Moose Convention
To Be Held Secretly

CHICAGO, July 27.-The Arst ward
conventions to name delegates to the
third party state convention in Illinois
will be held in Cook county tonight.
The meetings will be semi secret. In
stead of publishing a list of the places
where the conventions will be held, a
list Of men who Will know where they
are to be held some time before they
are actually called to order was given
out today. The reason for the secrecy,
according to leaders of the new party,
is the fear that ward politicians allied
with Governor Deneen and the regular
Republican machine would pack the
gatherings and name delegates who
would start trouble when the new state
convention endeavors to proceed with
the nomination of third state ticket.

Fashionable Women Wearing
Hats, Stockings and Even

The latest sartorial surprise in Paris
is the lace sheath skirt with Turkish
trousers.
One of Americas largest lace import
ers has Just returned from an extended
tour of continental fashion centers
with $4,000 worth of Bohemian lace.
Lace will be the dominant mate
rial for the attire of fashionable women
next season." he said. THE French
resorts are filled with women wearing
gowns of that material. and in some
cases the fad has become so popular
that it is by no means an uncommon
sight to see women attired In lace
stockings, shoes made of lace uppers,
lace hats and lace gowns
"Pannier skirts. still the mode, as
we'll as the new pleated skirts. are be-
ing manufactured entirely of lace and
the sheath skirt, that some modistes
said would not live another season. Is
still in demand. The effect when It is
made of lace is startling. Lace stock
ings In countless colors are also fash
ionable, and I think will be liked in
America, although l would not care to
predict the reception lace shoes will
receive here.
Bohemian made lace is in great de-
mand so much 30 that | brought with

many orders given would never be
filed. English laces have taken back
seat in the fashionable world at pres
ent and the Nottingham makers are

INCOME TAX BILL
IS PASSED BY
SENATE.
Measure, Nearly Same as
Passed House, Will Soon Be
Up to President Taft.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The SEN
ste Yesterday passed the excise bill.
This is in reality an income tax bill,
Lowing tax of one per cent year on
the incomes in excess of $4,000 on all
generations and persons.
Attached to this bill We're two riders
one repeating the Canadian reciproc-
nv act. the other establishing tariff
commission.
These amendments carry the entire
bill back to the house, which had al
ready passed the main measure. 1t is
expected that the house will accept the
TWO amendments, and thus send the
measure to the president for his sigma
ture.
Thus congress is nearer establishing
a real income tax than it has been
since the supreme court in 1893 held
such a measure to be unconstitutional.
The senate's vote on the measure
Yesterday was decisive. 81 to 49, Pas
sage OF the bill was made possible by
a coalition Of the Democratic and the
progressive Republican senators.

Hoke Smith Leads
Fight for Measure,

The fight for the measure was led by
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia. who
opened the debate with two-hour
speech. He stated that he personally
favored a straight personal income tax,
and was supported in his opinion by
the fact that "a states have already
adopted the amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States authorizing
congress to lay such a tax But. he
said the Democrats generally believed
It to be safer to accomplish the same
resul; by merely extending the exist
ing corporation income tax to individ-
uals
Under the provisions of this measure
the man with an income Of $4,000 a
year, or less, is exempt from taxation.
Those whose yearly net income ex-
ceeds $1,000 must pay one per cent on
the amount in excess Of that sum. For
instance, if John Doe enjoys an in
come Of $500 a year, his tax paid to
the Federal government would be $25.
one per cent of the excess over $4,000.
If John D. Rockefeller's income is $25,-
600 600 as has been estimated his tax
would be $249.95O
1t has been computed that the bill
passed by the senate yesterday will
raise an annual revenue Of 100000, 900.

SELECTS A UNIQUE MEMORl |
Appropriate GraVestone-Granite
Tie From Maine Road.

In Woodbrook cemetery. Woburr
Mass. may be seen marking the grave
Of an old railroad employee, unique
and yet appropriate gravestone. II
was selected by the man beneath 1t
and was arranged for during his last
years Of life.
The man was Waterman Brown
born at New Bridge, now North Wo
burn, February 81, 1918. He died No
vember 8, 1900. On the stone is the
inscription: HE sleeps his last sleep;
he has fought his last battle; NO
sound shall awake him to glory again "
The memorial is block Of split
granite, one of the railroad ties used
in building the Boston and Lowell rail
road (now known as the southern d.
vision Of the Boston and Maine), prior
to 1885. It was quarr1ed at Tyngs
boro and boated down the Middlesez
canal to some point in Woburn.
This railroad. the first in the state
to be chartered. and the first to con
meet Boston with the north country,
was built in unique manner. stone
being used for ties, instead Of wood.
These ties were laid on parallel walls
Of stone three feet high under each
rail, a needless expense, as time sCoH
proved.
The old granite ties were the same
length as the later wooden ones. but
much larger in depth and width. The
rails were more literally Trail than
those Of the present time, and were Of
the "dsh-belly" type; two inches and
a quarter wide on the top. with sup
porting Hange beneath that "bellied"
between each supporting "cha1r" In
which 1t was seated.
These later were Of cast iron, and
fastened by spikes driven into wooden
plugs inserted in holes drilled in the
stone sleepers or ties. A fat surface
was dressed on the stone beneath the
rails, and any inequality in setting was
overcome by placing between the iron
and stone a square piece Of oak wood.
A track layers outfit included these,
perforated for the spikes and Of vary.
ing thickness.
One Of these chairs" with sec
ton Of an original rail. is seen fast
ened on the stone as Of old, save that
bronze bolts instead Of iron spikes
now secure 1t.
At the foot Of the grave is a shorter
stone or broken tie with another
chair" and short bit Of rail, placed
on the top end. On the headstone a
portion was smoothly dressed to re-
ceive the inscription.
