected to follow.

SAYS ITS VICTORY
 FOR TAX PAYERS
T. J. Collier Declares That Federal
 Court Has Come To Their Aid.

Judge Trieber in handing down his decision on the free bridge suit filed in Federal court, says that the count of petitions must be fair, or he will take a hand. The complaint filed Sat- urday will be allowed to stand on the records until after the meeting of the Bridge Commissioners on the 23rd, for the purpose of determining the result of the count of the petitions.
 Judge Trieber says the petitions must bear the bonafide signatures of bonafide property holders.
 This is all we have ever demanded and we consider the decision vic- tory.
 Stand firm; sign no petitions for the alleged free bridge and the fight is won.
 Yours for self protection,

 lie termed the charge that the Tax payers could net get fair and im- partial trial ill Jefferson county as scandalous and ordered it stricken from the complaint. Judge Trieber also enlightened the attorneys for the plaintiff in using the term mon res;- dent, in referring to Lyman Melvin Jones, of Canada. He clearly showed the distinction between an alien and nonresident, and ruled that Mr. Jones is an alien.
 In commenting on the alleged pre- ludice that might exist in this county, as charged in the petition. Judge Trieber said he had observed that Judge Grace had issued a temporary injunction against the Bridge Com mission and that Judge Elliott had made it permanent, but that it had been ssalved by the Supreme Court. He could see no prejudice there, sug- gesting that if there had been any pl ejudice it was not unfavorabe to the plaintiff
 In deeying the petition Judg dge Trieber simply ruled that the plain tiff had adequate remedy at law. He said the court could not presume that the Commissioners would do anything irregular. He said that if the injunction was granted. as prayed, there would be no way to de- termine as to a majority for Or against the Free Bridge.
 Judge Trieber std that if fraud was plaeticed there was ample rem edy at law. He did not say that his court would proceed further, but circuit court, which would result in the eoult reviewing the peti ions :f questioned.
 Judge Trieber did not think it nee essary to dismiss the petition, but merely suggested to the attorneys for the Taxpayers tha', if they desired to do so they could let their pet ton stand and amend it later, if they demed it advisable and show themselves entitled to relief. The attorneys for the plaintiff said they would announce later as to whether or not they would amend their bill.

Sea Cir, N. J., July 22-Woodrow Wilson has gone to a quiet retreat, name nct mentioned, to write his speech Of acceptance for the Demo- cratic nomination for presidency He will be away from Sea Girt for two days and probably for the bal ance of the week. When he left at 5:3O o'clock he sad:
 "This will be no vacat ion for me. am going 70 do some hard work"
 The speech must be out of the hands of the printer and ready fer distribution to the far points of the county at least week in advance of the official notification, which takes place here on August z, so tha, it could be published simultaneously with the notification The governor has been so busy receiving visitors and discussing plans for the campaign that he confesses he has not had the time even to study the Democratic platform and this dccumen. he Will wan, to digest before he undertakes to write his speech. The speech, he says, will be as short as he can make it without omi ting any important subjects.

 Senator Reed was asked if Clark would take the stump for Wilson.

 Senator Stone was asked what was the subject of discussion at the con- ference With the Governor:
 we talked with the governor about the plans for the campaign he said:
 "We discussed more especially the Democra ic chances n the debatable states. I feel reasonably sure that Governor Wilson will have 230 votes in the electoral college exclusively of the debate states. like New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Wiscon- sin and Ohio."
 Senator Reed interrupted there:
 "TheIe is no doubt- abou, Wilson's election. He will carry M ssouri easily. As matter of. fact, when Roosevelt gets going and Taft gets off some of his stuff there will be nothing left of the Republican party"
